Chapter 152 The Round Table Conference

Anyone who could attend the round table conference was definitely not a fool.

What did administrative power rely on to be controlled? To put it bluntly, it was military force. Now that the city had been taken, the Lao Li team wanted 100% of the garrison rights, which was equivalent to occupying the highest leading position in Bana City. Huang Peishan and Wang Xiao found this unacceptable.

Without the right to station troops, they had no right to speak. When everyone's relationship was good, everything could be discussed, but once there was a disagreement, military power was the hammer that could make the final decision.

In fact, the Huagong Association could accept the Lao Li team taking the lion's share, for example, around a 6:4 split. But they never expected Su Tianyu to want to take it all, and his attitude was very tough, repeatedly saying it was non-negotiable.

As a result, the representatives of the Huagong Association were also dissatisfied.

"To attack Bana City, our armed forces gathered from six regions, and the mobilization costs alone were more than 100 million. Now that the dust has settled, you want the brothers below to withdraw. Who can accept this?" Huang Peishan spread his hands and said, "Anyway, I can't explain it to my superiors and subordinates."

Wang Xiao glanced at Su Tianyu, "Originally, I didn't want to say some things, but since we're talking about this, and you're so persistent, let's be frank. After your Xin Xiaodong regiment entered Bana City, they immediately broke into the vault after taking the administrative building and took tens of millions of cash from it. That's a fact, right? We're working together, but you made such a big commotion without even saying hello. Is that reasonable?! Also, before, when you attended the Bernardo family's dinner, if our people hadn't stepped in to rescue... Bruna might have been executed. Didn't we do our best? The Huagong Association also sacrificed a lot of people, right?!"

Su Tianyu looked at him, "Hehe, why could the Xin Xiaodong regiment find the vault? That's because their regiment was the first to enter Bana City and took down the most difficult administrative building. The brothers risked their lives, so what's the problem with taking some reward? As for the contribution you mentioned, I'll just mention two points: it was our people who controlled the administrative building; it was also our people who blocked the Warhammer Mercenary Group at the canal entrance. If you want to talk about sacrifice, I can give you a detailed list of combat attrition..."

"It's unreasonable for you to say that!" Wang Xiao stood up and said, "Our intelligence personnel were lurking under the noses of the enemy and contributed to Bruna's plan...!"

"Bang!"

While the two were arguing, Jiang Zhou heavily put down his coffee cup.

Wang Xiao glanced at him and didn't say anything more, only sullenly bending down and sitting back in his chair.

"Hehe." Jiang Zhou smiled, turned to look at Su Tianyu, and asked, "What are we having for lunch?"

Su Tianyu was stunned for a moment, "I asked the restaurant to prepare a cold buffet."

"A cold buffet is good, it can cool down the anger in everyone's hearts. It's too hot, and people easily get irritable." Jiang Zhou looked at his watch, "Let's adjourn for now. These problems can't be settled in a day or two. Let's study them again in the afternoon."

Everyone knew that Jiang Zhou was trying to smooth things over, because if they continued to talk, the two sides might fall out, which would not be good for the overall situation.

"Okay, let's adjourn for now." Su Tianyu stood up.

"Let's go, let's eat, fill our stomachs and then work." Wu Han also said.

...

A few minutes later, everyone left one after another.

Jiang Zhou asked Su Tianyu with his hands behind his back, "You can't make concessions on this?"

"No." Su Tianyu replied without hesitation.

"Alas, you're making it difficult for me." Jiang Zhou said speechlessly.

Su Tianyu immediately said, "Then don't worry about it."

Jiang Zhou turned to look at him.

Su Tianyu immediately responded, "I'll just say one thing."

"You say." Jiang Zhou nodded.

"At the decision-making level, I am responsible to Lao Li and report to you. No one else matters." Su Tianyu said with a very serious expression, "On the issue of the cooperation cycle, the Lao Li team can never do without you, and even more so without the Old Tri-Angle, that's obvious, right? Now that the city has been taken, everyone wants to eat something hot, that's definitely no problem. But there must be an order to who picks up the bowl first, otherwise, it will be impossible to do anything later."

Jiang Zhou was silent for a long time, then lowered his voice and said, "The Huagong Association and us are not subordinate, I told you that, right? Moreover, their president has a very close relationship with some of my elders. In a sense, their political stance is closer to the Hua District than you are."

"I know." Su Tianyu nodded.

"I'll give you two days to handle it properly, otherwise, they'll call their families and force me to take sides. Then I'll definitely have to speak for them." Jiang Zhou instructed.

These words were already very clear. In terms of political stance, the Huagong Association was closer to the Hua District, because they may have been in "secret contact" for a long time. But in terms of personal relationships, Jiang Zhou obviously liked Su Tianyu more, and the latter could be considered someone he was preparing to cultivate.

In fact, the Huagong Association and Jiang Zhou had very deep personal connections, but because of development issues, this association had recently absorbed many new members, and Jiang Zhou didn't like them very much. For example, that Huang Peishan, who had been shouting the tune of only cooperating and not obeying orders.

After being pointed out, Su Tianyu immediately nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"That's it." Jiang Zhou patted Su Tianyu's arm and quickly left.

At noon, Huang Peishan only took Wang Xiao to meet Jiang Zhou alone in the restaurant, intending to get his support, but the latter talked about other things and didn't give any promises at all.

The two ran into a wall and returned to the hotel dejectedly.

At the same time, Su Tiannan, who was isolated by Huang Peishan and Wang Xiao, also received a call from above, ordering him to leave Bana City immediately.

It was not difficult to guess why the superiors called at this time. Huang must have complained to his superiors, saying that Su Tiannan and Su Tianyu were relatives and should avoid the next negotiation.

Su Tiannan felt a belly full of anger, but on the surface, he did not show any dissatisfaction. He only sent a short message to Su Tianyu and immediately left Bana City by car.

In the afternoon, the round table conference was canceled.

Huang Peishan sat in the living room of his residence, crossing his legs and said, "We definitely can't give the garrison rights entirely to The Dragon City Rises, otherwise, we would have worked for nothing."

"Yes." Wang Xiao agreed.

"Let the association's foreign liaison department communicate directly with the Hua District. If Jiang Zhou is unwilling to express his position, let the superiors force him to take sides. With the support of the Hua District, Su Tianyu won't be able to play around. They rely on the military equipment of the Old Tri-Angle to survive. One word from there and he will definitely back down." Huang Peishan frowned and said, "Secondly, mobilize another two thousand armed men into the city to operate in our airport defense zone. If he doesn't want to hand over power, we will increase our military defense efforts. This is a bottom line issue and cannot be conceded!"

"Okay." Wang Xiao nodded.

At the same time, Su Tianyu dialed Da Bai's phone, "You and Bruna come over, and call Bo Ang."

"No problem." Da Bai immediately responded.

...

In The Dragon City Rises, Tan Hengqiang reached out and pushed a document in front of An Zecheng, "Take a look, is this wording okay?"

An Zecheng reached out and took it, frowning as he looked at it.
