What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 640 Supersaturation Rescue

Dong Diwen

The dilapidated dock warehouse was filled with all kinds of boxes and scrap. Liang Kun and his few remaining men were cornered by the local gang and were making their last stand.

"Big Circle Boy, how many bullets do you have left?"

Big Circle Boy, one of his most capable henchmen, was very skilled, but he was now covered in injuries. He gripped a large black Star rifle with its sights worn down and was panting heavily.
"Brother Kun, just two shots left."

"Didn't I tell you to use it sparingly?!"

Liang Kun immediately became angry, but Daquanzi said aggrievedly:

"Brother Kun, who just said 'Big Circle Boy, fire that way,' 'Big Circle Boy, cover the mad dog,' 'Big Circle Boy…'"

"Alright, alright."

Liang Kun interrupted him with a dark face, looking at the brothers around him who were all wounded, holding two-finger rulers and homemade guns, and cursed inwardly.

He understood the principle of accepting the consequences of a bet, but that damned Gaijin just dumped them in this godforsaken place. They thought they could make a name for themselves, but when they arrived, they found that it wasn't like that at all.

Hong Kong mostly deals with knives, guns, and clubs, but here it's all about AKs!
That's bad enough. We finally managed to unite a few brothers and build a business far away from Gaijin, but the gangs here are too damn xenophobic. Recently, they even took advantage of the chaos outside and stopped pretending. They just grabbed their weapons and started sweeping, and our side was powerless to fight back.

Now he only hopes for one last sprint, that if he can grab a boat, he can escape... There is a very loud noise from the sky.

When our side, who were engaged in a chaotic battle at the dock, looked up, they saw an armored vehicle descending from the sky, its top covered with pure white parachutes!
"Brother Kun! Could Gold have sent the army?!"

"They're definitely not coming for us, run!"

Liang Kun knew his own limitations, but he knew that the people chasing him had definitely shifted their attention and were leading his men to try to find a speedboat that could be driven in the port.

However, the airborne troops' target was also the port, and although they tried their best to avoid it, they were easily blocked by an armored vehicle.

Upon seeing the truth transmitter on the roof of the vehicle, the group immediately dropped their weapons, obediently squatted on the ground, and raised their hands.

Liang Kun secretly sized up the other person, only to find that... they didn't look like a calamari.

Several soldiers had the word "UN" crookedly painted on their chests. What was that?
"@！#￥%&……"

A soldier cautiously approached and asked for Liang Kun's identity in the local language. Although Liang Kun, who had only recently become acquainted with the soldier, could understand the language, his answers were halting. The soldier seemed to have noticed something and switched to asking in English.

Liang Kun, who had made his way in Hong Kong, could answer the question, but the other person suddenly became agitated and asked again:
"Hong Kong, demolish Nice?"

"Uh, Yesel, HK!"

Unexpectedly, after confirming the situation, several soldiers surrounded them. Before they could figure it out, they excitedly shouted "Help," "HK," and "Chai Nisi," with a distorted "Gaijin" added to the mix!
Upon hearing Gai Jin's name, Liang Kun trembled as if suffering from PTSD, subconsciously repeating:
"Golden?"

"Gaijin?"

"Gai Jin!"

The soldiers became even more excited and quickly spoke into their walkie-talkies.

The group was bewildered as they were put into a car, but they found that the soldiers around them seemed to have no ill intentions. They even bandaged their wounds and gave them energy bars.

The car stopped shortly afterward, and the squad leader got out and found Bernard:
"Lieutenant Colonel! We've found the staff of the Chernis-Geigin!"

As he spoke, he proudly pushed Liang Kun and the others forward. Bernard's eyes immediately lit up. After a haphazard search of the group, he found a gold-plated employee ID card on "Big Circle Boy," with the unique gold snail logo on the back!

Golden legend!

Bernard immediately stepped forward and, with an exaggerated facial expression, said in a friendly manner to the boy from the Big Circle:
“Dear Gaijin, the joint forces have come to your rescue. Were you wounded while fighting the thugs? How many people like you are there?”

Big Circle Boy: "...Uh, a few got separated, and three died."

Realizing something was amiss, Liang Kun began translating in his rudimentary English. Bernard, upon hearing this, immediately revealed an indignant expression and pounded his chest:
"Don't worry, you're safe. We're here to protect you. Look, there's another plane!"

As they were talking, they looked up and saw two F-16s flying low overhead, one after the other. The roar of their jet engines left Liang Kun and Daquanzai speechless.

Wait, just because of Gaijin's employee ID, the joint forces deployed paratroopers and fighter jets to rescue them?
Gai Jinlian can control everything?!

Manhattan

United University Building
The kangaroo spokesperson solemnly read:
“澳州出动3艘博斯级驱逐舰、2艘阿莱德级护卫舰、1艘托布鲁克级登陆舰、1艘潜艇、8架战斗机、4架加油机以及5架运输机后，成功解救7名被困东迪文的盖金职员，并且发现已有3人不幸离世。

General Vincent solemnly stated that humanitarian efforts in Pawa have not disappeared and that they will continue to act as a UN peacekeeping force in quelling the unrest in the region.

"..."

The representative of the Wawa was ashen-faced, the representative of the Empire, Hastings, remained silent with a dark expression, while the Japanese... the Japanese representative never stopped laughing! After the battleship Fusang of the second squadron completed the feat of recreating a famous historical scene, the first to reach a climax were not the people of the country, but the thousands of Japanese citizens.

At this time, Japan had emerged from the shadow of defeat and its economy was booming like never before. With money in their pockets, the people were thinking about how to improve their status and show off their prestige, and they tried to invest heavily in the cultural field to expand their influence.

Many excellent animated works were born from this, but animation aside, after the Fusang and Kongo became famous in Southeast Asia, the local people were thrilled and felt an unprecedented sense of happiness and satisfaction:

The era of battleships is back, that's great;
The Combined Fleet is back, that's great;
It's wonderful that the combined fleet can traverse the oceans.
The Kongo made even the most advanced Arleigh Burke ship fail miserably; that's great.

Japanese media immediately compiled a detailed list of the Japanese warships in the first and second divisions, and then recounted their enormous role in the special operation in the South Pacific.

Especially the picture of the Benfold being attacked from all sides, after being cropped to only show the Kongo and Yahagi, once it was circulated, everyone who saw it smiled with genuine satisfaction.

The most enthusiastic fans are those of Space Battleship Yamato. Since the Japanese spent a huge sum of money to buy the Yamato, many people have regretted it. But if the Kongo can outclass the Benfold, how strong must the Yamato be?

Arleigh Burke is nothing special!

In the eyes of a large number of Japanese citizens, the Maritime Defense Force equals the Combined Fleet, and defeating the Benfold equals defeating the Imperial Navy. Therefore:
The Combined Fleet has defeated the invincible Imperial Navy! Long live the battleships! Long live the Combined Fleet!
The Japanese authorities don't want to get involved in Southeast Asia right now; they're just desperately trying to get Gaikin to buy back the Kongo. If they can't buy it back, they'll even let it stop in Edo Bay for a few days. They absolutely have to replicate the treaty scene!
The Maritime Self-Defense Force, on the other hand, is eager to try and figure out when to take back the modernized Yamato from its father and go out to show off its power.

As for everything about wawa—that doesn't matter.

The UN General Assembly was already furious about what was happening there, and the main theme now is the genuine pursuit of love and peace. So why are you trying to cause trouble?
The Empire was also unhappy, so Hastings rejected the request from the Raptors to withdraw their allied forces, as the Raptors had deployed nearly 70% of their navy and a large number of air force troops simply out of a desire to help.

As for the Jataka Agreement and Natuna Island, the Imperial Navy believed that as long as a formal navy was not stationed there, it wouldn't be a big problem. After all, Gatchai's influence in the South China Sea was already a foregone conclusion, which was a matter of another level.

The "Wow!" episode was turned over amidst the Empire's impatience, and Hastings immediately followed up with another bombshell, holding up a photograph:
"22 hours ago, the USS Stanson was spotted in Campsite Bay..."

After explaining what had happened, Hastings made a firm announcement:

"Since the subcontinent has consistently been passive and even resistant to peacefully resolving the mushroom problem, and there is suspicion of cooperation with the Lost Empire, the Prism Building proposes that the IAEA conduct another inspection. If India still refuses, then we request authorization to carry out targeted elimination to eliminate the possibility of the Lost Empire obtaining mushrooms!"

This was a real bombshell; the Empire's reaction was so swift that the vast majority of representatives were completely bewildered.

However, when it came to the Lost Empire and the Mushroom, many representatives became serious, and preventing the Lost Empire from obtaining the Mushroom Egg was everyone's bottom line.

Moreover, since the laundry detergent incident has not yet occurred, people are more inclined to believe that Prism Building will not smear the matter.

The resolution to allow the IAEA to re-enter the country on an emergency basis was successfully passed.

As for sending troops... Mao opposed it.

Hastings was not discouraged. The Atlantic Treaty had reached an internal agreement to begin mobilizing troops, and even Hans was willing to contribute, but he was tacitly kept out and only allowed to contribute money.

Dai Ying would not allow his brother to be associated with the lost empire, and was sternly questioning:
San'er, did you come into contact with any bad people?

Third Brother: No!

Dai Ying: I don't believe it unless you let me search it up.

Of course, the third brother wouldn't allow it, so Blair also tried to use this to put pressure on him and force out the truth.

Before the meeting adjourned, Hastings distributed photographs of the broken lead containers. Because they were taken on film, the developed photos still showed a lot of noise.

Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications Building

That concludes our lecture for today... Thank you everyone.

Tang Wen put down the microphone, and the audience below immediately stirred, rushing forward to ask questions.

The domestic MDA plan has been fully implemented, and the higher-ups have decided that Ni Zhenhai will oversee the development of a single type of MDA, focusing on one architecture, one platform, one system, and one ecosystem. However, the specific division of labor remains to be seen...

At least for the past few days, various research institutes and departments have been coming to Beijing with empty promises, all hoping to get the most lucrative piece of the pie.

The telecommunications bureau is also quite interested in mobile networks. As an entity comparable to the railway giant, they have ample funds and are willing to increase their investment again.

However, just as Tang Wen was preparing to answer questions on the spot, Secretary Chen appeared at the door and waved.

Pushing through the crowd, Secretary Chen immediately asked:
"What's the situation at Campsite Bay? Can you provide any information?"

Tang Wen thought for a moment:
"The Lost Empire and the South Seas are not without reservations either, that's all I can say."

Secretary Chen felt much more at ease. They knew that the South Seas possessed nuclear submarines, and a few nuclear warheads would suffice.

It's good that the Lost Empire's deal with India has nothing to do with Southeast Asia.
