At this moment, Ren Xiaosu felt that Qing Zhen was like a star in the Northwest and Southwest region. He made the people from the other consortiums pale in comparison.
It was not that the consortiums were not smart enough, but that Qing Zhen's plans were too far-sighted.
In Qing Zhen's successive plans, there was both luck and scheming involved.
From the beginning, Qing Zhen and Luo Lan had clearly obtained the Li Consortium's breakthrough in nanotechnology. But in the end, they handed it over to the Yang Clan behind Yang Xiaojin.
At that moment, Qing Zhen asked Yang Xiaojin, "After the Yang Clan obtains this technology that was originally used for medical treatment, will they invest it in the military?"
Actually, Qing Zhen already knew the answer at that time. How could the Yang Clan not invest the nanomachines in the military? They were greedy consortiums, and their appetites could never be satisfied.
The destruction of Stronghold 109 had a huge impact on the Li Consortium, so much so that several interest groups within the Li Consortium were fighting against each other and shirking responsibility.
At that time, the Li Consortium's higher-ups also needed someone to vent their anger on to prove that they were not weak. If they left the matter alone, it would probably cause a greater disaster for the entire consortium.
So they had to take revenge.
The decision to wage war against the Yang Clan was not made by the Li Consortium in a fit of pique. Instead, they had to do it after considering their political interests.
The Li Consortium wanted to kill Li Shentan, but Li Shentan had disappeared.
The Li Consortium wanted to exterminate the Experimentals again, but the Yang Clan had already deployed their troops to the border, so they could not care less.
As such, the Li Consortium directed all their anger at the Yang Clan.
In fact, the Kyung Clan had only joined the battlefield later. At first, it was a war between the Yang Clan and the Li Consortium, and it had nothing to do with the Kyung Clan.
Qing Zhen had predicted that the Board would send him to the front lines, so he waited patiently in his villa.
When he returned, Qing Zhen killed Qing Yun and chose to work with the Yang Clan.
It looked like he had formed an alliance with the Yang Clan, but he had dragged the main forces of the Yang Clan to the southern front line.
This was probably one of the most important parts of Qing Zhen's plan.
After that, Qing Zhen deliberately played a dirty trick on the Yang Clan and suddenly withdrew his troops. This incident caused Luo Lan to be placed under house arrest and caused the Yang Clan to need more troops to fill the gap in the frontline.
But at this time, the mysterious force that was preparing to rescue Luo Lan and the reorganized bandits in the north were enough to make the defenseless Yang Clan so disgusted that they couldn't sleep.
Qing Zhen didn't seem to want to swallow the Yang Clan so quickly. He was too patient. He just wanted the Yang Clan's mature industrial chain to collapse!
The collapse of the industrial chain at the rear might seem like an economic setback, but in a war, it would mean that the soldiers at the frontline might not even have enough bullets!
It might not be obvious in the short term, as the Yang Clan's reserves could still hold out for a while.
But as time went on, the Kyung Clan would probably be able to beat the Yang Clan to the ground!
And if the Soong Clan wanted to move south, they would be blocked by the upcoming spring and summer floods.
The Soong Clan could build temporary pontoon bridges, but the summer floods in the valley were not something that could be solved with just a few dozen pontoon bridges. There were thousands of riverbeds, and the ground was scattered in the middle of the rivers like shattered porcelain.
So Qing Zhen had even calculated the time. Ten days later!
But Ren Xiaosu couldn't understand who would have the strength to break through a stronghold and rescue Luo Lan. The Kyung Clan's main forces were also at the southern front lines!
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "But there are also members of the Soong Clan among the northern bandits, right? What if they try to stop you?"
Xu Man smiled. "They think our Kyung Clan is trying to snatch territory from them in the valley. They're too short-sighted. We've never thought much of them at all. Maybe they'll only realize we're missing after we head south for a few days. "
Therefore, the Soong Clan had always thought the Kyung Clan was trying to seize control of the valley. But in fact, the Kyung Clan's target was not them at all.
Ren Xiaosu took a deep breath. "I'm also getting ready to head south and work with your people to rescue Luo Lan."
"The ones who rescued Luo Lan aren't our people." Xu Man said, "So there's no need to treat them as your companions."
However, Xu Man did not reveal any more detailed information to Ren Xiaosu. That was all he could say.
After that, Xu Man prepared to leave. Jin Lan, who was next to him, suddenly said, "Since you're already here, aren't you going to give them something before you leave?"
"Uh …" Xu Man was stunned. He had forgotten about the firearms and supplies. "What do y 'all need?"
Ren Xiaosu did not have the time to slowly pick through the items. "Leave them all behind."
Jin Lan and the others were shocked. Their big brother was indeed different when he spoke. Would they really give him anything he wanted?
The corners of Xu Man's mouth twitched. "Why don't you leave the supply trucks behind as well?"
Ren Xiaosu pondered it for a moment. "It's not like I can't. You don't have that many people anyway. After the supplies are moved, there should still be enough space for four trucks, right? You can keep those four trucks for me."
Xu Jinyuan whispered, "Big Bro is really different. We all wait for the consortiums to give us supplies and take whatever they give us. We use the supplies they give us to rob them. But our big bro directly rob the consortiums."
Xu Man frowned and thought for two seconds before saying with a sigh, "Alright, you're really not holding back at all."
Jin Lan and the others gasped. Just who was their big brother? Never mind that the Kyung Clan had been so polite to them before, they even gave them whatever they wanted now. They even gave them the supply trucks.
Ren Xiaosu waited for Jin Lan. "What are you still standing around for? Go and receive the supplies." He turned to Xu Man and said, "I won't keep y 'all for dinner either. I still have to hurry up and get ready."
After that, Ren Xiaosu turned around and left, leaving Xu Man standing there with his eyelids twitching. They had given him so many things, but he was chasing them away without even letting them eat?
We didn't fucking say we were going to stay here for dinner either, so who are you guarding against?!
Ren Xiaosu went to look for Yang Xiaojin. "I'm afraid the Kyung Clan will be attacking Stronghold 88 soon. Do you have any thoughts on that?"
This was actually what Ren Xiaosu was most worried about. Yang Xiaojin was also a member of the Yang Clan. If the Yang Clan's stronghold was attacked, would she be able to stay out of it?
Yang Xiaojin was silent for a long time before saying, "I'll stay here."
The estrangement between Yang Xiaojin and the Yang Clan did not seem to be as simple as a lack of familial affection. She had never mentioned her parents. Based on Yang Xiaojin's age, her parents should have been in their prime, so why were they no longer around?
If Yang Xiaojin did not say anything, Ren Xiaosu would not ask. However, he knew there had to be more to it than meets the eye.
But while Yang Xiaojin could ignore the Yang Clan, she did not want to shoot at the Yang Clan. Therefore, she decided to stay in this settlement.
After all, if Ren Xiaosu were to go back and cooperate with Luo Lan to rescue Yan Liuyuan and the others, he would definitely come into conflict with the Yang Clan.
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "I'll be back as soon as possible."
"I'll wait for you here."
