Upon hearing this, the chief of staff fell into deep thought, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.
"General, when the Eight-Faced Buddha joined Yonan, besides acquiring an arsenal, he also brought in quite a few good things!"
"Didn't we have intelligence that he, Eight-Faced Buddha, acquired a batch of special-type rockets from South Africa at a high price?"
"Do you think the Eight-Faced Buddha might be using us as a scapegoat to scare others?"
Upon hearing the Chief of Staff's words, Leon's expression also turned thoughtful!
This news was originally relayed by a spy he had planted within the Eight-Faced Buddha's territory, but at that time his territory wasn't connected to the Eight-Faced Buddha's, so he didn't pay much attention to it...
But this moment of carelessness has now put him in a dilemma!
Just as Leon was pondering a solution, the chief of staff opposite him said with a thoughtful expression,
"General, we are now partners with the mainland, why should we fight against the Eight-Faced Buddha's attack alone!"
Upon hearing this, Leon's face immediately showed a curious expression, and he said...
"Oh, what are your thoughts? Tell me!"
"General, we've already paid for this,"
Upon hearing this, Leon's face immediately lit up with a happy expression, and he grinned widely, saying...
"Yes, I spent so much money buying weapons, and I've done so much for them, they should reciprocate..."
After saying that, Leon was about to call Commander Fang, but just as he picked up the phone, he was interrupted by the chief of staff beside him.
"General, please don't panic!"
Faced with the chief of staff's dissuasion, Leon asked with a questioning look on his face.
"What's wrong!"
Seeing the question on Leon's face, the chief of staff then spoke with a sincere expression.
"General, we've only just made contact with them, and you're already pushing them to send troops to help us fight,"
Do you think they will agree to this on the mainland?
Upon hearing this, Leon thought about it briefly and realized it was indeed true. But just as he was about to have a headache, he saw the expression on the chief of staff's face.
It seemed that a solution had already been found, and he immediately spoke up.
"Speak your mind, don't keep things to yourself!"
Faced with Leon's directness, the chief of staff made no attempt to hide his intentions and spoke up directly.
"General, how did we make contact with the mainland...?"
"Mo Ran!"
"That's right, General! Why don't we let Mo Ran speak to the mainland?"
"Given that the mainland can lend so many troops to help Mo Ran conquer territory, as long as Mo Ran dares to guarantee that what we're saying is true,"
"The mainland army will definitely come to our aid immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Leon's eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light.
But he also understood that it was impossible to get Mo Ran to speak without offering him any benefits!
"What price do you think I have to pay for Mo Ran to help us?"
Upon hearing this question, the chief of staff smiled broadly and said...
"General, isn't this simple?"
"Once Mo Ran's goods are produced, won't they need sales channels?"
Upon hearing this, Leon's furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and an excited smile appeared on his face as he said,
"yes!"
Leon slapped his thigh excitedly after speaking, then turned to the servant behind him and said...
"Go and get the cigarettes that Liang Kun brought last time,"
"Yes, General,"
A minute later, the servant came over with several packs of cigarettes. Leon eagerly picked up a pack and examined it.
Looking at this exquisite packaging, it's in no way inferior to the genuine, beautiful domestic products he bought.
"The packaging is very nice, but I wonder how it tastes!"
Upon hearing this, the chief of staff smiled and said,
"General, why don't you try one and see!"
Seeing the Chief of Staff speak so confidently, Leon looked at him meaningfully and said...
"You seem to know a lot about this..."
Upon hearing Leon's words, the chief of staff knew that Leon's suspicions had resurfaced, and immediately spoke up.
"General, this kind of counterfeit cigarette has been circulating on the black market in Southeast Asia for a while now, but not on a very large scale,"
"And these black market dealers are selling it as a genuine product...!"
Upon hearing this, Leon smiled curiously, opened the cigarette in his hand, lit one, and tentatively took a puff.
An expression of disbelief immediately crossed his face. He looked at the burning cigarette in his hand, then took a deep drag, as if to confirm his suspicions…
After carefully tasting the flavor in his mouth, he found that it was exactly the same as the genuine cigarettes he had smoked before.
He then showed a shocked expression and said,
"Is this a counterfeit?"
Seeing Leon's surprise, the chief of staff laughed and said,
"General, I was just as shocked as you were back then!"
"But it's true, these counterfeit cigarettes have spread throughout Southeast Asia, especially in Japan, where their market share has now surpassed that of the genuine products,"
"Meanwhile, people from Malaysia and the Philippines have already gone to Hong Kong to discuss exclusive agency cooperation with Mo Ran..."
Leon took another deep breath and said,
"You mean, you want me to secure the exclusive agency rights for the entire Pacific Kingdom, so that Mo Ran can ask the mainland to send troops to help us!"
The chief of staff nodded and said,
"General, this is why the people from Mian Dian and Lao Wo so readily agreed to your cooperation with Mo Ran!"
"Because they also received these counterfeit cigarettes over there..."
Upon hearing this, Leon immediately picked up the phone and called Mo Ran, who was in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, unable to resist Li Jiaxin's constant nagging, Mo Ran finally accompanied her to Victoria Peak to check on the progress of the villa construction!
Seeing that the foundation of the villa had been completed in just a few days, Li Jiaxin's beautiful face immediately lit up with excitement as she spoke to the contractor beside her.
"Well done! You must work around the clock. The sooner you finish building, the more money we'll pay you!"
Upon hearing this, the foreman, already hunched over, bent even more and said with a smile,
"Mr. Mo, Mrs. Li, please rest assured!"
"We will definitely complete the construction work as quickly as possible, while ensuring both quality and quantity!"
Just as Mo Ran was about to say something, Aji walked over from behind with the phone and said...
"Brother Ran, it's General Leon from Thailand on the phone...!"
