Chapter 133: The Aftermath (1)
Early in the morning, the five big men of the "Liu Yun Rebel Group Left Behind in Beijing" -- Marshal Liu Yun, Minister of National Defense, Wen Yi, former Prime Minister, General Yang Zhengjin, Chief of the General Staff, General Hu Ke, Chief of the Operations Division of the General Staff Headquarters, and General Gu Yingyang, Chief of the Intelligence Division of the General Staff -- swallowed the delicious breakfast cooked by Luo Sulan and Liu Qianhua, and then began a conversation between the men.
"I discussed with Wen Yi last night, for the aftermath of this incident, we have to do the following things in the next few days." Liu Yun said in a natural leader's tone, "First, for the sake of secrecy, the troops that have participated in the operation against the task force should be transferred to the front line as soon as possible after special handling, and the task force should be re-encircled with the newly transferred troops. β
Chief of Operations Hu Ke obviously had a plan: "Yes, the troops participating in the battle yesterday include the Praetorian Guard Teaching Brigade, the Army Instructor, and the 25th Brigade of the Ninth Infantry Division. In order to continue to encircle the contingent, the Fourth Infantry Division from Shandong, the Third Marine Brigade from Tianjin, the 115th and 116th Reserve Brigades from Shanxi, and the 117th Reserve Brigade from Henan could be transferred to Zhili, and at the same time, the Seventh Field Army, which had the 28th and 29th Reserve Infantry Divisions and the 12th Artillery Group of the Provisional Artillery Group, could be transferred back to the interior to garrison in case of contingencies. β
"Very well, that's it." Liu Yun was very satisfied with Hu Ke's meticulous thoughts, "Next is the second point, we must count the losses around the capital as soon as possible, and use the remaining military and police to clean up the urban areas damaged by the task force's attack, and pack up the city to prepare for the return of the royal family, the government, the Congress, and the citizens." Yang Zhengjin is solely responsible for this matter, Chief of Staff Yang, from now on, I appoint you as the commander of the Beijing Division Garrison Region and the Beizhili Military Administrative Region, and will unify the command of the army and navy units in the Beizhili Military District, the Imperial Capital Detachment of the Internal Guard of the National Security Department, the Imperial Capital Mobile Team of the Police Department, the Haw Par Battalion, and the Eagle Wolf Team. β
"Yes!" Yang Zhengjin was not flattered, he had long been accustomed to Liu Yun's high trust in him.
"Third, I have selected reliable personnel from the Eagle Wolves to go to the task force base as liaisons, and Gu Yingyang is responsible for maintaining contact with these liaisons, and is fully responsible for the accusations of the intelligence organizations of the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense, and Gu Yingyang and Hu Ke will take turns to be on duty here, and maintain contact with the Ministry of National Defense, the General Staff, the Cabinet, and the base camp that have moved to Tianjin at any time."
"Yes!" For Gu Yingyang, who has been sitting at the desk of the General Staff Office since the First Sino-Japanese War, such a duty is nothing.
"Fourth, I have decided that on May 3, except for Yang Zhengjin, everyone will go to Tianjin together to meet with other comrades and arrange specific aftermath matters. One thing to be clear, we must not take this lightly until May 20th, that is, before the contingent leaves! Yang Zhengjin, you should pay attention to one point: before May 20, no unrelated personnel will be allowed to enter the Beizhili Military District, and the return of the royal family, the government, the National Assembly, and the surrounding civilians will be arranged to start after May 20, during which the cabinet and the base camp will continue to carry out their functions in Tianjin. You all get the idea. β
"Understood!" The generals spoke in unison.
"Next, I'm going to go with Wen Yi to meet with the task force personnel of Toucheng, and you can act on your own according to the arrangement I just made."
"Yes!"
Liu Yun led Wen Yi to the door and saw Liu Qianhua waiting there.
"Aunt Luo won't let me wash the dishes, told me to wait here......" As if to hide something, Qianhua deliberately looked elsewhere.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Liu Yun was very relieved to notice the change in Qianhua's attitude, and his tone was full of his father's love for his daughter - or rather, Liu Yun was gradually regaining the feeling of being Qianhua's father.
"It's okay...... Be careful on the road. Qianhua plucked up the courage to say this, turned around and ran away.
"That's your family? She looks so pretty......" Wen Yi smacked his lips.
Liu Yun smiled slightly: "Save it, it's not your turn." β
"Hey, what do you mean, would I be mean enough to do something to your daughter?" Wen Yi looked innocent.
"It's hard to say, maybe you didn't marry because you missed my family thousands of times earlier......"
After the two went out, the generals in the house burst into laughter.
An hour later, in the mansion of Duke Wuwei, Liu Wen and the others met with a total of six defectors in a spacious and bright room.
The man with a metal-like face and a bandaged bed was Wu Haisong, a former task force special operations officer and former NSA agent.
The woman sitting on the right side of the bed has a mature and pretty face, a plump figure, and a feminine style.
"This is Yang Yuxiang, a special technician of the Flying Scheme, she secretly escaped from the task force base last night, and she happened to save me halfway...... "Wu Haisong introduced Liu Yun.
"It's hard work, if it weren't for you, we might have lost this talent who is important to us." Liu Yun nodded to Yang Yuxiang.
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Yang Yuxiang smiled very charmingly.
On the other side of the bed, there were four men sitting side by side, and the two on the side of the head of the bed did not need to be introduced, it was Fang Tianhua, the deputy captain of the task force, and Pan Guochen, a member of the team.
"Second Lieutenant Liang Gensheng, the former leader of the first squad of the task force, is twenty-four years old, unmarried, and has no relatives over there, and his biggest long-cherished wish in his life is to be a famous general who fights for the country in all directions, hoping to serve Your Excellency's empire."
"My name is Pan Shao'an, a former member of the Special Research Department of the Flying Planning, a professor of the Department of Space Physics of Peking University, thirty-one years old, and I hope to contribute to your cause."
Liu Yun smiled and shook his head: "I think you must have misunderstood something, this empire is not mine alone, I am only here to serve as the Minister of Defense, that is, the Minister of Defense...... I forgot to introduce to you that the Mr. Wen Yi next to me is the former Prime Minister of the Empire, that is, the Prime Minister who is often referred to over there, and the Elder Minister of the Empire......
Everyone nodded to Wen Yi in succession.
"Our group implements a collective leadership mechanism, I am not an emperor, nor a dictator, basically, I am in charge of the military, and other issues have to be discussed by the main comrades, our group is united with the goal of building the country of dreams, if you join us only to promote and make a fortune and other petty profits, not only do I not welcome it, but my comrades will also despise it - of course, I believe that there should be no such people among you. I'm glad you're here with us, and I'd like to know more about your respective strengths. β
"I ...... I hope to serve the Empire's intelligence cause, and I feel that I have the talent and practical experience in this area......" Wu Haisong said with difficulty.
"Although my major is space physics, I also have a bachelor's degree in economics, and I am very interested in economics, and I also planned to get involved in the field of finance and trade after the mission, hoping to serve the economic cause of the empire." Yang Yuxiang said with a bright smile as if he was doing a show.
Fang Tianhua turned to Wen Yi: "Mr. Wen, I finally met you, I was once moved by the articles you posted on the Internet, and since then I am determined to be a person who changes the world, I didn't expect to see you here, no matter what I do, as long as I can participate in the creation of the great country you once sketched, I am already very satisfied." Basically, I can do it in military affairs and politics, and I think I have some organizational skills. β
Wen Yi nodded happily: "Have you read my article?" Okay, let's talk when we have time. β
Pan Guochen, the youngest among the defectors, was still a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands and lowered his head and whispered: "I have the same meaning as Deputy Fang, but I am not as capable as him, I am not afraid of everyone laughing when I say it, in fact, what I want to do the most is to design warships, I have designed hundreds of warships of various periods in the computer myself, and my home is full of warship models...... In short, I hope to contribute to the naval cause of the Empire! β
Liang Gensheng straightened his back, and his voice was sonorous: "My idea is very simple, I hope to fight for the empire!" β
Pan Shaoan asked: "Actually, I don't know very much about what kind of country the two want to build, can you briefly explain to us?" β
Liu Wen and Wen glanced at each other, and Liu Yun nodded to Wen Yi and motioned for Wen Yi to speak.
"To put it simply, we want to build a new Chinese empire that dominates the earth, surpassing any country in the world in terms of economy, military, culture and political concepts, and we want the whole world to worship the Chinese empire and the new oriental civilization, not the American empire and the greedy, cruel, and hypocritical so-called Western civilization like there."
"See, then, allow me to join this great cause, not only in physics, but also in politics and history, and with a bachelor's degree in public administration in college, hoping to serve the empire in education or in government administration."
Liu Yun nodded with satisfaction and said: "I am glad that you all spoke your hearts very happily, I have understood your wishes, and after discussing with Mr. Wen and other comrades, I will try my best to meet your requirements." From now on, we will be comrades, but since the task force has not yet left, for the sake of your safety, you will stay here until May 20th, and I will send special people to take care of you, and I will also send some newspapers and magazines so that you can have a basic understanding of this worldly world. Okay, I've got other things to do, we'll see you later. β
In addition to Wu Haisong, who was lying in bed, the other five defectors hurriedly got up, bent down and bowed, and sent Liu Wen and the others out of the houseβtheir new world and new life had been completely bet on those two big men.
