Late at night, in Fengbei, District Ninth District, in the residence of Governor Zhou.

Qin Yu sat on the sofa, his face turned red when he drank, and his tongue was a little hard and said to Governor Zhou: "To be honest, the old leader. From the day I joined the army, or from the time I entered the Sichuan Mansion, I never thought that I could get to this day... Alas, it came up in a moment. I didn't know if I was ready in my heart, so I became the top leader."

Governor Zhou also drank a lot, his face was a little rosy, and he replied with his hands in his arms: "Are you the only one who has worked hard to get to this day?"

"I'll tell you the truth. At the beginning, I wanted to take these people around me to have a good life and a good future." Qin Yu replied helplessly: "But... when I got to a certain position, I couldn't help some things. I carried too much on my shoulders, and it was difficult to live out myself."

Governor Zhou looked at Qin Yu silently, and could feel his emotional changes in his heart, as well as the helplessness and confusion in his tone when he spoke.

"Governor Gu's health is getting worse day by day. He wants to build a system before leaving and help my father-in-law come to power. In fact, I know the intention in my heart." Qin Yu took a sip of wine, frowned and continued, "The more he does this, the more I feel that the things I carry on my shoulders are too heavy."

Governor Zhou looked at him and frowned and said, "Is this why you decided to go to District 8?"

"If it were before, I wouldn't have appeared at this time." Qin Yu lowered his head and said lonely: "But now it's only me. If I don't stand up, I'm ashamed of many people."

"Xiao Yu, standing at the cusp of great changes in history, you have to take on the corresponding responsibilities if you have the power." Governor Zhou comforted softly: "Indeed, it is indeed inhumane to impose the hope of a group, a political party, or even a nation. In fact, sometimes, I admire Lao Gu very much. Turning the tide and helping the building fall, this courage is not something that everyone has."

"It was this heavy pressure that overwhelmed the governor." Qin Yu sighed truthfully: "In the past, our Sichuan Mansion always had trouble, but he was very confident in his heart. He always felt that the big deal would be supported by the old man. In fact, now thinking about it, this is quite willful and selfish."

Governor Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he sighed and said, "You can think so, it means you are a qualified leader of the Sichuan Mansion."

"Hehe." Qin Yu shook his head and smiled, picked up his wine glass and looked at Governor Zhou and said, "I said, I don't want to be this leader now, do you believe it?"

Governor Zhou was stunned for a moment, his face became serious, and he shook his head without hesitation: "I don't believe it."

Qin Yu smiled even more bitterly, and raised his glass and said, "You guessed it right, come on, I'll give you a cup!"

"Do you know why Gu Yan was not transferred back?" Governor Zhou asked softly: "Do you know why Old Gu must give the position of Governor to your father-in-law?"

Qin Yu and Governor Zhou clashed with the cup, nodded heavily and said, "I know."

"You know, I'll give you a cup." Governor Zhou clashed with him: "The younger generation is hope."

"Oh." Qin Yu responded, and the two of them raised their necks and drank them all in one go.

...

Luhuai District 7, Zhou Party Headquarters.

Zhou Xingli sat on the main seat of the sofa, listening to the analysis of the staff.

"Commander, I think we can take action." A staff officer said with a serious face: "The conflict between the 122nd Brigade of Sichuan Province and the two regiments of the Eighth District, and the Chen faction has become clear. Huo Zhenghua's son died, and he probably won't give up. If he comes forward to win over or negotiate, I think their plan to establish a federation will definitely have an abortion."

"Yes." Another major general also echoed: "The two regiments of the Chen faction and the two regiments of the eighth districts have been passively involved in the battle on the battlefield, which is enough to show that they are very resistant to the institutional plan within. Although no one in the Chen faction and the eighth districts have actively contacted us, this opportunity has already appeared."

"Old Gu is too anxious and wants to be a great man. He wants to carve his achievements on the tombstone before leaving." The Chief of Staff of the General General smiled and said, "This is indeed an opportunity for us."

"I can't understand it at all." A staff member said, "You said that Old Gu has worked hard for most of his life and worked hard to defeat the country, but in the end he has to give it to someone else. This... this mind is really incomprehensible. Although there is no possibility of hereditary rights in the current political system, this matter can be operated manually. Among the lower-level senior generals, a transitional puppet is selected to let him work for two terms, and then pass it to Gu Yan in another generation. Can't this guarantee the supreme power of Gu? Why do you have to push Lin Yaozong to power? This creates a contradiction."

When the Chief of Staff heard this, he waved his hand: "Gu Yan can't do it!"

"Why can't it work? Gu Taixian protects him. The eighth district government affairs officer is his father-in-law again. This kind of power can definitely bear supreme power."

"He is not enough compared to Qin Yu." The Chief of Staff said incisively: "Qin Yu's father-in-law is Lin Yaozong, and he owns the Sichuan Mansion. He also has a layout in the Ninth District. Zheng Kai is the father-in-law of the old cat in the Sichuan Mansion, and Li Zhan is the commander of the War Zone I. To put it bluntly, Zhou Zhengmin is just a governor who was pushed to the stage. In fact, his control in the Ninth District is not as good as that of the Sichuan Mansion."

"Yes." Zhou Xingli also commented objectively: "The passing of Gu Yan may cause greater turmoil. Old Gu is determined to unify, so he will naturally not do things that may cause greater division."

Everyone was silent for a while, and the major general advised again: "I also think I can take the initiative to attack. Contact the opposition inside the eighth district, and let the Federation plan to abort and drag it until Lao Gu dies. Everyone can share the territory equally, and even live in peace and develop together."

Zhou Xingli was a little moved and hesitant.

...

In the fourth district, Li Bokang learned that Zhou Xingli and others were having a meeting and discussing whether to take the initiative to attack, he immediately called Lao Zhou.

In the conference room, Lao Zhou took the call handed over by the guard and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"Commander, now is not the time to take action!" Li Bokang said seriously: "I will just say two points. First, it is certain that there is an opposition force in District 8, but it does not mean that they are willing to cooperate with us at the moment. It is possible that what they oppose is Lin Yaozong taking over the supreme power, but they do not oppose the system. After the struggle for power in the future, they will continue to attack us, because once political stance and political beliefs are formed, it is difficult to change. Second, if the other party does not have decisive changes, we should not take action! If the capital is not large, we cannot fight head-on. Let them fight by themselves first, or once we move in rashly, it is likely to become the outlet for the other party's pressure."

Zhou Xingli thought for a while and nodded slowly.

...

Two days later, the union, which had originally stopped, will be held again next Monday.
Chapter completed!
