Chapter 1239: War Resumes

In the office of China in Xiaomolong, seeing the relaxation in Mr. He's eyes, Wang Yan said with a smile: "It was indeed sudden, and I was caught off guard."

"Mr. Wang's observation is keen, his body is agile, and his marksmanship is god-like. However, it was just a group of petty thieves; it definitely couldn't hurt Mr. Wang in the slightest."

Mr. He was indeed very nervous. Everyone could see that the stable situation in Xiaomolong was tied to Wang Yan alone. If Wang Yan died, Xiaomolong would fall into turmoil. The strategies that had already been formulated and some resources that had already been invested would all be void, and the current great situation would be washed away.

He turned to ask, "How does Mr. Wang view these people?"

"Organized, premeditated, colluding with people from both the military and political sides under my command, planned for a certain period of time, and mastered my whereabouts. I think the biggest possibility is Luan Basong, and it's not just Luan Basong; it might also involve the American side. After all, Sanbianpo is stable and prosperous, and I am the one standing out. This is what they don't want to see."

"Mr. Wang has international vision and great wisdom." Mr. He nodded repeatedly, then picked up a file bag from his side and opened it, taking out some photos and handing them to Wang Yan, "This was taken a few days ago. Luan Basong met this person, and this person is the military attaché of the United States stationed in the Bomei Federation."

Wang Yan held the photos and asked: "Did you ask me to have tea just because of this?"

"Originally, I wanted you to be prepared early, but I didn't expect them to take action so quickly." Mr. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Wanting to kill me, these people are not enough." Wang Yan laughed, "Obviously, Luan Basong can't hold on. The stable development he wants to accumulate power is impossible. The war is about to start. Mr. He, send me more rocket launchers. Whether I live or die depends on this battle."

"You want to open fire first?" Mr. He was stunned. He never expected Wang Yan to be so fierce, saying he would do it.

"I was assassinated; isn't this reason justified?"

"Very justified. But Mr. Wang, as far as I know, Ban Long and Sang Kang have already fought almost to the end. You have to consider them. Because your policy is to ban drugs, they are both big drug lords. Although their power is not as good as Luo Yang's, they cannot be underestimated. And Xiaomolong only has less than 7,000 government troops; it might be attacked from both sides, and at the same time, it has to ensure the stable development of Xiaomolong. I'm afraid it's beyond your strength..."

"The specific outcome will only be known after fighting. The current situation is that if I don't fight Luan Basong, he will come to fight me. Forced to this point, how can I consider so much? Naturally, it's better to fight first."

Wang Yan said with a smile, "However, I am still very confident. Whether it is Luan Basong, or Ban Long and Sang Kang, they are just a bunch of scattered soldiers and not to be feared. Even if the United States secretly provides weapons and even sends some troops to participate in the war, there is nothing to be afraid of.

In terms of troop strength, there isn't much difference. After all, you know what their soldiers are like. If I were willing to directly recruit soldiers, I could also pull out tens of thousands of people. It's just that such soldiers don't have much combat effectiveness; they are a bunch of rabble, and even if they take shots, it's in vain. You have seen the video of fighting Luo Yang before; what kind of stuff was that?"

Patting Mr. He on the shoulder, Wang Yan said, "In fact, after defeating Luo Yang last time, I was already prepared to fight Luan Basong. It's just that the old man was cowardly and willing to give money. If it were even a fraction less, I would have cleaned him up.

Mr. He, rest assured. Even if I lose the battle, as long as I have done the maximum damage, I can make a comeback in no time. You know how I started. It's just that I disdain to engage in assassinations. If it weren't for this, could Luan Basong live until today? As long as Luan Basong dies, those unruly subordinates of his will mess up themselves."

"Then I wish Mr. Wang victory and invincibility."

"You have to bring me more weapons and ammunition. However, this time it will be fiercer than the last time. Xiaomolong's construction cannot stop. I might have to owe money."

"I can make the decision on this matter, and it is also the greatest support we can give."

"That's enough." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "If there are no accidents, it will start in these two days. Leaving."

Wang Yan walked away with his hands behind his back, unhurriedly.

In fact, there was a lot that wasn't said, such as some people coming to Wang Yan's side to be soldiers, such as the acquiescence in handling the recruitment of soldiers in the country, and the relaxation when these people passed through the customs.

During the previous attack on Luo Yang, there had already been a good precedent, so this time the country was naturally more at ease.

Wang Yan paid real money. The pensions for those who came from the country to enlist and died in the war were far higher than those in Xiaomolong, and it was worthy of their purpose of coming to participate in the war with the idea of getting rich...

Time was still very short, but people had already taken to the streets again, curiously asking others what exactly happened just now.

Especially those from the country, their gossip hearts were all written on their faces. Not knowing the truth, they were anxious and stretched their necks to ask people everywhere about the situation.

Of course, this could also be understood. After all, the country is safe. If there is any excitement, they all watch curiously. Now that they have gone abroad and had a street gunfight, and it was obviously handled and restored to the previous safety, their leisure hearts came up again.

Compared to them, the locals were much calmer and had no panic. Only various business vendors and shop owners looked at the mess on the ground and sighed to themselves.

Obviously, the Xiaomolong government wouldn't manage these things for them...

Walking all the way, observing people's reactions, Wang Yan went straight to the headquarters.

Although he had decided to fight a war, he didn't directly mobilize troops.

Instead, he ordered Su Su: "Let the people from the tourism company withdraw. Withdraw them today."

"I'm afraid it's hard to handle." Su Su shook her head, "Luan Basong sent troops to protect safety, but also restricted their freedom

"Try it first. Even if they can't be withdrawn, their safety is guaranteed. Even if you gave Luan Basong eight times the courage, he wouldn't dare take the lives of those tourists."

This is a very simple principle: Luan Basong not touching the tourists is a matter between him and Wang Yan. If he does touch them, then it becomes a matter between Brother Long and him.

Although Luan Basong has now defected to the Americans, he is facing Wang Yan head-on, fighting a proxy war in Sanbianpo; in the end, it is still not a direct confrontation between two great powers. Once a real fight breaks out, the Americans are still a bit too far away, not as smooth as things are here in Xiaomolong. All in all, the one with the advantage is actually Xiaomolong.

Su Su nodded, walked to the side to contact the travel agency, compile the list, and arrange the evacuation...

At this moment, Zhang Yuquan came looking for him.

"Boss, it has been relayed, and arrangements have been made to capture them."

Subsequently, Zhang Yuquan reported the relevant intelligence regarding this assassination attempt.

The people who came were mercenaries, including Black and White people, from North America and Europe. According to the confessions of these members, their backer might be Thor; they weren't sure, it was just a guess. Others said it was Blackwater; they were a mercenary team indirectly controlled by them.

These personnel were quite elite, all having service backgrounds in special forces, and they also had considerable fame within mercenary organizations.

The reason they were able to get in this time and carry elite weapons was due to the cooperation of officers originally retained by the government army and personnel from the government side. The one who leaked his whereabouts was the front desk clerk at the Sihai Hotel.

Because Uncle Cai's invitation was delivered to the hotel and received by the front desk, the clerk gave this information to the person who bribed him. After analysis, the people behind it concluded that Wang Yan would likely attend the casino's opening ceremony in person.

Thus, they set up the assassination plan and took action today.

It's just that they had tried their best to overestimate Wang Yan's combat power, but they didn't expect to still underestimate it, resulting in most of them being captured alive.

Wang Yan nodded with a smile and instructed: "Don't kill the people captured. Interrogate them to find out who else was involved, then send them all to the construction site, and treat them according to the labor intensity of a death sentence."

"Yes, Boss." Zhang Yuquan took the order and left.

"Arrangements are made." Su Su walked over and said, "What's next? Mobilize supplies?"

"Smart."

Wang Yan clapped his hands and immediately gave Su Su instructions for the development of logistical work.

After hearing Wang Yan's words, Su Su went to carry out the mobilization of various supplies and the initial work of loading supplies onto vehicles, and so on. The entire war machine of Xiaomolong started up once again.

At the same time, Wang Yan ordered troops everywhere to start making preparations for the expedition and completed the deployment of various units. They only waited for the order to set off.

Half an hour later, Su Su ran over: "The tour groups can't come back; Luan Basong has detained them. Our tour leader was shot once, but it hit the leg and has been treated. There are eleven groups in total, counting the tour guides and security from our travel agency, a total of 278 people."

Wang Yan nodded and said loudly: "Pass on my order: troops set off, reach the designated positions, and open fire directly."

"Yes!"

A chorus of compliance followed, and the communications officer began issuing orders to various units.

In various places in Xiaomolong, the troops that received the orders began to move out with shouts. At this moment, the war chariot of Xiaomolong truly started to move and stepped on the gas pedal.

Subsequently, Wang Yan arranged various matters one after another.

For example, posting advertisements in the country again, posting conscription notices in Xiaomolong again, recalling previously eliminated soldiers to the camp, urgently purchasing various supplies, arranging the work of the medical system, and so on.

At the same time, he also arranged for the public security and stability work in Xiaomolong; this is the top priority. Only when Xiaomolong is stable can the war on the front lines be fought well.

Fighting a war is comprehensive, requiring close cooperation between various departments.

The better the cooperation, the fiercer the fighting. If there is internal sabotage and money-grubbing at this time, then obviously there is no hope.

Therefore, although Wang Yan had enormous prestige, he still did not go to the front lines to command, but sat in the rear to coordinate remotely, ensuring the safety and stability of his base...

Suffering the attack, including the end of the interrogation, learning that the tour group could not return, various mobilizations, and so on—this series of events took place, and by the time the troops were finally sent out, it wasn't even noon.

Of course, this couldn't hide his movements, and Wang Yan didn't intend to hide them. After all, it was certain that Luan Basong was aware of it and must have made preparations; sneaking around to mobilize troops for a sneak attack was basically useless. It was better to drive over in plain sight and kill him with real blades and guns.

At noon, Wang Yan ate lunch at the headquarters; he would be here for a considerable period in the future.

At this moment, the phone placed by his hand rang.

He glanced at the number, picked up the phone, and connected the call.

"Mr. Wang, I heard that the Xiaomolong government army is moving south. Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

"I was assassinated this morning, and you, old boy, don't know about it?" Wang Yan smiled, his words full of mockery.

"I just received the news too, Mr. Wang. This was definitely not instigated by me. After all, you and I have been cooperating happily and making a lot of money; there's no need for this."

"It was you who did it. Hurry up and mobilize your troops. Whatever you have to say, we'll talk when we meet."

Wang Yan said, "Also, I'll remind you: treat those people in the tour group with good food and drink. I guarantee I won't make you suffer when we meet. You had people shoot at people before; that was a warning, and I can understand it, but if there are any more bad things, that won't be justifiable. You understand the key to this. Don't get high on drugs and do something stupid. That's all."

Without any more nonsense, Wang Yan hung up the phone decisively.

After a while, before Wang Yan had eaten a few mouthfuls of food, the phone rang again.

Wang Yan looked at the caller ID, raised his eyebrows, connected, and said with a smile: "President Chen, why are you calling me again? Are you afraid I won't remember you?"

"Mr. Wang, what are you saying? The misunderstanding between us was cleared up long ago." Chen Hao said, "Mr. Wang, I really didn't know about today's incident."

"I believe you. As an old friend, Old Chen, I suggest you run abroad right now; that way you might live a little longer."

"Oh my, Mr. Wang, why don't you believe me? I really don't know about these things. Let me tell you secretly: recently, some foreigners have been in contact with Luan Basong, which is why these things happened. I don't even have the qualifications to participate in the specifics. Mr. Wang, in the end, I'm just a businessman; the gun isn't in my hands."

"Do you think I can win? Then your confidence in Luan Basong is also insufficient; he has foreign devils supporting him."

"Mr. Wang, I just don't want any misunderstandings. After all, with your ability, even if this war is lost, you can definitely make a comeback. The power you have today was all built with your bare hands."

"Understood, don't offend anyone, right? It's not that you're afraid I'll win, but that you're afraid I'll be hard to lose to, right?"

"I firmly believe in your ability."

"Can you manage to spy on military intelligence?"

"Mr. Wang, you are..."

Wang Yan smiled, interrupted him, and said: "Then you listen to me: run quickly, run as far as you can, try to live a little longer, and hide your illegitimate children and such well; don't let the bloodline break. Let's talk again after I kill Luan Basong, Old Chen."

Having said that, he hung up the phone decisively and continued to eat and drink.

Chen Hao still hadn't positioned himself correctly; he always wanted to be a fence-sitter without a firm stance. The world isn't black and white, but stances are. Just as the Instructor said, who are our friends and who are our enemies is the primary question of revolution.

Usually, fence-sitting can be profitable and carefree; that has its value. Now that it's for real, whoever sits on the fence dies; everyone is within the scope of liquidation.

Luan Basong was indeed prepared, yet his preparations were ultimately insufficient.

He didn't dare to make too big a move because he would be discovered by Wang Yan's people. But he didn't have big moves or fully sufficient preparations, and his troops were not like the troops of Xiaomolong, which responded quickly to organization before battle.

This isn't a problem of soldier quality or combat, but a problem of the entire military's operational system. Xiaomolong's troops could assemble at any time and fight at any time; Luan Basong's couldn't.

If you can't, you'll suffer.

That afternoon, an encounter battle broke out between the forward units of both sides.

Xiaomolong took the initiative to launch an attack. The battle lasted for two hours, and an enemy regiment was defeated head-on. And the troops Xiaomolong dispatched were just a reinforced battalion of less than a thousand people, and their own losses were not great.

It directly became a sharp blade, stabbing fiercely into Luan Basong's defensive deployment, charging and crashing in the front.

At the same time, Xiaomolong's other troops also followed up quickly, providing support to this sharp blade and assisting it in splitting the battlefield, forming a situation of many against few locally, and fighting an annihilation battle.

Actually, if you really talk about it, what Wang Yan is best at and likes most is building strong fortifications and fighting dull battles. This isn't entirely correct, because he only fights dull battles and doesn't build fortifications.

That is, no defense, only offense.

Using strong national power, strong war mobilization ability, and logistical supply ability to grandly crush the opponent and output directly to their face. No matter what conspiracies and tricks the enemy has, he moves forward courageously, breaks them with force, and clears away all obstacles.

He advances steadily, the enemy has to shrink steadily, and he naturally doesn't need to build fortifications for defense. The best defense is offense; under this war philosophy of his, it is manifested vividly.

However, that doesn't mean he doesn't have other means. In fact, whenever he was asked to lead troops to fight, he started out by taking all kinds of risks. Only after first occupying a stable territory did he have the opportunity to develop national power and expand steadily.

He is a commander with unparalleled temple calculations, and also a wise general who adapts to changes on the battlefield.

Even if there were all kinds of foreign devil advisors helping behind Luan Basong, it wouldn't be of much use in front of him. Moreover, the ones executing the tactics were still a bunch of rabble here in Sanbianpo, which was indeed not worth worrying about.

Last time fighting Luoyang, because Luan Basong participated, and Wang Yan intended to train his troops, he didn't conduct too much command. It was only in the general strategy and key nodes that he avoided being completely defeated, and only then did he perform micro-management and troop movements.

This time, it was a one-on-one with Luan Basong, and he also had to guard against the remnants of Banlong and Sangkang, so Wang Yan was quite serious from the beginning and would remain so until the war ended.

His seriousness manifested in the progress of the war: Luan Basong, who had over 30,000 troops, American equipment, and foreign devil advisors, was led around like a dog by Wang Yan, who mobilized over 5,000 people, and from time to time fought some annihilation battles, having no power to fight back at all.

Of course, the 5,000-plus people from Xiaomolong were constantly replenishing new recruits. The actual casualty figures were not small, but the casualties caused to Luan Basong were definitely doubled.

After only half a month of fighting like this, Luan Basong actually had a feeling of being precarious...
