Bourne: Command and Conquer

 Chapter 1105, approval for takeoff

The phone was hung up.

There was no more sound.

Zhang Yong held the microphone.

? ? ?

Did you hear it wrong?

Is it Madam's voice?

Hallucination?

Forget it, it doesn’t matter.

What he just said was not wrong.

In fact, this matter was resolved peacefully in this way.

It is a historical necessity.

It has nothing to do with Zhang Yong.

Put down the mic.

Sit back behind the desk.

Put your legs on the table, close your eyes and relax.

Make money...

Make money...

Make money...

Where to do it? Who?

"Ring ring ring..."

"Ring ring ring..."

The phone rang again. Zhang Yong turned a deaf ear.

Sure enough, the sky fell. It is indeed equivalent to the emperor in ancient times encountering unexpected events.

He's just a little guy with so many phone calls. One can imagine how busy those big guys will be these days. How many brain cells will die.

I hope Jinling’s power supply system can hold on. But be sure not to have a power outage at this time.

Staying up all night is the norm. The curfew is also expected to be tightened.

everything everything,

They are all unknowns.

Only he, Zhang Yong, knew the result clearly.

finally…

Reaching for the phone.

Let's see who is coming to hook up with him again.

It turned out that the call was from Cen Zhaohai.

"Commissioner."

"What's up?"

"The nearby 167th Division has behaved abnormally..."

"What unusual behavior??"

"There seems to be a bit of a commotion."

"riot?"

Zhang Yong sneered.

The person named He strongly advocated using force to save people. It seems that Tang Enbo and others were also sent to lead the army to threaten Tongguan, which caused the situation to be very tense for a time.

At that time, Lao Jiang's life was really hanging by a thread.

Xiao Liuzi was young and energetic, and he felt that he had been tricked by Chiang Kai-shek into giving up the three eastern provinces. He was filled with resentment, which pushed him to the edge, and Chiang Kai-shek was really gone.

However, Lao Jiang could not die. Especially at this time. I really can't die.

Indeed, many people hated Chiang Kai-shek. I wish I could skin him.

However, the objective reality is that after Chiang Kai-shek dies, China will only become more chaotic. The various princes will fall apart even more.

In name, Chiang Kai-shek is indeed a leader recognized by many parties.

Just like the nature of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty.

Without this co-leader, it would be difficult for the princes from all walks of life to unite to resist Japan.

If Chiang Kai-shek dies, who will take the lead?

There is simply no replacement.

There may even be a split within the party. Then came the civil war. Then the Japanese invaders will annex China more easily.

Therefore, knowledgeable people tried their best to mediate, hoping to resolve the matter peacefully.

"What's the specific situation?"

"Part of it is to fight for pay. Part of it is to break away from the 167th Division."

"Why do you want to break away from the 167th Division?"

"There are rumors that the 167th Division will be disbanded and everyone will be sent home. They don't want to go home."

"How many people are there?"

"About a thousand."

"I understand. I'll deal with it. You wait for me over there."

"yes."

Zhang Yong hung up the phone.

Stand. Thoughtful. Then he shouted outside:

"Someone's coming."

"arrive."

"Instruct the fourth air police regiment to assemble immediately."

"yes."

Soon, the fourth air police regiment was assembled.

They haven't been out for a long time. Every day is training, training, training...

Frankly speaking, it is indeed quite boring. Want to go out and be active.

After receiving the order, Yang Buqing and Song Youming arrived quickly.

"Commissioner."

"Follow me to the 167th Division."

"yes."

The two agreed.

Zhang Yong came to the army. Simple check.

not bad. All Garand semi-automatic rifles. The firepower is still very fierce.

A dilapidated 167th Division should not be a problem.

"Set off."

"Set off."

The team marched in mightily.

The station of the 167th Division is very close to the Daqiaochang Airport.

Otherwise, Cen Zhaohai would not know what happened here immediately. Then report it quickly.

Because if something happens to the 167th Division, it will threaten the safety of the airport.

Zhang Yong drove quickly in front.

Suddenly I found a red dot on the edge of the map.

Huh? Are there red dots here too?

Something's wrong...

This is the wilderness!

A spy actually infiltrated into the wild?

I haven't gone out on a raid for more than a month. How can I become a spy growing up so fast?

Okay, let's go out and sweep later.

They were all captured and imprisoned at the Dachiaochang Airport, where they were forced to do hard labor every day...

Suddenly slowed down.

But there are many white spots on the edge of the map. No label. There is no weaponry.

They seemed to be forming a queue. Pretty neat.

Confuse. Who?

Waved his hand. Indicate others to be alert.

parking. Raise the telescope.

I saw a lot of people. All topless. Just stood silently in the cold wind.

It's December now, and the weather in Jinling is already quite cold.

frown. what are they doing?

"Lu Keming."

"arrive."

"Go up and ask them what's going on. Be gentle."

"yes."

Lu Keming led people forward.

Returned shortly after.

"Commissioners, they are all soldiers of the 167th Division. They said that if they were to be demobilized, it would be better to kill them all here."

"Why don't they want to be dismissed?"

"Because they don't have families. They don't know how to do anything but fight."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

It turns out that this is the case. He believes this statement.

That was indeed the case at the time. Many people serve in the military for their entire lives. I have lost contact with my family. Or no family.

Apart from fighting, they really don't have any other skills. Without the army, survival is a problem.

Really send them away and they either end up living on the streets. Either the fallen grass turns into a bandit.

Many bandits include various fallen veterans.

Such bandits are often difficult to deal with.

A thousand people!

If they are demobilized, there may be more than a thousand bandits.

No need…

It just so happens that I need someone.

Especially those who have a grudge against Minister He. most suitable.

Now, at this critical moment, what he needs most is someone who can give the Ministry of Military Affairs a hard fight.

OK, very good.

Get off the bus immediately. Walk forward.

A strong man from the other side also came forward. Topless.

stand at attention.

salute.

"Sir!"

"May I have your name?"

"Zhongli Ding."

"What are you doing here?"

"We want to talk to Minister He. We demand fair treatment."

"Minister He will only shoot you."

"We are not convinced."

"Fortunately it's me who came. Otherwise, you would have been shot dead by machine guns."

"Who are you…"

"My name is Zhang Yong. I am the inspector of the Military and Political Commission. I don't listen to minister He. I only listen to the committee."

"Your Majesty Commissioner."

"Now, I give you a choice. If you are willing to continue to join the army, you can join our Fourth Air Police Regiment. The benefits are better than those of the 167th Division. However, I have also made it clear that these are troubled times. Minister He and I will not deal with it. He I won’t accept the minister’s order, maybe a conflict will break out…”

"Sir Commissioner, Minister He wants to dismiss us, but we will not deal with him."

"In that case. Come with me!"

"yes."

"No more military uniforms. Go back to the airport. Get new military uniforms. Get new weapons."

"yes."

Zhongli Ding agreed.

Zhang Yong waved his hand. He ordered them to pass in front of him.

He looked at each soldier.

Actually not very satisfied.

Not many are strong.

It all feels like poor nutrition.

There is no way, a mixed army, having enough food is a luxury. Do you still expect them to be physically strong?

Two meals a day. It's all porridge.

There are no dishes. You have to think of pickles and radishes yourself.

In them, you can clearly see the epitome of the Republic of China. Just so weak. So thin.

If it were the era of cold weapons, maybe a dozen of them would not be able to defeat one.

In fact, if it were a hand-to-hand battle, a dozen or so national troops in front of them would really not be a match for the Japanese aggressors.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders were very powerful in hand-to-hand combat.

Even 101 suffers a secret loss...

I feel like I can’t do Ping Xing Guan again for the second time. Otherwise, the troops will be wiped out...

"Zhongli Ding."

"arrive."

"Are there any heavy smokers here?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Reporting to the Commissioner, I'm sure."

"Okay. If so, I'm the only one asking you."

"Report to the Commissioner. We don't even have enough to eat. How can we afford to smoke?"

"That's right..."

Zhang Yong nodded.

I can't lose a lot of weight and my body is weak, but I can accept it.

If you have hooligan habits, you are a veteran, you are greedy for life and you are afraid of death, you can accept it.

Only smoking is unacceptable.

Because the first two problems can be improved. Only smoking is difficult to quit. The consequences are endless.

Take the team back to Daqiaochang Airport.

Dress up.

It feels okay.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.

After changing into a new military uniform, he looks quite presentable.

Have a meal.

All kinds of gobbling.

Someone ate eight large steamed buns in a row.

So hungry...

However, morale improved significantly.

Everyone realizes one thing, in the Fourth Air Police Regiment, you can definitely have a full meal.

Not only can I have a full meal, but I can even eat well.

Rice, steamed buns, open to eat.

Not one or two meals. It's Dundun. There is one for every meal.

Full. Start clearing out pay arrears.

There are plenty of fiat currencies.

The last thing Zhang Yong wants is legal currency.

It just so happened that the last time I purchased an oil well, foreign banks did not accept legal tender.

then…

hair!

hair!

hair!

Pay out of pocket to clear back wages.

Just wait until the matter is resolved peacefully and then report it to the police.

Commander Qian…

He is also being detained now!

It sounds like bad luck. He had only flown there for three days.

Then things happened. What a rush.

Reorganize the team.

It just enriches the structure of the original Fourth Air Police Regiment.

Zhongli Ding was temporarily appointed as deputy leader. Everyone else is filling the hole too.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is…

"From now on, your focus is to protect the two places."

"One is an oil depot."

"One is an ammunition depot."

"No one is allowed to extract ammunition or fuel from inside without my order."

"Is it clear?"

Zhang Yong said slowly.

If you want to use aircraft, fuel and ammunition are indispensable.

Especially oil. No oil. Don't even think about flying to the sky.

If you are capable, He Yingqin, go find the oil yourself. Anyway, Zhang Yong ordered the security department to watch the three airports of Jinling, Longhua and Jianqiao.

"clear!"

Zhongli Ding answered loudly.

The other soldiers' mental state is also very good.

Can eat enough.

Can get paid.

They are already satisfied.

Although there are no weapons for the time being. "good."

Zhang Yong is unsatisfactory.

With his ability, he can do this for the time being.

Want to do more? Excuse me. It was beyond his capabilities. He is a nobody. Not a big shot.

Suddenly I saw Minister Min coming in a hurry. His face was ugly.

Zhang Yong then came forward.

"Minister Min."

"Shaolong..."

"What's up?"

"The Ministry of Military Affairs called and ordered the Air Force to prepare for bombing Tongguan."

"Bombing Tongguan?"

"Yes. Bomb Tongguan. To demonstrate pressure."

"Minister He's order?"

"yes."

Minister Min looked ugly.

Obviously, he also knew that this order was very taboo.

The commission is still in the hands of the Northeastern Army. Then the National Air Force bombs Tongguan. Who knows whether it will cause the Northeastern Army to jump over the wall?

That commission would be dangerous.

However, this is an order. It's from the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The committee is currently unable to exercise its power. The Military and Political Committee is effectively empty. The Ministry of Military Affairs became the department with real power.

"Minister Min, you know the consequences of doing this."

"But…"

Minister Min smiled bitterly.

Of course he knew the consequences of doing so.

To carry out the order is to entrust the throne. Who knows what will happen in the future?

However, if the order is not carried out, the Military and Administrative Ministry is likely to send someone to replace him immediately. Right now, Commander Qian is also being detained, and the others are abroad...

The entire air force is leaderless!

"Come here!" Zhang Yong's face suddenly darkened.

Zhongli Ding hurriedly stepped forward, "Here we come!"

"Detain Minister Min!"

"yes!"

Zhongli Ding immediately led people to take action.

He didn't ask why. Just listen to the commissioner. Arrest whoever the commissioner says to arrest.

Minister Min:? ? ?

Zhang Yong winked at Minister Min.

"Go in and be quiet for a few days."

Minister Min understood immediately.

This is what Zhang Yong did to avoid making things difficult for him. Help him find the steps.

Now, he is detained by Zhang Yong. The power to command the air force naturally fell into Zhang Yong's hands.

No matter what the situation is in the future, he will have no responsibility.

Zhang Yong shouldered everything.

"I'm the inspector. He Yingqin can't control me."

"I only listen to orders."

"He Yingqin can only command other troops. He cannot move a single Air Force plane."

Zhang Yong said straightforwardly.

Minister Min nodded. Relieved. With gratitude.

"Thanks."

"The matter will be over when the commissioner comes back safely."

"I hope..."

"Don't worry. The committee will come back."

"well…"

"Cen Zhaohai."

"arrive."

"Take Minister Min away. Lock him up in the reading room."

"yes."

Cen Zhaohai agreed. Take Minister Min away.

Minister Min is relaxed and cheerful. The feet do not touch the ground.

Zhang Yong suddenly saw He Yuanzhen, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Go and arrest him too."

"Yes." Zhongli Ding immediately led people to rush forward.

It’s not about who you are.

Arrest whoever the commissioner says to arrest.

The commissioner only listens to the commission. We only listen to the Commissioner.

"you…"

He Yuanzhen still tried to struggle.

As a result, he was knocked unconscious by Zhongli Ding's fist.

Zhang Yong:…

All right. That's not bad either.

Since they all fell out. Why are you so polite? Immediately put him in a solitary room.

"Shangguan Qing."

"arrive!"

"Summon the heads of all departments here immediately. No absences are allowed. Violators will be subject to military law."

"yes."

Shangguan Qing and others rushed to deliver the order.

Soon, the heads of all departments arrived.

More or less, they have heard some rumors. They all understand that things are very taboo.

All eyes were focused on Zhang Yong.

"From now on, I will take over all affairs of the Air Resources Department." Zhang Yong got straight to the point.

No one had any objections.

On the contrary, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, what they need most is a backbone.

A backbone who can handle things.

"I order that from now on, any aircraft taking off must have my approval. Anyone who takes off without permission will be shot on the spot."

"I only accept orders from the commission. You only accept my orders. No one else will."

"Neither the Ministry of Military Affairs nor anyone else has the authority to command our air force. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yong had a straight face. Word by word.

Yes, he was targeting He Yingqin. He is the one to guard against.

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

"Just understand. I don't want any of you to die. You all pass all responsibilities to me! Disband."

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

Everyone dispersed in relief.

The backbone is there. They just need to follow the orders of their backbone.

Zhang Yong returned to the office.

Call Shanghai Longhua Airport. Find Zhang Ping.

Over there, the highest-ranking person is Zhang Ping. He is now based at Longhua Airport.

"Zhang Ping, it's me."

"Commissioner."

"Zhang Ping, as the inspector of the Military and Political Commission, I am ordering you that from now on, all aircraft must obtain my approval before they can take off."

"yes."

"Repeat that."

"Report Commissioner. From now on, all aircraft must be approved by you before they can take off."

"Okay. That's it. If there is any external pressure, you can pass it on to me. I will take full responsibility."

"Understood."

"Okay. That's it. Pass the order. If you disobey, military law will be dealt with."

"yes."

Zhang Ping was relieved.

He is also a little confused now and a little panicked.

No one knows what is going on over there. In case it is necessary to use Air Force aircraft, the consequences may be big or small...

Well now, Zhang Yong has come forward. Take all responsibility. They only need to carry out Zhang Yong's orders.

Zhang Yong called Jianqiao Airport again.

Of course the same command is repeated. The same answer over there will be strictly enforced.

Then…

Zhang Yong came to the empty raising department.

He rarely comes here. Because it is not usually needed.

Commander Qian and Minister Min are both here. Nothing happens without him. But now, something happened.

There are no tigers in the mountains. The monkey is called the king.

He is the king now. You must take care of your own piece of land.

He Yingqin is doing whatever you want outside, I can't control it. However, if you want to use the air force, it is absolutely impossible. Don't even think about it.

"Commissioner!"

"Commissioner!"

All officers stood up.

stand at attention.

salute.

Zhang Yong nodded. Raise your hand in return.

Nothing uncomfortable. From now on, he is the boss of the National Air Force.

Do your part.

Except for the commissioner and his wife, it would be difficult for anyone to come.

"Give electricity to all airports immediately."

"yes."

"Inform them that all aircraft must report to the Air Operations Department before taking off. They must obtain my approval before they can take off. Otherwise, they will be severely punished. The responsible person will be executed on the spot."

"yes."

Everyone looked solemn.

These are extraordinary times. Of course they knew the consequences.

Send a message.

Notify all airports.

At the same time, ask them to call back to express receipt.

Zhang Yong was in charge of the empty preparation department.

Temporarily borrowed Minister Min's office. This is also good for Minister Min.

The matter was resolved later, since Minister Min was coerced by him, so it would be fine.

"Report…"

"Permission to take off..."

"Report…"

"Permission to take off..."

Applications keep coming.

They are all civil aviation aircraft. Zhang Yong allowed takeoff.

Too sloppy…

Civil aviation is also included.

It seems that what I need to restrict are only military aircraft?

never mind. Let’s talk everything to death.

To avoid loopholes.

"Report!"

"Madam is here."

Suddenly someone came in a hurry.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

oh? lady?

View surveillance map. Not found.

Oh, maybe not into the airport yet. Want to greet him? unnecessary.

Just do your part.

"knew."

Zhang Yong replied calmly. Didn't get up.

The officer who came to report hesitated to speak. I feel very surprised.

Madam is here, and you won’t go to greet her?

Zhang Yong looked up at him.

"Madam is just passing by. Let's just do our job."

"yes."

"It will be the same in the future. There is no need to mobilize troops."

"yes."

"Let's arrange a plane. Whichever plane you usually use?"

"yes."

"Go!"

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

The officer turned and left.

View map.

Oh, there are a lot of white spots showing up.

Lots of cars. Lots of guns. Apparently the lady has arrived.

surprise.

Among the entourage, there is actually a yellow dot.

Awesome...

Calm down.

Close your eyes and rest your mind.

Madam, are you going to the northwest now?

Go to a meeting alone to save your husband?

Some courage!

"Report!"

"explain."

"Madam is going to Shanghai by plane."

"arrange."

"yes."

Send people away.

Zhang Yong continued to close his eyes and rest.

Not going to the northwest? What to do in Shanghai?

Are you trying to win over the second sister?

Too lazy to think too much.

These are all things that great figures in history thought about.

He, Zhang Yong, is not yet qualified to be included in history books. Just don't worry about it.

Wandering around the world...

Suddenly another officer arrived. His face turned a little red. Seems excited?

"Report!"

"explain."

"Commissioner, Madam's plane has requested to take off. Please approve it."

"Apply?"

Zhang Yong was stunned.

Does she still need to apply when she takes off?

Do you still want my approval?

sweat…

"Madam said, since it is you who issued the order, she will obey it..."

"this…"

Zhang Yong was stunned.

Then he reacted. Madam did this specially.

What she is most worried about now is that someone is using the air force to intimidate. That would really cost his husband his life.

Since he, Zhang Yong, has taken the lead in controlling the air force, she will of course help him.

Even if she obeys, who else dares to act recklessly?

very good. It's done.

Except for Zhang Yong, no one can touch the Air Force.

No wonder the officer who came to report turned red with excitement. It's eye-opening to be brave.

Even his wife must obey Zhang Yong's orders.

Nod immediately.

His tone was calm.

"Approved for takeoff. Good luck on the journey."
