The color is dull, the sky is bad and cloudy, the rain has long stopped, Bei Ying earns old clothes and old wet, some low-lying places still accumulate small pools, reflecting the dim light under the street lamps, and occasionally a car runs over the small pools on the road. Suddenly a curtain of water flew up, calmed down in the sound of "bang", and left a mess on the side of the road.

At the corner of the street stood two patrol policemen, fully armed under the street lamp, particularly conspicuous in the dark, and two bicycles stood behind them, which were used for patrolling. During the economic crisis, social order is indeed somewhat chaotic, and the order of the capital must be maintained by these patrol officers, especially when night falls, the batons and pistols carried by the patrol officers are the best weapons to deter criminals, and the bicycle is the best means of transportation, faster than walking, but cheaper than cars, basically the symbol of the Chinese patrol in this era.

In addition to cracking down on criminal offenses, another important task of the patrol is to supervise the traffic order, the speed limit on the roads in the city, cars that are too fast will be stopped by the patrol police, and heavy fines will be imposed, so when the car driver sees the two patrol officers standing under the street lamp from afar, they will immediately consciously reduce the speed. But now, the two patrol officers were surprised to find that the oncoming domestic luxury car was speeding towards the street intersection at a very high speed, obviously greatly exceeding the speed limit, the specific speed is not clear, but it is certainly faster than riding a bicycle.

The two patrolmen unceremoniously stopped the arrogant car, but when the driver took out a document, the two patrolmen immediately let the car go, because it was not an ordinary document, but a military ID. The rank mark on the top shows that the driver of the car is a colonel, and in the back seat of the car, there is also a person who can let the colonel drive for himself, this person is only afraid that he is also a senior officer, this kind of person is not a small police officer can provoke, this kind of thief work is not easy these years, more than one thing is better than one less thing, so, as soon as the two patrol officers combined, they simply released the car, and they didn't even bother to remember the license plate number, but they knew that it was not a military license plate, it was a car with a civilian license plate, And the driver and passengers in the car were dressed in civilian clothes.

Because they didn't dare to ask the passenger in the car for their documents, of course the two little policemen didn't know, in fact, the middle-aged man wearing a top hat and a dress was actually Lu Jin, the defense chief of the Republic of China.

The dignified chief of national defense of the Republic of China, dressed in civilian clothes and riding in a civilian car, wandered around in this dark and dreary night. This in itself is a very strange thing, and when this domestic luxury car drove out of the city, something even stranger happened, a truck that had been waiting at the intersection on the outskirts of the city immediately met with this car on the side of the road, and in this silent night, Lu Jin, Minister of National Defense of the Republic of China, connected with a professional mercenary leader from the Second Republic of Lanfang, and this mercenary leader was Park Changxiu, a citizen of Lanfang of Korean origin.

。 This is the weapons and equipment we need. ”

Park Chang-so handed a note to Lu Jin, then lowered his hands and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a slightly nervous expression, he did not know the identity of this person, but according to the liaison, this person could provide their group of international mercenaries with the most advanced weapons, including light weapons and heavy weapons.

Lu Jin took the note and glanced at it hurriedly, while the colonel's driver who drove for him held a flashlight. Illuminate him.

A number of submachine guns, a number of light machine guns, a number of grenades, a number of anti-infantry directional mines, a number of anti-tank guns, a number of small anti-tank grenades, a number of radio stations, a number of military compasses, a number of flashlights, a number of dry batteries, a number of military cans" from the scribbled handwriting on this piece of paper torn from a cigarette is clearly a real professional soldier, whose professionalism may even be higher than that of an ordinary Wehrmacht junior officer, and the weapons he asks for are the most advanced weapons in the Wehrmacht's arsenal, and it was quite well thought out, and even snakebite medicine was required to be prepared.

Obviously, this is a group of real mercenaries, and with their help, the chances of success are much higher.

"You guys, follow me"

Lu Jin did not linger on the side of the road, and after reading the note, he quickly returned to the car, and instructed Park Changxiu to ride in the same car with him, and then ordered the driver to start the car and drive towards the west of the city, and after the domestic luxury car started, the truck parked on the side of the road also started immediately. They followed, and behind the truck, several more trucks, which had been hidden in the woods, took to the road, followed the truck in front of them, and headed west.

Along the way, Lu Jin was silent. Park Chang-so, who was sitting next to him, was also silent, the two never said a word, and barely looked at each other, just silently looked at the endless darkness outside the car window and listened to the dull sound of the car engine.

Half an hour later. The convoy finally stopped, Lu Jin took Park Changxiu out of the car, looked up, but this is a combat readiness warehouse under the jurisdiction of the Wehrmacht, here is an infantry company of the Wehrmacht that performs the guard task, usually the guard is very strict, but tonight the garrison here is quite lax, only the company commander with a few sentries stood on the sentry post, and kept looking around, as if knowing that a convoy was coming.

Lu Jin walked directly to the sentry, and the company commander hurriedly greeted him.

"Chief Lu, everything has been arranged according to your orders, tonight I will pull the troops out for training, even the cooking class... Fly, now the guards in the armor are all my cronies, you can put it

"Well, I'm not going in. You take this slip, you load it into the truck with a lot of things, and he goes in with you. ”

Lu Jin pressed down the top hat on his head, then raised his hand, pointed to Park Changxiu who was standing beside him, and then waved his hand, and the trucks behind him slowly drove up, followed the company commander into the camp, and stopped in front of several warehouses.

The loading of weapons and equipment took less than half an hour to complete, not only the guns and ammunition were loaded in the carriage, but even several light anti-tank guns were also loaded in the carriage, after that, Lu Jin quickly sat back in his car and returned along the same road with the convoy, but this time, Park Changxiu no longer guided him in the same car, but was responsible for escorting the truck behind the palace. Still at the intersection outside the city, Lu Jin and Park Changxiu acted separately, Park Changxiu led the truck team to the north, while Lu Jin drove back to Beijing in his luxury domestic car.

Lu Jin's car drove all the way back to the Ministry of National Defense, and when he returned to the office, there were already more than a dozen senior officers waiting in the conference room next door.

"Ladies and gentlemen, success or failure is here, success is the future, failure, I am afraid that there will be no place for us in China in the future. Now, it's still too late for you to quit. ”

Lu Jin's words made the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly more tense, and all the participating officers were silent for a moment, and then finally someone began to express their position.

"If the chief says a word, we will let the chief drive away."

"Yes, we listen to the chief."

More people began to express their positions, although a few people expressed some hesitation, but in the end, all the officers chose a path to go to the black, and where Lu Jin pointed, they pounced.

"Nope! You don't listen to me, you listen to the president! ”

Lu Jin's words raised the emotions of the officers again.

"Yes, listen to the president!" Someone followed.

Lu Jin was very satisfied with his subordinates' statements, so he immediately issued an order.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, your troops must be pulled out of the barracks and taken to Xishan before eleven o'clock tonight; Battalion Commander Feng, your troops and Battalion Commander Zhang's troops act in tandem, you will go wherever he goes, and you will be under the command of Battalion Commander Zhang; "Commander Jiang, your troop station is on the outskirts of the city, after you go back, immediately order the troops to enter combat readiness, once my order is conveyed to you, you must immediately personally lead the troops to rush to the presidential palace and protect the presidential palace, remember, your task is to prevent anyone from entering or leaving the presidential palace, neither let people in nor let people out!" As for the others, follow me, and when the time comes, they will all obey my command. None of you have to obey my orders, even if they come from the presidential palace. ”

Lu Jin's orders were quickly conveyed, there were no written orders, all orders were communicated orally, and the officers were forbidden to write down the orders on paper, and in order to prevent misunderstandings, he had to repeat the orders to ensure that everyone could act according to the plan.

"Now, each of them rushes back to the troops, and when the time comes, act immediately!"

Lu Jin quickly dismissed everyone, and after these officers left, he also immediately left the Ministry of National Defense, took an adjutant, and rushed to Zhou Xuexi's mansion in a car.

As soon as he heard that Lu Jin was coming, Zhou Xuexi immediately invited him into the study, and the two sat in the study and made some arrangements.

"Mercenary weapons received? How are the Nanyuan Air Force and Armored Corps prepared? Zhou Xuexi asked Lu Jin.

"The mercenary weapon has been received. On the Nanyuan side, our men can move on time, but there is no guarantee that all the troops will be controlled, so we must act quickly. All tasks must be completed before dawn. Lu Jin replied.

"Is the Ministry of Internal Affairs in contact with you?" Zhou Xuexi asked again.

"We have been contacted, Lu Jianzhang has no position, as long as the situation is in our hands. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will not cause trouble, it will only obey the orders of the Presidential Administration. Lu Jin nodded.

"How is the General Staff doing?"

"If those people don't cooperate, they will be wiped out! cooperated, and was escorted to the presidential palace. ”

"The president has issued an order prohibiting the Marines from entering Beijing, how should this matter be handled?"

"After dawn, the big picture is decided, and the president should see the situation. What's more, the Marines are only reserves, and they are used to distract from the line of sight, and they are never on the operational mission, and only two battalions can guarantee the arrival of Tongzhou on time. ”

"Okay, you handle military affairs, other things, I and others handle, once the operation begins, be sure to cooperate closely, report the battle situation at any time, if necessary, use heavy artillery bombardment

Soon, the conspiracy ended. Lu Jin quickly left the Zhou Mansion, while Zhou Xuexi picked up the phone and shook up another person involved in the conspiracy.

"Are the people from the three eastern provinces ready?" Zhou Xuexi asked.

"It's ready." The other party's answer was simple.

"Arrive on time."

"I understand. Be sure to arrive on time. ”

"After the deed is done, how will the relationship between the NLD and the United Front be handled?"

"The two parties merged." (To be continued.)
