Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Late April 1987.

The Yunlan City Government Office Building welcomed several new employees today.

Inside the office, Zhao Mancang introduced the situation to Lü Yangui and the others.

"Xiao Lü, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Lu Shengwen."

Zeng Zhaoshun, Lu Shengwen, Chen Guohua, Gu Zhenan, Shou Jiangang, and Lin Dehong, a total of six people, are all here.

After introducing them to each other, Zhao Mancang asked everyone to sit down.

Then he said:

"Now that we've all gathered here, the future development of Yunlan City depends on you all."

"Our Yunlan City will be divided into seven departments, and the seven of you will be the heads of your respective departments. You won't have much to do normally; you just need to focus on the main tasks of your own department."

"You all meet together every Wednesday to discuss and coordinate the daily tasks that need to be completed."

"Regarding the future development direction of Yunlan City, if there are any issues, I will convene everyone to discuss them as soon as possible."

"However, don't expect me to show up regularly. Most of the time, I won't interfere with your daily work."

"The first thing to do now is regarding the establishment of Yunlan City as a nation."

Those present already had a vague idea in their hearts.

Now Zhao Mancang has said it himself.

Everyone's expressions changed.

Establishing a nation is no small matter.

Given Yunlan City's current strength and status, it might face a lot of opposition if it were to establish a nation.

Especially the original Somalis.

So when Zhao Mancang brought up the words "establishing a nation," Lü Yangui immediately spoke up:

"Sir, if that's the case, then perhaps we should first properly deal with those Somalis in the town of Degim."

"Either they all leave this world, or we find them a proper place to settle down; otherwise, we are likely to face opposition from all sides."

This is by no means a trivial matter.

To gain a foothold in this world.

While strength is the key, the methods used are equally indispensable.

Because if Yunlan City is unable to negotiate, or has no intention of doing so, it is easy to provoke unanimous opposition from everyone.

This makes it easy for problems to arise later.

Zhao Mancang did not want to see such a scene, so he now needed Lu Shengwen and his group to come up with a plan.

With their shrewdness and resourcefulness, they will surely be able to handle this matter properly.

“I know, but it’s not important.”

Shaking his head, Zhao Mancang continued:

"We want to establish a nation. Whether the original Somalis are still around or not is not important. What is important is that we establish a nation!"

"Here's what I was thinking: ten years ago, when I took over this place and renamed it Yunlan City, it was purely to test an idea of ​​my own."

At that time, all he wanted to do was build a city overseas.

After all, at that time, he was in Beijiang City, but it seemed that he couldn't develop and expand the city entirely according to his own wishes.

So he came to Iskoshuban, a small town in Somalia, and thus founded the present-day Yunlan City.

However, after Yunlan City was established and gradually grew stronger, things began to go very unexpectedly.

Now, even if we don't establish a nation, it's no longer feasible.

We can't just continue to stand in the Middle East in this muddled way, can we?

The entire Yunlan City has been developed so well, and its population has exceeded ten million.

With so many people trusting him so much, Zhao Mancang certainly couldn't let them down.

Therefore, establishing a nation is of utmost urgency.

"Yunlan City is no longer what it used to be."

Zhao Mancang smiled faintly and said:

"Our technological strength is already among the world's best. To know exactly how powerful it is, you only need to know that they would never dare to provoke us."

"Our economic strength is quite strong, but we are not a great power after all. So we still need to develop slowly, accumulate grain, build high walls, and wait to become king!"

"The founding strategy is roughly like this: my plan is to establish the nation before 1992. It's 1987 now, so we have less than five years to prepare."

"Furthermore, I need to remind you all that the international community will experience significant upheavals in the coming years."

"This is one of the reasons why I chose to establish the nation at this time."

"Alright, I've covered most of it. Feel free to share your thoughts."

Next, we will discuss this further.

Lu Shengwen and his group didn't know much about the situation in Yunlan City, so they would need to spend the next week learning more about it.

Of course, given the sheer size of Yunlan City, they want to fully understand it within a week.

That's impossible.

I can only have a rough impression.

Fortunately, they have been staying in Yunlan City for the past six months.

Therefore, he is very familiar with many places in Yunlan City.

It's not to the point that when you're looking through materials, you see these things and have absolutely no idea what they are.

"Sir, if we want to establish a nation, we first need to solve internal and external problems. However, I'm not particularly clear about internal problems. What I want to ask about external problems is our relationship with our surrounding neighbors."

Chen Guohua spoke up immediately, and everyone agreed without hesitation.

When Zhao Mancang said he wanted to transform Yunlan City from a city into a country, everyone quickly got into the swing of things.

I was quite excited, because this was equivalent to the merit of following the dragon's lead.

Even though no one can compare to Lü Yangui.

However, according to Zhao Mancang, the seven departments are not ranked and are all equal.

There is no so-called supreme power in ordinary times.

Even Zhao Mancang, this "leader," is a hands-off manager.

Judging from Lü Yangui's relief just now, Zhao Mancang must have seized a lot of key power.

For example, the military, and technology.

Otherwise, Lü Yangui would not have relinquished power so easily.

Once Chen Guohua, Zeng Zhaoshun, Lu Shengwen, and others got into the zone, they immediately thought of many questions.

There are internal problems, but it's not appropriate for them to bring them up.

As for the external situation, everyone knows some things, but the details are not very clear.

Despite Yunlan City's past few years of defeating Sam and Moscow.

Invincible in the world!
It is absolutely the most awesome thing on this planet.

However, Yunlan City is not without its flaws, such as the recent conflict between the original Somali indigenous people and Ethiopia, which has caused a great stir at the United Nations.

They even occupied the town of Degim, showing the Somali people's arrogance.

This incident has once again generated strong hostility towards Yunlan City from many countries around the world.

After all, Yunlan City's actions were tantamount to robbery.

Zhao Mancang and his group occupied the Somali region, renamed it Yunlan City, and through a large number of immigrants and technological means, transformed Yunlan City into the livable place it is today.

While it may seem like a great contribution, it is actually built on the suffering of the Somali people. In the original timeline's history, Somalia has always been a chaotic place.

Back in the 1980s and 90s, the entire Somali region had a population of only about ten million, but more than ninety percent of the civilians lived below the poverty line.

And many people died of starvation or disease.

This is because there are two major warlord organizations in Somalia, and they are constantly at war with each other.

The hatred between the two sides is immense and will never stop.

Even if peacekeeping forces come, it won't make a difference.

That's why Black Hawk Down happened later.

In this timeline, Zhao Mancang has already driven away the Somalis and wiped out the pirates.

As it turns out, Zhao Mancang did the right thing.

Somalis do not deserve to be saved.

A classic case of ingratitude.

The peace and prosperity of Yunlan City should not be given to the Somalis.

Zhao Mancang is not a saint, so his mercy will not extend to these people.

As is well known, there are also a large number of Black people in Sam's area.

Anyone who has been to Sam knows that most Black people are damned.

Anyone who has been near Baiyuncheng Railway Station will probably understand.

In places like White Cloud City, hundreds of thousands of Black people also live.

These Black people became even more unscrupulous.

Bully the weak and fear the strong!

Doing evil!

Arson, murder, looting, and plunder!

Do whatever it takes!

In short, Zhao Mancang never showed mercy to these kinds of people.

"External relations should be pretty good, but that's not the point."

Zhao Mancang said with a smile:
"Those foreigners want to befriend Yunlan City simply because of our city's technological strength. They are extremely envious of it. Otherwise, why do you think they gave us the right to host the 1992 Olympics?"

Did you really think it was love?
Of course it’s impossible!
Zeng Zhaoshun and the others then realized that Yunlan City had obtained the right to host the 1992 Olympic Games through insider trading.

They then began their discussion.

Zhao Mancang did not leave, but listened from the side the whole time.

He certainly had his own ideas about how to build Yunlan City.

If a nation is to be established, then the name of that nation becomes particularly important.

What about the Dragon Kingdom?

Not good!
The Xia state was also rejected.

Our country has a long history of dynasties, including the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, as well as some short-lived dynasties such as the Liang and Zhou states.

There were many names, but Zhao Mancang didn't like any of them.

Just take your time choosing.

After some discussion, the names included in the shortlist were Longxiang Kingdom, Longyun Kingdom, Kunlun Kingdom, and Tianyun Kingdom.

Everyone discussed it individually and decided which one was more suitable.

Of course, Zhao Mancang's thoughts were the key point, and Lu Shengwen and the others were very clear about them.

Country names may seem important, but they're not actually that important.

More importantly, there are issues like system design.

Therefore, we need to discuss this point in detail.

At the same time, we need to understand Yunlan City's existing economic system, economic strength and status, as well as the country's overall strength and foundation.

Chen Guohua, Lu Shengwen, and Gu Zhenan certainly need to understand the situation clearly in order to offer better advice and strategies.

But during the conversation, everyone quickly learned something.

That was the Black Cross Force, which was indeed under Zhao Mancang's control.

Furthermore, some of the companies and factories representing the most extreme technologies are controlled by Zhao Mancang.

Outsiders—no, even Lü Yangui knew very little about it.

At this moment, everyone realized that the real power holder in Yunlan City was Zhao Mancang, who was standing in front of them.

Over the next week or so, Lu Shengwen and his group gradually learned about the whole situation in Yunlan City, and went from being shocked at the beginning to being numb now.

It's simply because Yunlan City is just too awesome.

It's simply an incredible example.

While Zhao Mancang and his group were having a meeting, the health administration bureau in China was also holding a meeting.

"Are you saying that Comrade Lu Shengwen has recovered his health?"

The two people in front of me are the doctors who went to Yunlan City last week and met with Lu Shengwen.

They were all medical staff from the Health Bureau, sent there by their superiors.

"Yes, we have checked with our equipment, and Comrade Lu Shengwen has indeed fully recovered his health, and not just in the ordinary sense, but in a state similar to that of a normal person in their thirties."

"Not only have the cancer cells completely disappeared, but other symptoms such as high blood pressure have also vanished."

"We had a detailed conversation with Comrade Lu Shengwen and learned that apart from being treated by Dr. Zhao Mancang a few times, he spent the rest of his time eating and drinking to maintain his health."

hiss!
Upon hearing this, several doctors from the Health Bureau were all shocked.

Li Jinxiong and Peng Wenxian exchanged a glance, and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Decades ago, they performed surgery on the same stage as Zhao Mancang.

Now, thirty years have passed, and Zhao Mancang's strength has unexpectedly become even greater.

Even though Li Jinxiong and his colleagues had already entered the Health Bureau, which could be considered the pinnacle of their lives, they were still far from achieving their goals.

But in front of Zhao Mancang, they were still like younger brothers.

Lu Shengwen is suffering from late-stage pancreatic cancer, a disease that is incurable and has no cure.

Otherwise, when Lu Shengwen was sent to the Health Bureau, the doctors there would have already treated him.

"Okay, okay, are you sure that's really true?"

After seeing the two medical staff nod, Li Jinxiong could no longer sit still.

The other doctors were also restless. Even though they were in their seventies and eighties, they still wanted to go to Yunlan City to find out what was going on.

Otherwise, they would die with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

As doctors, their lifelong goal is to improve their medical skills as much as possible.

The fact that such a terminal illness as late-stage pancreatic cancer could be cured has had an unimaginable impact on Li Jinxiong and his colleagues.

When Zhao Mancang received news from China that Li Jinxiong and his team were coming to Yunlan City for a medical exchange, he couldn't help but chuckle.

They're causing trouble here again.

However, it's good that they've come; it would be nice to bring a few more top-tier doctors to Yunlan City.

The domestic doctor training system is very good.

Zhao Mancang has been contributing to this field for decades.

So, bringing a few doctors to Yunlan City at this time isn't unreasonable, is it? (End of Chapter)
