Two months later...
Jinling,
Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
At this time, Xu Dingfang was walking in the garden of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion. Suddenly Xu Zhiyong ran over and said anxiously: "Commander, something happened in the Magic City?"
"Um?"
"What's wrong, Tianji, tell me slowly." Xu Dingfang frowned.
"Tang Zhi just called me and told me about the workers' riot in Shanghai."
"What? How could this happen..." Xu Dingfang stared in surprise.
"Tang Zhi said it was because Hua'an Bank couldn't withdraw the money."
"What do you mean? Why can't Hua'an Group Bank withdraw money?"
Xu Dingfang didn't expect that it would be because of this incident.
He knew that Hua'an Group was the third largest bank in Shanghai and the official bank of Jiangnan Army.
"I don't know, but according to the investigation, Hua'an Bank really has no money."
He Tianji was also very confused. He didn't expect that Hua'an Bank would run out of money. This was really strange.
"Go investigate as soon as possible and report to me immediately after the investigation is clear."
"It's the commander-in-chief!" He Tianji responded and left.
Xu Dingfang was not in the mood to slip away and could only return to the office.
Halfway through, he asked his secretary to call someone.
The Commander-in-Chief’s Office…
"Dong dong~dong~"
"Father, look for me!" A young man suddenly walked in outside Xu Dingfang's office.
The young man looks very similar to Xu Dingfang and is full of bookishness.
"Tian'er is here, come and sit down." Xu Dingfang pointed to the chair and said. "
This young man is Xu Tian, Xu Dingfang’s son!
"Tian'er, how are you doing lately?" Xu Dingfang asked with concern.
"It's not bad. I learned a lot at the General Staff Headquarters." Xu Tian said with a smile.
"Hahaha, that's good." Xu Dingfang leaned on the back of his chair and laughed.
"Oh God, now that Fusang has invaded my country, what do you think of the current war?"
Xu Dingfang stood up and walked to the sofa next to Xu Tian and sat down.
"Father, Fuso's wolf ambition has been exposed. They just want to add our Yan country into their territory, but I have to say that the combat effectiveness of Fuso's troops is indeed very powerful. Take the Northeast Campaign, the Battle of Ji Province, the Battle of Lu Province, and the Battle of Ji Province In these four battles, the combat effectiveness of the Fuso Army is not comparable to ours. We even had to sacrifice four to six soldiers to replace one of them, which is enough to show the gap between us and them."
Xu Tian said what he was thinking, then looked at Xu Dingfang and said: "Father, I think we should pay more attention to the combat effectiveness of the army. Some time ago, my father purchased equipment for two armies. This is far from enough. I think my father should be equipped with more equipment, these are our assets against Fuso."
After Xu Tian finished speaking, he looked at Xu Dingfang.
But Xu Dingfang was a little angry. The reason for his anger was not because of what Xu Tian said but about the batch of equipment.
Doesn't he know that advanced weapons are the decisive factor in victory, but the key is that he is not the only one who has the final say on the Jiangnan Army. The equipment that he originally wanted to give to five or six armies can now only be given to two armies.
Xu Dingfang didn't show any anger on his face but raised his hand to signal Xu Tian to continue.
"Father, I think we should contact the Shu Army."
"Why do you say that!" Xu Dingfang got a headache when he mentioned the Shu army. Now he didn't even know whether the Shu army was an enemy or a friend.
"Father, wasn't the victory of the Jin Province campaign due to the Shu army? If there was no Shu army, do you think the Northwest Army would have been able to hold off the Fusang Army?"
"This battle alone is enough to show how powerful the Shu army is." Xu Tian frowned and looked a little excited.
"God, I don't know how powerful the Shu army is, but have you ever thought about it. If we cooperate with the Shu army, even if the Shu army helps us defeat the Fusang army, what will happen in the future? Who is in charge of this Yan country? Am I still the same Qin Jinhong?" Xu Dingfang stood up and clasped his hands behind his back with a serious tone.
"Father, how can you think like this?"
"Now that the country is facing a national crisis, the Fuso Army has occupied a small half of our Yan country's territory. Why can't we unite as one and fight the enemy with one heart?"
"Tian'er, your vision is too short-sighted. If the Shu army agrees to become the army of my Jiangnan Army, then I will definitely cooperate with the Shu army without saying a word. But the Shu army is currently unable to advance. During this period, you Many of Uncle Long's people died in their hands."
"Father, this is different!"
"this……"
"Tian'er!"
Xu Tian wanted to say something more, but Xu Dingfang scolded him.
"There is no need to say any more about this matter. I am very happy that you can learn your skills in the staff department, but I don't like what you are saying now. You should reflect on yourself."
Xu Dingfang didn't look at Xu Tian, but said to Xu Tian with his back serious.
"Yes, father..."
Although Xu Tian wanted to persuade him again, he knew that his father was already angry and nothing could change it.
On the contrary, it will arouse the anger of the father.
"Tian'er, don't think about the Shu Army anymore. You have to study hard. You will still need to be in charge of the Jiangnan Army in the future." Xu Dingfang said and walked to the chair and sat down.
"Father, I still have a lot to learn."
Before Xu Dingfang could speak, He Tianji walked in from the door, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand.
"Uncle He!" Xu Tian quickly stood up and shouted when he saw He Tianji.
"Xiaotian is here." He Tianji saw Xu Tian nodded and said with a smile.
"Tian'er, please go out first. Your Uncle He and I have something to do."
Xu Dingfang knew that He Tianji was in trouble, so he sent Xu Tian away.
"It's father." Xu Tian glanced at He Tianji and went out, closing the door before leaving.
"What's wrong Tianji?" Xu Dingfang asked after seeing the door closed.
"Commander... found it..." He Tianji said a little unnaturally.
"Commander, you'd better read it yourself..." He Tianji put the paper in his hand on Xu Dingfang's table.
Xu Dingfang glanced at He Tianji doubtfully and picked up the paper.
When he saw the first page, Xu Dingfang opened his mouth in shock.
After reading the next few pages, Xu Dingfang threw the paper on his phone and asked, "Is this... is this true?"
"Well..." He Tianji nodded.
"How could this happen...Has the Demon City become so corrupted..."
Xu Dingfang sat down on the chair feebly. He knew that many people in his Jiangnan Army had ulterior motives, but he did not expect that they had become so corrupt.
"No!"
"Tianji, no."
"This can't be done by ordinary people. There must be someone behind them."
Xu Dingfang stood up, his face full of anger.
"Tianji, I'm going to trouble you now..." Xu Dingfang looked at He Tianji and said this.
"Commander, tell me!" He Tianji was not shy and stood at attention to let Xu Dingfang give orders.
