Chapter 53 For the Honor of Our Ancestors

  I'm working so hard to write and update, it's such a struggle. Can't you guys just show some support in return? Collecting my work won't take up much space, will it? And as for the recommendation tickets, they're not going to fall from the sky either. How about showing some brotherly love and taking a look at this awesome novel?

  "Wow wow wow!!!” The crowd couldn't help but applaud, this long-term plan is more practical than those empty words, each stage is visible, tangible and easy to achieve. Chen Xiaoqi had promised them, now it's being implemented step by step, every change is achieved through their own participation, which is more convincing than anything else.

  In the end, He Bao Wen couldn't help but ask: "Boss, they all have work to do, what about us? How come we don't have anything to do? You can't be so biased!"

  Chen Xiaoqi smiled and said, "How can there not be? The work of your department is not easy at all! Didn't I just say that while planning the industrial zone, we will also establish a new security force on the surface, this force will exist in the name of 'Shangtuan', and the main body will be your department. In the future, your work will shift towards the direction of field army, you still have a long way to go, why are you anxious now?"

  He Bao Wen chuckled and said, "That's settled then. We can't just sit around doing nothing! It's too awkward to even step out the door here, we have to be so careful all the time. Let's go back and get some exercise."

  Chen Xiaoqi laughed and said, "There must be a place for your activities! Shandong is not rich in anything else, but bandits are abundant, and there will definitely be many more to come and peck at this fat meat of ours. You have to mentally prepare yourself for a tough battle!"

  Huang Zhen Shan called out to Qu Dao: "Boss, you're being too biased! It seems like we're the ones who have to become bandits, while Bao Wen and the others get to be the ones to suppress the bandits? What's going on here?"

  Chen Xiaoqi laughed and said: "This is a good opportunity for you to test each other's military training results. Whoever wins, I'll reward them. If they lose, they can deal with it themselves!"

  He Bao Wen's face turned red with rage, and he said: "Boss, isn't this unfair? They have special forces backing them up! The people under my command are no match for them!"

  "Are you stupid? You know the whole set of training methods, can't you just go and recruit soldiers to train on your own? Why do you have to fight with those bandits? Don't forget, you're going to be a regular government army, they're just bandits, they can't see the light of day. Who knows who'll end up losing in the end?"

  "Alright, you've got some guts! Good, I'll give you credit for that. Before we go, it seems like there's still some time left? How about the internal security of your 'Qilin Department'? Should I arrange for someone to test it out? If you can't even handle us, how will you ensure the boss's safety in the future?"

  The "Qilin Department" can be said to be Chen Xiaoqi's guard team. The selection and training of these people are similar to those of special forces, but their main job is to protect important figures. Chen Xiaoqi doesn't know much about this aspect, so he teaches them the things that super bodyguards pay attention to in movies and TV shows, and organizes internal CQB combat training. Of course, it's all just surface-level stuff, and the real training comes from their repeated drills of attack and defense.

  The "White Tiger Department" special forces play the role of strong attackers, raiders, and assassins, forcing the "Qilin Department" to think of every way to stop them from harming the protected targets. The "Zhuque Department" also participates at the right time, carrying out infiltration, assassination, and poisoning work, summarizing various protection and destruction techniques in the conflict.

  Chen Xiaoqi and each laboratory, as well as important target figures, are all training targets for them.

  Chen Xiaoqi also gradually experienced the helplessness and difficulty of being an important figure at this stage. If it really came to the point where all the big shots in the country wanted to put him to death, then life would be really tough! No wonder those presidents always have several routes arranged temporarily when they go out. It turns out that this is necessary! Fortunately, I've watched enough Hollywood blockbusters to find material, is it true? I guess it's probably okay? At least the Americans have professional screenwriters as consultants for these things, unlike some people who make crappy TV dramas, where a T98 main battle tank can be blocked by two old 59-style tanks and can't move! Those cannon fodders that can penetrate two tanks with one shot are actually rampant, and what's even more ridiculous is that the tank troops were finally defeated by cavalry wielding swords on horseback... it's really speechless!

  Huang Zhen Shan's threat instantly left Zhou Yun Peng speechless. Although this young man was the youngest, he was the core of the entire "Qilin" team, with a quick mind, many cunning ideas, fast reaction speed, and surprisingly mature beyond his years. Despite his innocent and harmless appearance, he was actually very cunning, otherwise why would he have been driven out by his family at such a young age, and yet they were so willing to let him go?

  But he really didn't dare to take the bait, you know these old foxes' tricks are not something that this young and inexperienced kid can handle. Every time he gets caught off guard, flustered and embarrassed. If Chen Xiaoqi wasn't also a skilled expert as his protector, he would have been killed many times over. Especially when they started using their secretly developed long-range large-caliber sniper rifles, the protection work became even more difficult. And later on, with all sorts of electronic remote-controlled bombs, timed bombs, plastic bombs, emulsified explosives and so on, even guided missiles, it was really impossible to defend against. A single remote-control toy plane could complete an assassination mission, so their road is still long ahead.

  The future war scenes depicted by Chen Xiaoqi opened the eyes of these people, greatly expanding everyone's imagination, including Dai Chunfeng's intelligence department. The classic cases presented in the future media, those stunning tactics, and those unstoppable tricks made Dai Chunfeng, who had left halfway, relish endlessly. He was filled with a desire to explore and tirelessly studied various methods, then gave them to his boss for verification. As a result, his all-powerful boss seemed to always give him some new enlightenment, making him even more reverent of his boss's mysterious depth, not daring to have any other thoughts in his heart.

  Finally, Dai Chunfeng calmly asked Chen Xiaoqi: "Boss, if most people withdraw their hands back to the country, our defensive strength here will be greatly weakened. Recently, more and more people have come to inquire about the situation, and several countries in the world have sent multiple batches of people. We've caught so many that we can't even hold them all. Moreover, due to the large increase in traffic in and out, once a large number of troops are withdrawn, I'm worried that the loopholes will become bigger and bigger, and the pressure on the confidentiality department is huge."

  Chen Xiaoqi said, "I've thought about this problem, and it's also something that can't be helped. Who made us so high-profile now? A big tree attracts wind, and this is inevitable. In this way, the defense of departments that are not too sensitive will gradually weaken, and we'll let the Americans probe a bit to ease their minds. Except for the four major departments of submarines, weapons, electronics, and chemicals, other internal news can be gradually revealed. Note! The degree must be controlled by us. If we can use some unimportant intelligence to make them fight each other, that would be even more ideal. We're always wrapped up so tightly, afraid that the US government can't hold back!"

  This small meeting ended in triumph with a high morale, everyone had a clear next step goal, and they were fully engaged in the new preparation work.

  Chen Xiaoqi is still one of the busiest people, and now he has even more things to do. In addition to arranging for his hometown to purchase a large amount of land, preparing for surveying and planning and land census work, he must also conduct extensive research on the industrial system and rural situation in his hometown. Because he understands that in order to succeed in doing big things in China in the future, one cannot avoid the issue of farmers. Whoever can solve the survival problem of farmers will gain the largest space for maneuvering and human resources, and whoever will ultimately win.

  Chen Xiaoqi didn't know what he could achieve, nor was he certain if he could become the person he idealized. He only knew that by participating in this grand game, everything had already changed. He no longer wanted to see those numb and apathetic eyes, nor did he want to hear those absurd and ridiculous remarks. He couldn't bear the thought of an entire nation forgetting its own culture, even after decades of economic development, yet still standing awkwardly between two worlds, pleasing neither side. Those on the fringes, eager to curry favor with Westerners, discovered that they wouldn't even be granted a warm turd, and had completely forgotten how to understand their own national culture, mechanically following those with ulterior motives as they shouted wildly, like stray dogs in the cold wind, barking futilely.

  Originally, Chen Xiaoqi was not sure if he wanted to do these things, but when he saw those people's ugly faces in the newspaper in Qingdao, shamelessly calling themselves pioneers and sages, he became furious. It was this group of people who led the entire country and nation into a desperate situation at this critical juncture, repeatedly destroying, corrupting, and harming the already dying Chinese civilization, so that in the early 21st century, young people who had opened their eyes suddenly discovered that what the world needed most was not Western culture, which their predecessors had followed and pursued for decades but still hadn't obtained. They realized that what others admired was still the magnificent Han and Tang dynasties, what they worshipped was the invincible Qin iron cavalry, what they delighted in talking about was the brilliant Song dynasty literature, what they respected was Zheng He, the great navigator who sailed across the seven seas! And the Ming dynasty, which exhausted national resources but refused to compromise with its mortal enemies!

  In the end, they found that no matter how hard they tried, they could not become Westerners because the genes of the Huaxia people were in their bones. Their cultural ideas had already been ingrained in their blood, but they didn't know whether to dig them up or how to use them. Those slogans shouting for the revival of Huaxia echoed loudly, but none of it was put into practice. This is because they did not understand that a nation's culture first and foremost lies in its own etiquette and attire, followed by its literature and art, including music and fine arts. China had never lacked these things, yet after decades, they hastily abandoned them. They thought themselves to be superior, but they couldn't even compare to the half-baked Japanese!

  Those days, Chen Xiaoqi had seen too much, his anger was almost gone, the Koreans knew how to take those precious things for themselves, but these people were like bystanders, mocking and ridiculing, except for their inaction, it was as if the things they snatched weren't theirs at all, or they never considered this land their home, they were like born-to-be arrogant gods' servants, looking down on everything with a self-righteous attitude, doing nothing.

  So when he suddenly thought that he might have the ability to change all this, he was like a tightly wound spring spinning wildly, and all these efforts were worth it. No matter what you do, you must control the right to speak. This has been proven countless times in the 21st century. So how can one grasp this right? He must become an important person of this era, a person with weight, a person with strength, a person who has the final say.

  So, Chen Xiaqi almost did all this without any plan, not to overthrow that regime or whatever ideology, but just to give these hundreds of millions of ordinary people an opportunity to speak for themselves, to decide their own destiny, to choose their own thoughts, rather than being like a flock of sheep without a goal, being driven from east to west and then from west to east, with countless falling into traps, falling into the abyss, dying in the jaws of wolves, losing their lives in a helpless, innocent, and numb state.

  Now, everything is about to begin, how can Chen Xiaoqi not be excited? He works crazily, creating one invention after another that doesn't belong in this era, guiding a large group of scientific researchers to bring out many forward-thinking things. Given time, it's possible to change the course of human society; he can't control that much anymore.
