In troubled times, the life and death of a brigade commander depends on the thought of the man holding the knife.
Zhao Weihu chopped off Tang Zhengde's head with a knife, venting his anger and avenging his brothers in the Chi Army, but it also meant that his relationship with the Second War Zone of the Renmin Allied Forces reached a freezing point.
In fact, what Hazar said is absolutely right. Once the cannon sounds, the so-called right and wrong, truth and justice are no longer important. No one will care about the original cause of the incident. Everyone only looks at the results and will only remember hatred.
Tang Zhengde's headquarters was destroyed, and his troops must have retreated quickly. Without a commander, what was there to fight? Moreover, the First Army, which was transferred from the Xiluo area by the commander-in-chief of the Renmin Army, had already been stationed next to the town of Hualei, responsible for protecting the Chi Army from the threat of the Second War Zone.
After the short battle, Zhao Weihu ordered all the Chi Army troops to withdraw to the town of Hualei, and set up several well-armed defense zones centered on the town entrance to prevent any accidents from happening again.
After everything was settled, Chang Fei actually hung Tang Zhengde's head on a plaque at the entrance of Hualei Town to show the power of the Chi army and to commemorate those brothers who died in battle because of betrayal.
Inside the Chi Army Headquarters.
Hazard looked at Zhao Weihu angrily and shouted: "Did I lie to you? Is the Xiluo First Army coming? We are all doing our best to protect you and the Chi Army, but what did you do? Why did you want to kill Tang Zhengde? My God! Do you want to be besieged by the entire Second War Zone, or do you want to provoke a civil war?"
Zhao Weihu looked at him calmly, and after a long silence, he said, "I don't want to preach to you, and I don't want to confide in you how I feel right now because so many of my soldiers died unjustly! I'll just tell you, I did it, and you guys can handle it as you wish."
Hazael looked at him incredulously: "... I... there is really no way for us to communicate!"
Zhao Weihu slammed the table and stood up, staring at him and shouting, "I just want to ask you one question, do you want investment from the Chinese district? Are you still going to do the arms business?!"
Hazar was silent.
"They fired the first shot! Even if I don't kill Tang Zhengde today, it won't change the fact that they want to kill me," Zhao Weihu roared back, "nor will it affect the fact that they secretly hope that the old commander will die sooner! It will happen sooner or later. The knife is on my neck, why bother with political tricks?!"
Hazar looked at Zhao Weihu, who was looking at him with a frown on his face: "OK, OK, let's all calm down and stop arguing."
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Just then, the phone rang.
"I'll take a call first." Hazar walked aside, stood at the door with his phone and chatted for a few words, then turned to Zhao Weihu and said, "The old commander asked you to go to the headquarters for an interview."
When Zhao Weihu heard this, he frowned and remained silent.
"Right now, right now," Hazard repeated. "Do you dare to go?"
Zhao Weihu raised his eyebrows and replied confidently, "Of course I don't dare to go. Do you even need to ask?"
"...!" Hazar was confused.
"It's not that I don't trust the old commander, it's that I don't trust the people around him." Zhao Weihu said bluntly: "There are too many people who want to kill me now, I can't take the risk."
“… You are such a cunning fellow!”
"If I only knew how to swing a sword, I would have died countless times." Zhao Weihu replied simply, "Tell the old commander to send someone over. We can talk in the town if there is anything."
After the two finished chatting, Hualei Living Town was completely put into a state of martial law.
The First Western Roman Army was stationed on the west side, with a total strength of more than 10,000 troops, and the two newly transferred brigades from the Second War Zone also had more than 10,000 troops, and they were stationed on the east side of the town.
The three forces were secretly competing with each other. The Chi Army began to retreat, and Zhao Weihu was also waiting for news from the old commander of the Renmin Army.
…
In Longcheng, in a large courtyard under the Coders Association, Kang Dinghuang was standing under a pavilion smoking a cigarette, waiting for the final news.
Kang Dinghuang, male, 35 years old, holds a PhD in both military intelligence and international relations. He comes from a military and political family. After graduating from university, he joined the Seventh Bureau of District One. He had made outstanding performances in the military intelligence battlefield of District Five, and thus made his way through the grassroots and began to hold important positions in the General Administration.
In the year when Kang Dinghuang first entered the Seventh Bureau, he once made a speech in the internal meeting room regarding the evolution of the situation in the Laomo region. He first proposed that if the First District did not take containment measures, the Renmin Army would end the civil war in Laomo within ten years, thereby completing the establishment of the regime and the establishment of the Special Zone.
You have to know that at that time, the government troops in the Lao Mo area were still in a state of fragmentation. To put it bluntly, warlords in various places all claimed that they were orthodox, and no real leader was born within the country. Each region was still in a state of independent governance. The situation was very similar to the early Three Kingdoms period, when Yuan Shao made the alliance.
Therefore, Kang Dinghuang was criticized for his remarks. Grassroots cadres called him a moron, and leaders at the top criticized him and even punished him for it, because at that time most people believed that the Laomo region was too chaotic and might still be in a state of war in another hundred years.
Since it was a state of war, it must be in the interests of the greater region of District 1. The neighbors were restless and there was constant fighting all year round, which facilitated the promotion of "neighborhood relations", so the policy of District 1 at that time was to sympathize with the Mexicans on the surface, to provide humanitarian care and practical assistance, but in the heart they kept shouting "come on, fight to the death".
Therefore, Kang Dinghuang's public remarks immediately destroyed this "neighborhood relationship", so the upper level gave him certain punishments.
However, less than ten years later, the development trend of the Lao Mo area was roughly the same as Kang Dinghuang's speculation.
Over the past period of time, the various actions of the Regulatory Commission have caused dissatisfaction among the people of Longcheng, and the complex changes in the Laomo area have also made the upper echelons of District 1 feel anxious.
So, a new department was born.
District One, Regional Security Bureau Seven, Special Intelligence Department.
The first minister was Kang Dinghuang, and his main responsibility was to secretly deal with issues in the Lao Mo region.
After the establishment of this special intelligence department, Kang Dinghuang designed blue-green Zhongshan suits as the work uniforms, so this department was jokingly called the Qingyi Club or the Qingyi Bureau by outsiders.
In the future, this Qingyi Society will cause many incidents and bloody storms in Longcheng, and even in the entire Lao Mo, District 1, and the Old Triangle area.
…
Tsing Yi Bureau, inside the Longcheng Office.
After Kang Dinghuang waited for a while, a young man walked over and said, "I have confirmed again and again that Tang Zhengde is indeed dead."
Kang Dinghuang took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "That's good too. We have achieved our goal."
