Chapter 581 - 562: Lengthening the Battle Line
The next day, Ye Chen left Leisure City and once again entrusted everything to Old Housekeeper Jack.
He returned to Jianghuai City, and the first thing Ye Chen did was to summon all eight Hidden Generals back. The eight gathered from all corners of the nation, each brimming with joy, especially Liu the Tyrant, who had already conquered half of Macau. Every now and then, he boasted in front of everyone, "I alone took down the whole of Macau."
"Cut it out, just you alone? Da Hei is not a person, then!" Feng Zhixiao had been feeling stifled, confined to a corner in the Northeast. Now it was November, and although the climate in Jianghuai City was quite pleasant, in that godforsaken place of Changbai Mountain, it was freezing cold, already several degrees below zero. Therefore, Feng Zhixiao was shivering uncontrollably, and his biggest takeaway from this trip was how wonderful the weather in Jianghuai City was.
"Big Brother, what’s the occasion for gathering us this time?" Da Xia asked excitedly.
"Now that the situation is perilous, I’ve decided to expand our front lines again!" Ye Chen glanced at everyone and said, "I don’t care how you do it, but you must expand the troops under your command. Money, Heavenly Reversal Gang will provide; people, that’s for you to handle!"
"Brother Chen, what exactly are we supposed to do?" Haozi hurriedly asked.
"The end of the year is approaching, and I need you to take down the whole of China before then!" Ye Chen waved his hand. Everyone immediately gasped.
"Brother Chen, you’re not joking, right?" Feng Zhixiao looked at Ye Chen in astonishment.
"Of course not!" Ye Chen smiled, then stood up. There was a map of China hanging on the wall; Ye Chen pointed at Shanghai and said, "Little Knife Gang is the biggest force in Shanghai, I believe you can handle it. The Gray Wolf of the Northwest, Thirteen Eagles of the Southwest. These are significant forces. Macau, Taiwan, I want these places too!"
Everyone couldn’t help but inhale sharply. Too... too rash, right? Pushing the front line to the entire China all at once? The front line of the Heavenly Reversal Gang was already overstretched, and if it continued like this, it would inevitably break!
"Brother Chen, I... I don’t think it’s appropriate!" Jiang Wei immediately stood up and said, "My dad once told me that the Heavenly Reversal Gang is in great danger now because the front line is too long. Although I didn’t agree with him, looking at the slow progress now, our front line is indeed too long. If we continue to expand the battlefield, I’m afraid... we really won’t be able to hold on!"
"Brother Chen, Jiang Wei is right!" Xiao Bai and Da Hei also nodded in agreement.
