Xiang Zehao stayed at Beifengkou for a total of two days before returning to Fengbei City.

Friday night, it was around seven o'clock.

Zhan Zhengchong personally picked up Xiang Zehao and rushed to the Party and Government Self-Defense Army headquarters with him.

On the way, Zhan Zhengchong asked, "How did you talk to Qin Laohei?"

"I'll give the Wu mercenary group 500 million. They changed their flags and changed their flags and hung them in the battle sequence of our self-defense army." Xiang Zehao replied in a plain manner: "The agreement has been basically completed, so we have to make money here."

Zhan Zhengchong pondered for a while, but couldn't help but remind him: "Qin Laohei did this with a purpose."

Xiang Zehao turned his head and looked at him without saying a word.

"He wants to differentiate our party, government and military affairs too obvious." Zhan Zhengchong said rationally: "After the military conflict in Tongchuan Town ended, Chen Wanzhou has taken the lead and imposed economic and military sanctions on the Sichuan Prefecture. Qin Laohei's life is not easy, so this trick is to break the deadlock. He wants to make chaos within the Ninth District first."

"I know." Xiang Zehao nodded.

"...Old Xiang, I'm afraid Qin Yu will fool you." Zhan Zhengchong advised straightforwardly: "The troops of the Wu mercenary group were all led by Wu Tianyin. They have been raised since childhood and have a solid foundation. Most of the soldiers are from Erlonggang and Beifengkou. They believe in Wu Tianyin, just like the people in the old triangle believe in Fengpu blind. There, the people privately call Wu Tianyin the Emperor Wu. With this kind of dominance and prestige, even if we send officers to his troops after we recruit them, it will probably not have any effect, and it is even more impossible to take over the core power. Wu Tianyin took 500 million of your military expenses, but when he turned around, this army did not listen to you, and you offended all our party and government tops, as well as the military and political groups. What should you do then? It will be a big deal."

"Qin Yu and Wu Tianyin won't do this." Xiang Zehao responded arbitrarily.

"What judgment do you make, they won't do this?" Zhan Zhengchong asked.

"Why is Qin Yu's purpose of doing this?" Xiang Zehao asked back.

Zhan Zhengchong thought for a while and replied: "He must want to enter the Pass and want to get involved in the internal strife in District 9."

"Then what are the benefits of him fooling me?" Xiang Zehao raised his eyebrows and said, "Among the people in the Ninth District, who firmly agree to the unification of the three major regions, maybe I and Commander Zhou of the Second World War Zone. He played with me. Will there be any reliable allies in the future? Once there is no political conflict between the party and government and military and government, where will Qin Yu find an opportunity to enter the pass?"

Zhan Zhengchong was silent when he heard this.

"There is a more important point." Xiang Zehao paused and said, "I have been in contact with Qin Yu for a long time. Although I have not shared a major event, I believe him. He does have ambitions, but he has never done anything out of the ordinary in his own alliance position. People who Governor Gu likes will not be wrong."

"Okay." Zhan Zhengchong nodded slowly, and continued to say: "Even if Qin Yu did not fool you, the internal pressure we will face will be unprecedented. The upper class of the party and government, including your father, have a firm attitude to stand on the Shen and Sand stance. However, as the only military armed force of the party and government, we have to cooperate with the hostile warlords of the Shen and Sand ranks... This... will definitely provoke great internal conflicts. First of all, the parliament will not be able to pass this stance."

"call!"

Xiang Zehao breathed a long sigh, turned his head and looked out the window and said, "Old Zhan, what is the significance of establishing a self-defense army? Is it to add weight to the struggle for power, support those old men, or to defend their country?"

Zhan Zhengchong was silent for a while: "This question is too big, I can't answer it."

"It is better to have short pain than long pain." Xiang Zehao frowned and said, "The warlord era in the ninth district must end as soon as possible. I have decided to do it."

Zhan Zhengchong had guessed what he thought from Xiang Zehao just said, and knew that he would not change his decision. The reason why he advised him was just to fulfill his responsibilities as a friend and subordinate.

The two of them looked out the window and were silent for a while. Xiang Zehao took the initiative to say, "Call Lao Liu from the finance department and people from various groups here, I'll hold a meeting later."

"Is it too late today?" Zhan Zhengzhong said, looking at his watch.

"Tomorrow on Saturday, I will accompany my wife and children." Xiang Zehao said softly: "Let's deal with today's affairs today."

"good."

Zhan Zheng nodded.

...

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, in the conference room of the Party and Government Self-Defense Forces, Lao Liu, the head of the financial department, and the heads of more than a dozen commercial groups in Fengbei and Changji, all sat on both sides of the conference table.

After everyone arrived, Xiang Zehao led the guards into the door.

"Hello commander!"

Everyone stood up.

Xiang Zehao smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone sits, no need to be polite."

When everyone heard this, they sat in their original position again.

"I'm asking everyone to come so late, I want to say something." Xiang Zehao sat on the main seat and pushed the microphone away, looking at the people in the room in a concise manner and said, "I need some military expenses here, and the amount is not small, so everyone needs help."

After everyone looked at each other, they still listened quietly.

"The total number is 500 million. Lao Liu of the finance department has found a way to withdraw 200 million from the existing military expenditure. The remaining share is shared by your companies and groups." Although Xiang Zehao smiled, his tone was unquestionable: "In three days, the money will be received."

"I have no problem here." Old Liu took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"You don't need to explain to the Ministry of Finance where the 200 million is spent. If they want to ask, just push it to me and Zhan." Xiang Zehao instructed.

"I understand!" Old Liu nodded.

"Do you have any questions?" Xiang Zehao looked at the heads of various group companies and asked.

"No!"

"No!"

“…!”

There was no unhappy expression on everyone's faces, and nodded very readily and responded.

Xiang Zehao is the prince of the party and government, and he started working many years ago, so he himself has supported commercial groups a lot. To put it simply, there are more private wallets. The bosses of these groups have today's commercial status, and they cannot do without Xiang Zehao's support.

In a few simple words, Xiang Zehao solved the money problem.

...

That night.

The news that Xiang Zehao raised money from the military headquarters soon spread to the upper-level circles of the party and government. Many elderly people of the same generation as Old Xiang talked to each other and expressed their dissatisfaction with Xiang Zehao...

at the same time.
