Chapter 1809 - 1809
The bigwigs exchanged comments, all showing support for Liu Zhizhong!
Other smaller warlords also expressed their agreement, highly praising Liu Zhizhong.
Sa Yileng couldn't hold it together, feeling abandoned on the spot, as if he had no foothold left in Vallebang.
His head spun, vision darkened, cold sweat streaming; he felt like he was about to faint.
And Liu Zhizhong? He nodded with great satisfaction, "Thank you, everyone, for understanding me like this, hehe... Well, that's settled then. Mr. Chi knows what he needs to do. Gentlemen, continue with your meeting. I'll take my leave first. Um..."
With that, he stood up and said to Peng Bei beside him, "Let's go, Brother Peng Bei, you brought me in, can you escort me out?"
Peng Bei truly admired Liu Zhizhong. This guy was incredibly bold!
He also knew that with him escorting Liu Zhizhong out, no one would dare say or do anything reckless.
So, Peng Bei said, "Sure, please, Chairman Chi?"
Liu Zhizhong nodded, and bowed to everyone present, exuding a distinct Eastern Country charm.
In his gestures and movements, his demeanor was truly exceptional!
Before long, Peng Bei accompanied Liu Zhizhong out of the conference room.
And it seemed there was hardly any need for the meeting to continue; everyone understood tacitly.
Now, it was just waiting for Peng Bei to return, and the meeting could be adjourned.
Everyone was smoking, drinking tea, or sipping drinks, with nothing more to say.
Sa Yileng truly felt cold, trembling in his chair, looking at one person, another ignoring him; looking at another, and that one ignoring him too.
Moment by moment, he felt abandoned, like a lone wolf.
A medium-sized warlord in Vallebang wielding thirty thousand troops had become a discarded person, that inner despair was truly vivid.
And as Peng Bei escorted Liu Zhizhong outside, he couldn't help but whisper, "Brother Zhongshui, you're quite brave to confront so directly!"
"Haha, Brother Peng Bei, it's the world forcing us! If I'm not ruthless, I fear meat turns to scraps, bones to dust."
Peng Bei chuckled, feeling indeed it was true, but he whispered, "Brother Zhongshui is ambitious! Let's see how you govern the Goa Region! If needed, the Goa Army and the Peng Family Army can still cooperate. Even..."
He paused and then lowered his voice further, "Sa Yileng, the Peng Family can handle it for you, no need for you to trouble yourself. As for the Wabei territory, haha... we split it evenly, how about that?"
Liu Zhizhong paused slightly, stopped in his tracks, and looked back at Peng Bei to confirm he wasn't lying.
This nephew of Peng Zhensheng probably represented Old Peng's opinion too.
"Haha, Brother Peng Bei, are you joking?"
"Hey~~~~A real man wouldn't joke about this? Despite everything, Peng Bei is a soldier, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, just depending on Brother Zhongshui's inclination?"
"Well..."
Liu Zhizhong didn't answer immediately but quickened his pace towards his car.
When he reached the car, he got in, and Peng Bei was still seeing him off from outside.
"Brother Zhongshui, consider it?"
Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Hmm, I'll think about it, but now there's no time to reply to you!"
"No worries, no rush, Goa's affairs are busy, haha..."
"Alright, thank you for understanding, Brother Peng Bei. Farewell!"
"Hey, wait a moment!"
Peng Bei raised his hand, stopping Liu Zhizhong from leaving, "Well, when you return to the base, how long will you stay? How about we get together privately, have a meal, and also discuss some arms business?"
"Well... sure, I'll head back first. We'll arrange the meal and business later! I'm expected to stay here for about a week, then I'll head to the Goa Region and take a look around."
"Alright, arrange it later, haha... Take care, watch your safety!"
"Okay!"
...
In fact, it wasn't just the Peng Family wanting to have a meal with Liu Zhizhong.
All the warlords, who didn't want to meet him? Who wouldn't ask? A meal is needed, and arms need a little procurement, hehe…
Anyway, after Peng Bei returned, the meeting truly adjourned.
Sa Yileng, like a lost, desolate dog, headed towards his helipad with guards accompanying him, desperately heading back to the Wabei District.
Liu Zhizhong's emergence completely changed his life.
He felt demoralized, really unsure about what to do next.
The warlords were all intimidated and subdued by Liu Zhizhong; everyone ignored him, and he knew trouble was ahead.
What he didn't know was, as he boarded the helicopter, a hint of malicious glint flashed in Xue Manzi's eyes.
Afterwards, once Xue Manzi boarded his helicopter, he immediately sent out a secret message...
Liu Zhizhong, meanwhile, was driving, feeling utterly content, immensely delighted.
Handling the Vallebang warlords, he succeeded.
The upcoming situations and developments would be easier to handle.
Focus on developing the Goa Region, establishing its distinct characteristics, steadfastly carrying out the People's Party principles, enriching one side, benefiting one side.
Liu Zhizhong even thought of: within six months or a year, in the Goa Region, ordinary people could own firearms!
What are firearms for?
For self-defense, of course!
To defend one's rights!
Of course, the process for applying for firearms must be strictly controlled.
After returning, he gathered with Liu Dongyuan, Ye Tianping, and Wen Bao, explained the situation, a feeling of immense satisfaction enveloped everyone, incredibly pleasant! Then, Liu Zhizhong proposed the idea of firearm ownership for all in the Goa Region.
Instantly, the three staunch allies were shocked.
Wen Bao was the first to speak, "Brother, have you thought this through? This is quite frightening!"
Liu Dongyuan nodded, "Actually, it's not that scary, as long as the approval process is strict, with numbered firearms and ammunition, it won't be a major issue. Only when common folks have the right to carry firearms will those serving them act properly and be honest!"
Ye Tianping gave Liu Zhizhong a thumbs up, "Hmm, Chairman Chi is indeed a pioneering leader! With this, the Goa Region has to rise! With 1.5 million people in the Goa Region, if everyone becomes soldiers, which warlord would dare attack? Of course, with our intelligence and defense system, anyone thinking of coming will have to weigh their options."
Liu Zhizhong said, "Yes! The matter of universal firearm ownership needs to be implemented properly, as the final step! For now, we should..."
He was just saying, when from afar came the rumbling sound of artillery.
From the sound, it was the rhythm of anti-aircraft fire starting.
Huh? What's happening?
