District 9

There are three military-level combat units under the Pu Department Headquarters, namely the 56th Army, which is connected to the northwest front, the 57th Army, which is connected to the southwest front, and the garrison directly under the headquarters, which is responsible for internal garrison matters in the old triangle area.

Among them, the 56th Army is the absolute main force of the Pu Clan Corps. Including the logistics personnel, there are about 40,000 people. It also fights the famous 197 and 196 combat brigades in the northwest, all of which are in the combat sequence of the 56th Army.

The 57th Army, as well as the garrison directly under the headquarters, were all reorganized later, because at the beginning, there were only two military-level combat units in the Pu Department. But later, there were frequent wars in the southwest and northwest, and Pu Xiazi wanted to be better. In charge of the fifth district, he needed money and supplies, so he cut the other army in half and established the 57th Army and the garrison directly under the headquarters.

The current commander of the 57th Army is Wu Junsheng. His army has about 23,000 people. He has one division and two brigades under him and is mainly responsible for military matters on the southwest line.

Some people may be wondering, why does an army only have so few people? In fact, there is nothing that can be done about it, because as mentioned before, Pu Xiazi’s purpose of reorganizing the two armies is to force expansion and control the fifth district to require more military expenses and supplies, so whether it is the 57th Army or the garrison , are all in a state of less than full strength, including the garrison, which only has more than 20,000 people, and this is the result of the recent continuous replenishment of troops.

…

After Wu Junsheng, Pu Sheng, Pu Xingquan and other dozens of officers returned to their respective units, the military structure in the old triangle area changed instantly, because everyone knew what happened in the Menghan area. Troops at all levels in the northwest have entered a very tense state.

In the evening, around five o'clock.

The Pu Corps Headquarters began to call the 57th Army Headquarters and the First City Defense Brigade Headquarters of the Garrison Army managed by Pu Xingquan. They ordered Wu Junsheng, Pu Xingquan and other officers to arrive at the headquarters before 8 p.m. Report.

The call document clearly stated that Pu Xiazi was only slightly injured and was not seriously ill. However, the 57th Army Headquarters and the City Defense Brigade Headquarters did not give a clear response. They only said that they could not contact their military commanders at the moment. .

After the call in the name of the headquarters failed, Pu Xiazi also personally called Wu Junsheng, Pu Xingquan and others, but they didn't answer any of them and couldn't be contacted at all.

As a result, the headquarters also became nervous, because countless such incidents proved that whenever the military chief lost contact, a mutiny was very likely to occur.

Along the Mek River.

In the 57th Army's military headquarters, Wu Junsheng, Pu Sheng, Pu Xingquan, and more than 20 major military officers were sitting in a very private conference room, discussing what to do next.

To be honest, except for a few people in the room, most of the officers did not want to see things come to this point. Their appeal was very simple, that is, they did not want to cooperate with the three major districts, rather than truly To rebel and seize some power.

The goals and motivations of this group of people supporting the Fifth District are not complicated. Some of them are just out of selfish motives. For example, Wu Junsheng, who takes about three to four billion in military expenditures from the Fifth District under the table every year. , and this money is completely at his own disposal. If the Pu Department cooperates with the three major districts in the future, will he still have this money? It must be gone, because he has been in contact with the fifth district for many years to get this kind of bonus, but he has no such relationship with the three major districts.

In addition, although Wu Junsheng came from a grassroots background, he also studied at the Army University and the Senior Commanders Academy in the fifth district, so he has a wide network of contacts in the fifth district, and his sons and girls are all with those in the fifth district. If there is a political marriage, whether it is from a family or personal career perspective, it will be difficult for him to separate from the Fifth District.

In addition to personal selfishness, there are many people in this room who simply reject the three major districts. For example, Pu Ming's old troops are dissatisfied because this unit has a blood feud with the eighth district and the Sichuan clan. The highest military commander Pu Ming, as well as many key officers in the brigade, all died at the hands of the other party. Many of the Pu clique officers were related to each other, and they could not accept cooperation with the three major districts.

In addition, after Pu Ming's death, Pu Xingbang took over the 197th Brigade. As soon as the latter took office, he began to clean up the old-school officers. As a result, this group of people are not doing well now. They can only follow Pu Xingquan to live in the city defense brigade, so I feel Imbalance and dissatisfaction are no longer accumulated for a day or two.

In other words, not only do they dislike the Sichuan Clan and the Ninth District, but they are also somewhat dissatisfied internally.

But this does not mean that everyone must rebel. Many people just want to make a different voice and force the headquarters to continue cooperating with the fifth district. However, they never expected that Pu Xiazi was assassinated just as the matter was going on.

The timing of this incident was too sensitive, forcing everyone to escape first and return to their own troops for safety. But they came back, but what should they do next?

In the room, Wu Junsheng turned to look at Pu Xingquan and said concisely: "Although I am the commander of the army, I don't have your appeal. Xingquan, you have to give everyone an idea about what to do now."

"You can't listen to the call from the headquarters." Pu Sheng took the lead and said: "You shot when you came out, and now you go back, how do you explain it to the headquarters?! I'm not afraid of being punished, I'm afraid that some people will give us our heads If you label yourself as a rebel, that will be the end of it...!"

Pu Xingquan was silent.

"We have to make a decision quickly, otherwise we will wait for the headquarters to move first." Wu Junsheng frowned again and said: "If the headquarters starts to mobilize troops, our situation will be even more embarrassing. If we fight, we are rebelling. If we don't fight, there will be no fucking explanation. clear."

Pu Xingquan rubbed his face and said nothing.

"I have an idea." The teacher below Wu Junsheng suddenly raised his head and said.

"What do you think?" Pu Xingquan asked.

"Military admonition to the headquarters!" The division commander pondered for a long time and said with a resolute face: "Your city defense brigade has about 6,000 people. If we assemble now, we will fight back to Menghan. It will be difficult for the headquarters to reflect it! We have control The troops in Menghan City executed the Sichuan Faction and the inspection team from the Ninth District, which cut off the commander's possibility of cooperating with the three districts... Then, we united all the generals who opposed the faction and returned to Menghan together to die to the commander. Cambodia!”

After the words fell, everyone was silent.

"There is no other choice now." The division commander continued: "If you don't answer the call and you don't answer the phone, what will you do if someone from the headquarters directly calls you back? If the headquarters gathers other troops, call them. How should you respond to the sudden changes on our side?"

"You can give it a try." Wu Junsheng raised his head and said to Pu Xingquan: "You and I share the responsibility for executing two people from the inspection team. Even if the headquarters orders me to be shot, I will accept it! We are soldiers, It doesn't make any difference whether you die on the battlefield or in court! For the future of Lao Sanjia, it's worth doing this!"

This is a beautiful thing to say, but Wu Junsheng has other ideas in mind, because once the military remonstrance is successful and the Pu clique continues to cooperate with the fifth district, the blind man in Napu will most likely not touch him.

Pu Xingquan thought carefully for a few seconds: "Okay, let's do it!"

…

Chongdu.

The First Independent Division had completely boiled over. Qin Yu personally ordered that, except for the necessary garrison units, all other troops should move to the southwest border and wait for combat orders.
