Outside the Anxi frontier command headquarters, a row of military vehicles was parked.
“Bang!”
Zhang Xunchen pushed open the car door, rushed out of the car, and hurriedly ran towards the command post with several guards.
The An soldiers nearby saw that it was the Chief of the General Staff and saluted.
Zhang Xunchen's feet were flying. Just as he was hurrying on his way, a tent in the distance was suddenly opened, and several soldiers were walking out carrying two corpses.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xunchen was stunned for a moment. Something popped into his mind and his expression became more and more anxious. He changed from walking fast to jogging and rushed towards the command post.
"preparation!"
Just when he was halfway through the run, a loud shout came from the side of the camp, attracting Zhang Xunchen's attention. He turned his head and saw six or seven Jiang's officers kneeling in a large pit full of dust on the right side of the camp.
These officers were pale, their faces full of despair and fear. Some of them even took deep breaths, their bodies shaking as if they had been electrocuted.
A row of An's soldiers stood behind them, holding their automatic rifles and aiming at the back of their heads. An Zecheng's most capable division commander stood there, responsible for executing these people.
"Stop! Stop everyone!" Zhang Xunchen ran over hurriedly, shouting at the top of his voice.
The commander looked back at him, but still firmly waved his raised right hand: "Break!"
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Fierce gunfire broke the silence of the night. Blood mist burst out from the officers' heads and they fell into a big pit.
These officers refused to cooperate with the An faction to report Jiang Yuanzhen.
From a military perspective, they were strong-willed. From a human perspective, there were certain reasons why they did not betray Jiang Yuanzhen.
They are all Lao Jiang's direct subordinates. Whether in terms of economy or in this military operation, they are actual participants, or even planners.
If things succeed, they will take off. If things fail, they will naturally be shattered.
Therefore, these officers knew that no matter what they did, they would not survive.
Seeing the bodies scattered all over the ground, Zhang Xunchen's eyes almost popped out, and he pointed at the division commander and shouted, "I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"
The division commander had a blank expression on his face. He raised his hand and saluted Zhang Xunchen: "Hello, Chief of the General Staff! I have your orders."
When Zhang Xunchen heard this, he was speechless.
"Anzecheng, fuck you! I'll kill your whole family!!"
Jiang Yuanzhen's scolding suddenly came from the tent. Zhang Xunchen thought for a moment, turned back to the tent, lifted the curtain and walked in.
As soon as he entered the tent, a bloody smell hit him. Zhang Xunchen frowned and saw Jiang Yuanzhen being pressed on the table.
Although he looked a little embarrassed, at least he was still alive, which made him feel relieved.
Before he could speak, Jiang Yuanzhen glared at Zhang Xunchen and said through gritted teeth, "I fought hard for you for more than 20 years and promoted Tan Hengqiang to deputy commander-in-chief! This is how you treat me?"
Zhang Xunchen stood there, his face pale, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Take him out." An Zecheng waved his hand, and two guards held Jiang Yuanzhen and dragged him out of the tent.
As he left, Jiang Yuanzhen's eyes were still fixed on Zhang Xunchen.
In his heart, although he hated Su Tianyu and Anzecheng, his hatred for the headquarters was even deeper! He had made great contributions to the headquarters and supported Tan Hengqiang all the way to today!
But at the critical moment, Tan Hengqiang showed no attitude and even secretly agreed to let Lao An deal with him! He really didn't accept it!
Zhang Xunchen withdrew his gaze and looked at Lao An.
An Zecheng sat aside, looking calm. There were also a dozen or so core officers of the Jiang faction kneeling on the ground, writing down the materials for the accusation.
Zhang Xunchen was angry but didn't show it.
An Zecheng waved his hand and said, "Take them somewhere else and write them down."
"yes!"
The guards lifted up the men and dragged them out of the tent.
The other officers also heard the hidden meaning and left together. Soon, An Zecheng and Zhang Xunchen were the only ones left in the huge tent.
"Old Zhang, sit down." An Zecheng pointed to the chair in front of him.
"Old An!" Zhang Xunchen was in no mood to sit still. He took two steps forward and stood in front of the other person. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and scolded him softly: "What are you doing? I told you in advance not to touch these people and to hand them over to the headquarters for processing. Why didn't you listen?"
An Zecheng picked up a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Xunchen: "Don't worry, sit down! Sit down and we'll talk later."
At this point, it was useless to get angry. Zhang Xunchen thought for a moment, took the cigarette, and slowly sat down.
An Zecheng said calmly, "Lao Zhang, I know you have to come today, and you have to say these words. But I have to do this."
Zhang Xunchen lit a cigarette, frowned slightly, and said nothing.
An Zecheng also took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "Just like Jiang Yuanzhen said, these officers have been rooted in the garrison for more than ten or twelve years. They have countless nepotism and meritorious service. Even if they are sent back to the headquarters, what can you do with them? By then, the traces of the Jiang family's direct lineage will be so heavy. How will you take over the First Army?"
Zhang Xunchen said in a deep voice: "That's true, but..."
An Zecheng waved his hand and interrupted him: "Lao Zhang, you should trust me. I know my limits! I won't let Commander Tan think that I am overstepping my authority or messing around."
As he spoke, An Zecheng stood up, walked to the table next to him, picked up a document, and handed it to Zhang Xunchen: "With these letters of accusation and these evidences, the headquarters has reason to arrest Jiang Yuanzhen. The old men from other factions, whether they are thinking of old friendship or nepotism, can't say anything. Those who are unwilling to write materials and report are stubborn and stubborn. Shooting them is purely for peace of mind. Otherwise, at the critical moment, if someone from inside and outside cooperates to cause a mutiny for you, it will be very uncomfortable."
An Zecheng sat down again and patted Zhang Xunchen's leg gently: "I have finished dealing with this bad guy. I have cleared all the people out. I will now hand them all back to Commander Tan."
Zhang Xunchen was speechless for a long time: "Now that you say so, what else can I say?"
The two looked at each other in silence.
…
At the same time, Longcheng garrison headquarters.
Tan Hengqiang sat in the conference room, waiting for the result with a calm expression. After Tan Mingchao finished his work, he returned here to wait with his father.
Apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the meeting room and it was very quiet.
"Ding Ling Ling."
The phone rang, and Tan Mingchao answered it and chatted for a few words: "Yes, yes... I understand... Okay, I'll talk to him..."
After a while, Tan Mingchao put down his phone, turned around and said to his father, "Dad, Uncle An has finished everything. All the relationships with the First Army have also been dealt with. Those officers and the reporting materials will be brought back by Uncle Zhang in a while."
Hearing this, Tan Hengqiang remained calm and nodded slightly.
