After the sun struggled to rise, the sunset clouds around it were particularly bright red, as if the sky was smeared with a layer of human blood, and it might drip down at any time.
The streets near the hotel were very "lively". Since ancient times, Nanjing people had the talent of gathering together to gossip. They were keen to ask around for news, especially when rumors were spreading everywhere and panic shrouded the city.
On the street, sometimes there were noises, sometimes whispers, which made those who had no idea what was going on feel uneasy. People had turned to their relatives and friends who worked in the government or the army for help, hoping to get a little bit of information.
In the past few days, all kinds of unreasonable natural phenomena had left the experts helpless. Everyone in the streets and alleys knew that something big was going to happen, but no one could tell what kind of big thing was going to happen.
The government had repeatedly kept silent, and the military had never given a direct answer. The citizens who felt that they were being deceived and betrayed, even though they were full of resentment, except for throwing a few small stones at the government building, there was nothing else they could do. More practical people were contacting all kinds of relationships to deal with the big changes that could already smell the smell of danger.
In the evening, there were several rumors from the army, and some videos and images on the Internet that were too late to delete, or no one had the time to delete, also confirmed these rumors. The drivers and students of Jin Ling University who witnessed the incident on Zhongshan East Road spread these rumors at the speed of a wave.
Rumors said that there was a flying man on the street!
Rumors said that there was a sword fight that had disappeared for many years in Jin Ling University!
Rumors said …
While all kinds of strange events became the hottest topic in the city, a rumor also spread. It was said that the government was going to secretly establish a safe zone in Shanghai!
Chu Yunsheng, who was in the hotel, could not know the various changes on the street, but he could feel that Song Zihuai's people were adding fuel to the fire and secretly working.
The thick curtains temporarily isolated him from the chaotic world outside the glass. The light in the room was yellow, a little dim and a little dull.
His future ally had become his enemy, and his future enemy had become his current ally. Chu Yunsheng finally realized that even if a person knew what was going to happen in the future, he might not be able to control the situation.
Fang Baixiao was sitting on the oval sofa opposite him. He was wearing a straight military uniform, and his leather shoes were clean. His meticulous eyes revealed the unique calm temperament of a soldier. His every move and every word showed that he was capable and decisive. No matter from which angle one looked at him, he didn't look like the father of a perverted son.
From the bottom of his heart, Chu Yunsheng did not want to deal with the Fang family, but Zhu Xirui, this idiot, forced him to sit with the Fang family.
"Mr. Chu, how sure are you that you can defend Shanghai?" Fang Baixiao flicked the cigarette ash, and his pupils shrank slightly. He didn't look down on Chu Yunsheng because of his age and status. Instead, he asked cautiously.
"70%!" Chu Yunsheng said without hesitation, "I can only tell you that it is at most 70%, and it must be under the situation where the main force of your military region is defending."
Fang Baixiao slightly nodded his head and did not rush to speak. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "if it is only 70%, why do we have to give up Nanjing and go to Shanghai, where there are no military construction sites and no dangerous areas to defend?"
Chu Yunsheng realized that Fang Baixiao not only wanted more convincing evidence, but also wanted him to reveal more things. But there was one thing that was very strange. The focus of Fang Baixiao's worry and doubt was not the problem of "whether there will be a disaster", but the problem of choosing a place to defend.
This meant that Fang Baixiao or the military must know something, and they must have confirmed it. Otherwise, with the degree of caution of the military, they would not ignore such an important first step.
"70% does seem a little less." Since Fang Baixiao did not say it, Chu Yunsheng also would not take the initiative to say it. The reason was still the same as what he said to Yu Jian. It was too difficult to explain, and his words did not have much authority. So he still followed his own thoughts and emphasized, "but it depends on the horizontal comparison. If you defend Nanjing, I dare to say that you will not even have a 10% chance of success. In the future, this place will be a place that all kinds of dangerous forces will fight for! "
Originally, he was planning to say this to Zhu Lingdie's father, Zhu Xirui, but now he was discussing it with his enemy, Fang Baixiao.
"Dangerous forces?" Fang Baixiao's eyes suddenly lit up. He sat up straight and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chu also thinks that it is some kind of force or …"
"Yes, it is a creature!" Chu Yunsheng smiled and said directly, "to be exact, it is an insect, a kind of insect-like creature. It has a huge body and amazing attack power. With the current weapons, we can't effectively kill them."
Fang Baixiao suddenly stood up and frowned. Then he sat down again and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot my manners. Mr. Chu, if we want to convince the military area command, especially the commander-in-chief, we must have sufficient reasons to prove that defending Shanghai is better than defending Nanjing. I hope you can understand. "
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head. He was surprised by Fang Baixiao's reaction just now. The frown on his face did not mean that he was surprised. Instead, it was more like a kind of "confirmation" that he was worried about. This made Chu Yunsheng suddenly remember one thing.
When he was still in Horlivka, Corina, who came from the rebel army, once told him a secret about the World War II. One of the secrets was related to the discovery of many giant insect carcasses in a cave that he had long forgotten the name of.
After the World War II, the People's Liberation Army became the actual armed force in that area. If what Corina said was true, the military must have sent people to investigate that area. Even the No. 1 old man might not be able to hide the information they obtained. Fang Baixiao's father, Fang Yuehou, could also be regarded as a high-level military official. Perhaps he used to work in that area, so it should not be surprising that he knew some secrets.
Thinking about this, perhaps this matter was also related to Fang Yuehou's insistence on cooperating with the Fire race. Chu Yunsheng suddenly looked forward to meeting this old man alone. But now was not the time. The key now was just like what Fang Baixiao said, he must have sufficient evidence. Otherwise, even Fang Baixiao could not be convinced, let alone their commander-in-chief.
When it came to evidence, Chu Yunsheng really did not have any. First of all, this was the world of the Pseudo-Monolith. He was not sure whether there would be a "real monolith" under the ground of Nanjing, but even if there was, he could not dig it out. Second, the arrival of Shang was even more unconvincing. During the period when even insects needed evidence, there was still a "Min" in between, so it could not be a strong reason.
After racking his brains, Chu Yunsheng gradually understood the meaning of Fang Baixiao's eyes. The so-called sufficient reason was actually himself!
The reason was very simple. Except for the lethality that he had shown, he had no reputation and prestige in other aspects at all. In the eyes of the military, what he said was not even as authoritative as half an expert. Therefore, what Fang Baixiao meant was not that he really wanted him to find any reason and evidence to argue in front of the military experts. Instead, he was constantly hinting that the reason was himself.
The unknown forces that the Nanjing Military Region had directly or indirectly come into contact with, such as the incident of the white-dressed swordsman at the scientific research base in Shanghai, the incident of robbing a military vehicle in Dan Yang City, and the incident of fighting in Jin Ling University. All of them were related to Chu Yunsheng. He killed the Fire race, and the white-dressed swordsman had a great connection with him. Therefore, Chu Yunsheng could actually act as the representative of this unknown force and tilt the balance of the decision-making level of the military region.
Fang Baixiao, as a member of the military, could not say these words, so he could only remind Chu Yunsheng by asking questions. Fortunately, Chu Yunsheng had the experience of being the "most powerful man in the world". If it was before, after Fang Baixiao left, he might not be able to understand the meaning of these words.
"Sure enough, they are all cunning, it is not easy to deal with them." Chu Yunsheng sighed in his heart. Since Fang Baixiao had given him so many ideas, his purpose was clear. He wanted to form an "alliance" with him.
It seemed that although he killed the Fire race's revivors, he still wanted to take its original "position". Wasn't the Fang family originally allied with the Fire race? The inertia of history was indeed very terrifying, even in the Pseudo-Monolith.
After figuring out this hint, the following conversation was much easier.
About two hours later, Fang Baixiao got up and said goodbye. When he left, he seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "Tomorrow night is the commander-in-chief's wife's birthday. The military region has invited many important people to the banquet. If Mr. Chu is not busy, I will send someone to pick you up. I believe the commander-in-chief will also want to see you. In addition, I heard that Deputy Chief of Staff Zhu will also bring someone to see the commander-in-chief. Mr. Chu, you need to be prepared. "
Chu Yunsheng didn't say anything. The birthday of the commander-in-chief's wife could not be earlier or later. It was obviously a pretense. The purpose was probably to gather important people from all sides to discuss the current serious situation. Otherwise, according to the regulations that the military was not allowed to interfere in local political affairs, the commander-in-chief of the military region had no right to directly convene a meeting of this level. This was a taboo. It should be known that the communication channel had not been destroyed yet, so an order from the central government could put him in a passive position.
However, this Zhu Xirui was giving Chu Yunsheng more and more headaches. Originally, he planned to cooperate with this person, but he did not expect that the cooperation would not work out. Instead, he became the biggest obstacle. Who would he bring? Could it be Li from the Ice Race? If it was, it would be even more troublesome.
After sending Fang Baixiao away, the more Chu Yunsheng thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. On the surface, everything seemed to be fine, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that Zhu Xirui and Fang Yuehou had never seen him in person, and they had never talked to him. Why did one resolutely reject him, and the other immediately approached him without hesitation? There must be something fishy.
Perhaps because he had experienced too many things, Chu Yunsheng was more and more sensitive to clues. He didn't even have time to eat dinner, and immediately went to find Yu Jian, who was sending Mo Wuluo home.
As soon as he entered the door, Yu Jian felt that Chu Yunsheng's face was not right. It seemed that he was angry, but also disdainful, which made him feel uneasy.
"Tell me, what did you do behind my back?" Chu Yunsheng smoked the cigarette again and signaled Yu Jian to sit down. If there was a problem, it would be Song Zihuai. At most, Yu Jian was just an errand boy, so Chu Yunsheng did not want to embarrass him.
Yu Jian smiled bitterly, sat down on the seat where Fang Baixiao just sat, picked up Chu Yunsheng's cigarette, and lit it himself, "Mr. Chu, it's not that I want to hide it from you. In fact, there is nothing to hide. There are too many trivial things, and you are also very busy, so we can't tell you everything one by one. To put it simply, the work in Nanjing had already started before you came. Several division commanders, as well as the commanders of the army groups, and the government also had contacts. Even if you didn't come to Nanjing, the work would still continue. After you came, it would be more beneficial for them to take action. "
"So you have always been in contact with the Fang family?" Chu Yunsheng asked, motioning Yu Jian to continue.
Yu Jian nodded and said helplessly, "there are some things that you may not know before. Zhu Xirui and the higher-ups had some conflicts before, so the Zhu family could not be won over. The military area command could only focus on other people, such as the Fang family, and several division commanders who did not have a close relationship with deputy staff officer Zhu."
"No wonder he didn't like me so much." Chu Yunsheng laughed self-deprecatingly. He was just an ordinary person, how could he know about the conflicts between Zhu Xirui and Song Zihuai? Then he asked, "Fang Yuehou is willing to cooperate with you?"
Yu Jian also laughed and said, "Mr. Chu, I am just a small team leader. Because of you, I can get in touch with the arrangements and movements of the higher-ups. Naturally, there are people from the higher-ups who are sent to contact the Fang family. But anyway, Fang Baixiao came to see you in person today, which means that the Fang family must have been persuaded by you."
"Song Zihuai and Fang Yuehou have a good plan." Chu Yunsheng thought for a while and said with a slightly sarcastic tone, "one wants to control the political power, and the other wants to control the military power. Without my discussion, the two of them divided my safety zone!"
Yu Jian did not answer. There were some things that Chu Yunsheng could say, but he couldn't.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng smiled and said, "it doesn't matter, if they want it, just give it to them. You can tell Song Zihuai, I have no problem with it. But if they dare to touch my business again, don't blame me for chopping them with a knife. "
Threats were necessary, and he also wanted Song Zihuai to know his dissatisfaction. Otherwise, he would really think that he was a fool. But it was not enough to affect the cooperation. Except for Song Zihuai, Chu Yunsheng couldn't find a better partner. Moreover, it was not worth it to kick Song Zihuai away for Zhu Xirui. Fang Baixiao had said very clearly that Zhu Xirui also had his own people. Even without Song Zihuai, he might not be able to get along with Zhu Xirui.
The situation in the future would be more complicated, but for now, the first thing was to "defeat" Zhu Xirui's group. Otherwise, he would not even be able to guarantee his own safety. Didn't they say that they were going to "capture" him? If they couldn't fight with words, then they would fight with force.
"Captain Yu, please tell Fang Baixiao that I will go tomorrow night!" Chu Yunsheng picked up the notes filled with densely written names in the drawer, opened the curtains, and looked down at the streets that extended in all directions.
