"Rest assured, for the sake of the country and for the millions of survivors in Nandu, I will help you eliminate Yang Tiejun and his daughter, and restore a bright and clear sky to Nandu!" Chen Yu said solemnly to Liu Haoyu, his eyes seemingly flashing with an undeniable determination.
Looking at Chen Yu, Liu Haoyu felt the aura of justice emanating from him, and the burden in his heart seemed to lighten a little.
He nodded and laughed, "Haha! Commander Chen, I'm relieved to hear you say that. The people of Nandu need a hero like you."
“However, Yang Tiejun commands armed forces such as the Nandu Police Bureau and possesses a large amount of high-end military equipment, so he is not so easy to deal with,” Liu Haoyu said with a solemn expression.
"Hehe, it's alright, Mayor Liu. I can even handle Yu Gang from Baqing, so how could Yang Tiejun be a problem for me? Tell me, what's the situation with Yang Tiejun's men?" Chen Yu said with a faint smile, appearing confident and as if everything was under control.
However, despite his seemingly calm demeanor, he was actually quite uncertain. After all, Nandu City was the location of the Nandu Military Town, which contained all of the Great Xia's top-notch equipment. Who knew how much they had left behind when they departed? If a single oversight left Yang Tiejun with some high-precision weapons, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, if he wants to get the information he needs from Liu Haoyu, he must first make sure he doesn't lose his composure.
Seeing Chen Yu's confidence, Liu Haoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, whether or not Yang Tiejun could be overthrown and regain power in Nanjing depended entirely on Chen Yu.
Then, he recounted everything he knew to Chen Yu in detail.
According to Liu Haoyu, in the early stages of the extreme cold disaster, Nandu City, like other cities, was at a standstill. Due to the loss of contact with the outside world and the inability to receive orders from superiors, local officials, led by Liu Haoyu, simply gave up in order to avoid taking responsibility.
After all, the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make. If you rush into disaster relief without orders from your superiors and cause a major accident, you will be held responsible.
Under these circumstances, everyone is confined to their homes, hoping that the natural disaster will end soon.
However, Yang Tiejun was an anomaly. Whether it was due to an excessive sense of responsibility or excessive ambition, he secretly organized his police officers to go out and search for supplies the day after the natural disaster. Moreover, without fully understanding what had happened in the military town, he immediately carried out a secret reorganization and assembly of the military weapons and equipment left behind in the town.
These actions initially did not attract much attention, as people's attention was focused on survival amidst the devastation of the extreme cold.
However, as time went on, Yang Tiejun's power gradually grew. He used the resources at his disposal to not only solve the survival problem of his own team, but also gradually control several key areas of Nandu City, and forcibly take over the Nandu Grain Depot, a super grain depot that shoulders the emergency reserves of several cities in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
With men, guns, and food, Yang Tiejun's ambition spread like wildfire, becoming unstoppable.
After resolving the transportation issue, he began to integrate the survivors throughout Nandu City and, under the guise of disaster relief, started to establish resettlement sites in Nandu to centrally manage the survivors.
By the time Liu Haoyu realized what was happening, it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as Yang Tiejun consolidated his power base step by step, gradually turning Nandu City into a kingdom under his personal control.
He, the mayor of Nandu, had become nothing more than Yang Tiejun's puppet.
Despite his seemingly glamorous appearance, sitting in charge of the largest of the 36 resettlement areas, the First Resettlement Area, his power has long been usurped. Even the guards under his office building are sent by Yang Tiejun.
Yang Tiejun may seem indifferent to power and not interfere in the affairs of the resettlement areas, but in reality, all 36 resettlement areas are managed by his confidants.
Take the Third District for example; the district head is actually his daughter Yang Yue, who is still pursuing a master's degree. It's blatant nepotism.
Most importantly, he personally guarded the Nandu Grain Depot and provided regular and rationed supplies to the 36 resettlement areas, effectively controlling everyone's lifeline.
In addition, he commands an armed force of no less than 20,000 men, and at least half of these forces are stationed by him to guard the granaries. In the entire Southern Capital, no one can shake his power in the slightest.
Even his armed forces call themselves the "Iron Family Army," revealing their wolfish ambitions.
It can be said that the entire Nandu City has become his private territory.
Of course, Liu Haoyu's description was mixed with too much personal emotion, and Chen Yu couldn't judge what kind of person Yang Tiejun really was for the time being.
However, according to Liu Haoyu, even though Yang Tiejun is so powerful, he still managed to put Liu Haoyu in charge of the First Resettlement Area, and nominally, District 36 was still under Liu Haoyu's jurisdiction. Compared with Yu Gang, the former police chief of Baqing, this method is much milder.
Moreover, no matter what, Yang Tiejun did open the granary and distribute grain. Aren't the survivors in the 36 resettlement areas of Nandu all surviving on the grain allocated by the Nandu granary?
Considering all of this, Yang Tiejun may not be as bad as Liu Haoyu described.
Furthermore, given Yang Tiejun's 20,000-strong armed force, Chen Yu truly lacked confidence in using force against him.
He only brought a little over 100 people with him this time.
Even if they go back and transfer more people, they probably won't have much more than Yang Tiejun in a short time. In addition, Chen Yu doesn't know whether the other side has the Nandu Military Town's big weapon. Going against them would be unwise.
