Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

"What do you think?"

The leader did not answer, but instead asked a question.

"I think it's best to keep it secret!"

Xu Ye hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Oh? Tell me!" The leader picked up his teacup.

"After all, this concerns Shadam. The Russians don't care anymore and can just throw caution to the wind."

“But we are different. It’s not advisable to offend the United States right now,” Xu Ye explained his reasoning.

The current state of US-Russia relations is not quite at the brink of war, but it's close enough.

However, the relationship between Long Mei and the others was far from reaching the point of a complete falling out.

In other words, maintaining normal relations with the United States in the long term is crucial for the development of China.

Therefore, it's best to keep things low-key, especially those that could potentially affect the relationship between the two parties.

Of course, China doesn't provoke trouble, but it's not afraid of trouble either. If it's really bullied, it won't tolerate it.

Otherwise, why would Russia spend so much money importing so many advanced weapons and equipment over so many years? Who were they meant to defend against?
It can't be countries like Annam or the Philippines, nor can it be Japan or South Korea. They don't even deserve to be mentioned!

In this way, the answer becomes obvious.

However, that's only when all other options have been exhausted. Before that, the most important thing is peaceful development, and we should avoid causing trouble if possible.

Xu Ye knew better than anyone else that once China had the corresponding strength, it would not tolerate the aggressive behavior of the United States any longer and would respond with a powerful and resolute attitude.

For now, we can only endure it.

"We have also taken this into consideration."

After Xu Ye finished speaking, the leader didn't hide anything and said with a serious expression.

The final result was similar to what Xu Ye had predicted: minimizing the impact as much as possible.

Should we keep it from the US?
This is simply impossible!

However, there are some things that can be done between countries, but cannot be done in a grand manner, let alone publicized in a high-profile way.

However, this choice actually carries a sense of helplessness.

Unfortunately, this is indeed the most suitable solution at present.

"Since you think so too, then let's do it this way!" the commander continued.

Of course, this only applies to Xu Ye; the team responsible for signing the contracts later does not need to do so.

"This shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

The leader's expression changed, and he said with a hint of sarcasm.

If Xu Ye hadn't revealed his identity every time he returned to China, the customs officials in China wouldn't have been able to discover his true identity if he wanted to.

In this respect, can China's capabilities be more advanced than those of the current European and American customs authorities?
That's impossible!
For Xu Ye, entering Da Mao without anyone noticing was no big deal at all.

"That won't be difficult!" Xu Ye chuckled.

Even if he didn't have the genuine ID documents prepared for him by the General Staff, he still had the system's online store, right?

With just a little bit of "liver points," you can get a completely convincing fake ID.

Even if it's connected to the internet, Xu Ye estimates that the exchange rate won't increase much.

It's very simple. For a system that is so far ahead of Earth, whether it's connected to the internet or not makes little difference.

"Alright, that's the mission. As for the specifics of how to proceed and when to leave, that's up to you!"

Seeing that Xu Ye had no further questions, the leader picked up his teacup again.

This time, it was truly a matter of serving tea and seeing the guest off.

"Sir, you're busy then."

Xu Ye stood up and said.

"Ok!"

The leader put down his cup, stood up, and saw the guest off. "By the way, before you leave, if you can, don't forget to visit your partner."

Just as Xu Ye had suspected, his future father-in-law and the leader did indeed know each other.

This mission will take at least one or two months, or even longer, which is a long time for a young couple.

"Understood, sir!"

Xu Ye neither agreed nor disagreed, but smiled and replied before turning and leaving the office.

"You must stay safe and sound!"

Watching Xu Ye's figure disappear, the leader said softly, then turned to go back to his desk to work.

His gaze swept over the watch box on the table, paused slightly, and he gently shook his head.

"This child is so thoughtful!"

After thinking for a moment, I took the box and casually put it in the drawer. I probably won't wear this watch unless something unexpected happens.

However, it was Xu Ye's kind gesture after all, and it wouldn't be right not to accept it.

Xu Ye naturally had no idea what the leader was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

This was just a small token of his appreciation; he had no other intentions and was absolutely clear in his conscience.

Of course, if the commander can give him tasks more often in the future, that would also be acceptable.

When Xu Ye left the General Staff Department, he casually took several newly issued license plates with him, all of them Beijing plates.

There are some things that Xu Ye doesn't even need to say; they'll take care of them for him very considerately.

How could Xu Ye not like such an attitude?

Xu Ye casually placed his things on the passenger seat and drove away in his stylish Hummer.

Ignoring his superior's advice, Xu Ye did not intend to go to see Han Ziqing before leaving.

Yes, Xu Ye still doesn't plan to tell Han Ziqing when he leaves for Damao this time.

Telling her will only increase her anxiety and won't do any good.

It's only a month or two, and we can still keep in touch during that time, so there's even less need to tell her.

Anyway, given their situation, it's perfectly normal for them to be separated by distance and not see each other for a month or two.

More than half an hour later, Xu Ye drove the car into an ordinary-looking warehouse.

There are many rural courtyards and places like this in Beijing.

Despite the large population of Beijing, the city is actually quite large. Many areas will not be effectively developed, not even now, and even in twenty years.

In the Dragon Kingdom, there is only one city without rural areas, farmers, or agriculture, and that is Pengcheng in the future! If the capital city can be developed like Pengcheng, let alone its current population of less than 15 million, it can easily multiply its population several times over.

It's very simple. The area of ​​Beijing is more than eight times that of Pengcheng. When Xu Ye transmigrated, Pengcheng's permanent population had already exceeded 20 million, while the peak population of Beijing and Pengcheng was actually similar, not by many times.

Therefore, it's impossible for Beijing to reach the level of development that Shenzhen has. Farming in Beijing is no joke.

As mentioned before, Xu Ye has many identities—but can official fabrication really be called fabrication?
That's true!
One of them had his household registration in this village.

Otherwise, Xu Ye wouldn't have come here.

That's right, this rural courtyard was bought by Xu Ye using his current identity in the village.

Currently, the myth of getting rich overnight through demolition and redevelopment has not yet spread widely in society.

Besides, in a place like this, when would it be our turn?
Who would have thought that the Fifth Ring Road wouldn't be the limit, and that a Sixth Ring Road would be built in the future!
At that time, the housing prices between the Fifth and Sixth Ring Roads will be unaffordable for ordinary people.

And this place happens to be located between the fifth and sixth ring roads.

As for whether the area will be demolished or not in the future, Xu Ye is not very clear, but he will not pay attention to it.

After all, by then, he will have already achieved financial freedom on the surface.

How much wealth is secretly controlled?
That would be an astronomical figure!

After all, no matter how arrogant Xu Ye is, he wouldn't believe he has the ability to change the course of the world.

In this way, making wealth becomes naturally easy.

Once wealth reaches a certain level, it really becomes just a number to a person, and it no longer becomes so important.

Just like when you're not full, your only worry is "hunger." But once you're able to eat your fill, your focus shifts from whether you can eat your fill to other things.

Therefore, Xu Ye really doesn't care at all whether this place will be demolished or not in the future.

Xu Ye was quite satisfied with this farmhouse. It was located on the outskirts of the village, and there were few other houses around, making it very quiet.

These things are very important to Xu Ye—if he were really in the village, he wouldn't have bought them.

The countryside is not yet hollowed out, and neither will the countryside around Beijing.

With more people involved, there will inevitably be many trivial matters.

The location is so good now; hardly anyone pays attention to it on ordinary days.

Not only is the location good, but the house is also quite large, with the house and yard covering almost an acre.

Exaggeration?
That's no exaggeration. In rural areas, there are countless homesteads even larger than this.

Shaking his head, Xu Ye banished these random thoughts from his mind.

Xu Ye couldn't think about it anymore. If he kept thinking about it, he would immediately start thinking about all those house renovation videos he had watched in his past life.

In my past life, when I finally escaped the rural village where I grew up and gained a foothold in the city, it didn't take long before I started to miss the village that I once despised and vowed to escape.

Xu Ye is not the only one like this; there are many, many people whose hometowns are in the countryside. They all share the same obsession—to build a house in their hometown themselves.

At least, Xu Ye had it in his previous life.

I didn't have this thought before because I wasn't old enough. But once I reach a certain age, this thought just keeps popping into my head.

However, most people only think about it and then don't take any further steps.

It's not that they don't want to do it, but the pressure of life is too great, and they don't have the ability to do it.

Most people with a bit of ability would be unable to resist.

Including Xu Ye from his past life!

Unfortunately, before he could develop the necessary strength, he was sent to this world by a missile.

Ironically, the missile that took down Xu Ye was valuable enough for Xu Ye to achieve some of his objectives.

Unfortunately, it can't be exchanged for cash!

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Xu Ye jumped out of the car, looked around the yard which hadn't become overgrown with weeds or desolate, nodded in satisfaction, and went over to close the gate.

The reason it looks so neat and tidy is simple: its financial power!

You don't need much; just two hundred yuan a month is enough to do this.

You only need to do a little cleaning once or twice a month, and you can easily earn 200 yuan. Not many people would be willing to do this kind of job!

In 2024, two hundred yuan was roughly the cost of one meal for an online celebrity.

However, in 2004, countless people in China couldn't even earn two hundred yuan a month!
This is not an exaggeration, it's reality!
"Hey, there's a motorcycle license plate too!"

Upon opening the bag containing the license plates, Xu Ye was slightly surprised to see a yellow license plate.

In Beijing, motorcycle license plates are not uncommon, but motorcycle license plates starting with "京A" are rare. These plates allow unrestricted travel within the Fourth Ring Road of Beijing, and during certain times, they can even be used on certain streets. They were among the first batch of motorcycle license plates issued after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and therefore have not only high collectible value but also great practical value.

However, the issuance of such licenses ceased in 1996, and they were subsequently acquired mainly through recycling, auctions, or private transactions.

In 2024, a regular Beijing A motorcycle license plate cost as much as 500,000 to 600,000 yuan, with those having better numbers costing even more. The key issue was that even with such a high price, there was no market for it, and very few people were willing to sell it.

Of course, these words don't have that much value now.

Moreover, for the General Staff, getting Xu Ye such a license would be incredibly easy.

"That's very thoughtful!"

After examining the brand that would later be the envy of countless motorcycle enthusiasts in Beijing, Xu Ye sighed softly.

This kind of thing would never be something the leader personally instructs; it's just a matter of giving a brief notice.

As for how to proceed, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should fall to Xu Ye's personal liaison, Xiao Li.

"Hmm, next time I see her, I'll bring her a small gift!"

With a thought, Xu Ye stored the motorcycle license plate in his system space and muttered something under his breath.

It's not for making money later, but because it's genuinely useful.

This time, Saddam Hussein not only sent two cars, but also a BMW motorcycle.

Although it is also a luxury motorcycle, it is somewhat inferior to Hummer and Ferrari, so Xu Ye didn't pay much attention to it. It is currently parked in Chuncheng's garage!
Xiao Li had already thought of this, so Xu Ye wouldn't be able to come empty-handed next time.

"This one will do!"

After carefully storing the motorcycle license plate, Xu Ye selected one of the two car license plates and prepared to attach it to the vehicle immediately.

This car is already a bit conspicuous, and with that special temporary license plate under the windshield, it becomes even more conspicuous. It would be better to change it to this ordinary-looking license plate.

Of course, this license plate may look ordinary, but it is specially marked within the traffic system.

In other words, as long as there is no car accident, traffic police will not catch you for common violations such as speeding and running red lights.

However, unless necessary, Xu Ye has always been steady and law-abiding in China. He would never resort to violence like opening his car box and showing his credentials to threaten someone if they didn't give way or dared to overtake him.

Besides, if you really have to show a certificate, which one should you show?

You know, the General Staff has gotten me a whole bunch of credentials just for my own convenience! (End of Chapter)
