In a flash, a week passed.
During this period, the Chinese Workers' Union, the An faction, and the Lao Li team all issued orders to their subordinates that no celebration activities or ceremonies were allowed in the near future. They were to remain silent to express their condolences to the soldiers who died in the war.
At the same time, Su Tianyu also allocated a large sum of cash, a large portion of which was taken from the "charity" that Xin Xiaodong had looted from the treasury of Saint Paul City, as well as the 400 million war reparations paid in advance by Gustav, to pay pensions.
Every soldier who passed away enjoyed the highest individual pension. Su Tianyu did not save a penny in this regard and tried his best to comfort the families of the deceased.
For a moment, the whole city of Bana was filled with a sad atmosphere. The soldiers of the Violence and Terrorism Bureau all wore black veils on their arms.
Fu Zhen, Wang Zheng and others also led their people back to the Chinese District. The remaining thousands of people in the An faction also secretly took a detour back to Longcheng.
…
Saturday afternoon, Panama City.
Su Tianyu, wearing a black veil on his arm, sat in his office, drinking tea and using his computer to review plans for the greater integration of overseas Chinese groups.
The opponent no longer exists and all the obstacles have been removed. Su Tianyu needs to complete the plan as soon as possible and then start the first fusion conference.
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a gentle knock on the office door.
Su Tianyu put down the teacup and turned to look at the door: "Come in."
An Qiqi pushed the door open and walked in. She had changed out of her military uniform and put on some casual clothes. She wore a white shirt and light blue jeans. She walked up to Su Tianyu and asked, "What are you busy with?"
Su Tianyu pointed at the computer and said, "What else can I do? I'll just do this little bit of work. Think about the integration, make a detailed plan, and report it to all parties. Old Wu and his men are back now, and the forces over there are quite mixed, so we need to deal with them properly. In addition, we need to make a list of gods to reward everyone according to their merits, and we need to balance the forces of all parties."
"I can't help you with the cake division, you should bear the trouble yourself..." An Qiqi sat opposite Su Tianyu and said to him with a smile: "I have to go back to Longcheng."
Su Tianyu: "Is there anything wrong at home?"
"Yes," An Qiqi explained, "There are still many things to deal with in Longcheng. In addition, I have to go back and report to the higher-ups. After all, I also hold an official position now."
"That's right." Su Tianyu nodded and didn't say anything more.
An Qiqi picked up the water cup and added with a frown, "By the way, there is one more thing I need to tell you."
Su Tianyu turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
An Qiqi intervened and said, "We in the An faction, together with my father's channels, have received some reliable information about Tan Hengqiang's appointment as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Legion... It should be a sure thing. I heard that the higher-ups have decided to promote him, and the specific appointment letter will be issued soon."
Su Tianyu was slightly startled and frowned unconsciously. In fact, he had expected this to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
An Qiqi looked at Su Tianyu's expression and continued, "It's obvious. The upper echelons have already started making plans. Now they are promoting Tan Hengqiang, obviously to stabilize Longcheng and let him contain us. They hope that we will confront Tan Hengqiang, and the confrontation will be carried out on the territory of Longcheng."
Su Tianyu thought about it and said to An Qiqi: "Well, Qiqi, you call Tan Mingchao."
An Qiqi asked back: "What are you going to do?"
Su Tianyu smiled and said, "Haha, just call him and make an appointment with him. Just say that I will be back in Longcheng next week and want to have dinner together."
An Qiqi looked at Su Tianyu in silence, and after a while she said, "You are such a sinister old man."
Su Tianyu smiled but said nothing.
In front of Su Tianyu, An Qiqi took out her cell phone and called Tan Mingchao, and pressed the speakerphone.
“Beep—”
The phone rang twice before being connected. An Qiqi immediately asked with a smile, "Mr. Tan, are you busy?"
"It's okay. What's wrong?" Tan Mingchao asked softly, "What's the matter?"
"It's like this." An Qiqi tried to make an invitation: "Su Tianyu will return to Longcheng next week. How about we have dinner together? He'll treat us."
Tan Mingchao thought for a moment and replied, "I'm sorry, I have official business to attend to recently and cannot spare the time. Please wait a little longer. I will treat him when I am free later."
An Qiqi said with a smile: "Okay! That's it, you keep busy, I'm hanging up!"
"Okay." The two hung up the phone.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Su Tianyu drank tea and said slowly: "Looking at this reaction, it should be stable."
An Qiqi put the phone in his trouser pocket and said to Su Tianyu, "This is very simple. Either let Tan Hengqiang shoot us, or let Tan Hengqiang shoot one district. He will have to shoot sooner or later. Commander Tan can control the situation in Longcheng now. If his shot hits the first district, then our Longcheng will be stable. Don't you think so?"
Su Tianyu thought for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Where did your father shoot this time?"
An Qiqi couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said playfully, "Oh, I'm really convinced! If you still can't see my dad's attitude now, then you're a fool. There's nothing to talk about between us."
Su Tianyu smiled and said, "Then can your father deal with Tan Hengqiang?"
An Qiqi rolled her eyes at Su Tianyu again and said, "My dad is not in good health. I don't know if I can do it or not."
At this point, the two of them smiled knowingly.
Su Tianyu then waved his hand and said, "Okay, forget about Lao Tan for now, let's deal with our side first and finish the things at hand. Aren't you going back to Longcheng? Let's go back together, I just need to report to Lao Li about my work. I'll arrange the flight, you can come with me."
"Okay!" An Qiqi nodded. The two chatted for a few more sentences and then began to prepare to return to Longcheng.
…
At night, Jiangzhou had dinner with people from Jia City and had just returned to the hotel. He took off his coat and was about to take a shower when there was a knock on the door.
“Boom boom boom!”
Jiangzhou hung up his coat and said, "Come in."
"Boss Jiang," the secretary pushed open the door and walked in, holding a document in his hand: "Here is your document."
"Hmm?" Jiang Zhou took the document and asked, "Who sent it?"
The secretary whispered, "It's from the Wang family."
"Okay, I got it." Jiangzhou waved his hand and the secretary left the room.
Jiangzhou took the document, sat on the chair, flipped through two pages casually, and the expression on his face gradually disappeared.
