Chapter 174 The Showdown

Although Wu Dashao understood the future political landscape of Bana City, some things still needed to be done.

"Da Bai, come on, get in the car!" Wu Han called out.

Da Bai yanked open the car door, wearing pajamas, and sat in the back seat, "You're here about the conflict at the garrison camp, right?"

"Hehe, I thought you'd play dumb with me," Wu Han said with a light smile, "Things are going to get messy if you handle them like this. Once a shot is fired, the situation might spiral out of control."

"There's no point in playing dumb," Da Bai scratched his head, "Given my relationship with Nana, it would be an outright lie if I said I didn't know!"

"Yes, your relationship is indeed... developing quite quickly…," Wu Han nodded.

"I understand why you're here," Da Bai immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure Liu-zi calls you within an hour. He's not avoiding you guys, he's avoiding the people below."

"Are you sure he can call within an hour?" Wu Han asked.

Da Bai grinned, "Hehe, we might have results within an hour."

"Are you confident?" Wu Han asked casually.

"In a word, the people who follow Gou Liu-zi are the best of the best among dogs," Da Bai said quite frankly, "With such a complicated situation, the people who can work at the lower levels definitely know what's going on."

"Alright, I'm relieved to hear you say that."

"Well, if you don't have anything else, I'll get going," Da Bai said deliberately, trying to show off, "I ran out here halfway through my work, which isn't good."

Wu Han was speechless, "Go, go, you need to make a living, work is important."

Da Bai pointed at Wu Han, "Hehe, there's discrimination in your words!"

"Hehe," Wu Han smiled, "I'd love for people to discriminate against me, but God won't give me that chance!"

The two smiled at each other. Da Bai stepped out of the car, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I'll find him now."

"Alright." Wu Han left in the car.

Judging from his attitude, Wu Han didn't really want to talk to Gou Liu-zi himself. He came this time mainly to remind Lao Li's team not to go too far, and to know when enough is enough.

After he left, Da Bai wrapped his clothes around him and returned to the villa, calling Su Tianyu on the way, "Wu Han came to me, telling you to take it easy."

"Got it."

"Do you want to give him a call?" Da Bai asked.

"There's no result yet, what would I say if I called now?" Su Tianyu replied indifferently, "Let's wait and see how Xin Xiaodong performs."

With that, the two ended the call.

...

Dragon City, inside the Su family's courtyard.

Su Tianyu sat on a stone bench, grilling mutton skewers while looking at the report on his computer.

In fact, Su Tianyu returned to Dragon City not only to avoid trouble, but also to help Lao Li study the expansion of his armed forces.

These days, he also had to communicate with the Coast Guard and the Anti-Terrorism Brigade.

"Di Ling Ling!"

A phone rang, and Su Tianyu picked up his phone and pressed the answer button, "Hello, Third Sister."

"What you're doing in Bana City has reached me," Su Miaomiao asked softly, "What's going on? Can't you reach an agreement?"

Hearing this, Su Tianyu's heart sank. He wasn't afraid of the Huagonghui (Chinese Workers Association) causing trouble, but he was afraid that the Hu District would take sides and use the issue of military supplies to pressure him into compromising.

"What's wrong? Did the higher-ups talk to you?" Su Tianyu asked anxiously.

"There was no formal communication, but Mr. Long, who is close to Commander Xiang, just called Jun-ge and asked him to persuade you," Su Miaomiao replied.

Su Tianyu frowned, "Isn't that the same thing? Asking General Gui to persuade me, isn't that a threat?"

"Not really." Su Miaomiao asked bluntly, "Have you not been able to reach an agreement on your end?"

"Whether or not we can reach an agreement mainly depends on the attitude of the Hu District," Su Tianyu responded without hesitation, "But our bottom line is very clear, and we can't back down any further. Even if we don't do the military supplies business, and find a new supplier, we can't give up military power. To put it bluntly, it's already difficult for external forces to control the local government, and then we're going to have several military and political forces involved. How can we have peace?! Such a small place, with local forces, the Bernardo family, us, and the Huagonghui, how can we maintain balance?!"

Old Triangle, Gui family group.

Gui Mengjun, next to Third Sister, listened closely to the phone, pointed to his chest, and smiled, meaning that Su Tianyu's words were directed at him.

Third Sister paused and replied, "The reason I'm calling you is not to persuade you. Jun-ge asked me to tell you that no matter what, no matter who supports the Huagonghui, the cooperative model between the two families will not be changed, and the goods here will only go to Dragon City. When necessary, Jun-ge will fight for it with the higher-ups."

Hearing this, Su Tianyu's expression immediately changed, "That's why I say, we're still family! My brother-in-law is really breaking his back for us...!"

"Hehe!" Gui Mengjun smiled speechlessly, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the side to sit down.

Next to him, Su Miaomiao talked to Su Tianyu about recent events.

...

Garrison camp at Bana City Airport.

Seven or eight military vehicles carrying soldiers with diarrhea were stopped at the gate by Deputy Regiment Commander Yang. One side wanted to leave, and the other blocked the way, and they were at a stalemate.

"Bang!"

The door of the leading military vehicle opened, and an officer of the Huagonghui armed forces got out, pointed at Deputy Regiment Commander Yang, and shouted, "Are you just going to block here and not move?!"

"Without orders, I definitely can't leave," Deputy Regiment Commander Yang replied.

"Fine, you said it!" The officer was also angry and roared, "Everyone in the camp, assemble! We brothers were able to fight our way in, and we can fight our way out! I don't believe anyone can really suffocate us here?!"

"Di Ling Ling!"

The shouting echoed, and alarms sounded in the camp. A large number of officers who had not been drinking water that night led a swarm of soldiers, carrying guns, and rushed out.

"You want to make trouble?" Deputy Regiment Commander Yang asked.

"What's wrong?!" The officer put his hands on his hips, "Will you let us through or not!"

"I'm just afraid you won't make trouble," Deputy Regiment Commander Yang turned around and shouted, "Everyone come over here, park the military vehicles here, and let's see who dares to push them away!"

On both sides of the road, soldiers from the Third Division, who had been prepared, rushed out of more than a hundred troop carriers and moved towards the gate in neat formations.

Inside the car, Xin Xiaodong looked at the thousands of people facing each other and continued to smoke calmly.

"Regiment Commander, do you think they'll come?" The young man in the passenger seat turned around and asked.

"Hehe!" Xin Xiaodong chuckled, "Don't worry about them, as long as the troops don't withdraw from the city, we'll block them here. If they dare to fire, then we'll start a war."
