District 9

After Qin Yu, Coco and others discussed the general idea, Jiang Xue immediately returned to District 8, and Ma Laoer also started to move.

…

after one day.

In the important town of Menghan, the Pu clique's regiment headquarters held a regular meeting, chaired by Pu Xiazi. All senior officers sat together and began to report their work in order.

This kind of meeting is very boring. Basically, one person talks. After the speech, the blind man expresses his attitude, signs, or gives verbal instructions. There is no discussion at all. The senior officers who have nothing to do are all drowsy.

After six or seven middle-aged people in a row finished talking about their affairs, Pu Xingbang stood up and spoke in order: "Report to the Commander, I have received an electronic letter from the Songjiang Station of the Ninth District Military Supervision Bureau. The letter contains It indicated that the Sichuan Autonomous Federation and the First Independent Division were shocked by the massacre in Nha Hui Living Village, expressed condolences and condolences to the victims, and were willing to donate 1 million to the families of the victims. .”

As soon as the words fell, the senior generals who were originally drowsy all became energetic and looked at Pu Xiazi in shock or confusion.

Pu Xiazi paused and asked, knowingly: "Why do the military intelligence officers from the Ninth District Military Supervision Bureau and Songjiang Station express condolences on behalf of the Sichuan government?"

"It's like this. The chief of Songjiang Station is called Ma Laoer," Pu Xingbang immediately replied: "He is an out-and-out member of the Qin family. In addition, the Sichuan government itself does not have a military intelligence organization, so it is normal for him to pass the message on his behalf. of."

Pu Xiazi thought about it for a long time and replied calmly: "Call me back to thank you and decline the donation."

"Yes!" Pu Xingbang sat down immediately after receiving the reply.

Although the conversation between father and son was extremely brief, with only two or three sentences, this matter attracted the attention of all senior generals in the headquarters. Everyone became inexplicably energetic and began to make eye contact under the table, and some even whispered to each other.

Pu Xiazi continued to listen to other people's reports as if nothing had happened. But the subsequent speeches could no longer attract the attention of the generals. They were all focused on the Sichuan Autonomous Association expressing condolences and even asking for donations.

After the meeting.

The generals of the Pu Department began to walk out in groups, and they all started talking in low voices.

"What does Xingbang mean when he mentioned this at the meeting? Are you going to thaw the relationship with the Sichuan government?"

"It's hard to say."

"Xingbang can speak at the meeting, it must be the command of the commander."

"It shouldn't be right? I think there is no room for relaxation between us and the Sichuan government. Moreover, the other party's contact at this time is obviously a plan to sow discord and ruin the relationship between us and the fifth district." A middle-aged man said with a serious face. Said: "Commander, we can't be confused about this matter. Our first iron alliance is the fifth district. We must set our position clearly."

"I agree. Let's wait for a while and meet the commander alone later to persuade him."

"good!"

All the senior generals have their own attitudes. Some officers who are more radical and dare to give advice are ready to find Pu Xiazi alone to persuade him. But what they didn't expect was that Pu Xiazi left after the meeting. The adjutant directly told the waiting people: "The commander has important matters to deal with today, so you don't have to wait any longer."

After this, the senior generals who were close to the fifth district became a little confused.

…

Two more days passed.

The Pu faction's army headquarters held an emergency meeting, but this time the person presiding over it was no longer Pu Xiazi, but his chief of general staff.

At the meeting, the chief of general staff looked at everyone expressionlessly and took the lead in naming him: "Xingbang, you go ahead."

"Commander Ma of the Songjiang Station of the Ninth District Military Supervision Bureau personally called us and claimed that the war in the northwest has ended. In order to take into account the safety of the people on the border and the tense military situation on the border, the Sichuan Autonomous Association and the First Independent Division , are willing to mediate between our army and the Eighth District Gu Faction, and release a group of major prisoners of war each to ease the tension between the two armies." Pu Xingbang finished reading the text on the document, looked up at the Chief of General Staff and said: "We are currently No reply yet.”

After the words fell, there was an uproar in the conference room, and all the generals started discussing in private.

Before the Chief of General Staff could speak, a brigade commander stood up and said: "The Sichuan Faction, as well as the Eighth District Gu Faction, have continuously shown favor to us, which is obviously an attempt to sow discord between our headquarters and the Fifth District. I request the headquarters to refuse to communicate with the other party in order to ensure the political stance of our Ura Corps."

Pu Xingbang immediately said after hearing this: "I have a different opinion. The replacement of prisoners of war is an event that benefits both sides. Our army has nearly 1,500 prisoners on the northwest front. These soldiers have been detained in the military prison in District 8 for a long time. , far away from home and relatives, I feel that we have an obligation to rescue them."

As soon as these words came out, the brigade commander could not refute for a moment, because what Pu Xingbang said completely occupied the moral high ground. If you don't agree, you have to give up your own soldiers and the soldiers of the Pu faction. If this fucking big hat is taken off, who can eat and live?

With a brigade commander taking the lead, the others naturally understood a lot of things, so they didn't say anything anymore.

The chief of general staff paused for a long time and immediately said: "Pu Xingbang listens to the order! Call Station Commander Ma back. Our headquarters agrees to replace the prisoners of war. I will leave the specific matters to you."

"Yes!" Pu Xingbang saluted immediately.

"Combat units of all military, brigade, and regiments will take out all the Gu prisoners of war who have been imprisoned, put them into new clothes, give them a bath, eat good food, and wait for replacement." the chief of general staff ordered.

"Hooraa!"

The generals stood up and saluted in response.

…

after an hour.

In Yi City, District 5, Jiang Taimin held the phone and said excitedly: "Why don't you persuade the commander-in-chief?!"

"There is no chance to persuade. The commander has disappeared for three days and no one has been seen. However, Brigadier Pu and the Chief of General Staff sang along in private and have already settled the matter." Pu Sheng sighed and replied: "Replacing prisoners of war, this is It will be supported by many grassroots officers, some senior generals, and even the public. Who among us dares to stop this kind of thing? If we stop it, we will disregard the lives of 1,500 soldiers. I told you before However, the commander is very dissatisfied with the matter in Yahui Living Village. Why didn’t your fifth district express its position earlier and deal with it earlier? You had to wait until the Sichuan government intervened before you knew how to worry?”

Jiang Taimin was speechless.

"It is a certainty that the relationship will be thawed and negotiations will begin." Pu Sheng frowned and said, "If you still want to maintain a long-term alliance with the Pu faction, you must protect the market now."

"I'll fly to Menghan right away, right away!" Jiang Taimin replied immediately.

…

Chongdu.

Qin Yu took the phone and said to Jiang Xue succinctly: "Pu Xiazi accepted the move. You are in the eighth district to deal with the replacement of prisoners of war. Get it done quickly. Let's strike while the iron is hot."

"I just got a special release order from the headquarters. I will raise troops in each prisoner camp directly according to the order. It will be completed tonight." Jiang Xue said with his teeth: "Commander Qin, I have been in the Eighth District for so long and I haven't seen him yet. A special release order approved by the commander himself. If you want to have face, then you have face."

"Hey, what's the point of me? I'm just a little guy running errands for the commander." Qin Yu replied in a low-key tone.

"Pull him down, I'll tell you a secret."

"What secret?" Qin Yu asked.

Jiang Xue paused and replied in a low voice: "Now there are rumors outside that you are the illegitimate son of Commander Gu who lived abroad when he was young..."

"I'm going to fuck you!" Qin Yu cursed in a broken voice.

"Look, it's not me who said it, why are you swearing?!"

"Don't spread rumors!" Qin Yu replied speechlessly, hung up the phone, turned around and shouted: "Xiao Sang, call Ke Ke, Lin Chengdong and Lao Jin, hurry up, hurry up, things are getting started."

…

Nanhu.

Shen Fei waited anxiously for three days. He originally wanted to go to the crossroads to burn paper for Jian Fei, but he didn't expect that when the results came out, Jian Fei was only demoted three levels in a row, but he was not jailed. Continue to be responsible for docking matters with the ninth district. Among the deputies who followed him, two were sent to military prisons to await punishment, and more than a dozen were dismissed from their posts...
