District 9

If we want to fight, we must not fight forcefully, blindly, or without any strategic goals.

The reason why Gu Tai'an gave Qin Yu support was because he had his own keen judgment on the current situation. First of all, after the negotiations to share the interests of Yandao began, the Gu clique, Chen clique, and Sichuan clique in the eighth district formed a tense military confrontation with the anti-Chen forces in the ninth and seventh districts.

Lin Yaozong's entire army had approached Sichuan Prefecture a few days ago, and his purpose here was to tightly contain the military forces of the ninth district to prevent them from entering the civil war in the seventh district at the critical moment.

At the same time, the Army troops of the Chen clan in the Seventh District were also intertwined, forming a point-to-point confrontation with the General Administration troops of the Seventh District Military Headquarters and the Seventh District World War II Zone troops.

In this way, Qin Yu only used two regiments to mobilize the enemy defenders in the Jiujiang area. They all went to support the 133rd regiment before the main force of the Sichuan government moved.

Under this situation, only the 10,000 men of the Independent First Division could possibly capture Jiujiang in a short time.

Based on the above reasons, this is why Gu Tai'an expressed his support for Qin Yu. Because he felt that there was something wrong with this matter, rather than purely admiring Qin Yu, he supported his last disciple's nonsense purely out of personal emotions.

Gu Tai'an is the leader of the Eighth District. He shoulders the heavy burden of the region's rise and the hope and trust of tens of millions of people, so he will never mess around with Qin Yu just because his head is hot. To put it bluntly, if this matter is not feasible, even if Gu Yan is caught, he will not take drastic measures.

This is like the civil war in the old triangle area, where Pu Xiazi is the commander in chief, but has no way to save his son.

Being an emperor is not easy. Behind the power, there are many times when one can endure things that ordinary people cannot tolerate.

Of course, Gu Xi's proposal to send troops this time was also due to the Iron Alliance's position. The Sichuan and Chen factions are their staunch allies. If one of them moves, it will be difficult for the other two to stay out of it.

Moreover, with Gu Tai'an's political wisdom, he saw many opportunities in this matter.

…

After finishing the phone call with Qin Yu.

Gu Tai'an issued three orders in succession:

First, order the Second Field Army of the Second World War Zone in District 8 and Lincheng to directly confront the troops of the Shen and Sha factions in District 9 along the borders of Sichuan and Jiangzhou, blocking them outside the circle and preventing them from attacking Qi. District anti-Chen forces provided support.

This order is the same as Lin Cheng's strategic purpose of coming here, so the troops do not need to be adjusted. They only need to strengthen the details and strictly guard against the troops from the ninth district that may come to support.

Second, Gu Tai'an gave an order to Fatty Teng, ordering his division to unconditionally support Qin Yu's attack on Jiujiang, cooperate with the Sichuan army as much as possible, and complete the strategic goals in a short time.

Third, Gu Tai'an ordered the Northwest Advance Army to immediately contact Pu Xiazi. The two sides jointly strengthened their forces near the northwest line and Sanfeng Mountain to prevent the fifth district from joining the war and provoking a wider military conflict in troubled waters.

As soon as the three orders were issued, all the troops inside and outside the country were mobilized, and naturally this news could not be concealed from the Seventh District General Administration.

…

In the General Political Conference Room of the Military Headquarters, Zhou Xingli had already changed into his military uniform, looked at everyone with sharp eyes, and issued various orders: "The General Staff Headquarters, immediately call the 9th District and 1st War Zone to order their troops to support us. Contain Lincheng's Second Field Army."

"yes!"

"Order, the garrison in the city and the regiment directly under the military headquarters to implement full-scale martial law and control in Nanhu. If a war breaks out, any troops or officers who disobey orders can be controlled and surrendered as soon as possible."

"Yes!" The commander of the city's garrison immediately stood up and saluted.

"Order, all combat troops in the Second World War Zone will enter a state of war against the First War Zone." Zhou Xingli continued: "We must strictly guard against the Chen clique taking the initiative to initiate a mutiny."

"yes!"

"Order the naval headquarters and warships to enter the designated position. If necessary, open fire on all rebel forces..." Zhou Xingli was really anxious, because no one had calculated in advance that Qin Yu only wanted to save a woman. Just fucking dare to attack Jiujiang with 10,000 people.

After the defense order was issued, Zhou Xingli began to deploy Jiujiang: "Xu Hancheng!"

"Here!" Xu Hancheng stood up.

"Jiujiang is your territory in the World War II zone, and its security is entirely your responsibility." Zhou Xingli pointed at him and said, "Mobilize your troops now and capture the Sichuan troops there for me at all costs."

"Yes!" Xu Hancheng replied after saluting.

"Everyone, the Cold War has been going on for a long time. I believe that everyone had foreseen today's situation." Zhou Xingli held the table and said loudly: "After Gu Tai'an climbed to the top, he challenged him again and again. To start a large-scale military war, this is militarism. This is an iron warlord who has no regard for the prospects of the region and the livelihood of the people. We must fight back firmly to ensure that the sovereignty of our Seventh District is not infringed. At the same time, I also believe that in Gu Tai'an's case With the frequent use of troops, the resource reserves of the Eighth District cannot support them in long-term operations. This time, we will repel him and hurt him so that he will not dare to talk about military affairs in ten years."

"Hooraa!"

More than forty senior generals and officers in the room all stood up and saluted in unison.

"Hit the Iron Warlord!"

…

Outside Nanhu, inside the First Theater Command.

After Chen Zhongren fired the first shot in Sichuan Mansion, he immediately led his people out of the city center and returned to his base camp.

In the conference room of the headquarters, Chen Zhongren drank tea calmly and calmly, with a calm look on his face.

On both sides of the conference table, the generals and officers waited quietly, without anyone speaking first.

"Report!"

Suddenly, the communications officer stood up and shouted: "There is a call from the Eighth District Gu Department Headquarters."

"Who called?" Chen Zhongren asked.

"Commander-in-Chief Gu!"

"Take it." Chen Zhongren put down the teacup and picked up the phone.

"Hello? Old Chen!" Gu Tai'an's hearty voice sounded.

"What are your orders, Commander Gu?" Chen Zhongren replied with a smile.

"Haha, you and I are both commanders, we can't even give orders." Gu Tai'an said with a smile: "Qin Heizi is fooling around on the surface, but his head is not empty. He thinks Jiujiang is an opportunity, I think we can do it, how about we work together Make a scene?"

"Okay," Chen Zhongren responded immediately: "Then let's make a scene."

"The troops in District 9 will be blocked by the Gu department; the internal issues in District 7 will be dealt with by you." Gu Tai'an said concisely: "Just defeat them and that's it."

"Okay." Chen Zhongren nodded.

"The war is over, you and I can meet and chat about home affairs, haha!"

"I must keep the appointment."

After a few simple conversations between the two big guys, both sides felt confident.

Chen Zhongren hung up the phone, stood up suddenly and said: "All the troops will be centered in the seventh district, and slowly spread out in all directions, blocking every reinforcement of the enemy. Before Qin Yu opens the gate of Jiujiang, whoever loses the chain, I will Just hit someone!"

…

In Nanhu City.

The former commander of the special operations brigade of the Southwest Advance Army, dressed in casual clothes, personally reported to Chen Jun on the phone: "We have reached the target."

"The order from above has come down, let's do it." Chen Jun replied calmly.
