Chairman Chen's proactive contact took Guess Uncle by surprise.
After answering the phone, Guess Uncle said, "Chairman Chen, you're a very busy man. How come you have time to contact me?"
Chairman Chen remained silent on the other end for a moment before asking, "Guess Uncle, you're quite skilled. The commotion in Ma Niu Town, is it related to you?"
With these words, Guess Uncle immediately understood.
This Chairman Chen had heard about the situation in Ma Niu Town and contacted him.
Without admitting or denying, Guess Uncle simply said, "I've heard about the Ma Niu Town incident. What do you want to talk about, Chairman Chen?"
After all, they were still on the territory of the Federal Government Army, and Guess Uncle couldn't directly admit the relationship between Dabang and Bobei.
Chairman Chen knew this, but in his heart, he was certain that it was Guess Uncle who had persuaded the Bobei Army to pressure Ma Niu Town.
However, Chairman Chen was a businessman, and he wasn't interested in these military affairs.
He spoke frankly, "I heard that you've recently been looking for me to cooperate. It's not impossible to talk. If you can secure the Ai So road and give our Chamber of Commerce the right to use it, "
"Then your request is negotiable."
Guess Uncle suddenly realized that this old fox, Chairman Chen, had his eyes on the Ai So road.
However, this gave Guess Uncle a headache.
After all, the Ai So matter hadn't been settled yet, and he couldn't directly agree to Chairman Chen.
After exchanging a few more words, they hung up the phone abruptly.
It was clear that they had not reached an agreement.
After hanging up, Guess Uncle called Li Ding.
After the call was connected, Guess Uncle said to Li Ding, "Commander… The arms supply channel has been found."
"It's from some overseas sellers. The quality of the weapons is beyond compare, and the quantity will definitely satisfy you… Just… "
Guess Uncle's words made Li Ding frown slightly.
The "just" clearly indicated that Guess Uncle had encountered some unresolved trouble.
Li Ding asked, "Is there a problem with the arms supply channel? Just tell me."
Guess Uncle quickly explained, "It's like this, Commander."
"The conflict between our Bobei Army and the Federal Government Army has made it impossible for us to transport this batch of arms through normal channels."
"Neither the checkpoints nor the ports will work."
"The only way now is to operate through Chairman Chen's Chamber of Commerce."
"The Chamber of Commerce doesn't belong to Bo Mo, and they have many privileges. If we can enter Bo Mo through their channel, even the Federal Government Army won't be able to search."
"However… there was a problem during the negotiations. Chairman Chen is unwilling to cooperate, and it might be difficult to handle."
Hearing Guess Uncle's words, Li Ding felt a surge of disdain in his heart.
A mere Chamber of Commerce chairman couldn't be an obstacle to this arms deal.
Li Ding was extremely concerned about this batch of arms.
If the Bobei Army obtained these arms, their strength would definitely increase significantly.
Even if it couldn't immediately determine the outcome of the battle between the Bobei Army and the Federal Government Army,
It would at least ensure that the Bobei Army could remain undefeated.
Thinking of this, Li Ding said coldly, "No matter what means you use, this arms deal must succeed!"
······
The Bobei Army has moved into Ma Niu Town?
This news quickly reached the ears of the bigwigs of various factions.
The Bobei Army's reputation was truly soaring these days.
Even the Federal Government Army couldn't do anything about them.
So even those factions that had some connection with Ai So, most chose to stay far away and observe.
They were willing but unable.
How many guns did they have under their command?
To fight against the Bobei Army?
That was no different than seeking death.
Ai So also knew this.
Therefore, he could only place his last hope on the Federal Government Army.
This was also why he sent Lanbo to seek help from the Federal Government Army.
Lanbo had been gone for a while.
The Bobei Army's unit had also completed its deployment in Ma Niu Town.
To Ai So's surprise, this Bobei Army unit had done nothing besides deploying.
No one came to see Ai So.
But even so, Ai So still felt like a thorn in his throat, filled with fear and anxiety.
He had a feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Perhaps something bigger was about to happen.
On the other side.
After receiving Guess Uncle's call, Li Ding decided to personally deal with Ai So's matter.
Knowing that Li Ding was going to go there himself, Li Ding's deputy officer said in bewilderment, "Commander, why bother going yourself? A mere Ai So, how could he warrant your intervention?"
"Why don't I go? I guarantee that I'll make this Ai So obediently agree to Guess Uncle's conditions!"
Li Ding smiled and said to his deputy officer, "Do you think my purpose is just for a mere Ma Niu Town?"
"What else could it be?" The deputy officer didn't understand for a moment, but then he realized.
Ma Niu Town was insignificant to the Bobei Army. The most critical issue for the Bobei Army right now was weapons and ammunition.
So, the Commander's purpose this time must not be Ma Niu Town, but to make an example of them!
Thinking of this, the deputy officer quickly said, "Commander, your goal is to intimidate the Chamber of Commerce!"
Satisfied with his deputy officer's performance, Li Ding nodded, "That's right. A Ma Niu Town certainly isn't worth my intervention."
"But I can use this Ma Niu Town incident to intimidate the Chamber of Commerce's Chairman Chen."
"The weapons and ammunition that Guess Uncle promised are essential for our Bobei Army. We need to let those who have ulterior motives know that whoever stands in our way will suffer the consequences!"
The deputy officer understood and replied, "I understand, Commander! I'll go prepare right away!"
After all, they were going to the Federal Government Army's territory.
Moreover, this time Li Ding was going himself, so the deputy officer dared not be careless.
He mobilized troops and deployed the Bobei Army's most elite unit to accompany him.
The group set off quickly. Before the various factions could react, Li Ding had already led his troops to Ma Niu Town.
Inside Ma Niu Town;
Ai So was discussing with Chapper how to deal with the Bobei Army's attack.
Then he received a report from the orphans saying that Commander Li Ding had arrived in person!
Over the years, Li Ding's prestige was not only unparalleled within the Bobei Army.
Throughout Bo Mo, almost everyone knew his name.
Upon learning that it was Li Ding who had arrived in person, Ai So trembled with fear.
Chapper saw this and quickly comforted him, "Brother-in-law! Stay calm. Although the Bobei Army is strong, they're still on our Bo Mo territory."
"Not to mention, they'll give face to the Grand Master."
Hearing Chapper's words, Ai So didn't feel any better.
Grand Master?
Even the Federal Government Army's face, the Bobei Army didn't give.
This was completely different from the other factions who had come to make trouble in the past!
Ai So pushed away Chapper, who was still trying to comfort him, and stumbled out the door, preparing to greet Li Ding in person.
No matter what, he thought, there was a saying in China that you don't hit a smiling person.
He had never offended Li Ding, and some things could be resolved peacefully if he spoke politely, right?
