Chapter 1380: War Must Be Warmed
The master was kidnapped, the new emperor was kidnapped, how can this be tolerated?
After seeing Lei Zhen’s tragic condition in the video, the clan leaders all felt horrified.
It’s not that they are afraid of seeing blood, but they are worried about their own interests. The first thought of many people is whether the profitable business can continue.
As for how Lei Zhen is doing and whether he can come back alive, it is secondary.
No, it’s also the main thing!
They didn't know how long their profitable business could last without Lei Zhen.
All the huge profits made without doing anything for more than a year were made by Lei Zhen. If someone replaced him, would it still be the same?
In a short period of time, everyone was frantically analyzing the pros and cons, and the final conclusion was that no matter who took over, it would be impossible for them to make money without doing anything like Lei Zhen did.
It’s not that the successor doesn’t give opportunities, but that he simply doesn’t have the ability.
Today's business is international trade. Whether selling domestically or buying from abroad, you can make a lot of money by reselling it, and this model requires huge relationships.
It is not easy to get the food from Ermao Country, the mechanical equipment from Daying, the electrical appliances from Jiaobenji, the cars from West Germany, etc. Who can deal with the forces along the way?
There are local gangs on land, corrupt police in customs, and pirates on the sea... From the moment you place an order, you will be subjected to layers of exploitation, and your goods may even be stolen or detained.
If you want to make this money, you have to open the channel completely, otherwise don’t even think about doing this kind of foreign trade.
Who can do it?
Only Lei Zhen!
Gangs don't dare to rob his goods, customs don't dare to cause trouble for him, and pirates don't dare to rob his ships. If any link goes against him, they will definitely die a miserable death.
Without Lei Zhen, no one would be able to get rich.
It was at this moment that the inertia cultivated in each family was revealed.
If I don’t do foreign trade, the money I have earned will not be reduced, but it will return to what it was before.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Even if there is no change after stopping, who would be willing to go back?
I'm used to making money and I can't change it.
When you have no money, you can drink liquor that costs 5 yuan a bottle. Even if your mouth is full of the taste of alcohol, it still feels good. But when you are used to drinking Maotai, Wuliangye and Jianfeng, who can drink low-quality liquor that costs 5 yuan?
"call……"
"This is a war between the West and the East, and even more so a war of dignity..."
Lei Zhen in the video was grinning, with blood flowing down the corners of his mouth, which was so tragic that it was heartbreaking.
"Don't worry about my life or death, fight, the backbone of the East... Fight, the backbone of the East! Even if I die, I will not allow you to bow your heads, fight--"
The video ended, but Lei Zhen's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
A battle between East and West?
A battle of dignity!
"Old man, we have to save you!"
"Declare war with the West. We must declare war on the West!"
"To insult Mr. is to insult us. To trample us in the East underfoot!"
"Save the gentleman, let's start the battle——"
The clan leaders roared, each of them was righteous and asked Lei Hongwu to start a war.
But I don’t know how many of them are doing this for justice and dignity. Anyway, the emotions have been ignited and the atmosphere has been set.
"My fellow clan leaders, my son has been kidnapped by the Western vampires using extremely despicable means. This is a provocation to the East and a mockery to everyone present! The purpose of our clan's existence is to protect the East, and this is also the responsibility of each clan leader..."
After Lei Hongwu's angry and impassioned speech, the atmosphere reached its climax.
Yes, the family exists to protect the East, and protecting the East is to fight against the West. Now that the West has started the war first, how can we not fight?
Even though everyone knows that protecting the East is just a high-sounding excuse, it is precisely because of this reason that the family enjoys various privileges.
Now that something has really happened, we must take it upon ourselves to protect the East and maintain the privileges of our family.
Simply put, no matter from which perspective, this matter is closely related to their own interests. If they retreat this time, their defense will be untenable. They will be destroyed internally without having to wait for the West to invade.
The normal world allows them to enjoy themselves, but does it mean they can run away when something happens?
Of course not!
The family world is one dimension higher than the normal world, but their base is in the normal world, and they complement each other.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. This is the relationship between a boat and water.
"Clan leaders, mobilize the troops," Lu Xiaoqi said solemnly, "I hope each clan will spare no effort to rescue Master and fight for our Eastern backbone!"
"The Eastern Jiang family will mobilize all their available forces!" Old Master Jiang shouted.
"The Zhu family in the southwest will mobilize all its available forces!" Zhu Yuanhan then expressed his stance.
"The Han family has come out in full force, a total of 28,000 people!"
"The Xiang family is mobilized..."
When there is war, troops must be dispatched. When it comes to the war between the East and the West, several major families will come out in full force.
They are like this, what can the families below say?
He could only follow closely and mobilize all the family's forces that could be used for combat. All forces were controlled by Lei Hongwu, who was responsible for formulating rescue plans, combat plans, etc.
In just a few days, the military forces of the major families were almost completely drained.
Although many families were reluctant, there was nothing they could do. Even some smart clan leaders had already seen the signs and knew that this matter was not that simple.
What kind of person is he, sir? How could he be caught just like that?
His influence in the West is greater than that in China. If he was arrested in China, it would be understandable, but if he was arrested in the West, it is a bit unreasonable.
There are naturally smart people among the clan leaders, such as the Ji family in the northwest.
"Sir is finally going to start cleaning..."
The head of the Ji family sat on the bed, his eyes filled with deep thought.
"Master, didn't you say that the gentleman was kidnapped? Why do you say he needs to be cleaned up?" Mrs. Ji asked in a low voice.
"How could he be kidnapped? Has he ever lost since he came here? The former Jiang family leader was so powerful, but he eventually chose to commit suicide."
"The Lu family in Northeast China was the first to rebel, and what's become of them now? They're all submissive before the master, more obedient than a pet dog. But that's the Lu family led by Lu Xiaoqi!"
Being killed and choosing to commit suicide may seem similar, but in fact they are worlds apart.
One is passive and the other is active.
No one wants to commit suicide. If one ultimately chooses suicide, it only proves that the fear in one's heart outweighs the hope of living, and it also reflects the terror that the suicide person faces in the face of the enemy.
"Fortunately, Master, you were wise enough not to betray me."
"Those who betrayed others will definitely have no way to survive, and those who did not betray others may not be able to escape unscathed."
"So what should we do?"
"Send out all the people you can, and then gather all your wealth and send it to the old man. Perhaps this is the only way to save the family."
Smart people are always smart, and when they need to make a choice, they can make drastic decisions.
