The old man said that if you hear a rumor a hundred times, it will become fact.
This is actually true, especially in the political arena, because human nature in this circle is more complex and emotional relationships are weaker.
Before today, Zhou Xian felt that he and Kang Dinghuang had different perspectives on the issue at most. However, as the rebels' offensive efficiency became lower and lower and there were more and more rumors outside, his inner thoughts changed.
He really couldn't believe it in his heart that the rebel army, which had been preparing for nearly a week and had an absolute advantage in manpower, broke out of the 150-kilometer defense line and fought for five days, but not a single company of soldiers managed to break out.
What does it mean
Do you, Kang Dinghuang, feel that I have exceeded my authority? Do you feel that I have infringed upon your personal interests, and that is why you are engaging in passive resistance
Kang Dinghuang was dissatisfied in his heart, but he could not tell such words to outsiders. The most urgent task at the moment was to quickly resolve the problem of Bana City.
We can't delay any longer. The rebels can't break in, and the Mexican government troops may send reinforcements at any time. Moreover, the warlords under our control may not express their stance at this time and support us with military action.
what to do
Must add!
…
After Zhou Xian finished his call with Kang Dinghuang, he immediately found Warhammer's front-line commander Rumeni, and the two started chatting in the tent.
"The rebels' offensive efficiency is too slow. Even if they break through the siege and rush to the Bana City battlefield now, it will take at least three or four days. We can't afford to delay any longer." Zhou Xian frowned and said, "My request is very simple. In one sentence, find a way to continue to station troops in the direction of Bana City, and it must be sudden."
"Mr. Zhou, all the elite troops of our Warhammer in the south have gathered here. I really don't know where to mobilize more troops." Rumeli spread his hands speechlessly and said, "The size of our group is limited."
Zhou Xian looked at him and said, "Increase military spending by 30 percent, in cash!"
Hearing this, Rummenigge bent down in his chair and immediately said, “Then let’s talk about the details…!”
…
An hour later.
Zhou Xian led his men to the helicopter, preparing to return to Washington.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Just then, a phone call came in. Zhou Xian walked to the side of the helicopter and pressed the answer button: "Hello? Uncle Liu!"
"Xu Zhou, something happened to Zhu Peng last night. He was kidnapped."
“…!” Zhou Xian was stunned when he heard this.
"Xu Zhou's severed hand has been returned. The criminals haven't made clear their demands yet." The other party's voice was hoarse: "They must be heading for Bana City."
Zhou Xian swallowed his saliva and said, "I'll be back right away!"
"that's all."
…
Sri Lanka Caliper Military Base.
Su Tianyu independently formed a command center to attack Bana City, and transferred Xin Xiaodong and his regimental officers.
The other participants included Jiangzhou, Bruna, Dabai, Hou Guoyu, Sun Wei, and Gu Baishun. Originally, Su Tianyu wanted to use Lao Fei, but considering that the latter had not recovered from pneumonia, and his troops were all new recruits with low combat effectiveness, he did not force him.
Inside the meeting room.
Su Tianyu asked Bruna: "Give me accurate information. If Bana City is lost, how much political power can you mobilize?! Note that the power I'm talking about is not the power to stand on the ground and cheer you on. I'm talking about the power to really fight you with guns."
Bruna thought about it carefully and responded, "If we occupy Bana City, I can get half of the political power; but if a large district occupies Bana City, it may only be about three-tenths. And... this must be when Tagu and Booker are unable to control the situation. You should know... our people and culture are closer to District One."
Su Tianyu frowned: "What if you and Tagu resist together?"
"That's a huge percentage. At least the military units will definitely listen to Tagu. As for the administrative agencies, I am confident that I can lead 30% to 40% of the power." Bruna frowned and replied, "Su, this percentage must be based on my support for Tagu, because many people still trust our Bernardo family. Do you understand what I mean? If I rebel against District 1 alone, I won't have this influence."
"I see."
After hearing the other party's reply, Su Tianyu felt very conflicted.
After thinking for a while, Su Tianyu looked up and said to Jiangzhou: "Come on, brother, let's go out and talk."
Three minutes later, in the corridor of the conference room, Su Tianyu smoked a cigarette and said, "It is obvious that Bruna's influence is too weak. If we want to help her, two conditions must be met."
"One, to temporarily control Bana City; two, Tagu and Booker must both step down and lose control, right?" Jiangzhou instantly understood what Su Tianyu meant.
"Yes!" Su Tianyu responded immediately: "As long as Tagu and Booker are pressing Bruna, she will not be able to win more support. To put it bluntly, she is a woman with a low political status, and her family rank is even lower than the two young masters. In addition, few local people are close to the Chinese area... If you look at it this way, we are at a disadvantage."
Jiangzhou thought for a while and said, "There is nothing we can do. We can only support Tagu."
"It's too risky to do this! Tagu can't get out now, and he's being besieged by Warhammer. If we want to protect him, we can only charge into Bana City. But the battle in Sinalo is so intense, how many people can we send there? If we can't protect Tagu, we'll lose everything. And there's another key problem, which is that we can't find Booker at all. If you can't kill him, it means that the political forces close to a large area can't die. Even if we can defend Bana City in a short period of time, we will have to face their constant harassment and rebellion." Su Tianyu said clearly: "And I'm still a little unwilling. Even if everything goes smoothly, the most ideal result is that Tagu is in power and Bruna is our representative politician. It's still difficult for us to get the main rights."
Jiangzhou frowned: "The problem is, if you don't support Tagu now, you have no other choice, right?! If he dies, Booker can cooperate with Warhammer outside and the politicians who support him inside to directly announce his succession. What can we do with our troops here? We definitely can't break in!"
Su Tianyu blinked his eyes and said, "Well, I will contact Longcheng again. At the same time, I will ask my eldest brother to find a way to find Booker's hiding place. If we can kill the spokesperson of this large district, then things will turn around again."
"That's fine." Jiang Zhou looked up and asked, "Is your connection with Longcheng reliable?"
"Reliable, we've talked about it." Su Tianyu replied softly: "Old Tan, just pretend you don't know. I can borrow some people."
"Why would Old Tan do this?" Jiang Zhou was a little confused: "What benefit can he get?"
"Zhou Xian's failure is the biggest benefit to him." Su Tianyu whispered back, "You may not win, but your opponent will be completely defeated, which is worth it."
"Haha, fuck, that makes sense!" Jiangzhou laughed sarcastically.
