When I went home for Chinese New Year, I spent a million times more money on my foreign wife.

Mo City.

The heavy-haul train rolled over the tracks and stopped at the freight station in the center of Mo City.

The container doors opened.

The Black Kite Group's mercenaries, fully armed and lined up with guns, set up a cordon.

"discharge."

"Distribute to designated outlets."

"If you encounter someone who violently robs you, eliminate them physically on the spot."

Hundreds of heavy trucks drove out of the freight station and headed to supermarkets, central squares and gas stations in various communities in Moor.

They filled the empty shelves with labels indicating normal market prices.

In Mo City, where prices have tripled, normal market prices are a lifesaver.

Tens of thousands of citizens of Mozambique flooded the streets, forming long queues in front of shops.

An old man wrapped in a tattered overcoat picked up a bag of flour.

The packaging bag features a stunning portrait of Katyusha wearing a crown in the center.

Below, a line of small Russian text was written.

Snow Palace Group to Mo City.

An old man knelt in the snow and kissed the portrait on the packaging bag.

"These are the supplies Miss Katyusha brought!"

A woman in line received a pink box.

It contained high-quality thermal underwear and baby formula.

A woman kisses a cross.

"God bless Miss Katyusha."

The crowd held up supply bags printed with Katyusha's image and chanted her name.

"Katyusha!"

"Katyusha!"

Katyusha became the savior of Mo City.

Red Palace.

Top-floor round table conference room.

The large screen displayed images of crowds on the street.

A dozen or so high-ranking officials who controlled the lifeline of Mo City sat in leather chairs, staring at the screen.

They turned to look at Ivan at the end of the round table.

Ivan was holding a coffee cup.

An energy minister with graying hair asked the question.

"Ivanovich, you son-in-law from the East have extraordinary abilities."

"In less than 24 hours, he mobilized a massive amount of supplies to stabilize prices in Mo City."

"He turned the Western alliance's economic blockade into a joke."

"Has your family's network of connections extended to this extent?"

Ivan put down his coffee cup.

He leaned back in his chair and straightened his tie.

"Chen Yang is the controller of the Snow Palace. My daughter, Katyusha, is the mistress of the Snow Palace."

"This is the source of Snow Palace's confidence, and it is also the source of Mo City's confidence."

The powerful and wealthy exchanged glances.

A general in charge of transportation spoke up.

"Old Ivan, the supply line from the Far East to Mozambique is too long. Western spies are everywhere. What if they cut off the railway?"

Ivan tapped the table lightly.

"Chen Yang's Black Kite International Defense Group has taken over the entire security. Ten thousand fully-equipped mercenaries are guarding the route. Anyone who dares to touch the railway will face a full-scale retaliation from Lei Zi's men."

The general shut his mouth.

The Energy Secretary slammed his fist on the table.

"Old Ivan, the Western financial sanctions are still in effect. We can't get our crude oil out of the country. We can't sustain the country's consumption in the long run by relying solely on supplies from the East."

Ivan sat upright, pointing to the heavy trucks on the screen that bore the Snow Palace logo.

"Chen Yang has hundreds of billions of US dollars in cash flow. He acquired the idle capacity of the Far East in full."

"This is just the first batch."

"The follow-up convoy to the Snow Palace and the icebreaker will transport all the equipment that the West wants to embargo into Mo City."

The minister stopped tapping on the table.

Ivan heard the cheers coming from the street outside.

Chen Yang's move, a move that seemed to reduce the size of the world's barriers, shattered the barriers between the West and propelled the Ivan family's prestige to its peak.

Ice City.

Snow Palace International Global Center.

Chen Yang leaned back in his swivel chair, looking at the electronic sand table on the wall.

The black, highly encrypted terminal interface of the Swiss bank lit up.

A string of characters popped up.

Ding.

The host saves millions of families in the name of love.

He thoroughly satisfied his wife's vanity and patriotism.

Reshape the order of Mo City.

Triggered by a critical hit of 10,000 times.

Award 1: Complete blueprints for global space-based satellite network technology.

Award 2: Complete set of parameters for military-grade anti-radar stealth coating technology.

Chen Yang stopped tapping his fingers on the table.

Two encrypted data packets were transmitted into Chen Yang's top-secret private server.

The office door opened.

Chen Yue walked in carrying a stack of reports, her high heels clicking on the floor.

"Brother, prices in Mo City have stabilized. The ruble exchange rate has stopped falling and rebounded."

Chen Yue placed the report on the desktop.

"We have completed the full acquisition of those heavy industrial bases in the Far East that were on the verge of bankruptcy. The equipment is undergoing a comprehensive overhaul and will be able to produce cold-weather kits soon."

Chen Yue turned to the next page.

"The people from Department Li are still waiting for you in the meeting room downstairs. They have a few technical details they'd like to ask you."

Chen Yang retrieved the second reward file from the server and saved it to a black USB drive.

"Let them come up," Chen Yang said.

Chen Yue picked up the internal phone to make a call.

Three minutes later.

Director Li led several senior experts in white coats into the office.

The senior experts are top-tier military materials science experts at Harbin Institute of Technology.

"Mr. Chen," Li greeted him.

The veteran experts looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang threw the black USB drive onto the conference table.

The USB drive slid out in a straight line and stopped next to Li Bu.

"Minister Li, the energy channel has been opened; this is my way of showing my sincerity," Chen Yang said, pointing to the USB drive.

"Inside is a radar-resistant stealth coating technology. The parameters are two generations more advanced than Lockheed Martin's top secret."

There was not a sound in the office.

An elderly expert with white hair stepped forward and picked up the USB drive.

The old expert raised his voice.

"Invisibility coating? Two generations more advanced than Lockheed Martin? Mr. Chen, where did you get that?"

"I've given you the blueprints," Chen Yang replied. "I want to see the finished product covering the escort planes transporting supplies to Mo City within half a month."

The old expert held the USB drive in both hands.

"Give me a computer with uninterrupted internet access! Quickly!" the old expert shouted to his assistant.

The assistant took out a military-grade laptop and disconnected all network connections.

The old expert inserted the USB drive.

Several strings of code and a three-dimensional molecular structure diagram unfolded on the screen.

The veteran expert stood close to the screen, his eyes glued to the code.

"The molecular arrangement! The proportions of this microwave-absorbing material!"

The elderly expert held his head in his hands.

"We've made a breakthrough!"

"The technological barrier that has plagued us for thirty years has been overcome!"

Several other experts joined in.

After reviewing the data, the experts raised their hands in celebration.

The research team was in a state of frenzy.

Li Bu stood still.

"Mr. Chen, how should the country thank you for this great gift?" Minister Li asked.

"Leave the safety of the Arctic Circle deep-sea shipping lanes to me." Chen Yang opened the drawer.

"In addition, prepare Harbin Institute of Technology to receive the second technology package."

"Anything else?" Li Bu pressed.

Chen Yang pulled up a thumbnail of the global space-based satellite network technology and projected it onto the large screen.

The satellite nodes, like stars in the sky, are connected to form a large network that envelops the entire Earth model.

"Global space-based satellite network." Chen Yang pointed to the large screen.

"If the West cuts off the financial network, I'll go to heaven and build a physical network."

Li Bu looked at the satellite model on the big screen.

"Mr. Chen, is the only function of this space-based satellite network communication?" Director Li asked.

"This system has sub-millimeter-level high-precision surface mapping capabilities and is equipped with a quantum-encrypted communication module," Chen Yang replied.

"Once the network is established, the movements of all aircraft and ships worldwide will be under the monitoring of Snow Palace."

"If Western aircraft carrier groups dare to roam the Arctic Circle, I can pinpoint their coordinates the very first second they leave port."

The veteran experts looked up from their frenzy over the invisible coating.

"Mr. Chen, how strong is the anti-interference capability of this satellite's communication?" the senior expert asked.

"Ignoring all conventional electronic interference. Even if all global fiber optic cables are cut, as long as there is a receiving terminal, Snow Palace can maintain the highest level of network connectivity anywhere in the world," Chen Yang replied.

"Minister Li, mobilize the nation's aerospace resources. I want to fill Snow Palace's low Earth orbit with satellites within three months."

Li Bu looked at the inescapable net.

He took out his secure cell phone and dialed the highest-level number.

Chen Yang took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and poured out a small half glass.

He picked up the wine glass, swirled the red wine, and tilted his head back to drink it all.
