Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 394: Destroy Skeletons

When Xie Jianwei shouted the word "launch", Lu Shaohua concentrated all his mental strength and stared at the larger screen hanging on the wall. He saw a rocket-like missile flying up at supersonic speed. The camera kept capturing the scene, which was changing until finally, buildings appeared in front of him. The camera also got closer and closer. The missile landed and hit the target, stirring up a cloud of smoke. Although Lu Shaohua could not hear the "bang", in his heart, he had already heard a "bang" when the missile hit the target.

There were two missiles, divided into two screens. Lu Shaohua watched the movements of the other missile without any hesitation, and only focused on one. When the first missile hit the target, he quickly shifted his gaze and looked at a slightly smaller screen, which was exactly the moment when the missile hit the target.

Deep in his heart, there was another "bang" sound, and a faint smile finally appeared on Lu Shaohua's face. He was happy, happy that the missile hit the target and did not deviate. As long as it hit the target, it meant that the Skeleton Mercenary Group was successfully destroyed.

Everyone in the main control room stopped their actions. When the missile hit the target, they smiled slightly, but they were not overjoyed. For them, launching a missile and hitting the target was not something that made them feel accomplished. On the contrary, if it did not hit the target, it would be an insult to them, because this high-tech thing has a positioning system. If it did not hit the target, it only meant that they made a mistake in their operation, which was a dereliction of duty.

The missile was launched and hit the target. Lu Shaohua didn't have much attachment to the main control room. He turned around and heard Xie Jianwei giving orders to the crew, and it seemed that he was about to leave the control room and go outside. Lu Shaohua simply followed Xie Jianwei and left.

The plan to attack the Skeleton Mercenary Group was the same as that to attack the Falcon Mercenary Group. After the two missiles were launched, Lu Shaohua could fully imagine what was happening over there. As to whether they could win the war, Lu Shaohua already had the answer in his mind.

When he came outside, the twenty fighter planes and ten bombers had disappeared without a trace. Xie Jianwei breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was finally at ease.

"The number of aircraft at the base is still a little too few." Standing side by side with Xie Jianwei, Lu Shaohui seemed to be talking to himself.

Xie Jianwei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed with Lu Shaohua, saying, "The number is a bit small, but many projects in the secret base are being launched, and the funds cannot be withdrawn. We can save hundreds of thousands of dollars if we can, and we can only maintain the status quo for now."

Lu Shaohua has invested more than 100 billion US dollars in this base in Africa, but scientific research is too costly, like a bottomless pit, swallowing up as much as invested. Xie Jianwei and his colleagues are too embarrassed to ask Lu Shaohua for more money, so they can only tighten their belts to make ends meet.

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua frowned. He didn't expect it to be a funding issue, but he was relieved after thinking about it. After all, there are too many projects launched in the secret base. In addition, the food and drink of nearly 10,000 people in the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group also cost money. It is normal to spend money quickly. "I will ask someone to transfer another 40 billion US dollars. The safety of the base cannot be compromised. Other projects can be stopped if necessary, but the defense force of the base cannot be reduced."

Lu Shaohua asked for 40 billion US dollars right away, but he had the ability to do so. Not long ago, when he blocked the British pound, Lu Shaohua earned more than 38 billion US dollars. It would be no problem for him to add another 2 billion US dollars to make up the 40 billion.

What do you use the money for? If you ask Lu Shaohua to answer, he will definitely answer that he earns money to spend, but Lu Shaohua spends money differently from others. He spends it on building his own career and his own dreams, so he will not feel bad no matter how much money he spends. Even if he invests all his savings, he will not blink an eye.

What's more, the returns of investing these in the future will be several times, dozens or even hundreds of times higher than the investment, so Lu Shaohua will not worry about anything at all.

Hearing this, Xie Jianwei was delighted and indescribably excited.

Xie Jianwei has been in charge of the secret base for a while. As the saying goes, you don't know how expensive oil, salt, firewood and rice are until you run the household. Xie Jianwei knows that the secret base is short of money. Now, his unintentional words have won 40 billion US dollars in funds. How can he not be happy?

However, joy came and went quickly. When Xie Jianwei remembered that Hong Kong and Shenzhen also needed investment, he became embarrassed. He moved his lips to say something, but no words came out.

It's not that Xie Jianwei didn't say it, but he didn't have the chance to say it, because when he was about to speak, Lu Shaohua interrupted him and said first. "Money is not a problem, there should be no problem over there."

Lu Shaohua was not in charge of finances. He knew the flow of funds because Liu Mingzhang gave him the statistical data at the end of the year. However, this year was an exception. There were too many projects this year and the investment was relatively large. Lu Shaohua still doesn't know how much of the 420 billion yuan he made in the Japanese stock market crash is left.

However, Lu Shaohua is not worried, because in a short time, the base will be self-sufficient. The 40 billion US dollars should be the last sum of funds, and the rest of the money will be invested in domestic and future projects.

"With these 40 billion US dollars, we will have sufficient funds," said Xie Jianwei.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua responded, but did not continue talking. Instead, he changed the subject and started gossiping. "You are not young anymore. If you have a partner, get married quickly. Oh, if you feel that you are not suitable to stay here after marriage, you can also return to China to work."

"It's still early." Xie Jianwei shook his head and said, "Even if I get married, I won't leave here. I like the atmosphere here."

"It's up to you. Just tell me what your plans are. I will do whatever I can." After saying that, Lu Shaohua turned around and left.

Over the years, whether it was Li Zhijie or Xie Jianwei, they had given so much for their base. Lu Shaohua could not repay them with words, and could only compensate them within his ability in the future.

Watching Lu Shaohua's receding back, Xie Jianwei did not doubt that Lu Shaohua was bragging. He believed that every word Lu Shaohua said was very credible and that he would definitely do what he said. If Xie Jianwei said now that he wanted money, as long as it was not tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars, Lu Shaohua would probably give it to him without even asking.

Lu Shaohua left, leaving with concern in his heart, and walked back to his room. He sat on the sofa and thought about things. It was not until lunch time that Lu Shaohua came to his senses, ate something casually, and then ran back to the meeting room to wait for Li Zhijie and others to come back.

The missile launch at around nine or ten in the morning meant that the battle had officially begun. Now more than two hours have passed, and the battle should be over. Li Zhijie, Chen Guobang and others should have returned.

Sure enough, not long after, Li Zhijie, Chen Guobang and a large group of people came back, fully equipped and walked into the conference room with a strong murderous aura. Lu Shaohua could see excitement on their faces.

"Is it over?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"It's over." Chen Guobang nodded in response.

Chen Guobang smiled in return, and Lu Shaohua continued, "You two should go and have a rest first, Brother Zhijie, you stay."

Chen Guobang and others nodded, left the room and went back to their rooms to rest.

When everyone had left and there were only two of them left in the conference room, Young Master Lu spoke again. "Still victorious?"

"Yeah. It's a great victory, much more successful than hunting falcons." Li Zhijie said easily.

"Are there heavy casualties?" Lu Shaohua asked again.

“The statistics haven’t been released yet, but it shouldn’t be that big, at least much less than last time,” said Li Zhijie.

"That's good!" Lu Shaohua sighed, and after a moment of silence, he responded and waved his hand. "You should go and rest too."

"Ok."

Li Zhijie also left, and only one person was left in the meeting room. However, Lu Shaohua did not sit there for long. Soon, he also left the meeting room and walked towards the camp of the Tiger Roar Mercenaries.

After the battle, except for those who stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, the main force would withdraw some personnel, and then those who transported supplies would come back one after another. Qian Qian, the current leader of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, should be the last group to return.

Arriving at the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group camp, Lu Shaohua saw Xie Jianwei directing operations in front of the building. He walked over and found that Xie Jianwei was directing people to move guns into a large warehouse, and he kept saying something.

Lu Shaohua didn't understand the African language, but he could probably guess what Xie Jianwei was yelling, which was nothing more than asking him to speed up.

"Is it almost done?" Lu Shaohua came to Xie Jianwei and asked.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua's silent words startled Xie Jianwei. When he turned around and saw that it was Lu Shaohua, he smiled stiffly and said, "Almost."

"Let's find someone to command here. You should go to the headquarters." Lu Shaohua said calmly.

I don't know why, but Lu Shaohua always felt that it was inappropriate for Xie Jianwei to command here now. It was not because he could not command since he was not the regiment commander now, but he felt that Xie Jianwei was not qualified to command here and should go to the headquarters to arrange important matters.

"Okay." Actually, Xie Jianwei also came here to check out the situation and would go back to the headquarters building in a while. Now, after hearing what Lu Shaohua said, he didn't want to stay here anymore. He called over the newly appointed deputy leader of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, gave him some instructions, and then followed Lu Shaohua back to the headquarters building.

In the headquarters building, in addition to some wounded people being sent here for treatment, important items seized from the Skeleton Mercenary Corps will also be sent here. Lu Shaohua is worried about these things passing through other people's hands, so he thought of asking Xie Jianwei to come here to look after them.

The supplies returned with the personnel who cleaned up the battlefield, and they were full of military supplies. It can be said that they had gained a lot. Qian Qian also returned with a large truck of important supplies. At this point, the battle against the Skeleton Mercenaries was officially over.
