Chapter 543: Punishment Station


The signing ceremony was held at Heroes' Square.The banquet after the ceremony is held at the Allah Hotel next to the square.This is the tallest landmark building in the capital of Annam, and in a sense, it is one of the few places here that can truly keep up with the international trend.Even after several screenings, there were still a lot of people attending the dinner.There is no live broadcast here, but everyone is aware of the importance of this meandering.In other words, this dinner will determine the future direction of Annan.In the past many years, the relationship between Annan and Zhongzhou has not been very close, they are afraid of the majesty of the overlord, and they dare not dare to blatantly provoke, but as the star country and other forces have joined forces to support and try to limit the chess pieces of Zhongzhou, they will always come out with some moths to add to Zhongzhou.Naturally, there are no big losses, but disgusting people really have a hand.There are many such things, and under various propaganda offensives, the whole of Annam will naturally harbor some kind of inexplicable hostility towards its powerful neighbor in the north.Maintaining the tradition of often being a demon, is it to add some trouble to Zhongzhou, so as to ask for a little charity and a little development from the master behind it, this is the direction of Annan before, and it is also the reason why they are relatively backward.If you really want to talk about the geographical advantage, Annan may not be the best, but at least it is not too bad, in a sense, their backwardness has a lot to do with the game between Middle-earth and the Star Kingdom.What Xingguo hopes for is to have a neighbor who causes trouble from time to time at the door of Zhongzhou's house, but he definitely doesn't want this chess piece to develop too well, and Dongdao is a lesson from the past.And Middle-earth will not tolerate the rise of a troublesome neighbor.Although Annan can get some so-called assistance from the Star Kingdom and the European continent from time to time, but for this thing, they are actually facing double pressure, and for a long time, they have been trapped in this stalemate, and they can't break this embarrassing predicament, they can only get worse and worse.And now this banquet, for Annan, is actually an opportunity to break Annan's predicament.The signing of the "Tiannan Treaty" means that Annan has completely handed over its future destiny to Zhongzhou to control, and the influence of the star country Europe on this place will be completely suppressed by Zhongzhou, and Annan's direction will change accordingly, becoming a reliable neighbor close to Zhongzhou and must safeguard the interests of Zhongzhou.Just like Li Tianlan's speech at the signing ceremony.Li Tianlan said in his speech that Annan's sale of Tiannan to Zhongzhou was a very wise choice, which further increased the close relationship between the two sides and made the friendship between the two sides stronger.He also said that there will be some good changes in the life of the people of Annam in the future, and believes that Tiannan's entry into Zhongzhou will open up a new situation for both sides, and the significance will be extremely far-reaching.Sounds like all nonsense?

A lot of people don't think so.Even if it is a dog, he will be rewarded with two bones after being beaten, let alone Annan?

Li Tianlan's deterrent power is indeed strong enough, strong enough that Zhongzhou can take the 100,000 square kilometers of Tiannan into his arms without spending a penny.Li Tianlan's speech was also strong enough.But all things are not just one strong, and when the time is right, Huairou is also necessary.Now that the power of Zhongzhou has been directly crushed from Annan's face, after the signing of the "Tiannan Treaty", what is the point of blindly being strong in the future?

There must also be a limit to showing off your might.The other party has been subdued, and he keeps chattering, not only is it not interesting, but it will also increase the other party's rebellious psychology if he doesn't get it right.Therefore, after being strong, a series of gentle and appeased means will inevitably come, reflecting the real 'friendship'.Annan's geographical location is not bad, there is no restriction of the Star Kingdom, and he took refuge in Zhongzhou, and now Zhongzhou is willing to help...

Combined with this series of conditions, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as Annan himself is honest enough, in a few decades, their lives will definitely be much better than now.And Annan is now close to Tiannan and Xiyue in Zhongzhou, these two areas, all of which are areas with strong radiation capacity of the new group, once the relationship with Annan changes, the development of Tiannan and Xiyue will inevitably radiate to Annan and stimulate Annan's economy, that is to say, although it seems helpless to hand over their fate to Zhongzhou, as long as they are willing to be dogs, there are still a lot of benefits.The signing of the "Tiannan Treaty" laid the foregone conclusion that Annan would need to survive in the shadow of Middle-earth in the future, but how to maintain this situation for a long time, dispel Annan's resentment, and make them willing, these are the things that Middle-earth needs to consider next.Just like Li Tianlan said in his speech.Let the life of the Annan people change for the better in the future.This thing must be done, but it cannot affect everyone in a short period of time, and the best way is to support the so-called typical.Annan currently does not have a world-class wealthy family in the true sense, Li Tianlan's plan is to first use the resources of Zhongzhou and Tiannan to support some families to become real big families, and then select a few of the most loyal to become world-class giants.In this process, they will inevitably rely on Li Tianlan and Zhongzhou, and by the time they grow up, they will no longer be able to get rid of Zhongzhou's control, and their identity will naturally become a pro-Zhongzhou group within Annan.With a clear group, it's easy to do things next, just find a way to expand the circle of this group.Moreover, Shengshi Fund also needs to cover most areas of Annan in the next few years, which also requires the cooperation of major families.When Annan's group close to Zhongzhou grows up, coupled with the East Palace, the two-pronged approach, and Li Tianlan's deterrence, it is enough to take Annan to death, in that case, the voice of Zhongzhou will be the only voice of Annan, and the two are nominally two sides, but in fact they are already one.And today's banquet is the beginning of Li Tianlan's plan.Li Tianlan did not return to Zhongzhou after the signing ceremony, but participated in the banquet with a face, which was a clear signal that he intended to release to Annan.He stayed here, not because he was idle, but because he was giving all the forces in Annan a chance.Whoever can really seize this opportunity will have the opportunity to become the top wealthy family in Annan in the future, with a powerful force that can influence this country.Wise people know this.Therefore, countless people have sharpened their heads and want to join this banquet in every possible way.The family with a good foundation in Annan wants to go further, those who are in a bad situation want to change their lives, and those who are in a desperate situation want to fight hard, each has its own ideas, no matter what, there is always no harm in giving it a try, even if you don't get the promise from Zhongzhou and Li Tianlan, it's good to be familiar.Li Tianlan sat in the cigar room of the banquet hall.The glass walls of the cigar room are transparent to the outside, and the location is very good, so you can clearly see the increasing number of guests at the banquet.He casually put the cigar in his hand aside, took a sip of tea, looked at the information on the side, suddenly smiled, and said to Ma Si, who was sitting opposite him: "Why don't you draw a lot casually?"

”The corners of Ma Si's mouth moved, and he said helplessly: "It's good if you're happy." ”He knew what the information Li Tianlan was pointing to was, it was the information of Annan's current various families, each of which was very detailed, and it was deliberately collected by the Eastern Imperial Palace and Zhongzhou during this time.No matter which one you choose, you can help the East Palace quickly open up the situation in a certain area by the way."

You can just do it."

Li Tianlan pointed to the information in front of him: "After going out for a while, if you see something pleasing to the eye, I will also tell you." ”Ma Si raised his head and glanced deeply at Li Tianlan and nodded.Strictly speaking, Li Huacheng fully supports Li Tianlan to preside over this signing ceremony, and there are many sayings in it.First of all, Tiannan joined Zhongzhou because of Li Tianlan, and let Li Tianlan preside over this ceremony, and the reason is very good.And then there's the so-called credit.This merit and honor is so great that any director is extremely moved.To put it bluntly, if Li Tianlan is not aggressive, just by virtue of this one thing, his position in Zhongzhou is already unshakable, and he doesn't need to do anything else at all.Marth looked at his watch.7:15 p.m.This will be the time of the news, and the news will definitely spare no effort to report this great achievement.In the same way, at this moment, Zhongzhou and Annan are sorting out the materials of Li Tianlan's speech just now, collecting some relevant information about Tiannan, which will be sorted out in the fastest time, and then will be directly published in the textbooks of students in Zhongzhou and Annan.Maybe these contents will not make countless students memorize the full text so frustrated, but in the future exams, there will definitely be something similar to Tiannan's joining of Zhongzhou and which marshal of Zhongzhou has a direct relationship?

A: Dongcheng is invincible, B: Ye Dongsheng, C, Li Tianlan, or is it similar to which of the following provinces promoted by Li Shuai to join the Zhongzhou sequence?

A: Tiannan, B, Beihai, C, Wu Yue sent sub-questions.Being able to do this can really be said to have no regrets in this life.And then there's power.It is an honor to preside over the signing ceremony, and the banquet after the ceremony is the power given to Li Tianlan by Li Huacheng.This power allows him to treat the whole of Annan as a toy, fiddling with it as he likes.Everyone in the major groups wants to develop their own power and make their voices heard in Annan, and in some cases, this is also a capital that cannot be ignored.But now it is Li Tianlan who leads the team, which means that others can't interfere at all.Taking this opportunity, as long as Li Tianlan is willing, he can integrate Tiannan and Annan in a very short period of time to form a stronger force.And now, Li Tianlan did not refuse this power, but he also handed over the power to choose the object of support to Ma Si.Ma Si was the first deputy palace master of the East Imperial Palace.At the same time, he is also Li Huacheng's absolute confidant.Doing so is tantamount to returning part of the power given to him by Li Huacheng, and it also expresses Li Tianlan's trust.I don't know if it's an illusion, looking at Li Tianlan sitting on the sofa with a calm expression, Ma Si always felt that he seemed to be a little different from before."

I'll pick a suitable puppet for the East Palace."

Ma Si said seriously.Li Tianlan nodded and pushed the information around him over.The signing ceremony was a show of force.After the ceremony, it was time for the sugar distribution in the Middle Continent and the East Palace.Ma Si's task now is to select a few suitable targets at this banquet, let a few targets feel it, and let others see how sweet the sugar in Zhongzhou and the East Palace is.There was a gentle knock on the door of the cigar room.A middle-aged man walked in quickly, came to Li Tianlan, and said in a low voice: "Li Shuai, Speaker Li Songping is here." ”Li Tianlan's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Let him in." ”The middle-aged man nodded and left quietly, and the next moment, Li Songping's slightly thin figure appeared at the door.He changed out of the clothes he wore at the signing ceremony, with a kind and untruthful smile on his face, and his voice was extremely gentle: "Li Shuai, the banquet will officially start in ten minutes, do you want to show up and say something?"

”"There's no need."

Li Tianlan glanced at him and said lightly: "After the banquet starts, I will go out to have a look." ”"Okay."

Li Songping sat down on the sofa on the other side, nodded with a smile: "Then I'll talk to Li Shuai here." ”Li Tianlan turned his head to look at Li Songping and watched quietly.One second, two seconds, ten seconds, half a minute...

His gaze didn't shift in the slightest.The smile on Li Songping's face gradually became a little unnatural, he touched his face a little funny, and smiled reluctantly: "Li Shuai, is there anything on my face?"

”"Nope."

Li Tianlan shook his head: "I'm just a little curious. ”Li Songping looked puzzled.Then he heard Li Tianlan's voice, faint, without ridicule and banter, just that calm, but with an incomparably domineering arrogance."

Who told you to sit down?"

Li Songping's expression froze completely.Who made you sit down.Who sat you down?

Who made you sit down!

His face turned red.The so-called city government, the so-called scheming is completely useless at this moment.This is Annan.He, Le Songping, Speaker of the Annan Assembly.At the banquet that Annan prepared for Li Tianlan, he didn't even have the qualifications to sit down?!

Li Songping's eyes flashed with extremely clear anger and shame.He didn't even hide such emotions, and he couldn't hide them at all.To put it simply, Li Songping completely broke the defense."

Stand up."

Li Tianlan crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa in a more comfortable position.Li Songping stared at Li Tianlan for a moment.He hoped that Li Tianlan would give him an explanation, no matter how perfunctory it was.For example, he can treat Annan well, but he will not forgive himself for some things he has done.Or maybe he represents the will of Middle-earth and tests his so-called loyalty.Or something else...

Even if Li Tianlan says that I feel a little uncomfortable when you sit down, he can stand up.What he needs is an explanation, or a reason, any kind of reason.But Li Tianlan didn't give any explanation, nor did he give any reason.This is his request.This is his order.Stand up.The anger in Li Songping's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a gloom.His already short body seemed to be even more rickety.Little by little, he got up from the sofa, and a smile appeared on his face again: "It's just right, I'm a little tired from sitting." ”Li Tianlan didn't answer his words, but casually pointed to the teacup: "Pour the tea." ”
