Xu Jianguo was not aware of what happened in Huzhou, but after the old woman returned to her office, the space servant he arranged to go to Jingzhou to monitor her brought him the news.
After taking a nap, Xu Jianguo saw the message, replied with "continue monitoring", and ended the communication.
That is, on the afternoon of the second day after the new round of liquidation operations began in Huzhou, a military train departing from Nanjing arrived in Huzhou.
When thousands of soldiers armed with live ammunition appeared at the Huzhou Railway Station, Zhang Xiankui, the commander of the Huzhou base, immediately received the news. However, when he learned that the team had the strength of two regiments, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Zhang Xiankui didn't know why Jinling suddenly sent troops to Huzhou, so after learning the news, he immediately contacted Wei Huai, the commander of the Jinling Military Region, to ask him what this meant, but the answer he got was that the order came from the central government, and their task was to cooperate with the Huzhou public security guards to maintain Huzhou's stability. The specific order documents were in the hands of the team leader, and all units must cooperate unconditionally.
Although Wei Huai simply recounted the incident, Zhang Xiankui heard another meaning behind it, which was that the central government was disappointed with his inaction as the commander of the Huzhou base, so they transferred troops from other places to intervene. This made him feel a little panicked.
Not long after he hung up, the phone on the table rang again with a rapid ring.
For some reason, Zhang Xiankui felt a little nervous when he looked at the ringing phone. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the phone.
But when he heard the voice coming from the phone, he immediately stood up as if by reflex, and stretched his whole body straight.
A few minutes later, Zhang Xiankui hung up the phone, and then he felt a sense of powerlessness coming over him. He fell back into his chair with a thud. He was not young to begin with, and now he felt even older.
The call came from Jingzhou. After he answered the phone, the first words that came out of the receiver were: "Commander Zhang, this is the West Hall of the Red Wall in Jingzhou. My name is Chen Jin, and I'm the secretary of the young master!"
Chen Jin on the phone did not explicitly express the young man's dissatisfaction with Zhang Xiankui's work, but he could hear that the central government was very clear about his recent actions.
Chen Jin called him for only one purpose, which was to order him to fully cooperate with the troops stationed in Huzhou from Jinling and to ensure the safety and stability of Huzhou and surrounding cities.
Zhang Xiankui licked his dry lips, picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip, and then lit a cigarette for himself. He knew that at this moment, it was time for him to really choose a side.
In fact, he knew everything that had happened in Huzhou City in the past two days, but he did not take any action. His purpose was to prevent the people in the Revolutionary Committee from having any evidence against him, and he wanted to protect himself by maintaining a neutral attitude.
Zhang Xiankui was a conservative person by nature, so when faced with a chaotic situation, he thought more about his own interests. Based on the principle of doing less and making fewer mistakes, he remained inactive.
Even when the director and secretary of the Huzhou Public Security Bureau personally called him for help, he refused on the grounds that he had not received any orders from his superiors.
Moreover, the people who called him these two days included not only those from the Public Security Bureau but also those from the Revolutionary Committee.
Of course, the purpose of the Revolutionary Committee calling him was more intriguing. In Zhang Xiankui's view, they seemed to be here to find out the truth and to know whether he would send troops to intervene in the current situation in Huzhou.
Zhang Xiankui naturally could not be fooled. He neither expressed support for the Revolutionary Committee's recent actions nor said he would intervene.
But this was exactly the answer that the people in the Revolutionary Committee wanted to hear the most, so when Zhang, Wang and Yao learned the news, they were completely relieved.
But what they never expected was that the young master would act so quickly. Just when the three of them received instructions from the old woman and were ready to take control of Huzhou in one fell swoop, soldiers from two regiments of the Jinling Military Region had already arrived in Huzhou with live ammunition.
"Hey, stand on the right side. Only if you stand on the right side can you win!" Zhang Xiankui put out the cigarette in his hand, muttered a few words, and seemed to have made some decision. He picked up the phone on the table and dialed it.
After hanging up the phone, he grabbed the military cap on the table, stood up and walked out.
Twenty minutes later, dozens of military trucks followed a jeep out of the gate of the Huzhou base and headed towards the train station.
At the same time, a convoy of trains from the Huzhou Public Security Bureau and its subordinate branches also departed, and their target was also the Huzhou Railway Station.
That is, on the second day after the troops sent by the Jinling Military Region arrived in Huzhou, the city of Huzhou, which was originally in some chaos, seemed to have been paused artificially.
Some citizens discovered that a large number of military and police officers had appeared on the streets conducting joint patrols, and the unemployed vagrants who had been wandering the streets disappeared without a trace overnight. Occasionally, a few gunshots could be heard in some corners of the city.
Some important institutions and facilities in Huzhou had also been taken over by the military at this time, including the Huzhou Municipal Government and the Revolutionary Committee.
As armed soldiers and public security guards appeared at the gates of these places, an invisible atmosphere of murderous intent spread.
Zhang, Wang, and Yao, who had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to completely control the city government, now fell silent and immediately informed the old woman far away in Jingzhou of the news.
After receiving the call, the old woman listened to the whole story quietly, and then said to the receiver: "Please stop for a while!" Then she hung up the phone and sat in a chair, lost in thought.
…
Ice City.
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when the family woke up from their nap. Looking at the unrestrained hairstyles of the three little ones except Daya and Wenwen, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but smile mischievously. He secretly took out his camera and recorded their sleepy expressions, which immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction from Funiu and Erya.
