I have a space station

These words didn't sound pleasant.

Dongfang Chen was just a commoner.

Who was Zongzhen Yue?

The Commander of the Southeast Military Region, a member of the council.

Now, he was actually being manipulated by a commoner.

Wanting the military region to maintain the stability of Binjiang's security, helping him coordinate and block anyone who might come looking for trouble, while also absolving himself of all responsibility?

This was simply outrageous!

Dongfang Chen's attitude was clear: you could ignore it, but you'd bear the consequences.

"What a clever calculation!" Zongzhen Yue thought.

Dongfang Chen also noticed Zongzhen Yue's displeasure, but just smiled lightly, not saying much. He believed that Zongzhen Yue knew how to choose.

Yan Zhengping didn't speak at this time either.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with his Southwest Military Region, unless the resettlement camps there caused trouble. But once people arrived, it would become the Southeast Military Region's problem, and he couldn't interfere.

He couldn't actively speak up for Dongfang Chen on this matter, nor could he speak up for Zongzhen Yue, so he could only watch quietly.

"How about this, you arrange a garrison location, and I'll transfer a regiment over to assist in defense," Zongzhen Yue finally decided.

He believed that this matter wasn't a compromise to Dongfang Chen, but rather to ensure the safety of the people when necessary. If someone really came to make trouble and was killed by Dongfang Chen, the situation would be terrible.

"Commander Zong, there's no need for joint defense. If there's a conflict, I'll give you a 3-hour buffer, which is the biggest concession I can make," Dongfang Chen said.

A regiment of 1,000 people garrisoned in his base would require him to keep a close eye on them. He'd even have to provide some living supplies and ammunition, which wouldn't be a profitable deal. He wasn't willing to do that.

"Then let's do it that way!" Zongzhen Yue thought this was good too. The military was already stretched thin, and he didn't want to send people over.

"Actually, the resettlement camp people causing trouble is secondary. Do you two commanders think it's possible that the military might get involved?" Dongfang Chen raised another question.

The two commanders collectively frowned. This was never-ending!

Yan Zhengping had already considered this question, and had mentioned it to Zongzhen Yue during a casual chat.

Dongfang Chen had led the military people to the Mercenary Union at noon today to prevent them from learning about other secret technologies of the base at this time.

He wasn't afraid of the military people coming to make trouble, but if that happened, the subsequent plans would be greatly affected.

"Our two military regions definitely won't have this problem. Suo Tonghua of the Northeast Military Region and Shentu Zheng Hao of the Northwest Military Region are both impatient, but they never engage in extortion. They shouldn't come looking for trouble either," Yan Zhengping analyzed.

"What about the Central Military Region? What about the council?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"This..." Yan Zhengping couldn't answer.

This was what he was most worried about.

Now, Dongfang Chen had directly pointed it out.

"In chaotic times, ambitious people are most likely to emerge," Dongfang Chen said inexplicably.

He was deliberately reminding Yan Zhengping that the situation might not develop in the ideal direction.

"It seems you have a way to deal with it?" Yan Zhengping asked.

In this world, it was already difficult enough to survive, and he really didn't want conflicts to arise between the survivors.

"What can I do? Good words can't persuade a ghost who's determined to die. Since they're prepared to be an ambitious person, they must be prepared to lose their life at any time," Dongfang Chen replied.

"However, in that case, I'm afraid Commander Zong's influence alone won't be enough to resolve this conflict," Dongfang Chen looked at Zongzhen Yue.

Zongzhen Yue's mood was extremely unpleasant, having been ridiculed by Dongfang Chen repeatedly.

"Little Chen, that's enough. Don't make things too big!" Yan Zhengping said.

"Commander Yan, it's not that I want to make things big. It's that some people might think things aren't big enough and are single-mindedly causing trouble. To be honest, I'm extremely unwilling to see this outcome. My idea is for everyone to get through this crisis safely," Dongfang Chen said innocently.

"But it's useless to tell us this! The council isn't a place where we can call the shots," Zongzhen Yue said.

"Of course it's useful. I just want to give you two a suggestion," Dongfang Chen said.

"What suggestion?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"Follow your heart and don't be used by ambitious people," Dongfang Chen said vaguely.

Yan Zhengping and Zongzhen Yue didn't speak.

These two old guys were being lectured by a junior.

"Alright, it's getting late, we should go see the show," Dongfang Chen knew that it was enough to talk to this point today.

There was no need to go into further detail, and it would cause unpleasantness between the two parties.

Moreover, there was no point in talking about things that hadn't happened yet.

"See what show?" Zongzhen Yue asked.

"Commander Zong doesn't think that some evil elements would easily let go of such a good opportunity today, does he?" Dongfang Chen smiled.

"Are you talking about the Red Coats?" Zongzhen Yue suddenly understood.

That's right! Today, over 90% of the heads of resettlement camps in China had come. This was a good opportunity to wipe them all out. Missing it would almost certainly mean never encountering it again.

The Red Coats would never let go of this opportunity and would definitely attack Binjiang at all costs.
