District 9

inside the car.

Xiaoli looked at the strange man in front of her in confusion, her heart beating loudly: "You...what are you doing?"

The man outside the car didn't explain at all. He grabbed Xiaoli's collar and pulled her out of the car.

In the cab, the driver raised his hands and said tremblingly: "Brother, I'm the one driving the goods. What's going on?"

"Take him away too." The strange man in the lead ordered his companions expressionlessly.

…

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Songjiang, Tuzhu Street, once the compound of Tiancheng Construction Company, has now become the headquarters of the Allied Forces.

Wu Tianyin, Xiang Zehao, Zheng Kai, Liu Weiren, as well as Meng Xi, Jin Taizhu, Feng Ji and others were already sitting in the conference room of the main building.

"Everyone is here, let's have a meeting." Feng Ji sat in the main seat, held the microphone, looked up at the crowd and said: "This strategic research meeting is still centered around the issue of our Songjiang independence... .”

Everyone listened quietly. Feng Ji read more than two pages of the manuscript and talked a lot about the benefits of Songjiang's independence before he got to the point.

"I personally think that Songjiang's desire to be independent cannot be resolved through normal negotiations." Feng Ji put down the manuscript and said with a slight frown: "If you want to get the initiative, you want to force Shen Wanzhou, Xue Huaili, Lu Bosen and others. To make a compromise on the Songjiang issue, we still have to use military means to put high-intensity pressure on the other side. So I propose that our Allied forces can move around. If they don't agree, then fight. As the old saying goes, Political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and no matter how much we talk at the negotiation table, it is not as powerful as firing two shots."

Wu Tianyin hugged his shoulders, frowned and asked: "Now many of our troops are already moving closer to Changji intentionally or unintentionally, but the other party does not react too fiercely. How can you still press hard? Do you really want to fire first?"

"We just need to understand one thing now." Feng Ji replied softly: "Standing in Shen Wanzhou's position, in addition to withstanding the pressure from our allies, he also has to balance the internal military and political affairs. He Chong, Xue Huaili, Lu Bosen, all They are not of the same mind as him. This group of people is willing to cooperate with Shen Wanzhou in order to prevent the Nine Districts from collapsing. Therefore, Shen Wanzhou definitely does not want to fight a decisive battle now. Think about it, even if he is driven away by us, He also has to face the Lu Clan and the He Clan fighting for power. If he is not well balanced by then, he will also have a civil war. Since this is the result, then he might as well use our pressure to maintain this confrontation. , delayed for a few years, and gradually took over the supreme power of the military department."

Wu Tianyin didn't say anything after hearing this.

"Taking a step back, even if we have to fight a decisive battle now, with the strength of our allies, we are not weak against them." Feng Ji continued: "But from Shen Wanzhou's point of view, once they open fire, they will sink into the sand. The group will definitely use all its strength to protect the market, and the main force will inevitably be consumed! Therefore, if we put military pressure on the opponent now, we will definitely be able to seize the opportunity."

"Then do you mean to continue the military oppression of Changji?" Xiang Zehao asked.

"Yes!" Feng Ji nodded: "The Self-Defense Army, Wu's mercenary group, and Liu Weiren's troops continue to advance from three directions. Don't worry about any military friction. As long as the other side dares to fire the first shot, Then let’s start a war.”

Wu Tianyin heard the sound and looked at Zheng Kai, who nodded vaguely at him.

"Then let's do it." Xiang Zehao considered it and said: "Continuing the confrontation like this is indeed giving Shen Wanzhou some breathing time. Since he wants to be a leader so much, he has to pay a price."

Wu Tianyin frowned and suddenly asked: "The Self-Defense Army, Commander Liu, and our Wu mercenary group have all sent troops to press Changji. What about the Feng troops? What are you doing?"

This question was a bit pointed. Feng Ji was stunned for a moment and replied: "If the gun fires, our Feng troops will definitely join the war as soon as possible. There is no doubt about it. But at present, Songjiang's security issue is more important. , we also need to prevent the other party from sneak attacks. The Feng troops have rich experience in garrisoning in Songjiang City, so naturally the main force cannot be easily transferred."

Wu Tianyin smiled and said no more.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours. In the end, all parties agreed to the strategic direction proposed by Feng Ji and continued military oppression against Changji.

After the show.

Wu Tianyin stepped out with Zheng Kai, Xiang Zehao, Liu Weiren and Meng Xi.

"What do you think of this proposal to continue to oppress Chang Ji?" Zheng Kai asked with his hands behind his back.

"The direction is correct," Liu Weiren replied calmly: "But the details are a bit messy. Everyone hugged each other to keep warm. The Self-Defense Army, Wu's mercenary group, and our troops from the World War II zone all went up, but Only the Feng system has not shown up... This task allocation is not reasonable."

"Old Wu, what do you think?" Zheng Kai asked again.

"...If you want to cooperate, don't pay attention to the details, otherwise it will be very tiring and prone to conflicts." Wu Tianyin said sharply: "We live together, eat from a big pot, and usually have some calculations. That's normal, but everything has its own consequences. Let’s have some control.”

Zheng Kai nodded upon hearing this, and then everyone stopped discussing the matter.

After the Allied Forces were established, Wu Tianyin led his troops into the city. The Feng Clan was also around Songjiang and ceded a lot of territory to everyone for the garrison of the main force. Therefore, it is not an excessive request for the Feng Clan not to send troops this time. Everyone has just cooperated, and it is human nature for others to leave some backup to ensure safety.

On the day after the meeting, the Wu mercenary group, as well as the Self-Defense Forces and Liu Weiren's Department in the World War II Zone, all mobilized troops one after another to continue military oppression in the direction of Changji.

Armored vehicles, tanks, and infantry combat units were blatantly moving within the opponent's military defense zone, almost provocatively.

Fengbei.

Sitting in the office of the military and political headquarters, Lu Bosen looked up at Shen Wanzhou and asked, "They want Songjiang, how are you going to deal with them?"

"well."

Shen Wanzhou let out a long sigh and said with his hands behind his back: "The Allied Army's troops of hundreds of thousands are now strong. If we really fight, even if we win, we will still hurt our own vitality."

"You mean to give up Songjiang?" Lu Bosen asked.

"It has become a fact that Songjiang is out of control!" Shen Wanzhou frowned and asked: "Lao Lu, you said that you would fight with the other party for a thing that you don't admit, isn't it a bit of a loss?"

Lu Bosen was silent and did not say a word.

…

In the evening, around five o'clock.

Yanbei, District 8, in the interrogation room of the Foreign Affairs Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Xiaoli was handcuffed and whispered: "Damn, let me tell you, there is no free pie in the sky... If I had known that with this little money, there would be so much What a hidden danger... We might as well just accept the guests honestly."

Jiang Xue scolded speechlessly: "Don't talk nonsense, just get to the point!"
