Panama, conference room.
After Su Tianyu finished talking to Wang Xiao, he urgently contacted Jin Maohui, Boang and others and gathered them in the conference room for a meeting.
At first, when everyone heard that Jiangzhou was going to send Lao Li's team, everyone was very happy. But when they thought about how to rescue Wang's armed forces, everyone became annoyed again.
The conference room was filled with smoke. After talking for a long time, everyone still hadn't come up with the most suitable solution.
"The opportunity is right at our fingertips." Su Tianyu looked at everyone and said, "Huo Dongsheng's son is gone too. We can't let a warlord close the door again."
"The question is, how do we move?" Jin Maohui said while smoking a cigarette with a worried look on his face, "Our people are a little far away from Santa Pau now. We have to go to Cabo San Paolo first and then to Santa Pau, so we have to rush. In comparison, if Gustav decides to support Huo Dongsheng, then they will definitely move faster than us. Maybe before we get there, they will have already finished their work. And even if we get there before they do, how can we fight? Santa Pau is an independent regime after all, and it has some international reputation. We have no reason to enter their defense zone. If we have to bring the army to fight, wouldn't that be an invasion? It's not worth it for a Chinese worker to be accused of actively provoking a war."
When Jin Maohui listed all the troubles, everyone felt anxious and upset.
Su Tianyu glanced at his watch. There was not much time left for everyone to think about the details. He pondered for a while, stood up and ordered: "Let's do this. I'll think of a way to rescue them. But you must immediately take the troops to the port, requisition cargo ships, go upstream from the canal, pass through the city of Canada, take the fastest route to St. Paul, and then assemble outside St. Paul. The Blackwater Corps will serve as the main force and set off first."
"Okay!" Jin Maohui immediately stood up and responded.
"I'll arrange it right away." Boang pushed his wheelchair and left with Jin Maohui.
…
Longcheng, Yu Mingyuan’s villa.
Yu Mingyuan sat in the study, looking at the intelligence information sent to him from all sides. After going over it in his mind, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Su Tianyu's number.
"Hello?" Su Tianyu's voice rang out.
"Has the Chinese district contacted you?" Yu Mingyuan asked directly.
"Yeah." Su Tianyu nodded: "I'm ready to move."
"The most urgent task now is to protect Wang Xiao and his men." Yu Mingyuan lit a cigarette and said what he thought: "But there is a prerequisite, we must not open fire in Shengbao City. Once we open fire, the other side will have a legitimate reason to protect Huo Dongsheng and his men. We have limited manpower and cannot openly fight with the local military and political authorities. To put it bluntly, if you lose 10,000 men in battle for the sake of 5,000 men, isn't that a losing deal? So you have to contact Wang Xiao quickly and ask him to take his 5,000 men as far as possible out of the city! In this way, we can not only avoid the local army's defense circle, but also buy time for our people to get into position."
"I've already done that." Su Tianyu replied hoarsely, "But I still feel it's not enough. This matter doesn't just depend on us, but also on how much support District 1 can give to Huo Dongsheng. If the support is strong... then this matter is likely to become a tug-of-war."
Yu Mingyuan thought for a moment, and then said, "How about this. If you are not willing to take action, then don't worry about the rest. I will do it. After all, if you really take action, it will be easy to provoke a war without a legitimate reason, and you will be criticized by public opinion. If things go wrong, Bana City may also be implicated. It's better to leave this dirty work to me."
Hearing this, Su Tianyu was silent for a while, and then replied in a serious tone: "It's okay for you to do it, but you have to communicate with me first if you have anything."
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
The two hung up the phone and went to make preparations.
…
Longcheng, garrison command center, Anzecheng office.
An Zecheng stood in front of the office window, tending to the flowers he grew like a retired veteran cadre.
"Report!" The guard pushed the door open and saluted An Zecheng straight in the air: "Deputy Director An is here!"
An Zecheng responded without even turning his head: "Let her in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was pushed open again, and An Qiqi, wearing a heroic military uniform, strode in. She nodded to the guard, who left the room and helped close the door.
An Zecheng then turned around, paused and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Dad!" An Qiqi said, "The Chinese Workers' Union has split. Huo Dongsheng may want to start a new organization. He is trying to gain support from the City of Saint Paul. In the future, District 1 will definitely give him a talisman..."
Anzecheng Tools, sitting in his chair, frowned slightly, and asked seriously: "I heard about it. No need to lay the groundwork, just tell me what you think."
"We have to send troops." An Qiqi said without hesitation: "Use the available forces to hunt down Shengbao City and capture the Chinese Workers' Union!"
An Zecheng picked up the teacup, thought for a moment and said, "This should be the job of the Hua District. Even if the Hua District doesn't want to do it, it should be the job of Su Tianyu. Why should we intervene?"
An Qiqi replied without hesitation: "Because no one except Su Tianyu can handle this game."
"How are we going to explain to Old Tan that we're sending troops? How are we going to explain to District One? This is equivalent to clearly opposing the Central Bureau." An Zecheng's words were full of interrogation.
"Dad, if you're thinking about explaining, you're deceiving yourself." An Qiqi blinked her big eyes, walked to her father's side, and whispered, "I've talked to Tan Mingchao, and he's willing to join our Chamber of Commerce. This shows that Commander Tan knows very well that at this juncture, no matter how you explain, external pressure will be exerted on Longcheng. Unless you and Commander Tan are willing to surrender your guns, give up your rights, and return to District 1, confrontation will come sooner or later! So, now, what we should do most is to maximize the overseas Chinese forces, instead of thinking about defense and explanation, which is a useless approach."
An Zecheng nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you've convinced me. Let me ask my adjutant to contact you, and you two go do this."
"Yes, Commander!" An Qiqi saluted playfully.
An Zecheng took a sip of tea, looked at his daughter and said, "Since you said... Tan Mingchao is willing to join the social group, then let him take a share this time. Ask him if he is willing to get involved!"
"Okay!" An Qiqi nodded.
…
Bana City, military port.
Several cargo ships were quietly parked at the dock, and the soldiers of the Blackwater Corps, carrying their regular combat equipment, went up to the deck in rows.
Su Tianyu stood on the shore, with his hands behind his back, watching the scene in front of him. He pointed at Hou Guoyu next to him and said concisely, "Notify the Third Division and ask Xin Xiaodong to prepare for battle!"
"Yes!" Hou Guoyu immediately dialed the phone.
