Chapter 1125 Seizing Half of the Country
The investigation is ongoing, but no matter what the outcome, it is a fact that Lei Zhen controls the headquarters of the Public Opinion Research Bureau.
In addition, the Guo family in the northwest was under his control, and the Zhu family in the southwest began to rise and regained recognition from families across the southwest.
At this point, Lei Zhen has taken control of the southwest, northwest, and the Public Opinion Bureau headquarters, and through a large-scale mission to find ancestral graves, he has allowed the Qimen Sect to cooperate for the first time in decades.
Southwest, Northwest, Public Opinion Bureau Headquarters, Qimen Sect, it seemed that he had been suppressed, but in fact he controlled half of the country in a very short period of time.
Old Man Jiang lost miserably.
Although he still holds the Northeast, Central, and Southeast, plus his own East, a loss is a loss, and he cannot deny it.
Despite having an absolute advantage, half of the market was snatched away from them, and they even lost it without realizing it.
Only when I thought back after losing him did I realize the horror of this son-in-law's methods.
It seems that he didn't do anything, as if he just played with women all day long, but he still took away half of the country.
"The father is a hero, and the son is also a hero. Lei Zhen is not bad." Old man Jiang sighed to himself: "I'm not afraid of taking half of it, but I'm afraid of its formation..."
Victory and defeat are common in the military. Losing is not scary, but what is scary is that the fire has already taken shape.
A foreign trade department makes all the small families eager to try. This is a sign that the fire has become a trend. Although it can be suppressed temporarily, it will definitely not work for a long time.
Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.
When the younger brother wants to make money, the boss has to stop him. For a while, he dares not do anything due to the pressure, but when he really becomes jealous, he will kill the boss without hesitation.
"Brother Jiang, the first half was all about that bastard Lei Zhen, so it's time for us to be the protagonists in the second half, right?" Northeast Lu Xiaoqi said coldly.
"Of course, the first half was just a test, the real battle will be in the second half." Old Man Jiang said, biting his pipe. "What Lei Zhen lacks most is military force. This time, success depends entirely on the Han family's troops. But the Han family is formed by the merger of four bandit gangs: the Hua family, the Feng family, and the Wei family."
The lack of necessary military force is Lei Zhen’s biggest shortcoming.
Without the Han family's soldiers, he could not complete the purge of the investigation department, nor could he find an excuse to create a special period to forcefully enter the Public Opinion Bureau headquarters.
"Yes, the Han family was responsible for the investigation of this massacre. We can start from this aspect."
"As long as this is exposed, regardless of whether it is ultimately disproven, Lei Zhen will be questioned by the world and will inevitably step down."
Lu Xiaoqi's eyes lit up. This was a ready-made entry point.
Such a large-scale operation, even a well-organized military operation, would leave clues, let alone one carried out by a group of horse bandits.
All the traces left behind are evidence.
"The most powerful aspect of nuclear weapons is deterrence, not launching them." Old Man Jiang said, "The Han family is not controlled by the King of Han alone. There are three other families as well."
"Brother Jiang, what do you mean?"
"Let's wait and see, haha."
"Oh... I understand! Lei Zhen's biggest reliance right now is the Han family's soldiers, but the Han family can be divided. Just put the evidence from the Massacre Investigation Department in front of them, hahahaha..."
Nothing can be perfect. There are always flaws and strengths in every fight.
Lei Zhen really relied on the Han family's soldiers, otherwise he wouldn't have thought Han Yuechun was so beautiful. Their family's 20,000 soldiers were like timely help to him.
But twenty thousand is too much!
Standing on the upper floor of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, you can see that almost all of the soldiers are from the Han family, who are protecting the bureau inside and outside with three layers of defense and taking on the task of guarding it.
This is inappropriate.
Although Lei Zhen knew that the Han family would not do anything to him now, he would feel uneasy when he was under the armed protection of others.
"Are you worried?" Jinju asked.
She now understood this gentleman more and more. When Lei Zhen's eyes fell on these soldiers, she knew that the other party was beginning to worry.
"The Han family is not controlled by King Han alone, but by four families."
"My biggest disadvantage is the lack of weapons. Old Man Jiang can see this. He will definitely try to split the Han family, thereby dividing these soldiers and even causing a mutiny from within. By then, we will be trapped."
Lei Zhen had thought about this problem a long time ago because he made his fortune through war.
If you have soldiers in your hands, you will not be nervous, but if they are other people's soldiers, you will be worried all the time, because whoever owns the soldiers has the final say.
"Remove some? Or..."
"Don't move for now, Old Man Jiang isn't that fast yet."
"I'm afraid he'll bring out the evidence and put it in front of the Han family, and then let the Han family accuse you. After all, the massacre by the Investigation Department was instigated by us."
Jinju was very worried because the job was not done cleanly.
To be precise, it is impossible to do things so cleanly. The other party must have something on them, and once it is used, it will be enough to destroy them.
"Old Man Jiang won't do that, because it won't do him any good." Lei Zhen shook his head and said, "After this series of battles, he should have a deeper understanding of what kind of person I am. Who isn't afraid of missiles? Even if I were protected by hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, I'd still be afraid of a sudden thermobaric bomb."
He had every reason to believe that Old Man Jiang would come to understand himself better and would reconsider himself after suffering a loss. Once the other party had truly understood his style, he would never rashly reveal his secrets.
Once it is announced, Lei Zhen will be doomed to fail. By then, not to mention a missile, he will even be able to use a poison gas bomb.
"The purpose of struggle is not to destroy but to conquer, which is why there will be no nuclear war."
"They've taken out their nuclear weapons and blasted the entire Earth. What's the point of that?"
"Old Man Jiang and I are in this situation. Everything must be limited to a regular fight. No one will really cross the red line and fall into a desperate, life-and-death struggle."
This is strategic thinking, and it is also his analysis of Old Man Jiang.
Before the final step, everyone has to hold on to the last line, otherwise everything will go their separate ways, no one will play anymore, and we will be destroyed together.
"There's a mysterious power behind the position of Master. Otherwise, it wouldn't be feared and respected by everyone." Lei Zhen thought for a moment and said, "But my father hasn't handed it over to me yet, so it's still under probation. I don't know if my performance in the past two weeks as Master has met their standards."
Sir, you are in a position and it is impossible for you to not have your own power.
How could a commander without any support make the traditionalists, family factions, and strange sects all bow down to him? A high position without any countermeasures is just a castle in the air.
"I've heard a little bit about it, but I don't know if it's true or not." Jin Ju thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the power behind you, sir, is..."
"Stop talking, that's not good." Lei Zhen interrupted.
He didn't want to know what the power behind the gentleman was for the time being, because knowing too much would cause him psychological burden.
And it is certain that this power is even more mysterious, and it is not good for anyone to speak it out.
What we should do now is to stabilize the current situation, manage this half of the country well, and hold it firmly in our hands.
