Beneath the Upper City

No one knows when it began—

But the world was split in two.

Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.

Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...

Chapter 1172 Pure Meeting

In response to Duan Weijun's question, before Ning Fan could explain, Luo Xiu on the side laughed first.

Duan Weijun looked at Luo Xiu.

"Luo... Um, Minister Luo, is there anything wrong with the question I just asked?"

After all, it was a real high-level meeting, and during work, people were addressed by their positions.

Luo Xiu had already thought of a name for his official position, and Ning Fan had no objection.

"This wall is not for protection against people."

Luo Xiu lit a cigarette and spoke softly.

Duan Weijun couldn't figure it out for a long time.

Not on guard against others?

Then what are you guarding against?

For now, their only enemy in the Upper City is the Dian City.

Are there any other weird things out there?

Luo Xiu looked at Duan Weijun's extremely curious expression, then turned to look at Ning Fan.

"Grand Commander, can I explain this to Commander Duan?"

Luo Xiu smiled and said, "That's perfect. Let's see if my guess is right."

Ning Fan smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Luo Xiu took a deep puff of cigarette and then cleared his throat.

"The idea of ​​building a wall strong enough to block the Peak City, and almost running through the entire Upper City, is simply unrealistic!"

Duan Weijun was stunned.

What Luo Xiu said coincided with his thoughts.

The forbidden wall at that time was only bounded by the F70 area, and its length was at most a few hundred meters.

But even so, with the entire district investing all its resources, it took seven months to complete the project.

Although they now have more resources than the former F District and more manpower, the length...

There is also a world of difference!

It was precisely because of this that Duan Weijun felt that Ning Fan’s idea was a bit too unrealistic just now.

Luo Xiu quickly explained to him.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Grand Commander has three real purposes for building this wall."

Luo Xiu raised a finger: "First, it shows an attitude!"

"Now, although many people know that after we took advantage of Master Xu's capital, we have almost occupied half of the land in the upper city."

"But this... is just occupation! This land doesn't actually belong to us."

"Commander Duan, I know you haven't figured out what I mean yet. I'll explain it to you slowly."

"From the attitude of the people in Upper City towards us, it's easy to see that even though we have already taken this land into our own hands, they still harbor hostility towards us."

"Of course, our team remains the same. We don't have any sense of belonging to Upper City, nor do we consider the people here as our own."

"Having this happen within our organization is not going to be beneficial for our long-term development."

"But if we have this wall, it will be different!"

"This wall will completely divide the two places. Outside the wall belongs to Diancheng, and inside the wall belongs to us."

"Don't underestimate the psychological changes a wall brings. Once it appears, I believe it will definitely divide the hearts of the people on both sides of the city."

"For example, we, the people in the lower city, and those in the upper city, are actually all human beings. At least on the surface, there is no difference."

"But why is there such great hostility between us?"

"Of course there are some historical reasons for this, but the most intuitive one is the division between the upper city and the lower city."

"Once identities are clarified, camps will be truly divided."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Ning Fan's reaction.

Ning Fan smiled, but there was no sign of approval.

Because he knew that it was normal for Luo Xiu to be able to see through the ins and outs of this.

This man is so smart!

Luo Xiu did not show any disappointment at Ning Fan's indifference.

He extended a second finger.

"According to the information the Grand Commander gave me, the leader of Diancheng is an extremely confident, even somewhat conceited person."

"If I have to give an explanation, based on the information I've received, this person wouldn't allow anyone to stand shoulder to shoulder with him."

"Even though we occupied half of the land in Upper City, we were still considered outsiders and were not welcomed by the city."

"These places we have occupied have not completely submitted to Diancheng. In this case, there is no need for Diancheng to help them."

"Once we clearly divide the camps, this wall will be like tearing through the window paper."

"We are no longer outsiders. Even if we are outsiders, given the current situation..."

Luo Xiu's eyes gleamed, "Diancheng doesn't like anyone standing shoulder to shoulder with him, yet we are competing with him on this land!"

"The Grand Commander said that Summit City has been attracting us to attack them. There must be some reason we don't know about."

"And if, under such circumstances, Diancheng still doesn't make any moves to declare war on us, then the Generalissimo's speculation is confirmed!"

Luo Xiu's speech speed became faster and faster, and without even giving others time to think, he raised his third finger.

"The last reason is the flaw."

Hearing this, Ning Fan's smile deepened.

This time, Luo Xiu no longer paid attention to Ning Fan's reaction and completely got into his own rhythm.

"Even if Diancheng didn't attack after the wall appeared, that doesn't mean they would do nothing."

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. This principle is not only understood by us, but they will also understand it."

"After all, this is the upper city. In my opinion, it won't be difficult for some termites to infiltrate here."

"Therefore, I absolutely believe that from the moment we start building the city walls, there will be spies from Peak City inside our city."

"They will definitely try to find any information about us."

Luo Xiu snuffed out his cigarette, having only taken a puff, and looked at Ning Fan again: "And the chief commander, we must give the enemy a chance to infiltrate. Because only when they feel that they have discovered our weakness, will they... reveal their own weakness!"

Then, Luo Xiu's gaze swept over everyone present.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Luo Xiu suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Don't you think that the people in our meeting today are... too pure?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

purely?

How is it pure?

Liang Ming responded with a smile at this time: "We all came from the city."

Bang!

“That’s right!”

Luo Xiu snapped his fingers and then said confidently, "If I'm not mistaken about the Chief's intentions, then this will most likely be the last high-level meeting with only people from the Lower City!"
