Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Time flies and it is already 1970.

After settling his family, Xu Damao also focused on running his business empire. First of all, he frequently traveled to some major cities in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and European and American countries were the hardest hit areas.

Of course, he didn't go there to travel or discuss cooperation, but to buy for free. He had to do what they did back then.

Now European and American countries are in a bad situation. Since Xu Damao's zero-dollar purchase last time, they have fallen into a global economic crisis. Before they can recover, a bigger economic crisis broke out again, and the world's economy has regressed by at least 20 years.

Xu Damao's main point is that I can develop slowly, but I am always moving forward. Isn't your economy developed? Then I will let you have negative growth, so won't the gap between us be smaller?

Xu Damao invested his huge wealth into the construction and development of Singapore, and the whole country showed a thriving and prosperous scene, which was particularly dazzling amid the global economic depression.

However, this has also attracted the covetousness of some countries. Since ancient times, when internal conflicts are too great to be reconciled, it is better to introduce some external conflicts to attract and divert domestic conflicts, such as war. This has made the situation in Southeast Asia tense, and the cloud of war is looming over Southeast Asia.

Xu Damao's layout in Hong Kong has penetrated many industries. After the outbreak of the economic crisis, Hong Kong was also greatly affected, with various fights, brawls and strikes emerging one after another.

Xu Damao took this opportunity to acquire various assets and industries, infiltrated his tentacles into every aspect of Hong Kong, and firmly grasped the economic lifeline of Hong Kong.

At the same time, he arranged for his subordinates to take to the streets to vigorously promote patriotism, hold various marches demanding Hong Kong's return to the motherland, take the lead in attacking various management agencies of the Sunset Country, and drive the white people out of Hong Kong.

It has to be said that due to the relatively closed domestic economic environment, although the social environment was a bit chaotic, it not only did not suffer any major impact from this larger economic crisis, but also took advantage of the opportunity to expand product exports and the economy also achieved good development.

Naturally, news of what happened in Hong Kong spread back. The Sunset Country was naturally unwilling to lose this cash cow, as they still had the right to use it for many years!

After several months of continuous meetings, they finally decided to send some troops from the mainland to suppress the rebellion, and then draw some troops from the Curry Kingdom to participate in this quelling operation. Yes, they directly defined the nature of this incident as a rebellion and decided to send troops to suppress it.

Since the Curry Kingdom was relatively close, it was the vanguard that headed to Hong Kong. Their vanguard commander, Lieutenant Colonel John, did not take the riot seriously, thinking it was just a struggle of some lower-class people, and it would be quelled as soon as his army arrived. He was already fantasizing that after he quelled the rebellion, the Queen would personally award him an honor and a knighthood.

However, when he led his fleet to the vicinity of Singapore and was about to pass through the Strait of Malacca, bad news came.

The Singapore government has issued a warning that Singapore is now in a first-level combat readiness state, and the Strait of Malacca has been blocked to prohibit any non-national ships from passing through. If you insist on passing through, you will bear all the consequences.

How could Lieutenant Colonel John take this country, which was established only a few years ago, seriously? You are nothing in the eyes of my Sunset Empire! What's more, I haven't established diplomatic relations with you. To put it bluntly, I don't recognize you at all!

"Go ahead, charge straight ahead, I want to see what they can do to me!" Lieutenant Colonel John decisively gave the order to move forward directly.

However, he soon paid the price for his stupidity. Shells of various calibers rained down from the sky, and dozens of torpedoes in the sea drew white lines and rushed towards the warship.

Lieutenant Colonel John's face turned pale and his pants were wet. He was just a second-generation military officer and had never experienced such a scene.

"Oh my god, retreat, retreat quickly!"

Lieutenant Colonel John issued the last order of his life, and then nothing happened. The advance fleet of the Sunset Empire was completely wiped out.

Xu Damao and Xu Han were standing on Mount Huapa, the highest point in southern Singapore, watching the fireworks not far away. It's not quite accurate to call it a mountain, after all, it's only about 110 meters high. To be more precise, it's just a small mound of earth.

"It's nothing. Let's go. There's nothing to see." Xu Damao said and turned around and walked down the mountain.

Xu Han followed closely behind, "Yeah, this is too hard to beat. It's over before I can even get enough fun. I still want to try out your new weapon, Boss."

"Hehe, there will be plenty of wars for you to fight in the future, but they are just a bunch of Karamis around you. I don't know whether those powerful countries will stop. My nuclear bombs are ready." Xu Damao said with a smile.

Yes, recently Xu Damao secretly exchanged a lot of advanced weapons and equipment, even ten nuclear bombs. After the zero-yuan purchase, there was too much money to spend, and the points also rose.

The news of the annihilation of the advance fleet soon spread back to the mainland of the Sunset Empire, and the local parliamentarians frantically clamored to send more reinforcements to the Far East to teach Singapore a lesson. They also hoped that they could bring back a lot of wealth and spoils from the East like their ancestors.

However, the reality is that the country's economy has suffered a severe blow. Not only has the gold and a large amount of looted spoils disappeared, but even the country's own national treasures have disappeared inexplicably. The currency has depreciated rapidly, and a large number of workers have lost their jobs. It can be said that the country is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Despite the difficult conditions, the congressmen and officials still tried their best and put all their savings into it. In the end, they scraped together enough military expenses and sent more reinforcements.

They also ordered the first wave of fleets that departed from the mainland to wait after arriving in Curry Country, and then act together after the two fleets met.

It can be said that this is a battle that is a gamble on the fate of the country. If the empire loses, it will no longer be able to control the colonies in various places, and the empire will become weaker and even unable to recover. If it wins, it can recover a lot of blood, use the plundered resources to feed back to the country, and continue the glory of the empire.

Xu Damao said that he was not afraid of any number of you coming, and he guaranteed to send you all into the fish's belly.

A month later, the two fleets reunited and rested for a while before heading towards the Strait of Malacca together. However, this time they did not see the shadow of the strait. Half of them were killed by missiles and mines on the way, and they were so scared that half of them were killed by submarines on the return journey.

Just like that, the sunset empire really went down. But they were unwilling to accept defeat and began to jump up and down in the international arena to seek help from their allies. Under the leadership of the United States, when other countries were about to send troops, Singapore detonated a nuclear bomb on an uninhabited island in the southern Indian Ocean, and the countries that were jumping for joy instantly shut up.
