The next morning.
The Longcheng Police Department, the District One Supervision Committee, and the Longcheng Municipal Government jointly held a press conference on the assassination of Lao Guo. The meeting was chaired by Secretary-General Lu, who held the microphone and said righteously: "The mastermind behind this case is the extremist organization Chijun. According to our investigation, the attacker Xiao Yucheng once had a long working experience in Chijun... At present, the Longcheng Police Department has mastered all the details of the case and launched a capture plan by the navy and the army last night, successfully arresting more than 20 gangsters and 98 Chijun armed personnel... In the future, we will stand on the side of the people and continue to impose sanctions on the Mofei regime and strike hard against extremist organizations while ensuring the stability and security of Longcheng."
…
Casaro, Murphy's Military and Political Department, in the temporary office compound.
Zhao Weihu sat in front of a black senior officer in the Military Affairs Department and said with a frown, "I just want to ask one question, can you get the person back for me?!"
"Zhao, I understand how you feel, but I'm sorry..."
"Don't say sorry, it's useless!" Zhao Weihu asked again, "I am your man now, and the entire Chi Army is with you. Just tell me directly that so many people under you have been wiped out. Can the Military Affairs Department come forward to negotiate and get those people back for me?!"
The black man was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and replied, "We can't negotiate at the moment. You just saw that Longcheng has already held a press conference. The matter is a foregone conclusion, and they won't back down. Especially after the issuance of Order No. 1, our relationship with them has become very cold. Even if we want to talk now, there is no communication channel."
Zhao Weihu remained expressionless for about two seconds, then stood up and replied, "In other words, you can't make decisions for Chijun?"
"We can retaliate against their border." The black officer spread his hands and said, "Zhao, you have to understand that our relationship with District 1 is only one step away from a war."
"Okay, since you can't make the decision, I'll do it myself." Zhao Weihu said and turned to leave.
The black man stood up upon hearing the voice, and immediately stopped him and said, "Zhao, I hope you can understand that you are now government troops, and you must obey orders...!"
"I can be one today, and not be one tomorrow." Zhao Wei left without even looking back.
…
On the way back to the Chi Army Base, Zhao Weihu was in deep thought all the way and basically had no communication with his subordinates.
In addition to the captured soldiers and the stolen goods, the investor Lao Huang and others were also implicated, and this person was very important to the Chi Army. If Zhao Weihu did not rescue him, he would most likely be taken back to District 1 and sentenced to death as a military war criminal and a member of an extremist organization, which Zhao Weihu could not accept.
After returning to the base, Zhao Weihu didn't see anyone. He locked himself in the office and smoked one cigarette after another.
He knew very well that negotiation might be of no use, because Longcheng had already completely put the blame on him, and it was useless to seek help from the garrison he had made friends with before, as the other side would not help him on matters of principle.
The Murphy regime is unreliable and negotiations are ineffective. What should I do
As Zhao Weihu smoked a cigarette, a shocking plan slowly emerged in his mind.
Inspiration came in an instant, Zhao Weihu put out his cigarette, and immediately picked up paper and pen to prepare materials.
…
In the evening, around eight o'clock.
Zhao Weihu walked out of the office with four documents and convened three key officers and generals of the Chi Army for a small meeting.
"Zheng Qiang, you go to the Mofei army tomorrow. They are also going to hold a press conference to counter the Longcheng crossing the line to arrest people and the other party's rhetoric." Zhao Weihu handed the information to the other party and whispered, "Spread the word that I will also go there tomorrow and hold a three-day meeting there."
"Okay!" Chief of Staff Zheng Qiang nodded.
"Old Zhan, I'll give you a week. You should contact more labor vendors who have had dealings with us before, and then do this..." Zhao Weihu handed the second set of information to another cadre in charge of logistics.
"Yes, Commander!"
After the two finished their conversation, Zhao Weihu looked at his guard battalion commander again and said, "According to my two plans, gather the people and gather at the planned location tomorrow night."
"Yes!" The guard battalion commander nodded.
Chief of Staff Zheng Qiang knew Zhao Weihu very well. He looked at him with some concern and asked, "What if we can't hold on? What if Mo Fei gives up on us in the end? Have you thought about this, Commander?"
"I did this for two reasons! First, Lao Huang and my people must come back. Second, I admit what I did. If it's not my fault, no one can force me to admit it! District One is competing with Lao Mo, but they're using me as a punching bag. Why?!"
After hearing this, the Chief of Staff could only give advice according to his thinking: "Before the action, our troops must evacuate and stay away from the attack range of Dragon City."
"You go and do it." Zhao Weihu nodded.
…
One day later, in the evening.
In the mountain warehouse behind the Chi Army base, the lights were dim, and a densely packed crowd of people, whose numbers could not be determined, were lined up and fighting in a straddle position.
Zhao Weihu stood in the front of the crowd, looked at everyone and said, "Not fighting back after being beaten is not my style, nor should it be the style of the Chi Army! The ninety-eight soldiers and the people from the capital are all our brothers. One less death means one less, so we should not give up on them."
"Stand at attention!" the guard battalion commander shouted loudly.
In the empty warehouse, the sound of footsteps standing at attention was heard.
Zhao Weihu waved his hand and shouted, "Come here, give me some money."
Four men carried bags of money into the house and placed them in front of the soldiers.
"As usual, we go into battle to kill the enemy in order to survive and to support our families! Money is absolutely indispensable, at least I have it." Zhao Weihu looked up at everyone and said in a resounding voice, "Everyone take the money, rest for a night, and break it down tomorrow morning."
"yes!!!"
The Chi army members did not shirk their responsibilities. Instead, they stood at attention and shouted in high spirits in response.
"The code name of this plan is Tiger of Sinaloa!" Zhao Weihu also stood at attention, saluted everyone and shouted, "I will be the first commander."
When the Chi Army heard this, they were all stunned, even the guard battalion commander looked confused.
"Execute the order!" Zhao Weihu shouted again.
No one objected, no one dissuaded, all the soldiers saluted in unison: "The Tiger of Sinaloa will stain Dragon City with blood!!"
"Disband!" Zhao Weihu waved his hand and turned to leave.
That night, Chief of Staff Zheng Qiang had a heated argument with Zhao Weihu, but ultimately he failed to dissuade the commander and could only carry out the next task as planned.
…
Two days later.
When Su Tianyu was talking to Dabai on the phone, Yu Mingyuan came over and said to him, "Pack up, we and You Yifan will go find someone from the Supervisory Committee."
"Okay." Su Tianyu nodded, and suddenly touched his chest and said, "Am I having premature beats? Damn, I feel particularly anxious today...!"
