"Then... what about the Dong Party?"
Fu Xian scoffed: "The Eastern Party? It's just that there are a lot of people. In their eyes, it's not a valuable bargaining chip. The tycoons don't even have real military power."
Zhao Lisu said, "To be honest, with his connections, the royal court alone has a large group of people who won't give him any face. Once Deng Xian dies, Prince Shu will definitely not be on good terms with him, and he can't command the royal court's military forces."
Fu Xian didn't speak, but took a sip of tea with a half-smile.
Zhao Lisu and Han Xueshi exchanged a glance, then both glanced at Fu Xian, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
He was once the chief minister of the royal court, and like the armored troops, he was a staunch royalist.
However, due to the struggle for the throne, Prince Shu and Prince Yue have infiltrated the army, causing the royal court to split completely, and the internal conflicts within the army have not been resolved to this day.
Imagine, if even the powerful prime minister is not given face, Qin Che, an outsider, even if he is extraordinary, would not be able to command the armored army.
Fu Xian laughed and said, "Guess what he'll do next?"
Zhao Lisu said, "Now that he has taken control of the old city and wiped out the Scorpion Gang, he should first satisfy the demands of Purple Castle and Boiler City, and then apply to us to take over the No. 3 Salt Lake District to completely integrate the Southwest Desert."
Han Xueshi nodded: "Zibao Military Industry may not be able to open up the market, but with his guarantee, it can cooperate with the Eastern Desert to export military products. The Ziguang-18, in terms of materials, combat performance, production capacity, and comprehensive index, has far surpassed ordinary firearms in the desert, and even rivals the Sand Crocodile-10. I believe that with Sand Fort's support, Ziguang's exports will be more acceptable to more people, thus gaining Zibao's support."
"As for the boiler city..."
"Their coal is exactly what Sandcastle needs most for steelmaking and oil refining. By increasing production capacity, expanding the coverage of steel and oil refining plants in the eastern desert, and directly monopolizing the coal supply of Boiler City, we can swallow them whole. Qin Che is not without the appetite for this, and he also has the strength to do so. He can also work with Old City to cut off Boiler City's food supply, starve them, and if they are unwilling, force them to comply. This will make them easy to capture."
Fu Xian raised his teacup and said no more. He said, “The Forest Group’s infiltration work needs to be accelerated. We need to hand over the area of Salt Lake No. 3 to him before he finishes his work. It’s best not to leave it in the hands of the city council, as that will only lead to endless internal friction and struggle. I have a feeling that our enemies may make their move ahead of time. Tomorrow, you should call over the heads of the Trauma Action Group, law enforcement agencies, and police departments for a meeting.”
"Mr. Fu, what are your plans?"
Fu Xian said, "Now, we will fully support Qin Che's work. Doesn't he want military power? I will do my best to help him."
