District 9

In the evening, around ten o'clock.

In the headquarters of Zhou's Second Army, Duan Zhenghong was sitting on a chair, holding a phone and asking in a low voice: "Has Sichuan's 186th Brigade left?"

"It has passed through our army's defense area and is pursuing towards the brigade entrance." The officer on the phone immediately replied.

"That's good. Your peripheral troops should keep a close eye on the troops passing along the way." Duan Zhenghong replied.

"clear!"

Duan Zhenghong hung up the phone, stood up immediately and shouted: "Gather the main generals for a meeting in the small conference room."

"yes!"

The adjutant replied immediately.

Half an hour later, Duan Zhenghong took the chief of general staff of the Second Army and his staff and strode towards the small conference room.

"I contacted them, and they told us to stay put in Fengbei and South." The chief of general staff followed behind and said in a low voice: "Once the Shensha faction is completely overthrown, we and the Lu faction will go to the south and the other to the north. Take the lead in capturing Fengbei."

Duan Zhenghong nodded without saying a word.

"Commander, your family has left Xinxiang and is safe on the way back." Another staff member whispered: "Do you think there are any other arrangements?"

"Did anyone in Xinxiang notice?" Duan Zhenghong turned around and asked.

"No." The staff member shook his head: "I have told your wife before that she should not live in the compound of the officer corps, so they left quietly and no one should know about it."

Duan Zhenghong nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.

"Haha, this is so exciting." The military staff officer named Chen Zhenyou also bared his teeth and said in agreement: "As soon as we change the flag, there will only be more than 40,000 troops left in the Zhou Dynasty. Waiting for them to be stupid After chasing the Shensha Corps, Fengbei has been captured by us and the Lu family... By then, they don't even have a place to stand, and they help others finish the battle in a daze, and in the end they didn't get any results. , I can only go to Sichuan Mansion to lick Qin Yu’s feet.”

Duan Zhenghong frowned and glanced at Chen Zhenyou, and said in a scolding tone: "Old Chen, you talk a bit too much."

Chen Zhenyou smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and replied: "Aren't these all our own people! I'm happy for you too, haha..."

Duan Zhenghong withdrew his gaze and stepped into the tent of the small conference room.

…

In the small conference room, more than twenty officers were already sitting in their seats.

The door opened and Duan Zhenghong and others walked in.

"Hello, Commander!"

Everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

"Sit, everyone, sit down!" Duan Zhenghong waved his hand.

Everyone sat down after hearing the sound and looked at Duan Zhenghong with serious expressions on their faces.

"We are all our own people, and I won't go around in circles anymore." Duan Zhenghong stepped in and sat at the top of the list, looking at everyone with sharp eyes and said: "I have agreed to the He system's win-win cooperation conditions and am ready to leave the Zhou system."

In the room, after listening to Duan Zhenghong's words, no one among the officers spoke first, and there was not much surprise on their faces.

"There are several core reasons for doing this." Duan Zhenghong said in a calm voice: "First, I am not optimistic about the prospects of the Sichuan Clan and the Zhou Clan in the Ninth District. I don't think they can win because of the He Clan's Bian leaked a lot of trump cards to me. Second, if the Zhou Clan is defeated, the result will be obvious. We, these troops, will all enter the Sichuan Mansion to accept Qin Yu's reorganization, which I am very resistant to, and I believe , you will also resist this matter. Most of our officers and soldiers are natives of District 9. If we go to Sichuan, we will have to leave our hometowns and even be temporarily separated from our families. Many personal properties will also be taken away. I can't go there, so I don't think it's very interesting. Thirdly, Zheng Kai has now made it clear that he wants to be the father-in-law of Sichuan. His daughter and Lao Mao are about to get their marriage certificate. Therefore, even if we are willing to leave our hometown, what will happen if we go to Sichuan? If you live in a government, life will not be easy. Suffering ostracism and slowly being stripped of your rights are bound to happen."

The officers listened and made eye contact with each other.

"So, I now officially announce that we will completely break away from the Zhou Clan and cooperate with the He, Feng, and Lu Clan." Duan Zhenghong stood up and said loudly: "You are all officers who have followed me for many years. I hereby promise you that as long as If you follow me for a day, I will fight for the greatest rights and interests for you. As long as I, Duan Zhenghong, have a bite to eat, no one will be hungry. After conquering the country, brothers will sit together; I will become the commander, and you guys in this room will , and at least be promoted to two ranks!"

When the generals heard the sound, they immediately stood up and shouted in unison: "Follow Commander Duan to the death!!"

"For those who want to leave, I will never stop them." Duan Zhenghong held the table with both hands and raised his eyebrows and said: "I am different from Lao Zhou. I don't have as strong a desire to control as him. We can get along with each other. , if you are willing to join me, Lao Duan, then I will naturally be happy, but if you have other ambitions in your heart, I will definitely support it. For those who want to leave, I, Lao Duan, will give you money and food, so that we can get together and have a good time."

"Follow Commander Duan to the death!!"

The people inside the house were still shouting in unison, but ironically, soldiers from two companies had been lying in wait beside the tent outside the house for a long time.

Duan Zhenghong was satisfied with everyone's reaction, waved his hand and shouted: "Okay, since everyone is willing to follow me, let's do it together."

"Dip Lingling!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rapid ringing of the phone rang.

After answering the call, staff officer Chen Zhenyou immediately walked to Duan Zhenghong and said, "It's the call from that old guy."

Duan Zhenghong looked back at him, walked to the landline phone, reached out and picked up the phone.

"Duan Zhenghong, what the hell are you doing?!" Commander Zhou's furious voice sounded: "Why haven't your troops left Fengbeinan yet? Do I have to go over and invite you before you are willing to move?!"

Duan Zhenghong immediately replied with a smile: "Commander, don't be angry. There is a large amount of military equipment in the defense zone left by Shensha. Don't I want to replenish my troops first?"

"What the heck! Do you know that your soldiers have been disgraced and thrown into the Sichuan Mansion? Qin Yu called me and said that your troops were blocking the perimeter and would not let their brigade pass." Commander Zhou's voice was excited. Roared: "Are you really that lacking in armaments? Ah?!"

"Commander, I don't want these useless things either, but in the past six months, how many times has our headquarters replenished the armaments of our Second Army? You can't let soldiers go to war with fire sticks, right?" Duan Zhenghong said in a cold voice. He stopped and said, "Commander, you have to understand the difficulties of our brothers!"

"Duan Zhenghong, what do you mean?!"

"I'm not interested. It's just that I've been holding back some words for a long time and I didn't have a chance to say them." Duan Zhenghong said softly: "Without armaments, there is no way to fight. I think Fengbeinan is fine. Our Second Army is here Just stay here."

"Duan Zhenghong, do you want to rebel?" Commander Zhou asked.

"Commander Zhou, it's meaningless for you to say this. Haven't you never listened to the words of the military commander in the World War II area? Then do you count yourself as a rebel?" Duan Zhenghong asked with a smile.

Commander Zhou was speechless.

"I still have something to do, so I'm going to do some work." Duan Zhenghong hung up the phone and scolded with a gloomy face: "Damn it, it's already this time, and you're still trying to make excuses with me."

…

Xinxiang Living Village.

Meng Xi took the phone and dialed Da Ya's number: "Hello? Get ready, your troops will receive combat missions at any time."

"Okay." Daya replied.
