District 9

At the meeting, Ruan Ming put his hands in his hands, frowned and said: "Ignore the World War II zone, we will bear the infamy!"

"What kind of infamy is this?" Meng Xi asked back.

"Isn't this an obvious thing? Our Sichuan government saved the situation and organized the formation of the Allied Forces. We are also the most active. Now that they are suddenly withdrawing, doesn't it mean that they are playing in the World War II zone?" Ruan Ming said softly: "The Wu mercenary group and the Self-Defense Force will all be transferred back to Beifengkou. We will also withdraw to Sichuan. The 70,000 people from the World War II area will be left in the ninth district. Isn't it obvious that you are betraying your teammates? Are you still If you want to persuade Commander Zhou to put down his position, this is obviously taking advantage of the situation, who are you going to say?!"

"Xiao Ming is right." Li Zhan also lowered his head and agreed: "Anyway, the World War II zone has also given us a lot of help. If we really do this, it is indeed unkind."

"I think so too..."

"Our Sichuan government has never done anything like this."

"...!"

After hearing Meng Xi's idea, almost all the officers resisted, except He Dachuan who did not speak. But he is just a group leader, and he really doesn’t have much say in a meeting of this level.

Meng Xi saw many people objecting, but did not show any urgency. He just said calmly: "First of all, everyone must understand that military politics and human relations must be distinguished. We must first ensure the absolute interests of the Sichuan government. , are able to take into account the feelings of other military and political forces. I personally feel that the Sichuan government does not owe anything to the World War II Zone Zhou Clan. The help they provided at the beginning was not decisive, and we also sold the Tiancheng Group at a low price. Giving feedback to the other party. They can support an army for a year with this money alone. Secondly, the reason why the Allied Army can be successfully formed is because it can temporarily meet the interests of all parties. To put it bluntly, the Allied Army If it only brings endless trouble to Zhou, do you think he will wear the same pants as you?"

Everyone was silent.

"I still stick to my opinion." Meng Xi continued: "Leave the bad game of District 9 to the warlords in District 9. We will withdraw to Sichuan, keep a low profile, and rely on the future dividends of Yandao. As well as the current healthy economic development trend of Sichuan Province, our military strength will reach a higher level within three years at most. By then, the forces in the Nine Districts will be almost exhausted. We will enter the customs in one fell swoop and complete the reunification. "

"It's impossible to sell the World War II area." Qin Yu replied very directly: "Sand Bank, even after the death of his son, can continue to stick together with Shen Wanzhou and choose to advance and retreat together. Am I, Qin Yu, not even as good as them? ?! The Sichuan government traces its roots back to the World War II zone. If I don’t even care about the life and death of my old employer, then who will dare to work with me in the future?”

Meng Xi paused and asked bluntly: "Then let Commander Zhou give up his position as commander, and we can lead these 70,000 troops into Sichuan Mansion, is that okay?"

"Are you asking Commander Zhou to abdicate?" Qin Yu said with a sneer: "If you really do that, what's the difference between me and Shen Wanzhou who killed Lao He? Taking advantage of the situation, do you think the generals in the war zone will obey such a person? ?"

"Sir, I personally feel..." Meng Xi also wanted to say.

"Your train of thought has gone astray. Go out and have a cigarette to calm down." Qin Yu said without any doubt.

Meng Xi was speechless.

"Go!" Qin Yu waved his hand.

After Meng Xi hesitated for a while, he reached out to pick up the information and turned around to leave.

"Continue the meeting." Qin Yu knocked on the table and said with a normal expression: "Let's continue the discussion around the two arguments just now..."

…

Nanhu, inside the General Administration Headquarters of the Military Department.

An officer came to Qin Wenxu and whispered to him: "Please, the commander-in-chief wants to see you."

"Okay." Qin Wenxu stood up immediately.

Five minutes later, in the small conference room of the headquarters, Zhou Xingli, the military and political leader of the seventh district, Xu Hancheng, deputy commander of the World War II district, and three major general-level generals were already seated around the long table.

After Qin Wenxu entered the room, he greeted everyone very politely and then sat in the guest seat.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Xu Hancheng stepped in and said to Qin Wenxu.

Qin Wenxu adjusted his glasses and said seriously: "The current military situation in District 9 is indeed very unfavorable to us. This time I came to discuss it on behalf of Commander Shen. I hope that the general administration of the Military Headquarters in District 7 can give us certain military support."

"Shen, Sha, He, Lu, four code cards, can't they stop an alliance that has just been established less than half a year ago?" Xu Hancheng asked with a very stiff attitude.

"He Clan, Lu Clan, there is a possibility of rebellion." Qin Wenxu replied bluntly.

"Then why did they rebel?" Xu Hancheng asked.

"The reason is that the Sichuan government incited a military intelligence officer of our army to rebel, and was preparing to make a fuss about Commander He's assassination. The He family and the Lu family had two intentions. They may have taken this opportunity to find a reason to remonstrate with the soldiers. General Administration of the Military Department." Qin Wenxu answered very cautiously.

"Haha." Xu Hancheng smiled and continued to play the role of a black face: "Is the Sichuan government trying to make a fuss about this military intelligence officer, or is there something else hidden in the case of Lao He's assassination?"

Qin Wenxu paused for a while and replied: "Deputy Commander Xu, I can tell you clearly that the assassination of Commander He has nothing to do with us. Secondly, I also come here to explain that once the Sichuan government joins forces with He, Lu, and Feng to forcefully Once the gate to Fengbei is opened, the pattern of the three major districts will become very clear."

Xu Hancheng was silent.

"If the Sichuan government successfully settles in the ninth district and gets the highest power, then it will join forces with Gu Tai'an to support the Chen system's first and seventh districts." Qin Wenxu looked solemn and said very honestly: "At that time, except for the three major districts, Gu, Chen and Qin will no longer have any political voice.”

The generals in District 7 looked at each other and said nothing.

After a long silence, Xu Hancheng asked proactively: "What other cards do you have?"

"The Gu family is currently involved in the southwest and northwest, and cannot provide strong military support to the Sichuan government for the time being. Once the war starts, we can also guarantee that the Wu mercenary group and the Self-Defense Force will not have any impact on the war situation. The impact is too great. If you can block the Northeastern Theater of War before the Sichuan government sends troops, then within the Nine Districts, only Feng, He, and Lu will be left, plus a World War II area circle. We are confident that we can Defend Fengbei." Qin Wenxu said with clear thinking: "The worst result is nothing more than using Changji as the boundary and each doing his own thing."

Zhou Xingli frowned in thought and looked at Xu Hancheng.

"You should rest first and let's discuss it internally." Xu Hancheng did not reply to Qin Wenxu immediately.

"As soon as possible." Qin Wenxu stood up and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "As the old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. If Commander Zhou, Commander Xu, and all the generals present can support our Shensha Corps at this time, then our future will also be better. I will definitely be your most reliable ally!"

Zhou Xingli nodded, stood up and said, "You should rest first."

…

District 9, Fengbei.

After hesitating for a long time, Shen Wanzhou finally ordered to the Chief of General Staff: "Contact them, we have no other way."

"... After this call, we may have to...?" The chief of general staff hesitated.

"I have to take responsibility for the big guys." Shen Wanzhou sighed and said, "I will take the responsibility for the scolding."

"Yes!" The chief of general staff nodded.

at the same time.

Xiang Zehao was frantically reorganizing more than 7,000 soldiers who had escaped from the prison camp, while several other military and political forces were also frantically mobilizing troops to replenish the combat troops.

…

Chongdu, outside the division department.

Meng Xi stood alone in the ice and snow, smoking.

"Hey, don't get angry." He Dachuan came from behind and persuaded softly: "No matter how trusted the military advisor is, it is impossible for all his plans to be adopted. Please be patient."

Meng Xi took a puff of cigarette, turned around with a smile and said, "Before I proposed it, I knew that the teacher would not agree."

He Dachuan was shocked: "Then you still mentioned it? Didn't you hit the muzzle of the gun yourself?!"

"You don't understand. The teacher needs someone who can say those words." Meng Xi turned to look at the night sky: "...Before, I thought that our teacher Qin was relatively young and not very politically skilled... Now it seems that it's me It’s too short-sighted.”

"What are you talking about?" He Dachuan asked confused.

…

Early the next morning.

Qin Yu received a call from He Chong: "Hello?"

"Let's talk, Master Qin?" He Chong asked bluntly.

"Okay!" Qin Yu agreed.
