Chen Zhongren sat in the dim hall, looking at his son with his eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of fatigue and a hero's old age.

Since the civil war has come to this point, the Chen faction has actually been in a state of division. First, Chen Jun is independent, then Jiujiang City is broken, and people are in a state of turmoil. If you choose to continue fighting, the Chen faction needs to place the fate of the entire family on Zhou faction, who was once an opponent, and once the battle is defeated, the ending will be obvious.

But if he didn't fight, Chen Zhongren felt a little unwilling. He had been wise and glorious for half his life. He had to step down as a war criminal until now. It was a failure to protect his integrity in his later years, and this was also fatal to him. Ordinary people may be able to fight for food and clothing for a day, but for those who are at the forefront of history, sometimes they fight for one breath.

The feeling of fatigue spread throughout his body. Chen Zhongren looked at his son and said after a long silence: "You stay in Nanhu. Let me think about what you said carefully."

These words are full of temptation. Chen Jun has become independent. How could he stay in Nanshanghai with six guard soldiers? What should he do if the troops do?

Chen Jun looked at his father and replied bluntly: "When I came, I told the generals below that if I didn't go back, the troops would go directly to Jiujiang and obey the command of the coalition forces."

Chen Zhongren was stunned for a while and suddenly laughed: "Okay, you are determined to take the position of the coalition forces."

"Dad, I'm on the Chen family's standpoint." Chen Jun said firmly: "This has never changed."

Chen Zhongren closed his eyes: "You go, let me think about it again."

Chen Jun slowly stood up: "Dad, put aside the self-interest, morally speaking, your attitude also directly concerns the tens of millions of people in Nanhucheng... whether they will suffer from the war. You are the leader, not for the small family, but for everyone!"

Chen Zhongren did not reply.

"I'll wait for your news." After saying that, Chen Jun turned around and left.

Chen Zhongren sat in the dimly lit room, and after a long time of daze, he said, "... Go back to the headquarters."

...

About an hour later.

As soon as Chen Zhongren returned to the headquarters building, the guard officer came to report, claiming that Chen Zhongqi and several generals were requesting to receive him.

After Chen Zhongren rinsed his face in the bathroom, he saw everyone in the lounge.

When both sides sat down, Chen Zhongqi inserted his hands and asked his elder brother bluntly: "Commander, is Xiaojun back?"

Chen Zhongren looked at him and asked back: "How do you know?"

"Assassination occurred near the port, and military personnel reported to me that this may be implicated with Xiaojun." Chen Zhongqi replied calmly: "I think he must see you if he wants to enter the city."

"Well, I've seen him, he's gone for a long time." Chen Zhongren nodded and admitted.

After saying that, before Chen Zhongqi could speak, the two generals next to him immediately persuaded: "Commander-in-Chief, you can't believe Chen Jun's slander! He has been completely brainwashed by Qin Yu, and he has no longer cared about the life or death of our Chen clan... He just wants to make achievements."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the stronger your will should be." Another person also persuaded: "All guys have already suppressed their own lives to this day, and the ending of Gu Taixian and others in Tongmenghui... is enough to warn us."

Chen Zhongren looked at everyone with a blank expression: "Then tell me, continue to fight, how can the Chen faction ensure that the coalition forces do not attack Nanhu?"

"I have contacted the Zhou army and discussed with them the future deployment of our two families on the southern battlefield." Chen Zhongqi immediately responded: "We all believe that if Nanhu and Luhuai want to be stable, they must first solve Xiaojun's rebels... Only when the internal situation is clean can everyone concentrate their efforts to fight against the coalition."

"Then how can we solve this group of rebels?" Chen Zhongren asked again.

"The main force in Nanhu City will be dispatched, and then the withdrawn troops from Jiujiang will be blocked on the periphery." Chen Zhongqi replied smoothly: "...If necessary, our naval warships and Zhou-type naval warships can all provide firepower support to our combat troops near the inner port. Although Chen Jun has a lot of people, it is difficult to fight against the navy and the army's encirclement... In addition... Although the generals under Chen Jun are all new officers, they are all talents from our Chen team... I personally have confidence that when Chen Jun is at a disadvantage, they can instigate some people and troops to come over."

"Where are you finished?" Chen Zhongren asked looking at his younger brother.

"After the battle, we can give up some defense areas on the north side of South and Shanghai and hand them over to the Zhou army to garrison." Chen Zhongqi said lightly.

When Chen Zhongren heard this, his face was expressionless, but he already understood a lot of things in his heart, that is, Chen Zhongqi's anti-alliance attitude was very firm.

"Commander, now, you can't hesitate. You must first settle the country when fighting against foreign countries!" Chen Zhongqi also persuaded: "If you don't solve the rebels under Chen Jun, Nanhu will always be in danger of being broken."

After thinking for a long time, Chen Zhongren slowly stood up and said, "You should immediately transfer Chen Zihui, He Donglai, Chen Feng and others from the advance corps to Nanshanghai for a meeting. We will urgently discuss the issue of Chen Jun's corps. If you want to fight, you must be quick. You must resolve the battle while Qin Yu has not sent troops from Jiujiang."

Everyone saw that Chen Zhongren had made a decision and smiled on their faces.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

After the conversation ended, Chen Zhongqi took people away, but after leaving the headquarters building, there was no smile on his face.

"Go back, have a video conference and notify the Navy's Staff Wang to come over. I have something to tell him." Chen Zhongqi ordered.

...

In Jiujiang City, within the coalition combat command.

Ma Lao Er was eating mutton hotpot and sweating said to Qin Yu: "Xu Hancheng has run back to Luhuai. He was so angry that he rushed into the ICU, sucked two kilograms of oxygen, and scolded Chen Zhongqi for being a cerebral palsy-style commander, without decision and courage."

"Do you know this?" Lin Cheng was a little surprised.

"... The second brother is now in three major regions of military intelligence. Even if he just wants to know what color Xu Seoul's wife wears, it is probably not difficult." Li Zhan commented vulgarly.

"You are so vulgar, Commander Li!" Ma Laoer replied speechlessly: "Don't deify me, otherwise one day the task that Commander Qin ordered me was not completed, then I will not be able to get out of Taiwan."

The one-armed commander Qin Yu, while eating mutton, said lightly: "Hey, since you are so awesome, then hurry up and check if Zhou Xingli is the biggest informant here."

"Ha ha!"

Everyone laughed loudly when they heard the sound.
