Machine War: Infinite Frontier.

With so many people coming, the manor became lively, but the busiest person was Gulemo's chef. The three meals a day of dozens of people fell on the shoulders of two chefs and two kitchen assistants. They also had to carefully prepare some biscuits, snacks, milk tea, fruit tea, etc. and send them to their boss's boss at any time.

When another plate of snacks was brought over and placed on the table in the garden, Xiaodao walked over, raised his hand, and emitted a scanning light from his arm to analyze the ingredients of all the snacks clearly. After confirming that there was no problem, he walked back behind Xiao Yun and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Ah~~~"

Xiao Yun was lying on a rattan chair wearing beach pants with a towel covering his belly. He yawned, picked up a piece of strawberry biscuit and threw it in while he was still mouthful. His eyes were looking ahead as if he was still sleepy. A dozen young girls in bikinis, showing off their curvy figures, were playing in the water. It was not only the water that was splashing. The days of doing nothing were so simple and ordinary.

Xiaodao suddenly spoke from behind: "Boss, Tilly has led the team to the Far East, and has also found the mission target Chidori at Jindai High School."

Xiao Yun took a sip of the juice, put the cup down and started eating his Windermere special apple again: "Just protect the surrounding area. Don't get close unless your life is in danger. But so far, no one who looks like Amalgam has come to us?"

Xiaodao shook his head gently: "No."

Xiao Yun said: "They are really patient. Such a huge organization can hide itself so well. The recent big movement here should have caught their attention. Are they still observing?"

Xiaodao did not answer, but watched the surveillance images of the entire manor and nearby places through the helmet display. Now the security measures of the entire manor have been completely taken over by Xiaodao, Steve and Menghan. Gulemo's people can only move around the periphery without permission. The blockade is so tight that it is impossible to sneak in even if AS turns on ESC.

Gulaimo appeared in the garden in a military uniform and walked slowly towards Xiao Yun. He stopped a few steps away from Xiao Yun, bowed slightly, and shouted, "BOSS."

Xiao Yun waved his hand: "Go on."

Guillermo said quickly: "A delegation sent by senior government officials arrived in Cobija today. They lobbied me to maintain the current situation and not start a larger armed conflict. They also hoped that I would support the current president in the upcoming new election. The Americans also secretly sent people to ask me to support someone else."

Xiao Yun nodded: "Who do you want to support?"

Gulaimo licked his lips, and ambition flashed in his eyes: "If there is no boss, I will definitely support the current president. Only the current president can maintain the balance of the domestic situation. The traitors will choose the puppet supported by the Americans to take office. But now I don't want to support anyone. I want to sit in that position myself."

Xiao Yun lifted the towel and sat up. He put down the apple he had just eaten and wiped his hands with the towel: "Tell me in detail."

Gulemo's eyes lit up with joy. Others might not know that the troops under Xiao Yun's command were terrifying, but he knew that even all the assassination forces in the world combined could not compare to them.

"If I can become the new president and have your support, I will definitely be able to unify the country and suppress all opposition voices. At that time, I will be able to serve you better. But now the Soviets can't support me, and I can't turn to the Americans. Although I can get some support in the country, it is far from enough."

Xiao Yun nodded gently: "I understand. Under normal circumstances, everyone else can become president, but you can't."

Gulaimo looked ashamed: "Sorry, Boss."

Gulemo's current situation is like a small leader who wants to become an emperor all of a sudden. The key is that he, a small leader, is not the kind of leader who can rank first or second. Although he can be ranked in the top five, there are still four other leaders in front of him who will oppose him. Originally, this should be no suspense, but Gulemo has been making some big moves recently, so they sent people over to appease him.

To be honest, it is not easy for Gulemo to maintain his current situation. It is simply a fantasy to want to become president or support his own people to become president. He did not have the courage and ambition before, but now with Xiao Yun's support, he has the ambition and courage.

Xiao Yun said: "What support do you want?"

Gulaimo said: "I hope the boss can help me get rid of those who oppose me."

Xiao Yun curled his lips: "Even if you get rid of those who oppose you, there will be others who will stand up against you. It's not easy for you to maintain the rule of Pandu Province in your current situation. Some things can be solved with bullets, but not everything can be solved with bullets. Even if I really push you to that position in the end, you will probably face riots and resistance across the country. It's good enough that I don't clean up your mess. Do you still want to help me?"

Gulaimo immediately fell silent and dared not speak.

"No hurry." Xiao Yun smiled and said, "When is the next election?"

“Within this year.”

Xiao Yun said: "Enriching your own strength is the top priority, but I can show you a way."

Gulaimo said hurriedly: "Boss, please speak."

Xiao Yun said: "The Americans must have contacted more than just you. You might as well agree to the Americans in exchange for better conditions. You can help the Americans get more allies with their money, and find out who has defected to the Americans."

Guillermo was full of questions: "Surrender to the Americans? I will be despised by everyone, and everyone will abandon me."

"Don't be in a hurry." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "Wait until the election starts before you stir up chaos. I will help you calm the situation after both sides have fought each other out. At that time, the power and status seized by force will be the most reliable. Do you understand? You can agree to anything that comes to you from both sides, but you must get benefits first. Don't do anything that doesn't benefit you."

"The election is about to be held, and this is a contradiction. There will be many people who want to maintain the current stability, but there will also be many people who want to break the current situation. It only takes a little spark to explode. Let me ask you how many tanks, AS, guns and people you have now? It doesn't matter who you get the benefits from, and it doesn't matter whether you listen to them in the future."

Guillermo was a little surprised: "But Boss, if we accept the money from the Americans and don't do anything for them, they will definitely retaliate."

Xiao Yun stood up, laughed, and patted Gulaimo on the shoulder: "What are you afraid of? I don't need to teach you how to play both sides. You don't have to be afraid of anyone's revenge when I'm here. If you want to succeed, you have to take risks and invest. First, strengthen the military force at hand."

Gulaimo took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "I understand."

With Xiao Yun's words, Gulemo became bolder. After leaving, he began to sort out his assets and buy a batch of military equipment, including AS, tanks, helicopters, fighter jets and so on.

You don't need the latest model, second-hand ones will do. First, improve the quality of your own army.

If you say he is rich, he is very rich as he controls so many mineral resources and assets in a province. After all, he is a general and has several generals of regular armies under him.

In this way, Guillemo stabilized the representatives sent by the Presidential Palace, and began to negotiate with the Americans who came to Cobija quietly. The other side wanted to give Guillemo some small benefits and trick him into doing things first, but of course Guillemo would not agree. With Xiao Yun's support, it was obvious that he was ready to blackmail the Americans and would not agree to anything unless he saw any benefits.

At first, the offer of 10 million or 20 million US dollars made by the Americans was not acceptable to Guillermo, who felt that it was like giving away a beggar. Guillermo was so angry that he ordered his guards to raise their guns and surround the Americans who came to negotiate.

Surround them, that's it. This was also one of Gulemo's ways of expressing his dissatisfaction. After the middleman stepped forward to smooth things over, both sides found a way out and continued the talks.

The final result of the negotiations made Guillermo quite satisfied. The first funding was a welcome gift of 500 million US dollars, plus a 10 billion US dollar interest-free loan. When the election starts, if Guillermo stands up and clearly opposes and launches military action, the Americans will give more. They also promised to provide military assistance and military guidance.

Is 500 million US dollars enough to start a civil war? Not at all. A few hundred million US dollars for a war is nothing, but for Guillermo, who only needs to move his mouth, it is not a small amount. For the Americans, they are actually quite satisfied. If they can support a pro-American puppet government in this country, these investments are nothing.

Of course, if the situation eventually turns into civil strife and war, Americans are well aware that they will have to pay more money in the future. But they are willing to pay as much as possible. Compared with the country's natural resources, even a tens of billions of dollars of investment is completely worth it.

As for the 10 billion US dollars interest-free loan, it has to be repaid. It doesn't matter if you can't pay it back now. You can use the mineral resources of Pando Province as collateral to the white gloves found by the Americans. Moreover, Gullem can't get this money, so the Americans will help him exchange it for various weapons and equipment of corresponding value and transport them to designated places. The Americans will make a fortune from this alone.

Of course, the Americans don't dare to sell their own weapons so directly, but it is very easy to produce weapons that look like the Soviets. The number of ASs owned by barbarians around the world can be said to be the largest among all ASs, just like the AK among firearms, which is quite easy to make.

The 500 million U.S. dollars went directly into Gullem's unnamed account in Switzerland. This money could not be moved for the time being, but Gullem raised a large sum of money and bought a lot of things from the Soviets to strengthen his own armed forces. He also began to recruit soldiers from the entire Pando and found a large number of mercenaries through the black market to help him.

The transaction with the Americans had to be kept secret, of course, but Guillermo's big move could not be hidden from others. Batches of miscellaneous weapons and equipment were sent to the province of Pando. People in other regions generally saw that Guillermo was going to take advantage of this election to make some noise. For a time, the situation in the entire country became tense, and the two bordering provinces had already begun to mobilize troops for preparation.

The Americans were also very satisfied with Guillermo's performance. He saw that the way he increased his armed forces without leaving any room for maneuver and deployed troops on the border was an attempt to cause trouble. They also made public speeches to express their dissatisfaction.

So the battle began. Small-scale fire conflicts occurred frequently. Various conflicts broke out one after another between Panduo Province and the two bordering provinces. However, none of the parties involved in the battle involved the open participation of regular troops. Under such circumstances, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before a larger-scale battle developed.

The Presidential Palace has been calling on the three parties to remain calm and actively arranging talks among the three parties in an attempt to intervene and prevent a larger conflict from breaking out.

The Americans didn't expect Guillermo to be so reckless and honest. They happily proposed to send an AS unit to lurk and protect Guillermo. Guillermo readily agreed, but he refused the security team that the Americans wanted to give him.

What security team could surpass Xiao Yun's security team? Xiao Yun was afraid that this guy would offend too many people and be killed, so he directly sent Steve's entire team to protect this guy. Guleimo was also very sensible and moved out of the manor and lived in a base not far from the manor and carried out extensive renovations.

Under such circumstances, more than a dozen simplified versions of the Riot and several complete versions of the Riot were quietly transported to Coveha. The super-simplified version of the Riot abandoned many of the original configurations, and its weapons were replaced with small missiles, physical swords and live ammunition rifles, but it retained some of the Titan's equipment, electromagnetic defense devices, ground sliding devices, as well as PS armor and optical camouflage systems, leaving a GN capacitor with GN particles in reserve just in case.

These machines are certainly not prepared to participate in the ensuing chaos, but to protect Xiao Yun and other people who may appear in this world.

Seeing this situation, the Americans were ready to add fuel to the fire and do something bigger. The current situation here looked like a bomb that could explode with a spark, so they were ready to throw some sparks down to completely detonate the bomb, but this kind of thing was not convenient for them to do openly, so they made arrangements for their planted pawns to find mercenaries.

A ferocious AS mercenary team appeared near the Presidential Palace like ghosts and demons in the darkness. In another direction, several ASs emerged from the darkness in tacit coordination. In yet another direction, a pitch-black V-shaped masked face machine also appeared near the Presidential Palace.

Three teams of AS from three directions were all approaching the Presidential Palace slowly and simultaneously. When the second team of AS discovered that the mercenary team of AS had launched the first attack, the whole scene suddenly became lively. Alarms instantly resounded through the sky. The mercenary AS team and the mysterious AS force engaged in a battle, with the sound of gunfire and artillery fire incessantly.

The third party, which was the slowest in movement, was stunned. They didn't expect that the fight had already started before they even took any action.
