Hong Kong variety show: Building a century-old family, starting with Hung Hing

Chapter 175 Jia Xu's Advice

"Of course, what else?"

Ruan Wen retorted, "Don't tell me you think he's here to pick me up?"

"Probably!"

The person on the other end of the phone said with a slightly urgent tone, "Jiang Tiansheng is a womanizer. He probably came over just now because of your beauty..."

The FBI investigation revealed that Jiang Tiansheng had so many women in just over a year.

Clearly, Jiang Tiansheng was a lecherous man.

Coincidentally, Ruan Wen is an S-level beauty, so it's quite possible that the other party has taken a liking to her.

"You can take advantage of this opportunity to get close to Jiang Tiansheng..." the FBI director ordered Ruan Wen over the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Wen let out a soft sigh of relief.

She had no other choice but to explain it this way; otherwise, there was no way to explain why Jiang Tiansheng had suddenly come over.

"Jiang Tiansheng!"

As Ruan Wen spoke, his eyes flashed.

Perhaps Ruan Wen came to Hong Kong initially because of threats from the FBI.

However, after arriving in Hong Kong, as time went by, Nguyen Van also developed his own ideas.

She wanted to clear her name through Jiang Tiansheng's backers, and she also wanted to live in the light of day.

Painter, that sounds impressive.

But they can only live in dark places, where they can't see the light of day.

Even if she were very rich, she wouldn't dare to spend money recklessly.

She also wanted to step out of the shadows and into the sunlight, and she felt that the person behind Jiang Tiansheng would definitely be able to help her.

That evening, after get off work, Jiang Tiansheng intended to go to Tianyangsheng's place, but instead received a message from Jia Xu.

He wanted to see Jiang Tiansheng; he had something important to say to him in person.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Tiansheng decided to go see Jia Xu first, and there was no rush to deal with Tian Yangsheng and the others.

"Lord"

After Jiang Tiansheng returned to the study, Jia Xu came to stand before him.

"Mr. Wenhe, please have a seat."

Jiang Tiansheng nodded slightly to Jia Xu, then asked, "Has Mr. Wenhe gotten used to everything since suddenly arriving in this world?"

"Thank you for your concern, my lord."

Jia Xu stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and then said, "I am well."

Jia Xu was quite receptive to this.

I accepted it in just one day.

"Mr. Wenhe said he had something to discuss with me, is that right?" Jiang Tiansheng looked at Jia Xu and asked.

"May I ask, my lord, do you have the ambition to conquer the world?" Jia Xu asked with a serious expression, cupping his hands in greeting.

"To conquer the world?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng's expression turned serious.

If this were during the Three Kingdoms period, he would definitely answer yes, but the world is different; conquering the world is too difficult.

"Mr. Wenhe, to be honest..." Jiang Tiansheng looked at Jia Xu with a serious expression and explained his thoughts.

Jiang Tiansheng doesn't currently have such grand ambitions as to conquer the world.

He only wanted to focus on developing the family's strength.

If Chiang Kai-shek could take control of the entire island of Sumatra, it would greatly benefit the Chiang family's power.

Upon hearing Jiang Tiansheng's thoughts, Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord is wise."

If Jiang Tiansheng had actually answered "yes" just now, he would definitely have tried to dissuade him.

Through the memories implanted by the system, Jia Xu also gained a general understanding of the world.

In today's world, it's not something you can achieve or reach the top just because you want to.

Especially those weapons and equipment.

In ancient warfare, the generals and soldiers were the ones who determined the outcome of a battle.

In today's world, the only thing that can determine the outcome of a war is advanced weaponry.

Especially the nuclear weapons that threaten the entire world.

Many countries in the world possess nuclear weapons; what can you possibly achieve?

Unless you can develop a technology that can eliminate the effects of nuclear radiation from nuclear weapons.

Otherwise, if a nuclear war breaks out, the whole world will be destroyed.

“If it’s just about seizing Sumatra, that’s easy,” Jia Xu said to Jiang Tiansheng with a confident expression.

Jia Xu knew all about Jiang Tiansheng's abilities without hiding them from him.

"Oh? Mr. Wenhe, do you have any ideas or plans?" Jiang Tiansheng looked at Jia Xu and asked with curiosity and a hint of expectation.

"My lord, you can..."

As Jia Xu began to narrate, Jiang Tiansheng's eyes lit up.

According to Jia Xu, Jiang Tiansheng now has troops at his disposal, although they have not yet materialized, but they are still an army of a thousand men.

We have weapons, and while we wouldn't say they're the most advanced in the world, they're close enough.

The main issue is that Jiang Tiansheng's military factories haven't been built yet; these all need to be constructed.

To build these weapons, you definitely need your own territory.

The simplest way is to fight.

First, occupy a city on Sumatra, then build a military factory to sustain the war effort and expand the size of the army.

According to Jia Xu's estimate, Sumatra Island could be acquired in a maximum of three years.

Fortunately, the international situation is currently in the midst of the Cold War between the US and Russia, so neither side is paying much attention to the situation in Southeast Asia.

For Jiang Tiansheng, this was an excellent opportunity.

"There is one thing I hope you will remember, my lord," Jia Xu said, his expression turning serious. "Before the mission is accomplished, you must not send anyone you have connections with to the battlefield on Sumatra Island, lest you implicate yourself."

Jiang Tiansheng understood Jia Xu's meaning.

If this relationship were exposed before he had fully developed his power, it would be very disadvantageous for him.

As the saying goes, "When the cannons roar, gold pours in."

What is the war about?

It's basically sending money.

Jiang Tiansheng does own many military factories, but let's not forget the premise: producing these weapons and equipment also requires money.

The losses are even greater after the damage is caused during war.

Jiang Tiansheng needs to earn money to support the army, and perhaps he will repay the army after he actually takes over Sumatra.

"My lord, there's one more thing. The Hung Hing Society needs to relinquish its leader position as soon as possible." Jia Xu looked at Jiang Tiansheng with a serious expression and said, "This position offers no benefit to you at the moment, only harm."

If initially, being the leader of Hung Hing was very beneficial to Chiang Tin-sing's development, now it's all bad.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng nodded slightly.

Jiang Tiansheng had already thought of this, but he just hadn't done it yet.

Now that Jia Xu has given him a heads-up, he will definitely put this matter on his agenda.

"Mr. Wenhe, is there anything else we should be aware of?" Jiang Tiansheng asked Jia Xu.

"My lord, if possible, it would be best to master our own nuclear weapons within three years." Jia Xu looked at Jiang Tiansheng with a serious expression.

Nuclear weapons are a nation's most powerful asset; a country without nuclear weapons can never be considered a great power.

“I have handed this matter over to Black Tower.” Jiang Tiansheng nodded slightly.

Black Tower is arguably the only truly talented scientist under Jiang Tiansheng's command.

There was no other way; she was all alone, so the burden had to be placed entirely on her shoulders.

"My lord, Sumatra comprises seven provinces. I believe that we should prioritize capturing Jambi province first," Jia Xu said earnestly to Jiang Tiansheng, offering his advice.

"Why?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng looked at Jia Xu with curiosity.

Of the seven provinces on the entire island of Sumatra, Jiang Tiansheng had considered South Sumatra, West Sumatra, and North Sumatra, but had not considered Jambi Province.

"Lord."

Jia Xu cupped his hands slightly, then said earnestly, "Jambi Province is located between South Sumatra Province and Riau and West Sumatra Provinces... By occupying Jambi Province, the entire island of Sumatra can be divided in two..."

If war breaks out, Java will definitely send troops to support them, with the nearest direction being Lampung Province.

The army from Java must have landed in Lampung province and then marched to Jambi province.

From the easternmost point of Lampung province, the shortest distance to Jambi province is nearly 500 kilometers.

Given the military strength of Indochina, with so few chariots, the army must have been composed entirely of foot soldiers, covering a distance of a thousand miles.

They can then wait in comfort and wait for the opportune moment.

Moreover, Jambi province is located in the center of Sumatra, directly dividing the island in two.

They could resist the counterattack of the Indo-Ni army while building their own military bases.

Once we have the resources, we can advance westward and first occupy Riau Province, West Sumatra Province, North Sumatra Province, and Aceh Special Administrative Region.

Adding Jambi province, that makes a total of five provinces.

After taking control of these five provinces, they will have a strong rear base and can launch a major counter-offensive against Indonesia, starting with Jambi province and attacking South Sumatra and Lampung provinces.

After taking these two provinces, the entire island of Sumatra would be under their control.

At that time, whether they choose to defend their country and establish a new one, or continue to annex Indochina's territory, the initiative will be in their hands.

Therefore, the beginning is very important.

Too far south won't work, as the Indian army's strength is too great and the losses will be too high. Too far north won't work either, as the distance is too great and the strategic depth is too short.

After listening, Jiang Tiansheng nodded in agreement.

Now that he has a professional strategist, Jiang Tiansheng no longer needs to consider many things personally.

"My lord, I request permission to personally go to Sumatra to oversee the situation," Jia Xu suddenly said with a serious expression.

"this….."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, your health..."

Jiang Tiansheng had to consider these things.

If Jia Xu were in his thirties or forties now, he would definitely agree without hesitation.

But Jia Xu is already over seventy years old, and will soon be eighty.

If he were to suffer any health problems, Jiang Tiansheng would be the one who would suffer the most.

"Rest assured, my lord, Xu's health is excellent now."

Jia Xu patted his chest and said with a serious expression.

He could feel that his body was feeling very good now, as if he were back in his fifties.

After careful consideration, Jiang Tiansheng finally agreed.

Someone must be personally in charge of command on Sumatra Island; otherwise, the army will be a disorganized mess.

Jiang Tiansheng himself certainly wouldn't go to oversee things.

He also needs to provide sustainable funding for the upcoming major battles.

After careful consideration, Jia Xu is the optimal solution.

"Wangliang"

Then, Jiang Tiansheng called Wangliang over and instructed him, "Wangliang, from today onwards, you will be Wenhe's personal bodyguard. No matter what happens, Wenhe's safety must be the top priority, understand?"

After much deliberation, only the Six Sword Slaves could send someone.

"Yes, Master."
