Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

The conference room at Longxing Factory has now been converted into a command center by Li Yu.

Li Yu was staring at the screen, pondering the next step in his financial attack plan, when suddenly footsteps came from the doorway.

"Li Yu".

The voice of Bai's father came through; he was wearing a Zhongshan suit, followed by several cadres in military uniforms.

Li Yu quickly stood up to greet him: "Dad, what brings you here? Please have a seat."

After everyone was seated, Mr. Bai didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I'm here today for two reasons. First, I'm here on behalf of my superiors to inquire about the progress of your cooperation with the Western Communications Alliance."

"Secondly, I want to tell you the truth: the country needs a stable external environment right now, and we cannot be too aggressive in our technological competition with the West."

He paused, looked at the global base station map on the screen, and said in a heavy tone, "Your 3G technology has indeed allowed Longteng to gain a firm foothold and has also allowed the country to stand tall in the field of communications."

"But the Rockefeller family is involved with the entire Western capital system. If they are pushed too far, it will inevitably cause unnecessary turmoil."

"The above means that we should stop while we're ahead and try to use cooperation to buy more time for technological development."

An officer standing nearby added, "Chief Engineer Li, we've all seen your plan and admire it greatly."

"But the international situation is complex now, and maintaining stability is the best solution."

After listening, Li Yu picked up the water glass on the table and took a small sip.

"Dad, esteemed leaders, I understand the nation's concerns."

As he spoke, he stood up, walked to the large screen, and pointed to the flashing red dot on it.

That's America's financial center and energy lifeline, "but have you ever considered that now is the best time!"

"The Western communications alliance has been trapped by our fake technology, having already poured tens of billions of dollars into it, and their cash flow is stretched thin."

"The seeds of environmental scandals have already been sown in the Rockefeller family's energy business, and the stock price was already teetering on the brink."

"More importantly, they thought they had our technicians under control and lowered their guard; this was their weakest point!"

"To stop now would be to release a tiger back into the mountains! Once they recover, they will only intensify their suppression of us."

"By then, breaking through the West's technological blockade will be even more difficult!"

Then, he changed the subject, a confident smile spreading across his face: "Besides that, we now have the confidence!"

"I handed over the complete technology for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to the Navy three months ago. Now, in the dock of Jiangnan Shipyard, the keel of the first domestically built nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has begun to be laid."

"The improvement plan for the stealth fighter has also been sent to Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, and the latest prototype will make its maiden flight next month."

"As for intercontinental ballistic missiles..."

Li Yu pressed the remote control, and the screen switched to a document marked "Top Secret".

The above is a timeline of the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles. "Longxing's aerospace department has already cooperated with the Second Artillery Corps."

The development project for the "Dongfeng" intercontinental ballistic missile was launched, with a range covering the globe, capable of carrying multiple independently targetable nuclear warheads, and possessing penetration capabilities far exceeding existing technologies.

The eyes of Bai's father and several officers lit up instantly, their faces showing disbelief.

"You brat..." Bai's father pointed at Li Yu, speechless for a moment.

After a moment's pause, he said, "You actually brought out all these technologies?"

Li Yu said calmly, "It's time to bring out these technologies. If we want stable development, we can't be weaker than others."

"With an aircraft carrier, our coastal defense can be extended thousands of miles forward."

"With stealth fighters, no one will dare to violate our airspace."

"With intercontinental ballistic missiles, we can truly keep enemies at bay!"

He looked at everyone and said firmly, "With all this in place, we are no longer afraid of the military threat from the United States in our coastal waters!"

"Now, let's deliver a fatal blow to them on the financial battlefield!"

"I'm going to short Rockefeller's energy stock and expose their accounting fraud scandal."

I want to use the backdoor in the base station to obtain insider trading data from Western capital and throw their financial system into disarray.

"I will make sure the Western Communications Alliance loses its entire $50 billion investment and that the Rockefeller family's century-old legacy crumbles!"

"Only by inflicting pain and fear upon them can we achieve true peace and stability! The current concessions are not stability, but compromise!"

The command center was silent, with only the data on the screens still moving silently.

After a moment of silence, Bai's father suddenly stood up and patted Li Yu on the shoulder.

"Good lad! Well said! That's exactly the kind of fighting spirit you have right now!"

He turned to the officer behind him: "I'll go back now and relay Li Yu's words verbatim. I believe the leaders will make the right decision!"

Several officers stood up and saluted Li Yu: "Chief Engineer Li, we await your good news! Please let us know if you need any cooperation from the military!"

Before leaving, one of the officers took out a confidentiality agreement and had everyone present sign one. Then the group left Longxing Factory.

After seeing off Bai's father and his party, Li Yu stood at the window of the command center, looking at the rocket launch tower of Longxing Factory in the distance.

He picked up his phone and dialed Lou Zhenhua's number.

"Brother Bancheng, launch the 'Financial Falcon' plan."

"First, let Wall Street agents start shorting Rockefeller family energy companies on a massive scale first thing tomorrow morning."

"Second, we anonymously sent the evidence of environmental scandals that we had gathered to international environmental organizations and major Western media outlets."

"Third, financial data of Western telecommunications alliances obtained through base station backdoors were leaked to short-selling institutions."

"I will make the Rockefeller family experience what annihilation truly means within a week!"

Lou Zhenhua, on the other end of the phone, sounded excited: "Understood! Chief Engineer Li, this time we must make sure they lose everything!"

After hanging up, Li Yu dialed Zhou Qiming's encrypted number again.

"Qiming, upgrade the backdoor program on the base station to another level." Li

"Turning every base station in the Western communications alliance into our ATM."

"Their user data and operator revenue are our ammunition to attack the financial market."

Zhou Qiming, far away in New York, whispered into the microphone, "Don't worry, Chief Engineer Li, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

"Alexander is still waiting for our 'optimization plan,' and I'll make him pour every last penny into it!"

As night deepened, the command center of Longxing Factory remained brightly lit.

On the screen, a chart of global financial market trends slowly unfolded, with red downward arrows already faintly appearing.
