Is there really so much in Chapter 83?

Wang Xiuyuan felt a dull ache in his gums; he didn't know whether he should be happy or miserable right now.

Nearly a thousand people! That was almost five times the size of the Peace Gang. Just how much money and how many system points would that yield?

A simple calculation of five times the returns wasn't an exaggeration!

However, trying to handle nearly a thousand people in a single night was indeed a bit too difficult; this matter required careful planning.

It wasn't that Wang Xiuyuan was unwilling to deal with these three gangs in three separate batches, but the reality of the situation simply wouldn't allow it.

Although Wang Xiuyuan hadn't paid attention to the situation in Boston over the past few days, he could guess just by using his brain how much turmoil the collective disappearance of the Peace Gang's core members and their families would cause.

The other gangs in Boston would certainly take advantage of the Peace Gang's leaderless state to completely wipe them out and then carve up their territory.

The scenario of various gangs fishing in troubled waters and repeatedly backstabbing each other would definitely play out; Boston was bound to fall into chaos.

Boston's law enforcement agencies would surely be busy beyond belief, putting all their effort into investigating the cause of the Peace Gang high-level's collective disappearance.

Therefore, Wang Xiuyuan only had one chance to strike in New York; he had to wipe out all the high-level members of these three major gangs in one fell swoop.

If he couldn't deal with all three gangs simultaneously in one night, he would have to wait a very long time for a second opportunity.

Time was what Wang Xiuyuan lacked most; he still wanted to get his hands on the full set of technical data for the Glock pistol series early—he had been eyeing that for a long time.

"Even if we can't catch them all, we have to try. We can't leave any hidden dangers. Although we're short-handed, it's not impossible."

Wang Xiuyuan stared intently at the documents in his hand, his eyes quickly scanning through the information.

"Give me a pen!"

Holt pulled a ballpoint pen from his breast pocket and handed it to Wang Xiuyuan, then watched as Wang Xiuyuan circled and sketched on the paper.

A few minutes later, Wang Xiuyuan finally looked up.

"You only have forty-odd people, so it's definitely impossible to capture nearly a thousand gang members in one night. Therefore, we need to distribute these thousand people reasonably.

Take the retired veterans of the three major gangs, for example.

Although these retired veterans still live in New York, most reside in Chinatown or its surrounding areas.

However, after retirement, they basically don't have much contact with their original gangs; at most, the gangs will deliver dividends to their homes at the end of each year.

So, as long as our subsequent processing speed is fast enough, these people disappearing for a few days won't be a major issue. Their neighbors will most likely think they've gone on a trip or to a child's house.

I've roughly estimated that the retired veterans of the three major gangs and their families account for over two hundred people.

In other words, capturing these two hundred-plus people likely won't alert the others."

Holt added, "But the remaining seven hundred people still aren't something we can finish capturing in one night, so we need to continue breaking it down."

"Exactly!" Wang Xiuyuan agreed with Holt's point and continued.

"We also need to spend one night specifically capturing the parents, lovers, illegitimate children, wives, and children of these gang members. Any relevant personnel who are not with the gang members that night are within the scope of the cleanup.

That night, we only focus on capturing people and don't need to consider anything else. Capturing these people isn't very dangerous, and they are relatively concentrated.

One night should be more than enough.

Then, the following night will be our final concluding stage.

I'm only providing the general idea; you guys should plan the specific capture scheme yourselves. You are the professionals in this regard.

If conditions permit, you can actually start moving after dark; there's no need to wait until late at night."

Holt took the documents back from Wang Xiuyuan and stuffed them into his pocket, promising Wang Xiuyuan in a firm tone:

"I know what to do, Boss. We will arrange these matters. Please rest assured."

After saying that, Holt left the living room to find his teammates and discuss the specific capture plan.

As they spent more time together and experienced more things, Wang Xiuyuan became increasingly confident in Holt's competence.

Holt was indeed an elite from the Delta Force; his rank of Lieutenant wasn't earned through luck, but through solid ability and a proven track record.

Wang Xiuyuan had assigned Holt two missions, and the results Holt delivered both times were very satisfying.

Even if Holt couldn't come up with a countermeasure immediately this time, once Wang Xiuyuan gave a slight hint and a specific direction, Holt would surely be able to formulate a more reliable execution plan based on Wang Xiuyuan's foundation.

This was because Holt and this group of bodyguards all possessed superb professional skills; they were professional tactical execution talents.

Some people are born for strategy; letting them control the direction and formulate strategy makes them true strategic masters because they possess the vision and ability to overlook the entire situation.

However, these strategic masters often cannot work at the grassroots level; their practical ability doesn't match their mental capacity at all, making it difficult for them to fully realize the ideas in their heads.

A typical representative is the Ming Dynasty's Grand Secretary, Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng never worked in grassroots government offices and had no experience governing a region, but every national policy he formulated was a good one that could lead the Ming Dynasty onto the right path.

Others are born tactical masters; if you give them a specific command, they can complete the task perfectly according to your requirements, often far exceeding your expectations.

These tactical masters have very rich work experience at the grassroots level and are familiar with everything there.

No matter how difficult the task, as long as it's handed to them, they can always overcome all difficulties to complete it.

However, these tactical masters also have visible shortcomings, namely a lack of overall global vision and insufficient long-term strategic insight.

A typical representative is Hai Rui from the same period as Zhang Juzheng.

Hai Rui initially served in local government for nine years with outstanding achievements, but after being transferred to the central court, he had no decent performance for two years. Later, he risked his life to submit the 'Memorial on Peace and Governance' and was thrown into prison by the Jiajing Emperor.

After his reinstatement, he served in Jiangnan and implemented the Single Whip Reform promoted by Zhang Juzheng, also with remarkable achievements. He even thoroughly dealt with the family of Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng's teacher and former Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty.

Hai Rui's tactical execution ability was top-notch, but his strategic level was generally poor, so much so that he offended too many people.

This was also the direct reason why Hai Rui's official career was interrupted many times, leaving him to live in leisure at home.

Wang Xiuyuan knew very well the respective strengths of these bodyguards led by Holt. They had executed missions like capturing and killing people in the military countless times; there was no need for him to worry at all.
