District 9

Yemen.

In the Zhou Corps headquarters, when Li Bokang was watching a new round of defense reports from the forward positions, a staff officer walked over and reported in a low voice: "General Staff, there is a transfer order from Westbrook Command, let us deploy out One division, supplementing the direction of Hongdan Airport, will cooperate with the Feng Department to defend the enemy from the attack of the 1st Army in the Shandong District and the 122nd Army in the Sichuan District."

Li Bokang raised his head when he heard the sound, frowned and asked, "Has Feng Xi also communicated with us?"

"Not yet." The staff officer shook his head: "Feng Ji has left. His chief of staff is currently in charge of the command. It is estimated that they will contact us immediately after the order is issued."

Li Bokang was stunned when he heard this: "Feng Ji is gone? Where has he gone? Has he been transferred back to the frontal battlefield?"

"No, he went back to Xia Island."

"Ah???" Li Bokang looked at the staff member in confusion and asked, "He went back to Xia Island to fuck chicken feathers?!"

"It is said that he was slightly injured on the front battlefield, and our field hospital in the inner harbor is full, and the camp is very crowded, so he took the wounded soldiers who were withdrawn and prepared to return to Xia Island to rest." The staff officer replied with a sneer. : "To put it bluntly, Feng Ji found an excuse to escape because he was beaten too hard by the Sichuan army on the side battlefield, so he wanted to hold on and hired a chief of general staff to support him. What's wrong with this? He also has room for maneuver! Haha, Feng Ji and Westbrook... also have hidden agendas."

When Li Bokang heard this, he stood up suddenly: "Damn it, is he mentally ill? What is he doing back to Xia Island?!"

The staff officer didn't understand why Li Bokang was so excited. He thought the other party was angry because Feng Ji escaped, so he advised him: "General Staff, don't be angry. Gonghe Chen is in a worrying situation now. Let me put it bluntly." ...Whether it is the Zhou Clan or the Feng Clan, they are all thug troops on the frontal battlefield. At this time, everyone has some small calculations in their minds. That is normal. After all, no one wants to fight until they run out of ammunition and food on the Yemen battlefield. He maintained Sibuluk is out of troops, and the Military and Administrative Department of District 1 can provide them with reinforcements, but our troops are exhausted, so who can provide them with reinforcements?"

Li Bokang waved his hand: "That's not what I'm talking about."

"What is that?" the staff officer asked with some confusion.

"I'm afraid something will happen to Feng Ji when he returns to Xia Island!" Li Bokang anxiously walked around the room: "You don't know what the upper management's attitude is towards him?"

The staff officer was startled for a moment and immediately guessed what Li Bokang meant, so he replied with a smile: "You are worrying too much. Feng Ji brought eight or nine thousand people back this time. Although many of them were wounded soldiers, after all, The number of people is there. And some of the people from the Marine Corps in Europe 1 will definitely follow, and there is currently no one on Xia Island... Even if the upper management has ideas, they will not do it now because they have no capital. ah."

Li Bokang looked at him: "You know nothing, when I leave..."

The staff officer looked at Li Bokang in astonishment, not understanding what he meant. Li Bokang stopped speaking halfway and did not continue.

"I think you are worrying too much. The current situation of the Republic of China is not very good. They are all pointing to the Yemen battlefield to make a comeback. Even if the upper management no longer looks down on Feng Ji, I guess they will not take any action at this time..." The staff officer added A word of advice.

"You don't understand. If things are going well for the Republic of China now, then maybe the higher-ups won't have any ideas. At worst, they can wait until the war is over before doing what needs to be done. But now that the balance of power is even against the wind, the upper-level officials may consider re-aligning with the Civil Affairs Bureau. The problem. And Feng Ji doesn't have many people in his hands anymore. To deal with him at this time..." When Li Bokang said this, he felt even more uneasy. He directly changed the subject and gave the order: "Call the headquarters immediately. I want to talk to him. Commander Zhou is on the phone."

…

Summer Island.

Zhou Xingli sat in the conference room with his hands intertwined and looked at Yan Hu and other confidants expressionlessly.

"Commander-in-Chief, General Staff Li's phone number." A communications officer said in Zhou Xingli's ear.

Zhou Xingli looked back at him and said, "Tell him I'm in a meeting and will get back to him later."

"Yes!" the communications officer nodded.

After Yan Hu thought about it for a long time, he looked at Zhou Xingli and said in a low voice: "Commander-in-Chief, I don't think you need to worry about it. Everyone knows that I had conflicts with them during the battle at Hongdan Airport."

"Yeah." Zhou Xingli nodded slowly and didn't say anything more. He just watched everyone communicating and discussing with Yan Hu.

…

On the transport ship in Europe 1.

Feng Ji was sitting in the single lounge, smoking a cigarette with his head down.

"Commander, I think the battle in Yemen is not going to be easy to reverse." The staff officer, wearing a military uniform, said to Feng Ji in a low voice: "As far as I know, many people in the upper echelons of the Republican Party have suggested a truce, and the chief executive of the first district is also very interested. I hesitated...but finally listened to Westbrook's words and chose to continue fighting here. But have you ever thought about it? If Yemen is defeated...what will the subsequent political landscape be like?"

Feng Ji took a puff of cigarette: "Westbrook, get out of class may be over."

"The class will definitely be dismissed." The staff officer said without hesitation: "If the battle is defeated, the first commander will definitely take the blame, and he is our biggest backer at present. If he is gone, who will be the fist within the Chinese armed forces? Who’s to say? We have been fighting continuously during this period, and have injured more than 20,000 soldiers, directly reducing the number of more than 10,000 people. The current available combat strength... is less than 20,000 people, and what about the Zhou Dynasty? The number is almost ours Twice. They don’t have a voice at this stage, and that’s because Westbrook is in charge... you know what I mean?”

Feng Ji thought about it for a long time: "Do you think He Xi can be relied on?"

"I don't think it's reliable. He Chong is a guy who adapts to the changing circumstances. He joined us because he is against the Zhou Clan. But if one day he can no longer fight...then his position will be hard to say," the staff officer replied bluntly.

Feng Ji took a puff of cigarette: "I understand what you mean, don't be anxious, let's go back first."

"As long as you know what's going on," the staff officer said.

In fact, Feng Ji was also very depressed. His regiment was a consumable that could not be replenished. After leaving the three major regions, Zhou Fenghe was like a lonely ghost who had lost his roots. The death of one person in the army meant that there was no way to replenish it. , and this is why they are afraid of fighting a big war.

The day the Corps is depleted, the Feng Department will have no use value.

Feng Ji was sitting on the bed, smoking a cigarette uneasily, and suddenly the scene of Drakken's corpses on the ground appeared in his mind.

…

Somewhere unknown.

Jiang Xiaolong's plane landed at a dilapidated airport. He quickly walked to the car with the people around him, preparing to meet CSS's friends.

In the hiding place of CSS senior management, Reed frowned and said to Coco: "Republican still wants to gain an advantage in the Yemen battlefield. I am preparing for the second round of attacks."
