Chapter 363: Not His Style (1/2)

”What are you talking about? Act of treason to this country?” Tang Shaoyang looked at Yan Kui and asked ”Which country?”

”Ah, maybe I should correct you first. Our country has fallen, so you are no longer a military force of any country. You are the ex-soldiers of the fallen county.”

”Want proof? The proof is easy, where is our government now? It's been almost five months since the disaster, where are they?” Tang Shaoyang raised his right brow as he questioned Yan Kui, ”So which country are you talking about?”

Yan Kui opened his mouth, but there were no words that came out. He could not refute the opposite party's statement.

If this was just the first or maybe the second month, it was understandable. But for almost five months, there was no news from the central government or any military force that came to rescue them from the Military Main Base.

”That's why we have to unite and rebuild our country again,” after some time, Yan Kui managed to utter those words out.

”I am building my new country, but I will not unite with you and your military force, let alone hand over my base,” Tang Shaoyang firmly responded, ”Of course, if you want to join the empire, we will receive you and your people with my hand open.”

Yan Kui looked Tang Shaoyang into the eyes. He then realized the man was not joking with his words.

”Are you going to oppose the military force then?” He asked Tang Shaoyang in a grim tone.

The grin turned into laughter as soon as Tang Shaoyang heard the question from Yan Kui.

”Opposing the military force? Are you kidding me? What do we do to oppose the military force? For not handing over the base to your lap?”

”Yes!” Yan Kui shamelessly admitted outright that not handing the base over was opposing him and the force behind him, ”We will purge the traitors of the country!”

”So you want a war?” Tang Shaoyang licked his lips, and he looked toward Zhang Mengyao, ”Does the Second Lieutenant have the power to make a big decision like this?”

”I don't think so, but their report to their superiors may lead to a war,” Zhang Mengyao replied.

Tang Shaoyang's eyes brightened up as an idea crossed his mind. Since these soldiers came from the neighboring territory, he needed to take that territory for his expansion.

He could not allow the potential enemy to stay near the main base. However, he needed a legitimate reason to declare war. He wanted to establish a prosperous empire while giving a good image of his empire to the people.

Using force and violence only worked temporarily on the people. He had to change the method to make the people feel that the empire was their home. Declaring war thoughtlessly was not the option, he needed a legitimate reason.

War meant killing and being killed, it would give a bad image to his already bad image to the people. War after all was a bad dogma to the people. Usually, the group that initiated the war would be called a terrorist. He needed to change that slowly and let the people know that the world had changed.

Tang Shaoyang was sure that war would be something common in the near future, but he could not be the one who initiated this.

”It seems you don't have the authority, Mr. Yan,” he kept taunting Yan Kui. The latter just gritted his teeth.

”What about the criminal? We want you to hand over the criminal!” Yan Kui did not pursue the second matter anymore. He realized that the talk fell through.
