7:30 in the evening, next to the fish pond in the backyard of Tongji Club.
Su Tianyu, Yu Mingyuan, Dabai, Fei Pingsheng, Kong Zhenghui, Zhou Tonghui, Wei Xiangzuo, Gu Baishun, and non-staff member Master Lu, all gathered together to discuss the "big plan".
"Let me take care of the Chijun affairs." Su Tianyu sat on a small stool and spoke first: "I have a lot of contact with Brother Hu, I know many people, so it's easy to get in touch with him."
"We will definitely do it for you. There is nothing to discuss about this." Yu Mingyuan crossed his legs and frowned, saying, "Let's mainly discuss the batch of goods."
"How big is the plate?" Gu Baishun asked curiously.
"Initially it was 130 million, and later on District One added more, so the total is nearly 300 million in armaments." Yu Mingyuan lowered his voice and said, "It's no problem to arm two divisions."
When Lu Feng heard this, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Is it too late for me to quit now?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you are the main force, why are you quitting!" Su Tianyu replied.
"Thank you, your whole family!" Lu Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Damn it, you've got the armaments of two divisions. The leaders of District 1 will definitely turn Longcheng upside down, right?! This matter... will definitely not be left unresolved. Once it's exposed, no one can afford the consequences. I don't want to be the main force!"
Gu Baishun also showed a solemn expression: "... How many people are needed to guard such a large amount of goods? How many people do we need to mobilize to transport it? It's too difficult."
"It's difficult, you don't have to do it." Yu Mingyuan replied coldly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the meeting immediately became subtle. Gu Baishun glanced at Yu Mingyuan, turned his head away and stopped talking.
Fei Pingsheng glanced at everyone's expressions and immediately changed the subject: "The large amount of cargo is also a pressure for the escort unit. If they do it in a high-profile manner, they are afraid that the people in the old Mo region will keep an eye on them. After all, it's very chaotic over there, and you can't guarantee that some warlord will get excited and directly intercept them. Besides, supporting the rebels is also wrong in terms of regional public opinion, so I guess they will definitely not do it blatantly. The escort troops may not be very grand, but they will definitely set up checkpoints for protection along the way."
Su Tianyu immediately took over the conversation after hearing this: "That's what I wanted to say. I have a plan in mind, but I don't know if it will work."
"What plan?" Yu Mingyuan asked.
"I haven't thought of the specific details yet." Su Tianyu paused and said, "But I want to steal it, and do it in Longcheng. First, figure out their transportation route. We will set up temporary checkpoints along the way, pretend to be a temporary prosecutorial unit, and even control a checkpoint when necessary. We can directly pretend to be someone else and get close to the goods face to face. If we do this, I can let the Chi Army cooperate on the periphery and let them suddenly make a move on the border. In this way, the rebel army's receiving units will definitely not get over in time."
Kong Zhenghui frowned when he heard this. "Isn't it too risky to steal like this? With such important goods, they will definitely arrange their own people at the temporary checkpoint. If you lose control and the gun goes off, and the location is within the country, no one can escape."
"Once the goods leave the country, they will definitely fall into the hands of the rebels." Su Tianyu explained softly, "The situation over there is different from this side. They are in a war zone. It is possible that they blatantly use two armies to receive the goods. Tell me, should we face the danger of two armies directly, or the danger of sneaking in the zone? The most important thing is that our strength is not enough to clash with regular troops. If we want to accomplish this, we can only take an unconventional approach and think of a way that the other party can't guess, so that they have no way to prevent it."
Kong Zhenghui immediately waved his hand: "I don't agree, I think it's too risky."
Everyone was silent for a while, and Zhou Tonghui added: "I don't recommend doing it within the border either. If you make a mistake in operation, things will definitely go wrong. When the border is blocked, you won't have anywhere to run."
Su Tianyu picked up the teacup and said, "The Chijun troops can be placed outside the line. As long as we succeed on the inside and no one is captured at the scene, we can quickly deliver the goods. This will directly solve the problem of how you transport the armaments of two divisions. If we work outside the line, we will face the rebels' well-armed escort troops. You can't speak the language, and the people look so strange and big. I can't think of how we can snatch the goods from these people."
"We can ask the Chi Army to add more troops," Kong Zhenghui said immediately, "ask him to prepare more troops."
"Even if all the Chi troops are mobilized, there are only a few thousand people. How can they snatch the goods from one or two armies?" Su Tianyu asked back with a frown.
At this point, the discussion once again reached a stalemate.
"I find that everyone still hasn't figured out the nature of this matter." Su Tianyu took a sip of water and emphasized again: "We have to understand that this job is like pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth. If it succeeds, it can bring us qualitative benefits, but the probability of failure is much greater than the probability of success! It is very dangerous and difficult, and someone may even pay the price of his life. If this is unacceptable, then I think you shouldn't do it. You can't plan a very difficult matter to be perfect, that's just deceiving yourself, and the expected plan will definitely not succeed."
"I think what Liuzi said is right..." Dabai thought for a moment and prepared to speak.
Kong Zhenghui held the teacup in both hands and responded again: "No matter what, I think this plan is not feasible. If you want to steal and cheat, it means that there won't be too many people involved. There are 500 soldiers at a checkpoint, so you can't get 600. The number of people is limited, and once they meet, they may be exposed immediately. This plan is too dangerous."
Dabai glanced at Kong Zhenghui and swallowed back what he was about to say.
"I think we should do it outside the border. It's impossible for the rebels to be stuck at the border line just like that. It's too obvious." Kong Zhenghui thought for a while and said, "What I mean is that the Chi Army should put some pressure on the rebels and move to the border before we take action, delaying their delivery time. Then, we can hire private armed forces in the Laomo area with more people, and wait for the government troops to leave with the goods, or take action when they are stuck at the border. This way it will be convenient to fight and retreat."
"Don't let outsiders get involved. I don't agree to hire anyone." Su Tianyu expressed his opinion without hesitation: "The person who does this must be someone we trust!"
"How many people can we trust? Just the people present here, right?" Kong Zhenghui also retorted: "As long as you use other people besides those present, there is a possibility of exposure, right?!"
"That's right. Human nature cannot be controlled." Zhou Tonghui also interjected: "If you use people from the association, there is a possibility that information will leak out. I think it's okay to hire people. Don't tell them the mission objectives in advance, and don't give them any extra information. Just go in and start fighting. After the battle, let the ruler army take over. This way, there won't be any accidents. If you go with this plan, I can call some people from District 1 over."
Su Tianyu listened to what the two said, without refutation or saying anything more, and just turned his head to look at Yu Mingyuan: "Then you make the decision!"
