Chapter 1867: Chapter 1000_2

Li Yu let out a long sigh and thought for a moment before saying:

“So, currently, apart from this boy, there are over a dozen others hiding near Oil City, right?”

Dapao quickly replied:

“Yes, these bastards are quite sneaky. They haven’t even told this kid where they are, and then they have this kid obtain the information before finding an opportunity to signal them. So, to find the others, we have to let this kid go out

and use him as our bait to lure out the dozen people behind.”

Li Yu pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and lit it.

He took a slow puff.

Whoosh—

He exhaled the smoke.

He said to Dapao, “Alright, we must catch these people and see if we can learn more about the Northern Federation from them.

Just make sure you’re careful!”

Dapao nodded and said, “Understood. We’ll act shortly, first let this kid out, and we’ll follow him in the dark and ambush them when the time comes.”

“Hmm, you guys do that first. Also, the matter of going to Southern Paradise, let’s put that on hold for now and talk about it once we’ve caught that group of people,” Li Yu said.

“Okay.”

Li Yu took off the headset and handed it over to Second Uncle, who continued to inquire about the Northern Federation.

Li Yu stood up and walked to the wall where two maps were hung.

The maps were large, occupying the entire right wall.

Li Yu took out a red pen from a box and searched the maps for a while.

He finally found the location of the Northern Federation.

Northern Province, Yidu Town.

He estimated the distance using a ruler; it was about 1800 kilometers.

Just 200 kilometers short of 2000 kilometers.

This distance was very far.

It’s about the same as when they went to Myanmar, the furthest they’d ever traveled in Southeast Asia.

This far distance is not easy to cover.

At that time, they spent nearly two months in Southeast Asia.

And most of the time was spent on traveling.

If a conflict really occurs, whether they send people over or the Northern Federation sends people, excluding helicopters, if only coming from the ground, it would take at least a week.

The logistics pressure is enormous, and he knows it very well.

Thus, with such a long distance from the Northern Federation, and having Oil City acting as a buffer, the threat to Big Camphor Tree Base isn’t that severe.

However, this makes Oil City somewhat dangerous.

Because Oil City is almost as far from the Northern Federation as it is from Big Camphor Tree Base.

Also, it’s said that the Northern Federation has helicopters, so Oil City must send additional personnel there.

Fortunately, Xiao Jun and Dapao brought dozens of combat personnel over, which happened to be a coincidence.

While thinking about this, his finger suddenly hurt.

He lowered his head to look at his forefinger, unconsciously realizing the cigarette had burned to the end.

Li Yu threw the cigarette butt onto the ground and stamped it out.

He lifted his head and saw everyone had expressions of severity and concern.

This is the strongest force Big Camphor Tree Base has ever encountered!

And they’re the most passive this time.

Only after being noticed did they become aware!

If Dapao hadn’t interrogated this person, they probably still wouldn’t know about the Northern Federation’s existence.

This information gap made them feel urgency and crisis for the first time.

A sense that there are always better people, greater forces beyond one’s knowledge.

Second Uncle put down the military radio.

Synchronized the information with everyone and finally said:

“From the current situation, the Northern Federation has two factions.

The Sima Family, which advocates plundering development, constantly attacking other forces to seize supplies and equipment.

Yuan Zhi, who advocates cooperative development, unsure if it’s true.

It’s said the two families aren’t united; if this is the case, we can unite with Yuan Zhi to resist the Sima Family.”

Uncle pondered and said:

“Makes sense, but since we captured people sent by the Sima Family, would Governor Yuan Zhi also send people over?”

“Not necessarily. If the Sima Family’s people don’t get along with Yuan Zhi, they wouldn’t inform Yuan Zhi about us, would they?” Li Gang said beside him.

Third Uncle saw Li Yu deep in thought and asked:

“Xiao Yu, what are you thinking?”

Li Yu sighed and said:

“Nothing, I’m just thinking about how both the Sima Family and that so-called Governor Yuan Zhi are only the boy’s side of the story.

Good or bad isn’t that important.

What matters is the objective fact that they have targeted us, and their purpose remains unclear, so we must assume the worst.

They want to deal with us!

I’m thinking, if they start attacking us, how should we counter them!”

After hearing Li Yu’s words, everyone fell silent.

Especially Second Uncle, who, upon hearing that the Northern Federation has ten thousand people, was somewhat apprehensive, preferring not to conflict with the Northern Federation unless necessary.

Yet unexpectedly, Li Yu was already contemplating how to counterattack the Northern Federation.

It truly is….

Third Uncle looked at Li Yu, smiled, and said, “I think Xiao Yu’s thoughts are not without reason; you should always plan for the worst-case scenario.

Additionally, since the Northern Federation allows anyone to enter, I’d like to tour the Northern Federation and conduct a field study.”

“Dad! You’re saying you want to go to the Northern Federation? It’s too dangerous!” Li Gang said with concern.
