Kang Dinghuang was extremely disapproving of Zhou Xian's strategic plan to strangle Bana City, or even felt somewhat disgusted with it.
The last time they talked, Zhou Xian said generously: "You don't have to worry about the plan for Bana City. Let's each do our own work. You just need to organize the rebels to block the attack."
But less than a week later, Zhou Xian put pressure on Kang Dinghuang through senior officials of the Chinese Legion Command.
Zhou Xian did not directly tell Kang Dinghuang about the decision to send rebels to support War Hammer. Instead, he invited a deputy commander-in-chief to give Kang Dinghuang the order directly under the table.
What does this mean? !
In fact, Zhou Xian knew very well that if he communicated this matter directly with Kang Dinghuang, the latter would most likely not agree. In terms of job level, Zhou's position was definitely higher than Kang's, but the two were not directly superior and subordinate. The department that the Tsing Yi Bureau directly connected to was also the Regional Council, so Zhou Xian did not have the power to directly give orders to the Tsing Yi Bureau.
But if Bana City wants to end the battle quickly, it must lead its troops into the pass and use numbers to defeat the quality of the Blackwater Legion.
Taking all the above reasons into consideration, Zhou Xiancai chose the most convenient method, which was to directly contact the upper echelons of the Chinese Legion and ask his uncles and grandfather to mobilize Kang Dinghuang.
In this way, the two of them wouldn't have to quarrel, and Kang Dinghuang would have to do as he was told.
But what about Kang Dinghuang? He was unwilling to do so. From a strategic point of view, he completely disagreed with Zhou Xian's layout. He felt that using Bana City as the center to fight a big battle with the Chi Army was really putting the cart before the horse. And from a personal emotional point of view, he was also very disgusted.
Deputy Commander Xu's words, "You must assist Zhou Xian in doing a good job," made Kang Dinghuang feel that all his efforts over the past two years had gone to waste, and even the direction of his second half of life had been determined.
Kang Dinghuang was very depressed, but there was nothing he could do. He was too much of an elite member of the Chinese Legion, and if he didn't obey the orders from the top, he would suffer the consequences.
There was no choice but Kang Dinghuang set out to find the commander-in-chief of the rebel army and ask them to dispatch troops to support War Hammer.
…
Two days later.
On June 2, 1967, Zhao Weihu of the Chi Army officially received a call from Bana City requesting cooperation. Tagu sent a colonel staff officer to secretly fly to the Chi Army base for negotiations, but Zhao Weihu did not show up and left the matter to Gou Liuzi.
Inside the Sri Lanka Caliper Military Base.
Su Tianyu was holding a nail clipper and trimming his nails with his head down, with a very pretentious attitude.
Tagu's chief of staff was very dissatisfied with Su Tianyu's cowardly look, but he didn't dare to get angry in front of him.
The situation in Bana City has become very critical. Two days have passed, and Tagu has already received news that the rebels are about to send more troops to the Warhammer, which is undoubtedly a fatal threat to Tagu, who only has 18,000 armed forces.
No matter how powerful the Blackwater Legion is, it only has so many people. If the two armies of the villain army really reach the outskirts of Bana City and join forces with the Warhammer mercenary group of more than 20,000 people, they can kill Tagu with just a pile of people.
There is no other choice but to ask for help, and the only one who can help send troops to block the attack is the Chi Army.
Su Tianyu lowered his head to trim his nails and said lightly: "We are poor and short of money!"
The colonel was not stupid, and immediately followed up the conversation and asked, "How much military funding do you need from us?"
"How much do you think is appropriate?" Su Tianyu asked back.
"The finances of Bana City have always been controlled by the administrative agencies, and our military does not have much money. Booker has already defected, and Bana City's foreign exchange reserves are basically controlled by him..." The colonel was talking about his difficulties.
"Let's fight for fifteen days first. I want 200 million." Su Tianyu interrupted and replied directly.
The colonel clenched his fist and said, "Mr. Su, military expenditures are allocated quarterly. Our financial reserves...!"
"Don't tell me about the difficulties. If you want to talk about this, I can talk to you here for two days and two nights." Su Tianyu frowned and replied: "We are not a military unit under the jurisdiction of the government. Our nature is no different from mercenaries. If you want to mobilize troops, you have to spend money."
The colonel hesitated for a while and said, "OK, OK, we agree to this condition."
After talking about money, Su Tianyu stood up, threw the nail clippers on the table, turned around and left: "In our area, the Chi Army and the Third Division will do their best to stop the rebels, but I can't guarantee you that none of their troops will get through. If a combat unit breaks through, we won't chase them. We are few in number, and if the battle line is stretched too long, we won't be able to take care of either end."
The colonel stood up immediately and asked: "When will the battle start?"
"Bai Shun, you negotiate with them the contract for future canal cooperation." Su Tianyu shouted as he walked out, "Once we're done, we'll send out our troops."
"Please!" The colonel was so anxious that he bowed to Su Tianyu.
Su Tianyu walked to the door, suddenly stopped, turned around and pointed at the other party and said: "Oh, by the way, there is one more condition."
"What conditions?" asked the colonel.
"The last time I went to your Bernardo Manor, your legion commander Tagu shot and killed dogs, and told us to get out. I felt very uncomfortable." Su Tianyu said with a smile: "I am a person who holds grudges."
The colonel was speechless.
"How about this, you ask Tagu to hang the flag of our Chi Army at the gate of Bernardo Manor to show sincerity." Su Tianyu said bluntly: "Haha, Orientals are like this! Where you lose face, you have to get it back there, you can understand?"
The colonel gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, Mr. Su."
"You are a good negotiator, haha!" Su Tianyu pushed the door and left.
Gu Baishun walked in, extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and directly placed a stack of documents on the table: "This is the future cooperation plan for canal trade. Please read it once and sign it. It is not negotiable."
The colonel clenched his teeth and nodded slowly: "Okay, let me see, sir."
This is the political and military situation. One second you may be able to call the shots and enjoy unlimited glory, but the next second you may be in disgrace due to changes in the situation.
…
After Su Tianyu left the meeting room, he went directly to Zhao Weihu's room.
Inside the room, Jiangzhou, Dabai, Chief of Staff Wu, Xin Xiaodong and others were all there.
"What do you mean?" Jiangzhou asked.
"I asked Tagu to hang the flag of our Chi Army at the door of his house." Su Tianyu replied with a smile.
"That's awesome!" Jiang Zhou clapped his hands and replied, "He's really someone I can relate to. It makes me feel better. That's how I have to deal with him!"
"Where is the military expenditure?" Zhao Weihu asked the question that concerned him most.
"First, we'll fight for fifteen days, and it'll be two hundred million." Su Tianyu answered truthfully, "This price is not low. If we ask them again, they may not agree. To put it bluntly, even if they hire private forces from South America, they may not spend so much money."
"Okay, that's acceptable." Zhao Weihu immediately stood up and shouted, "Third Division, Chi Army, prepare to enter the designated blocking location!"
"Wait a moment!" Su Tianyu stood up: "I have people outside, but I need another group as a backup."
"Who do you want?" Zhao Weihu asked.
"Commander, is there any need to say this? What is the relationship between me and my Sixth Master? He will definitely use me!" Xin Xiaodong interjected confidently.
