Doctor, I'm really strong!

From the perspective of respecting the facts, Liu Jiuli is indeed not an enemy of Da Yan, at least not now. Da Yan cannot take action under the pretext of "prevention," as that would make all the other Sui Beast clones feel insecure, and then they would all run to Ursus to help their youngest brother. Yan would be the one crying, while Ursus would be overjoyed.

Therefore, the basic principle of action is that we should not force others to become our enemies. We should cooperate if we can. Unless we really become enemies with irreconcilable conflicts, Yan should not and should not take things to extremes.

Let's just pretend nothing happened and continue to cooperate fully with them. They still have quite a few good things in their possession.

What the Grand Tutor was most concerned about was Liu Jiuli's abilities.

The clones of the Year Beast each possess unique abilities, which are also methods to counter their strength. What are Liu Jiuli's abilities? This is very important to the Great Yan, and it is used as a precaution.

There is also the prophecy of the Yan Kingdom.

"The true dragon descends to earth, and the Great Yan Dynasty will last for ten thousand years."

The Grand Tutor murmured these words, his deep eyes gazing into the distance.

Kharkiv Naval Base

As a major city, Kharkiv's most valuable asset is its land-based naval port, although technically it is a product of at least twenty years of development, the difference between having it and not having it is still significant.

Liu Jiuli even made a special trip here to inspect the place, and then twenty-seven senior executives died there that same day.

The corruption in the construction of the naval port was no longer a matter of severity, but rather that everything here had a price tag. Reselling military supplies was a basic operation, and judging from the local official's pot-bellied physique, Liu Jiuli was certain that his monthly stipend was no less than seven figures.

Why keep someone like that around for the New Year?

He can do without those administrative positions that can be manipulated or rendered meaningless, but he must keep these real-world industry positions in his hands with integrity and honesty. Therefore, this kind of corruption must not be tolerated and must be dealt with severely!

The Ministry of the Interior is on its way – to the shooting range for practice!

After a fatherly cleanup, the entire military port was transformed, and a large number of valuable technical personnel were preserved. Looking at these highly skilled workers, Liu Jiuli was so moved that he almost cried.

At least they didn't push him to the point of using flour mills to build aircraft carriers; I'm so grateful.

But after carefully understanding the situation, Liu Jiuli wished he could dig out those military port executives who had already died and whip their corpses (very blue, their corpses have been thrown into the recycling station of the all-powerful factory, and have long since disintegrated into basic particles).

None of these people were engineers; they were all skilled workers.

To put it another way: Patching up broken parts is fine, but building new ships is not.

The reason why the local shipbuilding workers are lying down like this is mainly because the Kharkiv land-based shipbuilding naval port has not taken on the construction of any new land-based ships for at least twenty years, and the reason for all this is the geographical conditions.

Looking at the map, Kharkiv's movement trajectory is in the central region of the Far East, and it is separated from the neighboring Yan Kingdom by mountains. Even if a war breaks out, the Yan Kingdom's main force cannot launch an attack from here. In contrast, the plains where Steelgrad (formerly Chernobog) is located are more likely to become the front line of war. Therefore, Kharkiv does not have an urgent need for military strength. It is enough to solve the surrounding problems. If an unimaginable major event occurs, Steelgrad will be in front, and Kharkiv can simply retreat if things get too dangerous.

Furthermore, the local nobles were basically incompetent in their management. Withholding wages was considered a very conscientious practice. They even demanded that the workers in the naval port do hard labor for them and frequently misappropriated the resources there to earn extra money for themselves, much like American soldiers fishing from warships.

Local workers get up earlier than chickens and later than dogs every day, work more than oxen, and eat worse than pigs.

The result is that all the capable workers have left, and those who remain are either stuck in the local area and can't leave, or they have limited abilities and can only try to make a living here, since the conditions here are still better than outside, albeit only slightly.

Without the phoenix tree, he wouldn't have come to Golden Phoenix. Liu Jiuli thought he had found a phoenix tree, but he never expected it to be a piece of rotten wood wrapped in a layer of phoenix bark, which had long been ruined.

At a crucial moment, the engineers from Rhodes Island, Kroos, provided some small assistance, nothing special; she just knew how to design landships.

Liu Jiuli wished he could hug Kroos and kiss her on the spot, and unilaterally declare: From today onwards, you, Kroos, are closer to me than Kal'tsit.

Of course, we should also make use of the local workers. Although they only know how to repair ships, they can also build ships. Give it your all, and the future will be in your hands.

Simply offering encouragement was of course useless. Liu Jiuli first announced on the spot that the Red Guards would make up for every penny of the wages owed to them by the military port.

That one short sentence boosted morale to its maximum.

Next, they explained the Red Guards' management philosophy for the state-owned factory to the workers in simple, easy-to-understand language. Anyone who could understand human language would know what it meant.

Liu Jiuli sternly warned all state-owned factories that they must distribute welfare to workers in this way, and not to use any messy calculation methods. Anyone who dares to come up with a formula to calculate it will be sent directly to a labor camp. Isn't making it so complicated just to make empty promises to the workers without spending a penny of their own money? You're just burning newspapers at a grave to fool Hoshiguma.

All the workers wanted was to get rich through hard work and earn more for their labor.

Fairness, fairness, and damn fairness!

Section 133: Streetlight ornaments are still more suitable for you.

(Comrades, where are the comments? I don't want them, so they just disappear? So sad o(╥﹏╥)o)

Longmen, a capitalist city brimming with a spirit of freedom.

Boom! He exploded.

A massive explosion rocked the city center, and the terrifying shockwave swept across everything within its effective kill radius, directly causing 27 deaths and 125 injuries in Lungmen, with property damage exceeding 30 million Lungmen Dollars.

The explosion occurred at a candy store, and investigators found slogans from the Reunion Movement at the scene.

"What does the mess that the Reunion Movement is making have to do with our Red Guards?"

This was Liu Jiuli's first reaction upon learning of this. Given the Red Guards' self-control, such unorganized and undisciplined criminal behavior was simply impossible. Did they really think political officers were just for show, and that political vetting was just a formality?

"But the problem now is that some people say that the Red Guards are the same as the Reunion Movement, and they have presented evidence that the Red Guards have absorbed many members of the Reunion Movement, in order to prove that we have a problem."

Talulah handed the collected information to Liu Jiuli. Currently, public opinion in Lungmen is overwhelmingly condemning the terrorist attack, but the fact that the Red Guards are part of the Integration Movement has not been made public. This indicates that someone is deliberately spreading information that is detrimental to the Red Guards. Lungmen's reaction is that they have no reaction. Wei Yanwu's side is obviously a bit confused, but they do not intend to side with the rumors, because logically and emotionally, the Red Guards have no reason to do so.

The problem now is that the relationship between the Red Guards and the Integration Movement is real. Liu Jiuli can change the organization's name and structure, but he can't change everyone. This is the enemy's handle to attack the Red Guards.

Liu Jiuli tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Let me think. At this time, the guys who would cause me trouble are either the Taigu Group or the Ursus Empire. Currently, these are the only two that have openly acted against us. Hmm, we can't rule out the possibility that these two have joined forces. Do you think it could be a conspiracy by other Black Serpents?"

Black Serpent Talulah took over Talulah's body and said seriously, "It's entirely possible."

Liu Jiuli nodded: "Very good. So the enemy who may have attacked us has been identified. The next step is to investigate. This work can be handed over to the Lungmen Guard Bureau. Inspector Chen will be willing to lead the team personally."

Indeed, when Chen Huijie learned about this, she was furious.

She knew better than anyone what kind of organization the Red Guards were. Having been in the Future Science City for so long, she had fully embraced their belief, which was full of the spirit of human liberation, and had put the style of the People's Police into practice in her work. Now she attended the Red Guards' political class every week without fail, rain or shine, and could call them comrades.

"The Red Guards would never do such a thing!"

Liu Jiuli nodded and said, "We really didn't do it, but it's easy to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them. So, Comrade Chen Huijie, I'll leave this matter to you. I think Governor Wei will definitely have no objections."

Wei Yanwu naturally had no objections. He was also furious. The future technology, the engine of Lungmen's economy, was being slandered like this, and even accused of a terrorist attack. With Liu Jiuli's strength, his attacks were on the level of massacring entire cities. Why would he need such trash as explosives? He could just fly up and slash twice, and Lungmen would be shattered like a piece of cake.

Such rumors can only fool uninformed passersby. Those who truly understand the Red Guards and future technology simply do not believe it, just as people on Earth would not believe that the US government is doing good deeds.

"Understood, I will definitely find that scoundrel!"

Just as Chen Huijie was preparing to take action, a UC News headline appeared on Swire News, which read: "Shocking! The Red Guards are actually an alternate body of the Reunion Movement."

The article then quickly disappeared. Swire Group stated that it was a mistake and that the article was false, and apologized to the public. However, in this suspicious time, such a fleeting news story gave more people room for conspiracy theories.

"Very well, Swire Group isn't clean either."

Liu Jiuli did not consider this a work error. Even if it was a work error, from now on, the Red Guards would be wary of the Taikoo Group and regard it as a threat.

Because of the fundamental economic contradictions, Future Technology's development in Lungmen has reached a bottleneck. No matter how it expands, it will inevitably clash with Swire Group sooner or later, resulting in a life-or-death struggle. It's better to fight sooner rather than later. Take advantage of this opportunity to deal with Swire Group or force it to make some concessions. Only in this way can Future Technology truly occupy the core economic position in Lungmen.

Furthermore, this news was published on the main banner of Swire News in the most prominent position. News in such a position is subject to repeated review and is published with great care. Since the day Swire News took root in Longmen, there have been news articles removed from this position, but none of them were false reports. Therefore, Swire Group's so-called apology is obviously suspected of being done intentionally.

“Your unclean identity is your greatest weakness.”

Having received guidance from an expert, Cheng Jiali was very satisfied with the current situation, because the advantage he had was too great, and the room for maneuver was as vast as the ocean. Therefore, he firmly believed that "the advantage is in my hands."

What made him happiest was that he wasn't the main person responsible for this mess. Swire Group had at most made an "accidental" operational mistake. I've already apologized, what more do you want?

A direct confrontation is not the style of a businessman; the wise prefer to feint and attack from the sidelines while simultaneously encircling and attacking reinforcements.

Cheng Jiali hummed a Victoria song that praised wealth and power. He particularly liked "Wealth and Power Grant Me Glory" because it was a true reflection of his life.

What Swire Group needs to do next is to reap the benefits. When things get chaotic in Lungmen, Future Technology will not be able to remain unscathed, and even Wei Yanwu will have to give up some of his profits. At that time, it will be Swire Group's chance to save the day.

I bet the Red Guards are currently anxiously trying to figure out how to explain this, hahaha.

The next second, everything went black before Cheng Jiali's eyes, and he knew nothing more.

When he woke up again, he was in a dimly lit confinement room, and Liu Jiuli was looking at him with a smile.

"Oh, the General Manager is awake. Come on, let him wake up properly."

Before Cheng Jiali could even react, a bucket of ice water mixture gave him a taste of zero degrees Celsius. Then, several burly Ursus men lifted him up and proceeded to subject him to the "tiger bench" and pepper spray.

Cheng Jiali had never suffered like this before, and soon he was screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

"I protest! This is illegal imprisonment! Illegal imprisonment!"

Liu Jiuli laughed and said, "You already know it's illegal imprisonment, so what's the point of protesting?"

Cheng Jiali was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why he had suddenly ended up in this situation. Were the security guards at Taikoo Group all deaf and blind?

But he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't keep thinking about it. There were still many tortures waiting for him. Liu Jiuli didn't even ask a question. He just let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs give him a massage like the one at the Afei Club.

Finally, Cheng Jiali broke down, shouting, "What do you want to know? What do you want to know! Say something!"

Liu Jiuli then slowly said, "Not long ago we captured an Ursus man and learned some very interesting things, including some about Manager Cheng. However, he was just a messenger and didn't know much. I wonder if Manager Cheng would be willing to elaborate on this matter?"

Cheng Jiali was dumbfounded. "Damn it, what kind of secrecy is this? I was supposed to be just an assistant, making money on the side. Why am I now the scapegoat?"

"That's all fake, I never agreed to it!"

"Oh, I see. It seems Manager Cheng has some memory problems. Let's help him recover his memory."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs' Great Memory Restoration Technique was clearly beyond the capabilities of someone as small as Cheng Jiali. Their professional training allowed them to inflict maximum pain on the interrogated person with minimal damage while keeping them fully conscious. If all else failed, they would resort to Originium Arts. For a pampered guy like Cheng Jiali, it would make his memory crystal clear in no time, so he could even explain how old he was when he wet the bed.

After being tormented, Cheng Jiali was completely desperate. He firmly believed that Liu Jiuli had obtained some key information, so he could only honestly say, "I'll talk, I'll tell you everything I know."

Liu Jiuli was already grilling skewers in the solitary confinement room, and without looking up, he said, "Speak."

"Yes, it was an Ursus who came to us seeking cooperation."

Cheng Jiali glanced at Liu Jiuli, who was focused on grilling skewers and showed no intention of asking any questions.

However, his brief pause earned him a friendly look from the Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel.

"Damn it, what is this guy trying to hide? He's really dishonest, torture him!"

"No, no, no, I'll tell you! I'll tell you right now, I'll tell you right away!"

Cheng Jiali was terrified and dared not hide anything. He confessed everything about the cooperation. Only after confirming that he could not say anything more did he look at Liu Jiuli with trepidation.

Liu Jiuli picked up a grilled kidney, took a bite, and nodded, saying, "Hmm, Ursus, Taigu Group, and their conspiracy against Lungmen, Future Technology, and even the Red Guards are all meticulously planned and executed. A grand scheme indeed."

Cheng Jiali didn't dare to say a word at this moment, just like a quail that had been frightened into silence.

After a moment, Liu Jiuli waved his hand and said, "Get rid of it."

Even though he knew his chances of survival were slim, when his death was truly imminent, Cheng Jiali still struggled with all his might and shouted, "I am the general manager of Taikoo Group, I am the head of the Victoria Cheng family, you can't do this to me, you can't do this to me!"

With a thud, Liu Jiuli slammed a stack of documents in front of Cheng Jiali and asked indifferently, "Do you know what this is?"

Cheng Jiali shook his head. Liu Jiuli squatted down and then showed the contents of the book page by page in front of Cheng Jiali, who was kneeling.

This is evidence collected by Future Technology regarding Cheng Jiali and the entire Cheng family's illegal and disorderly conduct.
