The Dragon City Rises, Blackwater Army Corps temporary base.

That night, Su Tianyu returned to the camp and began to draw lots.

First, Xin Xiaodong's Third Division, under the command of Chief of Staff Wu, boarded the ship directly. Subsequently, the remaining troops of the Riot and Terror Group were also assembled, ready to depart. The two groups combined had nearly 15,000 troops, heading to Jia City to join the main force, leaving only a small garrison to continue protecting the safety of Bana City.

Truckloads of military equipment were transported out of Bana City and directly onto the ships.

The 15,000 troops were equipped with equipment for about 20,000 people. This mobilization fully demonstrated the military strength of the Lao Li team, with heavy armored vehicles and tanks enough to arm at least two regiments.

The light mechanized military equipment, including light armored vehicles, helicopters, and pickup truck fleets, was sufficient to arm the entire Blackwater Army Corps.

Next was the Chi Army. Zhao Weihu also personally called Su Tianyu.

"Are you preparing to fight?" Zhao Weihu asked directly.

"Yes, negotiations have broken down." Su Tianyu nodded, "Gustav is asking for a beating. The Hua District is also angry and wants to crush him."

"Alright, but my own troops can't leave." Zhao Weihu didn't hide anything and said straightforwardly, "If I leave, Sri Lanka will definitely be lost. The situation with the Lao Mo government army is also very complicated. Sri Lanka and Huarez Town are the two major defense zones on which the Chi Army relies for survival, so my main force must stay here."

"I understand, your situation is indeed complicated." Su Tianyu also knew Zhao Weihu's difficulties and said softly, "We still have to wait for the Little Commander to stabilize the situation before you can relax a bit."

"Like this," Zhao Weihu pondered for a moment and said, "If you're going to do something big, it wouldn't be right for me, as your older brother, not to provide some support. Lao Fei's brigade is at your disposal. I'll have him lead his troops to Bana City immediately."

"Say no more, Brother." Su Tianyu was grateful and gently reminded, "But you also need to be careful. I estimate that once I make any moves, Kang Dinghuang will definitely let the rebel army take a bite out of you."

"I understand." The two talked for a few more minutes, arranged some details, and then hung up the phone.

An Qiqi and Yu Mingyuan were sitting next to him, also contacting people to prepare for this matter. Seeing Su Tianyu hang up the phone, An Qiqi asked, "Have you finished contacting your side?"

"Yes." Su Tianyu briefly explained the troop deployment situation here, and then directly asked An Qiqi, "What about your An family, can you mobilize?"

An Qiqi thought for a moment and responded softly, "Like this, I'll go back to Dragon City with Brother Mingyuan now and talk to my dad directly."

"Good." Su Tianyu looked solemn and responded very formally, "Now that things have come to this, let's lay our cards on the table. Although I don't know what General An means, the current situation is very clear. If we don't touch Huo Dongsheng, then we're stuck here, which is equivalent to being cut hard by someone, splitting the Huagong Association, and then not daring to fight back. If you do this, how can other Chinese groups in Zones 123 still follow us and trust us? We shout slogans every day, but when it comes to critical moments, we back down. This kind of group has no appeal. But if we fight, we must win, otherwise the collapse of the St. Paul area will definitely cause Zone One to set its sights on Dragon City and strangle us to death. And if we fall, the overseas Chinese armed forces will also fall. Talking about overseas Chinese forces and Chinese organizations at that time will all be nonsense. Please convey these words to General An. The situation is urgent, and there is no time to wait and see."

"We all understand the seriousness of the matter." An Qiqi nodded, "Wait for our news."

"Yes." Su Tianyu nodded heavily.

...

A few hours later, Dragon City, An family military headquarters.

An Qiqi and Yu Mingyuan's plane landed at Dragon City Airport. The two got off the plane and went straight to the An family military headquarters.

Arriving at the military headquarters, the two discovered that An Zecheng was not there.

An Qiqi called a guard and directly asked, "Where is Commander An?"

The guard saluted An Qiqi and said, "Reporting, the Commander just went to the headquarters for a meeting."

"Uncle is acting so fast?" Yu Mingyuan was a little surprised.

"Let's go, we'll go to the headquarters to find him." Time waits for no one. An Qiqi pulled Yu Mingyuan and went directly to the Garrison Headquarters to find someone.

Arriving at the headquarters, the two were stopped in the lobby.

"The two leaders are in a meeting, please wait here." The guard said politely.

"Let's wait." Yu Mingyuan patted An Qiqi's shoulder, "Maybe Uncle has already started preparing."

An Qiqi thought for a while and could only nod, sitting on the chair in the lobby waiting for An Zecheng.

...

At the same time, in a conference room at the Tan family headquarters.

An Zecheng looked at Tan Hengqiang, who was drinking tea, and asked impatiently, "Give me a straight answer, are you participating in the war or not?"

Tan Hengqiang picked up his teacup and said slowly, "Isn't fighting against them? How will we explain it when the time comes?"

An Zecheng stared at Tan Hengqiang, tapping the table directly with his fingers, and said with rare excitement, "My Commander Tan, wake up! You've been so honest for the past three years, operating in all directions. My legs are almost broken from running for you. Have they given you the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief? If we don't jump up now, we won't be able to show our value! Why can Huo Dongsheng negotiate with Zone One? Isn't it because he started the Huaxing Business and built up momentum, so Zone One is willing to recognize his value? The logic is that simple: the squeaky wheel gets the grease!"

Tan Hengqiang put the teacup on the table, looked at An Zecheng, and said calmly, "What is Huo Dongsheng? Can his situation be compared to mine? No one cares if he makes a move, but if I make a move, it's rebellion. Let me just tell you this: the garrison cannot participate in this war. Don't even think about the St. Paul's matter."

An Zecheng sat back and said simply, "If your garrison doesn't move, then my An family will do it ourselves."

Tan Hengqiang's expression finally changed. He looked at An Zecheng, frowning tightly, "Lao An, isn't this kidnapping? Pushing me into the fire. If you move, what's the difference between your move and mine?"

An Zecheng looked serious and said sincerely, "Lao Tan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Only in this way can you be directly pushed to that position. Zone One will definitely maintain stability in the aftermath. They won't dare to fight, and they won't dare to let go. At that time, you might not just be in the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief. The Commander-in-Chief position will be yours, because no one but you can handle Dragon City! You and Lao Li will be in charge of military and political affairs respectively. This is the most ideal outcome!"

Tan Hengqiang caressed his teacup and said slowly, "I will judge for myself whether it is an opportunity."

An Zecheng was silent.

The two were silent for a while. After a period of silence, Tan Hengqiang put down his teacup and interjected, "Okay, I'll take a step back. At most, five thousand people, all out of uniform, will secretly participate in the St. Paul's operation."

...

The Dragon City Rises, Blackwater Army Corps temporary base.

The conference room was brightly lit, and all the senior generals of the Unified Administration were sitting inside, arguing about the St. Paul's operation.

Xin Xiaodong's voice suddenly flew out from the crowd. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "I've marked the location of the bank, dammit! Whoever dares to compete with me for the main attack position, I'll fight them to the death!"
