Chapter 2123 - 2123

This truly was a thrilling match, the opening game of the Valle Premier League, ultimately ending in a 2-2 draw.

The spectators on site, along with the viewers watching the live broadcast, were thoroughly entertained, feeling they hadn't had enough. The enjoyment of the sportsmanship aspect reached an inexplicable peak.

The environmentally friendly stadium for the match and the logistical security provisions were excellently executed, earning praise from all sides.

The generated traffic from the match was immense, and with the promotion by the operators behind the scenes, the influence of the Valle League extended indefinitely, with the potential to become the number one league in the world.

Of course, the commercial revenue from the match, according to estimates from relevant departments, could reach the billion US dollar level. What do you say, isn't that thrilling? Naturally, the revenue and odds from football betting are included as well, haha...

The world's attention has increasingly focused on Valer Football. It is believed it can positively develop forward, and this is the result Liu Zhizhong desires.

Meanwhile, while watching this match, Liu Zhizhong and the President of Balse, Luerlaco, were drinking and enjoying the exciting game while exchanging views and reaching consensus regarding a vision for the future between the two nations.

Liu Zhizhong put forth his conditions, either for the Valle Republic's land army to lease land in Balse or to purchase land and establish overseas bases.

The objective of this stationing, organized at the regimental level, is mainly for training, maintaining combat readiness, and sustaining regional stability, especially in areas with Valle investments.

Relatively speaking, this army stationing will transform into a local armed police force of the Valle People's Army stationed in Balse. It won't have large-scale invasion capabilities but it must possess police functions, anti-terror capabilities, and combat readiness.

Or, alternatively, Luerlaco's government could find ways to aggressively conduct social security rectification campaigns, eradicating/cleansing all gang/criminal organizations, decisively eliminating these destabilizing elements. Beginning with a crackdown on protectors, not leaving a single one, completely eradicated without any leniency.

Only when the social security reaches a satisfactory level will Valle Capital consider entering Balse, impacting sectors such as agriculture, industry, and tourism, while trying not to clash with the descendants of Little Japan who operate businesses there.

Liu Zhizhong's perspective is, if you're not going to address Balse's social security issues, then I will; either seriously handle them, and then we discuss cooperation.

Ultimately, Luerlaco chose the former option because his government is simply incapable of direct anti-gang actions, which would truly have a widespread impact and even potentially harm some vital interests. The rhetoric of eradicating crime sounds simple but internally might become chaotic due to the existence of some protectors, making the crackdown challenging.

Allowing stationing is a significant show of sincerity by Luerlaco.

However, he also emphasized that stationing troops cannot fundamentally solve Balse's social security issues; it can only ensure Valle Capital's and industries' interests in Balse. Beyond this, the benefits to others are limited, offering little substantial help or contribution to improving social security.

Thus, after some discussion, Luerlaco authorized powers, hoping Liu Zhizhong could employ special methods to aid the entire Balse Republic in conducting a vigorous top-down anti-crime movement that would be impactful.

How to approach this?

After pondering for a moment, Liu Zhizhong devised a plan and said, "Our diplomatic relations have reached a presidential level, and exchanges in various fields are about to unfold. Thus, can we cooperate in the realm of counter-terrorism and crime elimination?"

"Uh…" Luerlaco was quite surprised, but soon realized something, saying, "Of course we can cooperate! Specifically, how would we cooperate?"

"The Valle People's Republic's counter-terrorism peacekeeping forces can be mass deployed in Balse as the first step. The second step involves Balse's counter-terrorism peacekeeping forces and public security police forces issuing national-level counter-terrorism notifications, declaring all gangs engaged in illegal gambling, prostitution, and similar operations as terrorist organizations, severely jeopardizing the safety of citizens' lives and property, necessitating a harsh crackdown. Order these practitioners to cease operations, stop conducting business, surrender for leniency, submit all firearms and ammunition, hand over illicit profits for confiscation to gain zero penalty treatment, restoring their status; all deadlines are set within a month. Beyond this timeframe, our two nations' counter-terrorism peacekeeping forces will initiate joint operations across Balse, striking down perpetrators on the spot without compensation, wounding without treatment, arresting successfully and punishing severely with stringent judiciary measures — no leniency at all. Henceforth, temporary prison facilities must be established in each state of Balse to hold relevant personnel. Mr. Luerlaco, only through nationwide, extensive, net-like armed clearance can Balse's social security issues be thoroughly resolved, offering citizens a peaceful environment for living, working, and learning, and providing businesses secure investment and entrepreneurial opportunities! The Valle Republic will stand by you to safeguard the future and strongly support the economy; we will always stand with you!"

Damn it!

Liu Zhizhong's words thoroughly stirred up Luerlaco, this old fellow, and with clenched teeth, he slammed the table saying, "Mr. President's approach is truly a great plan! Yes, let's do it just like this! In times like this, no matter the circumstances, we must strike rigorously. With your inclusion and support, I'm confident of victory!"

"Great! Let us fight together and welcome the victory's arrival!"

"Fight together! Welcome victory!"

The two were genuinely excited, raising their champagne glasses, clinking them heavily, and then downing them in one gulp!

An outstanding football match has laid the foundation for cooperation between the two countries and set the tone for the future—this is the charm of football, hahaha...

Three days later, Luerlaco returned to Balse to begin secret meetings with the top ranks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the police department.

Meanwhile, Liu Zhizhong and his think tank, along with high-level officials from the military sector also started secret meetings, preparing for an international operation to clear the obstacles for Valle investments in Balse, laying a solid foundation for the century-long plan ahead.

On the Valle Republic's side, reactions were swift, with the quick assemblage of counter-terrorism forces, ready for deployment at any time. Meanwhile, the special intelligence troops are arriving in Balse for intelligence gathering and analysis, with big data technology making this upcoming counter-terrorism peacekeeping and stabilization storm across Balse even more fierce!

Finally, after nearly half a month of secret talks and negotiations, Luerlaco has completed all the preliminary preparations...
