Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Chapter 532 Asking for advice



Chapter 532 Asking for advice

Li Dongfang nodded. It seemed that Annan’s history had not changed because of his actions in Curry. After thinking for a while, he said, “The Americans are using the Peninsula trick again. It seems that this is all they can do.”

Mr. Zheng said playfully, "Oh, what do you mean?"

Li Dongfang curled his lips and said, "They were beaten to a pulp by us on the peninsula, and they are not convinced. They want to plant more spies around us. Even if they can't do anything to us, they can at least disgust us."

"So, according to you, how should we deal with it?"

Li Dongfang smiled mysteriously and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Americans' covert actions will hardly make the planned progress. The Annan monkeys are not fools. As a vassal state of our Chinese dynasties, they have rich experience in dealing with covert power grabs. In this case, the Americans will one day be unable to resist using force. When that happens, Annan will be unable to resist and will definitely ask for help from their former suzerain, that is, us. This will give us more room for maneuver."

This immediately aroused the interest of Mr. Zheng, who couldn't help but sit up straight and continue to ask: "You continue to tell the story, how do you do it?"

Li Dongfang chuckled and said, "Hehe. That depends on what you and the other big guys above think. I guess it will be unconditional help, but..." Li Dongfang couldn't help but curled his lips and stopped talking.

Mr. Zheng frowned and asked, "Are you so sure?"

Li Dongfang pursed his lips and said, "This is obvious. If I hadn't disobeyed orders... I lost contact with the headquarters and would have been forced to withdraw from Curry. This shows what the decision-makers are thinking now. They are only thinking about international reputation." Li Dongfang curled his lips in disgust.

Mr. Zheng must have known about this, and it was indeed the case. Even if the entire territory of Curry was occupied, there were still people who suggested that the troops withdraw completely and return the territory to Curry.

Mr. Zheng also holds an opposing opinion on this point, but Mr. Zheng is not in a position to have the final say now. In the end, if the Americans had not suddenly kept silent on the international stage, Curry’s territory might really be returned to him.

"So, according to your idea, how should we deal with it?"

"In my opinion, what international reputation is all bullshit. Does the United States have a good international reputation? Isn't it because they have strong ships and powerful guns, and their voices are loud, and no one dares to ignore what they say? In my opinion, what's the most important thing is to get benefits, and the truth is only within the range of the cannon, this is not just talk."

After taking a sip of water, Li Dongfang continued, "The people in Annan are not good people either. Throughout history, when we were strong, they surrendered to us. Once we were weak, they would turn hostile and even use military force against us. So, I would say that we can help, but the territory we occupy must belong to us. Otherwise, why should we spend money and manpower to help them fight?! Just because they say a few nice words, why?!"

As a well-known hardliner, these words suited Mr. Zheng's taste very well, and he couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's the plan?"

??? Is this a question for advice? Li Dongfang felt it was a bit magical. Was there a time when he was asked for advice by this person?

He quickly started thinking and said, "I think that we should wait and see what happens officially, neither support nor help, and let the Americans do what they want. We will secretly send people to support the local resistance forces and win over the people's hearts. When the time is right, Annan will send people to ask for help, and we will send troops to help. After driving the Americans away, Annan will ask us to station troops for protection, or even directly include Annan in the territory. Isn't that what we have the final say?! If that doesn't work, Annan attacks our troops... We will counterattack in self-defense, but it is not impossible that we accidentally counterattack their entire territory, right!"

"Hiss! You are so vicious!" Old Zheng rolled his eyes at Li Dongfang. He didn't care about his image at all.

Li Dongfang curled his lips and said, "Well, Mr. Zheng, don't tell me that you don't understand that being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself. Do you believe that if we unconditionally help Annan to drive away the Americans, they will immediately turn their guns on us? There are precedents in history for this. As the saying goes, those who are not of our race must have different hearts. In this case, we can only turn them into a minority of ours. Isn't this good for everyone?"

Mr. Zheng looked at Li Dongfang and said, "You are such a bold person!"

Li Dongfang chuckled and said, "Didn't Mr. Zheng ask this? Besides, the world is in a mess right now. Why not expand the territory now? When peacetime comes, there will be no such opportunity."

Mr. Zheng tapped his fingers on the table slowly, frowning and saying, "If this happens, won't we become a bully in the international community?"

Li Dongfang said indifferently: "Looking back at history, every powerful dynasty on our land was won through fighting. Only when you have deterrence can you have the right to speak. Helping other countries for free will only make people take advantage of you!"

Seeing Mr. Zheng thinking, Li Dongfang couldn't help but remind him: "The domestic situation now actually worries me more than the international situation. I'm sure you know the story after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne."

Li Dongfang knew how many people were persecuted during the storm. Just take the military bosses for example, basically none of them escaped, let alone others. Those ten years almost broke the backbone of China. Fortunately, China survived, but it was also severely damaged and the losses were immeasurable.

Old Zheng frowned when he heard this. Obviously, he had noticed something, but he didn't dare to think about it that way. Now he was shocked by Li Dongfang's reminder. Even Li Dongfang noticed it, so he had to be vigilant. It seemed that he had to hang out more with his old brothers and not wait to be killed.

Li Dongfang said what he should say and did what he should do, and then he simply said goodbye to Mr. Zheng.

After the conversation, Mr. Zheng had a lot to digest and did not keep Li Dongfang for long. He just patted Li Dongfang on the shoulder to express his appreciation when he left.

After leaving the military, Li Dongfang felt a little heavy-hearted, thinking about the well-known leaders who were persecuted one by one during the storm, and the development of all walks of life almost stagnated. It took ten years, and these ten years made China suffer decades more. If possible, he hoped to eliminate this storm invisibly.

But all this requires the participation of people who have access to the top levels. Otherwise, Li Dongfang won’t even be able to figure out his goal, and having invincible military force will be useless.

Forget it, don't think about it anymore. There are still more than three years left, so just take it slow. If it doesn't work, just blow up those leaders, kill them all, including Marshal Lin and the four-man gang. Whoever shows up will be killed, they are all parasites anyway!

Li Dongfang was so angry that his teeth were itching!

Life has to go on before then, let’s not think about it today, the real thing is to enjoy life.
