There was silence in the conference room for a while.
Li Tianlan said that he might see Wang Tianzong tonight.
Everyone knows what this sentence means.
In today's era, the name Wang Tianzong brings almost suffocating pressure to everyone.
No one wants to be Wang Tianzong's enemy.
But the general trend is such that there is no choice at all.
Li Tianlan tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously and was silent for a long time.
Until a voice sounded.
"Your Highness, what should other forces do?"
The person who spoke was Sun Mengran, the deputy commander of the Thunder Division. He was at the same level as Li Zonghu in the Border Guard Corps. He was very low-key in the Xuewu Corps. He was Li Zonghu's deputy with peace of mind. He was usually reticent, but when he opened his mouth, he was immediately attracted. got everyone's attention.
"Other forces."
Li Tianlan repeated a sentence, not a question.
"The Society of Heroes, the Throne of Shadows, the Men in Black, the Dark Knights, the Holy See, and the Fantasy World."
Sun Mengran said: "These are the biggest forces. In addition, intelligence shows that the Morton family and the Violet family are also preparing to make a move. As for the forces that have secretly sneaked into Leji City, there are countless forces. In the nearest Leji City, we are very It is low-key, but the activities of major forces are very frequent."
Li Tianlan nodded and suddenly looked at President Rick: "Are the top leaders stable?"
Rick thought about it seriously for a while. This question was very serious. A bad answer would lead to serious consequences. Rick went through all the senior officials in his mind, and then said: "There will be no problem for the time being." .”
Nowadays, except for Prime Minister Rick, who is clearly standing by Li Tianlan's side, the top leaders of Ulan Kingdom have a more subtle attitude. They may not be 100% loyal to Zhongzhou, but they will not be won over by other forces in a short time. Now Li Tianlan After waking up, this possibility is even lower, but whether the top management of Ulan Kingdom will change their stance depends on Li Tianlan's actions after waking up.
"For the time being... well, for the time being..."
Li Tianlan nodded: "In other words, if time passes, the top management will become unstable? In this case, then..."
A knock on the door suddenly sounded.
The sleepy Dongcheng Ru walked into the conference room.
She rubbed her eyes, held the mobile phone in her hand, and whispered: "Phone."
She walked up to Li Tianlan. In public, her title was also very formal: "Minister Dongcheng's."
Li Tianlan's heart moved slightly, he took the phone and stood up, walking towards the door of the conference room.
When he was about to go out, he suddenly turned around, looked at Qin Xilai and asked, "What did the Qin people say?"
"We will do our best to stop the power of Morton and the Violet Family."
Qin Xilai responded in a calm voice.
This is undoubtedly a very difficult task. Both the Violet and Morton families have invincible masters in charge, and their resources are by no means comparable to that of Lakevia, which is the weakest. If the two families enter Leiki City with their skills, the Qin family will It is indeed difficult to resist alone, but under the current circumstances, only the Qin family is responsible for stopping Violet and the Morton family.
Li Tianlan thought for a while and glanced at the conference room.
There was no figure in the conference room, the current second-in-command in Ulan Kingdom, the new patriarch of Rekovia, Tostel.
"Contact the Rekovian family."
Li Tianlan said.
Qin Xilai nodded, but his expression was not relaxed at all.
This is what many people want to say but never say.
With Li Tianlan taking over Ulan Kingdom and Lakevia, the position of Tostel, the new leader of the Lakevia family, can be said to be very firm. However, Lakevia's highest full-power change is not a matter of course. Zink After the death of the patriarch, the entire Rekivia family was in turmoil. Tostel's move was just to take advantage of the opportunity, and may not be able to truly bear the burden. Now as major forces have entered Reki City, as the former leader of Ulan Kingdom Lord, the Rekovian family is naturally the target of all forces to win over. Tostel's position remains unchanged, but no one is sure what the other powerful figures in the Rekovian family think now.
It's impossible for Li Tianlan not to know this.
But he still wants to bring the Rekovian family to the side of the Qin clan, which shows that his thinking is still very clear. Before fighting against foreigners, he must first settle his own affairs. Li Tianlan's actions seem to indicate that he is about to take action against the Rekovian family.
A clean-up Lakevia may be greatly reduced in strength, but the foundation of the four major families in Eastern Europe lies here. If Lakevia fully cooperates with the Qin Clan, the Qin Clan will also become weaker in the face of the Violet Family and the Morton Family. Easier.
"Also, make an appointment for me to meet the Holy See Saint Angel and Aresis."
Li Tianlan continued.
"Just leave this matter to me."
Qingfeng said.
Li Tianlan glanced at him and suddenly remembered the rumors between Jie and Angel.
He nodded thoughtfully and continued: "Finally, in the name of the Snow Dance Legion, send a notice to all the major forces. I don't care whether they are heroes or men in black. One week, I will give them one week." Time, all forces must get out of Leki City within a week, otherwise I don’t mind taking the Snow Dance Legion to have a heart-to-heart talk with them.”
The atmosphere in the conference room exploded with a bang.
Li Zonghu laughed heartily and beamed with joy.
Even Prime Minister Rick's face flashed with a blush of excitement.
Let all the dark forces get out of Leki City within a week.
Where is the notification? Totally a final warning.
It is indeed a good thing to think about following such a marshal.
Li Tianlan remained calm.
There was no wave in his heart.
In his opinion, Leki City is already his territory, and all the major forces are not welcome guests to him, so it is completely natural for them to get out.
He turned around and walked out of the conference room and went directly to the study room of the Presidential Palace.
The study room had not been used since Carlos died, but it was very clean. Li Tianlan turned on the screen in the study room, connected his phone, and sent a video to Dongcheng Wudi.
Dongcheng Wudi has been waiting for Li Tianlan's call.
As soon as Li Tianlan's video was dialed, the smiling face of the former Central Continent God of Killing had already appeared in front of Li Tianlan.
"Commander."
Li Tianlan raised his hands in salute solemnly.
"This kid, why are you so polite?"
Dongcheng Wudi squinted his eyes and smiled. Looking at the energetic Li Tianlan, his smile was pleasant and satisfied: "How is the injury?"
"Okay, it's almost done. It won't affect combat effectiveness."
Li Tianlan told the truth that his injuries were still a short distance away from being completely healed, but with one of the wind and thunder veins in a half-disabled state, his speed, strength and sword intent were barely compatible.
In other words, if Li Tianlan does not pursue the ultimate perfection, after his injury recovers, he can already give up this wind and thunder vein and use a single wind and thunder double pulse to hit the invincible realm. In this state, Li Tianlan's potential may be reduced, but The actual combat effectiveness is slightly stronger than before the injury.
"That's good."
Dongcheng Wudi nodded. He looked at Li Tianlan, who was wearing a military uniform and was calm and composed in the video. His eyes were a little dazed, as if he had remembered something.
"You handled the situation in Ulan Kingdom very well. It couldn't be more perfect."
Dongcheng Wudi's voice became gentler, with unabashed appreciation in his words.
"Talked to Rick?"
Li Tianlan nodded and asked.
Before he fell into coma, he asked for compensation from Ulan Country and an apology from Rick. In fact, all these demands were nothing.
What really matters is the negotiation between Middle-earth and Ulan.
Compared with his demands, from the perspective of Ulan Kingdom, Rick's negotiations with Zhongzhou are truly a loss of power and humiliation to the country. These four words can also reveal from the side the benefits that Zhongzhou will receive.
Although Li Tianlan can represent Zhongzhou, he is not good at this kind of negotiation.
Prime Minister Rick killed Carlos, and Rekova walked into the arms of Central Continent. Under this situation, the bottom line of Ulan Country has been lowered to the point where there is no bottom line. How to squeeze out the benefits of Ulan Country to the greatest extent, in this way He naturally left the question to the senior officials of Zhongzhou.
It has been the tenth day since he was in coma. By this time, the negotiations between Zhongzhou and Ulan Kingdom should have been settled long ago.
"We talked about it."
Dongcheng Wudi's smile grew stronger: "Rick has agreed to share all the resources of the Ulan Kingdom with Zhongzhou, as well as provide a permanent garrison base, and an indemnity of trillions of Zhongzhou coins. In addition, the political stance of the Ulan Kingdom Major adjustments have also been made, and since then it has begun to tilt towards Central Continent. The treaty will be signed soon. After the signing of the treaty, citizens of Central Continent do not need to apply to immigrate to Ulan, and people between the two countries can marry freely... "
His smile was a little weird: "There are so many beauties in Ulan Country. You, boy, have created benefits for the single young men in the Border Guard Corps."
Li Tianlan took a deep breath and wanted to laugh, but was too shocked to speak.
Let’s not talk about other conditions, but the first one is terrifying enough.
Share all resources of Ulan with Middle Continent.
And it is shared without conditions.
Ulan is a resource-rich country. They have a land area second only to Snow Country in Europe and about the same size as France. They are rich in more than just beauties. This fertile land is almost full of resources, including oil, natural gas, and a large number of minerals. , metals, and most importantly grains...
These are shared with Zhongzhou, what does that mean
If the two countries can freely intermarry, in a hundred years, who can be sure that the people walking in the streets and alleys of Ulan Kingdom are people from Zhongzhou or Ulan Kingdom
"you understood?"
Dongcheng Wudi asked with a smile.
Li Tianlan nodded silently, not knowing how to express his feelings for a while.
"Ulan Country has always been a worry for Zhongzhou. This time you solved Ulan Country's problem. We got back all our investment in Ulan Country at once. Now the entire Ulan Country has a bearing on Central Continent's next hundred years. The development and all this situation are all thanks to you, Tianlan, this is a real great achievement. On behalf of Zhongzhou, I would like to say thank you to you and the Li family."
Dongcheng Wudi's expression gradually became serious.
He stood up and saluted Li Tianlan with a solemn expression.
Li Tianlan smiled bitterly and shook his head in return. After a moment of silence, he asked, "When will the treaty be signed?"
"The time is set for a week later. You will definitely be present then. On the Central Continent side, President Li Huacheng will arrive in Ulan in person to sign a treaty with Prime Minister Rick. You must protect the safety of Mr. President then."
Dongcheng Wudi said slowly.
Li Tianlan nodded and said yes.
Dongcheng Wudi sat down and lit a cigarette, and said calmly: "One more thing, there is a large inspection group following the president. I will send you the list later. There are many people, you can contact them, so I know them all, and she will introduce them to you then."
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment and looked at Dongcheng Wudi's expression carefully.
The screen in front of him was very clear. Across the screen and thousands of mountains and rivers, Li Tianlan could vaguely see the faint tiredness and joy in Dongcheng Wudi's eyes.
"Commander..."
At this moment, Li Tianlan really had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't express them.
Even a fool can understand the meaning of Dongcheng Wudi's words.
The Ulan Kingdom was conquered by Li Tianlan and the Xuewu Legion.
Li Tianlan was a candidate strongly supported by the wealthy group. The most elite troops under Dongcheng Wudi's command were left to Li Tianlan except for the part that had to be traded away due to the general trend.
This time when Li Tianlan entered Eastern Europe, the wealthy group took on unprecedented risks, and its investments were also unprecedented.
Now Li Tianlan conquered Ulan Kingdom.
When it comes time to share the results of victory, most of such a big piece of cake will naturally belong to wealthy groups.
This is Li Tianlan's Ulan Kingdom, the Ulan Kingdom of Central Continent, and also the Ulan Kingdom of the wealthy group.
This is naked interest.
This is naturally the reason why the Ulan Kingdom can make the mighty Sword Emperor Wang Tianzong unable to let go.
Under the current situation, whoever occupies the Ulan State is qualified to carve up the interests of the Ulan State.
Li Tianlan is already supreme in Ulan Kingdom.
The wealthy group naturally became the biggest winner.
Other groups may also be interested, but to put it bluntly, they are not qualified.
Even if he bites the bullet and gets involved forcefully, Li Tianlan is still here, and the interests are in his hands. Whoever he wants to give it to is just a matter of his words.
So Li Tianlan could imagine the stance of the inspection team that followed Li Huacheng to Ulan Country.
Maybe not everyone in the inspection team belongs to a wealthy group.
But the vast majority of people must belong to wealthy groups.
This is the most basic rule.
Li Tianlan is in Ulan Country, and this is the feast that Li Tianlan strives for for the wealthy group.
This is his return to the wealthy group and the Dongcheng family.
But now Dongcheng Wudi wants to give this list to Li Tianlan, and even wants Li Tianlan to have more contact with these people accompanied by Dongcheng Ruzhi.
The meaning of this sentence is very obscure.
But it's also clear.
This is to...
Take over
Take over the entire wealthy group in place of Dongcheng Wudi
Li Tianlan felt complicated inside.
If all this goes well, when the chaos in Eastern Europe ends and he returns to Central Continent, he will become the most powerful person in Central Continent, whether he is still the marshal of the Snow Dance Legion or not.
One of the leaders of the six major groups in Zhongzhou. What is his identity
"Commander, I... I don't seem to be mentally prepared for this."
Li Tianlan was silent for a long time before he spoke dryly.
"it does not matter."
Dongcheng Wudi laughed. No matter internal or external, from the Dark World to the Central Continent Military Headquarters, the impression left by Central Continent’s commander Dongcheng Wudi to everyone is that he is calm, majestic, energetic, decisive in killing, and iron-blooded and tough. This is Dongcheng Invincible in everyone's impression.
But now with his smile, Li Tianlan could clearly feel the age and warmth under Dongcheng's invincible smile.
"Tianlan, this is a great opportunity. If Eastern Europe is a cake, you are the cake maker. Everyone who wants to eat the cake must look at your face. When they want something from you, you are undoubtedly the best person to contact. , you will take control of a wealthy group in the future, now is the best opportunity to integrate, and what you have to do is not only integrate, but also lead, you must make them feel that when you enter a wealthy group, you are their leader."
"Don't worry, the wealthy group is very big and loose. Those who followed the president to Ulan this time can be said to be direct descendants of our three families. If they recognize me, they will recognize you. You may not be ready to pick me up now. class, but it’s also time to leave an impression on them.”
"I'll help him."
Dongcheng's voice sounded clean and clear.
Dongcheng Wudi looked at Dongcheng Rusuo, then at Li Tianlan, and finally couldn't help laughing.
His laughter was gratifying and hearty, like a spring rain falling in Li Tianlan's heart, moistening everything silently.
"The list will be sent to you immediately."
Dongcheng Wudi smiled and said: "Tianlan, you and I don't have to be polite and don't say thank you. I don't like to hear it. We all think highly of you and Ru Shi. Treat her well and she will help you when you need it."
Li Tianlan nodded with a complicated heart.
He had already thought about this day coming, even during the final exercise at Sky Academy.
But he never thought that this day would come so soon.
Dongcheng Wudi couldn't wait to send the wealthy group to him, give him a powerful position, and let him rise.
If all this is Dongcheng's dowry, then this dowry would be too generous.
And Dongcheng Wudi said something about us.
This "we" obviously does not refer to the elders of the Dongcheng family.
But they are the three pillar families of the wealthy group.
Dongcheng, Zou family, Bai family.
Although the relationship between the three families was very close, Li Tianlan couldn't figure out why the Dongcheng family recognized him and the other two families recognized him, so much so that when the Dongcheng family wanted to hand over the wealthy group to his hands, he didn't even hear a word from the two families. If you object.
Is this wealthy group really so grand
The call, destined to have far-reaching consequences, ended in silence.
In the military office, Dongcheng Wudi put out the cigarette butt in his hand, still with an unconcealable smile on his face.
"Will Tian Lan take over?"
General Bai Qingchao, deputy secretary-general of the military department, asked softly.
There was no objection in his tone, just a slight hesitation: "Are you too hasty?"
"Not urgent."
Dongcheng Wudi shook his head: "This is the best opportunity right now."
"The opportunity is good, but if you do this, aren't you afraid of irritating Wang Tianzong and Gu Xingyun? Even the Prince Group can't sit still, right?"
Bai Qingchao said.
Dongcheng Wudi was silent for a while and shook his head: "It doesn't matter."
He said slowly: "Even if I don't stimulate them, they will still do whatever they want to do. These so-called stimulations will not affect any of their decisions at all. And... no matter what, Tianlan will win. of."
"What if?"
Bai Qingchao lowered his head and took a long drag on his cigarette, his voice a little muffled.
Dongcheng Wudi was silent for a while and said calmly: "If something happens, I will resign as the permanent minister of the military department."
Bai Qingchao was stunned for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile: "You think it's too simple, how can it be so simple?"
"It's not necessarily difficult. The key is that I never thought about this eventuality."
Dongcheng Wudi looked at his uncle and said calmly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
... ...
It wasn't until Dongcheng pulled Li Tianlan's hand that Li Tianlan suddenly reacted.
The video in front of me has long been hung up.
Dongcheng stood beside him, stared into his eyes, and said softly: "Are you unhappy? Why?"
"How could you be unhappy?"
Li Tianlan stretched out his hand and pinched Dongcheng's delicate little nose: "I just couldn't turn around for a while. It's hard for me to describe my current mood. In short... it's very complicated."
"It's fine."
Dongcheng held Li Tianlan's hand like this: "I will help you."
Li Tianlan smiled and was about to speak when someone suddenly knocked on the study door.
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows and said come in.
The door was pushed open.
Prime Minister Rick walked in with a calm face and said respectfully: "Your Highness."
Li Tianlan nodded and said in surprise: "Is something wrong?"
"Carlos' wife and daughter are dead."
Rick reported softly.
Li Tianlan froze on the spot. After a while, he said, "Huh?"
"There was a fire in their temporary home and after investigation it was determined to be an accident."
Rick's tone was a little erratic.
Li Tianlan said oh, his tone also a little erratic.
Carlos's family had been living in the presidential palace before. After Carlos died, they all moved out. It only took a few days...
"Take care of his..."
Li Tianlan was halfway through speaking when he suddenly found that he couldn't continue.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Rick, who had a stiff face, and didn't speak for a long time.
Rick continued with his smooth voice: "Your Highness, Carlos has no family members anymore. He has a younger brother doing business in Ulan. A week ago, we discovered that he was suspected of serious tax evasion and were summoning him. During the incident, his bodyguards resisted with guns, and then he tried to flee to England with his family, and three members of his family were shot dead on the spot."
"Carlos's mother couldn't bear the blow. She suffered a heart attack and died five days ago."
"Today is the funeral of Carlos' mother. After the funeral, Carlos' wife and daughter also had an accident... "
His voice was calm, as if he was giving a work report.
But Li Tianlan's face gradually turned pale.
He didn't think he was being merciful.
But after the brutal game, the outcome of the victory was presented so clearly and brutally to him for the first time, and the impact on him was extremely severe.
My brother's family of three, his wife, daughter, mother...
With Carlos' death, the world was completely torn apart.
Cruel and cold, without any warmth.
Li Tianlan suddenly felt a little scared.
Because he thought of himself.
He was certain that if he failed in Eastern Europe and died in Leki City or anywhere in Eastern Europe, then the Li family and everyone in the Dongcheng family would end up even more miserable than the Carlos family.
This includes Dongcheng Wudi, Dongcheng Ruzhi, Bai Qingqian and everyone else!
The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous.
People who stand at high places often carry too much.
So Li Tianlan can't lose!
He stood next to Dongcheng Rusi, his body trembling slightly.
But his somewhat pale face looked at Rick expressionlessly.
Rick's head dropped, lower and lower.
I don't know how long it took before Li Tianlan nodded and said expressionlessly: "I understand, you can go out."
Rick bowed deeply to Li Tianlan and turned to leave.
When he reached the door, Li Tianlan suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
Rick turned around and looked at Li Tianlan with some confusion.
Then he heard Li Tianlan's question.
"How many more troops can you mobilize in Leki City?"
