On the other side, Zhou Ze in Phongsali City watched the merchant ships sailing on the river and then spoke to the soldiers behind him.

"Everyone, perk up! The commander is here with his men!"

The soldiers behind Zhou Ze, who were already standing ramrod straight, became even more upright after hearing his words!

As the merchant ship docked, Ge Hui, a lieutenant colonel, led his men off the ship!

Upon seeing Ge Hui, Zhou Ze immediately strode forward, saluted, and said...

"Commander, the Third Company has successfully completed its mission!"

Ge Hui, the commander of the Third Regiment, patted Zhou Ze on the shoulder with a smile and said...

"Company Commander Zhou, you did a great job on this mission!"

"I've already brought the commendation that Commander Fang gave you,"

After Ge Hui finished speaking, his gaze swept over the soldiers standing ramrod straight at attention, and the satisfied expression on his face deepened.

After loudly saying "Very good" a few times, he picked up the commendation certificate in his hand and said loudly,

"In view of the outstanding performance of the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment in completing its combat mission, the headquarters has decided to award the 3rd Company a collective second-class merit."

As soon as Ge Hui finished speaking, the soldiers standing at attention immediately shouted in unison,

"Hard work and perseverance, fearless of sacrifice!"

“…”

After shouting the slogans three times, Ge Hui waved for them to be quiet, then turned to Zhou Ze and said,

"In addition to this collective second-class merit, the headquarters has given you an extra reward!"

"You've been promoted one rank, from company commander to battalion commander, and your military rank has risen from captain to major!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ze accepted the certificate with an excited expression and said to Ge Hui,

"Thank you for your guidance, Commander!"

Ge Hui smiled, patted Zhou Ze on the shoulder, told him not to be too proud, and then waved to the troops on the ship.

Then, the troops on the ship disembarked in a grand procession, carrying their weapons.

"Battalion Commander Zhou, take me to your command post and tell me about the situation in Fengshali!"

"Yes, Commander."

Zhou Ze led the way, while Ge Hui spoke to Tian Yangsheng, who was wearing sunglasses, beside him.

"Brother Tian Yangsheng, this way please!"

Wang Jianjun returned to Hong Kong Island with the money from the Eight-Faced Buddha. The Golden Triangle definitely couldn't be without someone directly under Mo Ran's command.

So, after informing Wang Jianjun to leave the Golden Triangle with the money, Mo Ran sent Tian Yangsheng and his five brothers to the Golden Triangle!

"Commander Ge, please!"

Led by Zhou Ze, the group arrived at the former command post of the Eight-Faced Buddha. After serving Ge Hui and Tian Yangsheng each a cup of tea, Zhou Ze pointed to the map on the wall in front of them and said,

"Commander, it's Mr. Tian Yangsheng,"

"Although our army has occupied the city of Phongsaly, due to limited manpower, we have not been able to clear out the remaining militants in the surrounding area,"

At this point, Zhou Ze pointed to the helicopter airport next to Phongsari City and continued,

"This helicopter airport is located 50 kilometers east of Phongsari city center and was once an airport built by the Eight-Faced Buddha,"

"My suggestion is to capture this place first to provide a base for the helicopter reinforcements that will arrive later,"

"As for the remaining troops in the surrounding mountains and forests, my suggestion is to send out small reconnaissance units to inflict heavy damage on them, and then try to persuade them to surrender!"

After hearing Zhou Ze's suggestion, Ge Hui nodded in agreement and then asked Tian Yangsheng, who was standing to the side,

"Mr. Tianyang, what do you mean?"

Faced with Ge Hui's questioning, Tian Yangsheng fully demonstrated his concise and economical way of speaking.

"My older brother said he doesn't care about how the fighting goes; he just wants the territory to be secure!"

Upon hearing Tian Yangsheng's words, the slight worry that Ge Hui had felt earlier vanished!

Commander Fang had instructed him before he arrived to avoid conflict with the people Mo Ran had sent.

As for why, how could Ge Hui not know?

The man in front of me, Mo Ran, played a crucial role in reclaiming Hong Kong Island, Macau, and Taiwan!

"Commander Zhou, are there any unusual movements from the residents of Phongsali City?"

In response to this question, Zhou Ze smiled and said,

"Commander, Mr. Tian Yangsheng,"

"The people here have long been oppressed, so they have no complaints about us driving out the Eight-Faced Buddha from his rule,"

Upon hearing this, Ge Hui did not show any surprise on his face.

Because when he arrived in Fumsali, the city of Kolay had already begun its governance efforts!

"Mr. Tian Yangsheng, is it the same as in Kolai City, where everything in the fields is immediately eradicated?"

When faced with this question, Tian Yangsheng nodded calmly and said...

"Can,"

"But my older brother also said something,"

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!"

Upon hearing Tian Yangsheng's calm remark, Ge Hui's smile vanished, and he said...

"Does Mr. Mo mean to adopt a high-pressure policy?"

"right!"

Faced with Tian Yangsheng's straightforward answer, Ge Hui immediately raised a question.

"Has Mr. Mo considered the possibility that adopting a repressive policy might provoke public resistance?"

"If such resistance occurs, it will be a great loss for Mr. Mo..."

Upon hearing this concern, Tian Yangsheng's icy gaze fell upon Ge Hui, and a cold smile appeared on his face as he spoke.

"That's easy,"

"If a village rebels, destroy that village; if a town rebels, destroy that town!"

Upon hearing the ruthlessness of the person before him, Ge Hui inwardly gasped, but a different expression also appeared on his face as he spoke.

"Mr. Tian Yangsheng, is this your intention or Mr. Mo's intention?"
