Apocalypse: Starting with an infinitely evolving luxury RV

Chapter 1038 Drawing Big Pie in the Sky

Logically speaking, Su Chen should have immediately agreed to Wei An's offer of the Myriad Manifestations True Understanding as a reward.

However, having lived in the apocalypse for so long, Su Chen understood very well that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

How could Wei An be so kind as to give away such a precious Myriad Manifestations True Understanding for free?

"Chief, we're all smart people. Just tell me what you need in exchange."

Seeing that Su Chen remained unmoved, Wei An was somewhat surprised.

He exchanged a glance with Cheng Kun, the head of the combat department, and chuckled softly.

"Here's the thing: the capital is a bit too crowded. If Suzaku wants to develop, it doesn't have enough space."

"So we want to discuss with Mr. Su whether we can give up Beitu Province."

Cheng Kun, standing to the side, said with a smile,

"Of course, in addition to the True Understanding of All Things, we can also provide other things."

Good guy.

They really dare to say that!

To be fair, Zhan Wei and the others did a lot of work in eliminating Lao Kuai and Sister Yu.

However, Su Chen and the Watchers Alliance are the main force.

Now, Wei An has gone so far as to demand the entire Beitu Province!

Su Chen did not answer immediately, but instead looked at Lu Benwei.

Lu Benwei looked embarrassed and unnatural.

A few days ago, he had planned to try to secure more benefits for Su Chen at this negotiation meeting.

Not only did they fail to secure any benefits, but Zhuque also demanded a province from Su Chen.

If it weren't for Wei An's request, Lu Benwei really wouldn't have wanted to face Su Chen directly.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Zhuque asked Su Chen for the Northern Library Province mainly for two reasons.

First, its own development.

As Wei An said, Zhuque's sphere of influence is far too small, merely encompassing the area around the capital.

A small territory means a lack of resources.

Zhuque only controls seven or eight raw stone mines and one spirit stone mine.

This simply cannot meet the needs of the organization's members.

In order to survive and thrive, the Vermilion Bird must expand and grow.

But further north are Ningxi, Kunshan and other provinces, which are occupied by survivor organizations such as the Kunshan Society and the Canglong Gang.

With Suzaku's strength, dealing with any organization would be a piece of cake.

But if it actually does that, it will inevitably lead to the survivors uniting to resist.

This is something Suzaku would not want to see.

Therefore, Wei An and the others turned their attention to the south.

The Watchers Alliance occupies four provinces, a vast territory. Giving up one province wouldn't be a big problem.

Second.

The Watchers Alliance has four provinces and is rich in resources.

This is something that other survivor organizations can't even come close to.

Although it is not a match for Suzaku now, if it continues to develop in the long term...

Once it surpasses Vermilion Bird, it's hard to say that Su Chen wouldn't have the idea of ​​annexing Vermilion Bird and thus dominating China.

If we could obtain Beitu Province from the Watchers Alliance, it would not only weaken Su Chen's power but also strengthen Zhuque's strength, which would be a win-win situation.

This is why, despite feeling reluctant, Lu Benwei did not speak up for Su Chen.

He clearly distinguishes between national affairs and personal feelings.

"Head of the General Staff."

Su Chen spoke, his voice extremely calm and steady.

"What if the Watchmen disagree?"

"We hope Mr. Su will give this matter serious consideration."

Wei An did not answer, but said calmly,

"If you agree, the Watchers Alliance will be Suzaku's most important subordinate organization."

Hearing this, Su Chen almost burst out laughing.

No, do you think I'm a three-year-old? Are you trying to make empty promises to me?

Compared to the so-called most important subordinate organizations, it is clear that the Northern Province is the most important.

Leaving aside the Dongpan province, which was mostly submerged by seawater.

Of the three provinces of Zhongqi, Xishan, and Beitu, Beitu Province has the largest area.

Its resources are also the most abundant.

There are more than twenty discovered raw stone mines alone.

Just before Su Chen set off for Star Harbor, Shen Yue reported to him that she had discovered a spirit stone mine.

Under these circumstances, how could Su Chen possibly abandon Beitu Province?

Noticing Su Chen's dismissive expression, Cheng Kun smiled.

"There's some news I haven't had a chance to tell Mr. Su yet."

"Just a few days ago, our people discovered that the Sakura people were gathering an army, seemingly preparing to attack China."

"If I remember correctly, the Sakura people suffered a great loss at Mr. Su's hands."

"Based on our guess, their main target this time should be Dongpan Province."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's expression turned somewhat serious.

Just as I expected.

After allying with the Lava Clan, the Sakura People planned to launch an attack!

But Cheng Kun's sudden revelation of this news seemed to be a threat to himself.

If he doesn't agree, Suzaku will stand idly by when the Sakura people attack in the future.

interesting!

Su Chen is the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

If you talk to him properly, he might agree, depending on the situation.

But Cheng Kun dared to use this matter to threaten him.

Sorry, absolutely not!

"Thank you for the reminder, Minister Cheng."

Su Chen said coldly,

"But Northland Province was conquered by all the members of the Watchers Alliance."

"I can't make the decision to give it up!"

"Hey, Su Chen, aren't you taking yourself way too seriously?!"

Cheng Kun's face darkened, and he said coldly,

"You need to understand that Beitu Province belongs to China, not your territory!"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes.

"If that's the case, then where were you, Suzaku, when the apocalypse came and humanity suffered?"

"Where were you when monsters roamed freely and casualties were heavy?"

"Where were you when Beitu Province was occupied by Lao Kuai and Sister Yu, and they colluded with the Sakura people?"

"Now look what's happened, they're asking for territory?"

"Sorry, no way!"

Seeing his resolute attitude, Cheng Kun flew into a rage.

"Su Chen, you have to give way today, whether you like it or not!"

"Then I'd like to see what you're capable of!"

Su Chen's eyes sharpened, and his aura instantly became powerful.

Among the people present, apart from the B-rank superhumans, the others were even a little out of breath!

Cheng Kun steeled his heart, stood up, and was about to make a move when he heard Wei An shout sharply.

"Minister Cheng!"

Cheng Kun glanced at Wei An, then sat down reluctantly.

"Mr. Su, we hope you can reconsider our suggestion and discuss it further with your subordinates."

Wei An said slowly.

"Okay, I'll think about it when I get back."

Su Chen stood up.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave."

After saying that, he turned around and walked outside with Wang Yan and Ding Di.

"Chief, I'll go see Su Chen off."

Lu Benwei also stood up and walked quickly towards the outside of the meeting room.

After they left, Cheng Kun said with some dissatisfaction,

"Chief, we've been far too polite to Su Chen!"
