Inside the garrison headquarters.
Chief of Staff Zhang sat on a chair in the side room, smoking calmly: "What Xin Chaojie?"
"Chief of Staff Zhang, I'm not disrespecting you. Now that things have come to this, do you think the higher-ups will let go?" The head of the 78th Regiment said to the General Staff of the Headquarters, "You don't want to hand over An Zecheng, and you don't want to hand over Xin Chaojie either. Do you think you're treating the regional council as a mere decoration?!"
Chief of Staff Zhang smoked a cigarette and slowly stood up.
"If you don't hand them over, then we can only take action and search for the headquarters!" The commander of the 78th Regiment said again: "When our two divisions enter the city, you have to think carefully about what the situation in Longcheng will be like."
Chief of Staff Zhang stared at him with a gloomy look, stepped forward, looked at him with his hands behind his back and replied: "I have been a soldier for half my life, and I have never had a young regiment commander tell me about the bullshit situation. You are the first one."
The head of the 78th Regiment gritted his teeth and said, "I am also following orders from above!"
"I don't care whether you follow orders or not, I'm putting my words here." Chief of Staff Zhang pointed at the other person's cheek and said, "If you dare to let your soldiers step into my headquarters, I guarantee that within two hours, I will wipe out your two regiments. If you don't believe me, just try it!"
After saying this, Chief of Staff Zhang turned and left.
The head of the 78th Regiment looked at the other man's back with veins popping out on his forehead: "Do you really want to start a war?"
"You are worthy." Chief of Staff Zhang walked out without looking back.
After Chief of Staff Zhang left, a staff officer in the room stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the head of the 78th Regiment and said, "Think about it here. There are orders from the higher-ups, but they are not the ones who are really risking their lives! What do you think?"
…
A few minutes later, in the headquarters' small conference room.
Chief of Staff Zhang sat on a chair and frowned as he said, "Now the other side wants a general. We have avoided Lao An's matter and only want Xin Chaojie. What do you think we should do?"
A major general division commander stood up and said, "What can we do? I don't believe they dare to start a fire in the headquarters? If they dare to step in, I will just shoot these bastards."
"It's no problem to shoot, but the problem is what should we do if the two divisions outside come in and continue to ask you for people?" Chief of Staff Zhang asked: "Xin Xiaoming is in the hands of the investigation team. They have a legal and reasonable request to take over Xin Chaojie, so there is no problem. We can't shoot these two divisions too, right?"
"Yes, what General Staff Officer Zhang said makes sense." Another deputy commander interjected, "The current situation is very clear. The 78th Regiment has surrounded the headquarters and is waiting for the support of two divisions. Once these two troops arrive, we will either surrender or go to war!"
"It's impossible to start a war." Chief of Staff Zhang immediately responded: "Who would be so stupid as to join the rebels? Isn't that a mental problem?"
An Zecheng listened to what the other party said and suddenly said, "Or we can just send him away! Send him away and hide him. Then we can say that Xin Chaojie escaped when the 78th Regiment surrounded the headquarters and was rescued. Even if we just put on a show, it's fine!"
"That's a good idea!" The division commander next to him immediately agreed: "Get rid of the person. What else can they do? As long as they don't hold him down, everything will be fine."
Chief of Staff Zhang glanced at An Zecheng and said, "No, I don't recommend doing this. There is a Tongji Society outside, and there is also Lao Li! People from the Ming Dynasty also had an accident outside your army's defense zone. The situation is very complicated now. If Xin Chaojie is really kidnapped outside, it will be a big deal."
"That's right." An Zecheng glanced at Chief of Staff Zhang and immediately agreed: "You have considered it very carefully."
At this point, everyone fell silent.
Tan Hengqiang looked at Lao Zhang and asked, "What do you think?"
"I think Old Xin is useless. As long as our people catch up with the family members of the officers involved in the incident in the Third Division, we will be able to control Chief of Staff Wu and Xin Xiaodong." Old Zhang's eyes were murderous: "Since he is blocked in the headquarters, why not get rid of him?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lao Zhang with different expressions.
"After destroying the body, we will say that Xin Chaojie ran away. What can the higher-ups do to us?" Old Zhang asked everyone.
Tan Hengqiang was silent for three seconds, then immediately stood up and replied, "Let's do it. Execute Xin Chaojie secretly and don't give the other side any chance!"
"I'll do it." Chief of Staff Zhang stood up to arrange the follow-up matters.
…
Behind the headquarters.
Su Tianyu held the phone and whispered to Jin Maohui, "Have you arrived yet?"
"I'm already in position." Jin Maohui immediately replied: "When the gun goes off, I'll move towards you."
"Okay!"
Su Tianyu hung up the phone and immediately told Yao Doudou and the others, "Let's do this. We will disguise ourselves as members of the 78th Regiment and approach the back door of the headquarters. After the gunshot..."
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
Su Tianyu frowned and glanced at the caller ID, then reached out and pressed the answer button: "Hello?! What's the matter, big brother?"
"Hurry up, Lao Xin is going to be executed." Su Tiannan's voice sounded: "It was Tan Hengqiang who gave the order himself."
Less than five minutes after Tan Hengqiang issued the order, Su Tiannan called. This shows that the Chinese Workers' internal supporter in the garrison headquarters should be of a high level, at least someone who can access core information.
"Executed?!"
"Yes, the 78th Regiment is surrounding the headquarters to delay time and wait for the two divisions to support them." Su Tiannan replied: "Tan Hengqiang has no way to deal with Lao Xin now, so he can only kill him."
"Okay, I got it. Ask your insider to find out the exact location for me. Quick!"
Su Tianyu hung up the phone and cursed, "Damn it, I can't steal anymore."
…
In a basement of the headquarters, four men were standing outside the detention room, carrying gasoline barrels.
A captain turned his head and looked at the three men and ordered, "Strangle him to death, then use gasoline in the house to burn his body and throw it into the sewer. Remember, no evidence can be left behind. This is what the higher-ups said."
"good!"
The three men nodded and looked at Xin Chaojie in the detention room with vicious eyes.
Inside the room, Xin Chaojie closed his eyes, as if he had sensed that his end was near. He sat on an iron chair, feeling extremely regretful...
He didn't regret that he got into trouble because of embezzling the money from the Red Group, but he regretted that when he was in power, he didn't prepare for war, develop secretly, connect with other troops, and strengthen his own strength...
He hated the investigation team, but he hated Tan Hengqiang even more!
I made so much money for him secretly, and he seemed obedient on the surface, but this old bitch sold me out at the critical moment!
…
Behind the garrison headquarters.
Su Tianyu and Yao Doudou led a team of twenty war criminals, formed two rows of troops, and marched in orderly steps towards the rear of the headquarters.
"Lower your head, lower your head, and don't let the other party recognize you." Su Tianyu warned.
Everyone kept silent and quickened their pace.
Ten seconds later, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. The soldier guarding the rear of the headquarters immediately raised his gun and shouted, "What are you doing? Stop!"
"Bang!"
Yao Doudou fired a shot, shooting the soldier in the head on the spot.
Su Tianyu shouted loudly: "Brothers of the 78th Regiment, avenge the commander! Take over Xin Chaojie under orders!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, fierce gunfire rang out from the back door of the headquarters.
