At 9:20, Jiang’s military command post.
Jiang Yuanzhen put down the phone, his brain working rapidly. In his impression, An Zecheng was a very low-key and slick person.
This old An has always been unwilling to express his views in any public occasion and is very cautious in doing things. He is just a pure and useless politician and civil servant. He has no ability to command military campaigns and has no courage.
Therefore, An Zecheng's sudden action made Jiang Yuanzhen somewhat surprised, but the situation was still under his control.
He did not think that the army of Anze City could play an absolutely reversal role. At most, it could only disrupt the rhythm of the war.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Yuanzhen picked up the phone again and dialed a number.
…
At the same time, Anxi’s military.
An Zecheng stood in front of the large map with his hands behind his back, continuing to analyze the situation on the battlefield.
At this moment, the chief of staff came over and whispered in his ear: "Commander, Jiang Yuanzhen is calling."
"Got it." An Zecheng thought for a moment, walked to the table, and picked up the microphone: "Hello?"
"Lao An, what do you mean?" Jiang Yuanzhen's questioning voice came from the phone: "We are all in the same garrison system, are you trying to stab me at this time?"
An Zecheng paused for a moment and said in a steady voice: "Lao Jiang, calm down. You can't fight now. I sent troops for the safety of Longcheng. We can sit down and talk now. I have already discussed with Su Tianyu and Lao Li. We can resolve the issue of your son peacefully."
Jiang Yuanzhen said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense to me! I gave them a chance, but they refused! I just want to ask you one question, are you in cahoots with them?"
An Zecheng pondered for a while, and responded calmly: "Old Jiang, not everyone can change the situation and the times just because they have a general star on their shoulders. I think you should calm down. District 1 may not be reliable."
Jiang Yuanzhen cursed directly: "My son's legs are broken! I have nothing to talk to you about! If you insist on reaching out, we will meet on the battlefield! But I tell you, Anze City, after today, Longcheng will no longer have the number of your army, and District 1 will not tolerate you! That's it!"
"If your confidence matched your ability, then your son wouldn't be lost."
"Fuck you!" Jiang Yuanzhen cursed and hung up the phone angrily.
An Zecheng put down the microphone expressionlessly and waved to the chief of staff next to him: "Follow me."
The two walked into a small meeting room next door, closed the door, and began to discuss in secret.
…
Jiang’s military command room.
Jiang Yuanzhen calmed down his anger and couldn't help cursing, "Fuck the guy next door. He even dared to take advantage of such a weakling like him. He really thinks he is... what kind of a joke is that? Zhonghu, huh? I'll break off his fangs!"
Jiang Yuan, who was standing nearby, heard their conversation, thought for a long time, and couldn't help but stepped forward to remind him: "Dad, could it be like this? Commander Tan didn't move on the surface, so he asked An Zecheng to come here to cause trouble. The ultimate goal is still to prevent these two divisions from coming in... You also know that once these two divisions come in, they will not leave, which affects Commander Tan's interests."
Jiang Yuanzhen was a little nervous when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down and turned to his son and said, "Don't panic, this is an inevitable trend, and Old Tan can't stop it! This is a critical moment! As long as we let these two divisions in, we will definitely win!"
Jiang Yuan nodded, but there was still some doubt on his face.
Jiang Yuanzhen patted his shoulder and said, "Hold on steady. I'll call Lao Yang first."
As he spoke, Jiang Yuanzhen picked up the microphone and called the headquarters of the Seventh Division.
The call was quickly connected, and Yang Biao asked hurriedly, "Lao Jiang, what's going on? Did you find out?"
Jiang Yuanzhen said in a low voice: "I failed to reach an agreement with An Zecheng. He is determined to get involved. I understand that he did this for Su Tianyu. He may have already colluded with Huatonghui. However, you don't have to panic. Let the Seventh Division and other allied forces continue to snipe them from the periphery. Just give me three hours, and I can destroy Su Tianyu's First Army in Haiyankeng! Once the large army comes in, we will win!"
Yang Biao shouted at the top of his voice: "I can fight with you, but the other brothers don't want to do that! You have to come over and explain things clearly. Anze City's joining has made everyone panic! Until now, no one knows how you talked with the people in District 1! It's very chaotic here, and the other garrison units supporting you are also unsure! How about this, we will go find you and talk!"
Jiang Yuanzhen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then bring them all here."
The two ended the call. Jiang Yuan, who was standing beside them, was still a little worried and asked, "Dad, what does Uncle Yang mean?"
Jiang Yuanzhen waved his hand: "They are unsure and want to see what District 1 has given them. They want to see if it is worth doing! You lead the troops to continue to charge forward. I want to meet them first."
"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded. Jiang Yuanzhen tidied his clothes and left the base with the guards, heading for the defense zone base along the Long River.
…
More than an hour later, a seemingly endless line of military vehicles stopped at the defense zone where Jiang’s troops were stationed along the Long River.
At this time, the main force had left, leaving only two guard regiments to defend and protect the logistics command post here.
The battlefield was too scattered, with warlord forces everywhere. Although Jiang Yuanzhen had the strength of an army, the three lines were pulled apart, and there was a large buffer distance between the troops.
Soon, Yang Biao came out of the car with a group of people, including him, a brigade commander and several regiment commanders.
These people each represented a number of forces in the garrison, and they all secretly reached some agreements with Lao Jiang. Moreover, these people's hearts have always been inclined towards District 1.
Without this advantage, Jiang Yuanzhen would not dare to jump.
…
Led by Yang Biao, the group quickly entered the command post. Most of the guards they brought with them stayed outside, totaling nearly 200 people.
When they walked into the meeting room, Jiang Yuanzhen had not arrived yet. Everyone sat on their chairs and couldn't help but argue.
A brigade commander pulled Yang Biao and asked worriedly, "Captain Yang, this Lao An suddenly interrupted me. I don't understand!"
"Yeah, there's no accurate information from the headquarters. Should we fight or not?"
"What did Commander Jiang say to District 1? Please let us know first..."
Yang Biao couldn't help but waved his hands and said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing! Let's wait for Lao Jiang to come over first!"
While everyone was talking, the door of the conference room was pushed open and Jiang Yuanzhen walked in. Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at him.
Jiang Yuanzhen glanced at the people present, clasped his fists and said to them: "Thank you all for supporting me in this matter. Without your help, it would definitely not be possible!"
Yang Biao looked at him and said, "We have been friends for so many years, there is no need to be polite. Let's talk about this now. What should we do about this matter? Anze City has intervened. What does District 1 mean? If a fight really breaks out, these two divisions will not be enough! Let me be frank. If Anze City's actions were instructed by the commander, we will become rebels!"
…
While these people were arguing, outside the command post, a group of soldiers from an unknown guard regiment gathered quietly together.
At the same time, on the outer highway, a long line of military vehicles was speeding. They were stopped at three checkpoints along the way, but were eventually allowed to pass.
The top military commanders of these three checkpoints are currently meeting with Jiang Yuanzhen...
