The new mayor of Chengdu, Ding Ruchang, took office, and his name soon spread in the streets and alleys of Chengdu.
Everyone knows that the newly appointed mayor is named Ding Ruchang.
However, after taking office, Ding Ruchang did not rush to set up the new official's appointment. Instead, he kept a low profile and fully cooperated with Shi Dakai in the inventory and distribution of land. Ding Ruchang was so busy that he simply did not touch the ground. Li Zhen solved it After hearing about Ding Ruchang's affairs, he was free in a short period of time. Using this time, Li Zhen walked around Chengdu, investigated everywhere, and inspected industrial parks. Chengdu in later generations was the gathering place for western industry. Li Zhen naturally visited Sichuan. It's impossible to let go.
…
Military region, commander's office.
Liu Jintang is holding a pen and drawing up an army exercise plan.
Currently, soldiers in the Chengdu Military Region are not fighting, but this is just a temporary absence of war. It does not mean that there will be no war in the future. Therefore, the army must maintain absolute combat effectiveness. Liu Jintang realizes this, so the training of soldiers has not been Relax, not only the special forces of the army, but also ordinary soldiers must undergo training.
Therefore, Liu Jintang planned to conduct a large-scale drill to enhance the soldiers' understanding of actual combat, let them know how to respond calmly when encountering a war, and improve their combat effectiveness.
"Dong, dong,."
A knock on the door came from outside the room.
"Come in."
Liu Jintang put down the pen in his hand and looked up at the door.
The door opened, and the guard beside Liu Jintang strode in. The guard saluted Liu Jintang, and then said seriously: "Commander, something happened on the Indian battlefield to the west."
Liu Jintang raised his eyebrows, stood up abruptly, and asked, "What happened?"
The guard frowned and said quickly: "Zhang Zhidong, Guo Songtao was defeated by Xi Changzhen brothers. Someone has been sent to send a letter asking for help, asking the commander to provide a division of troops and weapons support."
Liu Jintang laughed loudly and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay."
This laughter left the guard baffled.
It was obvious that something serious had happened, so why were you still laughing? The guard was confused and asked tentatively: "Commander, why are you still happy after something happened?"
"Fool."
Liu Jintang glared at the guard and said, "I'm too lazy to tell you. Let's make arrangements and I'll go see the president."
"yes."
The guard was confused, turned around and went out to prepare.
After Liu Jintang left the military camp, he went straight to the hotel sponsored by Li Zhen. When he came to the hotel, he hurried to Li Zhen's temporary office. At this time, Liu Jintang had already concealed the excitement in his eyes and replaced it with a heavy look. expression.
After he sat down, he said in a low tone: "President, I just received news from Vice Minister Zhang Zhidong from India. Vice Minister Zhang Zhidong and Commissioner Guo Songtao requested support from the Chengdu Military Region and needed a division of troops and equipment. ."
Li Zhen frowned and his expression suddenly became serious.
I didn't expect that this would happen.
After Li Zhen pondered for a moment, he asked: "How much do you know about the situation in India."
"I know, the Chengdu Military Region that I am responsible for has the responsibility of controlling India, so I have been paying close attention to it." Liu Jintang smiled and said confidently and calmly: "I won't talk about the land area of India. It is a quite huge place. , except for the force composed of the troops brought by Vice Minister Zhang Zhidong and Commissioner Guo Songtao, the current India can be said to be in chaos during the Warring States Period, more complicated than during the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period."
"Including the power of Vice Minister Zhang Zhidong, there are four strongest forces."
"First, the British army. Although the British army has withdrawn, everyone knows that this is a superficial act. After they removed their flags, changed their uniforms, and put on the clothes of bandits, they are no longer the British army. Even if we I know, but there is nothing I can do about it. This force is the strongest because it has been operating in India for many years, and is far more powerful than the force brought by Vice Minister Zhang Zhidong."
"Second, the indigenous people of India, a large country in India, already had their own country and army a long time ago. It was only because of the invasion of the British that India became a puppet. But even after the fall of India, India's aspiring people However, the scholars formed a large force and have been committed to the restoration of the country. These are the local forces in India. As the British army turned from the bright side to the covert, these local forces lost the suppression of the British army and quickly developed. Even in order to achieve the goal of killing with a borrowed knife, the British not only did not restrict the development of Indian power, but also continued to provide help, hoping that these local people could stop us."
"Third, brothers Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong, these two can be called our old enemies. When they were in Guangxi, the president fought with them, and the two finally escaped to Vietnam. Later, during the Vietnam War, The two were defeated by the president again, and then fled to India step by step. Over the years, brothers Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong relied on their power to continuously annex local forces, and they have become the third largest strength. Moreover, Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen Both brothers are outstanding men. They are proficient in the art of war and can be said to be at home in India. They are already considered the overlords of the country."
"Fourth is Vice Minister Zhang Zhidong, who has just arrived. There is nothing to say about this."
"Although we occupy the name, the indigenous forces in India do not recognize us, and Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen are also opposed to our development. In addition, the British power is behind to add fuel to the flames. Under the continuous attacks of these three most powerful forces, Zhang Deputy Minister Zhidong couldn't stop it, so the current situation emerged."
After Liu Jintang finished speaking, he paused for a moment and continued: "In addition to these four most powerful forces, there are also large and small armed forces in various regions of India, all equipped with weapons and doing their own thing. All these forces combined, There are no less than one hundred armed forces, large and small."
After hearing this, Li Zhen's brows furrowed into a frown.
It seems that the situation in India has been underestimated.
Compared with Myanmar, Laos, and even the East Indies that Yang Jianhou was responsible for, the situation in India is more complicated, and India's territory is vaster, so it is not a simple matter.
Liu Jintang's eyes rolled and he said: "President, Vice Minister Zhang Zhidong has asked us for help. In my opinion, we must provide support as soon as possible. I plan to personally lead a division of troops there. What do you think? "
"no."
Li Zhen refused without even thinking about it.
"ah,."
Liu Jintang had a stunned expression on his face, almost crying.
When the guard first reported the news, he kept cheering because he could personally lead the troops to fight. Unfortunately, Li Zhen refused directly. How could this not make him sad?
Liu Jintang did not give up and said, "President, why?"
Li Zhen said calmly: "You are the commander of the Chengdu Military Region. After you go to India, who will take charge of Chengdu's military construction. At present, the Chengdu Military Region is still in a stage of rapid development, and there are still many things that have not been handled well. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to throw down your options and leave at this time?”
"Inappropriate."
Liu Jintang lowered his head and grimaced.
With a fox-like smile on his face, Li Zhen said: "You are not suitable, I am."
For a moment, Liu Jintang felt that he had been cheated.
