Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2511 Regional Influence

The next morning.

After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao went to the Ninth Department to wait for news.

After a while, Liang Zuoxin came in yawning, and when he saw Yang Xiaotao, he asked, "What happened yesterday afternoon? We waited at the shooting range for half the afternoon, and it was fortunate that Lao Li called to inform us."

Yang Xiaotao then remembered that he forgot to say something when he left yesterday, and a look of apology appeared on his face.

"What about now? The tanks are back?"

"No, it's still at the range, but our guys are watching it, so it should be fine."

"That's good. Let's leave the tank there for now. Maybe it can still be used."

Yang Xiaotao thought about what happened yesterday and felt that the tank could still be used in the end.

The two sat in the office for a while, then Liang Zuoxin returned to the training ground, while Yang Xiaotao left the office and went to the research institute.

Before lunch, Yang Xiaotao received a call from Mr. Chen. He thought he was going to attend a meeting, but it turned out to be a call to inform him that Alfat wanted to visit his home and asked Yang Xiaotao to prepare in advance.

Yang Xiaotao asked on the phone if there was anything he was paying attention to. After a moment of silence on the phone, Mr. Chen spoke up, "He is our friend."

Yang Xiaotao understood immediately that there was good wine for friends to come.

At the same time, I also feel that the things considered above may be more comprehensive. I will definitely think of what I can think of, and I can probably grasp what I can't think of.

As for the future, Yang Xiaotao feels that it is useless to think too much and just need to do his job well.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao asked Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue to go shopping, and then go back to the courtyard to prepare.

Letting Liu Lixue go with him would also save some trouble.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was preparing, the meeting in the conference hall had already come to an end.

There were many people attending the meeting, but there were only four leaders.

The meeting has been held for more than ten hours since yesterday afternoon.

Even during the break, everyone was still thinking about the pros and cons.

bang bang
The thin old man in the lead knocked on the table, then looked at everyone and said, "We must make a decision as soon as possible, then report it and make the final decision."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

The uncle on the left put down his cigarette, took a deep breath, looked at the people below, and then concluded, "I still say the same thing. Given the current situation, how bad can it get?"

"The current situation is different from before. What we face is no longer black and white. Our environment will be diversified and more complex!"

“This requires us to stand up and make our voices heard!”

"Not only that, we also need to do it for those who are waiting to see, so that they can see our determination and courage."

At this point, the uncle put out his cigarette and said, "This is a great opportunity!"

"If we fail to grasp it, it will disappoint many people who are looking forward to it!"

The thin old man nodded silently after hearing this. This was a good opportunity to increase the region's influence.

President Peng nodded silently, "I agree! The result may not be very good, but it won't be worse than it is now."

"Over the years, we have accumulated a lot of wealth and have a lot of weapons in our hands. We have the confidence and ability to defend our country."

After Mr. Peng finished speaking, the people around him immediately showed confident smiles.

This ability is not just boasting.

We were able to defeat seventeen gangs in the peninsula back then, so there is no reason why we can’t do it now.

What's more, now it's not just millet and rifles, we have planes, cannons, missiles, and mushroom eggs.

You won’t know whether you win or lose until you fight!
Seeing the reactions of the people around him, Mr. Chen sighed, then said helplessly, "To be honest, our economic development momentum is very good now."

"Give us three years and our economy will double!"

"Give me five years, and our people's living standards will improve, everyone will have enough food to eat, and national construction will be able to move to a higher level."

"Yes~"

"But if this decision is implemented, this momentum will be interrupted, and we may even have to get more blood transfusions."

"And this is different from Alba, they don't even own the country."

"We can't be like Annan."

Having said this, Old Chen showed a helpless look on his face, but did not continue speaking.

But everyone present understood what Mr. Chen did not say.

After all, the Alliance will pay for supporting Annan. If we support the other side, the Alliance will probably not be in a good mood.

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

Finally, the thin old man spoke up, "Now, I propose that we have a vote, the minority obeys the majority, and submit the final opinion."

"Well, raise your hands if you agree."

After saying this, more than ten arms were raised one after another.

"Then raise your hands if you disagree."

Mr. Chen raised his hand firmly, and some people below supported him.

Finally, after statistics by the staff, the results came out.

The thin old man looked at the result and then announced, "Eleven people agreed with this resolution, nine people disagreed, and three people abstained."

"If the results are correct, I will report them after the meeting and our superiors will discuss and make the final decision."

"Now, the meeting is adjourned."

After the thin old man finished speaking, everyone stood up and left the venue.

After the four of them greeted each other, they finally walked out.

"Old Chen, don't worry too much. Things may not necessarily develop in a bad direction."

Mr. Peng walked with Mr. Chen and tried to comfort him.

Although their opinions differed, they were all for the sake of revolutionary construction.

It's not about the person, there's nothing that can't be discussed between them.

Hearing this, Mr. Chen sighed, "I am really afraid that the good situation will be ruined."

Mr. Peng laughed when he heard this. "Old Chen, Old Chen, I think you are just in the middle of the situation and you are blinded by one thing."

Mr. Chen glanced sideways, and Mr. Peng's laughter stopped immediately.

There is no other way, we have to rely on others for the funding.

"Lao Peng, I know what you mean. Isn't it just borrowing their money to develop our industry?"

"But have you ever thought that what we get is just a bunch of paper, but what we give out are real supplies."

"It's better if we can make it ourselves. We can be self-sufficient."

"I'm afraid that we'll have to give it away after spending money to buy it. Isn't that just losing money to gain publicity?"

After Chen Lao finished speaking, Mr. Peng laughed again, "I say, you are just worrying about nothing."

"Can't you just think like that?"

"We can support each other while developing the economy and building the revolution at the same time?"

After hearing this, Mr. Chen shook his head again, "It's not that easy as you say!"

This time, President Peng raised his head and said in an affirmative tone, "Isn't it simple?"

Just as Mr. Chen was about to speak, Mr. Peng continued, "I think what the Ninth Department does is very simple!"

Hearing this, Chen Lao opened his mouth and finally said, "But we only have one Nine Departments!"

Courtyard, entrance.

"Brother Yang! Good afternoon."

Alfat greeted Yang Xiaotao, and Yang Xiaotao quickly came up to him and gave him a warm hug.

"Come on, let's go inside."

As he said this, he led Alfat into the house, followed by a group of people, who quickly dispersed after entering the yard.

In the yard, Yang Xiaotao introduced his family members to Alfat one by one, including the Taoist priest and Mr. Ye in the yard. As for Yu Zecheng who was carrying out a task on the side, he was not included.

Comrade Lao Jin and Ms. Cui had never expected that Yang Xiaotao had such a foreign friend, who was very respectful to them and even brought many gifts. This made them realize that the relationship between the two parties was not simple. "Brother Yang, this is a gift I brought specially for my nephew."

Alfat met everyone, especially Miaomiao, Duanwu and other children, and quickly asked people to take out the gifts they had brought.

Looking at the exquisite little boxes, Yang Xiaotao knew that the things inside must be of great value.

"You are so polite, brother. I appreciate your kindness."

As Yang Xiaotao was speaking, the children couldn't wait to run out and open it, followed by bursts of exclamations.

Then the whole courtyard was in an uproar.

Alfat took the opportunity to find out the names of several children. Yang Xiaotao told them one by one, and at the end he played chess with Duanwu and the others.

Of course, this was planned in advance by Yang Xiaotao so that the little ones at home can release their energy and avoid hanging out outside all day long.

After the meal was ready, Yang Xiaotao invited Alfat to join them, and then everyone enjoyed dinner in a happy atmosphere.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao saw Alfat off.

Originally, Yang Xiaotao wanted the other party to stay for a while longer, but the comrades outside gave instructions that time was limited, so Yang Xiaotao had no choice.

Before getting in the car, Yang Xiaotao suddenly grabbed Alfat's hand and said with a smile, "Alfat, we are brothers."

"We are brothers, so we should help each other, right?"

Alfate immediately understood the meaning of the words and nodded immediately, "I understand."

Ran Qiuye handed a bag of cucumbers to Yang Xiaotao, who then put them into the car.

"These are cucumbers grown by our own Dapeng. We will bring them back for Uncle Mosidov to taste."

"Okay, I will."

After the car left, Yang Xiaotao immediately returned home.

Then I saw seven small boxes on the table, five of which were for the children, and the remaining two were for Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye.

As for the others, they probably didn’t know anyone was coming, so they didn’t make any arrangements in advance.

He came to the boxes and opened one. Inside was a jewel and pearl necklace. Needless to say, it was definitely for Ran Qiuye.

Then he gave himself a golden mechanical watch.

Yang Xiaotao took two looks and still felt that the one on his wrist was more suitable for him.

The gifts for the children are also different, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are "very valuable"!

"Qiuye, put everything away and hand it in tomorrow."

Ran Qiuye looked at the shining necklace, and after hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, she immediately closed the box, patted her chest and said, "Okay, send it out as soon as possible. If you just look at it, it's easy to make mistakes."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and Comrade Lao Jin beside him also agreed, "Xiaotao's decision is fine. We can't let anyone catch us."

Everyone had no objection to this, except the children, who were reluctant to part with the gifts.

In the end, it was Yang Xiaotao who promised to buy a better one in the future, and only then did he let go.

On the other side, Arfat returned to his residence at the National Hotel and immediately went to his father Mosidov's room, suppressing his excitement and telling him the whole story.

"He, he really said that we are friends?"

"Father, that's right. Brother Yang told me personally when I got on the bus."

Arfat said seriously, but Mosidov stood up and walked around the room.

He had already found out Yang Xiaotao's identity, and of course he also understood his current status.

What I said is definitely not aimless.

Maybe this guy already knew the inside information but was just not in a position to say it out.

Mosidov felt relieved at last and his plan could be realized.

Of course, there will definitely be some losses involved, but he thinks it's worth it.

Even if you fail in the end, it's worth it as long as you have this connection.

"report!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and both of them were startled. Then they quickly got up and opened the door, and then saw the secretary who was receiving them smiling and nodding, "Excuse me, both of you!"

Then he looked at Mosidov and said, "Our superiors asked us to inform you that there will be an important meeting tomorrow. We hope you can attend on time."

"Okay, thank you. I will be there on time."

"Thank you for your message."

After a moment's pause, Mosidov immediately replied with a smile.

"Okay, I wish you a good mood."

After saying that, the secretary politely left and the door closed again.

Alfat was still a little confused, but Mosidov jumped up happily, and said with a pious look on his face, "May the Jade Emperor bless you!"
"Father, does the other party agree to this?"

Mosidov shook his head. "It depends on the price offered in the end, but it shouldn't be a problem."

Alfate jumped onto the bed and jumped up and down happily.

That happy look made Mosidov shake his head inwardly, thinking that the boy was still like a child at such a grown-up age.

Thinking of this, Mosidov made up his mind that if things couldn't be done, he would bring his son here and protect him.

Three days later, in the morning.

Three days had passed since the meeting with Alfate.

During these three days, Yang Xiaotao also inquired about a lot of information, the most common of which was about "purchasing weapons and equipment."

Some people said they wanted to buy a hundred guns, some said they wanted to buy Baiju fighter jets, and some even said they were planning to attack the mushroom eggs.

In this regard, Yang Xiaotao was skeptical, but was still waiting for the final news.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao received a call from Mr. Chen, asking him to go to the shooting range to prepare.

As soon as Yang Xiaotao came down, he saw Wang Huzi, Han Xuanfeng, Zhang Lao and others coming over one after another.

"I got accurate information. We should be able to make a lot of money this time."

Mr. Zhang spoke mysteriously, looking at Yang Xiaotao with eyes full of envy.

"Let's not talk nonsense. I also know that the key is the degree of cooperation."

Han Xuanfeng said this with dissatisfaction, and then he saw a look of worry on Old Zhang's face.

"But I also heard that we should support each other."

When Mosidov and Arfat arrived, the surrounding area was under complete martial law, and there were even a few slogans. Groups of patrolling soldiers could be seen not far away.

It was so cold and they didn’t understand why they came here.

At this time, the two saw a dozen tanks parked not far away.

At this time, Alfat suddenly realized that this was going to be a tank cross-country battle.

But this tank is so big.

"No, it should be for us to knock."

"Mr. Mosidov, this way please!"

President Peng came out specially to greet him. Mosidov quickly came to his senses and walked forward to give President Peng a warm hug.

"Peng, when did you make this tank and what is it called?"

"This tank is one we just developed. It's called the Type 91 tank and it has pretty good performance."

"But this tank has not been officially put into service yet. It is only here for fun and is not included in the list."

Mr. Peng said this with a smile, and Mosidov immediately frowned.

Just with those few glances just now, he liked this tank.
