Chapter 1 Slanka, the Chi Army Base

After three years of development, the Chi Army's troop size has reached about 16,000, with four newly formed regiments and a new Garrison Brigade established, headed by Fei Pingsheng.

Why did Lao Fei rise so quickly, like a rocket?

Because at least four thousand of the more than six thousand newly expanded troops were recruited by him. This bald man united almost all the armed forces that could be united in the Sinaloa region, and his work was extremely effective.

Zhao Wei Hu is a man of his word. He once promised Fei Pingsheng to calculate work performance based on the number of people recruited. Now that he has successfully completed the task, he must fulfill his promise.

However, in the past year or so, the Chi Army's expansion path has begun to encounter obstacles, because the human resources around Sinaloa have been exhausted. There are almost no Chinese who can carry a gun, and the establishment of foreign armed forces has proven to be not feasible in practice.

In these three years, Zhao Wei Hu had also incorporated two foreign armed forces, similar in nature to the previous Somali sailors, totaling more than a thousand people.

Originally, Zhao Wei Hu thought of training and using them, but after more than half a year of integration, he realized that these people really had no sense of belonging to the Chinese troops. They were just here to cheat money.

They took military expenses on the surface, but secretly did whatever they wanted. There were countless cases of soldiers robbing, using drugs, bullying women, and stealing military equipment to sell for money.

Finally, Fei Pingsheng became anxious and shot more than a dozen officers, but it still had no effect. More than a hundred soldiers mutinied, burned down the barracks, and secretly ran out of the defense zone.

Zhao Wei Hu saw that these "outsiders" really couldn't be managed. Forcing them to stay in the Chi Army would easily corrupt the atmosphere of the troops, so in the end, he could only choose to disband them and let them get lost.

The shortage of troops has limited the development of the Chi Army. This is why Su Tian Yu is now wholeheartedly focusing his energy on grabbing people, because The Dragon City Rises is too limited, and the situation is much more complicated than his hometown.

...

Slanka, the Garrison Brigade headquarters.

"Big brother, what do you want to eat? Your sister-in-law will make it for you!" A Hua asked Su Tian Yu in the living room.

"No need, I've already eaten." Su Tian Yu smiled and looked at him, "Big Brother and Commander Zhao won't be back until late, right?"

"Yeah, probably around midnight." A Hua nodded. "Little Commander is doing a local inspection, and suddenly called, asking us to send someone over. Alas, things have been tense here lately, with this kind of thing happening often."

"Yeah, has there been any activity from the rebels recently?" Su Tian Yu asked.

A Hua, wearing a very simple military uniform with his sleeves rolled up, replied, "Same as before, every now and then, they fire a few shots at us, to fool the higher-ups into giving them more military expenses."

"Ah. Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll rest inside for a while and wait for them to come back." Su Tian Yu nodded.

"Okay, let me know if you need anything." A Hua replied with a smile.

"Hehe, alright."

After saying that, A Hua led a group of military dependents and women, and stepped out to go to work.

In the past two years, many rebel troops have reached a tacit understanding with the Chi Army, the Third Division, and the troops of the old Mexican government. Every now and then, they fight a battle that doesn't hurt their vitality. They make a big commotion, as if they are about to fight a decisive battle, but in reality, they end up in a perfunctory manner.

The purpose of doing this is also very obvious, that is, both sides can't be idle, otherwise the military expenses will definitely be cut. But fighting with real swords and guns is something that no one can afford, so they fight a battle that is all thunder and little rain, which can solve many problems.

This is also why Su Tian Yu's arms business can continue to be done. Each side gets what it wants, and he can also pick up the scraps.

...

Inside the rest room.

Hou Guo Yu was lying on the bed sleeping, while Su Tian Yu was sitting on a chair, reading the personnel transfer report of the old Mexican government.

"Dilingling!"

A burst of telephone ringing sounded, Su Tian Yu picked up the phone, "Hello, Big Brother!"

"Where are you?"

"In Slanka, what's wrong?"

"There's something, I need to discuss it with you!" Su Tian Nan paused for a moment and said, "Tao Tao and I will be there in about three hours, save some time for me so we can chat."

Su Tian Yu smiled, "What's the matter, so urgent?"

"Damn, it's a long story, let's talk when we meet."

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

The two brothers ended the call, and Su Tian Yu didn't think too much about it, he just lowered his head and continued reading the report.

...

Around six o'clock in the evening.

Su Tian Yu had just finished dinner when he saw Su Tian Nan appear, bringing with him Zhang Tao Tao, dressed in black.

"Hey, sister-in-law, you look so energetic again!" Su Tian Yu teased enthusiastically.

"Hehe, not bad." Zhang Tao Tao replied with a smile.

"Sit, sit!" Su Tian Yu pulled out a chair for her.

"Alas!"

Su Tian Nan and Tao Tao sat down, and he sighed, "Damn, I've been so annoyed lately."

"What's wrong?" Su Tian Yu asked.

"Has your recruitment been going smoothly lately?" Su Tian Nan thoughtfully poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Tao Tao first.

"Recruitment? Recruitment of what?" The best thing about Gou Liu Zi is that he doesn't tell the truth even to his own family, pretending to be stupid, he's really shrewd.

"Don't mess with me." Su Tian Nan rolled his eyes. "Do you know what they're calling Lu Feng outside now?"

"I don't know." Su Tian Yu shook his head.

"They're calling him the Missionary of the European and American Continent! Your Total Unification Bureau is now also known as the Jerusalem of the Old Mexican Region." Su Tian Nan squinted his eyes and said, "Awesome, brother! Before I came, I got the news that he had also settled things with Monk's Lao Yang, right?"

"I don't know anything...!"

"Stop pretending." Su Tian Nan looked at Gou Liu Zi, "The Second District, the Third District, and the First District, they should have reached some kind of agreement. They want to ban many Chinese social organizations... Little brother, they're on the defensive!"

"Yeah, right." Su Tian Yu took a sip of tea and said, "It's really a bit difficult now, the Qingyi Bureau and the Central Bureau are all recruiting people!"

"Yes, I went to the Second District yesterday, originally wanting to find a middleman to contact someone named Wu Bo Xin. But I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived, the middleman was taken out, and Wu Bo Xin was also controlled." Su Tian Nan frowned, "If things continue like this...!"

"Wu Bo Xin was arrested?" Su Tian Yu was a little surprised.

"Yeah. You know this person too?" Su Tian Nan asked.

"How could I not know him? I was just about to contact him!"

"Damn, didn't you say you didn't know anything about recruiting people?" Su Tian Nan glared at him, "You're not even telling me the truth!"

"It's mainly because you're now a high-level member of the Chinese Workers' Association, and we have a competitive relationship." Su Tian Yu replied, "I'm very afraid of you, valuing principles over kinship."

"Stop talking nonsense." Su Tian Nan frowned and looked at his little brother, "I'm telling you, this Wu Bo Xin is very important!! If he's taken out, we won't have any chance in the Second District, do you understand what I mean?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Join forces and do something big?" Su Tian Nan asked tentatively.
