Start in Night City - #393 - Chapter 393

Don’t talk about whether to fight back or not. There are actually very few monarchs in ancient and modern times who have fought back. Most of them are like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

At least Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had ministers who were loyal to him, and there was also Uncle Liu who helped the Han Dynasty…

And what about Diego? What does he have? He has nothing, so what can he use to fight against the elite?

It’s impossible to win the fight.

Chapter 332: Kill you and all the property will be mine (4K)

Therefore, Su Xiaocai said that it would be better for him to go to Europe than to stay in Bolivia.

Staying in Bolivia, regardless of whether Diego chooses to join the elite, will not end well.

If he chooses to be complicit, Diego will be just like his father, maybe even worse;

If you don’t choose to be complicit, Diego will be assassinated sooner or later.

Yes, it was an assassination, not a suicide.

This is Latin America. Latin Americans don’t bother to play the Yankee trick of “getting killed”. They just send thugs to assassinate whoever they want to kill.

If Diego had been a woman, he might have been tortured worse than death before he was killed.

Even after death, the body will be thrown into the street for public display.

Since no matter what choice you make, there is no good ending, then why is there any need to stay?

“What will happen to this country if I leave?”

“I will replace your father and protect this country so that ordinary people in this country can truly live the life they deserve.”

…

After seeing Diego off, Goro Takemura walked in.

“Boss, has he agreed?”

Lidya Su nodded.

Diego’s agreement was actually within Su Xiao’s expectation.

“Actually, he doesn’t have a choice, does he?”

Zhucun said no more.

But what he was thinking was that if Diego didn’t agree, let him have an accident.

Takemura has a hundred ways to make Diego die quietly, and he can also disguise it as a natural death to ensure that no one will be reminded of Su Xiao.

However, since Diego agreed, there was no need for Takemura to do it.

“How long until Saul and the others arrive? Have you contacted them?”

“We have contacted them. They will arrive in the capital around five o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Sol, Mitch, and Panan are all here, and they have brought fifteen thousand people with them.”

Dawn Military Company currently has 30,000 troops, but eastern Bolivia is also the territory of Dawn Military Company, so it is impossible to send all the troops here.

It’s almost halfway through.

“When Saul and the others arrive, we will discuss the plan to attack the rebels. In fact, I already have a rough idea, but I still need to discuss it with you to improve the battle plan.”

Anti-government armed forces are entrenched in northern and western Bolivia. With only 15,000 members of the Dawn Military Company, it is not difficult to defeat them. However, after defeating them, subsequent suppression activities will become very difficult.

After all, Bolivia has many mountainous areas, and rebel stragglers can escape to those mountains.

Therefore, Dawning Military Company must get the support of local farmers, and let the farmers act as the eyes and ears of Dawning Military Company to ensure that no matter where the anti-government armed forces flee, as long as they appear in front of people, someone will report their whereabouts Leaked to Dawn Military Corporation.

“Boss, there is actually one more thing. Someone who claims to be the Shining Group came to the Presidential Palace and wants to meet with you.”

Lidya Su frowned slightly.

The Shining Cartel is quite powerful in Bolivia. They control southern Bolivia and turn it into coca leaf plantations.

In fact, in terms of threat level, the Shining Group is even higher than the anti-government armed forces.

It’s not just that they have money, it’s also that they have people.

Their military strength is not that of anti-government armed forces who rely on recruiting young men, but mercenaries.

All of these mercenaries are professional soldiers who have been on the battlefield, and most of them come from the unification war launched by New America in 2069-2070.

After the war ended, a large number of veterans suffered from psychological trauma.

The approach of the new United States is to directly drive these veterans out of the military, which is equivalent to abandoning these veterans.

Because the only thing I’m good at

There was only murder, coupled with the end result of serving the country and severe psychological trauma, it was almost impossible for these veterans to integrate into society after being kicked out of the army.

Therefore, when the Shining Group in Bolivia needed mercenaries, some of the veterans came all the way from New America to Bolivia without even thinking about it to do the dirty work for the Shining Group.

Of course they know what the Shining Group is doing, but they don’t care.

They gave up their military glory and now just want to follow money.

Originally, Su Xiao’s plan was to ignore it and wait until the anti-government forces were completely eliminated, then turn around and concentrate on dealing with the Shining Group.

But now, people from the Shining Group came to the door.

What do the people from the Shining Group want to do with me?

Seeing that Su Xiao was silent, Takemura Goro said, “Do you need me to drive him away?”

“No, let him come in. I want to see what he plans to say.”

…

Takemura said that the people in Shining Group are typical Latin Americans.

He has brown skin, black hair, and is wearing a decent suit.

However, his attire and aura don’t look too flashy, but rather resemble the American elite.

The visitor reached out his hand in a friendly manner.

“Hello, you are the president of Dawn Military Company, Mr. Su, right? You can call me Gustavo.”

Su Xiao nodded coldly, but did not shake hands with the other party.

“Mr. Gustavo, I heard from my subordinates that when you introduced yourself, you claimed to be from the Shining Group. I am curious, what do you want from me?”

“Mr. Su, don’t you ask me to sit down and talk?”

Lidya Su glanced at him.

“Then let’s sit down and talk. Takemura, two cups of coffee.”

Gustavo immediately said: “My cup has no sugar. I like my coffee to be bitter.”

“Who said I was going to serve you coffee? Both cups are mine. I stayed up late last night and just needed coffee to cheer me up.”

Gustavo’s expression froze, but as a “diplomat” of the Shining Group, he was still very thick-skinned, and he quickly returned to normal.

“If you need something to cheer you up, I have drugs here that are more effective.”

Lidya Su did not hide the disgusted expression on her face at all.

“If what you take out is Winky, you won’t get out of this room alive.”

Gustavo’s movement to take out the bag stalled for several seconds before he put his hand down again.

“It seems that Mr. Su has a very serious prejudice against me.”

“Don’t beat around the bush, just state your purpose directly so that everyone can relax.”

“Since Mr. Su said this, let me get straight to the point. Mr. Su, you don’t just want the eastern part of the country, but the entire country.”

Lidya Su was noncommittal.

It doesn’t really matter if others see your purpose.

If he did not have such an idea, then when the anti-government militiamen invaded the capital, he must have chosen to run away instead of staying to help defend the city.

Defeating the rebels certainly saved the city, but it also took the opportunity to win over people’s hearts.

Of course, Su Xiao himself did not deny that what he did was to rule the country.

Of course, good deeds must be rewarded. Who would do good deeds without good rewards?

Seeing that Su Xiao was silent, Gustavo continued.

“I admit that Dawn Military Company has strong military power, but it may not be easy to completely defeat the rebels.”

“You don’t need to worry about this. If you are here just to explain this matter, then you can go back now.”

Gustavo sat motionless.

“Mr. Su, not only you, but my boss also hates those anti-government armed forces, or rebels.”

Su Xiao smiled half-heartedly and said: “Why? They won’t let you sell Shining? Or do they want to replace you and sell Shining themselves?”

Gustavo said honestly.

“Both.”

“Then how can you be sure that I won’t make the same choice as the rebel leaders?”

The previous president, Diego’s father, President Anton, Su Xiao guessed that he had a deal with the Shining Group.

Otherwise, this Gustavo, the “diplomat” of the Shining Group, would not have appeared in front of Su Xiao when the situation in the capital had just stabilized.

Even if it flew from southern Bolivia controlled by the Shining Group, it would not be so fast.

Gustavo must have lived in the capital.

As for the benefits that President Anton can get from making a deal with Shining Group, it goes without saying.

Just look at this magnificent presidential palace and the properties that President Anton left to Diego.

Gustavo didn’t know what Su Xiao was thinking, so he continued.

“Because we can gain more benefits by working together than by fighting each other.”

“Actually, the Shining Group has long known about what Dawn Military Company is doing in eastern Bolivia. They all think that you are just showing off, just to win people’s hearts. If you are allowed to become the president of this country, then you may Take off the disguise and reveal your true colors.”

“When the time comes, or

Perhaps you will become more cruel and cold-blooded than the previous president, President Anton. “

“However, that is their idea, not my idea. In my eyes, you are not such a person, because in my opinion, you should really think about the people and come from the heart. I hope they can Live a better, decent life.”

“Your ideal is admirable, but I don’t know if you have ever thought about it. Even if Dawn Military Company can easily defeat the rebels, it can also drive our Shining Group out of Bolivia.”

“But when you have complete control of this country, how can you make the people of this country live a good life?”

“Don’t speak yet. Please listen to me first.”

“Bolivia was originally part of the Inca Empire, and later became a Spanish colony, and then declared independence in the early 19th century.”

“The name was given to the Bolivarian Republic in honor of the liberator Bolivar, and later changed to the Republic of Bolivia.”

“After the founding of the Republic, it briefly merged with Peru to form the Peruvian-Bolivia Federation. However, within a few years, the federation disintegrated. Later, it lost to Chile in the war, lost its coastal territory, and became a landlocked country.”

“Then there was a war with Paraguay, and a large area of ​​territory was lost. Since then, military coups have been frequent, and the political situation has been unstable for a long time, until today.”

“I am sure you are aware that despite being rich in natural resources, Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in Latin America.”

“The country’s arable area only accounts for 3% of the country’s land area, and food production can only meet one-third of domestic demand, with the rest relying on imports.”

“How do you plan to change such a poor country after you take office? You can’t rely entirely on exporting natural resources, right? Bolivia is rich in natural resources, but relying entirely on exporting natural resources is just drinking poison to quench thirst, and it is unsustainable fishing from the marsh. .”

Gustavo kept talking, and it was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort and done some homework before arriving.

This guy can see that he is different from President Anton. He is not the president who treats the country as his own private treasury, which is very common in Latin America, but more like a person like Allende.

So, this guy approached it from another angle and tried to impress himself.

It seems that Gustavo is very concerned about his future and the future of Bolivia. In fact, this guy only cares about himself and the tasks assigned to him by the boss of the Shining Group.

Lidya Su sneered.

“After all, you actually just want to say that only by continuing to develop the coca leaf can Bolivia’s economy be saved and Bolivia built. Mr. Gustavo, am I right?”

Now that everything has been said, Gustavo will no longer hide it.

“Yes, whether it is industry or agriculture, Bolivia cannot develop based on these two. Moreover, this is not just a country in Bolivia, but a common situation in all countries in South America.”

“European countries have only gradually come to prominence since the Age of Discovery. The United States was not founded until the 18th century. However, our South American countries became independent late and developed slowly. No matter how hard we try, it is impossible to overtake others on a track that is familiar to others. .”
