District 9

Ma Laoer did not let the intermediary pass the message to tactfully make an appointment with Lu Jia, but directly dialed the phone number.

"Hello? Hello, who are you?" Lu Jia's voice sounded.

Ma Laoer chuckled and replied: "Hello, Sir Lu, I am the station commander of the Songjiang Station of the Military Supervision Bureau."

Lu Jia was startled: "Hey, hello, Station Master Ma."

"Haha, I've wanted to visit you for a long time, but I never had the chance. This time I'm on a business trip to Fengbei, and I really want to have a casual dinner with you. Do you think you're free?" Ma Laoer said very directly, even a little abrupt, but His intention was also here, just to see the other party's reaction.

Lu Jia blinked: "Okay, it just so happens that I also want to get to know people from the Sichuan government. In this way, I will be the host at Tianbo Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening."

"This is so embarrassing. I originally wanted to invite you, but by doing this, it seems like I am sincerely trying to get a meal."

"It's all the same, that's it."

"Okay, okay."

"Bye." Lu Jia hung up the phone.

Ma Laoer turned to look at Wu Di: "He agreed. We will meet at the Tianbo Hotel in the evening. He said he would invite me."

Wu Di considered it: "This gives you a chance. I don't have to hide it. I will go at night."

"Okay." Ma Laoer nodded.

…

Ma Laoer thought that Lu Jia would keep the banquet more private when meeting him for the first time, but he did not expect that Lu Jia would bring many people over in the evening, and not all of them were core members of their family, but there were also a lot of people. There are more than twenty friends in the Tai Z Party circle, both inside and outside.

After doing this, Wu Di and Ma Laoer felt somewhat at ease, and they enthusiastically established a friendship with him.

On the first day, everyone drank and chatted, talking about nothing, and played until late at night.

Two days later, Lu Jia made an appointment with Ma Laoer and Wu Di again. The two parties openly spent and had fun at a famous nightclub in Fengbei.

After the two sides met several times in a row, the news spread like wildfire. Many people in the industry knew that Lu Jia, Wu Di, and Ma Laoer were playing very well recently.

That night, in a well-known private club in Fengbei, Lu Jia was lying on the massage bed and said softly to Ma Laoer and Wu Di: "I understand what you are looking for me. But the situation in the World War II zone and our Lu clan is , are all embarrassed at the moment. In the big picture, we still follow the wishes of the General Administration of the Military Department... However... if some people go too far, then at the critical moment, the Lu clique will support the World War II zone."

When Wu Di heard this, he immediately added: "The World War II area will also give corresponding feedback and report to the group to keep warm."

"Yes, that's what I mean." Lu Jia said softly: "You should also pay attention to the attitude of the Feng family. The First Theater and the General Administration of Military Affairs are trying to win over them."

"Understood." Wu Di nodded.

When smart people communicate, they don't need to say too many words. After only two or three sentences, both parties already understand each other's intentions.

At this point, the Lu clique, the World War II Zone, and the Military Supervision Bureau have formed a certain tacit understanding, and the upper levels of both parties have begun to have some somewhat intimate interactions.

…

Five days later.

After long negotiations, the Chen faction in District 7 and other forces headed by Zhou Xingli finally reached a unified consensus.

The Chen faction returned Jiujiang City, and at the same time fully withdrew its troops from its own defense area, leaving part of the central area for the two armies to serve as a buffer.

At the same time, Zhou Xingli also made concessions and agreed to Chen Zhongren's appointment as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Military Department, and was independently responsible for all military command in the southwest. In addition, the General Administration of the Military Department and the Party and Government of the Seven Districts promoted more than 30 generals and politicians of the Chen family to the absolute center of power, and allocated key positions to various major departments.

For example, the chief of the police station in Nanhu City and the commander of the garrison at Inner Harbor Pier 2 are held by the backbone of the Chen family, and major positions such as the tax department, city council, and district mayor have also been arranged. A core member of the Chen family.

Zhou Xingli made this concession out of necessity. Because he does not retreat, it will be impossible for the Chen Clan to return to Jiujiang. In this way, the military situation and political balance in the Seventh District will be completely broken. First of all, the Xu clan in the World War II zone would not agree to abandon Jiujiang. In the end, they still had to fight. But now, no one is sure of winning, especially since the situation in District 9 is not yet clear, and they don't know how much help they can give to District 7, so they can only cut off their strength and get through this tense period first. Say it again.

Moreover, even if Zhou Xingli did not allow Chen Zhongren to enter the general administration of the ministry, the latter would actually be able to freely command the troops under Chen's department. Therefore, this concession only gave the Chen family a position to act independently and mobilize troops. In fact, it did not cause much loss.

After the negotiation is over.

Shen Fei and other military intelligence personnel in District 9 were also released. District 9 paid 80 million in military compensation to the Lincheng troops, and the matter was settled. And this money was also provided by the General Administration of Military Affairs. Shen Wanzhou did not approve a penny in the First War Zone.

…

What Gu Yan and Qin Yu said before made the latter feel something inexplicably. He recalled that he had not contributed much to his family over the years, so this time Qin Yu came to Yanbei and stayed for nearly a month, spending time with his wife and children, and also easing family relations.

This day is Friday, December 1, year 30 of the New Era.

This day is very important to the people of the Eighth District, because 26 years ago, the Eighth District officially announced the establishment of the region, and today is the District Construction Day.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The official media affiliated with the General Administration of Military Affairs officially announced to the outside world that General Gu Tai'an took over the highest military command.

At 10:08, the official media of the government affairs system also announced to the outside world that General Gu Tai'an had taken over the position of top administrator.

At 11:08, Gu Tai'an was interviewed at the Regional Government Affairs Office and read out his inaugural speech.

At the same time, the Eighth Region announced to the public that the positions of Commander-in-Chief of the Military Department and the Supreme Chief of Government Affairs would be abolished. From now on, the highest military and political leaders in the Eighth Region would be collectively referred to as the Governor-General.

Since then, the eight districts have been completely unified.

…

It's about eight o'clock in the evening.

Fireworks and gun salutes were set off everywhere in Yanbei City, and a large number of people walked on the streets to participate in various entertainment activities organized by the municipal government.

The streets are bustling with activity, and various stores are offering discounts. On the pedestrian street, adults were taking photos and strolling around, and a group of children were playing under various red lanterns. It was a scene of prosperity, warm and festive.

Next to the construction tower, Xiao Sang led a dozen guards and strolled slowly.

Under the bright lights in front, Qin Yu and Lin Nianlei bent down and held the boy Yi, who was not walking very steadily, walking slowly forward.

…

Spring passes and winter comes, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, two years passed, and Qi Lin, Xiao Bai, Wang Tianhui, Ruan Ming and others officially graduated after studying in the Eighth District.

The war general returns, and another story slowly begins.
