I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Natasha always speaks with great passion when discussing intelligence work. A sharp glint flashes in her eyes, and her tone is firm: "Currently, our intelligence network has basically achieved global coverage, and we have initially completed the construction of a three-tiered intelligence transmission system. Oh, of course, in Xia Country, we only have two places with intelligence exchange stations officially authorized by the Xia Country government."

"As for other regions, our lower-level intelligence officers are responsible for collecting basic information, mid-level liaison officers coordinate regional intelligence and transmit it in encrypted form, and high-level intelligence officers directly liaise with headquarters to ensure zero delay and zero leakage of information. More importantly, all spies are Red Alert units, which have extremely strong counter-surveillance and disguise skills. They can infiltrate under multiple identities such as businessmen, diplomats, and journalists. Even if their identities are exposed, they can quickly initiate self-destruct procedures and never leak any secrets from headquarters."

After Natasha finished her report, she nodded slightly and calmly took her seat. Immediately afterward, Salt rose, saluted, and solemnly began, "Commander, I'm here to report on the current situation in Amanda and Christmas. These two countries have deployed 1.8 Red Alert personnel, encompassing the navy, air force, army, and logistics support units, forming a complete defense and combat system sufficient to handle all kinds of emergencies."

"The two countries have a combined civilian population of 3, all of whom migrated from war-torn regions in Europe and Africa, as well as overseas Chinese communities. After rigorous identity screening and ideological guidance, they have settled down and become the basic workforce in both countries. Urban development is already taking shape. Amanda, with its port cities as the core, leverages its advantageous geographical location to develop maritime trade and currently has three international shipping routes connecting to European and African markets. Christmas focuses on agriculture and mining, exporting its products through Amanda's ports, forming a complementary and mutually beneficial economic model. Both countries have established basic medical and educational systems, and social order is stable, providing sufficient human resources and logistical support for the construction of the sub-base."

After Salt's report, Bond, dressed in a sharp suit, rose with composure and spoke in a calm and elegant tone, methodically introducing the business layout: "Commander, my business empire in England and Hong Kong has been established. As of last month, my total assets exceeded 600 billion US dollars, with core industries covering finance, shipping, mining, and luxury goods trade."

"In England, it has taken control of two local banks, ventured into early-stage oil field exploration, and acquired three large shipping companies, monopolizing nearly 20% of England's ocean shipping market share. In Hong Kong, it has established a presence in real estate, docks, and textiles, occupying half of the office buildings and shops in Hong Kong's core business district. Relying on its free port advantages, it has built a trade bridge connecting Southeast Asia and European and American markets, and its commercial revenue is steadily increasing."

Then, Leng Feng stood up, exuding a chilling aura. His expression was stern as he reported in a deep voice on the gray industry layout: "Commander, the gangs and gray industries under my jurisdiction have formed a large-scale layout, with the core concentrated in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Hong Kong accounts for 7%, covering port cargo control, underground security, and cross-border trade channels, forming a linkage with Bond's business layout to effectively ensure trade security; Taiwan accounts for 3%, mainly controlling the local arms distribution and underground casino industry. It has deeply penetrated the core of local Taiwanese forces, enabling it to quickly obtain regional intelligence and provide support for subsequent operations."

After Leng Feng sat down, Wang Wei straightened his back and stood up, his voice loud and powerful, revealing the toughness of a soldier: "Commander, I currently have 1216 elite pilots under my command. Since they are all Red Alert units, everyone automatically masters the operation of various aircraft types such as the F/A-18 Super Hornet and the E-2C Hawkeye early warning aircraft, and can be deployed to combat at any time. I am currently preparing to select 300 pilots to conduct targeted carrier adaptation training, laying a solid foundation for cooperating with Nimitz-class aircraft carriers in carrying out long-range combat missions. The remaining 900 pilots are deployed to air force bases in Amanda and Christmas, constructing a two-tiered air defense and strike system that can cover a radius of 2000 kilometers, building a solid defensive barrier."

Finally, Scarlett rose, her posture agile, her eyes sharp as an eagle, and reported firmly: "Commander, I am in charge of a 6000-strong Red Alert special forces unit. All members have undergone real-world combat training in jungles, deserts, and cities, and are skilled in high-risk missions such as infiltration, raids, and hostage rescue. The unit is equipped with the most advanced Red Alert individual soldier equipment and has all-weather combat capabilities. It is worth mentioning that, due to the establishment of the nuclear fusion power plant, we can quickly reach any region on Earth in the future through hyperspace teleportation to complete reinforcements and combat missions as soon as possible, ensuring absolute success."

As Zhou Weiguo listened to everyone's reports, his fingertips unconsciously tapped the table. The more he listened, the more overwhelmed he felt. Thirty thousand spies, three aircraft carrier battle groups, six thousand special forces soldiers, plus a global network of businesses and gray industries—unbeknownst to him, he had unknowingly amassed such a massive combat and economic force, far exceeding his initial expectations.

He quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, adjusted his emotions, and his expression returned to calm and solemnity. He turned his gaze to Shaot and issued the order in a firm tone: "Shaot, after the meeting, you will immediately contact the Xia Kingdom's official authorities and proceed in a covert manner to complete a deep strategic partnership with Xia Kingdom, while also implementing corresponding technology sharing."

He paused, then added further details, demonstrating his thorough consideration: "On the military front, we can also provide appropriate assistance. We will select a batch of Red Alert equipment suitable for Xia's current defense needs and deliver it in stages. At the same time, we will send technical personnel to accompany us to assist Xia in mastering sufficient military technology. Remember, the process must be discreet, and we must not expose the core details of our Red Alert forces. Technology sharing will mainly focus on 'simplified and practical technologies'."

Shaot immediately stood up and saluted, replying solemnly, "Yes, Commander! I will strictly follow your instructions, prioritize connecting with reliable channels in Xia Kingdom, and ensure the smooth progress of strategic cooperation and aid work without any mishaps."

Zhou Weiguo nodded slightly, then looked at Natasha: "Natasha, you will cooperate with Shaote's work, mobilize the intelligence network around Hong Kong and China, conduct a comprehensive investigation of the security of the communication channels, and monitor the dynamics of America, Canada, and China. If any abnormalities are found, report them immediately and make sure to clear any obstacles for this cooperation."

Natasha immediately rose to accept the order, her posture upright and her expression grave as she added, "Yes, Commander. Furthermore, according to the latest intelligence reports, the Japanese have been making frequent moves recently. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and other core military factories have restarted large-scale warship production lines, primarily producing destroyers and submarines, seemingly to expand the strength of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. At the same time, since the new Prime Minister took office, he has repeatedly made provocative remarks against China in diplomatic settings, displaying an arrogant attitude."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's brows furrowed instantly, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes. He increased the force of his tapping on the table, his tone filled with impatience and ruthlessness: "These kids really don't learn their lesson. They've only been warned for a short while and they're already causing trouble again. Since they won't stop, there's no need to leave them any more room to maneuver."

He glanced across the room, his voice suddenly rising: "From this moment forward, all units under Red Alert shall immediately launch a comprehensive blockade and suppression against Little Life. Militarily, closely monitor the movements of its military factories and warships, disrupt its production lines, and allow the use of submarines to sink its maritime transport ships without being detected; technologically, cut off all its external sources of core military technology; commercially, have Bond use his global business empire to short-sell its foreign trade stocks and block all of Little Life's import channels as much as possible."

Zhou Weiguo paused, his tone becoming increasingly resolute: "In short, use every means that can harm our lives, as long as it doesn't expose us, leave no room for compromise. I want them to fully understand the price they pay for provoking Xia Kingdom and crossing our bottom line!"
