After more than half an hour of mediation, Feng Zhengyang finally put aside his prejudice against Chen Yu.

However, he still had reservations about Liang Zheng's rebellion.

He had served in the same army as Liang Zheng for over ten years and knew Liang Zheng's character very well. Although Liang Zheng sometimes went too far, he simply couldn't believe that Liang Zheng would dare to do such a thing, which was a serious crime of betraying the country!

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Feng Zhengyang, Chen Yu proposed a compromise.

That is, Feng Zhengyang sent his trusted men to infiltrate the granary. Whether Liang Zheng had rebelled or not, they would know immediately.

Feng Zhengyang did not immediately agree to the plan. He still had doubts. In such a special period, if Liang Zheng did not discover that he had sent someone to infiltrate the granary, it would be fine. But if Liang Zheng did discover it, what would he think? Even if Liang Zheng did not have any rebellious intentions, he would probably still harbor resentment, which would affect the unity of the garrison area.

Furthermore, sneaking into the grain depot under such harsh conditions could easily lead to accidental injury on both sides, causing unnecessary casualties. Who will bear the responsibility after the natural disaster ends?

After weighing the pros and cons, Feng Zhengyang ultimately rejected Chen Yu's proposal, stating that he, Feng Zhengyang, always acted with integrity and would never do anything underhanded. He would confirm Liang Zheng's intentions through fair and just means.

However, conditions are limited now. Although the garrison has more than 10,000 people, there are only so many means of transportation. Feng Zhengyang can only mobilize so many people at the moment. If these people enter the granary, Liang Zhengzhen can only deliver vegetables if he really wants to deal with him.

Moreover, as the deputy commander of the garrison, Liang Zheng's influence in the military is not much less than that of the commander. It is unknown how many of Liang Zheng's confidants are still in the garrison. Haven't you seen that even retired company commander Zhang Tao has become involved with Liang Zheng? The longer this drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Feng Zhengyang.

Finally, Chen Yu proposed a compromise: Feng Zhengyang could go to the granary openly, but his men had to be equipped with the weapons he provided.

Before the natural disaster, Chen Yu ordered 3,000 specially treated M4 assault rifles from the arms dealer Merica. These rifles could fire normally even at -80 degrees Celsius, and in such an extremely cold environment, their performance was many times better than that of ordinary firearms.

In order to nip this potential trouble in the bud, Chen Yu went to great lengths, planning to lend Feng Zhengyang 100 sticks.

Upon hearing that Chen Yu could produce 100 assault rifles in one go, Feng Zhengyang was somewhat shocked.

As a super-rich businessman, it's normal for Chen Yu to possess a few controlled weapons, but to produce 100 assault rifles at once, especially specially treated M4s, is that normal? It's definitely not normal!

However, regardless of the circumstances, Chen Yu is now on his side and intends to hand over these rifles to his soldiers, so he naturally won't be tactless and keep pressing the issue at this time.

Therefore, Feng Zhengyang agreed to Chen Yu's proposal without much consideration.

"Chen Yu, could you lend this car to my father as well?" Feng Xinran suddenly interjected, her eyes filled with expectation and urgency.

She was well aware of the danger of this operation. If her father were to fall behind at the grain depot, Chen Yu's sled, which combined bulletproof protection and speed, would greatly increase his chances of survival.

"Hey! Xiao Chen, you're really helping me out. Lend me your car, and I promise I'll return it to you untouched after it's all done," Feng Zhengyang chimed in.

Chen Yu's sled was far superior in performance to the sleds that their army had temporarily modified, so Feng Zhengyang was naturally tempted.

Moreover, as a businessman, Chen Yu could turn a blind eye to illegal gun possession during this special period. However, this sled is not only fast, but its bulletproof performance is also comparable to that of a light armored vehicle. If Chen Yu loses control in the future, it will be difficult to subdue it.

Therefore, it would be ideal to get the sled into one's own hands.

Although it was a loan, Feng Zhengyang never intended to return the 100 assault rifles to Chen Yu.

In this way, Chen Yu lost both his gun and his bulletproof sled, effectively removing his teeth completely.

Although it may seem unethical, what does morality matter compared to local stability?

Seeing that Feng Zhengyang and his daughter Feng Xinran were eyeing his sled, Chen Yu smiled and said to Feng Zhengyang, "I can lend you the sled, but what are you going to offer in exchange? It's a collaboration, I've already given so much, you should at least show some sincerity, right?"

Hearing Chen Yu say this, Feng Zhengyang was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Xiao Chen, you are assisting our military in handling affairs, so naturally we will not let you suffer any losses. Don't worry, after the natural disaster is over, I will apply to my superiors to give you an honorary commendation!"

Chen Yu was speechless. It was the apocalypse, who the hell cared about so-called honors and awards? Did Feng Zhengyang think he was naive or stupid?

"Forget about the commendation, Commander Feng. I can lend you the guns and vehicles without any problem, but I hope that after you take control of the grain depot, you can hand over some of the grain to me for distribution. Don't worry, I guarantee that this grain will be distributed reasonably to the disaster victims," ​​Chen Yu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhengyang sneered inwardly, thinking to himself, "Capitalists are capitalists after all. At a time like this, they're still thinking about profiting from the national crisis!"

Although he despised Chen Yu in his heart, he did not show it and magnanimously accepted Chen Yu's request.

He has the grain depot and the guns in his hands, so how they are distributed is entirely up to him.

Moreover, Chen Yu only mentioned a portion; hundreds of thousands of tons is a portion, and tens of kilograms is also a portion. There is a lot of room for manipulation here.

Seeing that Feng Zhengyang had accepted his terms, Chen Yu nodded slightly and smiled, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"With the military and civilians working together, we will overcome this difficult time!" Feng Zhengyang responded with a smile.

Both had their own agendas, but were very satisfied with the content of this collaboration.
