An Zecheng opened fire in public on Changlin Street, not only killing the commander of the 77th Regiment, but also shooting and killing two captains and injuring Zhou Xian.
The soldiers of the 55th Army relied on their numbers to injure and drive away many soldiers of the 77th Regiment.
He was angry and the man was killed, but An Zecheng did not take advantage of the situation. He just left in a military vehicle and let the commander of the guard regiment handle the finishing work.
The entire conflict lasted less than five minutes and ended with Anze Cheng achieving his goal and voluntarily stopping.
He came to Changlin Street today to deal with not a small character, but Zhou Xian, who was sent by the regional council! So after dealing with him, An Zecheng's personal position was clear, and there was no need to deal with those small officers and soldiers, which was useless.
…
Seven forty in the evening.
Several cars stopped in front of the garrison headquarters. An Zecheng got out of the car with a gun in his hand, looking aggressive.
"Hello, Commander An!"
The commander of the guard regiment of the garrison headquarters came out to greet them personally, and did not stop An Zecheng when he saw him holding a gun. He even let his accompanying adjutant and guards into the compound.
An Zecheng did not reply, but followed the other side's guard commander into the headquarters and came to the meeting room where Tan Hengqiang was.
As soon as he entered the door, Tan Hengqiang, Chief of Staff Zhang, and other officers of the headquarters all stood up to greet him and applauded.
"It's so satisfying, Lao An! You are the toughest general in our garrison system, and you should do this to them!" Chief of Staff Zhang took the lead in speaking.
"Yeah! When did it become the turn of outsiders to point fingers at the garrison system? Damn, it's me, I would do the same, and I'm right." A general of the same rank as An Zecheng said with his hands behind his back, "They fired first, injured people, and in the end found nothing. If we take this case to the Governor's Office, we are still right."
An Zecheng ignored everyone's compliments and just greeted everyone. He put his gun on the long table, turned his head and asked Tan Hengqiang: "If a friend does this, are they really friends, Commander Tan?!"
Tan Hengqiang looked at him and nodded slowly: "Old An, just rest at the garrison headquarters and don't worry about the rest."
"Okay." An Zecheng responded positively.
Tan Hengqiang turned his head and said, "Lao Zhang, go and deal with the things outside. I want to talk to Lao An alone."
"Hey!" Chief of Staff Zhang replied.
After chatting for a while, Tan Hengqiang brought An Zecheng to the small meeting room inside.
The two sat down, and Tan Hengqiang's tone was obviously different from before. His words were no longer filled with slightly false courtesy, but he said seriously and earnestly: "Old An, if you and I join forces, there will be no second voice in the Longcheng garrison system. Even the Governor's Office can't change the situation here."
An Zecheng picked up the teacup, and his face no longer had the kind expression it used to have. Instead, he asked directly, "Commander Tan, one voice is fine, and I can follow you, but the question is where to go and how to go? I, An Zecheng, did not come to Longcheng alone. The generals of the military department have placed their lives and property on my head. If I make a wrong step, my whole family will be executed. I am a half-empty army commander, and I only have one chance to express my position. If someone rebels against me and reports me this time, and the upper level issues a transfer order to let me go back to District 1, then everything will be over. The people who support Zhou Xian behind the scenes will definitely not let me live to see the New Year!"
"Where are the people above you?" Tan Hengqiang asked very bluntly.
An Zecheng looked at him and said, "If the people above me were determined to protect me, would I still come to this shabby place?! There must be feelings, but they are not enough to change the outcome."
Tan Hengqiang held up four fingers and said, "On the surface, I will find a way to get you to expand to four regiments, at least to increase the number of troops by 6,000. Under the table, you can use as much energy as you can. Even if you create two armies, I will pretend that I didn't see it. With more people under your command, your power will naturally be stable."
An Zecheng looked at Tan Hengqiang and instantly realized that he could not accept or agree to this.
This was Tan Hengqiang’s last test. He was testing how big Lao An’s appetite was!
An Zecheng waved his hand and replied, "With Commander Tan above me, what's the point of me expanding the staff?! What's more, after the Changlin Street incident, the upper echelons will definitely keep a close eye on me, so it's useless for me to do this."
"Then what do you want?" asked Tan Hengqiang.
An Zecheng looked at him; "I told you, I am a commander who has been sidelined! You said that Longcheng has only one voice, but I can't do that, because the people below may not listen to me."
"Then kill them all." Tan Hengqiang intervened and replied: "After this incident is over, the officers under you will be transferred one by one."
"Is it enough to just say it?" An Zecheng asked.
"It's just about money." Tan Hengqiang said calmly, "The core generals of the military are only at the level of colonels. Damn it, we have people above us. If we spend five million to transfer one of them and get rid of seven or eight military chiefs, can't you hold on to power?!"
Upon hearing this, An Zecheng immediately replied, "Yes."
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
The two of them ended their conversation here.
After Anze City came to Longcheng, he only made two moves.
First, let Yu Mingyuan and Lao Li split up. This move dispelled some concerns in Tan Hengqiang's mind, but it did not dispel his suspicion that An Zecheng and Lao Li were secretly joining forces. He also had many guesses about An Zecheng's position.
Second, in the investigation team's case of the garrison, An Zecheng had always been outside the overall situation and actively avoided disaster. But the stray bullet still came, and Tan Hengqiang personally interviewed Lao An and asked him to secretly send the family members of the officers involved away from the defense zone of the 55th Army.
This move was to force An Zecheng to join the game and force him to express his stance. Tan Hengqiang wanted to see him. He said that he and An Zecheng were good brothers every day, but at the critical moment, which side did he stand on
But what Tan Hengqiang didn't expect was that Lao An not only expressed his position, but also directly killed the commander of the 77th Regiment and injured Zhou Xian!
This reaction was far beyond Tan Hengqiang's expectations, and his suspicion of Lao An was reduced to the lowest level. Because once the gun went off, Lao An's position became clear. He would definitely be labeled as a member of the Tan faction, and he would completely offend the old faction in the Chinese Legion. If things went wrong, his entire family would be executed!
Therefore, Tan Hengqiang decided to win over the 55th Army to strengthen his own influence in Huwolong City.
At the same time, when he first arrived in Longcheng, he was faced with being sidelined, used by the upper class, and suspected and guarded against by Tan Hengqiang. Anze Cheng was in an extremely difficult situation, but he took only two moves to completely revitalize his own living space.
…
Tianhong Port.
Su Tianyu held the phone, frowned and asked: "Are you sure the leader of the 77th Regiment is dead, right? Okay, okay, you keep watching."
After the call was hung up, Lu Feng next to him said, "You are such a fierce father-in-law, your moves are like thunder!"
Su Tianyu did not give a direct answer. He just looked at Yao Doudou and the others and said, "Wait, we are waiting now!"
