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

Zhou Weiguo shook his head slightly, raised his hand to bring up the energy point panel of the Red Alert system, and looked at the ample values ​​on the panel. He felt more confident and tapped the panel with his fingertip. The values ​​were clearly displayed in front of everyone.

He looked up at Shaot, his tone resolute and firm: "No, I'll give you 30 energy points. Use them as you see fit. Two months is too long; I'll only give you one month. After one month, I want to see Venezuela and the Cigar Country completely under our control!"

Upon hearing this, Shaote's expression suddenly became even more serious: "Master, if we accelerate the process of gaining control of Venezuela and Cigar Country, and then actively provoke America and target our little country, the commotion might be too great and could easily trigger a multi-country joint pressure, putting us in a passive position."

Zhou Weiguo scoffed, slamming his hand on the table as he stood up, his tone full of arrogance and domineering: "Big? What kind of big is this? This is far from big! Since America loves to swagger and cause trouble at China's doorstep, then don't blame me for going straight to their doorstep and flipping the table!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room changed their expressions. No one had expected Zhou Weiguo to be so radical, already intending to confront the United States head-on.

Natasha quickly stood up, leaning slightly forward, her tone urgent and her expression full of worry: "Master, do you mean we're going to declare war directly? But we don't have a legitimate reason. Declaring war rashly will draw international condemnation and could even lead to our isolation!"

Zhou Weiguo slowly shook his head, his eyes sharp as knives, his tone resounding, every word carrying an undeniable force: "Only weak countries need to rack their brains to find excuses, strong countries never do! How many wars have you seen America fight? Which of their reasons was truly justifiable? It was nothing but crushing power! We used to lack the ability and energy, so we had to endure and hide our shortcomings; that was one thing. But now we have a strong army, abundant energy, and lack nothing. There's no need to hide anymore! Taking the initiative will not only help Xia Country share the pressure from other countries, but also give us the opportunity to confront Xia Country head-on and settle old scores. Let's do it!"

He hesitated for a moment, a decisive glint in his eyes, and continued, "Why not do this? It's just a matter of lacking a legitimate reason, isn't it? Simple! We'll just announce publicly that our current forces have united to form the ASEAN, and all the areas we control will belong to this federation!"

Salt gasped for breath, his eyes flashing with intense light. His body trembled slightly with excitement, and his voice was filled with urgency and a hint of concern: "Hiss, Commander, do you mean we're going to stop hiding and lay all our strength on the table? Isn't that... a bit too impulsive? Once we're completely outmaneuvered, we'll be facing a multinational force led by the United States!" Several Red Alert core members beside him nodded in agreement, their eyes full of conviction, clearly agreeing with Salt's concerns.

Zhou Weiguo leaned back in his seat, his fingertips lightly tapping the table with a steady rhythm. His tone was not impatient at all, but rather exuded a confident and composed air: "Impulsive? No, this is not impulsive. If it were something impulsive, I wouldn't have said it yet."

His tone shifted abruptly, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes, and the atmosphere around him instantly plummeted to freezing. Seeing this, everyone composed themselves, sat up straight, and dared not utter a sound. Zhou Weiguo said in a deep voice, "Don't those 'little devils' like to jump around and follow the US in targeting China? The moment we established ASEAN, we publicly announced that we had mastered a mature nuclear strike capability. At the same time, we sternly condemned the heinous crimes committed by those 'little devils' on Chinese soil, making it clear that we will never forgive or tolerate them; we also strongly criticized the US for condoning the rearmament of defeated nations, tearing off their hypocritical mask."

"Does the United States want to use our daily lives as a pawn to contain China?"

Zhou Weiguo sneered, his tone resolute, his murderous aura undisguised: "Then I'll break their legs first, and make their plans completely fall through!"

As soon as the words were spoken, anger ignited in everyone's eyes. They nodded in agreement, with some whispering in agreement, "They should have been dealt with a long time ago!"

He paused, looked up at the air, and called out loudly, "That's right, Nannan!"

The girl's soft, sweet voice immediately rang out in the conference room: "Yes, brother!"

"Immediately launch the construction plan to build 50 mushroom-shaped hulls, and at the same time form 7 all-round aircraft carrier battle groups. Each battle group should be equipped with nuclear submarines and various auxiliary ships to form a complete combat system."

Zhou Weiguo's tone was decisive, without the slightest hesitation, his eyes filled with resolve: "If we don't have enough energy points, we'll increase the production of mining trucks and send them deep into the ocean to explore and extract energy. We must ensure the construction progress is up to date and there can be no delays whatsoever!"

"No problem, brother!"

He turned to Salt and added, "Once the mushroom wells are completed, Salt, you will be responsible for deploying nuclear weapons in Atal and Christmas Island according to strategic needs, building a comprehensive nuclear deterrent system. Furthermore, once Venezuela and Cigarette Country have complete control, deploy sufficient military units and mushroom wells in those two countries immediately, creating a two-way check on America. I want to make America, that troublemaker, taste what it's like to be attacked from both sides!"

Shao Te immediately nodded, his eyes resolute, and stood up, replying in a deep voice, "Understood!"

The others also looked excited, their eyes full of anticipation. A comprehensive nuclear deterrent meant they would have absolute confidence.

Speaking of the carrier strike group, Zhou Weiguo's tone became increasingly assertive, and his aura grew more intense: "The carrier battle group can't lag behind either. First, send two strike groups to the Asia-Pacific region to regularly patrol and loiter in the waters around Xia Guo and near the US naval base. I want to see if they dare to make the first move! I'm all barefoot now and have nothing to lose. Now that we have the Red Alert system, and we're almost fully developed, I have no intention of letting myself or Xia Guo suffer any more humiliation!"

Upon hearing this, everyone straightened their backs, their expressions becoming excited. Some clenched their fists, their eyes filled with fighting spirit, and the atmosphere in the conference room was completely ignited.

Zhou Weiguo paused slightly, then looked at Shaote and added, "Also, the carrier battle groups deployed in Atal and Christmas Island, stop waiting in the docks! Send them all out to conduct routine patrols of the waters surrounding our ASEAN countries, strengthen our homeland defenses, and prevent any country from spying or provoking us. Once we've completely dealt with Cigar Country and Venezuela, deploy the remaining five carrier battle groups to the doorstep of America, patrolling day and night to exert pressure! I want to see if they dare to provoke me again, if they dare to roam the world like this. I'll make them taste what it's like to be bullied!"
