Livestream Conflict-solver: The Whole Internet Begs Me for Justice!

151: We’re going to go in a big, high-profile way!”Should?”

Zhang Ze rolled his eyes internally.

So after all that, this is an open-book test?

The paper is my life, and the answers are all guesswork?

”So, Colonel.”

Zhang Ze took a step forward and tapped the model of the red circle on the sandbox map.

”Your plan is to send the three of us, completely blind to the enemy’s internal situation, into a fully armed military fortress to execute a highly perilous decapitation and rescue mission?”

”And your so-called ’main force’ will just fire a few shots dozens of kilometers away and listen for a response?”

The faces of the officers next to Colonel Basong turned very ugly.

Captain Li tried to intervene and smooth things over, but Zhang Ze stopped him with a gesture.

”Colonel, I’m not here to question your professionalism.”

Zhang Ze leaned forward, resting both hands on the edge of the sandbox map.

”I’m just saying that your plan is sending my Brothers to their deaths.”

”And I never engage in losing propositions.”

An Yang froze. Only then did he belatedly realize that this seemingly impressive plan was indeed exactly what Zhang Ze described.

Chen Hu remained silent throughout.

Colonel Basong’s face flushed a deep liver color.

As a dignified front-line commander, he had never been so openly challenged before.

”Mr. Zhang! Watch your tone! This is the optimal solution derived from our meticulous analysis!”

”The optimal plan for dying?”

Zhang Ze refused to back down.

”’Black Snake’ isn’t stupid, and General Kelen certainly isn’t. The moment your main force moves, do you think they won’t know what your true intentions are?”

”When that happens, all they need to do is set up a pocket formation in the compound, and the three of us will be rabbits walking straight into a snare.”

Just as both sides were locked in a stalemate.

A communication soldier suddenly rushed in, looking flustered.

”Report, Colonel! ’Black Snake’... ’Black Snake’ has sent someone to pass on a message!”

Colonel Basong was startled.

”What did he say?”

”He said... he wants to invite Mr. Zhang to the ’KRAKEN’ compound tomorrow at noon, twelve o’clock, for peace negotiations.”

The communication soldier finished his report with difficulty.

”He also said that, to show sincerity, he will personally welcome Mr. Zhang in the central plaza.”

The entire tent fell silent.

Everyone looked at Zhang Ze with expressions reserved for a monster.

An Yang’s mouth dropped open.

”Holy crap! How is that bastard so well-informed? How did he know Brother Ze you were here?”

Colonel Basong’s expression became extremely grim.

”This is a trap! A blatant Hongmen Banquet!”

”He wants to lure you inside and wipe you all out!”

Captain Li also quickly advised.

”Mr. Zhang, you absolutely cannot go! The compound is a den of thieves!”

Zhang Ze, however, smiled.

He straightened up and meticulously adjusted his collar.

A trap?

Of course it was a trap.

Such a low-level provocation.

Who does ’Black Snake’ think he is? Lu Bu?

’Central plaza’—why doesn’t he just say the winner’s podium?

”Brother Ze, you can’t go! This is clearly a setup to kill us!” An Yang was also panicking.

”Who said I was going?”

Zhang Ze countered.

Everyone sighed in relief.

”But...”

Zhang Ze changed the subject.

”Since they showed such sincerity, wouldn’t it be a little rude not to return the favor?”

Colonel Basong didn’t understand.

”Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?”

”It means we can go to the Hongmen Banquet, but who will be Xiang Yu and who will be Liu Bang remains to be seen.”

Zhang Ze walked up to Colonel Basong and patted him on the shoulder.

”Colonel, your plan needs to be changed.”

Colonel Basong’s cheeks were flushed, and his muscles were taut.

Zhang Ze casually pulled up a chair, sat down, and instinctively grabbed Captain Li’s cup for a drink of water.

An Yang watched from the side, dumbfounded.

My brother, you’re in their military Command Center! Your manner of taking over is far too casual!

”Mr. Zhang, I must reiterate that your suggestion is an insult to me and to my country’s military!” Colonel Basong practically roared.

”An insult?” Zhang Ze put the cup down. ”No, no, no, I’m just stating a fact.”

”’Black Snake’ invited me to a banquet in the compound’s central plaza. You think it’s a trap, and you’re right, it is a trap.”

”But the fact that he chose that location proves one thing.”

Zhang Ze held up a finger.

”He is very confident, even arrogant. He feels that in the center of his territory, he is a god who can control everything. He wants to watch me walk into his carefully arranged slaughterhouse and then enjoy my expression of despair.”

”And that arrogance is our only opportunity.”

Captain Li couldn’t help but speak up: ”But that’s also the most heavily defended area! The fact that he dares to invite you means it has already become an inescapable net!”

”Exactly,” Zhang Ze nodded. ”That’s why a normal person wouldn’t go.”

An Yang nodded repeatedly: ”Exactly! Brother Ze, let’s not go. Let’s hit him somewhere else!”

”But I’m not a normal person.” Zhang Ze grinned. ”I’m going.”

”And I’m going in a grand, high-profile manner.”

Colonel Basong’s fists were clenched tightly. He felt that every extra word spoken to this Dragon Country man in front of him made his blood pressure spike.

”Colonel, stop looking at me like you want to execute me.” Zhang Ze stood up and walked back to the sandbox map.

”My plan is simple.”

He picked up a pointer and indicated the location of the ”KRAKEN” compound on the map.

”Tomorrow at noon, twelve o’clock, he will be waiting for me in the central plaza.”

”And you,” Zhang Ze moved the pointer to a mountainous area outside the compound, ”at eleven forty-five, your most elite assault team must be here to take out the compound’s main power station and communication base station.”

Colonel Basong blurted out.

”Impossible! The defenses there are second only to the central area; sending men there is suicide!”

”That’s why we need precise intelligence.” Zhang Ze tapped the sandbox map lightly with the pointer. ”That, I will provide.”

”My friend, Mr. Shawa, his people will scout the firing points and patrol routes in advance. Your soldiers only need to follow the map I give them to execute a surgical, pinpoint demolition.”

Zhang Ze looked up at everyone in the tent.

”Imagine the scene.”

”At noon, twelve o’clock, ’Black Snake’ has set up the banquet and mounted the machine guns in the plaza, with all cameras aimed at the entrance, waiting to see how I, this ’hero,’ will embarrass myself.”

”Suddenly, the entire compound loses power.”

”All surveillance fails, all electronic door locks malfunction, internal communication cuts off—they instantly become blind and deaf.”

”At that moment, what will ’Black Snake’s’ reaction be?”
