Chapter 1033: Waiting for the Rabbit
In the dense drizzle. A few pillars of light stretched out of the darkness... No, no. The roar of the engine broke the monotonous sound of falling rain, with a bit of bad breath, tearing the rain curtain and rushing into the distance.
Lu Jin sat in the cab of a domestically produced "Luo Ostrich" brand truck, next to his driver, both of whom were wearing Wehrmacht Army combat uniforms and steel helmets, and their expressions were equally serious.
As the Minister of National Defense, Lu Jin's combat uniform does not see any military rank mark, after all, he is a civilian official, not an active soldier, although he was indeed born in the Beiyang Army in his early years, but now. He was more of a politician than a military man.
The title of "Minister of National Defense" seems to have the meaning of a military general, but in fact, this post is actually only equivalent to the role of the president's national defense secretary, and Lu Jin can neither actually control the command of a certain national defense force unit, nor can he dictate to the general staff; now it is the General Staff that actually controls the national defense force, and the Ministry of National Defense is almost completely hollowed out.
Of course, Lu Jin was unwilling, so when there was an opportunity in front of him, he immediately seized it without hesitation. This opportunity is to launch a military coup d'état, get rid of the chiefs of staff of the three armed services who are above the chief of national defense, and then snatch the command of the army, navy, and air force from the general staff back to the Ministry of National Defense.
Lu Jin is a person who can't stand loneliness, he defected to the Beiyang Army in order to get ahead, but the Beiyang Group was not angry and was defeated by the United Front. As a result, Lu Jin's dream of getting ahead was shattered, and he has been working as his division commander in obscurity in the Wehrmacht Army since then. No promotion for more than 10 years. Depressed. If it weren't for the end of the political era, Lu Jin would probably have to stay in his division headquarters for the rest of his life.
It is the constitutional era that gave Lu Jin the opportunity to get ahead, Li Yuanhong, the democratically elected president, immediately promoted a group of "reliable" Beiyang old people, Lu Jin is one of them, at that time, President Li Da gave Lu Jin another choice, one is to go to Central Asia to be the deputy commander of the military region, the other is to serve as the Minister of National Defense Xiao Lu Jin hesitated for a while, and chose the position of Minister of National Defense, after all, the Central Asian Military Region is a little high and far away from the emperor, and Lu Jin, an outsider, is afraid that he will also be excluded. It is better to stay by the side of Mr. President and assist the President in his scheme. If this constitutional plate is completely settled, in the future, perhaps the chief of national defense will be able to suppress the chiefs of staff of the three services.
However, although the ideal is good, after all, the reality is even more cruel, and the position of the chief of staff of the three services is as stable as Mount Tai, and this person is affected by the whole body, and the president does not dare to move lightly. If there had been no economic crisis, perhaps the chiefs of staff of the three armed services would have changed hands two years ago, but as soon as the economic crisis broke out. The government urgently needs to stabilize the morale of the military, so the matter is delayed, and a delay is two years, in the end, Lan Tianwei is still his chief of staff of the three services, and Lu Jin is still the chief of defense, the army, navy, and air force have not yet turned over, and the constitutional plate is still dangling back and forth on the strongman's fingertips, and it is not good to say when it will fall to the ground and fall into pieces at the strongman's feet.
Lu Jin's participation in this military coup d'état is about public affairs, this is "defending the constitution" and talking about private interests, this is a gamble to get ahead, and in public and private, we must take risks, and we must also choose our camp carefully. Now, the holster on Lu Jin's armed belt is equipped with a kissing automatic pistol, the bullet is loaded small, if the coup fails, the bullet is prepared for himself, correspondingly, before the operation begins, he will also send his family to Tianjin, once the political poison fails. He immediately fled to the South Seas.
Now it seems that the future of this military coup is unclear, and the reason is simple, because the news just came suggests that although the fighting in Xishan Mansion continues. Zhaobei also seems to be surrounded in the Xijiang River. Over there, but the problem is that the commando team that carried out the order to attack the General Staff failed in its mission and failed to capture any key figures in the General Staff, Lan Tianwei ran away, and Jiang Fangzhen also ran away. Even Zhang Xiaozhun, who was originally recuperating at home, is gone, and their families are all gone, and no one knows where they have gone or what they are doing now.
According to the coup plan, surrounding the Xishan Mansion and seizing Zhao Bei is the first step in the action, and it is also a key step, as long as Zhao Bei is finished, his camp will be leaderless, and then the coup party can naturally divide and win over its remnants, without worrying about the overall situation, and at the same time, if the "legacy" of the political era of the General Staff is resolved, then this military coup will be considered a success.
But what does it say that the current actions show that the gang in the General Staff are old foxes who actually fled before the commandos arrived? This suggests that the coup plan may have been leaked.
In fact, Lu Jin has long been worried that the coup plan may be leaked, and he has also reminded the relevant people, but it has not been taken seriously, in Lu Jin's view, there are too many people involved in this coup plot, and it is difficult to ensure that there are no half-hearted people, according to Lu Jin's suggestion, the coup plan should be limited to the small circle with Beiyang as the core, but in the end, the coup command ignored Lu Jin's suggestion, and in order to strengthen the so-called "unity", they even brought Zhang Zuoshuang and Wu Junsheng's gang. It is very difficult to keep the so-called "dragon and snake mixture" secret, which is why the coup d'état decided to do it as soon as possible.
So, last night's operation began like this, but the division was unfavorable, and the coup troops attacking the General Staff were thrown into the air, seeing that the original plan could no longer be implemented, then Lu Jin must immediately implement the backup plan.
This backup plan is to expand the size of the coup force and pull the armored troops under the Gyeonggi garrison into the capital, as long as the armored troops enter the old Kouyang... 8 (Fishing Book Bar) A different experience! Feng, even if the General Staff wants to fight back, they must also weigh it well, and only the dawn of the world. Then the president's speech will stabilize the morale of the military, and at the same time, the battle of West Hill will also put an end to a strongman era.
Now, Lu Jin is on the way to Nanyuan, there. In addition to having an air base. There is also an army base where an armored division is stationed. Just pull that panzer division to the capital, and the rest will be very easy.
That armored division is the sixth armored division, which is a new unit formed in yo year, although it is a new unit, but the backbone is all from several split commander's hall armored divisions, after several years of integration, it can be said. The combat effectiveness of the division is already quite strong, and as long as the logistics support is sufficient, there is no suspense in sweeping the north.
Lu Jin took a great risk when he went to Nanyuan to transfer troops, after all, he was the chief of national defense. In peacetime, the dispatch and command of troops all depended on the General Staff Headquarters, but now, he personally rushed to the grassroots units to mobilize troops into Beijing, which was risking his life.
Wealth and danger are sought. Lu Jin knew this truth, so after hesitating, he still decided to take a risk, and according to the internal phone call an hour ago, everything was normal on the armored division's side, and it was worth taking a risk.
In this way, Lu Jin left the Ministry of Defense and drove to Nanyuan, accompanied by hundreds of soldiers. Divided into dozens of trucks, they drove south at high speed, racing against time to rush to the Nanyuan armored corps station.
Now, it is less than a kilometer away from Nanyuan, but Lu Jin's heart is beating faster. The night of the coup d'état. There was no cannon or gunfire around here, only the monotonous sound of rain, which really made people's hearts feel unsettled.
Lu Jin looked out of the car window, but it was still dark all around, and he couldn't see anything, and it was half past three in the morning, when people were asleep, and it was hard to imagine that there would be a military coup d'état on such a quiet rainy night.
Finally, the driver slowed down, and Nanyuan arrived.
Lu Jin soon saw the brightly lit main entrance of the barracks, where the sentries stood on the sentry post. Under the light, the shadow of the sentry did not move, and the barricade outside the main entrance of the barracks was still there, equally motionless.
It seemed that everything was normal, Lu Jin gave an order, and the convoy accelerated forward, and was stopped by the two sentries in front of the main gate of the barracks.
"I'm Lu Jin, Minister of National Defense! On the orders of the president, I came to dispatch troops into Beijing to maintain order! ”
Lu Jin took out his documents, handed them to the sentry, and asked to speak to the base commander on the phone, and the sentry agreed to his request, led him to the sentry post, and shook the phone for him.
The call was answered by a staff officer on duty in the armored division, and after understanding Lu Jin's intention, the staff officer ran out and led Lu Jin into the barracks, and his entourage of guards also followed.
"It turns out that there was a riot in the city, no wonder the phone couldn't be shaken. Please ask General Chief Lu to sit in the office for a while, and I will call the division commander to come over. ”
The staff officer led Lu Jin into the office, poured him a glass of boiling water, and then turned around and ran out of the office.
There were also several staff officers on duty in the office, surrounding Lu Jin to ask questions from east to west, asking why he wanted to transfer troops into the city to maintain order, Lu Jin told the rhetoric he had thought of, or used the excuse of petitioning veterans as an excuse, as for the excuse of "Zhao Zhenhua launched a coup d'état", he did not dare to use it now, and it was difficult to guarantee that there was no descendant of Zhao Bei among the officers present.
When Lu Jin was discussing the route of the march with the staff officers, the staff officer who had gone to call the division commander ran back again, followed by a person, and after stepping through the door, the man shouted.
"Lu Jin, what the hell are you doing? It is clear that someone wants to carry out a coup d'état and overthrow the democratically elected government, but you say that it is a veteran riot, which is really reversing black and white, pointing at the deer as the horse! Still want to transfer troops? Delusion! ”
As soon as he heard this, Lu Jin was stunned, and when he looked back, it was Jiang Fangzhen, and behind Jiang Fangzhen was Lan Tianwei, chief of staff of the three armed forces.
"You" here? ”
Lu Jin's legs suddenly weakened, and he collapsed on the chair, there was no need to defend anything, Jiang Fangzhen's words had already indicated his position, and Lu Jin's premonition had been confirmed, the coup plan had indeed been leaked a long time ago, and people were waiting for the rabbit.
"Where would we be if we weren't here? I guessed that after you were in the air at the General Staff, you would come here to move the rescuers. But I want to tell you. You can't move the soldiers here, even if they are cooking soldiers, they won't go with you. As Lan Tianwei spoke, he walked up to Lu Jin, and with a sigh, Lu Jin didn't even have time to draw his gun, and he was cut off his hands and disarmed by the staff officers who were chatting with him just now.
"Lu Jin. Stay honest, we won't embarrass you now, the people you brought have now been disarmed, and when we follow the commander-in-chief to quell this armed rebellion, we will organize a military tribunal. ”
Lan Tianwei ordered the soldiers to tie up Lu Jin and escort him to the confinement room.
Lu Jin was escorted out of the office in frustration, and as soon as he walked out of the office, he heard a shout from the playground, but it was far away, but he couldn't hear what he was shouting.
"What's that?" Lu Jin turned around and asked Jiang Fangzhen, who was walking behind.
Jiang Fangzhen said: "It was the commander-in-chief's military parade in the rain, and he only arrived ten minutes before you, but we arrived half an hour before you." ”
"What are they shouting?" Lu Jin asked again.
"Tonight's counterinsurgency force's command: Iron-blooded Guardian of the Constitution." Jiang Fangzhen smiled playfully.
"Iron-blooded Protector? That's what it means to be a deer for a horse. ”
Lu Jin laughed angrily, he suddenly understood, why their flawed coup plan could be delayed until it was implemented, it turned out that the opponent was really waiting for the rabbit. (To be continued.) If you want to know what's next, please log in.... There are more chapters, and it is supported
