Nan Qing was being controlled by a Hungarian. Ye Mo was speechless, but he didnât really care.
Ye Mo didnât seem to notice Li Sandaoâs expectant look and continued, "Sai Na is a good place to store an army. Youâve been here the longest, tell me: is Sai Na suitable for living? How big is it? What are some of its special landmarks?"
Li Sandao was disappointed that Ye Mo didnât talk about getting revenge for Lone Wolf, but he knew Ye Moâs power and didnât dare not reply to his questions.
"Sai Na faces the sea in three directions. It has some mountains and plateaus, but mainly consists out of forests. There are some natives, it has rich freshwater sources and distinct seasons. Although there are sometimes hurricanes, all in all, itâs not a bad place to live," Li Sandao said.
Ye Mo continued his questioning, "How many natives are here? How big is the land area? Which country does it belong to?"
After these questions, Li Sandao realized that Ye Mo was thinking about taking Sai Na for himself. He had a look of worry but still replied, "Including the forests, it has a land area of nearly 20.000 sq km. There arenât many natives, and they are very separated. It doesnât belong to any country now, either."
"If I wanted to take over this place, what ideas would you have for dealing with the natives?" Ye Mo had already decided that Sai Na had to become his land after hearing that. After asking all these questions, he would go investigate himself too. It didnât belong to any country? This was just too good.
Li Sandao said worriedly, "Ye-Qianbei, if you want to store your army here, the natives would be easy to deal with, but the problem would be with the Americans."
Ye Mo asked in surprise, "Itâs around 10.000 km away from the US, and it doesnât belong to any country. What has it got to do with the US?"
Li Sandao explained without having to think, "The reason why this good land doesnât belong to anyone yet is because itâs in the middle region of Kenya and Ethiopia. Those two countries have fought many times over who the land belongs to and negotiated for nearly 10 years. Even still, they couldnât come to a decision, so it dragged on and on. Thatâs when the US intervened and promised something to the two countries.Even though it seemed as if they werenât doing anything about it anymore, the US people did come a couple of times.
"I believe they want the place too. Otherwise, why would they come over multiple times? There might be some mines and natural resources here."
Ye Mo nodded and said, "Wait for me here. I will go out to have a look."
Then, Ye Mo went on his flying sword into the air. He needed to confirm whether this place was like what Li Sandao had said. If it was, then he had to take it. He would kill whoever tried to stop him.
In the air of Sai Na, it was clear and on three sides of it one could see the sea. If one ignored its small connection to the mainland, Sai Na was an island. It had more than 10 freshwater sources, and the mountains were lushly green. Ye Mo immediately came to like the place.
He could build a country here, much less a city! If he set up some proper marine defense, this place would be in a good choke point during war. Even though modern warfare involved aerial battle as well, this place still seemed very good to Ye Mo.
âIt shall be Sai Na. From now on, this will be my city,â Ye Mo nodded. He returned to Li Sandao and knew itâs best to get started early. Since the Americans were already looking into the place, he had to take over before they could.
After coming back, Ye Mo called Xu Yuehua, "Sister Yuehua, Iâve found a better place to build a city than Flowing Snake. You should gather the materials at Flowing Snake first, though."
Xu Yuehua was dazed by Ye Moâs words and reacted after a long while. She asked, "You said that you found a better place to build a city than Flowing Snake? Does that place belong to a country?"
Ye Mo immediately said, "Itâs the original base of Nan Qing, thereâs about 20.000 sq km of land, and it doesnât belong to anyone."
Xu Yuehua almost dropped the phone to the ground. The first thing she wanted to do was to stop Ye Moâs crazy idea, "President Ye, do you know what youâre doing? How can I not know about Sai Na? Why would this fertile land not belong to anyone? Do you know why two countries have fought over that land for a long time yet still didnât come to a resolution?"
"Itâs because of another party who wants the place and itâs intervening. This intervening country is powerful, and the two countries fighting over it donât want to offend anyone, so they still havenât been able to settle it even after a decade."
Ye Mo smiled, "So we need to take over quickly. If we get it first, then the US would have to find some other excuse. And if theyâre really going to fight us, I donât mind. Sister Yuehua, prepare everything, hire large amounts of planes and ships, send them to Sai Na and start building this place. At the same time, we need to transfer our Luo Yue Corporation here. Change Sai Na to Luo Yue and announce it to the world."
Then, Ye Mo called Xu Ping to say that he would be back in Flowing Snake soon.
Ye Moâs call made Flowing Snake bustle again.
Li Sandao watched as Ye Mo put the phone down and was dumbfounded. He didnât think that Ye Mo would be this crazy. To declare Sai Na as his place and change its name!
Ye Mo said to Li Sandao, "Bring me to see that Freddy."
Li Sandao knew Ye Moâs power and didnât hesitate to show him the way.
"Li, who let you come to my land?" as soon as they neared the luxurious hall Qian Longtou had left behind, someone reproached them. It was in Chinese but not very fluently.
"Heâs Freddy?" Ye Mo looked at the big-bearded guy and asked.
Li Sandao quickly nodded, "Yes, heâs Freddy. The 30 people behind him are elite troops with their equipment also being first class."
Seeing this, Ye Mo let himself go loose. He wasnât planning on negotiating with them. These troops wouldnât cost him much effort at all.
After some wind blades, the troops were all killed by the time Freddy could gather himself.
Li Sandao looked at the ground full of blood. He knew that Ye Mo was very strong and wouldnât be afraid of Freddy, but he didnât expect the battle to be this easy. It was like stomping on some ants.
Ye Mo patted the dumbfounded Li Sandao who woke up and said dazedly, "Itâs over?"
He thought there would be a huge battle at least.
"Yes, itâs over. I said that this would be my land, so it will be. Li Sandao, do you wish to work for me?" Ye Mo needed someone who was familiar with the place. It would save his people a lot of trouble.
Li Sandao considered it. Ye Mo was the strongest person he had ever seen and since Ye Mo would control this land and he had nowhere to go anyway, why not stay?
"Ye-Qianbei, Iâm willing to work for you. Iâll go through fire-" Before he could finish his promise, he was stopped by Ye Mo.
"Li Sandao, I donât need you to go through fire, you just need to help my second brother, Xu Ping, organize the army. How many people do you have now?"
"Thereâs about 200 brothers in Sai Na."
Ye Mo nodded, "Iâll leave this place to you. I will bring the people here. In the meantime, start organizing the outskirts, especially the airport and seaport. We will be using it soon."
As soon as Ye Mo had said this, there was a huge rumble in the air. It was a plane, planning to land at Sai Naâs airport.
