I'm a warlord in Africa!

Chapter 6: I have a great scholar to argue for me
Damn, it’s not worth it!

Seeing the livelihood attribute suddenly drop by two points, Cheng Mu cursed in his heart.

He estimated that his act of giving money to the army had finally accumulated to a qualitative change, thus meeting the conditions for triggering the badge.

Cheng Mu was also helpless about this.

If we don’t develop our armed forces first, we won’t even be qualified to develop people’s livelihood.

However, Cheng Mu was deeply saddened to see the decline in people's livelihood.

His own cattle and horses are not living well and their enthusiasm for production has dropped, he really feels sorry for it!
Moreover, he was afraid that when the livelihood attribute dropped to a certain point, some badge with negative effects would be triggered, thus causing a series of chain reactions.

In response to this, Cheng Mu quickly came up with a solution in his mind.

The first method: grab.

Directly send troops to seize resources from other areas.

However, the difficulty and risk factors of such operation are not low.

And most importantly, the looted items must first be distributed to the soldiers participating in the operation. Not much can actually be distributed to the residents, which is like drinking poison to quench thirst.

The second method: divert hatred.

Tell them that the reason why everyone’s life is not going well is because of the existence of American hegemony!
If the people suffer any more, the United States will bear the blame.

The third method: robbery.

Sorry, I said it wrong, it was borrowed.

Cheng Mu took out his cell phone and called Mia.

"Ms. Mia, I missed you so much after not seeing you for just one day!" he said jokingly.

"What do you want to do?" Mia's cold voice came.

"Yes, ma'am, but your tone doesn't sound particularly respectful to me, which really makes me sad! I still miss the way you begged me not to go any deeper."

When Mia on the other side of the phone heard this, she subconsciously squeezed her slender thighs together, and her slender fingers created several wrinkles on her neat suit.

She was so angry that she asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, ma'am. I just suddenly remembered something. When we were discussing the deal that day, I seemed to have missed some details. Now I want to add them back."

Mia's face slowly turned cold.

She originally thought that this yellow-skinned man was different from other people on this continent.

Now it seems that he is just another greedy and short-sighted person.

Mia was about to refuse when Cheng Mu's playful voice came again.

"I need to add some more food and supplies to our terms. Not too much, just three or four truckloads."

Mia was stunned. She thought this man would ask for a large amount of resources.

But I didn't expect that he just wanted some basic living supplies? And only a few trucks were needed?

"In return, you'll get a month of peace and quiet. This deal is a good one for you."

After saying this, Cheng Mu hung up the phone without waiting for Mia's reply.

He rested his hands behind his head and leisurely crossed his legs on the solid wooden table.

He believed that Mia would never reject him.

A few truckloads of daily necessities are just a drop in the bucket for Mia's family.

Besides, he offered an extremely tempting condition - not to harass Mia for a whole month!
Although this is also due to the geographical factor of being out of reach, it is enough to show Cheng Mu's magnanimity.

As for why not take the opportunity to ask for more.
Cheng Mu smiled evilly.

A trickle of water comes out slowly, and only then can it flow long. After the phone call ended, there was a knock on the door.

Then he turned the handle directly, and a middle-aged Chinese man with sunglasses and a 3:7 hairstyle walked in.

"Xiao Wang, have you changed your sunglasses again?" Cheng Mu asked with a smile as he looked at the person who came.

The Xiao Wang that Cheng Mu mentioned is Wang Wen, his trusted military advisor. He likes to wear sunglasses and wears them even in the house.

At the same time, he is currently one of only five people who can enter his office directly without permission.

The reason why it is called the only five is that in addition to badges and basic attributes, Cheng Mu’s system also has a function that can check the loyalty of subordinates.

The current maximum number of people who can view this feature is 5.

However, as the population in the territory grows, its upper limit will also increase.

As soon as Xiao Wang entered the room, he said impatiently: "I went to the grassroots again today to inspect. I can feel that the people are becoming more and more dissatisfied. How about we use the reserve funds to exchange for some supplies?"

Cheng Mu waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll find a way to deal with these things."

Wang Wen looked at Cheng Mu, who looked confident, and did not continue to dwell on this issue. He continued, "Do you remember the fat businessman before?"

Cheng Mu nodded.

It was Wang Wen who took the initiative to offer to help this person, saying that this might attract some businessmen to invest in Tasia Town.

"I spoke to him on the phone this morning. He is considering building a rubber factory in a town near us. He wants to hire a guard from us to protect his safety."

"Where to build it?" Cheng Mu became interested.

"Near Bol Town." Wang Wen glanced at Cheng Mu. He knew the nature of this young man very well, so he quickly said, "Are you thinking of Bol Town again?"

"You know all this?" Cheng Mu exaggerated.

Wang Wen waved his hands impatiently: "Have you forgotten what I just said? If we continue to wage war blindly, it is very likely to cause a civil uprising."

"At worst, they may migrate to other towns. If the foundation is unstable, then our building may collapse!"

Wang Wen's words may sound hurtful, but a person like him who is always prepared for the worst is indispensable in an organization.

Cheng Mu said calmly: "I have been coveting Bol Town for a long time, you know this."

"If we can take this town, perhaps we can take the opportunity to build a rubber production line to make up for our industrial deficiencies."

"Others say I'm a warmongerer, but you should know that I only consider profit when doing things."

When saying the last sentence, Cheng Mu and Wang Wen looked at each other.

After a moment's silence, Wang Wen still shook his head.

"This is different from the impromptu military action you planned the day before yesterday. Bol Town has long been prepared for us. If we fail to deal with them in the first place, once the battle line is stretched, we will be quickly dragged down."

"What if I have a good idea?" Cheng Mu smiled and leaned over to whisper in Wang Wen's ear.

After listening to Cheng Mu's plan, Wang Wen asked suspiciously, "Secretary General Abdullah? Are you sure he will help you do this?!"

"Knowing what I know about him, I think I can give him an offer he can't refuse."

The room fell silent again.

After a moment, Wang Wen still shook his head.

"The impact of doing so is too bad and is not conducive to our subsequent development."

Cheng Mu sneered, walked to Wang Wen who was sitting on a chair, and pressed his shoulder.

"Xiao Wang, your vision is still too narrow. What does a small town like Boer mean? Why should we consider the political impact of such a bullshit?"

"After entering the Pass, there will be great scholars who will debate for us."
