The powerful mining machinery from Liebherr is operating at full capacity. Massive mining trucks, each capable of carrying over 300 tons, are bustling through the phosphate mining zones of Duke Mining, stirring up clouds of white dust across the brightndscape.


    Charlie observed these towering trucks, which stood nearly three stories high, and felt a pang of envy. If only these machines could be transported to Syria to assist Wanlong Temple in constructing a base and permanent fortifications, the effort would yield incredible results with half the usual workload. If Hamid were to acquire a few of these trucks, he could easily capture several hills in the area.


    However, he realized that these mining trucks would likely be destroyed in a matter of days, and he had no means to take them with him. The only option left was to order a new batch and arrange for their shipment to the Middle East.


    Standing beside him, Song Ruyu wore a look of despair. Although she felt trapped by Charlie and feared making any attempt to escape, she was equally unwilling to be coerced by him. She worried that if he took her away, the Poqing Society might view her as a defector. Even if they considered her a victim of kidnapping or murder, her people would lose their most valuable ally, making it nearly impossible for them to alter their future.


    Just as she was lost in her thoughts, her cell phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.


    She nced at Charlie, ready to speak, but he beat her to it: “Is that a call?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Song Ruyu nodded and replied respectfully, “It appears so.”


    Charlie instructed, “Pull it out and check who’s calling. I’ll have you answer it.”


    “Yes…” Song Ruyu responded obediently, retrieving her special phone. Upon seeing “Grand Commander” disyed on the screen, she quickly informed Charlie, “Mr. Wade, it’s Grand Commander Wu Shutong on the line.”


    Charlie replied, “Put it on speaker. If he inquires, just say everything is fine. I must warn you, if you attempt anything deceitful, it could lead to the deaths of over 10,000 soldiers, cavalry guards, and their families. In such a case, I will ensure your demise and that of your entire n as retribution.”


    Song Ruyu’s expression turned serious as she swiftly assured him, “Mr. Wade, don’t worry, I know how to respond.”


    “Alright.” Charlie nodded, signaling her to proceed. “Answer the call.”


    Song Ruyu pressed the answer button and activated the speakerphone, addressing the call, “Grand Commander,


    what instructions do you have for your subordinates?” Wu Shutong responded with a smile, “Mr. Song, I’m calling to inquire about your preparations for the uing major change.”


    Song Ruyu replied, “Everything is set. The first phase of the major changes willmence on schedule in two days. You can be assured of that, Grand Commander!”


    Wu Shutong smiled back, saying, “I haveplete confidence in Mr. Song’s capabilities. I called to inform you that once the major change is sessfully executed, you will return to the Governor’s Mansion to report to the Tongzhi. Following your report, you’ll be granted a month-long vacation to visit your family. You’ve been at the Governor’s Mansion for two years without returning home, haven’t you?”<fndfb2> Checktest chapters at f?ndnovel</fndfb2>
