The purpose of Ye Hao's visit to Karachi this time is to crush these four factions...
Or rather, to conquer these four factions and make them submit to his powerful family.
Of course! Truly conquering them might indeed be a bit challenging, as the combined forces of these four factions amount to nearly thirty thousand soldiers. Although Karachi has a general population of twenty million, the warlord forces alone have nearly thirty thousand men, and they are non-regular soldiers. Ye Hao couldn't help but lament how weak the control forces in this country truly are!
Consider this, Huaxia has a population of 1.3 billion, and its official military forces are just over a million.
In contrast, Karachi alone has a non-regular army of thirty thousand; you can imagine, if this kind of government experienced some turbulence, what kind of scene that might create?
Ye Hao, along with several others, walked on Karachi's Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road, a main thoroughfare that connects Karachi's coast in the south to Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, in the north.
Ye Hao was currently leading his group towards Queen's Market and the vicinity of the City Hall because only in the central area of Karachi can it be considered a safe zone. In other places, large-scale fights and gunfire can break out at any time.
"Boss, where are Ran Tai and the others?" asked one of the men walking on the road, all wearing worn-out military uniforms, giving no one the nerve to check Ye Hao and his group's credentials.
Ye Hao had previously researched Karachi's environment and forces, which is why they dressed like this. In Karachi, there is a group called the Eight Banner Sect, who wear outdated Huaxia military uniforms, so Ye Hao specifically investigated the origins of the Eight Banner Sect.
The investigation results were shocking to Ye Hao.
The reason is that during the late Qing Dynasty, a prince led the Eight Banner Sect away from Huaxia amidst the Eight-Nation Alliance invasion. They relocated to Thailand, Laos, and Burma, entering the Golden Triangle area, hoping one day to restore the glory of the Qing Dynasty. Over the years, the Eight Banner Sect has developed remarkably, spreading its drug trade worldwide, and even sending people to expand in foreign countries or nearby cities like Karachi.
Hence, Ye Hao had his people dress similarly to the Eight Banner Sect in their dilapidated military uniforms; otherwise, they would have been questioned long ago. After all, when Ye Hao and his group walk together, they naturally emit an extraordinary aura.
"I'll contact them." Ye Hao took out a phone prepared by Qin Xiweng, which allowed for direct communication upon his arrival.
As soon as Ye Hao dialed, Ran Tai on the other end immediately picked up the phone.
"Boss, where have you guys reached?" Ran Tai asked excitedly on the phone. Standing beside him were two people: Wu Gang on the left and Duke of Thunder on the right. Below stood over forty men, twenty-nine of whom were mercenaries brought by Wu Gang, while the remaining ten or so were Ran Tai's former underlings, including a few sent by Qin Xiweng to manage financial affairs related to the local currency.
"On Muhammad Ali Jinnah Main Road in Karachi," replied Ye Hao.
"Alright, I'll come to pick you up immediately," Ran Tai replied with excitement, thinking how the boss surely brought experts along. With the addition of such experts, solving the issues in Karachi would become much easier.
Of course, if it came to a straightforward gunfight, Ye Hao and his men would be at a disadvantage, or even have no advantage at all. However, Ye Hao's team was comprised of brave and skilled fighters, with more high-end National Martial Arts practitioners than other forces, so Ran Tai believed that as long as Ye Hao used some strategy, he would surely settle the factions in Karachi, Pakistan, with ease.
After hanging up, Wu Gang and Duke of Thunder immediately volunteered to drive and pick up Ye Hao and the others.
But Ran Tai glared at them and said, "I'll go, you all stay."
"Why?" questioned Duke of Thunder and Wu Gang, feeling dissatisfied.
"The boss said he has something to discuss with me," Ran Tai replied with a pout.
"Nonsense! Shameless, I don't care, I'm going too," Wu Gang, who was now more familiar in Pakistan than back in Peng City, retorted casually.
Although Duke of Thunder joined later, he was of a bold nature, so after arriving in Pakistan, he quickly bonded with the others. So now, hearing that Ye Hao had arrived, he too insisted on going to meet him.
"I'm not staying back either, I'm going," insisted Duke of Thunder.
"Damn it! Do you guys even see me as the boss..." Ran Tai shouted, fuming with anger at Duke of Thunder and the others.
"I don't care. Since Ye's here, I'm going," Duke of Thunder said before heading out of the hotel to drive.
Seeing this, Wu Gang also ignored Ran Tai and walked out.
Seeing this, Ran Tai cursed them, "You two bastards!"
However, Ran Tai wasn't slow on his feet and quickly chased after them.
The group reached Muhammad Ali Jinnah's main road, quickly heading towards where Ye Hao and the others were located.
One must admit, although Karachi was chaotic, these transport routes were smoother than those in Huaxia's domestic areas. In Pakistan, people generally were impoverished, and only outsiders who developed locally might have a bit of money.
These main routes were either for military use or for wealthy people to drive on. As for the poor, even taking public transportation was a challenge.
Ye Hao and the others waited for more than half an hour before Ran Tai and his group arrived in three BMW X6s.
Ye Hao was stunned at the sight, thinking Ran Tai and the others came to Pakistan not for fights, but for enjoyment? Damn! These are BMW X6s! And they're luxury versions.
Though Ye Hao was mentally groaning, he understood this was just for appearances. Once it got to doing something secretly, the risks would reach extreme levels.
"Boss!" Ran Tai, Duke of Thunder, and Wu Gang greeted Ye Hao as they approached him.
Ye Hao smiled and nodded, knocking each of their shoulders with his fist.
"Brother Ran, Brother Wu, Old Lei," greeted Xue Zhaolong and others to Duke of Thunder and the others with a smile. They greeted each other because they were Ye Hao's brothers from the start until now, unlike Tao Feng and others who were simply Ye Hao's subordinates...
"Haha, Long, you guys are here too, Elder Zheng, good to see you!" laughed Ran Tai as he exchanged greetings with Xue Zhaolong and the others, then greeted Zheng Guang.
As for the others, their interactions could only continue later in the evening when they gathered more leisurely.
For now, it was best to escort Ye Hao and his group back to a safer area within the city to avoid opportunistic people from rival factions causing trouble.
Ye Hao and his men entered the BMW X6s, with Ran Tai and the others driving them to the City Hall, the central area of Queen's Market.
Ye Hao, upon seeing Wu Gang's nearly thirty mercenary brothers, almost didn't recognize them, as this was a whole different level from earlier National Martial Arts practitioners.
Ye Hao estimated that each of them was now roughly at the third level of National Martial Arts.
Ye Hao couldn't help but praise the Shaolin's 72 Skills combined with the chaotic environment in Pakistan that honed these men!
After all, how long had they been here? Their strength had already jumped at least two levels... (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
