Chapter 1063: No Worse and the Competition

No Worse and the Competition

Regarding the plan Lan submitted to Congress for the dismemberment of all of Lapa, some senators used a single word to describe it—

A high-precision surgical operation. With almost no superfluous measures, Lapa was carved into a pile of fragments, then properly placed on a tray, left for people to admire, watch, and appraise.

Once the negotiations for this period are fully concluded, the federal government will, in a practical sense, completely take over Lapa, though to the outside world, Lapa will still maintain its independence.

Ten years later, twenty years later, the awakened masses of Lapa will stand up, and some active social activists will search for evidence from all aspects to prove that Lapa is also an inseparable part of the Federation!

The people of Lapa, awakened to democracy and freedom, will demand a national referendum to decide whether they are, after all, Lapa people or Federal people.

It can be said that not a single bit of military deterrence was used; there were no gunshots or cannon fire, and everything passed in tranquility. This is an operation that can be called "art."

To ensure the interests of Lan himself and the federal government, the Lapa government will not retain too much power.

Of course, nominally, they are now authorizing the officials who have come from the Federation; they are only responsible for supervision and taking it back when necessary.

However, everyone understands that this is just a way to fob off "outsiders," much like when your girlfriend asks you if she is pretty, and how she compares to those beautiful little vixens.

You say she is pretty, but it is definitely not because she is truly that pretty.

Lan did not speak too specifically with these three ambassadors; he only told them that if they wanted to defect to the Federation's side, they had to be prepared to hand over all power into the hands of the Federation.

And they, these privileged classes, officials, and capitalists, will always be ahead of others during the process of their country undergoing massive changes.

Regardless of opportunities or anything else, these people will still be as prominent as ever, and living much more comfortably than they are now! However, these words were still not very easy to move them, and besides, they could not make the decisions.

In the evening, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at Ambassador Kasiya's home, but Lan could see that some people were clearly somewhat absent-minded.

So, not long after finishing the meal, he took the initiative to leave.

As he was leaving, the Ambassador of Makan took the initiative to walk over, standing by Lan's car, bending his waist and sticking out his backside, looking at Lan who was already sitting in the car, "Mr. Lan, our President is very interested in... joining the big family of the Federation."

"And these conditions you mentioned, I don't think they are excessive. Can we find a time to talk about it more deeply?"

Makan was eager to defect to the Federation because they were right next to the Republic of Jiede.

If it weren't for the suddenly erupted war and the Federation revealing its intention to get its hands on the land of Xiang Yalan, perhaps the Republic of Jiede would already be in the process of annexing Makan.

It is precisely because the relationship between the Federation and the Xiang Yalan region has become tense that Makan has not yet been invaded by the Republic of Jiede.

In this world, there are not that many absolute things. It is possible that the Great President of the Republic of Jiede symbolizes revival and greatness to their own people.

But to the countries living around them, this is a ruler full of danger, and they have the possibility of being annexed at any time, anywhere.

Compared to being annexed by the Republic of Jiede, they would rather defect to the Federation; at least the Federation will help them develop their economy or something else, while the Republic of Jiede will only have endless demands and plunder.

Lan nodded slightly, took out a business card, and handed it over, "This is the phone number for the Senator's secretary's office. You can call this number and then explain the situation. The Senator will arrange for someone to contact you."

The Ambassador of Makan was somewhat surprised, "Aren't you... responsible for these matters for us?"

A bit more of a smile appeared on Lan's face, "Sorry, I am not responsible for the situation in Makan, but if you encounter any problems, after there is no result on the Senator's side, you can talk to me."

"As long as I feel that your stance and purpose are not problematic, I will find a way to help you communicate with the Senator."

The Ambassador thought for a moment, took the small card from his hand, and stepped back two paces, "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Lan. I wish you a pleasant evening."

Lan nodded again to signal, then rolled up the car window, and the motorcade slowly left Ambassador Kasiya's villa.

When the Ambassador of Makan returned to the room, the other two were talking to Ambassador Kasiya.

They stopped talking after seeing the Ambassador of Makan come in.

One of them asked, "Have you already made a decision?"

The Ambassador of Makan nodded, "We have no other choice. The economic situation in the country is very bad now, and there is no need for me to say more about the rest."

"If nothing goes wrong, we will soon be talking to the federal government about the entrustment matter."

The ambassador who was talking to him said softly, "But this requires giving up the power in your hands and also withdrawing from the Ya Alliance."

The Ambassador of Makan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "So what?"

"Could it be any worse than it is now?"

The two looked at each other without words, only silence.

The situation in some countries is already so bad that it cannot be worse; defecting to the Federation will not make it worse, so why not give it a try? The room suddenly became quiet, with only the faint sound of their brains spinning at high speed.

Lan had originally planned to return to New Jincheng, but unexpectedly, they actually came over.

The reason they came over was that Yisen had carved out a new world of his own in the boxing ring over the past two years.

"Steel Fist" is his nickname in the boxing ring now, used to describe how terrifying the destructive power his fists possess is! Since he won the Golden Belt for the light heavyweight champion, he has now moved up to the heavyweight division, and his ranking is also very high.

He no longer needs to prove his ability to anyone to be accepted; he has already become a leader in this industry.

On May 2nd, there is a boxing match for Yisen in New Jincheng. His opponent is the 7th ranked "Skull Crusher," a very well-rounded boxer who is considered by professional evaluation agencies to have a chance to challenge for the heavyweight championship in the next three to four years.

This time, the organizer provided a total of 170,000 in appearance fees for the two people, and Yisen got 70,000.

This number could actually be a bit higher; if his coach took the initiative to ask, the sponsor would definitely not refuse.

However, Yisen did not let the coaching team ask for a price increase. After all, for the current Yisen, if he wants to fight in the ring with the 7th ranked heavyweight boxer, the other party might not agree.

Now that he can not only fight a match with the other party but also get 70,000 in money, why would he solve it?

So there was such a match. The match started warming up two weeks in advance, and at the same time, the betting company under the sponsor company also began to accept bets from all over the world.

They put up about 180,000 to 200,000 in funds to host this match, so they must obtain profits far exceeding 170,000 from it, otherwise, it would be a huge loss for them! However, they are very likely not to lose money because people are too enthusiastic, and the operations and publicity are also done very well.

The tickets for the front row at the scene have been hyped up to several hundred dollars each, and even the ordinary tickets against the wall cost several tens.

People all want to see Yisen's performance in the ring. He is different from those "soft" boxers; he is now exerting a great personal style—heavy punch exchanges.

Watching his matches always makes people's adrenaline secrete crazily, bringing the ultimate enjoyment to all the audience watching the match! Two weeks of publicity, and by the time the match started, the bets from all over the world had already exceeded 5 million, and the sponsor company could at least obtain a net profit of 1.5 million to 2 million from it.

And the closer it gets to the moment of the match, the more people place bets, and the crazier they get.

Lan certainly noticed this match in New Jincheng. Of course, it wasn't that he actively paid attention to it; it was someone who reminded him and discussed this matter with him that he knew Yisen was actually going to fight a match, and it was right in New Jincheng.

For others, tickets are hard to find, especially good seats are hard to find, but for Lan, it is a matter of a phone call.

On the evening of May 2nd, after paying for the tickets, Lan brought people to the front row seats. These were some privilege tickets specially reserved by the match organizers for emergencies.

At the same time, this is also a means of publicity. Just like almost all sports matches, the first two rows are often celebrities from all walks of life.

★★Co

As long as these celebrities have enough influence and high enough popularity, they can definitely attract a group of people who were originally uninterested in these sports to start paying attention to these sports.

When Lan sat in the front row, many people's eyes were focused on him. Some people recognized him and took the initiative to come over and greet him, but there were also some who didn't recognize him and were just curious about why he could sit so far forward.

Time quickly reached 7:45, 15 minutes before the match started, and the contestants on both sides began to enter.

The constantly flashing lights and neon made the audience's emotions start to rise, accompanied by a roar from the host, "Ladies and gentlemen, please let us welcome the hardest fist and man in boxing history, the challenger rushing to the peak, Yisen!"

Accompanied by the host pointing to the entrance passage on one side, the spotlights instantly gathered there.

Yisen, who walked out of the fighter passage wearing shorts with many trademarks, had already begun to get used to the attention and craziness of these audiences.

People on both sides of the stands kept screaming and reaching out to him. In order to get closer to their idol, these people would specially buy their tickets on both sides of the passage to get closer to their idol!

Yisen spread his hands and bumped fists with the audience on both sides of the passage, which also triggered louder screams and noise from the audience! Lan looked at Yisen's mature performance and felt somewhat gratified; at least he is successful now.

Even if one day Yisen leaves the whole family, he can still live well in the Federation, and still live a wealthy life.

As long as he can win a few golden belts and a few championship titles, he will never lack money to spend in his life.

Yisen's current team is also completely different from the past. The coach is still that coach, but there are more people following him. Now there is still some time before the match, and the coach is arranging tactical issues with Yisen below.

Listening and listening, Yisen's eyes saw Lan. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He didn't care at all what the coach was nagging about and walked directly toward Lan.

Lan also put down his crossed legs and stood up.

"Sorry, I can't hug you now. I don't want to dirty your clothes!"

Yisen's body was covered with a special kind of oil, which can play a lubricating role.

Boxing gloves themselves are relatively smooth. If you hit a body covered with this lubricating oil, as long as the angle is not very right, there will be a situation of slipping, which can also be considered a kind of opportunistic trick.

The Boxing Association certainly knows about this, but they didn't manage it much because everyone is doing this.

And the fighter's body is oiled, which can make the match look better.

Those sweats will constantly slide down the surface of the body, and at the same time, the rhythm of the muscles will be more brilliant and dazzling under the illumination of the lights, which can play a key role in promoting the positive image of the boxer.

And the role of these lubricating oils is more than that. Some boxers' lubricating oils themselves also have a certain analgesic effect, which can be regarded as a kind of anesthetic applied to the surface of the body and absorbed by the skin.

The development of sports events in the sports field is essentially a contest between cheating and anti-cheating.

These oil pastes on Yisen's body have certain analgesic ingredients. It's not that his coach wants to cheat, but everyone is doing this! However, I heard that the Boxing Alliance has begun to consider stopping the use of oil pastes with analgesic ingredients, which may also be a good thing.

Lan smiled and bumped fists with him, "How is it, how many minutes to finish him off?"

At this time, his opponent was also walking in from the passage on the other side, and his molecules were also plunged into crazy screams, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became hot.

Skull Crusher looks very strong, and he is also a very typical old Federal person.

Wide frame, large build, the look in his eyes when looking at people is somewhat cold.

Yisen glanced at Skull Crusher sideways, grinned, and revealed white teeth, "Within three rounds, I will finish him off!"

The coach walked over at this time, "You have to go on stage."

Yisen frowned, but soon relaxed again, "You wait for me a while. After I finish the match, we will have a good talk. I haven't seen you for a while. Aierwen said you are all very busy!"

Lan nodded, "Yes, very busy. Let's talk after your match ends."

Yisen quickly returned to the ring. Out of politeness, he also bumped fists with the other party, and then returned to his corner.

The coach repeatedly urged him on how to fight the tactics, and also let him repeat it once, until the coach confirmed that he really remembered it before letting him go.

For this match, they watched the videos of most of the other party's matches after moving up to the heavyweight division, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses.

However, with Yisen's style, he is very likely not to execute his tactical arrangements.

Accompanied by the host reading all the content, the referee came to the stage, signaling the contestants on both sides to leave the corner.

Immediately after, the bell rang, and the first round began! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 1064 =====
