District 9

In Yanbei, District 8, at the headquarters of the Gu Corps, a staff officer tentatively asked Gu Tai'an: "Governor, how about I go see him?"

Gu Tai'an thought about it for a long time: "Forget it, let him come to the office and let me see him."

"Okay." The adjutant heard and left.

"You should be busy with your business." Gu Tai'an waved to the people in the room.

About ten minutes later, the staff officer sent by Liu Weiren was brought into the office after strict inspection by the guards. He respectfully saluted Gu Tai'an and shouted: "Hello, Governor."

Gu Tai'an raised his head and glanced at the other person, stood up and walked to the sofa area next to the desk and said, "Sit down."

"Okay." The staff officer responded, walked straight to the sofa area, bent down and sat on the left side.

Gu Tai'an crossed his legs and sat on the sofa, quietly watching his guard serve tea to the other party without saying a word first.

"Governor, there is a war in the old triangle area. In order to regain the sovereignty of Yandao, the Eighth District, the Seventh District, and the Sichuan Mansion will use all their strength to take advantage of the shame of Xuejinmen Port." The staff officer pondered for a while and said: "The Nineth District originally There should be no reason to join the war, but the war on the front line has just begun, and people with ulterior motives in the ninth district are actively provoking military friction... Governor Gu, you are the recognized supreme leader of the three districts. On behalf of the World War II district, I hope that the eight Can the district be able to say a few more fair words to us in the face of internal friction like this in the ninth district..."

Gu Tai'an was holding the tea cup and was listening to the other party's speech quietly, but as soon as he was halfway through speaking, a staff officer from the command in the distance came over, bent down and said: "Governor, World War II Zone Headquarters Telegraph..."

"Say." Gu Tai'an turned around and replied.

"The troops of the Lincheng Army have been assembled. The World War II Zone Headquarters asked if they should set off and advance towards the old triangle area?" the staff officer asked.

Gu Taian thought for a moment: "Let them leave."

"Yes!" The staff officer left after receiving the order.

The representative from the ninth district glanced at Gu Tai'an, rubbed his palms, and continued to speak.

"Governor!" At this time, the Governor's personal secretary from the Eighth Region Headquarters also walked over quickly, bent down and said: "The media from the Asian Alliance Government, as well as some media from the European Union Zone, have arrived at the reception venue. The Ministry of Information We will confirm the follow-up itinerary with us.”

"I won't go to this military press conference. Let the General Staff go to the meeting." Gu Tai'an waved his hand and replied.

"One more thing. This is the pre-approved military expenditure for World War II areas from the Ministry of Finance. Do you think...?" The secretary pulled out a report form from the folder.

Gu Tai'an took it, glanced at it roughly, frowned slightly and said: "Damn it, if you move it, you'll get money, bring me a pen...!"

The secretary heard the sound and handed over the pen and the folder on which to write.

Gu Tai'an crossed his legs and signed his name in a flash.

The representative of the ninth district was interrupted several times while speaking. He looked at Gu Tai'an who had no time to spare and fell silent for no reason.

Gu Tai'an sat on the sofa. In less than ten minutes, he dealt with six or seven things in succession that required him to express his position. Then he picked up the tea cup and said: "Oh, in extraordinary times, there is only one person in the headquarters." Just use it for two people."

The ninth district representative sat up straighter when he heard this, but he didn't know how to reply.

"You should have paid attention to the military news. With the war in the Old Triangle, the situation is much more serious than expected." Gu Tai'an put down his tea cup and said with a chuckle: "Even the troops from the World War II zone have to be brought in for reinforcements, haha , I don’t have many guns left in my hand. Without cannons, tanks, and troops, it’s hard to speak forcefully! It’s useless to just rely on my mouth to express support.”

"Governor...!" The representative from the ninth district wanted to speak.

Gu Tai'an waved his hand, looked at him and replied: "Although the three regions are connected by blood, it is difficult for outsiders to meddle in their respective internal problems."

When the representative from the ninth district heard this, he felt desperate.

"The main energy of the Eighth District will be on the military conflict with the Five District. The guns have been fired, and it is definitely unrealistic for the large troops to withdraw to break up the conflict." Gu Tai'an said lightly: "I personally have no opinion on the issue of the Ninth District. , I hope that the Ninth District can be resolved peacefully. Let’s sit down and talk. If the Ninth District is too hot, there’s no problem in coming to my place to talk, haha!”

The representative of the ninth district stood up upon hearing the sound and replied half-bent: "I understand, Governor."

"Well, you have a message for Lao Zhou. Tell him that when brothers fight, it depends on their own bodies." Gu Tai'an stood up, pointed at the other person and said: "An outsider can start a fight once, but not a hundred times. Isn’t that true?”

The representative from District 9 was startled for a moment: "Okay, I will definitely bring this to you."

"I'm very busy, so I won't keep you." Gu Tai'an smiled, waved his hand, and called back: "Xiao Wang, put a few boxes of tea in my cabinet and ask him to take it back to Lao Zhou."

"Yes, Governor!" the secretary replied immediately.

Five minutes later, the representative of the ninth district left. The chief of staff walked to Gu Tai'an and asked: "Governor, the fact that the World War II district can send people to our side to request assistance shows that their situation is already very difficult. Do you think...?" "

"You still need to be strong in order to strike. If he is one step behind, I can push him; if he is a hundred steps behind, how can I push him?" Gu Tai'an replied calmly: "It's a difficult situation. You have to get out of it on your own."

The chief of staff nodded when he heard this.

…

In the evening, around four o'clock.

Liu Weiren went to the World War II District Headquarters and said to Commander Zhou: "...I'm afraid District 8 will not give us any critical help for the time being."

Commander Zhou put his hands in his hands with a serious face and said nothing.

"Governor Gu means that the war in the Old Triangle has involved too much energy in the Eighth District. Now that the front line has opened fire, it is impossible for the troops to withdraw and get involved in the civil war in the Nineth District." Liu Weiren continued: "...So, he hopes that we To be able to peacefully resolve the internal problems in District 9... The meaning of this is that we should delay it."

Commander Zhou waved his hand: "There's no point in procrastinating. Lao Gu's meaning is obvious. If we can't get some space and hope in the ninth district, the eighth district will not risk intervening in other districts' internal affairs and risking failure. Field."

Liu Weiren was silent.

"District 8 will not enter, and neither will District 7." Commander Zhou stood up: "You really need to rely on yourself for this matter."

"The Feng family has not expressed its position for a long time, and is still preparing to mediate," Liu Weiren frowned and replied: "This... This attitude seems to be towards us, but it is also a bit ambiguous and hesitant."

"Winning over the Feng family is the key." Commander Zhou said sharply: "If they choose our side, the situation will turn around."

…

In the Old Triangle, in the Naypyitaw area, the two corps of District 5 are advancing crazily. The 56th Army of the Pu Department, which had been severely damaged, after three hours of fierce fighting, the frontline troops collapsed again and could only continue to retreat.

at the same time.

On the sea, the fleet in Area 5 began to maintain the same rhythm as Naypyidaw's 90,000 army troops, exerting forward pressure.

The fleet in Area 7 is always afraid that the river mouth port will be lost, and that it will lose its supply transfer station and be wiped out. Therefore, it can only retreat part of the space backwards in a stalemate to ensure its combat power.

For a time, the war advantage of the old triangle was constantly tilted towards the fifth area.
