On this day, Liu Zhizhong returned to Kachin City.
The feeling was like a dream, it had been a long absence.
After the nationalization of Chi Zhongshui Trading Co., Ltd, it truly moved from Kachin to Wazhong City, now considered the largest economic entity of the Wado Temporary Republic, at a national public level.
The company's net profits naturally flowed into the national treasury for the fiscal expenditures of the Temporary Republic.
The original territory, Liu Zhizhong only used it as a transit warehouse for trade, with arms trade not being stored there anymore. The military procurent for the Wadong People's Army was transported via the harbor in Nandu City. Now that Wazhong Airport is open, it could also go by air.
The hotel office rented by the company previously has been vacated.
This ti, Liu Zhizhong directly went to the municipal hall of Kachin City upon return.
The original municipal building was built by the four warlord families of Peng, Xue, Bi, and Zhao, who took turns in office. Now, after Xue Manzi's death, only three families remain.
Liu Zhizhong's return does not signify the reformation of four families. His return was to discuss a transition to republicanism with the three major warlords.
This objective was formally proposed by Liu Zhizhong via letter when initiating this eting.
Of course, the three major warlords vividly noticed the results of Liu Zhizhong's leadership in the Wadong region over the past year, envied them, with nearly nothing left to say.
Whether Liu Zhizhong ca to Kachin for a conference or negotiations, it's all the trend of history, seemingly inevitable.
This eting was called the Kachin Talks!
Liu Zhizhong's participation in the talks was known to all people of Vallebang, and even to the whole world, because Wadong TV broadcast the related news globally.
Thus, the Kachin Talks beca an event of worldwide focus, just short of it being live-stread. But according to Liu Zhizhong's design, the talks were secretive, wouldn't be broadcast, but a press conference would certainly be held for the final outco.
This ti, returning to Kachin City, Liu Zhizhong didn't show up alone with explosives like before. He did inform the three major warlords in advance: I will drive alone, but the sky will have ard escorts; on the ground, Wadong People's Army missile units will aim at all predetermined targets.
Such deterrence was already formidable.
In the past year, the Wadong People's Army obtained an enhanced version of Himas, with the maximum range reaching 380 kiloters. Thus, firing from any corner in Wazhong City could cover all the territories occupied by the three major warlords, leaving none to escape!
The truth is only on the edge of the sword, dignity only within the range of the cannon, there's no fault in that.
Thus, Liu Zhizhong safely reached Kachin City and entered the Kachin municipal hall securely.
The talks started promptly at three o'clock in the afternoon that day.
In the eting room of the municipal hall from the last ti, there were fewer people, absent were Xue Manzi and his entourage, and also missing were Sa Yileng and his entourage, along with other warlords, leaving Peng Zhensheng, the Bi family, and the Zhao family.
Vallebang's military four oligarchs reunited!
Thus began the significant secret eting determining Vallebang's future.
Actually, it was just Liu Zhizhong and the three big warlords. However, the eting room was elegantly arranged, solemn and grand. The exterior press conference site was also impressively set up.
At the start of the eting, Liu Zhizhong sat in his place, dressed in a suit, looking outstanding in deanor and temperant.
The three big warlords, on the other hand, appeared senile, lacking spirit. In terms of montum, they couldn't match the young Liu Zhizhong.
Liu Zhizhong made a straightforward statent, saying, "Gentlen, the century-long chaotic state in Vallebang is indeed ti to conclude."
"The developnt and construction achievents in the Wadong region over the past year are witnessed by everyone, it needn't be said further."
"Whether to move toward a republic or maintain a balance of four powers, today is the ti to make a choice."
"Choosing peace or war is also a decision to be made today."
The three major warlords stared at each other, with Peng Zhensheng eventually saying, "Chairman Chi, as you once rightly said, Vallebang shares the sa origin and roots. Division is indeed not a long-term strategy. Bloodshed and sacrifice are also not the best choice."
"Economically, Wadong surpasses Wasi. The people's living standards are beyond comparison. Free education, healthcare, and pension systems, along with your employnt protection and union independence, indeed make us look at you differently."
"In terms of military power, Wadong People's Army dominates. Our three families combined, alas... even the arms trade with you was just giving you money for nothing."
"Moving towards a republic in a peaceful manner, I, Old Peng, have no objections. However, how will you ensure the interests of our three families in the transition to a republic?"
Saying this, Peng Zhensheng smiled slightly, adding with significance, "On the surface, it seems you are making democratic republican progress in Wadong, but in reality, you hold power in Wadong and nobody dares to disobey or not listen, not much different from us in Wasi. So, the future of our three families still depends on you!"
The Bi family and Zhao family both smiled, appearing to understand sothing tacitly.
Liu Zhizhong smiled and nodded, saying, "I received and understood your intentions. Peaceful progression to a republic is certainly the best choice. Once we publicly announce peace and a republic, it will be responded to and recognized by the world and strictly implented. anwhile, the Valle People's Democratic Republic will officially be declared, gaining international status and recognition, the significance is enormously substantial, you three understand this, right?"
The three tycoons nodded, naturally understanding the aning.
Liu Zhizhong continued, "Regarding the protection of your three families' interests, I have plans from these perspectives. Of course, you also ntioned correctly that now in Wadong, my position is similar to yours in Wasi, so my words and decisions are the final opinion."
"Firstly, the armies of your three families will be reorganized, adding to the Wadong People's Army, forming the Valle People's Army, with established sea, land, air forces, and missile units. Certainly, the Valle People's Army will undergo cuts and streamlining. Related retirent compensation will be generous; we have always practiced this."
"Secondly, regarding your three families' property, my suggestion is a 50% nationalization; this is the bottom line. After all, the source of these properties inevitably involve blood and tears, which you cannot argue, can you?"
Upon hearing this, the three acknowledged, nodding in agreent. Under the trend of history and in front of a strong young leader, they truly couldn't resist.
"Good! Since there are no objections, I'll move on to the third point..."
