Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 171 Su Zhengyang's Arrangement Humanoid ATM

When Ike heard this, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes, but he did not raise any objections. Instead, he stood up and saluted Su Zhengyang with a standard military salute.

"Please rest assured, leader! As long as there is one man left in the Skull Division, the Southern Government's troops will never be able to set foot in Shanghai!"

Su Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction, and then spoke again: "If nothing unexpected happens, the position of Governor of Shanghai will be held by Li Tingjiang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Feng faction. I have already discussed with Councillor Feng that after Li Tingjiang comes, he will focus on the government affairs system. You will be fully responsible for the military leadership of Shanghai. The Feng faction will only symbolically send a division-level combat unit to Shanghai."

"You need to pay attention to three things in Shanghai. First, pay close attention to the actions of the Southern Government. Once the Civil War breaks out, Shanghai will be the first place to be fought over. The Southern Government will definitely try every means to counterattack Shanghai at all costs. What you need to do is to defend every inch of land in Shanghai and never let any military action of the Southern Government be effective. I will help you solve any difficulties as soon as possible, including replenishing troops and logistics issues."

"Second, you must always be vigilant against Fuso. The focus of the Western powers has shifted away from the Far East. Instead, the Fuso devils are eyeing every inch of China's territory, especially Shanghai. If there is any sign of something wrong, I allow you to make an extreme move like this time. If there is any trouble, I will take responsibility!"

"Third, we must be on guard against others. In the short term, the Feng clique is on the same front with us and is a firm partner, but after all, a division of Feng clique troops will also enter Shanghai. You must pay attention to their actions. If Li Tingjiang has any ambitions that he shouldn't have and makes an extraordinary move, there is no need to worry about anything. Just take over Shanghai with force. Do you understand?"

Ike took out a small notebook with a serious expression and meticulously wrote down the details that Su Zhengyang had told him with a pen.

After Su Zhengyang finished his explanation, Ike said in a resounding voice: "Please rest assured, leader! I promise that everything in Shanghai is firmly under the control of the leader."

"The Northwest Intelligence Bureau has already set up a comprehensive intelligence network in Shanghai. If there is any new information, an intelligence specialist will inform you. Just go for it. There is no need to be timid. The entire Northwest Revolutionary Army has your solid backing!"

After the two finished their conversation, Ike said to Su Zhengyang: "Leader, the people we captured, such as Zhang Liye, Song Ziqiang, Bai Mingyu, have been in the prison at the Skeleton Division for some time. What should we do with them in the future?"

Su Zhengyang was slightly startled, then patted his head. During this period of time, he was so busy competing with Fuso in wits and courage that he forgot about these real people.

"Have someone send the three of them to the manor right away. I will meet them in person."

"Yes, leader!"

Nearly an hour later, two jeeps stopped at the gate of the manor. Several fully armed soldiers from the Skeleton Division escorted Zhang Liye and two other men, who were shackled, into the manor. They twisted and turned to the back garden. At this time, Su Zhengyang was lying comfortably on a lounge chair in the garden, basking in the sun.

Compared to the high-spirited and dignified appearance half a month ago, these three people are now in a very miserable state.

The first one was Zhang Liye. His left arm was missing and he walked with a limp. On his left cheek, there was a scar about five or six centimeters long caused by shrapnel, and covered with a thick blood scab.

Zhang Liye was wearing a thin light blue prison uniform specially prepared for him by the Skeleton Division. Although his face was pale and his eyes could not hide his hatred for Su Zhengyang, his mental state was still okay.

On the other hand, the prince of the Song family, Song Ziqiang, and the young master of the Bai family, Bai Mingyu, both had dry and messy hair like a chicken coop, and a pungent sour smell emanated from their bodies. In half a month, they had become almost skin and bones, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Su Zhengyang.

"Tell me what I should do with you?"

Su Zhengyang's eyes swept across the three people's faces with different expressions with interest.

Zhang Liye said calmly, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I am Zhang Liye, a man who cannot afford to lose. Since we have fallen into your hands, you can kill us or chop us up as you please. Why do you have to send us to you to humiliate us? Just give us a quick death."

A smile appeared on Su Zhengyang's lips.

"Okay, come here, drag these three out, execute them immediately, and throw their bodies into the Longjiang River to feed the fish!"

Several soldiers came forward with grim expressions and were about to drag the three people away.

Zhang Liye had no intention of resisting and seemed to have accepted his fate. Bai Mingyu was the most emotional. While struggling, he cursed at Zhang Liye: "Zhang Liye! You damn bastard! If you want to die, why do you have to drag me and Brother Song down with you!"

The soldiers dragged them away roughly. Although Song Ziqiang did not speak, his eyes were filled with reluctance. Bai Mingyu shouted hysterically: "Su Zhengyang, no, Councillor Su! I know I was wrong. I will never dare to go against you again. Please, let me live! I don't want to die yet!"

Zhang Liye spat with disdain: "Useless coward, you are really bringing shame to your Bai family!"

Seeing that Su Zhengyang was unmoved, Bai Mingyu collapsed instantly. His legs went limp and he wailed with snot and tears. A stream of yellow liquid flowed out from the crotch of his pants.

"Su Zhengyang! If you touch me, the Song family will fight you to the death. I am the only direct descendant of the Song family! Don't act on impulse! Think twice before you act!"

Finally, Song Ziqiang put aside his arrogance and began to beg for mercy in disguise.

It was not until this time that Su Zhengyang waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to stop what they were doing, and strode up to Zhang Liye.

Su Zhengyang looked at Zhang Liye sarcastically and said, "Your father was a veteran of the Northern Frontier government. You are an unfilial son, jumping up and down like a clown, trying to unite with the Southern Government to drive the Northern Frontier government out of Shanghai. In my opinion, you are nothing but a waste. What a joke! A senior military commander who graduated from Frunze Academy? What a stinking pile of shit."

"Su Zhengyang! If you want to kill me, just do it! Why do you have to humiliate me like this!"

Su Zhengyang stepped on Zhang Liye's cheek with his left foot, looked at Zhang Liye's bloodshot eyes, bent down and said, "I will not only kill people but also destroy their hearts. What can you do to me? You can't stand it? Do you feel that your personality has been insulted? You are a worthless rubbish!"

"Find a cesspool! Tie rocks to him and throw him into the cesspool to drown him! You want dignity, but I'm going to make you die in the most humiliating way possible. This is the fate of going against me, Su Zhengyang!"

"Su Zhengyang! Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go! I'm waiting for you to meet me on the road to the underworld!"

Zhang Liye, who was dragged away by the Skeleton Division, was still cursing Su Zhengyang like a madman. Unfortunately, he was shot twice by the Skeleton Division soldiers, which broke all his teeth.

The two second-generation warlords who were watching Zhang Liye being dragged away were so frightened that they collapsed all over and their souls flew away. They drowned the man in the pit. Only Su Zhengyang could think of such a disgusting and humiliating method.

Su Zhengyang also lost interest in Bai Mingyu and Song Ziqiang at this time. However, these two second-generation rich people, unlike Zhang Liye who has nothing now, still have certain value.

"Immediately contact the Song and Bai factions of the Southern Government and try to get Song Ziqiang out of Shanghai safely. 50 million dollars to redeem Bai Mingyu, and 30 million dollars. If there's one less, I'll have their eggs dug out and sent to their father!"

For Su Zhengyang, the only role of these two people is to act as human ATMs to create some due value for himself.
