Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

The leader was a colonel, the same one who smashed the binoculars in the command post yesterday.

At this moment, his face was ashen, and he didn't say a word. He circled the tank several times, touching it here and looking at it there.

"This is...59?" He hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter a broken Chinese sentence.

"Type 59D," Battalion Commander Leng said slowly, a cigarette dangling from his lips, "an improved version of the Type 59."

"An improved version..." the colonel muttered to himself, then turned to the gun barrel, staring at it for a long time, "105 mm?"

"Yes, a 105mm rifled gun."

The colonel's face turned even paler. He knew, of course, what this meant.

The T-62's frontal armor is over 240 millimeters thick, theoretically impenetrable by a 105mm cannon.

But the tank in front of him had indeed pierced through his T-62 with a single shot.

"How...how did you do that?" he asked.

Battalion Commander Leng smiled and said, "I can't tell you that. You just need to know one thing."

"What is it?"

Battalion Commander Leng tossed his cigarette butt to the ground, stomped it out, looked up, stared into the colonel's eyes, and said, word by word, "From today onwards, your tanks had better not come near this river. One comes, we'll shoot one. Ten come, we'll shoot ten..."

He paused, then looked back at the row of 59D behind him.

"We'll see this through to the end."

The Russian colonel opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

He could only turn around and leave with his few followers, looking rather dejected.

The soldiers stood on the riverbank, watching those figures disappear on the other side, and suddenly burst into cheers.

"Well said!"

"Let's see if they dare to come again!"

Battalion Commander Leng waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

He lit another cigarette, squinted, looked across the river, and exhaled a puff of smoke. "That's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow. Let them think carefully about whether they want to fight this war or not."

If it were the Dragon Kingdom of the past, even if they had repelled the other party, they would not have allowed such spying.

However, given the current strength of China's northern border, it would be a good thing to flex its muscles a bit towards the Russians.

Ideally, the other side should be made to back down, since there will always be casualties in war.

Subduing the enemy without fighting is the optimal solution.

By the time the news reached Beiping, it was already the next day.

After the support troops left Beiping, Zhou Feng returned to the compound, having received the news from the Special Operations Division.

The visitor, his face beaming with excitement, gave Zhou Feng a detailed account of the battle, especially the performance of the bombers and the Type 95D destroyers.

Not only the border guards, but also the command headquarters and even the leaders in Beiping were excited after learning about the casualties caused by these weapons.

how many years?

This is the first time that China has gained a weapon advantage when facing an external enemy, without having to rely on human lives and willpower to fight back.

If you can win a battle by using external aids, who would want their soldiers to suffer casualties?

"We managed to take down so many of their T-62s with zero casualties? That's great, at least our efforts weren't in vain."

Zhou Feng's smile never faded.

It's important to know that in the original timeline, although the battle of Yuanbao Island was won, the Dragon Kingdom also suffered more than 70 casualties.

They even paid a considerable price for that T-62 whose tracks were blown off by a landmine.

Now that China has the Type 59D, the development of tank technology in the world of courtyard houses naturally does not need to refer to the tanks of the Russians.

The casualties were kept to single digits, which can be considered a great victory!

"Comrade Zhou Feng, although the soldiers on the frontier are unaware of your existence, they have sent a letter of thanks to Beiping. The benefits these advanced weapons have brought us are immeasurable, and I would like to express my gratitude to you on their behalf!"

Seeing that the man was about to bow, Zhou Feng quickly reached out and lifted his shoulder: "No need to thank me, we're all on the same side. Let them use it with confidence. There will be even better equipment in the future."

Although Zhou Ming did not express any opinion, the two worlds' dragon kingdoms were still in a honeymoon period, constantly exchanging various resources.

He said that there would be better equipment in the future, and this wasn't just empty talk.

The battles of the past two days were not only local victories, but also a complete reversal of the strategic situation in the north.

The Russians aren't stupid; they naturally understand what it means for China to possess weaponry that surpasses their own.

Their tank advantage is gone, their technological advantage is gone, and their threat in this direction is negligible.

Even if they resort to their table-flipping abilities, the Dragon Kingdom still has its own trump card.

They are the ones who will be put on the defensive next.

Tanks and artillery are definitely not enough to win. Are we supposed to use fighter jets instead?

But who knows if the Dragon Kingdom might also have more advanced fighter jets?

The one at the very top has already executed quite a few spies.

None of the intelligence brought back from the Dragon Kingdom was accurate or valuable!

The fact that the Russian leadership was completely unaware of such a major event as the weapons upgrades next door was something that made them wary.

With the border matter finally settled, Zhou Feng returned to the modern world and reported to Boss Lin Su in person, finally gaining a few days of relaxation.

During the time he was dealing with the Siheyuan world, both sets of parents returned to their hometowns.

Although Zhou Feng took some time to drive Old Zhou and Ms. Li home, he was still given a lot of complaints by them.

In the latter's words: "Seeing how busy you are, anyone who didn't know better would think you were commanding the Russians in the north!"

Coincidentally, in the modern world, the Russians are currently engaged in a heated fight with their neighbor.

But Ms. Li was only half right; the Russians were indeed on one side of the conflict.

Faced with the complaints from his family, Zhou Feng just smiled.

His parents might criticize him, but seeing how busy he is, they actually feel sorry for him.

However, there was one thing Ms. Li repeatedly emphasized before leaving: she must maintain a good relationship with Tao Muyao.

So, finally having some free time, he sent Tao Muyao a message: [Do you have time? Want to have dinner together?]

Unexpectedly, Tao Muyao replied instantly!

[Okay, but not at your place, the pressure there is too great!]

Earlier, she had gotten into the car with Zhou Feng's parents in a daze and arrived at Zhou Feng's place.

Although I was panicking inside, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and bear it since I was already here.

Now that I have a choice, I absolutely, definitely, and certainly don't want to go to Fuxing Road!

[Okay, I'll find you a place and then come pick you up.]

Zhou Feng made a reservation at a private restaurant, and then took Lao Zhang and Lao Li out.

The girl didn't stand on ceremony. When it was almost time, they met downstairs and got into the car.

Although Zhou Feng only said that he was in the trade business, he was also a bodyguard and lived in a secret compound. Even if Tao Muyao didn't know the specifics of his job, she knew that he must be very wealthy.

So I didn't argue with him much about money, since Lao Tao left his daughter a lot of money when he passed away.

Since both families want to form a marriage alliance, neither should take advantage of the other.

Since the Tao family doesn't have such strong connections, they'll have to spend more money.

In fact, a former richest man once said that he was not interested in money; to him, money was just a number.

Now Zhou Feng can say the same thing.

Money is really just a number to him. If the wealth he controls could be made public, although it still wouldn't be as much as the former richest man who said that he still has 1700 billion in assets, it would be about the same.

After all, the daily resource conversion throughput between the two worlds of the Dragon Kingdom is an astronomical figure.

Upon arriving at the private restaurant, Zhou Feng immediately mentioned Zhou Ming's name.

In Beiping, whether it's a private restaurant or a club, as long as reservations are required, just contact Zhou Ming and he can usually arrange it.

Even this small matter doesn't demonstrate the power of his status as a top-tier second-generation Red.

After all, being able to meet Lin Su in person and join such an important action group already signifies his status.

"Shall we go out and have fun together tomorrow?"

While eating, Zhou Feng casually asked a question.

"You're not busy anymore? That's perfect, there's a music festival tomorrow. Let me see, a couple's ticket is exactly 899, is that okay?"

As soon as Tao Muyao finished speaking, Zhou Feng paused, his chopsticks holding the food in his hand.

Logically speaking, although they haven't met many times, they chat on WeChat regularly, and both sets of parents have already met.

Their progress is even faster than that of ordinary couples.

However, Zhou Feng never gave her a specific answer, and now the girl didn't want to wait any longer, so she gave him a direct answer.

Tao Muyao looked up and stared at him intently, clearly waiting for his answer.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Feng nodded seriously: "Okay, send me the link, I'll buy it."

"good!"

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

The next day, Zhou Feng arrived at Tao Muyao's building early in the morning. The two had lunch together, went shopping, watched a movie, and then headed to the music festival.

The two people who suffered the most during this half day were Lao Zhang and Lao Li, who had been following behind them the whole time!

When other young couples go out for lunch, shopping, or to the movies, they have to follow behind and do the same thing.

While the other two were sweetly showing off their love, each of them only had a middle-man standing by their side.

Who would want to watch a movie, especially a romantic one, with a middle-aged male colleague?

But since Zhou Feng took Tao Muyao inside, they couldn't stay outside and wait.

What's even more terrifying is the upcoming music festival!

With thousands of people crammed together, the two of them racked their brains to ensure Zhou Feng's safety!

If they were abroad, even in Hong Kong, neither of them would have agreed to Zhou Feng coming to such a chaotic place.

But in Beiping, they were still very confident.

After all, the chances of finding firearms here are almost zero. The only thing to be careful about is not letting anyone else clash with Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng, however, seemed to be having a lot of fun.

He was originally someone who could be both a homebody and a playful person, but after spending too much time in the world of courtyard houses, he was also influenced by the people he met there, and he became much more mature and stable.

Now, coming to this music festival with Tao Muyao and moving his body to the crazy rhythm has actually helped him recover his mindset.

As darkness fell, the music festival came to an end, and Zhou Feng led Tao Muyao out with the flow of people.

Anyone who tries to get close to them will be subtly pushed aside by Lao Zhang and Lao Li.

However, given the crowded conditions, it was quite obvious that Zhou Feng and Tao Muyao still had a small space separated by Lao Zhang and Lao Li.

"Holy crap! Bringing bodyguards to a music festival? That's awesome!"

"Should we take a picture and post it online?"

"Are you crazy? These accounts are all registered with real names. Do you think you can mess with them? Stop causing trouble!"

...

Quite a few people wanted to take photos with their phones, but most were dissuaded by those around them.

In reality, even if they filmed it and posted it online, it would be blocked instantly.

Don't underestimate modern technology. Whether it's tracing the source or blocking information, it's beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Just like the thousands of people walking outside right now, they have no idea that tonight, more than a dozen of their Douyin and Kuaishou accounts will be completely banned.

As they exited the park, Tao Muyao's excitement hadn't faded. The two held hands and swayed casually.

"Mu Yao!"

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Tao Muyao, who was blinking her big eyes at him, Zhou Feng silently swallowed.

"Um...would you like to be my girlfriend?"

The fact that the girl booked a couple's ticket for this date is a clear indication of her being direct.

Since Tao Muyao took the first step, Zhou Feng, as a man, naturally had to give her a firm and positive response.

"Are you an idiot?!"

Tao Muyao blushed instantly and lifted her right hand, which was still intertwined with Zhou Feng's, slightly.

The meaning is quite clear: you've been holding hands all day, why ask such a stupid question?

Zhou Feng didn't stand on ceremony and immediately reached out and pulled the girl into his arms.

Actually, the two of them are quite a good match. Their personalities complement each other, they have similar tastes in food, and their values ​​are not too different.

Although Zhou Feng's current net worth is definitely many times greater than that of the Tao family, they are still considered a wealthy family in the north and are not short of money.

It's fate that we've come together now.

In his excitement, Zhou Feng hugged Tao Muyao and spun her around twice before kissing her hard on the cheek.

After all, they were outside. Although there were many people hugging and kissing around them since the music festival started, Zhou Feng couldn't be that unrestrained.

It's fine to do whatever you want at home, but a kiss on the cheek or a hug outside is enough.

Although Tao Muyao's face flushed red, she still kissed Zhou Feng on the cheek and took out her phone to capture the moment.

"Huh? Why are you taking pictures?"

Zhou Feng was still a little stunned, but Tao Muyao reached out and touched his brow.

"Of course I took the picture and showed it to my mom, so she wouldn't keep nagging me to come find you."

Not only Ms. Li was urging Zhou Feng on every day, but Tao Muyao also had the same problem.

Now that the two have confirmed their relationship, of course they need to inform their mother, who has been constantly urging them on, as soon as possible.

"I'll take one too, I'll send one to my mom."

After the two photos were sent out, both of their phones rang at the same time.

The caller ID showed their respective mothers.

Zhou Feng and Tao Muyao exchanged a glance, their lips instantly curving upwards. In perfect unison, they pressed the red icon on their phones and swiped upwards.

Let's talk about it tonight!
