People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

The problem is not big.

This is, after all, Los Angeles, not Washington.

Although General Kranz wields great power and his company is very strong, it takes time to wield that power and mobilize that strength.

At that time, as long as we are fast enough to take over the company headquarters in the shortest time, no matter how powerful the company is, it will be useless.

what?

Did the company retaliate afterward?

Ha ha.

Once you're back in Miami, even the King of Heaven won't be able to help you.

Arriving at the plaza downstairs, Ding Ze exhaled a long puff of smoke and looked towards the company headquarters building.

The building looks unremarkable and ordinary, standing in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Who would have thought that the people inside control various major events in the United States and abroad for years?

How interesting.

Looking at the company building, Ding Ze suddenly thought of Gretchen.

Gretchen is still very valuable; to be precise, the network and resources Gretchen has accumulated over the years are very valuable.

Because of this value, Ding Ze took out his phone and called Gretchen, saying, "Hello."

Gretchen felt a real headache coming on when she received Ding Ze's call. "You seem to be in a good mood."

Ding Ze smiled and said, "I've always been in a good mood. Besides, I've just acquired a country, so there's no reason for me to be in a bad mood, is there?"

That makes so much sense, I can't argue with it.

Gretchen simply asked, "Is there something you need?"

"I'm in front of the company's headquarters building right now. Shall we meet and have a chat?" Ding Ze said with a smile.

Gretchen was genuinely surprised to hear this. "You've come to Los Angeles?"

“Is there any need to be so surprised? I have a branch office in Los Angeles, you should know that,” Ding Ze replied casually.

Gretchen did know, and after a brief silence, although she felt it was probably impossible, the thought that Ding Ze was a madman made it seem like nothing was entirely impossible...

Gretchen decided to ask, "You're not planning to take action against the company, are you?"

Ding Ze smiled brightly, "Congratulations, you got it right."

Gretchen was speechless for a moment, unable to utter a word, “….”

“But it shouldn’t be the kind of physical violence you’re thinking of. It’ll be more civilized. After all, the incident in Mexico happened not long ago. I can’t handle it if something like that happens again in Los Angeles,” Ding Ze said. “How about we meet and talk? Otherwise, I’ll go back to Miami.”

Gretchen heard it clearly and hesitated for a moment.

how to say.

Before Ding Ze conquered Mexico, Gretchen did have other ideas and was not really willing to work for Ding Ze; he was making other preparations.

And so, Mexico fell into Ding Ze's hands...

To be honest, Gretchen was completely unwilling to betray Ding Ze, even though she was still somewhat reluctant.

therefore.

“Okay, where shall we meet?” Gretchen asked silently, taking a deep breath.

“The XX Hotel next to the airport, half an hour, I’ll go straight back after we’re done,” Ding Ze replied.

“Okay,” Gretchen replied.

call ended.

Ding Ze put away his phone, then looked at the company headquarters building, slowly tilting his head back to look at the very top of the building.

General Kranz's office is located there.

The truth is, he really admired Kranz, that bald guy, and thought Kranz had strong leadership skills.

Of course, Kranz did have some problems because she had been standing at a high place for a long time; otherwise, she wouldn't have been defeated by Michael, that sanctimonious hypocrite, in the original series...

But now, with him around, those little problems are no problems at all, and they are all easily solved.

Ding Ze smiled faintly, looked away, and walked away, getting into his car and heading towards the airport.

*******

In the presidential suite of the XX Hotel near the airport.

Ding Ze took out a cigarette, offered one to Gretchen sitting opposite him, and lit another for himself. "I have to go back, so I just said it directly. Don't mind."

Gretchen lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "I don't mind, go ahead."

"The first thing I want to do with you is what I would call a long-term deal. I need nuclear submarines, warships, nuclear weapons, and other weapons that can cause large-scale damage. I want as many as you can," Ding Ze said calmly.

Upon hearing the words, Gretchen's breathing immediately became rapid.

A few seconds later, Gretchen asked, "To Miami, or Mexico?"

Ding Ze chuckled, "Of course it's Mexico."

Gretchen understood, her expression changing drastically. "You really want to start World War III?"

Ding Ze smiled at Gretchen and shook his head slightly. "Let me explain briefly. In this era, a third world war is almost impossible. This world is made up of interests, and everyone is just after interests. Before I take action, I will try my best to give the relevant parties enough benefits so that they will not interfere."

"So don't worry too much about this, there's no need to be overly anxious."

In reality, Gretchen knew that times had changed and a third world war was very unlikely... but if three or four countries were fighting each other, it would be equivalent to a world war.

"What if I refuse?" Gretchen wasn't as cold-blooded as she appeared. Thinking about the countless ordinary people who would die because of the war, she felt a little reluctant and asked tentatively.

Ding Ze smiled and said, "It's okay if you refuse. There are so many people selling weapons. I can find someone else to do this business."

That's absolutely right.

Gretchen gave a wry smile. "No need to find anyone else, I agreed. The second thing is?"

“Company,” Ding Ze said bluntly without wasting words, “In a while, Company will only have two outcomes. Either I force my way in and kill everyone, and from then on, there will be no more Company in America.”

"Or, the company can become part of Dongfeng Security, undergo upgrades and transformations, and become better."

There will be no third ending.

"I sincerely hope that you have thought this through and are ready to assist."

Even though she had anticipated it, Gretchen's heart still raced after hearing it. She fell silent again and took a deep drag on her cigarette.

Gretchen finished the rest of his cigarette in a few puffs, then pondered for a while, "After a while?"

"Yes," Ding Ze nodded frankly, "I have some small matters to attend to next, so I don't have time to deal with company matters for the time being."

"How can I help you?" Gretchen asked Ding Ze with a complicated expression.

“First, write down the information of the seven cardholders for me,” Ding Ze said, getting up to get paper and pen and placing them in front of Gretchen. “I hope to resolve the company’s issues with gentle methods first, and if that doesn’t work, then we’ll resort to more forceful ones.”

Gretchen didn't do it immediately. "If I write down this message, my life will be in real danger. Can you protect me?"

Ding Ze simply shook his head and laughed, "Not for now. I'm not sure if you know that our dear President Richard made some kind of arrangement for me and Dongfeng Security the day before yesterday. In about five days, almost the entire country's law enforcement force will be coming after me."

"I will solve this problem; until then, you'll have to rely on yourself."

Gretchen, whose position in the company wasn't particularly high and who was unaware of the matter, was surprised once again. "How are you going to resolve this?"

Ding Ze smiled but remained silent.

Gretchen looked at Ding Ze, thought hard for a while, and came up with some possibilities, but she couldn't be sure.

After a while.

how to say.

Since you can't resist it, you might as well try to enjoy it.

Gretchen picked up her pen and quickly wrote down seven names.

Ding Ze picked up the paper, looked at it, and smiled. "I'm a little curious about something: what exactly is the relationship between General Kranz and his daughter?"

Gretchen: "!!! How do you even know this?"

"We've known each other for so long, is there any need to be surprised by this?" Ding Ze asked with a smile, slowly folding the note and putting it into his pocket.

Gretchen was speechless.

“Then, let’s keep in touch. If you encounter any problems that you can’t solve, escape to Guadalajara as soon as possible. You will be safe there,” Ding Ze said, getting up.

Gretchen nodded.

"See you next time," Ding Ze said and walked away.

"See you next time," Gretchen said without moving, still sitting there, her feelings incredibly complicated and her thoughts a complete mess.

airport.

"I'm leaving now, see you another day," Ding Ze called Scarlett to say goodbye.

Scarlett felt a pang of disappointment upon hearing this, but there was nothing she could do. "Well, have a safe trip," she said.

Ding Ze didn't say anything more, hung up the phone, and then called Janet again, "Dear Ms. Austin, I will be boarding in ten minutes."
