District 9

on the negotiating table.

He Chong, wearing a general's military uniform, stood up and looked at everyone and said: "Since we can come to Xinxiang for talks today, it is enough to show our sincerity. But before, due to our different political stances, it was difficult for both sides to build trust, so... Since... General Zheng has doubts about the attack on the Shensha Department, so we can open fire first, and let our third group charge towards Fengbei and fire the first shot."

When Zheng Kai heard this, he nodded slowly.

Qin Yu pondered for a long time, then slowly turned to look at Meng Xi. The latter stood up in a tacit understanding and said bluntly: "It's okay to unite, and it's okay to start a war. But if you win, how to divide the territory is a problem; if you lose, Now, how to divide the interests of all parties is also a problem."

He Chong turned to look at him: "Then how do you want to divide your army?"

"The Northeast Theater of the Sichuan Army participated in the war. Seventy thousand people from the World War II area participated in the war. The Wu mercenary group currently stationed near Erlonggang, plus more than 20,000 people from the Self-Defense Forces, there are more than 50,000 people." Meng Xi counted it like a treasure. He said: "We have invested a total of hundreds of thousands of troops. If we win, it is not too much to ask for a main city, right?"

He Chong was silent.

"We want Changji." Meng Xi frowned and continued: "If the Shensha Group is successfully overthrown, Changji must be handed over to us for self-governance. From military to political issues, the alliance will not interfere. At the same time, the general administration of the ninth district military headquarters, At least one deputy commander-in-chief position must be given up. We want three seats among the seven people at the highest conference table. We also want one position for the commander of the First and Second World War Zones."

"Is this condition too harsh?" Lu Jia frowned and said, "We have to divide the military and political affairs of the ninth district into two before the battle is won. Are you a little anxious?"

"I personally think that since we are forming a temporary coalition, we should start by saying ugly things. It is meaningless for everyone to argue in a friendly manner." Meng Xi said directly, regardless of the identity of the other party. "Just a few days ago, the troops of your two families and mine were still facing off outside Changji. With this relationship, you don't think that we are sending troops to seek justice for the He clan, right?"

Lu Jia glanced at Meng Xi in surprise and said nothing.

"What I just said are our bottom line conditions. If one of them cannot be passed, then there will be no way to form an alliance army." Meng Xi continued: "In addition, we have some additional conditions. For example, party and government self-defense The army, the Wu mercenary group, and our troops in the World War II zone do not have military support from the financial department. Now there is a war. When the three armies are in action, the issue of food and grass is the top priority. Therefore, I hope that the He clan can provide Our support in terms of military expenditure and armaments can be regarded as improving our overall strength!"

"Haha." Lu Jia laughed when he heard this, looked up at Meng Xi and asked: "Does that mean that if the coalition is not formed, you troops will not be able to fight?!"

"You're right." Meng Xi nodded: "Before General He Chong contacted us, we were actually preparing to withdraw our troops. The internal situation in District 9 is too complicated, and we can't afford it."

Lu Jia was speechless.

"We will not help solve the military expenditure issue." He Chong said briefly: "If we have to pay for the war, then if we win, why do you negotiate with us about the conditions for peace? This doesn’t make sense?!”

Meng Xi paused for a long time and made it clear: "General He Chong, you just need to understand one thing. It is not us who are being roasted on the fire now, but you. The assassination of Commander-in-Chief He has nothing to do with Sichuan." It doesn’t matter to the government, we can not fight or withdraw our troops, but you can’t, right?”

"You've gone too far!" Xue Huaili looked at Meng Xi coldly and said.

Meng Xi's words were a bit extreme, almost jabbing at He Chong's lungs with every sentence, as if he intended to anger him, but He Chong behaved very calmly, without any emotion on his face.

"Xiao Meng, please leave three points of leeway when speaking." Li Zhan waved his hand and said, "Sit down!"

Meng Xi bent down and sat down, saying nothing.

Although Li Zhan scolded Meng Xi, he had no intention of going back to the conversation, and Qin Yu, Zheng Kai, Liu Weiren and others also did not speak again.

It's very simple. This group of people all agreed that Meng Xi was right, and they also agreed with the conditions he proposed.

After a long stalemate, He Chong thought about it and said: "Let's do this. I can squeeze out some armaments and military expenses to support you, but the amount will not be too large. The total price will be around 200 million."

"General He Chong...!" Meng Xi still wanted to speak.

"This is the biggest concession we can make. If you think it's not enough, then the negotiation ends here." He Chong interrupted Meng Xi directly.

"Okay, giving 200 million can be regarded as an expression of sincerity." Li Zhan stopped and said, "This matter is settled."

"For the two hundred million, we have an additional condition." He Chong looked at Qin Yu: "Commander Wu Tianyin should have detained an officer from the Feng family, that person is Yang Xiaowei... I hope Commander Qin can help in the middle Let's make peace and let Commander Wu release him."

Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Meng Xi.

"That's the case." Meng Xi nodded.

"well!"

Qin Yu sighed tiredly, took out his cell phone and dialed Wu Tianyin's number.

"Hello?"

"Brother Yin, there is an officer named Yang Xiaowei, did you ask him to detain him?" Qin Yu asked.

"yes."

"That's it, can you let this person go?" Qin Yu said with a smile: "I took 200 million military expenses from the He Chong brothers at the negotiation table. Isn't it bad if I don't give him this little face?"

"I can't let go." Wu Tianyin replied firmly with three words.

"We are talking now. What I mean is that if there is a small conflict, we can put it aside for the time being." Qin Yu persuaded.

"What are you putting aside?" Wu Tianyin frowned and asked, "Why does He Chong want someone for the Feng Department?!"

Qin Yu was silent.

"On the surface, we asked the Feng family to cooperate with us and take Songjiang. Behind the scenes, they also instigated my army to rebel. Do they think that everyone else is stupid?" Wu Tianyin directly scolded: "Do you want to cooperate with the Feng family to instigate my army? , these are two different things! Don’t pressure me with the excuse of cooperation, let me think about the overall situation. I’m such a fucking old brat, what should I consider the overall situation?!”

"Don't get excited...!"

"I'm telling you clearly, it's useless for the Feng family to contact anyone about this matter. They must resolve it themselves with me." After Wu Tianyin said this, he hung up the phone.

Qin Yu glanced at the phone screen, put the phone on the table and said, "Did you hear it? I can't persuade him at all."

He Chong was speechless.

…

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the troops of the Sixth District Liberal Party suddenly gathered in each defense area and prepared to advance into the no-man's land of Xibo.
