Entering the City

Seeing the villagers growing more excited, Su Jie threw out the last bomb and announced the benefits of joining the Security Department.

"Those who wish to sign up for the Security Department now, come to the right side here to sign. After screening, you can become a member of the Jieko Security Department.

At the same time, I solemnly announce that anyone who joins the Security Department will receive medical care from Jieko Company if their family members fall ill, their children can attend school for free, and they will enjoy a monthly salary of 4,000 Hua Yuan.

If injured in a battle assigned by the Security Department, the company will subsidize the salary. In case of death, besides a large subsidy, the family will be taken care of by Jieko Company, with the elderly being provided for in their old age and children raised to adulthood.

The Security Department has only one goal: to protect the employees and property of Jieko Company, and to strike down all organizations and forces that wish to harm Jieko Company, including the Mande United Army I mentioned. Are you willing to join?"

As soon as he said this, the villagers, who were already fired up, became even more excited.

Such good salary and benefits were almost ten times their previous wages.

Coupled with other perks and benefits, even the villagers who had initially wanted to back out were now rushing to sign up.

With such treatment, it was far better than going to serve the Zen Country government, even risking their lives.

It's just a matter of risking their lives!

They had nothing to lose anyway, and with money, who would be afraid?

In an instant, the registration point was almost swamped by villagers.

Not only young men were queuing, but even middle-aged men and women in their forties and fifties had come.

Regarding warfare, the Zen Country had always had a fierce populace. After all, it was a multi-ethnic country, and the wars caused by the conflicts between various ethnic groups over the years had deeply penetrated their bones, so they had no psychological burden or fear.

"Don't be nervous. It's our time to control Mande City now. Others should be the ones who are afraid."

Su Jie walked down from the high platform and, sensing Liu Yingying's fear and unease, naturally comforted her.

"Are we going too far by doing this?"

Liu Yingying didn't doubt Su Jie's ability to achieve it. She had always thought Jieko Company was just an ordinary business, but now it was undertaking the major task of overthrowing the local warlord's rule. She found it hard to adjust.

"If others are going to plunder our property, aren't we allowed to resist?"

Su Jie patted Liu Yingying on the shoulder and chuckled, "Look at these enthusiastic villagers eager to join our Jieko Security Department. This already proves we are on the right path."

Liu Yingying hesitated for a long time before finally nodding.

Even if she wanted to object now, it was impossible. Su Jie's will was not something she could influence.

"Su Jie, you are right."

Biting her lips, Liu Yingying made up her mind.

"You'll see my success. From now on, this will become Jieko Company's territory, and we'll take whatever we want."

Stroking Liu Yingying's delicate face, Su Jie did not hide his ambition for the Mande City region.

Looking at Su Jie's confident and ambitious eyes, Liu Yingying's heart inexplicably began to race, feeling that the man before her had become even more charming.

After Jieko Company announced the establishment of the Security Department, it swept through over a hundred villages and towns around Mande City in just three days.

Jieko employees, who had previously gone to the countryside to purchase poisonous insects, transformed into officers recruiting soldiers, going door-to-door with loudspeakers to spread the word.

Upon hearing the news, applicants poured in, and recruitment stations in every town were packed with villagers.

After three days of selection, eight thousand young and strong men officially became members of the Security Department, and this was after a rigorous selection process.

If they had been less strict, the numbers would have skyrocketed.

Jieko Company's major move was too fast. The Mande United Army hadn't even reacted before the Jieko Security Department was established.

The newly formed Jieko Security Department, after simple training, received orders to eliminate the Mande United Army, a malignant tumor that had plagued Mande City for many years.

Suddenly, on the dirt roads leading from various villages to Mande City, old tractors, vans, and tricycles were filled with people.

Members of the Jieko Security Department, wearing blue uniforms and carrying spears, old guns, and dynamite, sat in the back of the tractors, forming long lines that converged from all directions towards Mande City.

In front of a police station in Mande City.

Several police officers stared dumbfounded at the endless, vast dragon of tractors approaching.

The black smoke billowing from the tractors rose, almost obscuring half the sky. From a distance, it looked like a steel torrent composed of tanks and armored vehicles.

"What's going on? Are they rebelling?"

One policeman was filled with confusion and bewilderment. But before he could figure it out, the sound of intense gunfire erupted.

Bang bang bang!

The range and accuracy of the old guns were terrible. The Security Department members in the tractor beds aimed roughly, and the bullets flew off in unknown directions.

Unfortunately, these police officers were not elites. On the contrary, they were accustomed to indulging in all sorts of vices and were corrupt officials. When it came to a life-and-death struggle, they lacked the courage to draw their guns.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't kill us. We surrender, we surrender."

A group of police officers lay on the ground, trembling. The barrier was knocked down, and a large number of Jieko Security members disarmed them without any resistance.

"Serves you right for bullying people every day."

A group of Jieko Security members grabbed the police officers. Some of them had been bullied and extorted by these officers before, so naturally, they received a beating, making the police officers wail.

After a small interlude, the Security Department army marched grandly into Mande City.

The residents of the city were equally bewildered. Then, under the guidance of some Jieko Company employees, the Security Department members, with clear divisions of labor, stormed into Mande City's casinos, brothels, opium factories, scam centers, and the mansions of the powerful.

All of these were Lu Wenbo's businesses, as well as the officials and dignitaries colluding with him.

Lu Wenbo had been a tyrant in Mande City for many years, already existing as an emperor in his own right.

The number of people colluding with Mande City was countless, and these businesses were also developed and expanded by him, becoming the cash cow to maintain the Mande United Army.

Lu Wenbo had not stationed many people at these businesses, and the weapons were also backward, with a small number of firearms.

Because in his eyes, he, Lu Wenbo, was the supreme ruler of Mande City; who would dare to provoke him with the courage of a bear and the heart of a leopard?

Therefore, when the members of the Security Department arrived, facing thousands of Security Department members charging aggressively, the thugs from these scam parks and casinos were dumbfounded.

Even though the Jacko Security members were only holding crude guns and hunting rifles, and even though Jacko Security was also a motley crew, under the clash of these two groups of amateurs, they were still easily routed, with most of them even directly surrendering.

In just a few short hours, Mande City was completely occupied by the Security Department.

Besides Lu Wenbo's businesses, there were also key locations such as the local power station, government buildings, television stations, airports, and granaries.

The number of people arrested and detained reached seven to eight hundred, most of whom were Lu Wenbo's henchmen and colluding officials.

It wasn't until this time that Lu Wenbo, far away at the military camp, received the news and flew into a rage.
