Qin Che pointed to the soldiers standing on either side of Yun Kui, protecting him, and the weapons in their hands, and said, "You know, these things can't kill me."
A group of high-ranking government officials around Yun Kui looked at him with concern.
Now it all depends on the leader's decision; whether he lives or dies depends on whether he nods in approval.
boom!
Not far from the outskirts, soldiers from the old city had already stormed in. The gunfire grew louder and more intense, and countless civilians scattered and fled. Fortunately, the self-defense forces were well-trained and not scattered rabble. After entering the first and second districts, they did not start a massacre but simply used force to take control of the nearby residents and prevent them from making any rash moves.
A few disgruntled individuals hid nearby and fired sniper shots, but they were all killed on the spot by the Self-Defense Forces and riddled with bullets.
Several cars drove into District 1, followed the empty streets, and arrived at the foot of the government building, where they met Qin Che, who was negotiating with Yun Kui.
"master!"
Song Zhiming immediately got out of the car and led his soldiers to rush up, surrounding all the guards at the entrance of the building, including high-ranking officials and other members of the government, including Yun Kui.
"Put down your weapons! Surrender immediately!"
"Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Song Zhizhi raised his fist; the moment it fell, it would be a bloodbath!
Chunniang, Song Gong, and the others also caught up and stood beside Qin Che.
Finally, Yun Kui sighed, gestured for the guards to lower their guns, and said, "Since I have decided to surrender, I hope you will be lenient and spare us. Boiler City will do its best to cooperate with you in developing the industrial chain in the southwest region, and will acknowledge the leadership of the Old City and its loyalty to you. In addition, we agree to the '21 Mutual Assistance Treaty'!"
Some people looked at Yun Kui in shock.
Some people fell silent, feeling very dissatisfied but not daring to say anything.
The so-called "Treaty of Mutual Assistance" was actually somewhat humiliating and detrimental.
Firstly, Sandcastle, Old Town, and West Fort have the right to station large numbers of troops in Boiler City.
Secondly, caravans from Sandcastle, Old Town, and West Fort are exempt from paying taxes to Boiler City and have the right to enjoy Boiler City's commercial benefits unconditionally.
Third, the coal from the boiler city can only be exported to the three cities of Sandburg, Old Town, and Westburg at a fixed minimum profit price.
Fourth, Boiler City shall not establish any violent institutions or armies by any means or in any form, and shall completely disarm. The government will cooperate in issuing the "Peace Pavilion Government Countermeasures," which will only establish a certain size of security team and law enforcement agency, which will be taken over by the garrison.
Fifth, confiscate the weapons and resources depot of Boiler City, re-examine the illegal and criminal activities of commercial groups such as Coal Industry Crocodile, collect evidence, and take over the mining rights of the mines surrounding Boiler City.
Sixth, the government of Boiler City will conduct large-scale layoffs, destroy all party names, organizations, flags, and books, and prohibit the formation of any form of association, gang, or society.
Seventh...
...
There are 21 articles in total, clearly written on the 'Mutual Assistance Treaty'.
Boiler City's sovereignty has been stripped away, and it will completely fall into Qin Che's hands.
Under the supervision of the old city troops, Yun Kui signed a treaty with Qin Che and Song Zhiming.
Qin Che did not kill them all. He needed many experienced officials and government agencies to function. If he killed them all, who would govern the city?
The two sides shook hands and made peace, amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.
“From today onwards, you will remain the leader of Boiler City, but you will only be able to govern your city based on the 21 Mutual Assistance Treaties. I will extend your political career, abolish the election system, and guarantee that you can remain in this position indefinitely,” Qin Che said with a smile.
Yun Kui sighed, gave a bitter smile, and could only resign himself to his fate: "I will follow Master Qin's orders."
"I'm just worried about what the higher-ups at Wall One will think when you're cleaning up the southwest region."
Faced with this question, Qin Che smiled and said, "That's not something you should be concerned about."
Chunniang, who was standing nearby, said, "Commander, there are still more than a dozen cities in the southwest region. Do we need to conquer them one by one?"
Before Qin Che could speak, Yun Kui shook his head: "Master Qin only needs to conquer Zibao. Based on strength and status, all the cities in the southwest region will take the initiative to offer up maps and come to submit in person. At that time, all you need to do is send a diplomatic team to accomplish this. In fact, I am willing to help."
Qin Che glanced at Yun Kui, surprised that this guy's mentality changed so quickly. Just a moment ago he was a pitiful victim of invasion, and now he has become his lackey.
I'm not afraid of Yun Kui's betrayal.
With the collapse of the boiler city, policies such as troop reductions and layoffs were implemented one after another, leaving him with no leverage to betray the government.
As for Purple Castle
Qin Che still believed in the abilities of Wu Ming, Zhou Sen, and others.
I won't let him down.
Moreover, if the leader of the Purple Castle were to hear that Boiler City had been destroyed, he would have to seriously consider the threat posed by the Extraordinary.
...
It will take some time to regulate the boiler factory.
Qin Che needs to stay here for a few days, but judging by the time, it's time for his eighth simulation. I wonder what he'll gain from this one...
Chunniang and Song Gong stood with their hands behind their backs in front of Qin Che, awaiting his next order.
"You should discuss the diplomatic team matters with Yun Kui and Song Zhiming. He will stay here to complete the garrison work. Don't rush to come with me."
"yes!"
Chunniang and Song Gong obeyed their orders.
"Commander, I'm afraid those cities will unite against us. If the battle lines and the duration are prolonged, our morale will suffer an irreversible blow."
Qin Che gave her an appreciative look. "Hmm, you're very perceptive."
Chunniang smiled slightly, suppressing her joy.
