Chapter 299 The World for All
Elder Cheng Zhang promised to fully support this operation, giving him 1 billion in funding alone. If he could severely damage Changshan County, he would give him another 1 billion, and if he could kill the mayor of Changshan County, he would give him another 2 billion.
The funding was received on the spot, and Gu Xuanli immediately allocated one million to Wang Jing.
"Beat me hard!"
Wang Jing nodded timidly and didn't dare to speak.
Afterwards, a number of elders, governors, and high-ranking imperial officials contacted him one after another, and either openly or implicitly declared their support for his actions, providing more or less support.
Even if some of them were just verbal support, Gu Xuanli was ecstatic.
He is very versatile and good at networking, and even after so many years of selling things in the empire, he still doesn't get as much support as he does today.
For a moment he seemed to have come to the center of the imperial stage, with all the lights focused on him.
He is the protagonist, and Changshan County is the supporting character in this play who is about to be beaten by him and the source of joy for the audience.
"Hahaha, thank you so much, boy from Changshan County."
Not long after, a green phone on the table called.
Gu Xuanli immediately rushed over and answered the phone.
This is the Qin Group’s dedicated line, and it is another major backing that Gu Xuanli has worked hard to build.
As soon as I answered the phone, the voice of Qin Gang, the head of the Qin Group, came from the inside.
"Greetings, Governor Gu."
Gu Xuanli suppressed his heart, which was about to explode, and said repeatedly: "Commander Qin, long time no see, I hope you are well."
Qin Gang's voice was still cold and hard.
"Tofu, everything is fine. I heard you were going to war with Changshan County."
"Yes, Commander Qin."
"Are you sure?"
"have."
"Does the Chuanluo rebel put pressure on you?"
"No, it will definitely not interfere with my campaign against Changshan County."
"Very good, I hope you can prove your ability."
Gu Xuanli's voice was filled with uncontrollable joy: "Definitely."
"I should have been assisting you, but my battle with the Council hasn't concluded yet, so I can't be away for the time being."
"Please rest assured."
"I can provide you with a batch of military supplies, but the Grand Marshal's management has been very strict recently, so I can't deliver it directly. After midnight tonight, you can purchase it from the overseas Black Martin Company at one-tenth the price. Do you understand?"
Gu Xuanli smiled and said, "Of course I understand." He was very familiar with this kind of reselling, stealing and smuggling.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xuanli was ecstatic.
The two major groups in the empire, the Cheng Group and the Qin Group, both expressed strong support for him, and all the dignitaries in the court praised him highly.
"Hahaha, who else can get such treatment?"
"I am truly a rare talent. The high-ranking officials of the Empire have seen my potential and are taking this opportunity to strongly support me."
"Commander Qin's military aid will help me build a completely modernized ace army. I want planes and tanks, too."
"Hahaha."
——
Wang Jing came out of the Governor's office in a very gloomy mood.
He has been pushed to the brink.
"That won't work."
Wang Jing thought.
"The only solution now is to quickly achieve victory over Changshan County, reap sufficient benefits from Changshan County, and end this tacitly approved secret war."
Wang Jing knew very well that this silent war would not appear in any newspaper.
But all the high-ranking officials in the empire knew about it.
This is equivalent to opening a betting market. The banker is the empire, the two parties in the bet are Changshan County and Shizhou, and all major forces are gamblers placing bets.
Once you make the purchase, it’s up to them to decide who will win.
But the gamble cannot be overturned. The empire will never allow the war to expand and affect the stability of the region.
"We must win a glorious victory."
——
At this time, the combat order from the Shizhou Governor's Office had been issued, and mobilization of all parties began.
The command room was extremely busy with frequent combat telegrams and people shuttling back and forth.
At this moment, an officer in military uniform walked into the radio room. The operator inside immediately asked, "Who are you? How did you get in? Where are the guards?"
The officer smiled and said, "I'm a distant relative of Governor Gu. I heard your transmitter is the latest Tick-Eick model, which has excellent confidentiality. I'd like to learn how to operate it."
He took out his officer's certificate and handed it over. The radio operator unfolded it and saw three pieces of gold foil inside, which sparkled charmingly under the light. They weighed at least one hundred grams.
Gold is very expensive now. The price has exceeded 600 yuan, and one hundred grams of gold is 60,000 yuan.
For ordinary military officers, this is a huge sum of money.
He calmly put the gold foil into his sleeve and returned the officer's certificate.
"Just sit there, don't make any noise, and don't peek at the contents of the telegram."
The officer smiled and said, "I know the rules, please rest assured, sir."
——
That night.
Qin Luoshuang received all the information that Shizhou was preparing to launch an attack on Changshan County.
The general leading the troops was Wang Jing, the former commander of the Second Imperial Army Corps who had been defeated miserably by Lin Wen.
"Miss."
Her loyal old housekeeper Wang Ya said:
"This is a golden opportunity. My people have already joined the army. As the chief of staff, you can let Fang Dashan lead the charge and deplete his direct forces, allowing our people to take advantage and gain merit. This way, we can gradually control the Changshan County army."
Qin Luoshuang was extremely annoyed.
But this person is very capable. The intelligence this time was obtained by his people, and he is also responsible for training new recruits. The KGB cannot operate without him for the time being.
"Grandpa Wang, I'll say this one last time. I'm on Changshan County's side now. Whatever you do, don't harm Changshan County's interests."
Wang Ya smiled, his face wrinkled, revealing his rotten teeth, and bowed:
"My lady is kind and righteous. You are kind and compassionate. Please leave these tedious tasks to the old servant."
"One day, the master will understand that it was his fault, not the young lady's."
His bent figure gradually sank into the shadows and soon disappeared from Qin Luoshuang's sight.
Qin Luoshuang sighed and called Chang Jie and Xu Anqi, her fourth and fifth deputies.
"Miss."
"Go keep an eye on Wang Ya and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble. Also, make sure he doesn't smuggle any contraband into the training of the new recruits."
After dealing with the internal affairs of the Security Department, Qin Luoshuang began to think about the current situation.
Changshan County is very weak compared to Shizhou. Shizhou will definitely receive a lot of assistance, but Changshan County has been ignored so far.
Obviously, no one among the major forces in the empire is optimistic about Changshan County.
Even though it had just defeated Shizhou and wiped out one of its legions.
But the two sides are completely different in size. There is no comparison between a county and a state. A state can lose countless times, but a county can only lose once.
Qin Luoshuang wrote down all the forces related to them in the empire on a piece of paper, repeatedly thought about and calculated their possible reactions and actions, and wrote these speculations on another draft paper.
After throwing away the 100th sheet of manuscript paper, Qin Luoshuang moved his gaze back to the top of the paper.
Imperial Emperor.
The royal faction behind him in the future.
The Imperial Faction is a very complex faction, including the Senate, people who support the emperor, the Princess Faction, the Dongzhou Faction, the Royal Guards, and the Royal Guards in colonial uniforms.
Li Linyue gave up fighting for the throne and supported another crown prince. It was a very smart move. It bridged the rift within the imperial faction and made it more powerful.
A female emperor can only own luxury goods when the empire is strong. The current state of the empire is not suitable for a female emperor.
Everyone knows the truth.
But Li Linyue was only one step away from the throne, and it took great courage for him to dare to retreat at this critical moment.
She disbanded the Princess Faction on the surface, but in reality, its strength became even stronger.
"This idiot!"
Qin Luoshuang couldn't help but complain.
If Lin Wen hadn't intervened, they would never have fallen out with the Princess Faction.
It would be great if we had support from the princess faction now.
Li Linyue even gave him the Yuntai token, which implied that he could go to Yuntai to choose a wife and have a chance to win the princess's favor and become her husband.
Although the chance is slim, basically zero.
But this is obviously an attempt to win him over. As long as it is handled well, it will definitely be a great help.
As a result, the idiot sent a telegram to ask the princess for money.
This bizarre operation has exceeded the limits of human beings.
When the person on the other end picked up the phone enthusiastically and heard why he called, even Qin Luoshuang couldn't stand the awkward silence.
Later, when Qin Luoshuang wanted to mend the relationship, she found that the other party had blocked Changshan County's number.
Although Li Linyue is arrogant and paranoid, and Qin Luoshuang had an unpleasant time with her during their brief relationship, with Li Linyue's skills, natural beauty, and noble status as the first princess, the power of the princess faction is very strong.
If we could stabilize this ally, we wouldn't be isolated and helpless today.
"Oh, forget it. That idiot has always been like this. He was like this when he saved me that time. Originally, originally, ah..."
Qin Luoshuang shifted her gaze downwards.
The Dongzhou faction did not contact them. She vaguely realized that Sheng Huaixuan might be up to something big, and she did not want to implicate Changshan County, so she deliberately distanced herself from them.
They can't touch the Royal Guards, which are the core strength of the imperial faction, and forget about the Royal Guards.
"Then there's only the Emperor himself left."
Qin Luoshuang remembered what Lin Wen had told her before: The Imperial Emperor Li Longxing gave him a note when he boarded the plane, and he burned the note after reading it.
The note contained the emperor's advice on how to deal with this difficult situation:
Contact the Seokjukawa rebels.
Purchase items from Tongchen Group that are not available in Changshan County.
“That’s the key.”
Qin Luoshuang thought.
The latter sentence is obviously related to the Supreme Council's task of making artillery shells.
The previous sentence is related to the Battle of Shizhou.
But how to contact the Chuanluo resistance army?
While Qin Luoshuang was thinking about this question, he got up and went to the Changshan County Headquarters.
