Empire of Shadows

Chapter 556: Showing Weakness [666+16]

For several days in a row, Feijiaer hadn't had a good night's sleep, always waking up after only a short while.

He felt his spirit was about to collapse!

Lansi was like a fish bone stuck in his throat, slowly taking his life, making him uncomfortable whether sitting or standing.

"Can you sit down?" His younger brother watched him pacing back and forth, sighing constantly, feeling annoyed and speaking unkindly.

Feijiaer glanced at him, then sat down.

His younger brother continued, "Right now, everyone is resistant to attacking. In their eyes, the Imperial District has become a terrifying monster. Those who go either die or disappear."

"If we forcefully demand that those people go and attack Lansi's men, I'm afraid..."

He trailed off, and Feijiaer already understood what he meant by 'I'm afraid'.

His face was filled with resentment, and he slammed the table forcefully, "It wasn't this difficult even when we were at war with the Bear Gang!"

The Bear Gang was strong, and they were initially overwhelmed, but once they adapted to the new challenges and the Bear Gang's fighting style, they quickly adjusted.

But the Lansi family was completely different from the gangs he had encountered before.

They were very meticulous in the details. Sometimes, the assigned task was to randomly kill a few members of the Lansi family on the street, and then return.

But as soon as the shots were fired, before they could walk a hundred meters away, some people with submachine guns would appear on the roadside and start掃射at their vehicles.

After a burst of gunfire, the car would most likely stop on the roadside, and the people inside would naturally not need to be considered; they would basically be riddled with bullets at close range.

Then someone would drive the car away and dispose of the bodies inside.

There were rumors that the pet sausages in the Imperial District had started to be discounted these past few days.

Although people couldn't verify whether this news was true or false, it did affect the morale of the lower-level members of the family.

No one was willing to become a pet sausage and be eaten into a dog's belly after an order came down, and then become a pile of dog shit on the roadside.

That was definitely the most unpleasant and terrifying way to die!

So everyone was very resistant.

If you asked someone who didn't want to become dog shit to go to their death, they might initially fear Feijiaer's authority, and those people could only resign themselves to their fate and go.

But soon they would start to resist. Even if they didn't defect, running away was still possible.

So the problem was becoming more and more棘手.

"I had people check out Lansi's new house. A direct assault might kill a lot of people."

Before the previous problem was resolved, Feijiaer's younger brother started to add to his troubles.

"He simply renovated the interior, and it's said that he used a lot of bulletproof glass. I heard that some of the glass rooms are even equipped with shooting holes."

"It's easy to shoot outside from the shooting holes, but it's not easy to send bullets into the shooting holes from the outside."

"Our boys would rather waste a whole day on a girl's belly than go to the damn shooting range and practice their marksmanship!"

"If we attack directly, we will lose a lot of people and won't have any results."

Feijiaer was very annoyed; it was all bad news. "Then what about using fire?"

His younger brother sighed, "That's a bank, with an internal fire suppression system. Unless you walk into Lansi's office and pour gasoline on it."

"Otherwise, don't expect to burn everyone inside by setting a fire outside. That's not realistic."

Feijiaer became even more agitated. "This won't work, that won't work, so what are we supposed to do?"

"Are we just going to be laughed at?"

"And this isn't just a laughing matter; this is a matter of survival!"

Everyone knew this, but what could they do?

Lansi's side also had a lot of casualties, but defense was always safer than offense. They had far fewer deaths than this side, and plus, Lansi paid more, which was enough to ensure that they didn't lack manpower.

"Is there any way to lure them out?"

Not allowing the enemy to gain an advantage was very important in battle.

Bandit was also thinking about this problem.

He wasn't happy at all right now. He should have been happy because Lansi had focused his attention on the Keene family, and the two sides were fiercely fighting and消耗ing each other's strength.

But he couldn't be happy at all now because Lansi's strength was too strong, or rather, too resilient!

Recently, some refugee gang members from the Imperial District had been seen on the streets. For the refugees in the New Port District, they were willing to do dangerous work for food and money.

Many people had frozen to death this past winter, and Lansi was very狡诈. Damn it, he had actually distributed winter supplies to the poor and some of the refugees in the Imperial District in the winter!

He did what the government should have done, and he had gained great prestige and authority. He was becoming more and more "troublesome."

If Lansi wasn't resolved, even if Lansi stopped and everyone developed peacefully, they would be瓦解d in a few years without Lansi even needing to take action!

So they had to take action against Lansi, and they had to win.

This time, not only him and Gaoli, but also Fleming and Shi Dong, as well as other important members of the family, had gathered together, along with some smart managers from regular companies.

Bandit now needed everyone's wisdom.

"How can we get Lansi to crawl out of his damn tortoise shell and go to a place that is disadvantageous to him but advantageous to us?"

Bandit looked at the people in front of him. "If anyone can solve this problem, they will be the deputy general manager of the casino."

The somewhat沉闷room instantly became… a little more lively.

The deputy general manager of the casino, that was Shi Dong's level. Being able to get a share of the casino's profits was a lot of money.

People's eyes instantly became活跃, and their minds started to turn, thinking about whether there were any feasible ways.

They intermittently proposed many solutions, but after discussion, none of them had any practical operational significance.

Either they were too stupid, or they required too many coincidences, which were impossible to apply in practice.

For example, someone suggested causing a short circuit in the bank's internal circuits and throwing毒烟inside, but it was very likely that this would not be possible, and it could not be done.

This book is recently updated on ##!!update!

Gunfights between gangs were just ordinary conflicts between gangs, but if毒烟, poisonous gas, was used, it would violate more serious laws, and the federal government might deal with them all without Lansi even needing to take action.

After discussing and discussing, there were no solutions.

One of the analysts who graduated from the Elite League Academy came up with an idea.

"We can create internal divisions within Mr. Feijiaer's family. In this high-pressure environment, it is normal for disagreements to arise within the family."

"For example, some people are willing to surrender, some are willing to negotiate, and some insist on fighting on."

"They fall into吵吵around these issues, and then break up unhappily, and the family splits as a result."

"Those who disagree with Mr. Feijiaer take their own people and leave, which leads to Mr. Feijiaer not having enough people to use. Not only can he not continue to launch an invasion of the Imperial District, but he may not even be able to defend his own territory."

"Then Mr. Feijiaer can only choose to收拢completely and arrange people in places that are geographically advantageous to him, such as their manor."

"At this time, he can release some signals to the outside world, such as that he is seeking foreign aid from other places."

"We can tout this foreign aid as being very powerful. As long as they come, Lansi will be resolved…"

Fleming had already understood by the time he heard this. "Then force or诱惑Lansi to take the initiative to attack. As long as he thinks he can solve Feijiaer and his men at once, he will definitely come out with his men."

"Then we ambush them in the battlefield we have chosen, right?"

The analyst nodded. "Basically, that's it. I don't know much about gangs, but I believe that if the battle can be resolved at once, it should be the result that everyone wants to see."

Bandit, Gaoli, and Shi Dong couldn't help but nod after listening. This was indeed a good idea.

They discussed for a while and felt that this idea was really good, and it didn't require any coincidences. All the factors were completely controllable.

Bandit quickly communicated this plan with Feijiaer. Feijiaer was also very troubled by the current situation. The plan provided by Bandit was simple and had a high success rate. He believed it was feasible.

"But even if it succeeds, I don't have that many people. What if Lansi escapes…" Feijiaer didn't finish his words, leaving half of them unsaid, but Bandit already knew what he meant.

So this time he said very肯定ly, "Don't worry, my people will be ready. He either doesn't come out."

"As long as he comes out, our people will rush over as soon as possible, and Gaoli and Shi Dong will lead the team. Don't worry, this time I definitely haven't held back."

After listening, Feijiaer was silent for a while. "Contact the Tita family again. The more people, the better."

"This time I will do it according to your plan, Bandit."

"If you骗me, whether I win or lose, I will leave immediately and let you fight!"

Hearing the fierceness in Feijiaer's words and knowing that he had been tortured enough by Lansi recently, Bandit guaranteed, "I said, this time it's for real!"

After hanging up the phone, Feijiaer pulled a few confidants into the office and discussed for a long time. During this time, Bandit also called and said that the people from the Tita family were also willing to support.

So, everything was pretty much ready.

Of course, this plan couldn't explode too crudely all at once; it needed a slightly gradual process.

For example, create another "failure case," and then use this failure case as an opportunity to trigger internal family conflicts.

Two days later, Feigal once again summoned the executives to discuss continuing the attacks on Lance's territory.

This time, he chose an executive who was usually relatively low-key. This executive was very dissatisfied with his decision.

Although he also agreed with Feigal's decision, they ultimately parted on bad terms…
