Chapter 1416: Chapter 749: Military’s Plea for Help
“Mr. Liang, are we going to make a move on Linjiang?” Shi Haizhu asked.
Liang Yuan slightly shook his head, “It’s not us making the move.”
Everyone was stunned, somewhat surprised, and didn’t understand what Liang Yuan meant.
If we don’t take action, will the other party come over voluntarily?
Zhuang Shuyuan quickly reacted and instantly understood Liang Yuan’s meaning.
Her beautiful eyes lit up, “Mr. Liang means to use a borrowed knife to kill?”
Everyone heard this and began to contemplate.
Use a borrowed knife to kill?
Whose knife?
Before everyone could figure it out, Liang Yuan smiled and said, “You can’t really say that. The military has already offended Mengya Company. At most, we’re just sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight. It doesn’t quite count as using a borrowed knife to kill.”
Everyone then understood who the knife referred to.
It turns out to mean Mengya Company.
Ding Yan said, “This is a good plan. Let the military and Mengya Company fight like dogs, and after they both lose, we can make our move and truly unify Linjiang City.”
“By then, our Yangshan will be the largest shelter in Linjiang City.”
Li Hanzhong hesitated for a moment, and said, “Mr. Liang, why don’t we directly take the military’s territory? If we really let Mengya Company and the military fight each other, then many people will die.”
Speaking to this point, he was somewhat reluctant.
Now, with tight population resources, Yangshan’s territory is increasing, needing more population for development in the future.
So Li Hanzhong feels that the people on the military side are also precious resources.
Liang Yuan heard this and sighed, “Professor Li, I’ve considered what you’re saying.”
“But the human heart is difficult to fathom. If I attack the military’s territory now, how do you think the military people will view us?”
“In their eyes, we’re just aggressors who took resources that should have belonged to them and occupied their home.”
“They will only harbor grievances and hatred for us.”
“But if Mengya Company breaks their home, and we step in afterward, the effect is entirely different.”
“At that moment, we are the rescuers, and they will only feel gratitude towards us. That’s the best time to win them over.”
“Of course, that’s one aspect. More importantly, the military leader Zhang Yujiang, he is desperate for us to negotiate with him, to take in the military’s people and territory.”
“In doing so, he can sell the military’s entire assets to us at a high price, gaining enormous benefits.”
“And by doing this, he can also transfer Mengya Company’s firepower onto us.”
Upon hearing this, everyone showed a serious expression.
Attacking the military’s territory is not something to be done casually.
It requires timing and strategy.
Among everyone, few can grasp this reasoning.
Ling Yurong, Ding Yan, Di Quanke, and Zhuang Shuyuan understood at this moment.
Everyone couldn’t help but admire Liang Yuan’s ingenuity.
Ding Yan immediately said, “I think what Liang Yuan said makes sense. We should attack the military but definitely not shelter a bunch of ingrates.”
“I agree with Liang Yuan!”
The others also raised their hands in agreement with Liang Yuan.
Li Hanzhong nodded and said with a wry smile, “I agree, Mr. Liang. I’m just a researcher who cares about the population resources, and I’ve dealt with some military research personnel. Among them, there are indeed quite a few capable people.”
“That’s why I’m bringing up this opinion. Since you already have a strategy, just consider I said nothing.”
Liang Yuan smiled and said, “Since we’re having a meeting, we should speak freely. Only through collective discussion can we come up with a perfect plan. My personal ideas will certainly have flaws, and I will need everyone to fill in the gaps.”
“Mr. Liang, while you were away, Zhang Yujiang sent people over a few times wanting to discuss matters with you, but we rejected them.”
“It seems he indeed wants to seek allegiance with us.”
Zhuang Shuyuan said.
Ding Yan had already reported this to Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan heard this, slightly shook his head, and a cold smile appeared on his face, “Zhang Yujiang is unreliable, no need to bother with him for now.”
“Mr. Liang, what if Mengya Company takes long to make a move?” Cheng Zhanpeng couldn’t help but ask.
Liang Yuan slightly shook his head, “It won’t happen. As far as I know, Mengya Company has already taken action.”
“If all goes well, they might have already started fighting.”
“Minister Zhuang, have your people received any news?”
Liang Yuan looked at Zhuang Shuyuan and asked.
Zhuang Shuyuan responded quickly, “The spies over there have not yet reported back.”
Liang Yuan nodded and said, “Keep a close watch. I estimate news will come in very soon.”
“Additionally, notify Miyuan Rainforest and Yellow Earth Divine Origin to have Zhao Kai and Qinghua prepare.”
“Understood!” Zhuang Shuyuan immediately nodded.
This meeting was similarly lengthy, lasting the entire morning.
Besides discussing plans for dealing with the military, the development plan for Flying Manta Island was quickly settled during the discussion.
Moreover, the future development direction of Yangshan was basically clarified.
That is to fully develop the air force to occupy more Floating Islands.
Of course, the naval fleet cannot be neglected. As the temperature recovers and icebergs melt, the water level will surely continue to rise.
Then, apart from spaceships for travel, ships and submarines will be necessary.
However, the priority right now is still to develop the air force.
Yangshan must occupy as many Floating Islands as possible to fully control Linjiang City’s airspace.
Just as the meeting was about to end, urgent footsteps came from outside.
Then Monsoon hurriedly ran in.
“Mr. Liang, something’s happened!”
Liang Yuan stopped talking and looked at Monsoon.
Monsoon was the leader of Gale Camp, currently responsible for information transmission between major islands.
If it wasn’t important intelligence, he wouldn’t have burst into the meeting room, interrupting Liang Yuan’s meeting.
Liang Yuan immediately realized that Monsoon brought important news and asked promptly, “What’s happened?”
“The military sent people for rescue; The spacecraft from Mengya Company is bombing the military’s Cloud Mist Island!”
“Additionally, messages from Yellow Earth Divine Origin and Miyuan Rainforest have confirmed this intelligence.”
“Now a region of Cangqiong Mountain has collapsed due to the bombing; the military is barely holding on.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan’s eyes lit up, he stood up and smiled, “Everyone, the opportunity is here!”
All attendees of the meeting also broke into smiles.
“Mr. Liang, when do we depart?”
“Shall we act now?”
“Mr. Liang, let me go. It’s been a while since I’ve taken action; I’ve just broken through gene recombination. Let me test my current power.”
“That’s possible, Shi Haizhu, you broke through gene recombination?”
“Cheng Zhanpeng, didn’t you also break through?”
Everyone was eager to try, several experts from Yangshan who had just broken through gene recombination revealed excited expressions, volunteering to go into battle.
Liang Yuan waved his hand and said, “Everyone will have a chance.”
“Professor Li, how many spacecraft does Yangshan have?”
Li Hanzhong sighed, “Time is too short, we only have ten spacecraft.”
Liang Yuan frowned slightly, ten spacecraft were indeed too few.
But previously, when he led Tu Long and others into the Floating Island, he took ten spacecraft at once.
Now those spacecraft are still stationed on Flying Manta Island, assisting Tu Long, Old Ma, and others in guarding the base.
Currently, Yangshan naturally doesn’t have many available spacecraft.
Suddenly, Ding Yan spoke up, “Didn’t we just win a battle and captured Kerry Technology Company’s spacecraft?”
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan immediately recalled that, and he quickly looked at Shi Haizhu.
Shi Haizhu promptly said, “We captured a total of twenty of their spacecraft, three of which are damaged and need repairs before they can be used.”
“Among the remaining seventeen, twelve are perfectly intact, while five have slight damage, but it doesn’t affect combat.”
Liang Yuan immediately said, “Minister Zhuang, the pilots from Kerry Technology Company have been controlled by me. You should immediately take people for emergency interrogation and have them provide a usage guide for Kerry Technology Company’s spacecraft.”
Li Hanzhong immediately said, “Mr. Liang, Kerry Technology Company’s spacecraft are all disc-shaped with not much variation from previous models.”
“Our previously trained pilots can fully operate these spacecraft.”
Liang Yuan’s eyes lit up immediately and said, “That’s even better, have our people pilot the spacecraft over at once.”
“Shi Haizhu, Cheng Pengfei, Ding Yan, Di Quanke, follow me; the others stay and guard Yangshan!”
“Understood!”
Everyone promptly nodded and stood up.
Liang Yuan strode in large steps, leading the group out of the meeting room.
Just after exiting, he suddenly thought of something and said to Cheng Pengfei next to him, “Go notify Feng Jiangong and have him come over too!”
Cheng Pengfei slapped his forehead, “How did I forget him, I’ll go now.”
“I’ll go, you’re too slow.”
Ding Yan, who walked out together, opened up and then her figure leaped, instantly rushing towards the top of Yangshan.
Liang Yuan and the others quickly arrived at the hangar, where twenty spacecraft were parked.
Among them, a few were already damaged, and personnel from the research department were nearby studying repairs.
And of those in perfect condition, many people from the construction department were re-coating them.
The emblem representing Kerry Technology Company was covered up and replaced with Yangshan’s iconic mountain and water flags.
Looking at the brand-new spacecraft exterior, Liang Yuan was very satisfied.
“Let’s go, aboard the ship.”
Everyone went towards the spacecraft.
At this time, Ding Yan arrived with Feng Jiangong and followed Liang Yuan onto the same ship.
Ling Yurong, Di Quanke went to another ship.
Cheng Zhanpeng, Shi Haizhu also boarded the same ship.
Inside the spacecraft, Liang Yuan looked at Feng Jiangong with a hint of surprise.
He saw that Feng Jiangong’s originally beastified face and hands had restored significantly!
He couldn’t help but say, “You’ve broken through?”
Feng Jiangong flashed a smile and said, “Yes, fortunately, with the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device, I was able to break through successfully; now my gene recombination progress has reached 23%.”
“The originally beastified body has also slowly returned due to the increase in gene recombination progress.”
“Presumably before reaching 25%, it will be fully restored.”
Speaking of which, he solemnly looked at Liang Yuan, expressing gratitude, “Thank you, Mr. Liang. If it weren’t for you providing the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device for my use, I would most likely always be stuck at the 20% threshold.”
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but smile and said, “I still liked your original wild and uninhibited demeanor.”
The present Feng Jiangong clearly no longer had the military’s number one’s pride and dominance.
Repeatedly failing to achieve higher gene recombination progress had taken away his pride, causing his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to drop considerably.
Moreover, having left the military now, his mindset was naturally entirely different from before.
At least in front of Liang Yuan, he couldn’t be the arrogant, confident, overbearing person he once was.
It’s hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Feng Jiangong sighed, “Before, I was the number one in Linjiang and thought everyone found cultivation as difficult as I did.”
“I couldn’t help but be a bit arrogant, but once I saw your cultivation progress, I really was a frog in a well.”
