Three hundred and thirty nine chapters: the end of the road (2)(1/2)
Guo Wentian’s voice was very soft and the content was very short.
But Chen Fangqing, who had always maintained an indifferent attitude, suddenly shook his body.
Li Tianlan comes to Beijing.
Everyone knows that this will happen sooner or later, and it is bound to happen.
But when she heard the news, Chen Fangqing couldn't help but feel upset.
It's irritability, panic, fear, coldness, and not wanting to face it.
At that moment, Chen Fangqing's emotions were so clear and so desperate.
Guo Wentian watched all this silently, his eyes a little sad.
Now it’s not just Chen Fangqing who has these emotions?
The entire Prince Group was a little panicked when Li Tianlan entered Kyoto.
It has been less than twenty-four hours since the decisive battle in Beihai. After defeating all his opponents, Li Tianlan did not hesitate and went straight to Youzhou.
That's right, it's pounce.
Simple, straightforward, brutal, domineering.
For everyone in the Prince Group, everyone can feel the determination of Li Tianlan's trip. It is an indescribable cruelty, with naked ferocity and the smell of blood. He opens his teeth and claws. Every inch he approaches Youzhou in the air,
The Prince Group will feel even more dangerous.
After several years of continuous suppression, the Prince Group, which has always been the protagonist, has done too many things that it should and should not do.
Perhaps as Chen Fangqing said, what they did was right.
But the Eastern Palace would not accept it.
Many things in this world often do not pay attention to simple right and wrong at all.
Li Tianlan controls Chen Fangqing's life and death by winning the decisive battle in Beihai. He controls Chen Fangqing's life and death, which means he controls the future of the Prince Group.
As soon as Li Tianlan arrived in Youzhou, the entire Prince Group smelled an extremely strong bloody storm. Everyone was waiting for Li Tianlan's move with almost suffocating depression.
"What do they want?"
Chen Fangqing took deep breaths several times before asking hoarsely.
"The specific requirements have not been mentioned yet."
Guo Wentian shook his head with a heavy expression: "After all, everything has just begun, but the establishment of the new group has become a foregone conclusion. During this period, Wu Zhengmin and Bai Qingqian have made relatively big moves."
Chen Fangqing snorted and asked: "Southern Guangdong?"
"It can't be saved."
Chen Fangqing was a little helpless and helpless: "We have discussed in a small area before that Nanyue must not be saved. Things in the Haoyue Group are getting bigger and bigger, which is very troublesome. It has not been a day since the decisive battle in Beihai, and three senior executives of the Haoyue Group have already surrendered.
There are a lot of revelations. If this matter wants to be settled quickly, Nanyue must give up, otherwise it will be difficult to handle."
Chen Fangqing gritted his teeth.
Haoyue Group is a very large group that he single-handedly supported, and it is also the most beneficial cash cow for the entire Chen family. Although there are not many similar groups in Zhongzhou, there are not many. Many times, in order to fight for something that has to be fought for, Haoyue
Consortiums like this group will go beyond the rules and more often than not, when dealing, especially when dealing with certain foreign groups and forces, they will follow the will of the country.
It's just that this kind of thing cannot be brought to the table, so it leaves countless hidden dangers.
The reason why Haoyue Group has fallen to this level is not at all the reason why the chairman of Haoyue Group was killed. The most fundamental reason is because Chen Fangqing's foundation is unstable and he cannot protect himself. As the prime minister of a country, he is undoubtedly the best representative of Zhongzhou.
He can easily cover up many things about the Haoyue Group. Although he did something wrong this time, no one can deny his character and stance.
The Haoyue Group has indeed delivered a lot of benefits to different foreign forces over the years, including money, technical data, technical drawings, and even weapons, but the Haoyue Group can only get more from the other side and serve Central Continent.
But with Chen Fangqing's status in turmoil, there is no way to explain these things. Everyone will deliberately cover up what the Haoyue Group has brought to Zhongzhou, and people will only focus on what the Haoyue Group has taken away from Zhongzhou.
Right and wrong are never pure.
Under the current situation, even if the Prince Group wants to protect itself, it will not speak up for Chen Fangqing to support him.
Abandoning Nanyue and settling the matter of Haoyue Group, Zhongzhou had started discussing this matter as early as a week ago, and the first person to put forward this idea was Zhongzhou Vice Minister Wu Zhengmin. This was undoubtedly the condition offered by the new group.
At this point, the Prince Group has no room for bargaining. No matter how unwilling they are, they must give up.
Although the Haoyue Group has been in trouble for a short period of time, so far, two directors in Nanyue have been trapped in the quagmire. If they don't let go, they don't know how much trouble they will cause in the end.
No one will doubt the determination of Donghuang Palace and Li Tianlan.
The establishment of a new group cannot be done by just talking about it, nor can it be done by sending Wu Zhengmin to the position of director of Zhongzhou.
The most basic structure of a group is the need for territory.
A site used to improve its own structure, cultivate new blood, make a unified voice, and implement its own ideas.
Every group has such territory.
For example, the Beihai Province of the Southeast Group and the former Wuyue Province.
For example, the Tianfu Province and Southwest City of the Prince Group.
For example, Zhongyuan of the wealthy group.
For example, the Northern City of the Northern Group and the northwest and northeast regions where the academic faction has great influence.
Li Tianlan's new group also needs territory, enough to support the continuous expansion of a new large-scale group and continue to consolidate its own territory.
Southern Guangdong is currently the most suitable area.
This is the forefront of the development of Central Continent. In terms of economic aggregate, it is second only to Wuyue. It is one of the most developed provinces in Central Continent and has an extremely complete structure. The Speakers of Southern Guangdong are all Central Continent members. This is very important for the new group.
It is also crucial to say that with Nanyue, the new group has a stable foundation. Not to mention its prospects, at least there is no risk of falling apart.
The Prince Group has great power in Southern Guangdong. Although it is incomparable with Tianfu's own backyard, in the game with major groups, the Prince Group's power in Southern Guangdong has always had an absolute advantage. The current Speaker of Nanyue is
One of the leaders of the Prince Group, seven of the thirteen directors are from the Prince Group, including a deputy speaker at the governor-general level.
Among the remaining six directors, two are from the Southeast Group, one is from the wealthy group, two are from the academic group, and one is a high-ranking official from a local background with no obvious traces of the group.
At the municipal level, Prince Group’s advantages are equally obvious.
But now, with the rise of new groups, most of these people
Many people have to be transferred. Others may still have a good position, but the Prince Group continues to shrink. These people are transferred from southern Guangdong. Not to mention better positions, just having a current position is considered good for now.
.
Such a heavy loss, even Chen Fangqing, who is now worried about the future of himself and his family, can't bear to witness it.
And most importantly, that's not all.
These are just the conditions put forward by the New Group to settle the case of the Haoyue Group.
The New Group's knife will definitely not stop after cutting off Nanyue. They will definitely continue to cut flesh from the Prince Group to enrich their sphere of influence. One Haoyue Group has been replaced by another Nanyue, which shows how much appetite Li Tianlan and the New Group have.
How big.
"Besides Southern Guangdong, at present, the one most likely to be taken out by them as conditions is Western Guangdong."
Guo Wentian thought for a while and suddenly smiled: "Fortunately among misfortunes, I got the news. A few hours after the decisive battle in Beihai, Wang Shengxiao went to Tiannan and had a battle with Li Tianlan. Wang Shengxiao was defeated. He will definitely have to fight."
To pay the price, according to my speculation, the new group will also take away Jiangnan and Dongshan. As a new group, it is enough to own the four provinces of Nanyue, Xiyue, Jiangnan and Dongshan."
Chen Fangqing's facial muscles twitched again, but he didn't know whether to be grateful or angry. Xiyue is also one of the back gardens of the Prince Group, and Dongshan is the area where the Southeast Group and the Prince Group check and balance each other.
Every inch of land must be fought for, and the only exception is Jiangnan Province, which is one of the back gardens of the Southeast Group.
Southern Guangdong, Western Guangdong, Dongshan, Jiangnan...
Chen Fangqing silently thought about these four provinces, his face became increasingly uglier, and he hesitated several times before finally speaking: "No, I can't give it to him!"
"What can I do?"
Guo Wentian spread his palms: "The other party's idea is so accurate that there is no way to stop it."
Among the four provinces, Southern Guangdong and Dongshan are both extremely developed provinces. Southern Guangdong is what the Prince Group has to give, while Western Guangdong, seriously speaking, although a province is extremely important to any group, everything has its own priorities.
, Under the current situation, it is not that the Prince Group cannot afford a Western Guangdong. In the eyes of the Prince Group, Western Guangdong is an area that can be abandoned as a last resort.
In the same way, Jiangnan is the same for the Southeast Group. When compromise is necessary, Jiangnan will also be abandoned by the Southeast Group.
The provinces that can be abandoned mean that they won't waste much effort to get the Eastern Palace. The two entry points of Xiyue and Jiangnan found by the other party can be said to be extremely accurate.
After this incident, Dongshan Prince Group will definitely not be able to hold on. The new group wants Dongshan, but it is not their own back garden. Southeast Group cannot fight with the new group for those few positions. The rise of Dongshan Palace has already
Become inevitable, under such circumstances, appropriate compromise is within the acceptable range of everyone.
This also means that the Eastern Palace can obtain four provinces to form the basic framework of the new group without spending too much effort.
With the current momentum of Li Tianlan and Donghuang Palace, not to mention four provinces, there are more. They also have the ability to take away, but now they only need four, and they can get four without much effort.
what does that mean?
The only possibility is that they want to focus more of their attention elsewhere.
Where else could it be?
Chen Fangqing thought of Wu Zhengmin and Bai Qingqian.
His face became increasingly ugly, glowing with a hint of black and blue under the light.
Unless there is a huge accident, after the decisive battle in the North Sea, part of the location of the next Central Continent Council has become settled.
Today's Vice Minister of Zhongzhou Wu Zhengmin will become a director of Zhongzhou and further serve as the deputy prime minister of Zhongzhou, becoming the true second-in-command of the cabinet.
Bai Qingqian will give up Liaodong, which he has been operating for five years, and let that land return to the control of the academy, and then take over Wu Zhengmin's current position as one of the deputy prime ministers of Zhongzhou.
These two people plus the new speaker of Nanyue will become the three giants of the new group.
Two of them are in the cabinet.
A junior prime minister, a deputy prime minister, in the cabinet.
cabinet!
