Chapter 154 The Opportunity Has Arrived

Su Tianyu raised his head to look at the messenger: "Did someone come, or did they call?"

"They called." The messenger replied truthfully, "The general idea is that a cooperative opportunity has arisen, and Tagu is willing to sit down and talk with us."

"Hahaha!"

Jiangzhou laughed upon hearing this, "I give that boast a perfect score."

"What kind of opportunity is that?!" Xin Xiaodong also scoffed, "Bana City is in chaos, and District One has a knife to his neck. What qualifications does he have to negotiate?"

Gu Baishun crossed his arms. "Besides us, Tagu shouldn't have any outside support. If he insists until the end, he'll be finished. My personal suggestion is to fleece him first."

"That's right. He was so arrogant when he killed those dogs, but today he'll be as miserable as he was arrogant when he pays up," Hou Guoyu chimed in.

Listening to everyone's words, Su Tianyu waved his hand with a grin, "We're taking advantage of his misfortune a little bit, aren't we!"

"Reply to him?" Jiangzhou asked Su Tianyu.

Su Tianyu looked at the messenger and said with a frown, "I am now fully responsible for the matter of contacting Tagu. If they call again, connect them to me. I'll talk to them."

"Yes!" Although the messenger didn't know what position Su Tianyu held in the Chi Army, he still tried to please him.

"Go!" Su Tianyu waved his hand.

After the messenger left, everyone was quite happy, because the situation in Bana City had been deadlocked for a long time. Although countless difficulties and obstacles were waiting for them, it was better to have a turning point than to be stuck in a stagnant pool.

Su Tianyu picked up his cigarette case and thought carefully for a long while, saying, "Now that we have news here, I also have to contact Dragon City?"

"Contact who?" Jiangzhou asked.

"That's none of your business." Su Tianyu replied, smoking a cigarette, "Just sit here and act like a big brother, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Qiangzi, your brother advises you, young people shouldn't be so arrogant." Da Bai stood beside him and teased Su Tianyu, "Talk to your Jiang Daddy nicely!"

"You're the most awesome."

"...No need to rush, Bai Bai. When things are over, Father will help you propose to Bruna." Jiangzhou turned his head and responded.

"Haha!"

Everyone laughed.

...

Washington.

Zhou Xian, wearing a neat suit, stood in the council hall of the nursing home, crossed his arms, and asked, "What's the situation in Bana City now?"

"It was very chaotic at first, but after the Blackwater Legion assembled 10,000 troops and entered the city, the situation was effectively alleviated." The staff member next to him replied, "Once the curfew was issued and control points were established, the city stabilized."

Zhou Xian frowned and walked to the window. "What is Tagu thinking?! Why didn't he prevent the Warhammer Corps from attacking outside the city? He's holed up his main force in the city, leaving only 8,000 people stationed on the border. Is he preparing to defend the city with all his strength, or does he have other plans?"

"Is it possible that Tagu has already reached a cooperation agreement with the Chi Army?" The chief of staff sent by the Chinese Legion stood up and said.

"So fast?" Zhou Xian shook his head. "If I were Su Tianyu and Zhao Weihu, I definitely wouldn't proactively contact Tagu at this time. Bana City is already a mess. Even if the Chi Army wants to help, they can't fly over in a short time, so it's better to wait for a better price."

"That makes sense, but only this reason can explain why Tagu is fully retracting his troops into the city." The chief of staff frowned and replied, "The Chi Army is involved in the periphery, and they're defending, preparing to join forces."

"I agree!"

"I also agree. Tagu either wants to defend with all his strength and stabilize the city first, or he has already reached an agreement with the Chi Army."

Everyone expressed their opinions.

After Zhou Xian walked around the room, he frowned and ordered, "Notify the Warhammer mercenary group to divide their troops into two groups. One part should prevent the Chi Army from moving to support Bana City, and the other should compress the military activity space outside Bana City. Since we don't know Tagu's intentions, let's force him to reveal his hand!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Also, notify the Xue family's armed forces to fully protect the supply lines of the Warhammer troops and do a good job in logistics." After Zhou Xian issued another order, he waved his hand and said, "Meeting adjourned!"

...

Washington.

Xue Pingan had been here for several days, because Kang Dinghuang had hinted to him that he should try not to go to the main battlefield when he was being coerced at home, lest something happen that he couldn't explain.

Inside the apartment building.

Xue Pingan smoked a cigarette, his face haggard.

Outside the door, there was a knock.

"Enter!" Xue Pingan shouted.

"President," the male secretary walked over and said softly, "I just received news that your son, Xue Nan, has been secretly sent to Washington and is currently in the hands of Anze City's people."

Xue Pingan looked up at him. "How is Xiao Nan...?"

"Not good." The secretary understood what Xue Pingan meant and said in a low voice, "Yu Zhen, Anze City's wife, has used many connections and has already spread the word that they not only want to use Xue Nan to clear An Qiqi of criminal responsibility, but they also want to dig deep into the Xue family's industry, using the method of pulling out a carrot and bringing out the mud... to bite the officials who have economic dealings with us."

Xue Pingan gritted his teeth when he heard this.

"This move is quite vicious." The secretary hesitated and said, "Suppose... Xiao Nan can't hold on inside and really spills the beans, then the high-ranking officials who have dealings with us will panic... and the Xue family's situation will become even more difficult."

Xue Pingan picked up his cigarette case and slowly closed his eyes. "What's the situation in Bana City?"

"It's already in chaos."

"...Forcing me, huh!" Xue Pingan lit a cigarette. "I have no way out!"

...

Sri Lanka.

While Su Tianyu was secretly plotting with Jiangzhou and others, the phone from Bana City rang again.

In the living room, Su Tianyu, representing the Chi Army, answered the phone. "I am Su Tianyu. What do you want to talk about?"

"Respected Mr. Su..." The other party spoke in English.

"Speak Chinese! If you can't, have someone who can communicate with me." Su Tianyu put on a show.

After a short while, the phone was picked up by an officer who spoke Chinese. He said directly, "Mr. Su, I represent General Tagu to express our sincerity in cooperation..."

"We currently have no intention of cooperating." Su Tianyu said bluntly, "Your situation is too bad. There's nothing to talk about."

The officer paused slightly. "What do you mean by 'situation'?"

"The Warhammer Corps has already surrounded Bana City, and you're having internal turmoil. What do you think we can talk about?"

"No, the situation in Bana City is not as bad as you think." The officer frowned and replied, "If the Warhammer organization's troops withdraw from two offensive areas within three days, would you still think we are at a disadvantage?"

"If they can withdraw from two offensive areas within three days, I will take the initiative to call you." Su Tianyu replied domineeringly, hung up the landline directly, and curled his lips, "What a load of bullshit! Ten thousand people have already entered the city. What are they going to use to make the Warhammer retreat? I think this Tagu is not only a madman, but also extremely arrogant...!"

...

Inside the Bernardo Manor.

Tagu looked at the several mid-level officers in front of him, raised his arm, and shouted, "The war has begun! The glory of the Blackwater Legion needs you to defend it!!"

"Long live the Blackwater Legion!!!"

The officers stood at attention and saluted, their voices loud and firm.
