Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

In mid-January 1991, the Gulf War broke out.

A new era has arrived in the new year.

It should be peace.

Unexpectedly, war broke out.

In the living room of the villa in Limidong, Beijiang City, Zhao Mancang and his family were having dinner, but their eyes were glued to the news broadcast on television.

During the Gulf War, there was an operation called Operation Desert Storm, which has been reported by news anchors on CCTV's evening news program.

In the face of overwhelming firepower, all beings are equal.

The value of this statement is still increasing.

Faced with Sam's fierce firepower, the Date Empire was simply unable to defend itself.

Zhao Mancang watched the news for a while, his brows furrowing.

Sam's country was already almost torn apart, yet the Gulf War still managed to break out.

George Herbert is dead.

In Washington, there was no leader, so who exactly united Great Britain and other countries?

Despite news reports stating that there are three carrier strike groups in the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean, and other locations.

But someone has to give the order, right?
"I'm full, you guys continue eating, I have some things to take care of."

After frowning for a moment, Zhao Mancang put down his chopsticks and bowl, said something to Lin Wan and Liu Baochan, and then got up and left in a hurry.

More than an hour later, in Yunlan City, Longyun Kingdom.

Inside the conference room of the municipal government office building, Chen Guohua and his colleagues were all gathered together, summoned by Zhao Mancang for a meeting.

"Do you even know what the situation is like in the United States right now? Why is the neighboring Date Empire still getting utterly crushed?"

Upon hearing Zhao Mancang's words, Chen Guohua and the others did not respond immediately.

They really weren't very clear about the situation in Sam's country.

Even now, they still don't quite understand what's going on with those three carrier strike groups.

Of course, these three carrier strike groups are relatively far from Longyun Kingdom, so they still dare not provoke Longyun Kingdom.

However, the Coconut Empire was not far from the Dragon Cloud Kingdom; it was only separated by the Gulf of Aden and the Saudi Empire.

In addition, the Longyun Kingdom already had a lot of economic exchanges with the Date Empire, and their relationship was relatively good.

Now that the Date Empire has been defeated, they have sent people to the Dragon Cloud Kingdom to seek help.

So, will Longyun Kingdom help or not?
"Boss, maybe we've been fooled by Sam's side. Perhaps George Herbert isn't dead at all."

Before Chen Guohua could finish speaking, Zhao Mancang interrupted him:
“Impossible, George Herbert is dead, I can prove that.”

Upon hearing this, Lü Yangui and the others looked at Zhao Mancang with surprise. How could the latter be so certain that George Herbert was dead?

Good guy!
Could it be that Zhao Mancang killed George Herbert?
interesting!
Regardless of whether Zhao Mancang killed him or not, at the moment, this matter definitely needs to be investigated from multiple perspectives.

On the other hand, who is really in charge in the United States right now?

Zhao Mancang held a meeting with them for a while, and then went straight to Sam without stopping.

If Zhao Mancang were to wait directly in Yunlan City, he definitely wouldn't be able to sit still.

He has always handled Sam's affairs personally.

Surprisingly, something unexpected still happened. The Americans even learned how to use the Thirty-Six Stratagems!

It seems that Zhao Mancang hasn't killed enough people.

Or perhaps the date empire has more interests to gain?

While Zhao Mancang was heading to the U.S. Empire, on the other side, in South America, on the land Kimura had purchased, there was a very secluded special agent training school.

Tonight, a 100-man squad from the Black Cross has appeared in the vicinity.

They've been scouting the school for almost a week and are pretty sure everyone there will be on campus tonight.

So they plan to take action tonight and complete their mission.

"The C4 bomb has been installed, and the detonator is basically locked in place."

The team members returned from all directions and relayed the information to the team leader.

As we all know, C4 bombs are normally very stable and will not detonate no matter how they are burned.

Moreover, a C4 bomb is essentially a lump of plastic; you can shape it however you want without any problem.

Detonating it is also very simple: place the C4 bomb close to the desired location, insert a detonator, and then press the switch to detonate it.

C4 bombs are very useful in many fields because they are safe and have a high explosive power.

So when the Black Cross team members were about to take down this so-called special agent training school, the first thing that came to mind was the so-called C4 bomb.

"Alright, everyone get ready. We'll detonate everything in one minute."

After confirming it several times, the captain made the arrangements accordingly.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, and then began to disperse in all directions.

The special agent training school is very large and has a large number of people.

Although it doesn't have as many students as a typical university in China, it far surpasses it in terms of campus size.

But it doesn't matter, the C4 bomb only needs to detonate the students' dormitories and the instructors' residences.

There are also places like libraries.

In conclusion, this time, this special agent training school will inevitably be wiped out.

As the minute was up, everyone pressed the switch to detonate the detonator, and soon a huge explosion rang out.

In South America, a giant mushroom cloud rose into the night.

Flames shot into the sky, illuminating a large area nearby.

hiss!
The loud explosion woke many people up, and many rushed out.

"Baka yarou, that's our school!"

Most of the people living nearby are from Kimura, and some of them are very clear that this direction is right in front of the special agent training school.

So they were furious and quickly arranged for people to go and put out the fire.

But when they arrived at the scene, they found that the school had been completely destroyed.

The entire scene had been completely covered up.

Unbeknownst to them, insect drones and bird drones were also watching them from nearby, and everyone was being monitored.

Those who led the group were placed under close surveillance and would be beheaded in the coming period.

Kimura's every action in South America will be meticulously planned.

Even in a place like South America, Kimura would face restrictions.

Perhaps the outside world is unaware of their plans to switch countries.

But in front of Zhao Mancang, this matter had long been exposed.

Of course, Kimura's strategy is to "accumulate resources and build strong defenses before declaring himself king." Perhaps they will only begin to act when the local population has exceeded ten million, or even fifty million.

After all, Kimura people did not integrate into the local community at all. Instead, they acquired land and built their own schools, banks, hospitals, etc., and hardly interacted with the locals.

Tokyo, the Sumitomo family.

"Baka! Why is the Dragon Cloud Kingdom doing this? What have we done to offend them?" The Sumitomo family's higher-ups have already learned about Sumitomo Kiyota's actions, and all the family heads are furious.

The Sumitomo family has their sights set on South America, and they want to carry out a country-swapping plan there.

The reason why Jiro Nakamura was sent to Longyun Country was simply for Longyun Country's high technology.

Robots and other technological products are all ahead of their time.

Even the fighter jets that Longyun Kingdom has yet to reveal, and we don't know whether they are Mach 10 or Mach 15, but in any case, they are definitely much faster than Mach 5 fighter jets.

In this respect, Longyun Kingdom has indeed taken the lead in the world. It seems reasonable for the Sumitomo family to want to learn from it.

"Shut up!"

Sumitomo Juro, an elder of the Sumitomo family, reprimanded them, his cold gaze sweeping across the entire room, and said:
"Stop talking. The situation is very clear now. Don't harbor any illusions. Longyun Kingdom is not an ordinary country. We must be extremely vigilant in dealing with it."

"Our work in South America is more important. So many people have died there recently, causing all our efforts there to be in vain."

Anger is inevitable, but even if you're angry, life goes on.

The plan to change countries must also be carried out to the end.

Therefore, for the Sumitomo family at present, they should make more thorough plans.

At the same time, we should not provoke the Dragon Cloud Kingdom again, otherwise, no one knows if an even worse situation might occur.

Hearing Sumitomo Juro's words, everyone fell silent. This matter was, well, so frustrating.

But that's the reality: the enemy is too powerful, and they simply can't fight back.

Even in North America, things are now struggling to take care of themselves.

And what about Kimura?

On the other side, in North America, Washington, D.C.

Zhao Mancang has been here for five days, but he still hasn't found out who is in charge here.

The Gulf War is raging, and he suspects it was orchestrated by the military-industrial complex itself, the so-called California conglomerate.

After all, only their conglomerate would be so obsessed with war, because only war can allow their conglomerate to continue to expand.

However, Zhao Mancang has been closely monitoring several families within the California consortium, but has still not found the real person in charge.

So who exactly is in charge?

"Did I go in the wrong direction? Should I go check out the Gulf War site?"

Suddenly, this thought popped into Zhao Mancang's mind, and he was startled by it.

He immediately rejected the idea, because even if he went to the site, he still wouldn't be able to solve the problem.

It's better to just wait here in Washington, D.C.

Several large states, including California and Texas, seem to be arguing fiercely and appear to genuinely want to secede from federal rule. But is that really the case?

"Damn, this is really difficult."

Zhao Mancang couldn't help but curse under his breath, but then he laughed at himself.

"That's fine, then I'll play along with you for a while and see if your schemes and strategies are better or mine are stronger."

He muttered to himself, having already decided what to do next.

He no longer intends to carry out this task personally; instead, he will have the Black Cross forces handle it.

Half a month later, in Longyun Kingdom, in a desert area near Ethiopia, a satellite launch base was established in a region where the Gobi Desert stretched for five kilometers.

A rocket will be launched from here today.

Zhao Mancang did not come to the site to watch the launch, but watched the launch from the Yunlan City Government office building through a live broadcast.

The Dragon Cloud Kingdom is also about to begin its lunar exploration program, which puts it ahead of many other countries.

With the Spring Festival just around the corner, the Dragon Cloud Kingdom is actually planning to explore the moon?
Why explore the moon?
First, it's to celebrate the Spring Festival; second, it's to divert everyone's attention; and third, it's to send a signal to the outside world that Longyun Kingdom's aerospace capabilities are unparalleled in the world.

The first point is self-explanatory, but the second point is something that leaves many people scratching their heads.

The Gulf War has now reached a point where it can practically be declared over.

After all, the date palm empire didn't have any other tricks up its sleeve besides setting fire to the oil fields in Kuwait, a small place.

Even if the Date Empire still has a lot of soldiers, so what?

Sam might not dare to do anything against the Dragon Cloud Kingdom, but dealing with a Date Empire would be a piece of cake for him.

This Gulf War was quite shocking to many countries.

Because just one operation, Desert Storm, had everyone completely shocked.

The information network composed of early warning aircraft and other aircraft radar systems meant that as soon as the fighter jets from the Coconut Empire took off, the US already knew about them and could intercept them in advance with missile lock-on.

Good heavens, the fighter jets on the date palm empire's side are practically running naked.

Therefore, this overseas war was nothing more than a military performance from beginning to end.

Zhao Mancang knew all this, so now that the other party had finished their performance, it was Long Yunguo's turn.

"Countdown begins. Ten, nine, eight, seven, three, two, one, launch!"

After the chief commander of the satellite launch site announced the launch, the rocket ignited at its base, immediately spewing out a large amount of blue flames, followed by a large amount of water vapor.

At this moment, the rocket had begun to slowly ascend.

As the rocket launched, many onlookers nearby erupted in cheers.

Chen Guohua, Lü Yangui, Lin Dehong and others also showed happy smiles.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Mancang walked out of the conference room with a smile.

Once there, the rocket will surely be able to successfully send the spacecraft into space, then orbit the Earth, then enter the Earth-Moon system, then enter the lunar orbit system, and finally land on the lunar surface.

"If I pilot that aircraft directly there, it should be quick, right?"

Zhao Mancang also wanted to go see the surface of the moon. Although he had heard that the moon was full of craters and there was nothing to see, he just wanted to find something to do.

As for Sam's situation, it's because the other party wanted to play dirty tricks, and he was too lazy to play this game of hide-and-seek with them.

He'd definitely be unhappy staying home sightseeing, so it's better for him to go see the moon.

A few days later, he redeemed a high-tech spacecraft from the system that could fly into space, and then couldn't wait to head to the moon.

Before leaving, he gave Lin Wan and Liu Baochan a few instructions and then called Zheng Ruoyan and the others.

After making the arrangements, they boarded the spacecraft and set off for the moon.

The intelligent driving system is very easy and convenient. Zhao Mancang only needs to input the destination, and the spacecraft can automatically fly to the moon safely and quickly.

But as soon as the spacecraft left Earth, Zhao Mancang looked back and froze.

Zhao Mancang quickly came up with a term: megalophobia!

The universe is like an abyss, and he is gazing into it.

Even with his exceptional skills and daring nature, he was somewhat afraid at this moment.

However afraid we may be, once we've set off, we should face the wind and rain without fear.

The way to overcome fear is to face it head-on. Besides, Zhao Mancang is no ordinary person. Whether it's megalophobia or the dark and lonely universe, he firmly believes that he can overcome it.

"I've come to the moon, but I wonder if Chang'e and Yutu are home?"
