In the mayor's office, Anzecheng was sitting on the sofa. Hearing Liming Sheng's words, he was silent for a moment and said: "I think we should communicate with Bana City first. Not through the military department, but directly with the administrative system.
Talk to Bruna and see what she means."
"That's right." Liming Sheng thought for a while and nodded slowly. Then, he looked at Li Yuan and ordered: "Hel me get through to the office of the chief executive of Bana City."
"yes!"
Li Yuan picked up the phone beside him and dialed a number.
…
Ba Na City, in the chief's office.
Boang was thin and dressed in the uniform of the Black Water Legion, sitting in the wheelchair that had been with him all year round.
At this time, he and his sister Bruna were the only ones in the entire chief executive's office.
Bruna sat on the long chair, with a long desk between them.
The two siblings looked at each other for a long time. Bruna was the first to speak and asked with a serious face: "Why did the Blackwater Legion launch a siege operation against the Wang family residence without my order? Even if you wanted to carry out such a military operation, why did you do it in advance?
Won’t you say hello to me?”
Boang crossed his arms and spoke slowly: "My dear sister, the situation in Bana City has become very tense now. As the commander of the Blackwater Legion, I must ensure the safety of Bana City before I can help us.
Allies. I received intelligence here that there are many pirates and Warhammer armed forces gathering near the canal. I did this to ensure their safety and the security of the Bana City border. Therefore, I asked the troops
We moved towards the Wang family, but we didn’t expect that the Wang family would be so sensitive and suddenly evacuate from the city.”
Saying that, Boang sighed: "I didn't mean to hurt them, but he doesn't trust us at all. And this is just a small transfer, not a siege, so I didn't say hello to you in detail."
Bruna looked at her brother, thought for a long time and then said: "Okay, let's put the Wang family's affairs on hold for now and let's talk about other things."
Boang nodded: "As long as it is beneficial to Bana City, I will take it seriously."
Bruna frowned and continued: "The military conflict over Sri Lanka is escalating. I now ask your Blackwater Corps to move towards this area!"
Boang shrugged his shoulders and said: "My dear sister, I love you and respect you very much. However, you do not understand military issues. In this regard, I still insist that we must first ensure our own safety before we can help
Our allies. Sri Lanka is in danger, but the current situation is also very unfavorable to us. Although our military force in Bana City is relatively elite, the number of armed forces is very weak and we do not have the energy to protect all places."
Bruna stared into Boang's eyes and told him very seriously: "This is my order!"
Boang shook his head: "I think this order is unreasonable, my sister."
Bruna stood up and said in a stern voice: "In this office, I am not your sister, I am your chief! Mr. Boang!!"
After Boang was silent for a long time, he saluted with a trembling voice and replied: "General Commander, as your army commander, I feel that we in Bana City are not anyone's puppets. We cannot risk the lives of our own soldiers to guarantee another
The interests of the nation. This kind of thing is very ridiculous. Since you are the commander-in-chief of Bana City, please put yourself in the perspective of Bana City and think about the people here."
The two looked at each other, each with their own reasons in their words.
The atmosphere in the office was very stiff and the smell of gunpowder was extremely strong.
Outside the office, many staff also heard the quarrel between the two siblings, but everyone remained silent and did not dare to say anything.
After a long time, Boang took the lead and said: "My dear sister! Please don't misunderstand me. I just think about my hometown and nation. Of course, if you insist, mobilize our few armed forces."
Troops, go help Sikalan, and I will definitely carry out the order!! Whether it is for family reasons or for work... I will listen to you."
After finishing speaking, Boang looked at Bruna and saluted, paused for a while, and then pushed his wheelchair away.
Obviously, there was a disagreement between the two leaders of the Bernardo family on this matter.
Bruna bit her lip, stared at Boang's back, suppressed the irritability in her heart, and began to think.
After a while, there was a gentle knock on the office door. Bruna's secretary pushed the door open and walked in. After observing the president's face, he said cautiously: "President...there is a call from the Longcheng Mayor's office..."
Bruna sat back on the chair, took a few breaths, and calmed down her emotions: "Come in."
"yes."
Soon, Bruna picked up the phone on her desk and said in a calm tone and fluent Chinese: "Hello, Mayor Li."
Liming Sheng's steady voice rang: "President Bruna, this late-night call is a little disturbing."
Bruna immediately said: "You're too polite. Is there something wrong with Mayor Li?"
Liming Sheng then said: "That's it. First of all, I want to convey good news to you. Foreign Minister Bai is now out of danger. Although he is still in a coma, his injuries have stabilized."
Bruna breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a huge stone suddenly fell to the ground in her heart. She glanced at the photos of the family on the table, quickly adjusted her mood, and said slowly: "This is indeed a very good person."
According to the news, I hope that Longcheng can fully protect my husband’s safety."
Liming Sheng said seriously: "Regarding this, don't worry, we have protected the hospital where Foreign Minister Bai is located at all levels. I promise that that kind of thing will not happen again!"
Bruna said softly: "Thank you."
Liming Sheng paused and then said: "General Bruna, let me talk to you about military matters. I think you also know that the situation in Sri Lanka is very tense now. We need Bana City to garrison
Provide support at the Minjun Army base over there."
Bruna thought for a moment and said: "Mayor Li, I respect you very much, and I also attach great importance to our military, economic, and strategic alliances. But Bana City is now encountering some small problems.
, I need you to give me some time to deal with internal matters first."
Liming Sheng pondered for a long time and agreed: "Okay, I also believe that the relationship between us is very strong."
Bruna nodded and said: "Of course, the father of my child is still in Dragon City. He is the witness of our relationship."
Liming Sheng replied: "Okay, let's do this for now. I'll wait for your news."
"OK."
The two ended the call.
…
Liming Sheng put down the phone and looked at Anze City.
Through the hands-free, Anze City also heard the conversation just now, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "There are two problems now. The first is that the Blackwater Legion is in trouble, but the administrative faction is not. The second is that the administrative faction is not.
There is also a problem, they are acting."
Liming Sheng frowned and asked after thinking for a long time: "What do you think of Bruna's tone just now?"
An Zecheng shook his head: "Judging from Bruna's reaction when Bai Hongbo's accident happened, she is relatively real emotionally, and the possibility of acting is relatively low. However, politically, it is not easy to judge now.
We'd better be prepared."
Liming Sheng thought for a long time and couldn't help but said: "If it's a price negotiation, that's fine. If it's something else..."
The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time.
After half a day, Anze City suddenly raised its head and said in a very simple way: "In order to fight against the outside world, we must first pacify the inside. If there is a problem in Bana City, we must concentrate our firepower to destroy it first."
After a pause, he added: "But the premise is... we need the support of the orthodox faction!"
