District 9

All matters related to Chen Jun's entry into the city were handled by his army staff and Chen Zhongren's headquarters. There were not many insiders on both sides, in order to keep the information strictly confidential and prevent accidents.

But even so, Chen Jun's convoy was still attacked. It is impossible for the news to leak from his side, because everyone who knows this is willing to follow Chen Jun in the "uprising". There is no possibility of rebellion, so the problem must lie with the headquarters.

Fortunately, Brother Jun’s head is not empty. He has already been betrayed once in the EU area, so it is impossible for him to actually follow the arrangements given by the headquarters when Nanhu is about to be surrounded. into the city for peace talks.

In the car that was attacked, there were only guards, drivers, and a stand-in who was dressed like Chen Jun and had a similar build. They took the right path, while Chen Jun himself changed paths when entering from the port. But it also confirmed that there were many people in Nanhu City who wanted to kill him.

Let's not talk about the small-scale firefight that took place at the attack site. We will only say that after Chen Jun secretly entered the city with six people, he drove to the courtyard behind the Chen department's combat headquarters in low-key clothing. And with the assassination incident happening, Chen Jun didn't believe anyone now, so he only called his father personally.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the adjutant who had been with Chen Zhongren for more than ten years personally took everyone in and secretly arranged them in the munitions warehouse in the backyard.

…

In the dim room, Chen Jun sat anxiously on the sofa and waited for a long time before he heard chaotic footsteps coming from outside. He looked back and saw Chen Zhongren leading the guards and coming towards him.

"You guys just wait here." After Chen Zhongren ordered, he walked into the hall alone, glanced at Chen Jun with his hands behind his back, and sat opposite him.

The father and son looked at each other for a long time, then Chen Zhongren said with a smile: "Are you coming back to see me having fun?"

When Chen Jun heard this, he felt bitter in his heart and said with a trembling voice: "Dad, don't say that. From my standpoint... I am in more pain than you."

"Why are you suffering? If you shout to rebel against Chen Zhongren, 60,000 to 70,000 people will be willing to work with you." Chen Zhongren lit a cigarette and squinted at his son: "You, the commander-in-chief, have been so successful. I should ask you for help." Study.”

From a personal emotional point of view, Chen Zhongren's heart was bleeding when he said this. No matter how high the position or power, a person would definitely feel uncomfortable when facing his son on the opposite side.

"Dad, I am also thinking about the Chen family."

"You still remember that your surname is Chen, haha." Chen Zhongren replied with a smile.

"You and I are father and son. When we talk, we don't need to say some weird words." Chen Jun said with a trembling voice: "If my surname was not Chen today and I was not your son, do you think I would risk being beaten to death by an RPG? Do you want to come to town to see you?"

Chen Zhongren was silent when he heard this.

"Dad, we can't win." Chen Jun said urgently: "...If we continue to fight with the Zhou family, our Chen family...may be gone."

"Come back, we have hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanhu, plus the troops from Zhou Dynasty. We only stick to the defense of two places. It will be a big problem for the coalition forces to win in the southern battlefield, right?" Chen Zhongren said calmly. : "The war in Beifengkou has not ended, and the Eighth District, Sichuan Mansion, and Nine Districts have also been severely consumed by the war. If the Chen and Zhou factions can always join forces, it will not be difficult to find a military balance..."

"Dad!" Chen Jun stood up excitedly and interrupted before he finished listening to his father's words: "Don't have any illusions anymore. We have no way to win on the southern battlefield. You have been beaten by those guys from the Military and Political Department. You've gone astray, they are coercing you into doing something that may completely destroy the Chen system!"

Chen Zhongren was stunned by the shout.

"As soon as Jiujiang City is captured, the coalition forces in Chuanfu, Jiangzhou, and other inland areas of the three regions no longer need to deploy troops. They only need to gather large groups and garrison Jiujiang to form their troops. Surround us." Chen Jun said in an excited voice: "Maybe now because of the war at Beifengkou, the Chen and Zhou families can finally get a chance to breathe temporarily, but what about in the future? Will this balance you mentioned last? Nanhu and Luhuai are both port cities. To put it bluntly, they are just small areas. You do not have vast inland resources. After a long period of confrontation with the coalition forces, your economy is blocked, arms production is slow, and the people are war-weary. It is difficult to replenish your troops. Weak...how can you hold on for a long time?!"

Chen Zhongren smoked a cigarette and did not reply.

"There is a more critical point, and that is the issue of alliance. We and the Zhou Clan are mortal enemies and have been fighting for more than ten or twenty years! Can't you really see the problems reported in the Jiujiang battlefield? Both sides There is mutual distrust, and each has its own suspicions and calculations. Even now, Zhou Xingli may be thinking, how can I kill you and integrate the Chen faction? You are still thinking of relying on them to jointly defend the coalition forces. Isn’t that a fool’s errand?" Chen Jun The words were extremely sharp: "Compared with the coalition forces, if Qin Yu just said a word, Wu Tianyin would fight to the death at Beifengkou. He would rather destroy all his troops than give in. If it was the Zhou family, could he do one ten thousandth of Wu Tianyin's performance? ?Can?!"

Chen Zhongren was speechless.

"Qin Yu's alliance was built over many years, but our alliance is just temporary." Chen Jun looked at his father and revealed his true feelings: "You said I am a traitor. , I am really sad. I don’t know if there is any friendship in the world that is more important than the love between father and son, and family love... Do I want to get to this point? I just don’t want to see the ending of the Feng family happen to us... ...I don’t want to see the country left by our ancestors completely ruined in this era. From the day the Tongmenghui and the Chen Clan wanted to be independent, I knew that this would not happen. And the Chen Clan didn’t just want to break up. Quan, it’s just that the vassal is not reduced... Some people want to pretend that you are the orthodoxy, am I right?"

Chen Jun's words were sonorous and powerful, and every word was on point. Chen Zhongren held the burnt cigarette between his fingers and said nothing.

"Dad, there is still a chance now...!" Chen Jun said with his fists clenched.

"What chance? Do you want me to be a war criminal and be tried by Qin Yu, or do you want me to be an apartment owner?"

"...If you can't win, you have to admit defeat." Chen Jun sat down slowly, rubbed his cheeks with both hands for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Go down to the field, this way, Chen Xi can't fail."

When Chen Zhongren heard this, he smiled and asked: "Son, I just want to ask one question, do you think you can't win, or have you already wanted to rebel?"

Chen Jun was stunned.

"...After you came back from the EU area, you became different. You were angry with the upper echelons of the Chen family, and you were angry with me..."

"Dad, to be honest, I am really angry with the upper echelons of the Chen family." Chen Jun replied truthfully: "The reason why I supported Qin Yu was because I didn't have much say in many matters. I just came back from the European Union. , not recognized...and have no resources, so I want to support my own military and political power...but I have never had any other thoughts about you. You asked me to be the commander-in-chief and handed over the power to me...I understand your intentions."

"well."

When Chen Zhongren heard this, the sadness in his heart disappeared, and he could only sigh tiredly.
