Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"Our satellite surveillance revealed that we couldn't find what weapon shot down the little eagle with a 'double-bang'."

It's equipped with a 'universal equality' device. What does that mean? I think all of you officers understand. We must know who they are; this technology is terrifying.

"Is it an attack satellite? We've studied it too, but our research is nowhere near as good as theirs; we're far from reaching their level. Is that even possible?"

"It's possible, but not entirely. I've made a discovery: they've never intercepted ordinary firecrackers. They've been fighting at Shadama for over a month, and they've never seen one."

Furthermore, I don't believe that the "double-bang" firearms used to shoot down the little eagle were large fireworks set off by Saddam Hussein's men. He didn't have that many "double-bang" firearms, especially anti-ship "double-bang" firearms.

"We need to investigate this matter thoroughly, but we shouldn't make a big fuss about it. Offending the other party won't do us any good. Little Eagle still has many good qualities that we can learn from."

"I don't know if learning from them is right or wrong, but they definitely have problems with warfare, putting their troops right under the enemy's nose."

"Haha, let's see what happens next; maybe there'll be a major turning point."

"The Eagles have no chance of turning things around. They can defeat Saddam Hussein with airstrikes, but they can never truly eliminate him."

Without ground troops, they can't even retake Kobe. The Hawks have less than 150,000 combat-ready troops; I don't think they dare launch a ground offensive.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is also a good thing, at least a very good thing for us. Oil, gold, and natural gas all rose simultaneously at the first opportunity, which will increase our export profits."

"Sigh, it would have been better if we had come two years earlier, given our economy."

"Let's see how this war goes first."

.......

What are your thoughts on this war? Let's share our opinions; we can still improve upon any shortcomings.

"The electronic warfare and high-tech tactics of the Little Eagles rendered Saddam Hussein powerless in the early stages. If this is true, it shows that high technology is very important."

Beyond-visual-range warfare has fully emerged, including what appears to be a counterattack by Saddam Hussein, all of which rely on devastating attacks to cripple the enemy. Satellite reconnaissance information feedback is therefore of paramount importance.

"It's impossible for Saddam Hussein to retaliate. First, he wouldn't have two or three thousand firecrackers. Second, without satellite navigation, they can't shoot that accurately by feeling."

Especially when attacking the Little Hawk Navy, the retaliator's intention was very clear: multiple "double-bang" missiles broke through the defenses and sank all the target warships.

Personally, I believe we should strengthen the use of high technology, increase the success rate of anti-missile systems, and launch more reconnaissance satellites.

"The military needs to transform. The era of large-scale troop mobilization and charging is gone forever. With two or three thousand firecrackers, we can directly cripple four or five hundred thousand people."

In a war between major powers, all countries have so many missiles; without a good anti-missile system, large-scale troop operations would be at a significant disadvantage.

"High-tech military building, more precise anti-missile systems, dispersed strikes... our military development strategy still needs to change."

"I have a strange feeling that this whole thing was done by someone from Malaysia, or rather, by Comrade Ho Yu Zhu. It's a very peculiar feeling."

"You feel this way, and so do I. Tell me in what ways you feel this way."

"In three aspects, they said that the 'equality of all beings' device is rubbish. Now it seems that if it can't go to heaven or be sent out, it's even worse than rubbish. The annual maintenance cost is too high."

Secondly, they have enough firecrackers, a target of 100,000, enough for one country to confront the whole world. They also have reconnaissance satellites, quite a few of them.

Third, our Comrade He Yuzhu is a very nationalistic person and has no goodwill towards any outsiders. If their security company goes there, it's very likely...

"That's about what I thought, but I can't be that sure; after all, they're just a company."

"If they really did it, their sheer martial prowess is frightening. Luckily, we still have a very good relationship and are allies."

"We're just speculating, and it's unlikely. Let's not let this affect our relationship; let's keep things the same as before."

The contents of this meeting are top secret and must not be discussed at any time or place. The matter of Saddam Hussein is none of our concern.

"That's related. Rising oil prices do affect us, as we import oil domestically."

"The presence of bears and horses doesn't have a significant impact on us. Speaking of which, there's one more thing."

Dongda Group has never requested US dollars for its exports because we lack sufficient foreign exchange. Now, our annual foreign exchange earnings already exceed their export foreign currency earnings, so perhaps...

"Let's wait two more years. The difference in income between us and Japan is minimal. Their situation is already abnormal; if they suddenly increase imports, it will cause us trouble. Giving or not giving will both look bad."

"Then let's wait two years. Fifteen years was definitely the right time; he's a real talent!"

A huge, idiotic underground bunker!

"Who is this old man who is so fierce? He took down the little eagle and beat him half to death."

I need to regroup the army, otherwise I'll be in big trouble once Little Eagle recovers.

We miscalculated earlier; we didn't expect their tactics to leave my troops completely helpless. The main problem was communication; we were unable to counter their large-scale bombing.

With someone helping me, I can catch my breath and assign tasks. I haven't lost yet; the ground war hasn't even started. Let them see how powerful my tank force is.

The little eagle will definitely retaliate against me, which means it'll use the 'Equalizer' weapon. Using a few won't be a problem, but using too many will be a huge mess! What should I do?

While Shadama was pondering his question in his underground office, He Yuzhu's first question upon returning to Malaysia was, "Did Little Eagle use the 'Equality of All Beings' device?"

"They used it three times, at home and other military bases, and more than a hundred missiles were launched and all were shot down within three minutes."

They then tried to use transport planes to get to the front lines, but two minutes after the transport planes took off, they shot down four of them.

The satellite has a sensor system and they monitor the data. If the energy exceeds that of a typical firecracker, it will be shot down. This is our first real-world test; we previously underestimated their retaliatory capabilities.

"That's excellent. In future conventional warfare, life and death will be left to fate, and wealth and honor will be determined by heaven."

Repair the launch vehicle I brought back; I won't need to lift a finger for the next few months. They can handle it themselves.

"We believe you should strike again, completely crush the Hawks, shatter their arrogant alliance, and lay the groundwork for future cooperation."

"That works too. Once or ten times makes no difference to me. What other news is there?"

"Oil, natural gas, and gold are all rising, with oil seeing the largest increase, followed by gold, and then natural gas."

Oil has now risen to 40 US dollars per barrel, more than doubling in price; gold has risen to 72 US dollars; and natural gas has risen to 61 US dollars.

Our investment team didn't sell. They collectively determined that given such a significant event, the price would likely rise further, so they decided to wait a few more days.

"No need, ship the goods immediately. We will finish shipping all the goods we have before the market closes today. This will not disrupt the transportation lifeline and will have little impact on oil imports and exports."

We used 10x leverage and reaped huge profits. There's no need to gamble anymore; it's best to secure our gains.

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, Song Lian started calling Du Ming, instructing him to sell three types of futures contracts. He then made a second call to Zhao Youcai to sell his goods.
