Chapter 11 At the Villa Late at Night

Late at night at 11:30, inside the villa of Deputy Commander Xu in Hua Mansion, seven or eight big shots, all over fifty years old and bearing the stars of generals, were looking at Zhou Xian with unpleasant expressions.

"Uncle Xu, Uncle Zhu, don't worry. No matter who kidnapped Zhou and Zhu, they must have demands," Zhou Xian said, sweat beading on his forehead. "There will definitely be negotiations later. They are definitely not in mortal danger at the moment."

Deputy Commander Xu looked at Zhou Xian indifferently, not responding at all.

Beside him, a division commander from the headquarters spoke first: "Zhou Xian! You said you wanted to mobilize the War Hammer mercenary group to encircle Bana City, and we approved the funds! You said you wanted to use the rebel army to reinforce, and we secretly ordered the Qing Yi Bureau! The matter has been pushed to this point, but the result is still unknown! We are also under a lot of pressure!"

"Uncle Jiu!" Zhou Xian immediately stood up and said, "The result is already beginning to show! Our work has not been ineffective! The Blackwater Legion has been stretched on two fronts, with 10,000 men inside the city and 8,000 outside, and they don't dare to combine their forces! Tagu's situation is already very dangerous, and he can only rely on the army to suppress the resistance in the city! Before I came in, Booker had already called me. Eighty percent of the political affairs department does not support Tagu, and their power is very strong! And the rebel army, although they can't break through in a short time, the Chi army doesn't dare to leave the defense zone either! Their numbers are limited and they certainly can't form strong support for Tagu! I'm only one breath away! As long as we break the balance of Bana City from the inside and the outside, Tagu will be defeated!"

Deputy Commander Xu said, "Zhou is about to take the postgraduate entrance exam!"

Zhou Xian was stunned.

"The responsibility for this matter is not yours, but Bana City has indeed been delayed for too long. The resources we have mobilized are already much more than expected." Deputy Commander Xu looked up at Zhou Xian. "I am the deputy commander, but not the highest commander of the district! I also have to answer to my superiors!"

These words were already very heavy, making Zhou Xian uneasy.

Deputy Commander Xu turned to look around. "I will retire after this term! What is the purpose of taking Bana City?! Isn't it for you younger generations, for those of you present, to gain merit and climb higher!"

Everyone was silent.

"My son's hands are for painting. I'm sorry for him." Deputy Commander Xu sighed, his face full of fatigue.

Hearing this, Zhou Xian knelt on the ground with a thud, almost crying as he said, "Uncle Xu! Uncle Zhu! Uncles and elders... I know you have been supporting me and nurturing me... I am very grateful! But this Bana City incident is not just about the success or failure of me, Zhou Xian. It also concerns whether our old faction can obtain the resources to change the political landscape of the Hua military group! Once Bana City is under our control, the next commander-in-chief of the Hua military group will definitely come from our side! The regional governor will also give strong political resources!"

Everyone was silent.

Zhou Xian looked at the old men in front of him and said in a trembling voice, "Uncles, you all watched me grow up! For the sake of my grandfather and my father, please support me one more time! I will definitely make this happen!"

"Let's do it this way." Deputy Commander Xu stood up. "Lao Jiu, you help Xiao Xian allocate resources!"

"Yes!"

After saying that, Deputy Commander Xu got up, stared at Zhou Xian with a deep gaze for a long time, and finally said nothing, turning around and going upstairs.

Zhou Xian's father had already passed away, so why were these old men still helping him?! That was because although the Zhou family was not as prosperous as before, it still had students and proteges all over the Hua military group, and the main members of the family also occupied high positions.

Although none of the Zhou family members were present today, Deputy Commander Xu had received countless calls of condolences before the meeting, almost all from the Zhou family's generals, both from the navy and the army. And these people did not mention Zhou Xian at all, only inquiring about Xu Zhou's situation.

Also, Zhou Xian's mother was also an outstanding female politician, very influential in the regional parliament and the Hua community. In addition, what Zhou Xian was doing was indeed fighting for the interests of the old faction, so everyone was relatively supportive of him. The six or seven people on the sofa just now, although their words had some complaining meaning, did not completely deny Zhou Xian's work.

In fact, as far as Deputy Commander Xu himself was concerned, it would naturally be a great thing if he could plan and control Bana City, but even if he couldn't, it would not have much impact on him, because he was about to retire. So, compared to merit, he hoped more that he could land safely and his family would be safe.

Deputy Commander Xu went upstairs, called his accompanying adjutant alone, and said to him in a low voice, "Investigate the Dragon City! See if An Zecheng did it!"

"Yes!" The adjutant nodded.

"If he did it, I will chop off one of his daughter's hands!" Deputy Commander Xu said with a gloomy face, "It is impolite not to reciprocate!"

...

Kang Dinghuang had been working with the Qing Yi Bureau for two years, providing more than 80% of the resistance to the Lao Li team's control of Dragon City, but at a critical moment, the higher-ups said that no matter how well you do, you are only assisting Zhou Xian.

Although Zhou Xian's plan for Bana City had many mistakes and his methods were relatively radical, he returned to Hua Mansion, knelt down in Deputy Commander Xu's house, and called out "Uncle," and the support and reinforcements he received might not be obtainable by Kang Dinghuang even after five years of hard work.

Life is an unfair game. Whether you choose to give up halfway or try your best to catch up is up to you.

As soon as Zhou Xian left Deputy Commander Xu's house, Kang Dinghuang received the news. He stood outside the camp, smoking a cigarette and muttering, "The margin for error is really high!"

...

The next morning.

Just as Su Tianyu was about to call his brother, Jiang Zhou found him in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Su Tianyu asked, sitting in his office.

Jiang Zhou closed the door, stepped forward and said, "Not good!"

"What's the matter?"

"Our intelligence agency has received definite news." Jiang Zhou lowered his voice, "Zhou Xian is completely anxious because the rebel army has not been able to break through the defense line for a long time! He returned to the district last night to pull resources! He is preparing to fight a decisive battle in Bana City! We have not yet found out which forces he has contacted! But one thing is certain, Tagu is in danger!"

Su Tianyu was silent.

"Otherwise, let's rob them!" Jiang Zhou frowned, "Let's just go all in on Bana City, show all our cards, and see who wins or loses!"

Su Tianyu hesitated, "I always feel like we don't have enough cards now!"

Jiang Zhou walked around the room with his hands behind his back, "There is another way, but it's too much of a gamble!"

Su Tianyu looked at him, "Brother, we wouldn't be thinking of the same thing, would we?"
