Xiao Fan squinted his eyes: "What if I don't agree?"
At this time, Li Dahai also said: "Leader Xiao, why bother doing such unrewarding things? We are all leaders of Yan Yun, it is only natural that we help each other. You keep the mutant beast meat, we give you gold and silver, we can give you an IOU for the gold and silver, and pay you back when the time comes. Isn't that right?"
"That's right, does Leader Xiao not trust us?" Driving school Zhang Peng also chimed in.
Lu Wang sinisterly said: "One should never eat alone. You have so much mutant beast meat, it would benefit you to share it with everyone."
Chen Fudong finally said: "If one is too greedy, they may die quickly."
With Chen Fudong's stance clear, the attitude of the others also became ambiguous.
The current situation was obvious. Chen Fudong, Lu Wang, Li Dahai, Zhang Peng and the others had reached an agreement and were about to make a move against Xiao Fan.
Among the other leaders, Zhao Dashan was standing on Xiao Fan's side, and even Han Dongyang couldn't help shifting towards Xiao Fan's side, basically indicating his stance.
Of the remaining leaders, Guo Mingjie and An Lan held their positions, while several others seemed to lean towards Chen Fudong and the others.
There was no other choice. An innocent man carrying precious jade would be a target. The mutant beast meat in Xiao Fan’s possession was too attractive, these leaders all wanted a piece. If they could really take down Xiao Fan and obtain the mutant beast meat, even getting a military vehicle would be good.
Although the deterrent effect of those military vehicles was considerable, they were useless now since everyone was inside the conference room, with many people standing guard outside. With no reinforcements, Xiao Fan and the delicate beauty he brought could only surrender.
Once the leader was captured, no matter how many military vehicles there were, they were just for show.
Xiao Fan quickly took in the mentality of everyone present, it was clear as a mirror in his mind.
However, his initial goal had been achieved by obtaining over 100,000 gold, leaving him fearless of anyone.
With a slight smile, Xiao Fan said to Chen Fudong and the others, "I’m going to the restroom first."
Chen Fudong didn't care, pointing to the side of the wall, "The restroom is over there, but your men and walkie-talkies stay here. I believe you know we don't like being disturbed."
Xiao Fan nodded indifferently, leaving the walkie-talkie behind as he headed into the restroom.
The restroom was sizable, divided into male and female sections. Xiao Fan entered the men's restroom.
After entering, he first scanned the surroundings with radar.
He found that just outside the conference room, over 30 gunmen were lying in ambush.
Undoubtedly, these were all prepared by Li Dahai, Chen Fudong and the others. Once things went south in here, the gunmen would rush in and kill him.
Relying on this building and their manpower advantage, they were not afraid of the military vehicles outside at all.
After all, they were just vehicles with machine guns, no real threat to the building.
If his soldiers attacked with force, relying on their numbers and defensive tactics, they would not be afraid even against regular troops.
"What a good plan, but unfortunately, from the moment I started the deal, you were destined to lose!"
Xiao Fan opened the system page. The captain had finished upgrading.
【Congratulations Commander on promotion to Battalion Commander. Please set the personnel size for the battalion.】
This was already part of Xiao Fan’s plan, he even had the numbers ready.
A company had 140 men. Three companies made 420 men.
Add in a guard platoon, cooking platoon, medical team, special operations platoon, etc., about 120 more.
Also reserve some slots for future mechanized and engineer units.
"700 men."
【Battalion personnel size set to 700. Personnel size set.】
【Commander please note, without the Base Builder deployed, your troop limit is one battalion. So please complete Base construction and site selection as soon as possible.】
After Xiao Fan and Anni’s announcement, many new items appeared on the system page.
First, Xiao Fan noticed several new physical buildings appeared under Constructions!
City Walls.
Resource Recycling Station.
Xiao Fan was surprised. "I thought physical buildings couldn’t be built without the Base Builder?"
【To assist Commander in site selection, and since walls have no production capacity, the system has unlocked these constructions. They can be built without the Base Builder, including three levels of walls and related facilities. Please review at your leisure, Commander. 】
"What about the Resource Recycling Station?"
【The Resource Recycling Station is an auxiliary construction. Building walls requires funds and resources. If Commander can collect relevant building materials, it can greatly reduce costs.】
Xiao Fan understood. He only skimmed it briefly and saw there were indeed three levels of walls, including Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced.
There were also related facilities like gates, floodgates, power grids, watchtowers, bunkers, etc.
As for the recycling station, he didn’t have time to study it right now. There were still more important things to do.
Since Chen Fudong and the others refused to trade the gold and even tried to make a move against him, he would show no mercy.
First, he opened the Vehicles page. He needed a powerful troop type that could attack buildings.
Soon, Xiao Fan found what he needed on the vehicles page.
There were three new unlocked vehicles.
【Dongfeng Mengshi Armored Off-road Vehicle: Price 2000 gold. Total mass 5 tons. Equipped with 7.6mm vehicle machine gun. Crew of seven.】
【Multi-Role Infantry Vehicle: Price 2500 gold. Traditional Red Alert unit. Can generate different effects when working with various troop types. 】
【Domestically Produced VN3C Infantry Fighting Vehicle: Price 4000 gold. Max crew of seven. Vehicle equipped with 30mm autocannon, 5.8mm machine gun, and HJ-7 anti-tank missiles. Top speed 120 km/h.】
The Dongfeng Mengshi was Xiao Fan’s current vehicle, a company-grade commander vehicle. Now that he was promoted to battalion commander, the company commander vehicles were added as standard issue.
The Multi-Role Infantry Vehicle was a Red Alert black tech unit that could change forms based on troops loaded. But Xiao Fan didn’t have time to study it now.
The appearance of the infantry fighting vehicle marked a substantial increase in combat effectiveness for Xiao Fan’s forces.
Unlike the armored transport, the autocannon and anti-tank missiles significantly enhanced their heavy firepower.
Xiao Fan immediately ordered production of two infantry fighting vehicles!
Their appearance would have a tremendous deterrent effect against external enemies.
When needed, they could also attack buildings.
But Xiao Fan did not stop there. He continued reviewing the Soldiers page.
New troop types also appeared here.
【Domestically Produced 1989 60mm Mortar: Price 1500 gold. Two man crew. Comes with ten rounds and two flares when no stars. Maximum range 2700m.】
【Anti-air Infantry: Price 600 gold. Infantry equipped with portable individual FN-6 anti-air missiles. Maximum range 5km, max engagement altitude 4km. Comes with 3 missiles when no stars. Effective against helicopters, transports, reconnaissance aircraft and other aerial threats. Also ground vehicles and bunkers.】
[Engineer: Price 200 gold, basic personnel of the troops, can pave roads, build bridges, lay and clear mines, and assist engineers in completing various operations and applications of machinery.]
[Spy: Price 8000 gold, special personnel, proficient in firearms and fighting, proficient in disguise and make-up, proficient in multiple foreign languages, can be used for reconnaissance, sabotage, kidnapping, infiltration combat, etc.]
Xiao Fan did not produce engineers and spies for the time being. First he produced five 60 mm mortars and five anti-aircraft infantry.
Chen Fudong and the others thought the building was safe, so let them have a taste of mortar shells and missiles!
As for the room here, Xiao Fan was not idle either.
In the bathroom, set up a heavy machine gun!
The battle will start soon, he must maintain absolute fire suppression!
