After the sun struggled out, the sunset clouds were particularly bright red, as if a layer of human blood had been smeared on the sky out of thin air, and it might drip down at any time.
The streets near the hotel are very "lively". Nanjing people have had the talent of gathering together to gossip since ancient times and are keen to inquire about news. This is especially true when rumors and panic hang over the city.
On the street, there was sometimes noise and sometimes whispers, which made those who had no idea what to do. People turned to relatives and friends who were working in the government or the army for help, hoping to get some tidbits of news.
All kinds of unreasonable natural phenomena in the past few days have left experts at a loss. In the streets and alleys, in front of and behind the village, everyone knows that something big is going to happen, but no one can tell clearly what kind of big thing is going to happen?
The government has repeatedly kept silent, and the military has never given a direct answer. Citizens who feel that they are being deceived and betrayed, even though they are full of resentment, have no choice but to go to the government building and throw a few pebbles. More practical people are contacting them. The relationship between the seven aunts and eight aunts is in order to cope with the big changes that can already smell the danger.
In the evening, several rumors leaked out from the army, and some videos and images that had not been deleted in time or that no one had time to coordinate on the Internet confirmed these rumors. Those on Zhongshan East Road The drivers who witnessed it and the students of Jinling University spread these rumors vividly at the speed of water waves.
Legend has it that a flying man appeared on the streets!
Legend has it that a sword fight that has disappeared for many years has appeared at Jinling University!
legend……
While various strange events have become the hottest topic in the city, a rumor has also spread - it is said that the government is secretly establishing a safe zone in Shanghai!
Chu Yunsheng, who was in the hotel, had no way of knowing the various changes on the street, but he could feel that Song Zihuai's people were adding fuel to the flames and operating secretly.
The thick curtains temporarily isolated him from the chaotic world outside the glass. The lights in the room were yellow, a little dim, and a little dull.
Future allies have now become enemies, and future enemies have become current allies. Chu Yunsheng finally felt it. Even if a person knows what will happen in the future, he may not be able to control the situation.
Fang Baixiao was sitting on the oval sofa chair opposite him, wearing a straight military uniform and his leather shoes were cleanly polished. His meticulous eyes revealed the unique calm temperament of a soldier, and his every move and every word and deed showed competence and decisiveness. From any angle, it was impossible to tell that this was the father of a perverted son.
Chu Yunsheng didn't want to deal with the Fang family from the bottom of his heart, but Zhu Xirui, an idiot, forced him to sit with the Fang family.
"Mr. Chu, how sure are you of holding Shanghai?" Fang Baixiao flicked the ashes from his cigarette. His pupils shrank slightly and his eyes were introverted. He asked cautiously without showing any contempt because of Chu Yunsheng's age and identity.
"Seventy percent!" Chu Yunsheng said without hesitation: "I can only tell you that it is only 70% at most, and it must be defended by the main force of your military region."
Fang Baixiao nodded slightly and was not in a hurry to speak. He thought for a moment and then asked: "If it is only 70%, why should we give up Nanjing and go to Shanghai, which has neither military construction sites nor danger to defend?"
Chu Yunsheng realized that Fang Baixiao not only wanted more convincing evidence. And I want to reveal more things myself. But one thing is strange. The focus of Fang Baixiao's worries and doubts is not on the issue of "will there be a disaster?", but on the issue of choosing a defense location.
This shows that Fang Baixiao or the military must have known something, and it has been confirmed, otherwise the military would not have ignored such an important first step with its prudence.
"Seventy percent does seem a bit less." If Fang Baixiao didn't say it, Chu Yunsheng wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. The reason was the same as what he and Yu Jian said. It was too laborious to explain and his words didn't have much authority. nature, so he still followed his own thinking and emphasized: "But it depends on the horizontal comparison. If you defend Nanjing, I dare to say that you will not be even 10% sure! This place will be a must-have for various dangerous forces in the future. place!"
He was originally planning to say these words to Zhu Lingdie and his father, Zhu Xirui, but now he was hilariously discussing them with his opponent Fang Baixiao.
"Dangerous power?" Fang Baixiao's eyes lit up. He sat upright and lowered his voice: "Mr. Chu also thinks it is some kind of power or life..."
"Yes, it's a living thing!" Chu Yunsheng smiled and said it directly: "To be precise, it's a bug, an insect-like creature with a huge size. The attack power is amazing. With the existing weapons, we have no way to deal with them. Effective lethality.”
Fang Baixiao suddenly stood up, frowning deeply, and then sat down again, apologizing: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. Mr. Chu, if you want to convince the military region, especially the commander-in-chief, you must have sufficient reasons to prove the superiority of defending Shanghai." Regarding the defense of Nanjing, I hope you can understand."
Chu Yunsheng nodded. He was surprised by Fang Baixiao's reaction just now. The "deep frown" was not a sudden surprise, but rather like a "confirmation" full of worry. This suddenly reminded Chu Yunsheng of something. Things come up.
When he was still in the city of Garlovka, Korina from the resistance army once told him a secret about World War II, one of which involved the discovery of many huge suspected insects in a cave whose name he had long forgotten. of corpses.
After World War II, the People's Liberation Army was the armed force that actually controlled the area. If what Corinna said was true, the military must have sent people to investigate. Even old man No. 1 may not be able to keep the information obtained. Fang Baixiao's old man My father, Yue Hou, could be considered a high-level military official. He might have worked in that area before, so it shouldn't be surprising that he knew some of the secrets.
Thinking about it this way, maybe this matter is related to Fang Yuehou's insistence on cooperating with the Fire Tribe. Chu Yunsheng was immediately looking forward to meeting the old man alone, but it is not the time yet. The key now is as Fang Baixiao said. Said, there must be sufficient evidence, otherwise not even Fang Baixiao can be convinced, let alone their commander-in-chief.
When it comes to evidence, Chu Yunsheng really can't come up with it. Firstly, this is the world of fake monuments. He is not sure whether there will be a "real monument" deduced from the fake monuments underground in Nanjing, but even if there is, It can't be dug out either. Secondly, the coming of disaster is even more unconvincing, a time when even insects need evidence. There is a Min in the middle, which cannot be used as a strong reason.
After racking his brains, Chu Yunsheng gradually understood something under Fang Baixiao's piercing eyes. After understanding the meaning of Fang Baixiao's eyes, the so-called sufficient reason is actually him!
The reason is simple. Apart from the lethality of force he has shown, he has no reputation or prestige in other aspects. What he says is not as authoritative as half an expert in the eyes of the military region. Therefore, Fang Baixiao's intention was not to actually find out the reasons and evidence for debate in front of military experts, but to keep hinting that the reason is yourself.
Unknown forces that the Nanjing Military Region came into contact with directly and indirectly include the incident of the swordsman in white at the Shanghai scientific research base, the robbery of military vehicles in Danyang, and the fighting incident at Jinling University. All of them were related to Chu Yunsheng. The Fire Tribe was killed by him. The swordsman has a great connection with him, so Chu Yunsheng can actually serve as the representative of this force. Tilt the balance of decision-making in the military region.
As a member of the military, Fang Baixiao couldn't say these words. He could only remind Chu Yunsheng by asking questions. Fortunately, Chu Yunsheng had the experience of being "the best in the world." Even after Bo Xiao left, he might not be able to understand the meaning of these words.
"Sure enough, each one is more cunning and cunning than the last. It's really not easy to deal with them." Chu Yunsheng sighed inwardly. Since Fang Baixiao offered suggestions and suggestions, his purpose was clear all the way. It means forming an "alliance" with yourself.
It seems that although the Fire Tribe's Resurrectionist was killed by him, he still wants to take his original "seat". Isn't the Fang Family allied with the Fire Tribe? The inertia of history is indeed terrifying. This is true even in pseudo-monuments.
Once you understand this hint, the rest of the conversation will be much easier.
About two hours later, Fang Baixiao stood up to leave. As he left, he seemed to think of something. He turned around and said, "Tomorrow night is the birthday of the commander-in-chief's wife. Many important people are invited to the banquet in the military compound. If Mr. Chu is not busy, I will send someone to pick you up, and I believe the Commander-in-Chief will also want to see you. Another thing, I heard that Deputy Chief of Staff Zhu will also bring someone to see the Commander-in-Chief, so Mr. Chu must be prepared."
Chu Yunsheng did not comment. The wife of the commander-in-chief of the military region had no birthdays earlier than later. But celebrating her birthday at this time was obviously a pretense. The purpose was probably to convene important figures from all walks of life to discuss the current severe situation. Otherwise, the army would not be able to According to the regulations that interfere with local political affairs, the commander-in-chief of the military region does not have the right to directly convene a meeting of this level. This is a taboo matter. You must know that the communication has not been destroyed yet, and an order from the central government can make him passive.
However, this Zhu Xirui gave Chu Yunsheng more and more headaches. The original plan was to ask this person to cooperate, but unexpectedly, the cooperation failed, and instead became the biggest resistance. Who will he bring? Could it be Li from the Ice Tribe? If it were true, it would be even more of a headache.
After sending Fang Baixiao away, the more Chu Yunsheng thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. On the surface, everything seemed fine, but if you think about it deeply, Zhu Xirui and Fang Yuehou supposedly had neither seen him in person nor had anything to talk to him. , why does one reject him categorically, while the other immediately approaches him without hesitation? There must be something fishy in it.
Perhaps because of too many experiences, Chu Yunsheng became more and more sensitive to clues. He didn't bother to have dinner and immediately found Yu Jian, who was under the pretense of sending Mo Wuluo home.
As soon as he entered the door, Yu Jian felt that something was wrong with Chu Yunsheng's face. He seemed to have both anger and disdain, which made him uneasy.
"Tell me, what did you do without telling me?" Chu Yunsheng started smoking again and motioned for Yu Jian to sit down. The problem also lies with Song Zihuai. Yu Jian is at most an errand boy, and Chu Yunsheng does not Make things difficult for him.
Yu Jian smiled bitterly, sat where Fang Baixiao had just sat, picked up Chu Yunsheng's cigarette, lit it himself and said: "Mr. Chu, I didn't mean to hide it from you. In fact, there is nothing to hide. Everyone There are too many trivial things, and you are very busy, so we can't go into detail with you one by one. To put it simply, the work on Nanjing had already started before you came, with several division commanders of the main divisions, and The commanders of the group armies have secret contacts, as well as the government. Even if you don't come to Nanjing, the work will continue, and your arrival will be more beneficial to their actions, which I won't say."
"So you have always been in contact with the Fang family?" Chu Yunsheng asked, signaling Yu Jian to continue.
Yu Jian nodded and said helplessly: "You may not be clear about some things in the past. Zhu Xirui and his superiors had some disputes before, and the conflicts have always been great, so the Zhu family cannot win over them. The military region can only focus on On other people, such as the Fang family, and several division commanders who are not closely related to Deputy Staff Zhu."
"I wonder why he doesn't want to see me so much." Chu Yunsheng laughed at himself. How could he, a common man, know about the conflicts between Zhu Xirui, Song Zihuai and others? Then he asked: "Fang Yuehou is willing to cooperate with you?"
Yu Jian also smiled and said: "Mr. Chu, I am a team leader. It is because of you that I can get in touch with the arrangements made by the above. Naturally, there are people with high status specially sent by the above to contact the Fang family. It is not my turn. You are a small person, but no matter what, Fang Baixiao came to see you in person today, which means that the Fang family must have been persuaded because of you."
"It's a good plan for Song Zihuai and Fang Yue to wait for them." Chu Yunsheng thought about it and said with a hint of ridicule: "One wants to control the political power and the other wants to control the military. Without my consultation, they will take me." The safe zone has been divided up!"
Yu Jian didn't answer. There were some words that Chu Yunsheng could say but he couldn't.
Chu Yunsheng smiled when he saw this and said: "It doesn't matter, just give it to them if you want. You tell Song Zihuai, I have no objection. But if they dare to reach out for my matter again, don't blame me for cutting with a knife."
Threats are necessary, and Song Zihuai naturally wants to know his dissatisfaction, otherwise he will really think of himself as a fool, but it will not affect the cooperation. Apart from Song Zihuai, Chu Yunsheng can't find a better partner for the time being. Furthermore, it is even more unworthy to say that Zhu Xirui pushed Song Zihuai out of the way. Fang Baixiao made it very clear that Zhu Xirui also has his own people. Even without Song Zihuai, he and Zhu Xirui may not be able to go on the same path.
The situation in the future will be more complicated, but for now, the first thing is to "defeat" Zhu Xirui's faction, otherwise personal safety cannot be guaranteed. Isn't it said that he has to "arrest" himself? If civil fighting doesn't work, then use force. Let’s see who makes a fool of who at the banquet!
"Yu Dui, tell Fang Baixiao for me that I will go tomorrow night!" Chu Yunsheng picked up the note filled with names written in the drawer, opened the curtains and looked down at the streets extending in all directions, and said in a deep voice.
