"Bang!" Lin Lele slammed her hand on the conference table in front of her and shouted angrily, "What? This Li Xiubai, does he have no shame? We've given him the entire supply warehouse of 'Tianyu Base,' and he's still not satisfied!"
"President Chen, we absolutely cannot agree to this! To redraw the boundaries of the 'Tianyu Base' industry and have a nationwide vote? What is he joking about? His followers are far ahead of us now, what's the point of this vote?" Wei Hongbo said angrily.
“Yes, that’s not how it’s done! Since the terms for the division of the family have already been agreed upon, we should abide by the agreement. How can we just change it like that? Let’s ignore what Li Xiubo says.” Qi Xiaowei, who was sitting in a wheelchair and whose face was still a little pale, said.
This former director of the Anping District Police Station, after waking up from serious injuries, did not choose to follow Li Xiubai, his former superior, but instead chose to stand on Chen Yu's side.
“We need to consider this matter carefully. After all, they are powerful now, and if we use this as an excuse to cause trouble, it could lead to considerable turmoil,” Feng Xinran said after a moment of contemplation.
"We have a militia in our hands, why are we afraid of them? We'll just kill anyone who dares to cause trouble," Lin Lele said coldly.
"Things aren't that simple." Chen Yu shook his head with a bitter expression.
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and all turned their gazes to Chen Yu, waiting for his further explanation.
"Vice Minister Li, Deputy Head of Regiment Lei, tell me what you know," Chen Yu said, looking at Li Zheng and Lei Tao.
“My subordinates failed to discipline their subordinates properly, which led to Zaxi Dawa of the Armed Forces Department leading the defection and taking away nearly a third of my Armed Forces Department members. I beg the general to punish me!” Li Zheng knelt on one knee with a solemn expression, pleading guilty to Chen Yu.
His voice, though low, revealed deep self-blame and helplessness.
"What? Vice Minister Li, such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell me?" Qi Xiaowei asked, his voice tinged with reproach as he spoke in shock.
“Zaxi Dawa? Didn’t he start working for President Chen a long time ago? How could this be…?” Wei Hongbo asked in surprise.
Lin Lele angrily said, "Fine! I've known all along that this traitor is not of our kind..."
"Shut up!" Chen Yu shouted in a deep voice. "Don't say anything that's detrimental to unity!"
"The deed is done, and we should try our best to salvage it, rather than assigning blame here!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Then, as if they had thought of something, they all looked at Lei Tao, the deputy commander of the "militia regiment," with surprise and doubt.
Seeing this, Lei Tao said with a solemn expression, "You are all right to worry, the 'militia' has also run into trouble."
"Who is it? I'll kill him!" Upon hearing this, Lin Lele's eyes instantly blazed with fury, her hands clenched into fists, as if she were about to rush out and bring the traitor to justice.
“Qi Heng,” Lei Tao uttered the name heavily. “This Qi Heng was originally the head of the armed forces department at the Academy of Science and Technology. Although he was expelled from the Academy for some reasons, he joined our ‘Militia Regiment’ early on and was given a nominal but powerless position by the general. After the Academy of Science and Technology was transferred to our base, its armed forces department was naturally incorporated into our ‘Militia Regiment.’ Qi Heng took this opportunity to win over a large number of his former subordinates. At this critical moment, he led most of the original members of the Academy of Science and Technology’s armed forces department to defect, and with others following suit, our ‘Militia Regiment’ suffered heavy losses. Now, less than 70% remain.”
The crowd erupted in uproar upon hearing this.
Nearly one-fifth of the members of the 'Tianyu Base' armed forces and 'military regiment' had already defected to Li Xiubai's side. Now, with so many more defecting, it seems that the armed forces of both sides are now roughly evenly matched.
Furthermore, given Li Xiubai's numerical advantage, if they were to confront him head-on, they would likely gain no advantage whatsoever, and a slight misstep could lead to utter ruin!
Upon learning of their current predicament, everyone present frowned and looked worried, and even Lin Lele stopped shouting.
"We are in an unprecedented predicament." Chen Yu's voice was low as he looked around at everyone in the conference room, whose faces were filled with worry and resentment.
"But it's too late to run away now. What's meant to happen will happen. Let nature take its course!" Chen Yu sighed heavily.
"But rest assured, everyone. Since I, Chen Yu, was able to build the 'Tianyu Base' into its current state from scratch, I have the ability and determination to lead you out of the current predicament and revitalize the 'Tianyu Base's' glory." Chen Yu's eyes gleamed with unyielding determination, and his words revealed an undeniable power.
"Alright, let's keep this a secret for now. That's all, meeting adjourned." Chen Yu said, dismissing everyone.
The senior and middle-level leaders of the "Tianyu Base" who came to attend the meeting, as well as the heads of various research departments, all left one after another with complicated feelings, and everyone's steps seemed particularly heavy.
However, the truth eventually came out, and the next day, every word of the meeting's content spread throughout every corner of the "Tianyu Base".
After learning that Chen Yu had shown weakness, Li Xiubai and his gang became even more arrogant.
They didn't even consult Chen Yu's side anymore, and directly started arranging the voting and division of the industry.
Inside a luxurious office, Li Xiubo and Niu Ke were plotting their next move.
A smug smile played on Li Xiubai's lips as he tapped his fingers lightly on the table, exuding confidence.
"Newsk, you've got some tricks up your sleeve."
"You flatter me, Alliance Leader. I was just giving you an idea," Niu Si said humbly.
“Hey, Vice Alliance Leader Niu, there’s no need to be modest. If you hadn’t brought in two high-ranking officials from Chen Yu’s side, Chen Yu wouldn’t have been able to compromise.” Li Xiubo waved his hand and said, “Speaking of which, your Merica’s system of universal referendum isn’t entirely useless. This time, we’re relying entirely on this ‘universal referendum’.”
"By the way, I haven't asked Vice Alliance Leader Niu yet, how did you persuade Zaxi Dawa and Qi Heng to abandon their evil ways and join the righteous cause?" Li Xiubai asked casually.
He seemed nonchalant, but in reality, he wanted to test Noske.
After all, Chen Yu hadn't even managed to win over his top officials, so how could a foreigner like Niu Kesi possibly persuade them?
He seemed to have let his guard down, but in reality he never did. What if all of this was Chen Yu's conspiracy? Wouldn't he have become the monkey being played?
Niu Ke had clearly anticipated Li Xiubo's question. He didn't panic; instead, a mysterious smile appeared on his lips as he slowly said, "Alliance Leader, you may not know this, but back in Anfei, I had already reached a cooperation agreement with Qi Heng. The matter is like this..."
