Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1488: Gusanka Night (2)

Completely outrageous!!

The Mayor of Gusanka City is not a pushover!

It’s imaginable that someone in charge of four mines cannot possibly be a pushover who dares not see blood?

The Mayor himself is a tough character. He deals in the mining business, with mines, armed forces, and an army in his hands. There are even slaves in the mines!

For him, killing is just routine.

Someone dared to step on his head like this, and after the initial shock, the Mayor’s ferocity quickly emerged.

“They will pay the price for this stupid madness! I will drag that so-called leader of the South District out from his rat hole, then flay him alive on the bridge of Revolution Road and hang his corpse on a lamppost for a year!”

Saying this, the Mayor cast a stern and angry gaze over the several big shots from various circles in Gusanka, and coldly said, “The rats of the South District should learn who the real ruler of this city is!”

The Mayor’s tough stance and public declaration gave everyone confidence. They all believed that the Mayor’s iron-fisted rule would continue as always, and that these religious lunatics of the South District were fools whose brains were fried by ancient local religions.

They would definitely be crushed by the Mayor’s iron fist!

At that time, everyone in the city hall thought so.

·

The Mayor is a tough character, but he’s not stupid — to operate mines, negotiate with external forces, and even do business with international energy sellers with territory and an army in hand — such a person is definitely not a fool.

He understood very well that the first over a hundred soldiers he brought in were enough to safeguard the North District, but they were insufficient to sweep through the South District.

So, after making a public statement, he didn’t immediately furiously order the army stationed on the artificial river bridges to march into the South District. Instead, he first issued an order: Gusanka City enters a special state, the North District is under curfew!

All merchants must close their businesses, and without permission, no unofficial personnel may go out.

All police were dispatched, delivering the Mayor’s special decree street by street.

By evening, this work was finally completed — fortunately, Gusanka City, especially the North District, is not very large.

Meanwhile, the Mayor was not idle.

In the evening, more military trucks entered the North City of Gusanka!

·

As several military trucks traversed the widest main road in North City, passing by the area in front of the hotel, Chen Yan was watching the spectacle with hotel guests in the restaurant.

He counted a total of twenty-five troop carriers passing by.

Then, it wasn’t over — unexpectedly, two armored cars followed behind — although they looked a bit dated, probably second-hand goods sold by international arms dealers, maybe even “antiques” retired long ago from developed countries.

But, after all, these are genuine military armored cars!!

Two armored cars fully displayed the Mayor’s strength and confidence!

In this place, armies are not unusual — in chaotic, impoverished areas, as long as there is money and food, a group of young men can always be recruited, issued uniforms, given guns, assigned some veteran instructors, and trained for a few days or months to form an army — by African standards.

Here, human life is cheap, even guns are cheap — semi-automatic rifles pervade the world under the sale of international arms dealers, in some places, second-hand rifles are priced by weight!

Light weapons, light infantry, are cheap.

But armored cars are different!

This represents true “military power”!

Firstly, the price of an armored car is incomparable to that of an ordinary truck.

Secondly, you need a qualified armored car driver.

Plus, you need a substantial logistical department, as the daily maintenance and repairs of armored cars require professionals.

Chen Yan roughly calculated that the second wave of the Mayor’s troops probably consisted of seven to eight hundred people, about two battalions.

In addition to two armored cars.

These two armored cars are not meant to sweep the South District — in the narrow streets of the South District, covering almost seventy percent of the area, armored cars cannot pass.

However, these steel monsters, if positioned on the two bridges connecting the South and North Districts, along with a few infantry and simple fortifications, can effectively block the only two roads connecting north and south!

A company-sized army entering the South District would be like sprinkling pepper.

But fully armed forces of two battalions entering the South District can thoroughly overturn it!

The Mayor didn’t wait, even coldly ignoring the South District’s people’s ultimatum, “hand over the Asian man before nightfall.”

The time given by the South District people was before dusk.

But the Mayor acted before the sun set!

Two high-powered loudspeakers were set up on the bridges of Revolution Road and another artificial river, facing the South District.

Using loudspeakers, the Mayor made a speech to the South District, with a very simple message:

He ordered all Gusanka residents to stay home from now on and not to go out, to avoid being accidentally injured when military action is launched.

All Gusanka residents who are willing to provide information on those gangs and fanatics will be rewarded.
