Chapter 928 Mid-Autumn Festival Appreciation of the Moon
Time flies and it’s September.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, on the night of the full moon, both sides of the Dragon River in Dragon City were bustling with activity. Many small merchants and vendors had set up stalls, selling festive products such as lanterns and mooncakes.
At around 7:30 p.m., a small area in the middle section of the Long River was under martial law. A large number of police officers and garrison soldiers appeared, and public boats and people were not allowed to approach.
On the bank of the river decorated with lights, a medium-sized cruise ship started, pushing through the water and moving slowly.
On the central deck of the ship, three people were sitting at the moment, namely Lao Li, Tan Hengqiang, and An Zecheng, who had just returned from Washington.
There were many guards standing next to the stair guardrail, and Tan Mingchao, Su Tianyu, and Yu Mingyuan were also present, but they did not move forward or serve at the table.
Next to the guardrail.
Su Tianyu smoked a cigarette and stared at the water.
"Do you have any cigarettes?" Tan Mingchao walked over in military uniform and said casually.
Su Tianyu glanced at him and reached out to hand over the cigarette.
Tan Ming stood facing the river, lowered his head and lit a cigarette and said: "This political field is really a magical place! I never imagined that we could stand on a boat."
"Haha." Su Tianyu smiled: "Isn't this good? Everyone is relaxed."
Tan Mingchao turned to look at him and asked softly: "They say this triangle is the most stable. Hey, do you think this three-point world of Dragon City will continue to be stable?"
"Yes." Su Tianyu replied nonchalantly: "We are interdependent!"
Tan Mingchao nodded, put his cigarette case on the guardrail and replied: "Yes, interdependence!"
…
On the dining table on the cruise ship.
Tan Hengqiang took the initiative to raise his glass and greeted softly: "Come on, Brother Li, Brother An, let's drink to the stability of Longcheng."
The two raised their glasses, bumped it with Tan Hengqiang, and took a sip.
"Eat food, eat food!" Anzecheng put down his cup and greeted.
Liming Sheng didn't speak much since he sat down, letting An Zecheng and Tan Hengqiang set the pace, while he kept eating the seafood, which seemed to taste pretty good.
Tan Hengqiang looked at Lao Li and asked with a chuckle: "Brother Li! You are in administration, with unique vision and rich experience. In your opinion, what is the future direction of Dragon City?"
"Haha." Liming Sheng used the pliers to crush the crab legs and replied with a chuckle: "Commander Tan, I am in a position of walking on thin ice. To be honest with you, I don't even understand my own future. How can I care about anything?
Dragon City? Well, if we can land safely, this is the most ideal result."
Anze City sandwiched green vegetables: "Lao Li, what you said is not honest. The administrative department cannot do without you, and no one can do it without you, just like the garrison cannot live without Commander Tan. This kind of dominance and
Balance is given by time and opportunity, and it will be difficult to copy in the future."
"Haha." Lao Li smiled and asked softly: "Commander Tan, you are the military commander of Dragon City. Every plant and tree here relies on you and your troops to protect you. In your opinion, Dragon City
At what angle does our future lie?”
Tan Hengqiang picked up the cigarette case and lit one. He thought about it for a long time and said: "You, me, Lao An, the three families have a balance and a tacit understanding. This can keep Longcheng quiet for at least twenty years. I think that serving as an official for one term can improve your political career."
At the end of the period, if you protect a piece of land and rise in twenty years, you can be considered worthy of your own black hat."
Liming Sheng looked at him: "If you don't say what you say, how can you talk about rising up? Even if you and I can live for twenty years, we can deal with them, but in the end, the result is nothing more than a cup of loess and grass growing on the grave.
Twenty years later, when we are out of class, the balance is broken, and the tacit understanding is no longer there, Dragon City will still be the same as before. If things go wrong, and the higher-ups exaggerate, you and I may still be the sinners of history, warlords who cling to power.
, are political speculators. Their graves have to be smeared with feces.”
"Haha, then tell me, where is the future?" Tan Hengqiang asked.
"True autonomy." Liming Sheng said bluntly: "The result of the War of Independence was the pain of death. Many people did pay their lives for it, but facts have proved that resistance will be effective, and many states have achieved independence. And we
It’s different. Our start was more difficult. We didn’t have a century-old integration process. Zhou Xingli deceived millions of people and came by boat for his own selfish interests. This made the upper class guard against us and discriminate against us internally. Therefore, we need to talk about rising
, must have its own sovereignty. How many times has our hometown been liberated? Are we still here to bring more than 10 million people to work as laborers and productive forces within the wall? If we do this, let alone be worthy of the black hat."
"Haha, what you said is too radical." Tan Hengqiang said with a slight frown: "50,000 to 60,000 guns, and you still rely on others to support them? How can you talk about rights? When the war started, there were corpses under the cannons. That's it.
Is it worthy of more than 10 million people?"
Lao Li looked at him; "We didn't fight in the War of Independence. The higher-ups gave orders and you didn't go to the battlefield. Were all the corpses under the cannons?!"
"That's different...!"
"Haha, Commander Tan, Lao Li has a radical leadership style." Anzecheng immediately interjected: "I think it would be good to just drink, chat, and look at the moonlight by the river today. Let's not talk about it.
It’s too deep and meaningless.”
Lao Li glanced at An Zecheng and joked frankly: "You are really good at mixing mud! Lao An!"
"I can't help it. One of you is the administrative chief and the other is the military chief. I can sit in this position because you two have given me face." An Zecheng said with a chuckle: "Let's stop talking and drink!"
At this point, the three of them stopped continuing the topic and just drank wine and chatted for a while.
But during this period, Lao Li didn't notice that Anzecheng frowned when Tan Hengqiang spoke just now.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, the moon-viewing activity ended.
The three bosses took their respective troops and dispersed.
The third day, morning.
The garrison headquarters announced that they would conduct a three-month military exercise with the Anze City Army.
About six hours later, the Longcheng Terrorist Team announced that they would also join the garrison's exercises. The reason was that there were frequent wars along the Lao-Mexico border, and Longcheng wanted to conduct military and police exercises to improve the combat quality of the armed forces.
Another week has passed.
Lao Li's meal with Tan Hengqiang came as a bonus. His superiors officially agreed to expand the violent terrorism squad, adding four more brigades, adding 5,000 people, and also upgraded the department to a state-level unit.
Why would the higher-ups do this?
Differentiation!
Tan Hengqiang, Liming Sheng, and Anze City have almost complete control over everything in Dragon City, and the upper management is a little restless!
If the three companies really join forces to do something, the result will be irreversible.
Therefore, giving Lao Li a sweetheart and openly admitting that he was engaged in armed warfare in private may break the balance of the three-part world.
In October, Deputy Commander Xu officially resigned, and Tan Hengqiang announced that he would run for deputy commander-in-chief.
In this way, the triangle of Dragon City was temporarily formed, and the one who took charge of the overall situation and took the initiative to promote this situation was Anze City.
If he had stood with Lao Li when he first arrived, there would definitely not be the situation today.
Tan Hengqiang will definitely cling to the upper levels and do his best to stop the military and political threat from Lao Li and Anzecheng...
In that case, the war would have already happened.
