City of Santa Pau, Administrative Office.
After dealing with his son's body, Huo Dongsheng brought Huang Peishan and a dozen or so Chinese workers' entourage to the Municipal Administrative Hall.
At this time, there were still many staff members in the administrative office. They were accustomed to Huo Dongsheng's arrival and continued to work with their heads down. Only one clerk quietly picked up the landline and made a call. Huo Dongsheng and his team took the elevator all the way to the third floor and then headed for the director's office.
Huo Dongsheng personally brought people here to meet with General Gustav to discuss how to deal with the Wang family’s armed forces.
The Chinese Workers' Union is divided into two major parts: administration and armed forces. The armed department has always been controlled by the Wang family, while Huo Dongsheng and his team are in charge of the administration. Although they also have a number of people under them, it is obviously not as many as those of the Wang family.
If you want to take over Wang Xiao's 5,000-man army, you must rely on external forces, that is, the officials of Shengbao City. The administrative faction is definitely stronger in interpersonal communication and network energy expansion.
General Gustav holds the military and political power of São Paulo, which is equivalent to the local warlord regime, and its size far exceeds the surrounding armed regimes. But in a horizontal comparison, he is much inferior to the Bernardo family in Pana City, because it is relatively poor and the territory is relatively small. In addition, South America has been waging wars, so the development of São Paulo is also relatively limited.
But at this moment, as long as Gustav sent out troops, it would certainly not be a problem to quickly suppress the royal armed forces.
But just now, Huang Peishan looked for Gustav twice but didn't see him, and the phone call to the office of the Director General of the Administrative Department was also unsuccessful.
The situation in Shengbao City is complicated now, and Huo Dongsheng can't afford to delay, so he has to go there in person.
Just as they were about to reach the office, the general secretary came over and blocked their way: "President Huo, our general is not here, please go back first."
Huo Dongsheng frowned slightly. He understood what Gustav, the old fox, was thinking. So he told his secretary directly, "Tell the general manager that I know why he is avoiding me. I came with sincerity. No matter what price he offers, we can negotiate."
Unexpectedly, the secretary did not give in. Instead, he smiled at Huo Dongsheng and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, the general manager is really not here. He is receiving some distinguished guests. When he is done, he will see you."
After saying that, the secretary politely bowed slightly to Huo Dongsheng, then turned and left.
Huo Dongsheng did not leave. He stood there with his hands behind his back, lost in thought.
Huang Peishan thought for a moment and reminded softly: "Maybe... the offer we gave doesn't meet Lao Gu's goal."
Huo Dongsheng nodded. He had figured out Gustav's intention of keeping people at a distance. As a warlord in Shengbao City, Gustav was not short of money, so he might not be able to give him what he needed.
Thinking of this, Huo Dongsheng took out his cell phone, walked to a secluded place, and called Gwen.
"Hello?" Gwen's voice came from the phone.
"The other side will attack us soon." Huo Dongsheng said directly: "If we don't move, they will. Now you must find a way to get the military and political departments of Shengbao City to support me and let them send troops to take over Wang Xiao's 5,000 people. Only in this way can we stabilize the situation. This is very important to us... and to you too."
“…” Gwen was silent for a while on the phone, then said, “I understand.”
…
Outside of Santa Paula.
In the dense tropical jungle, the leaves are connected together, covering the sky.
"rustle!"
There was a sound of footsteps. Wang Xiao, covered in dust, was walking through the woods with difficulty, pushing aside the surrounding branches with his two men.
Wang Xiao and his companions had just escaped death. If Jiang Zhou had not called him in time to remind him that Huo Dongsheng was about to do it, he might have been stuck at the airport by now.
The group abandoned the car and fled directly through the large wilderness next to the airport, passing through the dense forest all the way until they got here.
After walking for a long time, there was no signal on the phone and Wang Xiao couldn't contact the outside world.
Both brothers were very tired, but fortunately they were already some distance away from the city and surrounded by tropical rainforest. Even if the other party wanted to search, it would be difficult to find the three people in the forest.
After walking for a while, the subordinate next to him suddenly shouted with a mobile phone: "Minister Wang, there is a signal!"
Wang Xiao immediately took out his cell phone and checked it. Sure enough, there was a weak signal. He quickly found Jiang Zhou's phone number and tried to call him.
“Beep…beep…”
The call was connected and Wang Xiao held his breath.
"Hello?" Jiang Zhou answered the phone: "Where are you now?"
"I've already escaped!" Wang Xiao turned his head and looked around, frowning and replied, "We are in the dense forest on the south side of Shengbao City."
"I'm glad you're safe." Jiang Zhou also breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Wang Xiao: "They may attack your armed personnel, don't hide, you need to return to the army and take charge of the situation now."
Wang Xiao was silent for a while, then said, "I walk too slowly."
"Then let's do this." Jiang Zhou said, "Contact Su Tianyu right now. He also has connections in Shengbao City. He will send you back."
"Okay." Wang Xiao nodded, hung up the phone and started contacting Su Tianyu.
…
City of Santa Paula, Office of the Chief Executive.
The office is very spacious, with an area of about three to four hundred square meters. The furniture in the room is all made of solid wood. The thick carpet on the floor alone is worth a lot of money.
On the wall next to it are hung wild animal skull specimens, whether it is a swamp deer or a mountain lion, you can see them on the wall, and on the other wall are hung various rare hunting rifles, each of which can be sold at a high price in the collector's market.
Judging from the decoration of this room, Gustav's life details and tastes are full of warlord temperament and he does not look like a politician at all.
Gustav was sitting on the sofa, reading a book with a pair of reading glasses. He was about sixty years old and thin. Sitting under the light, he looked gentle and refined, which seemed a little out of place with the decorations on the wall.
At this moment, the door was knocked open and the secretary walked in. He bowed slightly to Gustav and said, "Mr. Chief, someone from District 1 contacted us and wants to talk to you directly."
Gustav did not even raise his head, continued to read the book, and asked softly, "Who?"
"The director of the Fifth Department of the Central Bureau." The secretary replied.
Gustav didn't even raise his head: "This person is not qualified to talk to me. How about this, you tell him directly that you can ask me to send troops, but... I want 500 million in military equipment."
