Commander Xu didn't care what Cai Bang thought, and he hung up the phone immediately!
Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, looking at the dial tone on his phone, he was stunned for a long time before finally letting out a loud curse!
"Grass!"
"This is outrageous!!"
As soon as the cursing stopped, someone rushed in from inside and asked,
"General, the front lines are asking when to make our move!"
Upon hearing this, Cai Bang seemed to have found a punching bag, grabbed the ashtray on the table, and smashed it over.
Bang!
The person who came in didn't dare to dodge; his head was smashed solidly by the ashtray, becoming a bloody mess.
"Are you fucking an idiot?!"
"They're doing live-fire military exercises up north right now, and you're asking when they're going to make a move?!"
";how!";
"You think I'm dying too slowly? You want to speed things up for me!"
The subordinate, who had been scolded, dared not show the slightest displeasure. He wiped the blood from his forehead and spoke up.
"I'm sorry, General!"
"I'll go and tell them to withdraw right away!"
"roll!"
After venting his anger, Cai Bang felt a little better. After a moment of silence...
Cai Bang picked up the phone again and made another call.
"Seize all assets related to the Mu family!"
The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment upon hearing this, and then said...
"General, without the Mu family's financial support... our tax revenue will be reduced by a third!"
Upon hearing this, Cai Bang's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.
"Do you think I don't know?!"
"Grass!"
"The north wants Mu Ling Shuang dead, what can I do about it!"
The person on the other end of the phone was quite arrogant and ready to explode, so he didn't dare say anything more and simply nodded.
"Yes, General!"
A similar scene was playing out in the offices of generals in both Taiping and Laos...
However, what happened at these three locations did not reach Mu Ling Shuang immediately.
Mu Ling Shuang is currently waiting for news in the study.
Knock knock knock...
Upon hearing the knock on the door, Mu Ling Shuang immediately spoke.
"Come in!"
The butler pushed open the door and entered, a slight smile on his face, and said...
"Sir, good news!"
"The armies of Tai, Mian, and Lao have been fully assembled!"
"Sensing something is wrong, the Eight-Faced Buddha has already sought help from Gao Ren!"
This news was arguably the first piece of good news Mu Ling Shuang had heard in a long time.
After her gloom dissipated, Mu Ling Shuang said "good" three times in a row before continuing,
"The 10,000 men that Gao Ren used to reinforce the Eight-Faced Buddha are stuck there!"
Upon hearing this question, the butler's smile widened even more.
"These 10,000 people are still stuck at the Pattaya pier!"
Upon hearing this answer, Mu Ling Shuang showed a hint of surprise on her face.
"how so?"
"Does that mayor really have that much power?"
Upon hearing this, the butler smiled and replied,
"Sir, this time it wasn't the mayor who intervened!"
"It was an order directly issued by the Emperor Emeritus!"
"Chiang Rai is, after all, the territory of the King Father, and Ko In has so blatantly seized it for himself,"
"Even with the support from the north, the Emperor cannot say anything openly..."
"But he won't just watch Gao Ren take Chiang Rai so easily!"
Upon hearing this answer, Mu Ling Shuang felt as if she had taken a big gulp of herbal tea in the September heat, experiencing a refreshing sensation from the inside out!
"OK!"
"Very good!"
"Gao Ren was so arrogant before because the Emperor didn't intervene!"
"Now that the Emperor has intervened, let's see how arrogant Gao Ren can still be!"
"Pass the message down,"
"Any family in the entire Southeast Peninsula that dares to move its businesses to Chiang Rai is going against the Mu family!"
Seeing that Mu Ling Shuang had regained her usual wisdom, the butler immediately nodded in agreement.
But just as he was about to leave,
Suddenly, the door was pushed open roughly, and before the housekeeper could get angry, the person who entered shouted,
"Master, something terrible has happened!"
"The combined forces of the Tai, Mian, and Lao have retreated!!!"
Mu Ling Shuang froze for a few seconds, until the smile on her face completely disappeared and was replaced by a ferocious expression as she roared.
"What did you say!!!!"
"How could the combined forces of the Tai, Mian, and Lao possibly retreat!"
"Didn't the King himself order that they be kept in Pattaya?"
Seeing Mu Ling Shuang's furious outburst, the man shrank back and said,
"Sir, according to the information we have received..."
"The reason the King personally ordered those 10,000 men to remain in Pattaya was solely for the purpose of negotiating with the north!"
"Because there's something going on throughout the Golden Triangle right now!"
"Gao Ren has become the Major General Commander of the Third Army in the Southern Theater Command of the North!"
"The northern garrison allocated 50,000 men to the Third Army at full strength..."
"The King temporarily detained 10,000 people in Pattaya... merely for the purpose of negotiating with the north!"
"Make sure the remaining 20,000 troops aren't sent to the Golden Triangle anymore..."
Bang!!!!!
After hearing this explanation, Mu Ling Shuang slammed her hand on the table with a deafening roar!
"These short-sighted fools, don't they know that human desires are limitless!"
"Once Gao Ren has established himself in Chiang Rai, he can stop expanding outwards!"
"But that old bastard, Eight-Faced Buddha, has already sent his daughter to Gao Ren's bed,"
"Gao Ren is constrained by the north and will not expand outwards, but surely the Eight-Faced Buddha will expand outwards too!"
"What's the difference between the territory being seized by the Eight-Faced Buddha and it falling into Gao Ren's hands?!"
