Chapter 77 Another victory
The atmosphere in the hall was depressing.
The dozen or so leaders of the Xu family at the present time all sat upright on wooden chairs.
The head of the family, Xu Qinxue, was a square-faced, bald man in his fifties. He looked at the family members present, and a hint of fatigue and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"These days, I have heard a lot of voices from the bottom. The Aquino family and we are in an alliance by marriage. If we give up this alliance, we will not be able to fight Fernando, Lopez, Marcus, and Ayala alone."
Xu Yingming, the leader of the Eighth House, sneered: "Haha, you can fight without giving up the alliance? Is it the same now as before? Aquino can hardly stand in Manila."
"Yingming, I heard that you have a big cooperation with some people in Bais Port?" Xu Qinxue asked with a wry smile.
Facing the question from the head of the family, Xu Yingming replied without disguising, "So what? At least I have helped the family to increase its income. As the old saying goes, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Third uncle, you are old."
"Hmph! You are so short-sighted! I am not so old and confused that I cannot see the situation clearly." Xu Qinxue was furious and immediately slammed the table and stood up.
But he did not notice the coldness and disdain in Xu Yingming's eyes.
"How can I save my family when I'm with a bunch of insects?" Xu Yingming's murderous intent grew stronger.
Then he gave a hidden look to Xu Yingqi, the other person in charge sitting at the back, who looked at him and then pressed the controller in his pocket.
Xu Qinxue, who was losing his temper with everyone, was suddenly made even more annoyed by a mosquito buzzing in his ear.
But soon Xu Qinxue felt something was wrong. A lot of double images appeared in front of his eyes, and then he saw other people also staggering, and finally his eyes went black.
Snap, snap, snap…
"Yingqi, well done." Xu Yingming smiled and applauded.
Xu Yingqi replied coldly: "I'm not doing this for you, but for the family."
Today's scene would not have been so easy without the cooperation of Xu Yingqi, a member of the eldest house, because this person is the person in charge of security work in a manor.
Xu Yingming smiled but said nothing about this. After all, flies don't bite seamless eggs.
After he was secretly recruited by the Homo Sapiens Company to become the manager of the spider web, he had been secretly selecting suitable helpers, and Xu Yingqi, a young man of the same generation, soon became his target.
This person was chosen not only because Xu Yingqi was from the first wife's family, but also for two other reasons. First, Xu Yingqi was responsible for the family's security; second, Xu Yingqi had a grudge against the Aquino family.
After Xu Yingqi's sister married the Aquino family, she suddenly jumped into the sea and committed suicide. This incident made him feel very upset, but facing the authority of the head of the family, he only received 5 million pesos in compensation from the Aquino family.
As siblings who have depended on each other since childhood, money can never erase the anger and hatred in his heart.
At this time, Xu Yingming appeared.
After seeing how powerful the Zhiren Company was, and when the other party asked him to kill the trash who killed his sister with his own hands, Xu Yingqi no longer resisted.
At this moment, Xu Yingqi felt extremely complicated.
"I want to put an end to this filthy marriage system. Tragedy like my sister's should never happen again."
As a member of a large family, especially for women, the so-called freedom of marriage is basically non-existent. In particular, for those whose parents have no say, after getting married, even if they are not satisfied, they have no way to divorce because this will destroy the relationship between the two families.
His sister couldn't stand the bullying from her husband's family. She wanted to divorce but didn't get support from her family, so she finally jumped into the sea and committed suicide.
Xu Yingqi changed from that moment on.
He hated his own incompetence, and hated his family's ruthlessness even more.
Putting away the gray memories, Xu Yingqi quickly transferred the soldiers he had inserted and began to transform the people in charge present.
At the same time, in the name of the head of the family, he ordered Xu Qinxue's wife to take her daughter to the Aquino family in Manila to build relations with the Aquino family.
Xu Qinxue's wife is from the Aquino family, so naturally she has no objection to this.
We took a flight to Manila at noon that day.
At this time, Xu Qinxue's eldest son was working in Bohol Island, and his youngest son was studying in Sing Tao Island. As for the other members of the first wife, they had no say.
Before preparing for the action, Xu Yingqi and Xu Yingming had already simulated the voices of a group of people in charge through recordings.
Through the voice simulator and the phones of the people in charge, they quickly reassured the branches in various places, using the excuse that they would be in a meeting for about a week and asked them not to call unless it was important.
With the cooperation of these two people, and the support of the Security Department and the Internal Affairs Department, the core members of the Xu family were wiped out.
By the time the so-called meeting was over, Xu Qinxue and others had become emotionless soldiers.
This also means that the Xu family is controlled by Xu Yingming and Xu Yingqi.
…
Bandon Island.
Xu Yingming arrived here secretly by submarine.
That’s right, on a submarine.
Luzon is a very special place. The strength of each family is complicated. They naturally have their own military representatives. It’s just a matter of the size of their power.
The Lopez family, the Fernando family, the Duterte family, and the Tusun family can influence at least two-thirds of the troops in Luzon, and even have a part of their own legions that are completely under the family's command.
The Fernando family has a great influence on the Luzon Navy. This year, the Fernando family and the Lopez family made special donations to allow the Navy to order three submarines from the New Luzon Shipyard.
In fact, the New Luzon Shipyard is a newly formed medium-sized shipyard after the integration of the shipyards owned by two families.
Luzon's shipbuilding industry is actually quite good, mainly because South Korea and Japan have invested in many shipyards here, forming a relatively good foundation.
Although the New Luzon Shipbuilding Company is not as good as the shipbuilding companies of the Koreans and Japanese, after the integration , it can barely build 20,000-ton cargo ships.
As for building submarines, they were forced to do so. There was no expectation that they could build attack submarines, nuclear submarines, or the like.
The task Li Qingye gave them was to accumulate experience.
The first submarine produced, the Bluefin Squid class, had a displacement of 550 tons and used conventional diesel-electric power. It had a slow speed of 8 knots underwater and 12 knots above water, and could dive to a depth of less than 120 meters.
Worse than the submarines in World War II.
But the advantages are high comfort, more redundancy and better safety.
The only bright spot is that the noise is relatively low. The sound-absorbing tiles on the hull are a specialty of the Sapiens company. They are more powerful than the sound-absorbing tiles of America and can actively absorb the sound waves of active sonar.
This is made of biological nanomaterials designed using bionic principles.
In Li Qingye's opinion, the most important elements of a submarine are actually stealth and safety, while offensiveness is secondary.
After all, what is the difference between a submarine that cannot hide and a surface ship?
Therefore, the Albacore class chose to sacrifice other performance and focus on safety and stealth.
The Bluefish 001 that Xu Yingming was on was officially put into use more than half a month ago.
In fact, in the New Luzon Shipyard's shipyard, since the construction was divided into two shipyards, a total of six Bluefin tuna-class ships were built. However, the company's management blurred the records of the two shipyards and closed the news, making the outside world believe that only three ships were built.
Among them, the three Bluefin tuna-class ships planned to be delivered to the Luzon Navy are the versions without silencer tiles.
The Bluefish No. 001 is used by the Sapiens company itself.
The choice of submarines is to avoid satellites in the sky. If Bandon Island is frequently visited by ships and there are no residents there, it will easily attract attention over time.
