Rick inhaled a few mouthfuls of Sun Mengyuan and Lilian's body fragrance, and after a short rest, Rick regained his strength and played with the two beauties for a while, it was already dark, and the maid who delivered the tea ran over again and asked Rick to go to dinner.

Several people returned to the villa, the chef had already made a large table of dishes, Pat, Lilian's father, and Luo Ou all came over, and it was the tenth time that they had eaten together, and Lilian's family did not treat Rick and Luo Ou as outsiders at all, which made Rick very moved. Lilian's father was a serious underworld, and now he can still be so polite and virtuous, this kind of high-quality person Rick has never seen a second except for Lilian's father. People who open casinos will naturally not be very clean at hand, and they can control several big casinos, and if they are not closely related to the underworld, they will not be able to open them for a long time. In the past few days since he returned, Rick has also seen that many men in black will come to visit Lilian's father, and in addition to staying with his family, Lilian's father is basically with his three close henchmen.

In addition to a dozen servants in the villa, there are also more than a dozen black-clad bodyguards, these people guard the villa all year round, don't think about it, it is Lilian's father's underworld forces in LS Vegas.

"In a few days, I'm going to ALSGA, and I'm probably going to be there for a while." Lilian's father said.

"You never talk about business at the dinner table, why did you make an exception today?" Lillian asked, biting her lip and the fork in her hand.

Lilian's father poured himself a glass of red wine, "Son, times are different, this time I want you to go with me." ”

"Me?" Lillian asked curiously, for some reason, Lillian felt that today's father was very different, as if he had suffered some sudden accident.

"Yes, you're not too young, I'm just a kid like you, it's time for you to take over the family business." Lilian's father's expression suddenly became serious, which made everyone at the table nervous, usually Lilian's father was not like this, but now suddenly serious, the atmosphere became depressing.

Lillian was even more fluctuating and emotional, "Are you referring to let me run the casino?" "To be honest, Lilian has never thought about this, since she was a child, Lilian has been accustomed to the rich life of the stars and the moon, and Lilian has never thought of the family's business, let alone taking over the family's business! Father's presence made Lillian feel a little fantastical.

"Actually, we are bankrupt, the government is forcibly shutting down the virtual enterprises in LS Vegas, casinos and tourism are being hit hard, times have changed, like these virtual economies, it is no longer in line with the trend of social development, maybe it will appear in the future, but now these are against the trend." Lillian's dad slowed down his speech, which made the crowd even more thrilling.

Lillian was also shocked, the family went bankrupt? Will there be a change in the affluent life after that? "So what do you want to do?"

"Any business must conform to social trends, do you understand current affairs and politics? If you don't understand, you'll have to pay attention to it later. Now that the Coalition Government is headquartered in ALSGA, and the government is going to build a city outside the Coalition Government Headquarters, this is our chance, I have sold all the shares of the casino at a low price, and I have exchanged the property and all the resources for money, and we will go to invest in the upcoming new town. Your grandfathers used their lives to lay the foundation for the current country in LS Vegas, and it is precisely because of your grandfather, who does not ask about the family's affairs, has no quarrel with the world, and is dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, that all accidents have been avoided. While your grandfathers were still alive, all my brothers were assassinated, and our enemies have been trying to interrupt the continuation of our family business. Then your grandfathers approached me, and someone had to take over the family business. You know what happened next, after I came to power in full power, the enemy assassinated your mother. ”

Lillian remembers that history clearly, and it is still a nightmare that Lillian can't get rid of. At that time, Lillian was only four years old, and her father Mike and mother had just returned from the outside, and at that time, father and mother would often go on business trips, and they would be gone for half a month. When they returned, their father and mother came to Lillian's room, where they talked to each other, and they kissed Lillian's forehead and went back to the room.

And that kiss is eternal. In the middle of the night, there was a sudden gunshot in the parents' room, and someone ambushed outside the parents' room in advance and fired more than a dozen shots at the parents' bed, Mike reacted quickly, but the mother was mistaken for Mike, and was shot four times and died on the spot.

The bodyguards in the villa immediately blew up, and the society at that time was not safe, so there were more bodyguards in the house, thirty or forty people with submachine guns were chasing the murderer in the yard, and there were seven or eight around Mike's room, Lilian was also taken to her parents' room, and the private doctor in the villa took bullets for Lilian's mother, although it was useless, the doctor still did his best. The image of her mother was seared into Lilian's mind.

The murderer was caught, but nothing was interrogated, and it has been found out that the murderer got in in the afternoon pretending to be a worker repairing sewer pipes, and squatted in the yard for a long time. Lillian also knew what her father had done with the man, and when she was instructed to do so, one of his men pulled the murderer outside, dismembered him with a chainsaw, and mailed various body parts to many business enemies.

"So what are we going to do in New Town?" Lillian asked, this is also a problem, gambling and tourism are squeezed, what other suitable industries are there.

"No matter at any time, there is never anyone in the world who refuses to enjoy it, we build three six-star hotels in the new city, and as long as the price is lowered in the future, it is no problem to maintain our standard of living." Maintaining a standard of living is not just a family's expenses, Mike has hundreds of people under him, and these people also need to get remuneration from Mike, who wants to do unpaid work? Not to mention this life of wandering on the tip of a knife.

At this point, Mike turned his gaze to Rick, "Rick, I hope that when I retire, you can help Lillian with the family's business. ”

Originally, the family was talking about things, but Rick, who had been silent, never arrived, and the topic would talk about himself. "Huh?" Rick sighed in surprise, didn't Mike just treat Rick as his own family member directly? If not, how could such a huge undertaking be managed by Rick with just an outside kid.

"I, I don't have that ability!" Rick was a little embarrassed, and Roo turned his eyes on it. Now, Rick is the center of attention.

"It doesn't matter, I will personally teach you how to deal with it, don't worry, you can join the Space Force if you want, if you can meet some people in the army, it will be more helpful to the family business, and I will also say hello to you from the Space Force." One more thing, if you agree, I'll consider your marriage to Lillian. Mike's last sentence surprised Rick and Roo as well as Sun Mengyuan.

Lillian's face turned red, and when Mike finished speaking, Lilian lowered her head and peeked at Rick.

Luo Ou is very happy in his heart, his younger brother can enter the wealthy family, which is a happy thing, and the younger brother also took over the business, on the surface, Rick helped Lillian take care of the business, but in fact, the initiative should still be on Rick, after all, there are many things, and women are not easy to come forward.

Since he successfully resisted the virus, Rick has not dared to think about marrying Lillian, which is more ridiculous in Rick's opinion, Lilian's suitors can be ranked in country Y from here, why does everyone think they can match Lilian? Rick thought for a moment and said his psychological words, "What makes my uncle take a fancy to me, an ordinary person with ordinary qualifications?" ”

Mike replied without thinking, "It's because of your ordinariness that I see you here." ”

Rick was even more shocked, why is this sentence again? When he was in Siberia, when Rick and Sun Mengyuan were separated, Sun Mengyuan confessed to himself, and Rick asked what made Sun Mengyuan fall in love with him, and Sun Mengyuan said this sentence, "It is because of your ordinariness!" "Are ordinary people so popular now? Rick was puzzled.

Mike continued, "You're a good person, and I can see that Lillian likes you too, and it's amazing that you saved my father and my daughter, and even I didn't provide that much care for my family." Second, no less than 100 of my clients in the business have proposed to marry Lillian and marry, but I have all refused, do you know why? ”

Sun Mengyuan heard Mike's words, and subconsciously distanced himself from Lilian, Mike said that Lilian likes Rick, which makes Sun Mengyuan difficult to accept, and Sun Mengyuan doesn't understand, why is Lilian so good to herself now, doing all this, is she trying to leave Rick? Sun Mengyuan's heart began to bump like a deer.

Rick thought for a moment, "You only have one daughter, and those people may covet your property, and as long as you get Lillian, all your property will rightfully belong to someone else." ”

Mike clapped his hands, "Clever! I said I believed in my daughter's vision. You are from an ordinary family, and if you marry Lilian, you will concentrate on serving this family, and you will not turn your elbows outward like other outsiders. In this way, the bloodline of the family is still pure. ”

This is a little difficult to do, Rick is a little difficult to answer, the key is that Sun Mengyuan is still here, if Rick agrees now, that is, he admits this marriage, Sun Mengyuan, this little girl, will definitely be sad, and it will not be good to make any moves when the time comes, which makes Rick a headache, Rick is really big. With such a good old man's identity, Rick doesn't know how long he can hold on.

"You think about it, let's not talk about this, let's eat first. After a while, the dishes were cold. Mike saw Rick's dilemma and took the initiative to change the subject.

This meal was very depressing, and the food made by the national chef was also lightened.

At night, Rick and Lillian came to the roof of the villa, the stars in the night sky were still as bright as ever, there were faint clouds in the sky, just like the tangled in Rick's heart, which could not be erased, the evening breeze stirred the leaves in the yard, the street lamps on the path were dim, the moonlight depicted the outline of a pair of lovers on the ground, Lillian's head rested lightly on Rick's shoulder, and Rick felt the breath of love for the first time.

Is it just together? Rick asked himself in his heart, this girl who used to exist like a goddess in his mind is now snuggled in his arms, Rick actually didn't have a little heartbeat, but his heart was calmer than usual, why is this?

Neither of them broke the silence, just enjoying every minute of the moment......

Jason sits in the command center of Army headquarters, which is full of electronic screens and has a dimly lit background similar to that of other operations centers. Because the people's voice was too high, the government couldn't bear the pressure, so Jason was asked to come out first to preside over the overall situation, and then to hold Jason accountable for his negligence after everything had subsided.

After Jason came out, he first took his parents from XWY, because of work, the two old men have been separated from themselves, and now Jason has been reinstated, and WDE's crusade is about to begin, at this critical moment, Jason doesn't want WDE to kidnap his parents for political blackmail. So, Jason contacted the XWY military and asked the army to escort the two old men from XWY to the capital city.

The war is about to begin, under the Antarctic base, the deep-sea probe observed, the hundreds of submarines are hidden inside the base, and the base seems to have other high-tech defense systems, the entire base is wrapped by a strong metal outer wall, the outer wall has many holes and gaps, and from the gap is a black nozzle, like a kind of sea defense cannon. I have to say that the WDE is really full of talents, and it has been able to build such a strong army in the past twenty years, and many military leaders have become "fans" of the WDE. "Of course, this is only a fan in the narrow sense.

Coalition government warships have gathered in several places, namely the east coast of country M, the west coast of Africa, and Australia's national naval base. Thousands of warships and submarines have been assembled in these three places, and the navy of country M has almost been dispatched, and all nine aircraft carrier battle groups are ready to go to battle, and a few remain outside the coastline for domestic defense.

Of course, the battlefield is not only these, the intelligence officers of country Y have found out several areas of WDE's military power distribution in Africa, and now the land forces of the coalition government and the armies of African countries have blockaded several areas, if nothing else, this should be the last force of WDE on the earth.

Thor is on a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and now Thor is already a lieutenant colonel in the army, from being discharged from the army to being recalled again, Thor has changed his body and hung up his official position, and he didn't make a name for himself when he served before, but he didn't expect to be quickly promoted after being recalled by the army, just participating in a few battles. This is also because of the epidemic, tens of thousands of soldiers died, Thor was lucky not to become one of the 400,000, in that period of lack of military personnel, because of significant combat exploits, Thor was promoted several times in a row, if it were not for Thor's poor professionalism compared to these young people, Thor might have been far more than a lieutenant colonel.

Now Thor is the largest army commander on the aircraft carrier, and although he does not play a commanding role in naval battles, the soldiers on board have a lot of respect for Thor. Military discipline is now stricter than before, and because of the disaster caused by the WDE, the upper echelons are paying more attention to the management of the army. In this era, the armed forces no longer only play the responsibility of defending the homeland and the country, but have become the backbone of the development of this era.

After the Celestial Empire's ocean-going combat naval fleet arrived at the Australian naval base, the coalition government commanded remotely in ALSKA, and all the units set sail. Thor stood on the upper deck of the aircraft carrier, where the fighters were lined up in two rows, the nuclear reactor under the bottom plate of the aircraft carrier was put into rated working condition, the steam turbine propelled the entire hull forward, and the aircraft carrier and the surrounding frigates and destroyers maintained the same speed towards the South Pole. Thor came to the ship island and saw the dense battleships on the sea, this scene was really shocking, and Thor couldn't help but get adrenaline pumping, except for the naval duel between country M and country R during World War II, this will be the largest naval battle in the history of country M.

More than 800 warships and 600 submarines went on this joint operation, which may seem like a small number, but when you really look at it from a third-person perspective or a first-person perspective, you will know how exaggerated this number is! The size of each warship is very large, and the hundreds of huge objects together are even more spectacular.

After a day and a night of trekking, all the combat units arrived at the periphery of the South Pole 400 nautical miles away from Antarctica, which is already very close to the WDE's Antarctic base, and many admirals also hope to park the fleet farther, 400 nautical miles is likely to have entered the attack range of the Antarctic base, if the WDE defense system is turned on and takes the initiative to attack the coalition government navy first, this war will be even more difficult to fight. Four hundred nautical miles, anyone with a little bit of conditions and technology can find such a large fleet, after all, so many ships are really impossible not to be noticeable.

All the warships are parked in the distance, the fishing pedoes are ready, the deep-water missiles are already ready to fire, all the submarines are under the surface of the sea, the homing missiles have been called up, and the radar has locked on to the target four hundred nautical miles away.

With an order from the Secretary General of AL Sga, all warships and submarines have launched attack missiles or fishing pedoes, more than 2,000 terrifying shadows quickly attacked in the water, and at the same time, the main battle artillery also aimed at the Antarctic permafrost on the base, and fired a round of shells in a row, now all you need to do is wait and let the shells fly for a while!
