Chapter 660: Chapter 564: Sharpening Blades towards ’Pigs and Sheep’ (Please subscribe!)_1
Seeing Su Yu ask about the ’fence sitters,’ Ling answered straightforwardly, "That will be our job. Within three days, we will make them ’sell’ us their territories. Once the situation on their side is somewhat sorted out, I will head to you."
Upon hearing this word from Ling.
Su Yu was stunned.
His mouth fell open, not knowing what to say.
’Sell’ to Ling?
If he wasn’t being delicate, he was planning to take by force. Su Yu thought that Ling was going to negotiate with him to call upon his authority and persuade those ’fence sitters’ to join in the trade.
As for how the ’fence sitters’ would negotiate with Ling, what conditions they might raise, whether they would allow the circulation of the Asia Dollar and other details, it was none of his business. At most, he would act as a mediator.
The entire negotiation would probably take at least half a month.
But looking at the current situation.
Ling had no intention of negotiating with them at all.
Instead, he was planning to seize directly.
Pleasantly referred to as... ’buying.’ Not even half a month was required, but a mere three days. This was too ostentatiously domineering. Even if you attacked, you wouldn’t necessarily be able to break through this map in half a month.
Su Yu took a deep breath, suppressing his astonishment.
"Leader Ling, are you serious? You’re going to take actions against all of them? Then...you...I...Should I send some people too?" Su Yu knew he was in no position to dissuade Ling from this idea, for Ling himself might not even have the power to cancel it.
Moreover, this was similar to Ling’s standard method of operation.
In fact, Su Yu wasn’t willing to send people either, but it mattered to show this attitude.
"No need. We are fully capable of completing this ’acquisition.’ You just need to coordinate your internal affairs," Ling replied, not worried that Su Yu would leak the plan—since the soldiers were already in their assigned positions.
Fifteen minutes later.
Without anything being leaked by Su Yu, they would all know. In a bid for a quick resolution, all soldiers embedded in the neighboring territories had been activated and given tasks. As soon as the time came, they would act simultaneously.
Three days.
That wasn’t just the time needed to take over these territories.
If it would take three days just for these trash troops, wouldn’t that be nonsense? The main operation wouldn’t last more than two hours, while the rest of the time would be for taking over and rectifying the local situation.
They couldn’t very well go and meet Su Yu without having taken over these territories yet, could they?
"Well...okay, I understand. I’ll soon summon my subordinates for a meeting," Su Yu responded with a wry smile, feeling a bit frustrated at being of little use, even though he didn’t intend to send his men in the first place.
"Hmm, regarding those Myanmar people, you should take a note, these are..." The reason for Ling not telling Su Yu earlier was that these people were not purely spies. Instead, they had been bought and lured in, and they had good relations with Su Yu. They might betray Su Yu, but they probably wouldn’t kill him outright.
Su Yu quickly took notes.
This time, he was truly shocked. While the others weren’t too troublesome, a few could be a real pain as they kept hanging around him. Some were even far away. But one of them was in his personal guard, serving as the deputy head. This was a little too much for him to swallow.
"Thank you," Su Yu expressed his gratitude.
"No need for courtesy, Leader Su Yu. I wish us a happy cooperation. You will soon understand how wise the choice you made today was," Ling said with a rare smile.
"I hope so," Su Yu replied with a bitter smile.
He thought he was crazy enough.
But Ling was evidently crazier.
This felt like stirring up a hornet’s nest. While the many small factions inside Myanmar might have their reservations, they wouldn’t be too happy with the sudden emergence of a unified faction with an individual leader.
Su Yu was unsure of how Ling would deal with this. If Myanmar decided to wage a full-scale national war, they would be doomed.
He could only hope that Ling’s support had a plan in mind.
He couldn’t quite wrap his head around it, so he decided not to bother at all. He would call his subordinates for a meeting to announce the news. But before that, he needed to clear those on the list.
Thus, upon receiving Su Yu’s orders,
The personal guards began capturing individuals according to the list. No one escaped. These people were all locked up together without any beatings or even interrogations. Whether these people belonged to Myanmar or not, they would only decide that after the handover with Ling.
The most important task now
Was to convince his men to accept the agreement he had made with Ling.
Immediately.
Su Yu gathered his trusted men for a meeting.
The meeting lasted for over two hours. Using his position, Su Yu forcefully pushed through the resolution, leaving the others in a state of confusion. It hadn’t been very long and instead of siding with the Burmese, Su Yu chose to align himself with Ling on the side. Wasn’t this nonsense?
However, under Su Yu’s analysis, they felt that following Ling might not be too bad.
The only concern was whether Ling could withstand the pressure from the Burmese. If the Burmese were provoked to insanity by this news and decided to launch a forced attack, things could really get messy.
........
Command Room.
Tang Qing was standing before the projection screen.
With crossed arms, he listened to Tang Yi reporting feedback from the fighters. Not only from Su Yu, but from the Burmese as well.
The Burmese side was also in deep frustration. Their backhand strategy was easily discovered, which was beyond belief. They had just sent people over, and this awkward situation had arisen, completely out of their expectations.
They had no choice but to push more soldiers in.
Tang Qing thought the guy who gave this order was an idiot. You were explaining the situation, yet you sent more soldiers back, provoking the negotiator who wanted to curse his lineage. Was this some twisted joke by an incompetent teammate?
Who would deal with you if you played like this?
Although the guy giving the order was a bit brainless, the result was commendable. Su Yu almost sold his own territory, making Tang Qing the biggest benefactor. He wondered if this was a streak of good luck.
Su Yu seemed to be going insane.
The Burmese seemed baffled.
But all this was good news. Everyone has their lucky days.
Although taking over Su Yu’s territory will mean undertaking all the infrastructure in the region, so what? Tang Qing was looking for an opportunity to increase the issuance limit of the Asia Dollar.
Tang Qing was confident that the issuance limit of his Asia Dollar could exceed at least 300 billion once he took control of this vast area within two months. This would be the real harvest, the money spent on infrastructure was nothing.
Later, with domestic currency exchange, investment, loans, and various other operations, he would soon complete his task of achieving 300 billion. Money was nothing. Paying in Asia Dollars, although he couldn’t say there was an endless supply, spending a few billion on road and bridge construction was still manageable.
As he saw the task preparation progress on the projection screen reach 100%,
Tang Qing immediately ordered.
"Tang Yi, tell the fighters to take action immediately. We need to end this task before Yangon can respond. Gather all soldiers in the territory to take over this region quickly, excluding only the necessary defense forces."
Tang Qing pointed to the red area on the map.
That was the target of this mission.
Ling hadn’t lied.
Tang Qing planned to ’buy’ it from those ’fence sitters’. But the price would depend on the situation. In most cases, ’buying’ was just an exchange: Well friend, I offer your lives for your territory, how about it?
Today,
It was finally time to ’ring the bells and drums for the pigs and sheep’.
As for what Su Yu worried about whether Ling would confront the Burmese, it was unlikely. Small scale conflicts might happen, but no major ones. If that happened, the territory would really become the focus of worldwide attention. Then they would truly stir things up.
They would have then lost the moral high ground.
He couldn’t be the one to lead.
Once he did, the first ones to confront him might not just be the Burmese—it could likely be Huaxia. Because once those ’fence sitters’ were eradicated, the territory would border directly with Huaxia.
At that time, you would be fighting right outside the door of Huaxia.
Erm... Tang Qing really didn’t dare to do this.
After all, he planned to build a port and trade with Huaxia in the future.
What Tang Qing wanted was to create a chip this time. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
A chip that would legitimise the Asia Dollar’s existence in the world, becoming a real regional settlement and circulation currency. What was originally planned to be implemented next year, has now made its way into the current schedule due to Su Yu’s madness.
