Chapter 64: The Lantern Big Brother

  Tian Ergou, who had obtained Zhou Yuchen's understanding, was relaxed all over and looked at Zhou Yuchen with eager eyes: "Principal, now that our troops are in position, I wonder when we can take action!"

  It's almost here, I think it'll be in these two days. Second dog, I have something to discuss with you, what do you think? Zhou Yu said while touching his nose, someone is up to some trickery again!

  Oh! Principal, whatever you instruct, I'll resolutely obey your orders! Tian Ergou patted his chest to guarantee it to Zhou Yu. He didn't even consider who he was making the promise to, and even more so ignored Zhou Yu's habitual action!

  Fine, this is what you said, if you regret it now, I'll have you court-martialed! At this point, Zhou Yu finally revealed a face full of sinister and evil intentions.

  Tian Ergou was so frightened that he was trembling all over and had a cold sweat, thinking to himself "I'm done for, I've become the principal's scapegoat." He hastily made amends, saying: "Principal, can you please give me a hint first? That way I'll have an idea of what's going on in my heart. You know that Ergou's abilities are limited, and I don't want to mess up your important matters!"

  It's not a big deal, I just think you're usually idle and bored, so I'm helping you find something to do. Mei'er's maid, Zhu'er, she seems like a good person, with both inner qualities and looks, and she's still single, so I've decided to give you a chance to be a hero and pursue her. You promised me you'd definitely complete the task! Zhou Yu rubbed his nose with a sly smile, looking like a big bad wolf eyeing Little Red Riding Hood.

  Principal, you see I won't be able to speak, are you considering changing tasks? Tian Ergou, who had made a big fuss, asked Zhou Yu in a low voice.

  No way... You've already agreed, so you must do it well. Otherwise, I'll punish you to follow Zhen'er every day to learn needlework, hehe... Did you hear me clearly?

  Facing Zhou Yu's treachery, Tian Ergou was directly speechless after being deceived.

  It's not like I'm asking you to risk life and limb, so why the long face? You'll definitely get the beauty back, didn't you hear?!

  Alright! I...I guarantee to complete the task! Tian Ergou, who had resigned himself to his fate, replied with some difficulty to Zhou Yudao.

  Hmm! That's about right, let's just leave it at that! You go and call over Wong Fei-hung, Yeung Kwan, Lau Sing-leung and Yung Wing-yee, I have a task to assign to you all!

  Ah! Upon hearing that there was a mission, Tian Ergou immediately shed his earlier languid demeanor and regained his vigorous military bearing, excitedly hurrying off with quick strides.

  Before long, Huang Feihong and others arrived at Zhou Yu's home, and Zhou Yu arranged for them to sit down.

  "How was your intense training? As soon as everyone settled down, Zhou Yu immediately asked Yang Ze En."

  Report to the principal, we have fully adapted to the strong rhythm of the crossing, and everyone's enthusiasm is extremely high! Yang Zheen stood up and respectfully answered Zhou Yu's question.

  Zhou Yu pressed his hand and said: We are all our own people, so let's not play this set in the future!

  Wong Fei-hung and others nodded, indicating they already knew.

  Seung-nyang, how is your special forces team doing?

  Don't worry, Principal, everything is going according to plan, nothing unexpected will happen! Liu Chengliang replied seriously to Zhou Yu.

  Fei Hong, how about you?

  Hehe! Our intelligence department and the White Tiger Squad have all infiltrated Nhatrang, but there's something that needs to be reported to you, Principal. There's an Arab man named Ladeng in the White Tiger Squad who is quite interesting.

  According to reports from the Haiphong side, La Deng led a group of around 20 Arab soldiers and broke into the French military base in Haiphong, demanding to see Commander Rahil De. Later, it is unclear how they managed to do so, but these people actually became Rahil De's trusted guards and were assigned to supervise the Haiphong dock specifically.

  In this way, when we attacked Gangkou Port, they can play a very important role. I was surprised, how did they do it?

  Zhou Yu smiled strangely and said: I can tell you now, actually Rashid is my man, he was the dynamic expert I contacted in Europe. When we fought against the French army, everything went smoothly, mainly because he provided us with all the military intelligence of the French army, which was also passed on by your Intelligence Department. Can't you guess?

  Good grief! I knew it! A low-ranking French military officer wouldn't possibly know such classified information about the French army. I thought you had another intelligence station outside of our military's, Principal! It turns out there is indeed a big shot like that! No wonder! Huang Feihong exclaimed in amazement.

  Haha! As for that guy, his nickname is "Ladeng Daige" (Big Brother Ladeng). He's a secret agent I've been cultivating, an Arab assassin. He's a standard Muslim believer, an Islamic extremist with fanatical religious beliefs. He's also a Muslim idealist who's willing to contribute his life and money to "**".

  He is hostile to all Western white people. Don't look at his young age, he is the spiritual leader of the Arab world and has a strong appeal. He created an organization called Qaida for holy war defense.

  Kai Da is a very loose liaison network organization, so I let Fei Hong's intelligence department recruit them over and provide unified personnel training and various support for them, including some financial weapons and whatnot!

  I gave them a special training, that is 'to fight for the only true God'! I gave them a thorough religious brainwashing.

  Lara Lamp's brother was also very impressed with my invention of the bomber man, and on this basis, he even created car bombs, high-altitude balloon bombs, etc., an irreplaceable genius-level terrorist attack figure.

  As for him contacting Rashid, that was my idea. Since they are of Arab descent and also hold Western nationality, under the premise of getting their help, our Plan A can be more perfectly realized.

  Because the French are more wary of yellow races, but not very attentive to whites, I arranged for Ladon to go to Haiphong first, and Ladon also has French nationality, he can pretend to be a follower of Rashid, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.

  They have over 2,000 elite personnel worldwide, and all the core members must undergo training at our military base in Kirkuk, Iraq. There are countless peripheral personnel, and even Big Brother La might not know exactly how many there are!

  Of course, inside Kirtuk Military Base, there are not only them, but also many other nationalities and ethnic groups. I won't mention those people here!

  Now let me talk about the specific situation of the A plan and B plan I formulated.

  This time, for the raid operation against the French military in Haiphong, the first plan to be implemented is Plan A. It mainly uses warships to tow non-motorized troop ships to a place not far from the French military base, and then have the non-motorized troop ships quietly transport troops ashore.

  Tian Ergou's ghost fleet is mainly responsible for transporting a batch of special warfare personnel and the subsequent patrol mission in the nearby sea area. It is necessary to maintain the continuity and effectiveness of the plan, so Tian Ergou's fleet must use all its load capacity to load special warfare personnel and inflatable assault boats, and unload everything else. Generally speaking, your task is still quite heavy!

  Liu Chengliang, your special warfare team, after arriving at the dock, will contact with the advance intelligence personnel, and then quickly take control of all facilities in the entire dock area. You are also responsible for the early warning mission on the shore. In case of any unexpected situation, you must handle it promptly and strive to create favorable conditions for the follow-up support troops.

  The greatest characteristic of Plan A is its suddenness, aiming to take down Haiphong without bloodshed.

  When Plan A fails, we have no choice but to use Plan B.

  Plan B is a rough and violent strategy, it's an auxiliary plan that will be used when Plan A fails, in short, the goal is to take down the French military base at Haiphong with minimal cost.

  Our current strength is still very weak, and we can only grow stronger by absorbing the power of other countries. Only in this way can we achieve rapid and healthy development. Therefore, I require you to guarantee that, without harming the vitality of the Zhongyong Army, you capture the French military's warships and weapons intact.

  It is strictly forbidden for you to continue hunting after the French army surrenders. Although they are unapologetic invaders of our China, we are not yet strong enough to engage in a real battle with Western imperialism!

  Once the Western imperialist nations are driven to desperation and unite to deal with us, it will be a disaster for our loyal and brave army!

  Do you understand what I mean? Zhou Yu changed his tone from earlier and seriously looked at everyone, asking.

  Don't worry, Principal. We have always remembered your guiding ideology, which is to strengthen our own strength by weakening the enemy! Everyone responded in unison to Zhou Yu.

  Zhou Yu smiled with a sense of relief: "Now I can rest assured, because with Rashid's eyes on us, our battles against France have always been easy, but that doesn't mean we're invincible. There are still many existences in the world that we can't provoke for the time being."

  For example, the UK is a superpower that we can't afford to mess with for now. Our current army can face all military powers in the world, but our navy is still very weak. A century-old navy isn't just talk!

  It takes the accumulation and precipitation of several generations to truly mature, and the British Navy's claim to be the world's first is not just bragging. Even if we were to destroy their entire navy now, they would still be able to develop it in a very short period of time, and it would become even stronger.

  So my strategy is to use the method of boiling a frog in warm water, slowly grinding it down and reducing it until our navy far surpasses all the world's naval powers.

  Mr. Hong, you should also get involved in the specific affairs of the Zhongyong Army as soon as possible. I believe that it's not far from now for our Huaxia to rise and take off. Only if you can integrate into it as soon as possible, can I speed up our progress with ease.
