Chapter 1 That Night

That night.

Su Tianyu hosted a private banquet for Da Bai, Bruna, Bo Ang, and Xin Xiaodong, which lasted until dawn.

During the banquet, Director Su gave "important instructions" regarding the internal military issues of Bana City.

After the party, Da Bai eagerly offered to take Bruna home, and Su Tianyu gave him an inquisitive look.

Da Bai nodded firmly, indicating to Su Tianyu that everything was under control.

With all arrangements made, Su Tianyu took a car to the airport.

On the way, Xin Xiaodong whispered, "Sixth Master, will things get out of control after you leave?"

Su Tianyu turned to look at Xin Xiaodong, "The public-facing matters are entirely your responsibility. I won't give you a plan; you figure it out yourself. But there's one condition: don't mess things up."

"That's a bit difficult," Xin Xiaodong said with a helpless smile.

"You need to understand that the authority to station troops isn't something I'm seeking for myself, but for you," Su Tianyu said with a frown. "The Chi Army already has Sri Lanka and Huarei Town. The best solution to the Third Division's territorial problem is in Bana City, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, Grand Ancestor!" Xin Xiaodong immediately used a more respectful title. "Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job."

Su Tianyu nodded and sighed, "So tiring!"

"Sixth Grand Ancestor, shall I massage your feet? I just learned a set of ancient massage techniques from Brother Bai," Xin Xiaodong said diligently.

"Get lost, you're being disgusting!"

"Haha!"

The two smiled at each other.

An hour later, Gou Liuzi boarded a plane at Bana City Airport, returning to The Dragon City to push forward the next stage of work, including the distribution of political positions in Bana City, and Old Li's subsequent plans to expand his forces.

…

After seeing Su Tianyu off, Xin Xiaodong took a car back to the military base.

On the way, Xin Xiaodong called his father, "Hello, Dad!"

"Speak," Xin Chaojie's voice sounded. "How did your conversation with Su Tianyu go?"

"It went very well," Xin Xiaodong said truthfully. "Dad, I've made up my mind to follow Su Tianyu and Old Li."

"Tell me the reasons," Xin Chaojie asked in a calm tone.

Xin Xiaodong organized his thoughts. "Although Su Tianyu is not old, he is very experienced in handling matters. Objectively speaking, Old Li has successfully cultivated his overall perspective, and he also has a strong personal charm."

"How is that reflected?" Xin Chaojie asked in detail.

"Fairness, justice," Xin Xiaodong said almost without thinking. "In Old Li's team, as long as you work hard and achieve results, you can rise to the top. Not to mention distant examples, let's just talk about Fei Pingsheng, who came from humble beginnings. He has his shining points and abilities in his work, so Su Tianyu immediately promoted him to the same level as me, and no one can find fault with it. And then there's the issue of vision."

"What vision?"

"He talked to me today and made it clear that if The Dragon City gets absolute military power in Bana City in the subsequent negotiations, then this will be our Third Division's own territory." Xin Xiaodong also said carefully, "Dad, we are not the Chi Army, nor are we original shareholders who grew up with Old Li. We came later, and we were forced to defect, but Su Tianyu is willing to give us such an important main city to garrison, that's generous. If it were someone else, they would at least let the Chi Army operate here for a year or two before slowly handing over power."

"Hmm." Xin Chaojie nodded slowly, "Since you see it that way, then do your job well. If our Third Division really takes over Bana City, then I'll make you the deputy division commander. We won't overstep our authority. I'll personally submit an application to Zhao Weihu to slowly transition the power to you."

"Dad, you're still...!"

"I'm old; the future is up to you," Xin Chaojie interrupted. "Okay, that's it, I'm going to rest."

In fact, ever since the Third Division formally joined the Chi Army, Xin Chaojie had taken the opportunity of recuperating from his injuries to focus on cultivating his son. He not only placed his staff team next to Xin Xiaodong, but also had Chief of Staff Wu of the Third Division assist him.

Today, Xin Xiaodong was able to express his views on Su Tianyu and Old Li's team in detail, and with good reason, which further spurred Xin Chaojie's desire to step down.

After the father and son finished their call, Xin Xiaodong looked out the window and began to ponder the task that Gou Liuzi had given him.

…

No sooner said than done!

That night, after midnight.

Xin Xiaodong met with Yasin, the current acting commander of the Blackwater Legion, at the military camp. This person was previously the deputy commander of Tagu, ranking around fifth or sixth in the order of precedence, but because all the people in front of him had died in battle, he was promoted by Bruna and is currently responsible for the affairs of the Blackwater Legion.

The two talked until late at night before Yasin left.

The next morning, a little after six o'clock.

Yasin personally went to the apartment where Bruna lived, and had her sign the documents he had drafted.

With everything settled, Yasin transferred a battalion of the Blackwater Legion, and arrived at the airport garrison base around eight o'clock in the morning.

There are currently more than 3,000 Hua Gong Hui (Chinese Workers Association) armed forces stationed here, divided into four camps, but they are all near the airport, not far from each other.

After arriving here, Yasin met with an officer under Wang Xiao at the No. 1 garrison camp.

"Hello, Commander Yasin, please sit down!" The other party greeted him politely.

Yasin waved his hand and replied in English, "I won't sit down. I'm here on behalf of the highest administrative body of Bana City to announce the withdrawal order for the aid troops. Please take a look, Mr. Pang, this is the order requesting withdrawal."

The other party reached out and took the document, glanced at it, and said calmly, "But we haven't received an order from above?"

"I don't know about that." Yasin shook his head, "But the order I received is to supervise your withdrawal from Bana City before eight o'clock tonight."

"Hehe, Commander Yasin, this is not the way to treat guests, is it?"

"I'm a soldier, I only follow orders."

"You go back and tell Commander Bruna that our military investment in Bana City is unprecedented. If you don't fulfill your promises, then we won't leave." The officer's attitude was also very tough, "I hope you can seriously consider your own situation. Su Tianyu is not a savior. Their troops still need the support of the Hua District's arms trade, and we and the Hua District are on the same side."

Yasin frowned and looked at him; "Are you saying that you're not prepared to obey the repatriation order?"

"It's not that we're not obeying, it's that we need an explanation." The officer replied with a smile, "And we still have wounded soldiers who need treatment, so we can't leave now."

Yasin looked at him and said nothing more.

…

Bana City Water Plant.

A group of soldiers in plain clothes, carrying more than a dozen bags of unknown items, hurried in, and under the guidance of the water plant staff, entered an area.
