Chapter 1813 - 1813:
"That's not a problem! As long as you display an aggressive posture, those two minor warlords will surely be afraid and seek assistance from the Xue Family. By then, the Xue Family Army will be too divided to handle both fronts, naturally retreating, and our goal will be achieved."
Liu Zhizhong understood clearly, this old fox has made quite the plan.
Isn't it obvious that he's set me up into a position of forming an attack and defense alliance with him?
Of course, Liu Zhizhong said, "Alright, I understand what you mean. So, after the Xue Family withdraws, how should we proceed?"
"Naturally, you should focus on the Goa Region, manage your business, and pursue your dreams! When the time is right, you can capture the Wabei District without bloodshed. Rest assured, with me watching out for you, what belongs to you will always be yours!"
The words carried a warmth and sincerity.
Liu Zhizhong outwardly agreed with a laugh, but in his heart, he was cautious of this old fox! Some things can slip from one's grasp into his mouth, which isn't impossible.
The Wabei District, although a bit complicated in terrain, is wealthy in mineral resources, and who wouldn't want to acquire it?
To be honest, Liu Zhizhong wants it too, haha...
So, Liu Zhizhong decided that after this meeting, he needed to expedite contact with the Wabei District and visit there soon to meet with Long Bo. He would appeal to emotion, reason with logic, and whether the opposing side listens would depend on their fate.
Later, Liu Zhizhong and Peng Zhensheng discussed another topic, naturally including the Gao Family head, Gao Qiying's brother, Gao Qixing.
This time, Liu Zhizhong was proactive, telling them, "The Goa People's Government has just been established, and there are many affairs in the Goa Region! We have a huge demand in infrastructure, so Mr. Chi is still willing to continue cooperating with the Gao Family, entrusting all infrastructure projects to the Gao Family. I wonder if the Gao Family is interested?"
This was simply a grand gesture, an olive branch offering; there's no reason for disagreement.
Peng Zhensheng was thrilled, and the Gao Family rejoiced!
Thus, the drinks tasted better and the food was more delightful.
Gao Qixing also expressed his willingness to personally lead a team to the Goa Region, to engage in discussions with relevant personnel and design the infrastructure there.
Liu Zhizhong further stated, "Don't turn infrastructure into a frenzy; don't rush the schedule. Quality must be the top priority, and money isn't an issue, and quality can't be a problem either."
With this request, the Gao Family expressed no problems whatsoever, striving to do their best to satisfy Chairman Chi.
Liu Zhizhong cracked a small joke, "It's not about pleasing me, but pleasing the people of Goa!"
"Hahaha... Yes, yes, yes, you People's Party need to satisfy the people's demands, hahaha..."
"..."
Overall, this banquet was quite satisfactory for both parties.
Finally, Peng Zhensheng gifted Liu Zhizhong with a large arms order, including 10 Himas systems and their munitions, alongside a batch of high-precision reconnaissance and strike drones, totaling six hundred million US dollars.
Just after the banquet ended, the total value of this arms order was already fully credited to the company's account.
Old Fox Peng's move almost confused Liu Zhizhong.
But Liu Zhizhong remained clear-headed, and while Wen Bao drove him home after dinner, Liu Zhizhong was still saying, "This old fox paying me in full was indeed a clever move! He wants me to relax and trust him more!"
"Yes, I noticed that too. Some people demand caution. But business is business, and it must be conducted. Just as we need to gauge Old Man Peng's strength, we must press our advantage to surpass him!"
"That's certainly the case. Ultimately, I don't want to fight against him; I don't want the Valle People to shed too much blood. If he can move towards republicanism, that'll be ideal. If not, we'll have to resort to lesser tactics."
"Absolutely. Regarding this batch of arms, let's do as before by leaving a technical backdoor, huh..."
"Heh heh, it must be done, heh heh..." Liu Zhizhong chuckled sinisterly, with a level of cunning he never had before, "Who do you think Old Fox Peng resembles most among martial arts characters?"
"Hmm... this one... I think he resembles Yue Buqun!"
"Haha, yes, quite right..."
"..."
After returning home, everything got back on track.
Firstly, regarding the arms procurement, Wen Bao has to pack his luggage and switch to international flight mode. With US dollars in hand, the international arms market can be selectively browsed and picked.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhizhong started preparing for the journey to the Wabei District. He planned to return to the Goa Region first and then proceed to Wabei. This way, he could also avoid Xue Manzi's invitation.
Xue Manzi is also considered another Yue Buqun of the Vallebang, demanding caution and avoidance.
Thus, Liu Zhizhong planned to take a short break in the afternoon before directly heading to the Goa Region.
Returning to the Goa Region to oversee governmental and military affairs is necessary.
Everything has just begun, so it's only natural to personally handle matters, right?
And this time going back to Goa, Liu Zhizhong was still escorted by tanks. Moreover, this time, two rapid-fire cannon armored vehicles and two heavy machine gun armored vehicles were added to the escort, creating quite the impressive lineup.
In the sky, reconnaissance drones were providing surveillance, and suicide drones were on standby.
Such was the appearance of a leader in the Goa Region.
Before departure, the significant setup slightly alarmed the studying Ruan Yu.
She ran out from the villa, saw Brother Shui about to leave, and hurried over with a flushed face and a touch of charming shyness.
"Brother Shui, where are you going? Are you heading back to the Goa Region?"
Liu Zhizhong smiled, "Yes, why?"
"Could I go with you? I want to visit Chishui Village, check on Uncle, and I miss my dad. I'd like to spend a few more days with him. It won't affect my studies."
"Hmm... oh, you can! But..." Liu Zhizhong paused slightly, then jokingly added, "Apart from your master and father, isn't there anything else on your mind?"
"Huh? Think of what?"
"Comrade Xingban!"
"Uh... I... Brother Shui, stop teasing me..." Ruan Yu's face turned red, and she quickly ran towards the villa, "Brother Shui, wait for me! I'll pack up and be right out!"
Liu Zhizhong watched her lively figure disappear, sighing... Such youthful vitality on a spring afternoon, both sensual and pure, really stirred some feelings that were hard to suppress!
It's been a long time since Demon Liu engaged in any physiological activity, and now he felt a bit oddly tempted!
After all, youthful strength requires fulfillment...
