Chapter 52 Jack now proposes
"Why don't I lead my men to sneak into the enemy camp and cause civil unrest. Then we can launch a pincer attack on them."
Jack started to propose at this point.
"Okay, you will be the leader of the assault team. Advance stealthily and be careful."
Su Chen agreed with this strategy.
So, all the generals took their positions and prepared for secret operations.
That night, Jack led the Ice Wolf Squad to sneak to the enemy's defense line under the cover of darkness. They prepared fireworks signals in advance and detonated them on time.
"Bang! Bang!"
There were two muffled thuds, and the enemy camp was suddenly engulfed in flames.
The defending soldiers rushed to put out the fire, and a gap immediately appeared in the defense line.
Su Chen saw that the time had come and immediately ordered the entire army to attack!
The armored infantry rushed into the camp like a storm, and the cavalry went around to the flank to encircle the camp.
Before the defenders could react, Su's army had already rushed into the commander's tent.
"You lose, surrender immediately!"
Su Chen punched the coach’s desk.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the other side had no choice but to surrender.
The colonists' defenses collapsed instantly.
Su Chen struck while the iron was hot and quickly occupied the entire mountain range.
The natural barrier of the Rocky Mountains was thus conquered.
On the way back, James also returned victoriously with his pathfinders.
The successful conquest of the Rocky Mountains directly opened the door to the West.
For a time, the Su family's sphere of influence had covered a vast territory from east to west.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the British Empire and the governments of neighboring countries.
On the other side, Washington, the capital of the Colonial Union...
George Washington called an emergency meeting of key officials.
"Everyone, the situation is serious. The Su family's power has penetrated deep into the inland, and we must take countermeasures."
Washington looked worried.
“Chairman, I suggest forming a federal army and allocating troops from various states to defeat the Su family.”
A general advocated.
"Bullshit!"
"Now the Su family has become a family that all forces are vying to form an alliance with!"
"At this time, our best option is to form an alliance directly with the Su family!"
Others seemed somewhat opposed at this point.
Washington was also undecided and could only temporarily adjourn the meeting….
The next morning, Washington paced in his official residence in the capital, thinking, his face still covered with worry.
"Immediately summon all governors to an emergency meeting. I have important matters to discuss."
At this moment, Washington also called his deputy and gave instructions.
"Yes, sir."
A deputy withdrew respectfully, and soon representatives from various states arrived one after another.
"Governors, I think you all know how serious the current situation is."
Washington looked around with a serious expression.
"The Su family's power has penetrated deep into our territory. We must find a way to resolve this crisis."
"However, confronting the Su clan head-on is not a good idea. They have strong military power, and if we strike first, the consequences will be disastrous."
The governors looked embarrassed and remained silent.
"I suggest that perhaps we could make a show of goodwill first and send a special envoy to discuss cooperation."
Washington continued.
"The Su family is very powerful now. We can only show our sincerity and try to get them to stop advancing westwards. This may help avoid a bloody battle."
"That's a good idea."
A governor nearby nodded in agreement.
"It will be of no benefit to us to go to war right now. It is better to negotiate first."
Then several others echoed.
"Okay, it looks like everyone agrees."
"I have decided to go to the Su's East Coast base in person to discuss matters with Su Chen in person. You all should return to your states and prepare for the response, and wait for my news."
The governors all expressed their agreement.
Washington quickly set out for the Su base, and a few days later arrived at the gate of a heavily guarded mountain stronghold.
This is naturally the Su family's base in America...
"Excuse me, is Mr. Su Chen here? I am Washington, the chairman of the federal government, and I'm here to visit you."
Old Washington said to the guard.
The guard hurriedly reported in, and soon Su Chen personally came out of the gate to greet him.
"Hey, isn't this Chairman Washington? Why did you come in person?"
Su Chen said with a smile.
Shit! What’s going on?
This old Washington comes to see me in person?
Hahaha!
It seems that this guy has given me enough face...
"Mr. Su Chen, I am here on behalf of the federal government. I hope that both sides can negotiate in a friendly manner and stop this meaningless dispute."
Washington said earnestly.
"Okay, please come in, sit down and talk if you have anything to say!"
Su Chen also greeted Washington like a gentleman.
"Since the Chairman has come to visit me personally, I shall certainly follow his advice."
"Please tell me, how would you like to discuss this?"
The two of them came to the Su family's living room and sat down. Su Chen had someone serve them tea and snacks, and the two of them came up and exchanged greetings.
"Okay, I'll get straight to the point then."
"We hope that you can stop advancing westward and temporarily divide and govern the areas according to the original boundaries. Of course, the eastern part will be under your jurisdiction, and I recognize this on behalf of the federal government."
Washington said directly.
Holy shit! This is a big deal!
This is equivalent to governments from all sides recognizing that Su Chen now has his own autonomous region in America!
What a concept!
This is equivalent to saying that Su Chen might be able to directly establish a country of his own in America in the future!!!
Su Chen naturally couldn't let go of such an opportunity!
But it’s time to install it now, you still have to install it!
"I can agree to a moratorium on westward movement, but only on one condition, which the federal government has to commit to."
After hearing this, Su Chen pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Mr. Su Chen, please tell me what conditions you have."
Old Washington also spoke directly.
"From now on, the Su family will provide equipment resources to various governments. You have no right to interfere in this regard!"
Su Chen said calmly.
Su Chen made a very risky move with this one!
You know, this means that the Su family will become the largest arms dealer in the Americas!
Dealing in arms is Su Chen's main business since he first came to this world!
By controlling the supply of arms, the Su Shi family is like the underground emperor of the entire America region!
Washington's face changed. This condition was a little difficult for him to accept.
"That's fine, but I can't guarantee that other regimes won't interfere."
But due to the situation, he could only bite the bullet and say it.
"Very good, now that we have reached a consensus."
"I will order my Su army to stop advancing westward and occupy the existing territory."
Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.
The two men discussed some details, and then Washington set off on his return journey.
Meanwhile, Tony was busy in the Su factory.
He recently developed a lighter and stronger alloy called adamantium.
This alloy contains the rare element vibranium and is extremely strong.
This was also Su Chen’s biggest gain from his previous trip to Wakanda, that is, adamantium ore!
Tony decided to use this alloy to create the second generation Mark armor.
This set of armor exoskeleton is made entirely of adamantium, so its defense is greatly improved.
"Come, everyone, take a look at my new work."
In the Su's manor, Tony said excitedly to everyone.
