Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"The August 84th military parade can never be surpassed!"

The main focus is on the public's evaluation of its unique combat prowess and special historical significance, rather than on the scale of equipment or its level of modernization. Subsequent parades have already surpassed it in terms of hardware.

As He Yuzhu, accompanied by Zhou Songyu and several other women, stood on the reviewing stand and watched the military parade pass by, a comment from later generations came to mind!

Many of the officers and soldiers participating in the parade had just experienced combat in the Sino-Vietnamese War and the Korean War, and their eyes carried a "fierce" aura honed by battlefield experience—a quality rarely seen in peacetime parades.

The indomitable spirit and unwavering belief in victory displayed by the team are regarded as the pinnacle of the military spirit of that era.

This is an incredibly powerful army, with an overwhelming killing intent and unwavering determination in their eyes, possessing a resolve to crush everything, which shocks everyone!

He Yuzhu clearly felt Zhou Songyu's body tremble; it was the first time she had ever seen a soldier like this!

I gently squeezed her left hand, said nothing, and sensed that she had returned to normal.

The infantry formation showcased a highly difficult "raise-turn-stab" maneuver, which was visually striking. This maneuver was not used in subsequent parades and became a unique memory.

He Yuzhu felt it was a pity about this. As long as nothing bad happened, it had nothing to do with other people. Soldiers should have a fierce spirit, not a sissy.

After the infantry formations passed by, the equipment formations followed. Because He Yuzhu had been supplying military technology since the 1950s, he was very skilled in military equipment, definitely among the world's top tier.

The strategic missile force made its first public appearance, showcasing the Dongfeng series missiles, signifying my country's possession of a nuclear counterattack capability and greatly enhancing its international standing.

Moreover, its maximum range reaches 14000 kilometers, truly enabling it to deliver 'Dongfeng Express, mission accomplished' globally!

Domestically produced and new equipment were showcased: all 37 types of weapons and equipment on display were domestically produced, with 28 of them being new equipment making their debut, essentially achieving mechanization, electrification, and automation.

This surprised all the foreigners who came to watch the ceremony. They never expected that we could produce so many new weapons at once.

From tanks and artillery to airplanes and missiles, if they don't falsify weapon parameters, their weapons are among the best in the world.

Many of them are unique and world-leading, which has shocked many people.

From watching the spectacle with a critical eye, we now need to report this matter; their pace of development is too fast!

Moreover, it's a comprehensive upgrade from individual soldiers to heavy weapons, not just one type; it represents a complete upgrade of the entire military force.

It has escalated to the point where it has become frightening, and this dragon needs to be re-evaluated.

He Yuzhu felt it was a pity that they had attacked the monkeys too harshly and were already planning to withdraw. The monkeys were not strong enough and their weapons and equipment were far inferior.

They were being beaten like children, bullied. There weren't many troops left on the front lines, and the rotation of troops had only lasted five years.

Because He Yuzhu, with the support of Malays, ravaged their north, leaving it in a terrible state, with at least twice as many landmines planted as in their previous life.

The monkeys have plenty to do in the north.

After the military parade, He Yuzhu took everyone to Donglaishun for hot pot, which was He Yushui's request again.

Because the food tasted good, all the adults tried it, and no one refused the suggestion, so they all walked together.

Nearly twenty members of the port city delegation also went to eat hot pot with them.

Old Master Ying was overjoyed. "Mr. He," he said, "we are strong now, and we are no longer afraid of other powers."

"I sat up in shock in my deathbed, realizing that the great powers were none other than myself! Excellent, hasn't this always been our wish?"

"What He Sheng said is quite right, but it's not right for us to be foreign powers and bully ordinary people at will."

"We will inevitably become a great power; 'the dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself'! This is something we cannot control; whether we like it or not, it will happen. Otherwise, we would be the first to die."

"I think Mr. He makes a lot of sense. There are many things that happen in business, and some things don't go as we wish, especially after we have a certain amount of assets."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we are strong, it's better to bully others than to be bullied. The more than 100-year history of blood and tears is finally over."

"The stock market is still unstable, and everyone is watching the final outcome. We don't know when they'll reach an agreement and put everyone at ease."

"Mr. He, if someone dares to spread rumors, will you handle it the same way as last time? Some people think you're too cruel."

"What do they know? The chaos there caused my company to lose 15% of its profits due to the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate. Are they going to make up for that? Ignorant fools!"

Why pretend to be a saint?

These people can't afford to pay compensation, so what's wrong with sending them to their deaths? Should we burden our company's employees with that responsibility?

They've already found a way to die!

"There are quite a few people in Hong Kong who are afraid of you, including the Big Circle Gang who came from here. That group is still very ruthless, but I have no intention of dealing with them."

"They didn't try to take advantage of me, so what do I care about other people's banks and jewelry stores!"

"Haha, I knew you had this kind of thinking. But when I think about it carefully, they really aren't that important; they just occasionally affect public order."

I heard you're here to help build and expand four ports. What are their terms and conditions?

"14 billion, 40% stake!"

"Another mega-project; not many people can easily come up with 14 billion in cash!"

"Our company has always maintained a stable cash flow. Your company will also need to have a stable cash flow as it grows, especially after your company goes public."

"We can't do that right now. We prioritize investing our funds in fixed assets; coming up with 5 billion is practically impossible!"

"We don't need cash flow right now, especially here, where no financial conglomerates are blocking us. We still need to save some cash in Hong Kong."

"It's too early to develop real estate projects here. I don't know when they will make a formal decision?"

"No rush. Their income isn't high, they haven't changed their rural household registration to urban status yet, and the city hasn't expanded. Let's wait a few more years; it'll be soon."

"We have no choice but to wait. Let's go have some hot pot first; it's pretty good."

"Zhu Zi, this military parade was quite intimidating. It's the first time I've seen an army like this, and I'm a little scared," Zhou Songyu said softly.

"It's alright. You're a woman who's never been on the battlefield, so it's normal to feel a bit out of sorts. Many of you are soldiers who came from the front lines; you've all seen blood."

"Will Mingyi also go to the front lines? They've been fighting for five years now, why aren't they done yet?"

"It's not that the war isn't over. The first one was actually over. Now they're training the army. They haven't fought a war in twenty years and need to familiarize themselves with the battlefield."

Opportunities to gain practical experience are rare.

Mingyi probably won't go. The war will likely end completely by the end of the year, and continuing would be less effective for training troops.

"Is it better not to go to war?"

"What soldier doesn't fight? You might think it's good, but Mingyi might like fighting every day. Men and women are different, and soldiers are different from ordinary people."

"Sigh, I can't persuade him."

"Brother, when are you going back? Are you staying here for a few days?" He Yushui asked.

"We're heading back right away. We've been away for over half a month, and I have some things to take care of in the port city. You guys stay here and have some fun for a few days."

"We rarely come back, so let's stay for a few days before going back. Consider it a vacation. Why don't you two enjoy yourselves for a few days?" He Yushui asked Zhou Songyu and the other person.

"I'll stay for a few days to visit Mingyi at the Shijiazhuang Army School; I'm not in a hurry to go back."

"I'll stay for a few days too."
