Chapter 485

Shenghai Building.

Han Qiangzhi proposed his intention to Ni Yongyao to take a step further.

In fact, before Ni Yongyao appeared, although Han Qiangzhi was also an ambitious person, he had never thought about becoming president; it wasn't that he wasn't interested in that position, but that he had self-knowledge.

Han Qiangzhi had offended too many chaebols along the way; in such a situation, running for president was almost impossible, so Han Qiangzhi's greatest ambition before was to sit firmly in his current position and continue to control the prosecutor forces.

But all this changed after cooperating with Ni Yongyao; after witnessing Ni Yongyao's strength, Han Qiangzhi's ambition also expanded step by step.

Han Qiangzhi knew very well that what Ni Yongyao wanted was complete control of the peninsula, and to achieve this, he needed his own people to reach the position of president.

"The presidency is not a problem; you can take the position whenever you want."

Ni Yongyao said blandly.

The peninsula presidency itself was a high-risk profession; almost none of the past presidents had lived out their later years in peace, and with Ni Yongyao here, the risk was directly increased to the term of office.

Ni Yongyao had already resolved the previous president, so naturally, he didn't mind resolving the current president to clear the position for Han Qiangzhi.

In any case, doing this wasn't much effort; it was nothing more than a matter of Wesley firing a shot.

With the security measures at the Blue House, they couldn't stop a shot from Wesley from over ten kilometers away.

"Many thanks, Mr. Ni."

Seeing Ni Yongyao nod, a smile immediately appeared on Han Qiangzhi's face; this meant that his appointment as president was already a done deal.

"After you go up, I think you should know what to do."

Ni Yongyao puffed on his cigar and said.

"Mr. Ni, rest assured, I know what to do; Ni's Capital will be the only chaebol on the peninsula."

Han Qiangzhi said without hesitation; he knew very well that even if he became president, he had to give the green light to Ni's Capital, and this was also the reason Ni Yongyao supported him.

"Very good."

Ni Yongyao nodded slightly.

At the same time.

The news that the major chaebol manors had been stormed by rioting crowds, resulting in heavy casualties, had already spread across the peninsula, which was almost equivalent to triggering an eight-magnitude earthquake in everyone's hearts.

For a long time, the major chaebols led by the Lee family had stood tall on the peninsula, even making many peninsula people accustomed to a life of being exploited by chaebols, believing that this was something one had to experience in life and that chaebols could not be overthrown.

Now that the major chaebols had been wiped out overnight, it immediately caused a huge uproar; some called the rioting crowds murderers, but more people regarded them as heroes who overthrew the chaebol rule.

And under the extensive hype of the media, this voice was gradually accepted by everyone.

This was naturally also Ni Yongyao's handiwork, intended to pass a final death sentence on all the chaebols.

At this time, at the Blue House, the peninsula high command was also in a mess; no one had expected that such a major change would happen overnight.

Unlike ordinary citizens, the people at the Blue House knew very well the real reason for the fall of the group of chaebols; they all knew that there was a mastermind behind the rioting crowds, pointing directly at Ni's Capital.

It was just that knowing was one thing, but no one made a decision targeting Ni's Capital; after all, the North and South Peninsulas were still in a state of war, and they relied entirely on the armaments provided by Black Steel Industry to resist the North Peninsula's offensive.

If they lost Black Steel Industry, the North Peninsula's army would drive straight in and invade the hinterland of the South Peninsula, a situation no one wanted to see.

Therefore, in the end, the blame for the major chaebol incident was still pinned on the "North Peninsula."

The US.

Lockheed Martin headquarters.

"Latest news: riots broke out on the peninsula last night, and the crowds stormed the chaebol manors, killing our partners."

CEO Karp said with a gloomy face, as if his son had died.

In fact, Karp's feelings at this time were indeed so; the peninsula chaebols had always been obedient to their requests, bringing huge profits to Lockheed and other US companies, and the two sides had long been as close as father and son.

"After investigation, the peninsula side claims it is a conspiracy by the 'North Peninsula'."

Karp said.

"Bullshit, such lies can only fool those foolish masses."

Leonard snorted coldly and said: "I could guess with my toes that the one inciting the crowds must be that guy Ni Yongyao."

Mentioning the three words "Ni Yongyao," the expressions of all the Lockheed executives in the conference room turned ugly; since the rise of Black Steel Industry, the name Ni Yongyao had appeared more and more frequently in meetings, but every time it was mentioned, it was never good news.

"With the chaebols dead, the plans we previously laid out and the elite squads are of no use."

Karp said.

"But we cannot let the situation deteriorate further, otherwise the interests on the peninsula in the future will be pocketed by Ni's Capital."

Leonard said.

These words were agreed upon by the others present, all believing that action must be taken against Ni's Capital, as no one wanted to give up their interests on the peninsula.

"Before that, I think we should end this damn war first."

Karp decided.

At the same time, similar meetings were being held within multiple large US companies; the common point of these companies was that they all had huge interests on the peninsula, and the fall of the group of chaebols was an unbearable loss for them.

And then, under the promotion of these large companies, the US passed a resolution to intervene in the North-South Peninsula war.

Immediately afterward, the order reached the ears of the general at the US military base on the peninsula.

The US bases on the peninsula immediately mobilized, and a large number of soldiers, accompanied by tanks, armed helicopters, and low-altitude attack aircraft, entered the battlefield.

The US had deployed multiple bases on the peninsula, with a total of nearly forty thousand soldiers stationed, mostly army-based, with only eight thousand in the air force, and as for the navy, they had symbolically arranged a few hundred people, which could almost be ignored.

The first batch of fifteen thousand troops rushed to the battlefield at the fastest speed.

The originally deadlocked situation was immediately broken because of the US military's entry; the North Peninsula had originally lacked high-end weapons and relied entirely on soldier quality to maintain a stalemate with the South Peninsula, but now, due to the sudden entry of the US military, the situation immediately deteriorated.

The US military, whether in equipment or soldier quality, was incomparable to the North or South Peninsula, almost crushing the North Peninsula army in a crushing posture, then rapidly advancing the front line, forcibly taking back the territory the North Peninsula had taken since the start of the war, and even advancing toward the North Peninsula.

Seeing this war situation, whether it was the general at the US military base or the executives of Lockheed and other companies, they all believed that this war would end soon.

Even the North Peninsula side had to admit this fact and prepared for a fight to the death.
