In the afternoon, more than four o'clock.

When Jiang Xue arrived in Lanling Living Village, in a rented house, he saw two of his squatting personnel.

The two had been in Lanling for more than two months. They were very embarrassed, with long hair, shaggy beards, and wearing military coats. They all looked at the delicious food Jiang Xue held in his hands, and their eyes were bright.

"Director, if we can't squat, we both are going to tie Xiaoli and his child." The middle-aged urn said angrily: "It's too difficult, eating multi-grain noodles every day, you have to cook the kang, and you have to work...! "

Jiang Xue put the food in his hand on the table and said with a smile: "Thank you."

The two immediately sat on the edge of the kang, tore open the packaging bag, and began to devour the smoked chicken, even the bones were broken.

"How many people are coming back?" Jiang Xue asked.

"Just Xiaoli herself." The middle-aged replied while eating.

"After coming back, did she walk around?" Jiang Xue asked again.

"No, just stay at her elder brother's house." The middle-aged man drank a mouthful of water on his back.

Jiang Xue lit a cigarette: "Watch her and wait for her to leave."

…

Songjiang, Clay Street, inside the Chuanfu Military Office.

Meng Xi was wearing a military uniform, holding the phone and said, "Okay, I'll be there on time for a meeting tomorrow at ten o'clock, hey, that's it."

When the phone was hung up, Kim Tae-soo sat in a chair and asked, "Will there be another meeting tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Meng Xi nodded and replied: "Call from the military department, let us participate in the military strategy research meeting at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."

In these three months, the newly formed Allied Forces, in addition to constantly supplementing the cooperation details of the parties, are also negotiating and arguing with the Shensha Group, the Lu Family, and the He Family.

The direction of the negotiations is mostly to allow the other party to recognize the status of the ally and the fact that Songjiang is officially independent. To put it simply, Feng Chengzhang's idea is to use the military strength of the Allied Forces to force Shen Wanzhou to publicly announce the abandonment of Songjiang, so as to truly make this place where he has the final say.

In fact, in private, the General Political Department of the Military Department has been completely unable to control Songjiang, because the Feng family's troops and Wu Tianyin's troops have already entered the city, so if they want to regain the rights of Songjiang, they must use military actions. Solving the problem, but now with the intervention of the Feng family, the Shensha Group, including the Lu family and the He family, are also afraid to open fire, and there is no certainty in their hearts that they will win.

Similarly, the Confederate army did not dare to take the initiative to open fire. Everyone just got together to keep warm. The units still need to run in. Some newly established departments also have stages and time for preparation, operation, and effectiveness.

In this way, the two groups of military and political forces in the nine districts have formed a confrontation. The flames are very strong, but everyone is deliberately avoiding the arrival of a real military conflict.

In the office.

Kim Tae-soo frowned and said: "Yesterday, the military sent a telegram to the SDF to the north of Changji and moved forward ten kilometers. This also caused a reaction from the Changji garrison. The nearest unit between the two sides is now only TM. For less than five kilometers, the people who use the swords and sticks every day have no effect. The soldiers and officers who get them are very nervous, and Commander Xiang is also a little dissatisfied."

Meng Xi sighed and replied: "How could it be ineffective? Shen Wanzhou is now on the bright side. Although he has not officially announced his succession to the military headquarters, he is actually doing the job of the commander-in-chief! Feng Chengzhang thought. Taking advantage of the unstable foundation of Shen Wanzhou, he took advantage of his power and used military force to take Songjiang down first and force the other party to recognize Songjiang's independence."

"Do you think Shen Wanzhou will agree?" Kim Tae-soo asked.

"It is already a fact that Songjiang is controlled, but under normal circumstances, the General Administration of the Military Department will certainly not recognize the legitimacy of the Allied Forces." Meng Xi said lightly: "You recognize the legitimacy of the Allied Forces, but it does not mean that you recognize the military. Did the General Administration of the Ministry do something wrong?"

"Yes." Kim Tae-soo nodded.

"But the current situation is different." Meng Xi continued: "Without our allies, it would be difficult for Shen Wanzhou to firmly unite the He family, the Lu family, and his side! Think about it, they have no foreign enemies anymore. , Xue Huaili and Lu Bosen, can they easily recognize Shen Wanzhou's leadership? If Changji had not been attacked, Lu Bosen hadn't bothered Shen Wanzhou at all before. Therefore, Shen Wanzhou has now formed a disgusting military balance with us. He wanted to take advantage of the pressure created by the Allied Forces on the Ninth District, and go straight to power in one go."

"So, it is possible for Shen Wanzhou to admit the fact of Songjiang's independence during this period because he dare not fight?" Jin Taezhu asked back.

"It's awkward to admit it directly, but it's possible to give up Songjiang indirectly." Meng Xi nodded: "Feng Chengzhang is smart and smart here. He knows what Shen Wanzhou's abacus is in his mind, so he has been doing Songjiang independence!"

"If Shen Wanzhou disagrees, then maybe he has to fight?" Jin Taezhu asked.

"Yes." Meng Xi looked at Kim Tae-soo: "I only worry about one thing now...!"

"what's up?"

"Does Feng Chengzhang want to run the Confederate army, or does he want to use the Confederate army!" Meng Xi said lightly. UU reading www. uumshu.com

Kim Tae-soo frowned upon hearing this.

"Forget it, the meeting tomorrow, there will be results." Meng Xi said solemnly.

…

The next day, it was more than eight o'clock in the morning.

In the middle of Lanling Living Village, in a large courtyard, Xiaoli is wearing a down jacket, squatting down in front of her son, reaching out and touching his cheek and saying: "Mom, I'm going out to work. You can study with your husband at home and listen to your uncle. ."

Reluctantly, the son lowered his head and said, "I don't want you to go."

"Mom doesn't make money, how can I feed you?" Xiaoli also felt sorry for her son, and she didn't give up. She said softly, "When I settle down in the city, I will pick you up."

"Okay." The son nodded sensibly.

Xiaoli gritted her teeth and got up, took out five thousand yuan from her bag, reached out her hand and handed it to a woman: "Sister-in-law, this is a little bit of heart. Take it."

"Oh, how much can the child eat and drink, don't need it!" The sister-in-law said no, but she was very honest. She simply shrugged off and took the money.

"Obviously here, it makes you bother." Xiaoli said with a smile.

"It's okay, let it be here, what do we eat, what does he eat." The eldest brother said at the door.

"Well, then I'm leaving." Xiaoli nodded.

In this way, the eldest brother's family sent Xiaoli to the door, she got on the ride of the same village, and slowly disappeared from the sight of her son.

Xiaoli is a very strong woman. She didn't cry at home, but she secretly wiped her tears while sitting in the car. It is estimated that it would take another year and a half to look away from the child.

The car traveled all the way south and soon left the village.

An hour later, on the road outside the village, two off-road vehicles blocked the way.

The eight men got out of the car, pulled the door, and directly held their guns against Xiaoli's head: "Get out of the car!"
