Chapter 238: Sabre Rattling

Liu Hui did not know that the US political axe had decided to expand the scale of the conflict between the two sides, and they were determined to get the desalination technology of the Star Group. After controlling Xiao Hei at the headquarters of the Star Group in Hong Kong to carefully clean up the waters of the Persian Gulf, he let Xiao Hei lurk in a trench near the desalination ship.

At this time, Hong Kong time was already noon the next day. Liu Hui didn't close his eyes all night, he sat in the Star Group to dispatch troops, control Xiao Hei to go to the Persian Gulf, kill the US aircraft carrier battle group, and then cruise in the Persian Gulf, these things are very energy-consuming, if you change someone, you would have been tired and collapsed. However, Liu Hui has now reached the foundation building period of cultivation, and his strength has greatly improved, and this level of fatigue has no effect on his body at all. After arranging the means to deal with the threat of the United States, Liu Hui breathed a long sigh of relief.

Originally, in Liu Hui's plan, this period of time was dominated by the steady development of the Star Group, and he was unwilling to have any military conflict with the United States. Although he has the help of Super Black, he can basically be invincible in the event of a conflict with the United States. However, a premature conflict with the United States will make the Star Group lose more than it gains, and will seriously affect the construction progress of the "Star City" and the business development around the world. However, in the face of the aggressive posture of the US political axe, Liu Hui could not choose to retreat easily. If he takes a step back, then he will have to back down step by step in the future, which will seriously damage the interests of the Star Group, so Liu Hui still chose to confront the US military in desperation.

Liu Hui doesn't have many hole cards in his hand now, in order to strengthen his strength, he once asked Zege of the Zerg and asked Zege for some weapons used by the Protoss in their world. But Zege's words gave Liu Hui a blow to the head, Zege said that the reason why those Protoss were able to use the energy weapons made by the Protoss was because the Protoss was born with a peculiar ability to control energy, and this ability to control energy was a racial skill of the Protoss, and it was impossible for other races to possess it. Just like their Zerg's remote control ability, the Protoss can't possibly have it. Moreover, in terms of human genes, no matter how they are modified, it is impossible for humans to have the energy control ability of the Protoss. And without this energy control ability, it is impossible to use the energy weapons of the Protoss, so even if there are more Protoss weapons in front of the human race, it will be useless.

Zege knew that Liu Hui would not give up, so he traded a most commonly used energy gun for the Protoss warriors to him, but after countless efforts, Liu Hui found that he could not use even the simplest Protoss energy gun, so he gave up this tricky method of obtaining powerful weapons through trading, so he buried himself in developing his own technology, preparing to make powerful weapons for himself in the future.

In the past two years, Liu Hui has been unremittingly looking for new planes that can be traded every day, but two years have passed, and he has not found even a plane trader who has responded. This also gave him the most intuitive understanding of the difficulty of finding a new plane trader that Zeg had said earlier.

It took hundreds of years for Zege to find Liu Hui, and it took thousands of years for Xiaoyaozi to find Liu Hui. Liu Hui was able to contact Zege, Alexander, and Xiaoyaozi so quickly after getting the plane trader, and it was all because of his luck. In addition to the fact that he took the initiative to find Alexander, Zeg and Xiaoyaozi both took the initiative to find him, and now that his good luck has run out, it will be difficult to find a new plane trader.

However, even if he can't rely on the plane quotient, Liu Hui has a way to deal with the dilemma that the Star Group is facing now, and it's just a big deal to lose both.

In the afternoon, when Liu Hui was deducing in his office what direction the situation of the Star Group would develop in the future, Li Lian came in and told him that Director Huang of the Ministry of Commerce of China was here, and Director Huang said that there was something important and he had to see him immediately.

"Director Huang of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China wants to see him?" Liu Hui was taken aback, could it be that this Director Huang also knew about the conflict between the Star Group and the American [***] team, otherwise how could he appear in front of him at this time?

"I know, you can invite Director Huang to me!" Liu Hui said to Li Lian, and then he began to organize his thoughts, guessing Director Huang's intentions.

Director Huang soon appeared in Liu Hui's office, his face looked a little cautious, and he didn't have the usual feeling of looking like a spring breeze.

"Director Huang, please take a seat!" Liu Hui said.

"Boss Liu, don't be so polite." Director Huang found a sofa and sat down on his own.

"I don't know what Director Huang is looking for me today?" Liu Hui asked tentatively.

Director Huang glanced at Liu Hui, and suddenly sighed: "Boss Liu, do you know that your Star Group is in danger now?" ”

Liu Hui said with a smile: "Our Star Group is developing well now, and all economic indicators are very good, how can it be in danger?" Director Huang is kidding! ”

Director Huang said: "Boss Liu, why are you pretending to be stupid to me? Don't you know what you're facing? ”

Liu Hui said: "What is the situation, why don't I know at all? Why don't you ask Director Huang to tell me? ”

Director Huang said: "We have just received news that it seems that you and the US political axe have had some conflicts in the Persian Gulf, which has provoked the American political axe, so they have decided to send the "Stennis Aircraft Carrier Battle Group" to deal with you, and at the same time, they have also mobilized a lot of combat aircraft and army units to participate in this offensive. ”

Liu Hui was stunned, he really didn't know the news. Huaxia has a complete information system, so it can quickly obtain some military intelligence from the United States, and there is still a gap between its "starry eyes" and Huaxia in these aspects. He just didn't expect that he had just killed the US military's "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group, and the US military would immediately send the "Stennis" aircraft carrier battle group.

Isn't the US military afraid that this aircraft carrier battle group of theirs will be wiped out like the previous aircraft carrier battle group? Moreover, this "Stennis Nissi" aircraft carrier battle group originally belonged to the US Fifth Fleet with the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier as its flagship, so did it also want to follow the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier to hell?

And because Liu Hui did a good job of secrecy, the outside world is not clear about the conflict between the Star Group and the US military at all, so the country does not know why they have this conflict.

Liu Hui was secretly surprised that the Americans had sent another aircraft carrier battle group, and they had also mobilized a lot of combat aircraft and army units, so the expression on his face was a little surprised. But Director Huang thought that Liu Hui was frightened by this news, and he immediately said: "Boss Liu, don't be afraid. Your Star Group is our enterprise in China, and we will definitely stand behind you. ”

Liu Hui thought about it, this Director Huang came to him at this time, definitely not to comfort himself. He must have said something unspoken, so Liu Hui pretended to be scared and said, "Director Huang, you have to call the shots for us!" We haven't done anything, how can we get into trouble with the U.S. military and cause them to mobilize so many troops to attack us? ”

Director Huang suddenly sighed and said, "It stands to reason that our Huaxia Kingdom should do our best to protect your company, but you also know that our domestic policies are a little biased in the handling of you!" ”

Liu Hui was really curious this time, and he asked: "The country actually treats us with deviations?" ”

Director Huang said: "Yes, the first service object of our political axe department is state-owned enterprises, because these state-owned enterprises are the state and their own people; And then there's you private companies. Therefore, if something happens to our state-owned enterprises, we will definitely protect them at all costs, because it is our own interests. As for you private enterprises, the state must consider the gains and losses before doing this. ”

Liu Hui looked at Director Huang, he suddenly understood what Director Huang had just said, and he smiled: "In other words, if our Star Group is a state-owned enterprise, then you can do whatever it takes to protect our safety, right?" ”

Director Huang smiled: "That's the truth, state-owned enterprises are our own children, how can we parents not love our children?" ”

Liu Hui looked embarrassed: "But our Star Group is now a private enterprise, and it has nothing to do with state-owned enterprises!" In this case, you will definitely not pay attention to us, let alone because we are at war with the US military, so who should protect our security? ”

Director Huang said: "This problem is actually very easy to solve, if your Star Group can sell some shares to us, for example, our political axe owns more than 51% of the shares, then the Star Group will immediately become a large state-owned enterprise, that is, our people, and we will naturally do our best to protect your safety at that time." ”

Liu Hui's anger in his heart is getting bigger and bigger, and Director Huang said so much in a rambling manner, it turns out that his fundamental purpose is to use the US military's military threat to the Star Group to gain a controlling stake in the Star Group. But he said as if he was begging to give them the shares, and he took advantage of them. This Director Huang represents the wishes of those bigwigs in China, could it be that those bigwigs are beginning to have ideas about the Star Group?

Liu Hui suddenly asked: "Director Huang, our Star Group is facing the threat of force from the USS Stennis aircraft carrier battle group this time, you say that you can protect our security, does it mean that our country already has a way to deal with the USS Stennis aircraft carrier battle group?" ”

Director Huang's tone was suffocated, and he said with some embarrassment: "We don't need to face them directly, you must know that the highest level in Sun Tzu's Art of War is a soldier who surrenders without a fight, so you can rest assured that we have a way to solve this crisis you encountered." ”

Liu Hui said: "But if we transfer the controlling stake in the Star Group to you this time, even if you can temporarily drive away the "Stennis" aircraft carrier battle group, but after you leave, the "Steanis" aircraft carrier battle group will come back and come to us for trouble. Will you be taking our shares? If you don't care about it at that time, won't we hand over all the remaining shares of the Star Group to the American political axe? ”

Director Huang was suddenly dizzy by Liu Hui's logic, and he said: "Naturally, such a situation will not occur, we will definitely be able to help you solve this crisis, you have to believe in our political axe, believe in our party." ”

Liu Hui suddenly smiled and said: "I'm thinking now, since you can all be able to surrender without a fight, and we also have masters in the Star Group, there should be a way to repel the threat of the Americans, right?" ”

Director Huang said with a smile: "Boss Liu, you must know that there is a whole country standing behind us, we have strong strength, and naturally we are not afraid of the US aircraft carrier battle group, but you are just a company, and your strength is too weak, so what can you use to repel the US military threat?" ”

Liu Hui smiled: "But I just want to try it and see if we can settle this matter, if we really can't settle this matter at that time, we will naturally ask you for help." ”

Director Huang became anxious all of a sudden, when he came out, those bigwigs in China said that the current Star Group must be cornered, so this time the domestic forces can definitely invest in the Star Group, but he didn't expect Liu Hui to be unmoved at all, as if he was not afraid of the military threat of the US military, which made his plan have some deviations, making the purpose of his trip may not be realized.

And Director Huang also thought of another possibility, that is, whether the Star Group would simply surrender to the US military directly, and then move the Star Group to the United States, so that this problem could be solved once and for all. Thinking of this possibility, Director Huang suddenly became anxious, and he said: "Boss Liu, we can still discuss this matter, if you are not satisfied with the equity......

Liu Hui stretched out his hand to stop him from talking, and said, "Director Huang, I'm a little sleepy, I want to take a break, let's talk about it later!" ”

Director Huang was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Liu Hui to give him an eviction order like this. Not only did he fail his mission this time, but he also dug a huge gap between China and Liu Hui, and this huge gap made the relationship between the two no longer as close as before.

Liu Hui sent away the unwilling Director Huang, and his heart was very uncomfortable. In the past year, his Star Group has contributed so many profits and taxes to the country, created so many jobs, and improved so many national images, but he did not expect that he is still a second-class citizen in the eyes of the country, and it is still not as important as those so-called state-owned enterprises that rely on monopoly management. When the country was in crisis in the Star Group, it did not help with all its might, but also tried to seize the controlling stake of the company from its own hands through the oppression of outsiders, which made Liu Hui feel cold. Today, after seeing Director Huang's face, he finally completely severed the only trace of emotional connection between Liu Hui and China.

"Li Lian, if this Director Huang comes to me again in the future, you can tell him that I am not there." Liu Hui said to Li Lian.

Li Lian responded, not knowing why her boss suddenly didn't want to see Director Huang again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ US Navy's USS Stennis aircraft carrier battle group, which is currently cruising in the Gulf of Aden, quickly withdrew its carrier-based aircraft after receiving an order from the US Department of Defense, and then began to turn around and sail toward the Arabian Sea to the east.

The "Stennis Aircraft Carrier Battle Group" is still 1,500 kilometers away from the Persian Gulf, and if it advances at the fastest speed at night, it will be able to reach the Strait of Hormuz in about 30 hours. Members of the accident investigation team for the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle group formed by the US political axe also boarded the aircraft carrier, and they waited for a detailed investigation of the accident in the Strait of Hormuz.

At this time, not only was the USS Stennis aircraft carrier battle group transferred to the Persian Gulf, but also those US military bases in Middle Eastern countries began to be frequently deployed. All of a sudden, countless U.S. planes and combat units began to make frequent moves between various U.S. military bases, and the target of these movements was the desalination ships of the Star Group in the Persian Gulf. The US military's spy satellites in space have also been transferred to the Middle East, monitoring the desalination ships of the Star Group at all times.

Liu Hui's previous intimidation has already worked, and after uniting the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and other major oil-exporting countries, Saudi Arabia blocked the passage of US troops on land to the Persian Gulf, thinking that this would protect the desalination ships of the Star Group. But what these countries don't know is that the US military has decided to escalate the level of the conflict this time, and they will do whatever it takes to obtain the desalination technology of the Star Group. And in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the offensive line of the US military is not only in the Middle East.

For a while, the U.S. military and the Star Group were both deploying troops, and reinforcements from both sides were still on the way, so for a while, the hot situation on both sides actually calmed down. If it weren't for the fact that the US aircraft carrier battle group and combat planes were heading towards the Persian Gulf with great momentum, everyone would probably think that this is a time of peace and prosperity.

After two days and two nights of non-stop high-speed sailing, the "Starry Sky No. 2" finally arrived in the Strait of Hormuz with a maximum speed of 70 knots, and it began to enter the waters of the Persian Gulf. When the "Starry Sky 2" passed through the Strait of Hormuz, it found many US warships sunk under the sea, and they had maintained radio silence in order to keep secrets, so they did not know that the US aircraft carrier battle group had lost one in the Strait of Hormuz. However, although they were curious about why there were so many American shipwrecks here, they had not forgotten their first task this time, so they continued to march without stopping at all, and finally came to the vicinity of the desalination ship in Dammam Port.

At this time, the "Stennis Aircraft Carrier Battle Group" had just sailed into the Strait of Hormuz, and the accident investigators on the aircraft carrier began to investigate the accident, and at this time, the senior commander of the "Steanis" aircraft carrier battle group learned that his flagship "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier had been completely destroyed in this place.

The US Department of Defense ordered the USS Stennis aircraft carrier battle group to stay in the Strait of Hormuz and wait for the end of the transfer of US forces in other quarters before it began to attack the desalination ships of the Star Group, and at the same time asked them to pay attention to safety and avoid repeating the mistake of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group.

"Star 2" began to contact the desalination ship of the Star Group through a specific frequency band, and then they surfaced when the sky was completely dark, and this 50,000-ton super submarine finally revealed its huge body to the world. This amazed the employees who were ready to carry the cargo on the desalination ship, and they were all proud that Star Group had such a large submarine.

After explaining some of Liu Hui's arrangements to Ah Huo, he began to direct the personnel to carry the various equipment and supplies brought by the "Star No. 2" specially for the desalination ship. After a busy transportation for most of the night, they finally loaded all the equipment and supplies onto the desalination ship, and the "Star 2" dived back into the seawater.

At this time, there was another guest on the desalination boat, and this guest was Zhou Tengyun. After Zhou Tengyun received a call from Liu Hui at the African base, he immediately arranged for several highly skilled subordinates to rush from Africa to the Persian Gulf with him overnight, and finally arrived on the desalination ship this evening.

After seeing Zhou Tengyun, they immediately entered a room, and after some discussion, they brought out the two American soldiers who had been captured by the desalination ship.

The injuries on the two captured American soldiers were not serious at all, but the experience of being captured made them very scared, and they didn't know what their fate would be, so their spirits looked a little sluggish. However, in the past two days, in addition to someone coming to treat their injuries, it is the food supply on time every day. There was no one to interrogate them, which made them more and more uneasy about their fate.

When the two soldiers were brought up by Zhou Tengyun and Victory, they finally knew that the time had come to decide their fate.

Zhou Tengyun has become more and more murderous recently, and it makes people scared at first glance. And Victorious has been engaged in intelligence work for a long time, and his face is also very gloomy. The two of them sat down at the table, and the mere appearance made the two American soldiers shiver and their hearts beat with their hearts.

As soon as Zhou Tengyun and Desheng sat down, someone immediately put two cameras in front of the two American soldiers, and the two cameras were fixed and pointed at the two soldiers. Then, with a wave of his hand, a man wearing a mask walked in, and the man took out two injections and injected them into the two American soldiers under their horrified gaze.

"God, what the hell did you inject us?" One soldier shouted, while the other was a little timid, keeping his head down and not daring to speak.
