635: Chapter 635: Crazy!
At this moment, at seven in the morning, in the Imperial Capital.
The Military Compound.
Chen Bu’e had just finished his morning exercise, having performed a complete set of military boxing.
As the head of the Military Compound, Chen Bu’e had developed the lifelong habit of exercising each morning, even though he was now past his sixties, he still trained every day.
“Report!” Just at that moment, a guard hastily approached, reporting with a serious tone, “Marshal Chen!
There’s been a major incident!!”
“Discuss it after I’ve taken a shower,” Chen Bu’e, draping on his marshal uniform, intended to go take a bath.
Having just finished military boxing, he was covered in sweat and needed a shower.
However, the guard said gravely, “Marshal Chen!
This matter is extremely urgent!”
“Look at you, all panicked.
Can’t you show some backbone?
You’re a soldier under Chen Bu’e, after all.
What’s the matter that has scared you so much?” Chen Bu’e shook his head and asked.
He casually picked up a kettle nearby and sipped some hot tea.
The guard, with a serious face, said, “We just received a message from the intelligence department…
Lin Shuang…
Lin Shuang has mobilized underworld enforcers from the Fujian Province…
and they have stormed into Kinmen Island, now fighting with the troops stationed there!”
Clang!
Upon hearing this, the kettle in Chen Bu’e’s hand dropped to the floor!
Chen Bu’e turned sharply to stare at the guard, “What did you say?!
Repeat that!”
The guard, trembling, repeated what he had just said!
Chen Bu’e was entirely stunned!
Had Lin Shuang completely lost his mind?!
Mobilizing underworld members…
to invade Kinmen Island?!
This, was it going to start a national war?!
“What exactly is going on?!
Have you clarified why Lin Shuang would suddenly invade Kinmen Island?” Chen Bu’e demanded coldly.
The guard, trembling, reported back, “Your subordinate has clarified…
it appears that…
last night, the Kinmen Island troops deployed a secret special forces team, who infiltrated Fujian Province aiming to assassinate Lin Shuang but failed…
Lin Shuang counter-killed them and discovered their identities.
Hence, Lin Shuang led the underworld enforcers to storm Kinmen Island…”
Listening to his subordinate’s report, Chen Bu’e’s face turned from pale to purple.
“Was it Kinmen Island that struck first?
Those damned separatists of Taiwan Province, who did they think they were provoking?
They just had to provoke Lin Shuang, that madman?!
They really had it coming!” Chen Bu’e couldn’t help but curse out loud.
“Marshal Chen!
What should we do now?
Should we stop it right away?!
Otherwise, I’m afraid the situation will spiral out of control,” the guard asked gravely.
By now, Chen Bu’e had also calmed down, murmuring, “Lin Shuang is just an underworld figure, unrelated to us officially.
This assassination attempt is merely an individual act of the underworld, let him be!”
“What??” The guard was a bit bewildered.
This, what did Marshal Chen mean??
To disregard this matter?
“Marshal Chen…
but invading Kinmen Island could easily provoke a war between the two nations,” the guard said tremblingly.
“Slap!” Chen Bu’e immediately raised his hand and slapped him, “Shut your nonsense!
What nonsense about two nations?
Taiwan Province and Kinmen Island have always been the territory of Yanxia, all part of our Yanxia soil!
Where is this talk of two nations coming from?!”
The guard, frightened, knelt on the ground, repeatedly apologizing.
“Lin Shuang is underworld, he dispatched underworld members to invade, it’s not our official act, unrelated to our official stance.
No one must interfere, no one must inquire.
Got it?!” Chen Bu’e ordered directly.
Lin Shuang, that bastard, although a bit mad in his actions.
But one must admit, it was exactly what Chen Bu’e wanted!
Chen Bu’e had also been displeased with Taiwan Province for a long time, those damned separatists, if not for the premise of peaceful reunification, Chen Bu’e would have longed to send troops to crush them.
Now, finally, Lin Shuang had taken action in his own name as an underworld figure.
That was perfect.
Crushing the spirit of these separatists!
“By the way, didn’t the intelligence report just now say…
Lin Shuang’s enforcers landed on the island but lacked a large number of fishing boats, right?” Chen Bu’e suddenly asked, remembering something.
The guard, kneeling on the ground, nodded tremblingly.
Chen Bu’e took a deep draw from his cigarette, scoffing coldly, “Immediately mobilize resources from the surrounding provinces and municipalities to covertly provide them with fishing boats!
Let them transport all the underworld enforcers to Kinmen Island!”
Upon hearing this, the guard was also stunned.
Mad, truly mad.
Not only had Lin Shuang gone mad.
Even Marshal Chen had lost his senses.
