Li Xin was curious when he heard this, because he had never seen what Liu Yang said in the literature.

But on second thought, even he would have to hold a closed-door meeting with Guang Tongchen.

It is normal that some things cannot be recorded in official documents.

Li Xin asked, "Tell me about this in detail."

Liu Yang nodded, and Weng Hua beside him also paid attention and prepared to record the information.

Liu Yang said, "Our Yadun region has a relatively long and narrow terrain, and it is also highland."

"The terrain of this location is quite critical, and it connects to several surrounding forces."

"From a distance, this place connects our Blueprint Biotechnology Group and the Locke Kingdom."

"The geographical environment of this location is unique. Initially, the Rhodes Power Group began to attack Yadun and wanted to build a base here as a forward base to monitor our blueprint and the Locke Kingdom."

"They spent sixteen years here, and the local resistance continued unabated, but they eventually retreated."

"You probably know the reason for their withdrawal. Their homeland was on fire, and they had expended too many troops and resources in the Yadun region, so they naturally gave up."

"The second to attack here is the Lock Kingdom. While their territory doesn't directly border Aden, several of their vassal states do. This place also serves as high ground. Once we capture it, we'll be able to overlook the Todut War Zone in the blueprint."

"The Locke Kingdom also spent twenty-one years here, and the resistance never stopped, consuming a huge amount of manpower and material resources."

"Because they don't border the mainland, all the supplies and equipment they transport have to come from vassal states. They even built a lot of industrial facilities within the territory of their vassal, Dewan Technology, directly supporting the development of Dewan Technology."

"But in the end, the Kingdom of Locke also withdrew from Aden because their old king died from excessive use of psychic energy and his soul was devoured by the Warp Demon. Several princes with real power started a civil war because of their struggle for the throne."

"The Yadun region, which has little output and constantly consumes troops and various resources, was naturally abandoned."

Liu Yang paused before continuing, "Finally, there's our Blueprint Group, which has occupied this place for nearly twenty years."

"Similarly, the resistance here hasn't stopped, but our conditions are a bit better."

"The group discovered rare minerals here that can be used to make nanometals. The profits here ensure the consumption of our garrison in the Yadun region."

Li Xin couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this. This Yadun area really has a bit of an unfortunate fate.

The three powerful extreme forces on Guansuo Four have successively ruled here.

Liu Yang continued, "The Yadun region is both important and not so important. It's also surrounded by several vassals of the Locke Kingdom, including the Gaswu Submersible Order, Dewan Technology, and Nordong Castle."

"Whether it was Rhodes Power or the Locke Kingdom, although they withdrew from the Yadun area, they both left a backup plan in the end."

"After learning that Lantu had discovered rare minerals in Yadun, several surrounding forces also wanted to get involved."

"It's not just the rebels supported by these forces in the Yadun area. There are also real rebels, including those from Yadun itself, as well as the rebels who are fighting against these forces. They all regard Yadun as their base."

"This is a highland area with a harsh natural environment and many mountainous areas. Even we cannot actually control these areas."

"Many resistance forces, large and small, are hiding in these mountains."

"Today, despite a complex electromagnetic environment, we were able to locate a rebel stronghold. However, due to the movement speed in the mountains, the enemy had already fled before our troops could reach their combat position."

"In the mountains, there's no way to find the enemy's escape route. If we go any deeper, our logistics lines will be attacked."

"We wanted to sweep across the mountain and wipe out all the rebels. This has been done before, and it was successful."

"The Todut War Zone directly supported the army and, regardless of losses, completely wiped out the rebels in the mountainous area."

"But even with a large army, there will be some rebels hiding underground that we don't know of."

"Even though we have established several bases along key roads to block this mountainous area."

"But after the army left, resistance forces from all over the place poured in again. Even our bases were eventually closed down because of the constant harassment and attacks on our logistics routes."

"In such a special environment, it is already quite difficult for our existing bases to ensure the safety of most important settlements."

At this point, Liu Yang's face was full of bitterness, and he continued: "Don't talk about other things, just come to the settlements under our control, many of them are half civilians, half bandits."

"Some of them are ordinary residents, but sometimes they sneak in with weapons and go to other nearby forces to do some small business, rob settlements, resource areas, etc."

"Director, tell me, under such circumstances, how can we in the Yadun region completely eliminate these rebels?"

"The residents here don't have high incomes, and many rely on the rebels to support their families. Some residents' coming-of-age ceremony is to be given a gun and follow the rebels to plunder other nearby forces."

"Of course, it's not just about looting other forces. The settlements under our control are sometimes attacked as well, but the number is smaller."

"We are all from the Yadun region. The number of cases against our own settlements is relatively small. Most of them are internal conflicts and fights caused by other reasons."

After hearing Liu Yang's words, Li Xin and Weng Hua looked at each other in surprise.

Li Xin rubbed his eyebrows. After hearing the inside story, he felt extremely tired.

I originally thought that becoming the defense chief of the Yadun area and fighting security battles was a good job.

After learning more about it, I realized that this was not an easy job at all. It was clearly a hard job that was both mentally and physically tiring.

In addition, the people here are poor, there are no factories or assets, and there is no such thing as Dan'an in Luquan where there is a lot of money to be made.

Li Xin sighed and said, "After listening to what you said, I finally understand why Xiang Qi was secretly reselling arms."

"This is all due to the special environment!"
