Chapter 169 The Big Plan

Seven thirty in the evening, by the fish pond in the backyard of the Tongji Association.

Su Tianyu, Yu Mingyuan, Da Bai, Fei Pingsheng, Kong Zhengui, Zhou Tonghui, Wei Xiangzuo, Gu Baisun, and the unofficial member, Master Lu, were all gathered together to discuss the "big plan."

"I'll handle the matters with the Chi Army," Su Tianyu said, sitting on a small stool, taking the lead. "I've had a lot of contact with Brother Hu, and I'm familiar with the people there, so it's easier to get in touch."

"They'll definitely let you do it; there's nothing to discuss there," Yu Mingyuan said, crossing his legs and frowning. "Let's mainly discuss the matter of the goods."

"How big is the pie?" Gu Baisun asked curiously.

"Initially, it was 130 million, but District One added to it later, so there's a total of nearly 300 million in military equipment," Yu Mingyuan said in a low voice. "Enough to arm two divisions."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng immediately raised his small hand and said, "Is it too late for me to quit now?"

"Don't be ridiculous, you're the main force; what are you quitting for!" Su Tianyu retorted.

"Thank you for your whole family!" Lu Feng said, rolling his eyes. "Damn it, military equipment for two divisions. Once you're done with this, the upper echelons of District One will turn Dragon City upside down! This matter... definitely won't end without consequences. Once it's exposed, no one can bear the consequences. I'm not going to be the main force!"

Gu Baisun also showed a solemn expression: "...Such a large batch of goods, how many people would be guarding it? How many people do we need to mobilize to transport it away? It's too difficult."

"If it's difficult, you don't have to do it," Yu Mingyuan replied coldly.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the meeting immediately became subtle. Gu Baisun glanced at Yu Mingyuan, then turned his head and stopped speaking.

Fei Pingsheng glanced at everyone's expressions and immediately changed the subject: "A large amount of goods is also a pressure for the escorting unit. If they do it ostentatiously, they're afraid of being targeted by people in the Old Mo region, because it's very chaotic there. You can't guarantee that some warlord won't get a hot head and directly intercept the goods. Moreover, supporting the rebel army is also morally wrong in terms of regional public opinion, so I guess they definitely won't do it openly. The escorting troops may not be very grand, but setting up checkpoints for protection along the way is certain."

Hearing this, Su Tianyu immediately took over: "That's what I wanted to say. I have a plan in mind, but I don't know if it will work."

"What plan?" Yu Mingyuan asked.

"The specific details haven't been worked out yet," Su Tianyu said after a pause. "But what I'm thinking is to steal it, to make a move within Dragon City. First, figure out their transport route. We can set up temporary checkpoints along the way, pretending to be a newly added inspection unit, or even, if necessary, control a checkpoint. We can directly take on their identities and get close to the goods face to face. If we do it this way, I can have the Chi Army cooperate on the periphery, letting them create a sudden commotion on the border line, so the rebel army's receiving unit will definitely not come over in time."

Hearing this, Kong Zhengui frowned: "Isn't it too risky to steal it like this? Such important goods, they will definitely arrange their own trusted men at the temporary checkpoints. Once you can't control it, and the guns go off, and the location is within the territory, then no one can escape."

"Once the goods leave the country, they will definitely fall into the hands of the rebel army," Su Tianyu explained softly. "The situation over there is different from here. They are in a war zone, and they may openly use two armies to receive the goods. Tell me, is it more dangerous for us to directly face two armies, or is it more dangerous to steal it in the district? Most importantly, our strength is not enough to clash with regular troops. If we want to make this happen, we can only take a risky approach, think of a path that the other party can't guess, so they have no way to prevent it."

Kong Zhengui immediately waved his hand: "I don't agree, I think it's too risky."

After a long silence, Zhou Tonghui also added: "I also don't recommend doing it within the border line. One wrong move, and things will definitely go wrong. If the border is sealed off at that time, you won't even have a place to run."

Su Tianyu picked up his teacup: "The Chi Army's people can be placed on the outer edge of the line. As long as we succeed on the inside and there are no personnel caught at the scene, we can quickly send the goods out. This will directly solve the problem of how to transport the military equipment for two divisions. If we do it outside the line, we will have to face the rebel army's heavily armed escort troops. You don't speak their language, and the appearance of your personnel is too different. I can't think of how we can steal the goods from these people."

"The Chi Army can add more people," Kong Zhengui immediately said: "Let him prepare more troops over there."

"Even if the entire Chi Army goes up, it's only a few thousand people. How can they steal the goods from one to two armies?" Su Tianyu asked, frowning.

At this point, the discussion fell into a stalemate again.

"I find that everyone still hasn't figured out the nature of this matter," Su Tianyu took a sip of water and emphasized again: "We have to understand one thing, this job is like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth. If it succeeds, it can bring us qualitative benefits, but the probability of failure is much greater than the probability of success! It's very dangerous, very tricky, and may even cost someone's life. If this cannot be accepted, then I don't think we should do it. You can't plan a very tricky thing into something seamless; that's just deceiving yourself, and the planned plan will definitely not succeed."

"I think what Liu Zi said is...!" Da Bai thought for a moment, preparing to speak.

Kong Zhengui held the teacup in both hands and responded again: "No matter what, I think this plan is not feasible. If you want to steal and deceive, it means that not many people will be involved. A checkpoint has 500 soldiers, and you can't get 600. There is a limit to the number of people. Once you meet, there is a possibility of exposure. This plan is too dangerous."

Da Bai glanced at Kong Zhengui and swallowed back what he was about to say.

"I think it's better to do it outside the line. It's impossible for the rebel army to just stand on the border line, that's too obvious," Kong Zhengui thought for a moment and said: "My idea is that the Chi Army should put some pressure on the rebel army and move towards the border line before we take action, delaying their receiving time. Then, we hire private armed forces in the Old Mo region, with a larger number of people, and wait for the government troops to leave the country with the goods, or intercept them within the border line. This way, it's easier to fight and easier to retreat."

"Don't let outsiders get involved, I don't agree with hiring people," Su Tianyu said without hesitation: "The people who do this must be people we can trust!"

"How many people can we trust, just the people who are here?" Kong Zhengui also retorted: "As long as you use other people besides those present, there is a possibility of exposure?!"

"That's right, human nature cannot be controlled," Zhou Tonghui also interjected: "If you use people from the association, there is also the possibility of leaking information. I don't think there's anything wrong with hiring people. Don't tell them the mission objective in advance, don't give them extra information, enter the scene and start shooting directly, and let the Chi Army take over the goods after the fight. This way, there won't be any accidents. If we go with this plan, I can call some people over from District One."

Su Tianyu listened to the two of them, without refuting or saying anything more. He just turned his head to look at Yu Mingyuan: "Then you make the decision!"
