At 11:30 late at night, in the villa of Deputy Commander Xu in Washington, seven or eight big men over 50 years old, with military titles, looked at Zhou Xian with unpleasant expressions.
"Uncle Xu, Uncle Zhu, don't worry. No matter who kidnapped Xiaozhou and Xiaozhu, they must have something to ask for." Zhou Xian's forehead was sweating. "We must talk about it later. Their lives are definitely not in danger at the moment."
Deputy Commander Xu looked at Zhou Xian indifferently and did not respond at all.
A division commander at the side spoke first: "Zhou Xian, you said you wanted to mobilize the Warhammer Mercenary Group to encircle Bana City, and we approved the money for you. You said you wanted to use the rebels for reinforcement, and we gave the order to the Tsing Yi Bureau under the table. Things have progressed to this point, and the outcome is still unknown, and we are under a lot of pressure!"
"Uncle Jiu," Zhou Xian immediately stood up and said, "Now the results have been initially revealed. Our work is not without results! The Blackwater Army has been pulled on two fronts. There are 10,000 people in the city and 8,000 outside the city. They dare not unite their forces at all. Tagu's situation is already very dangerous. He can only rely on the army to suppress the voices of resistance in the city. Before I came in, Booker had called me. 80% of the people in the government departments do not support Tagu. Their strength is also very strong. As for the rebels, although they cannot fight in a short time, the Chi Army dare not leave the defense zone either! Their number is limited, and they will definitely not be able to provide strong support to Tagu. I am now just one breath away. As long as the balance of Bana City is broken by internal and external cooperation, Tagu will definitely lose!"
Deputy Commander Xu: "Xiaozhou will take the postgraduate entrance examination soon."
Zhou Xian was stunned.
"You are not responsible for this, but Bana City has indeed been delayed for too long. The resources we have mobilized are far more than expected." Deputy Commander Xu looked up at Zhou Xian: "I am the deputy commander, but not the highest commander of District 1. I also have something to say to the higher-ups!"
These words were very harsh and made Zhou Xian feel very uneasy.
Deputy Commander Xu turned his head and looked around: "I will retire after this term. What is the purpose of taking Naba and Nacheng? Isn't it for you, the younger generation, for those present here, so that I can use my achievements to gain more promotion?!"
Everyone was silent.
"My son's hands are used for painting. I feel so sorry for him." Deputy Commander Xu sighed, his face showing fatigue.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xian knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a voice that was almost tearful: "Uncle Xu! Uncle Zhu! All uncles and uncles... I know you have been supporting me and training me... I am really grateful! But this Bana City incident is not only related to the success or failure of me, Zhou Xian, but also to whether our old faction can obtain the resources to change the political structure of the Chinese Legion! Once Bana City is under our control, the next commander-in-chief of the Chinese Legion will definitely be elected from our side. The regional director will also definitely provide strong political resources!"
Everyone was silent.
Zhou Xian looked at the group of old people in front of him and said in a trembling voice: "My uncles, you all watched me grow up. For the sake of my grandfather and my father, please support me one more time, and I will definitely make this happen!"
"Let's do it this way." Deputy Commander Xu stood up and said, "Laojiu, help Xiaoxian allocate resources."
"yes!"
After saying that, Deputy Commander Xu stood up, stared at Zhou Xian deeply for a long while, and finally said nothing, turned around and went upstairs.
Zhou Xian's father had passed away, so why did these old people still help him? That was because although the Zhou family was not as prosperous as it was in the past, it still had many students in the Chinese Legion, and the main members of the family also occupied high positions.
Although no one from the Zhou family was present today, Deputy Commander Xu received countless condolence calls before the meeting, almost all of which were from the generals of the Zhou family. There were calls from the navy and the army, and these people did not mention Zhou Xian at all, but only asked about Xu Zhou's situation with concern.
In addition, Zhou Xian's mother is also an outstanding female politician, and she is very influential in the regional council and Chinese community. In addition, what Zhou Xian does is indeed to fight for the interests of the old school, so everyone supports him. Although the six or seven people on the sofa just now have some complaints in their words, they did not completely reject Zhou Xian's work.
In fact, for Deputy Commander Xu personally, it would be a great thing if he could plan and control Bana City, but even if he couldn't do it, it would have no impact on him. Because he was about to retire, so compared to achievements, he hoped that he could land safely and his family would be safe.
Deputy Commander Xu went upstairs and called his adjutant alone, and whispered to him, "Check Longcheng to see if Anzecheng has taken action."
"Yes!" the adjutant nodded.
"If he did it, I would chop off one of his daughter's hands as well." Deputy Commander Xu said gloomily, "It's rude not to reciprocate!"
…
Kang Dinghuang led the Qingyi Bureau for two years and provided more than 80% of the resistance for Lao Li's team to control Longcheng. However, at the critical moment, the higher-ups said that no matter how well you do, you are just an auxiliary to Zhou Xian.
Although Zhou Xian made many mistakes and used rather radical methods in his layout of Bana City, when he returned to Washington, he knelt down at the home of Deputy Commander Xu and called him "Uncle Grandpa". The support and reinforcements he received were probably something that Kang Dinghuang could not have obtained even if he had worked hard for five years.
Life is an unfair game. Whether you give up halfway or try your best to catch up is actually up to your own thoughts.
As soon as Zhou Xian left Deputy Commander Xu's house, Kang Dinghuang received the news. He stood outside the tent, smoking a cigarette and muttering, "The tolerance rate is really high!"
…
The next morning.
Just as Su Tianyu was about to call his elder brother, Jiangzhou found him in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" Su Tianyu asked while sitting in the office.
Jiangzhou closed the door, stepped forward and said, "Not good!"
"What is it?"
"Our intelligence agency has received accurate information," Jiangzhou lowered his voice, "Zhou Xian has become extremely anxious because the rebels have been unable to break through the defense line. He returned to Area 1 last night to get resources and prepare for a decisive battle in Bana City. We haven't found out what forces he has contacted yet, but one thing is certain, Tagu is in danger."
Su Tianyu was silent.
"Otherwise, let's just rob it." Jiangzhou frowned and said, "Let's just go all in on Bana City. All the cards are out. The outcome depends on this one!"
Su Tianyu hesitated: "I always feel like I don't have enough cards now!"
Jiang Zhou walked around the room with his hands behind his back: "There is another way, but it's too damn risky!"
Su Tianyu looked at him and said, "Brother, we are not thinking the same thing, are we?"
