Chapter 1123

"The world is not safe, Bruny."

Lansi shared one of his cigarettes with Major General Bruny. "We face new challenges anytime and anywhere. Soldiers can retire, but they cannot put down the weapons in their hands."

Major General Bruny was stunned for a moment. "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Lansi explained, "Although the war is over, the friction between countries has not ended. Between two countries, or between multiple countries, between regions—these armed frictions caused by conflicts of interest will always exist."

"Interest is the eternal essence between countries. As long as there is profit, there will be people who pay. Everyone longs to get more instead of paying more, which determines that there cannot really be peace internationally."

"The probability of a comprehensive war in the future will decrease, but the possibility of local wars will become more."

"When the contradictions and differences between countries are irreconcilable, local wars and proxy wars will become the best way out."

"They have contradictions between them, so will they have the same contradictions with us?"

"The attitude of the three northern countries towards us has undergone huge changes. Next, the maintenance of social security in the Yalan region—these are all new challenges."

"Soldiers can temporarily return home, but they cannot put down their weapons. A security company is a very good cooperation project."

"We can let soldiers continue to maintain their style and training in the army. When needed, they only need to change into some clothes, and they can change from security guards to warriors."

Major General Bruny was so excited that he forgot to smoke. He looked at Lansi as if he saw a treasure, his eyes shining.

"What you said is so right!", he had some movements to strengthen his context, and the amplitude of the movements made the ash fall, and only then did he think of the cigarette in his hand.

He took a puff and began to have more interest. "This is a very good idea. It saves military spending and at the same time ensures that our combat effectiveness will not decay too much."

"You are really a genius, Lansi!"

He seemed to be very excited. In fact, there are also some interest relationships here. He has already associated more things.

"You just said that your company plans to use it in the Slade region to protect the safety and interests of federal enterprises and workers?"

"Can I understand that this is a mercenary company?"

Lansi nodded, not denying it. "This is just a way of saying it. You can give us more titles, but in essence, it will not change."

"We take money, solve the employment problem of veterans, and at the same time protect the safety of federal enterprises and workers abroad."

Many thoughts collided in Major General Bruny's head. He followed Lansi's words and continued, "And you have the identity of an enterprise, not a country or the military. You are not so sensitive politically, and people from other countries will not be so sensitive to you."

"You have opened up a new project and track, Lansi!"

Lansi smiled and didn't speak. Of course, he knew what he was saying and what he was doing.

More sparks collided by thoughts formed in Major General Bruny's head. He already had a draft of a report. He would send this report to the Department of Defense and Congress. Perhaps this will become the key to his promotion to lieutenant general.

The war is over, and the military generals have been promoted, but only a few in the Department of Defense have been promoted. After all, they are civilian soldiers, more like politicians in military uniforms.

If they are promoted in large numbers, the military side will have great opinions. The military and the Department of Defense are both military systems, but there are still small contradictions between the two sides.

Major General Bruny also wants to turn his "major general" into "lieutenant general," so that the power in his hands will become greater, and he will have more opportunities and benefits.

He was thinking in his head how to write this report and how to convince those people to accept his ideas.

At the same time, several cars had followed Lansi's motorcade. Madore looked back at Lansi, his movement amplitude was very small, and Major General Bruny couldn't find it.

He conveyed a message to Lansi through his eyes: those people have followed.

Major General Bruny had been talking to Lansi about some ideas about "contractors." If the Department of Defense contracted some national defense work to enterprises like Lansi, then the Department of Defense could not only get kickbacks but also save a large sum of money.

For example, they fake a military operation, which is ten million federal sols. They will contract out this military operation at a price of eight million, and the contractor will return hundreds of thousands to them, so they can openly keep 20% to 30% of the military expenditure.

At the same time, they can well complete this military operation. If they can't complete it, they don't need to bear any too serious consequences themselves, nothing more than changing a military contractor.

There are too many places to get profits here. He believes that the generals of the Department of Defense will be interested in his idea.

While discussing these problems, a car suddenly rushed out from the side of the motorcade. Its movement was very large, and it almost touched Lansi's car.

When the car body made a slight avoidance, it shook, almost causing Major General Bruny to hit the door panel. "Egg!"

"What happened?"

Before he finished speaking, two people poked out from the right window of the car that rushed out. They threw something in their hands onto the car window.

The car window was instantly blurred, unable to see everything in front, and the vehicle had to stop.

Immediately after, a fierce battle broke out around. The car windows were all blurred, and they didn't know what happened outside at all.

Lansi sat steadily. He pulled out a submachine gun from under the seat and looked at Major General Bruny, who was a bit flustered. "Do you know how to use it?"

Major General Bruny glanced at the submachine gun in his hand and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "I know how to use it."

He also practiced shooting. He could hit two or three shots out of ten at a twenty-meter target. He is a major general, he is not a warrior, not a soldier, he doesn't need to go to the battlefield, go to the front line, he doesn't need to have any superb shooting skills at all.

He is just a politician in military uniform.

At this moment, he felt fear.

But fortunately, Lansi's calmness made his emotions not so flustered.

"What happened?", he asked.

There was a slight tremor in his voice.

Lansi had a cigarette in his mouth and pulled the bolt. "Maybe someone doesn't want me to live."

When he saw Lansi say these words lightly, he was a bit unbelievable, and even a bit speechless. "You... don't you think this is very shocking?"

Lansi smiled. "After you've been assassinated a few more times, you'll get used to it."

"Fuck, I don't want to get used to it!"

The whole car seemed to start to become hot, and thick smoke came out of the ventilation holes. Madore asked the driver to close the air duct immediately. "Boss, they set a fire."

If you don't use explosives or large-caliber weapons in this period, the bulletproof car is a problem that cannot be solved at all.

In a city like New Jincheng, which is not the capital but more important than the capital, use large-caliber weapons and explosives? Bob's brain hasn't been bad enough to do such crazy things, so they chose to burn, letting the people in the car be unable to bear the high temperature, and then take the initiative to come out.

In this way, the heavy defense of the bulletproof car will not play any role.

However, since Lansi already knew their plan, how could he not pay attention to these?

In fact, not far away, there have been some Lansi family members following. They are the people who ensure that the problem is solved at the first time after Lansi is attacked.

The exchange of fire outside broke out very quickly and very fiercely, but the speed of calming down was also very fast. In just two or three minutes, the temperature in the car had risen to the point where it was a bit unbearable.

Lansi glanced at Major General Bruny. "I will open the door later, and then we will rush out together."

Major General Bruny clenched the weapon in his hand tightly. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and nodded.

After Lansi finished counting down, he kicked open the car door that had been unlocked. The fire had actually extinguished quite a bit, and the exchange of fire on the street had also come to an end. After Major General Bruny drilled out, he looked at Lansi holding a submachine gun and firing wildly at some people. He also gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger at those who might be attackers.

I don't know why, at the moment of pulling the trigger, the vibration of the gun body passed to his hand, which actually dispelled the unease and fear in his heart.

His body, which was a bit hunched because of fear, also stood upright, and he even started swearing.

If the bullets in the magazine hadn't been shot so quickly, maybe his emotions would have exploded better.

Fortunately, Madore very considerately replenished his bullets, which made Major General Bruny play very happily.

Not every soldier has the opportunity to shoot at a real living target.

Watching those people retreat and fall down in the shooting, Major General Bruny seemed to be... ironed out at this moment.

His soul was ironed out!

Lansi walked to a guy who was injured and fell to the ground, shot all the bullets at his head, and then handed the submachine gun in his hand to the combat captain in the family.

In such a short time, the police sirens sounded all around. The performance of the federal police is as stable as ever, appearing forever after the shootout.

Lansi asked Major General Bruny to give the weapon to others, and the two stood together.

Major General Bruny also noticed some abnormalities. Now he feels that his thinking ability is unprecedentedly strong.

"The police came too fast.", he looked at those police officers who came from far to near and had already set up a formation, pointing their weapons at them, and lit a cigarette again.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at those police officers, not knowing whether it was because he was smoked by the cigarette smoke, or because he had other concerns and didn't want people to see his eyes.

As a standard "native" of New Jincheng, he has lived here for more than twenty years, and he knows the police's response speed very well.

They need at least ten minutes to come from the nearest precinct, but these people, in less than five minutes, appeared so many police officers, which can only explain one thing.

These police officers are actually not far away. They might have known that these things would happen, so they have been waiting.

Waiting for the occurrence of things, and then rushing out.

Major General Bruny glanced at Lansi. "You offended someone."

Lansi smiled and spread his hands. "I offended more than one person."

It seemed to answer something, and it seemed to answer nothing.

A deputy director at the scene shouted loudly through a loudspeaker, "Drop your weapons immediately and lie on the ground."

"Repeat, drop your weapons immediately and lie on the ground, otherwise we will shoot."

At this time, the police chief is actually here, but he didn't show up. He sat in a very ordinary police car, watching everything that happened in front of him.

Roland told him that today the Perez family would attack Lansi's people here, and they would definitely break out into a fierce shootout.

Then let the police chief catch them all. A shootout in the urban area of New Jincheng is a very serious matter. Even if Lansi has a deep background, he will have to peel off a layer of skin if he wants to leave safely.

And his behavior will make him a target of public criticism.

Even if this matter can't fix Lansi—of course, Director Roland didn't consider being able to fix Lansi—but at least it can make Lansi lose many intangible things.

Dealing with these guys with backgrounds has to be like this: cut off their protective outer clothing little by little, finally reveal the fragile core inside, and then cut it off with one knife.

The local police station infinitely cooperated with Roland's decision. After all, the relationship between Lansi and the local police station has never been good, and there are relatively large contradictions between each other.

Seeing the success of the plan at this time, the police chief's face showed some smiles. These guys standing on the road with guns are obviously typical "bandits."

He only thought of these, but in fact, this matter is not just these. Behind it, there are more things in operation.

For example, Mr. Potter is also paying attention to this matter at this time. He intends to use this shootout that happened in the urban area of New Jincheng as a typical example in his election propaganda.

He will tell the public that he wants to eradicate the recurrence of these things, to show his attitude towards de-gangsterization.

Then naturally, Lansi, who was pushed to the forefront in public opinion, will definitely be abandoned by some people.

Even if not abandoned, he will not be as important as before, and it can also strike the arrogance of Senator Cleveland's side.

Any matter, even if it is just a small matter, as long as it is related to politics, it will not be a small matter.

But what they don't know is that this time, it was not just Lansi who was attacked, but also Major General Bruny.

A popular major general of the Department of Defense and a gang leader riding in the same car? And Lansi just gave Major General Bruny a good idea?

Just one more person, a "key clue," and some of the backhands they prepared might not be able to be launched.

Looking at more and more police officers, Major General Bruny's expression also became uglier and uglier. If he lies down now, his future in the Department of Defense will be completely finished! Even if he has people behind him, those people will not allow a person who has lost a big face and become a laughing stock to walk to a higher position.

He just stood there, looking at these police officers, and no one knew what thoughts he had in his heart.

Of course, his expression looking at Lansi is also a bit wrong. He feels that he might have been used, but what exactly is going on, he needs more intelligence.

He walked towards those police officers. Although he had no weapons in his hands, the police officers were still a bit nervous.

So he didn't walk too close, just walked to a distance where they could talk. "Are you the person in charge here?"

He looked at the deputy director before. The deputy director listened to Major General Bruny's inquiry, feeling the attitude on him, and his scalp felt a bit numb.

He is too familiar with this tone! This is the tone that only big figures have. He bit the bullet and nodded, resisting the idea of looking back at the vehicle where the director was.

"Yes, I am the person in charge of the scene."

Major General Bruny's gaze pierced his face like a knife. "I am Major General Bruny of the Department of Defense. Now I am going to take out my certificate."

As he said this, he slowly took out a certificate from his upper pocket, signaling a police officer to come over. "I need an explanation."

The deputy director suddenly wanted to pee, but he knew he couldn't leave now. He could only let a police officer come and take the certificate.

Looking at the certificate, it was not exquisite, and even a bit sloppy in production, so he knew that this thing was real.

Because fake certificates are a bit more exquisite than real ones.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "I need to call to verify."

Major General Bruny nodded, and then he left here and came to the telephone booth.

Soon the Department of Defense gave him a clear answer. There is indeed a Major General Bruny, in office, and various descriptions are correct.

His heart kept sinking. Although he didn't know why the director knew Lansi would be attacked here, he knew that this matter had become big.

At this time, the director also realized that something was wrong. A shootout between gangs is one thing, but a gang attacking federal officials, and it's still a major general of the Department of Defense—this is another thing.

He also couldn't sit still. He told the deputy director how to deal with it, and then immediately left the car, ran to the telephone booth next to it, and dialed the phone to Roland.

"Have the people been caught?", Roland's voice was relaxed. This is the only ending he could think of.

But the next words of the police chief made him silent.

"You didn't tell me that there was a major general of the Department of Defense in Lansi's car!"

"Fuck, now the problem is big, do you understand?"

Roland also felt his scalp numb. "Major General of the Department of Defense?"

"I don't fucking know!"

He stood up all of a sudden and walked back and forth a few steps. "First... first handle it according to the normal process. This is a normal police dispatch, do you understand what I mean?"

The police chief hung up the phone while cursing. Not handling it according to the normal process, do they still dare to take measures against the major general of the Department of Defense?

It's really a scourge! This matter soon spread, and almost all big figures knew about this matter.
