Chapter 616: Chapter 616 Plans
Chu Yunsheng began to act immediately. Since the communication was temporarily interrupted in the dark. He personally went to find Fang Baixiao. He wanted the military to send all text and language experts in Nanjing and even the entire East China to Shanghai, and this was compulsory.
Compared with the plan of gathering the awakened people he gave to Yu Xiaohai, the deciphering task was much more important. Although no one believed the words Master Yi Jing said, there was something in the old man’s word that made him very anxious. It was just like there was a sharp sword hanging above his head that could fall down at any time and kill him.
In Chu Yunsheng’s life, if he ever felt that something good was about to happen, it would never come true. However, if he ever felt that something bad was about to happen, it would definitely happen.
Fang Baixiao has arranged with an off-road military vehicle and driver to stay outside the hotel all the time, to make it convenient for Chu Yunsheng to contact himself, and now it finally came in handy.
After arriving at the military headquarters, Fang Baixiao was in a meeting with Fang Yuehou, the secretary did not dare to go in to disturb them, so Chu Yunsheng had to sit in the meeting room outside the office and wait for them to finish the meeting.
While waiting, Chu Yunsheng saw an unexpected person. It was Yang Wanli, Du Qishan’s division commander.
Yang Wanli was not Fang Yuehou’s man. In the Dark Age, they even had conflicts. He remembered clearly that when Lin Shuiyao was taken away by Fang Yusen in Jin Ling city, Yang Wanli even sent his troops to help him to get Lin Shuiyao back.
However, although he had helped him, he also didn’t like Yang Wanli, mainly because of the troubles that Du Qishan gave him in the past.
Looking at Yang Wanli coming in a hurry, Chu YunSheng guessed that he probably had something important needed to report to Fang Yuehou. After all, although he was not his man, he was still his subordinate.
“Mr. Chu?” Yang Wanli had seen Chu Yunsheng at the banquet, so he took the initiative to greet him.
Chu Yunsheng also stood up and said politely, “h.e.l.lo, Commander Yang.”
“You know me?” Yang Wanli seemed to be surprised. At the banquet, Fang Baixiao didn’t seem to have a chance to introduce other senior military officers to Chu YunSheng.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to stay in this question too long, so he simply said, “I have heard of Commander Yang’s name a long time ago. So you don’t need to be surprised. I have also heard that your division will be moving to Shanghai tonight?”
The transfer of the troops above the division level was a military secret. Normally, Yang Wanli would not tell Chu Yunsheng anything about it, or at least he would change the subject euphemistically, but Chu Yunsheng’s situation was very special. And based on the current situation, there seemed to be no need to keep it as a secret from Chu YunSheng, so he simply said, “Yes, at six o’clock tonight, does Mr. Chu want to go back to Shanghai with us?”
“No, thank you.” Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said. He approached Yang Wanli, and thought for a second before he said, “I want to borrow a man and a regiment from Commander Yang, I don’t know if it is okay with you?”
Yang Wanli looked at Chu Yunsheng strangely, as if he was trying to say, ‘if you want soldiers, you can ask Fang Baixiao. He has elite troops. Why do you need a troop from me?’
Of course, he could only think about it in his heart, and not dare to say it out. “Mr. Chu, you may not know, but the division has no right to approve any transfer above the regimental level that does not meet the requirements of military tasks,” he said euphemistically.
“I know this.” Chu Yunsheng nodded and said, “I will get permission from the Deputy Commander-in-chief Fang. So as long as you agree, I don’t think there would be a problem.”
Yang Wanli frowned slightly. In fact, he had actually politely refused him. Besides, Chu Yunsheng and he only met each other once, why would he give him one of his regiments? To put it politely, Chu Yunsheng took a fancy to his regiment. But to put it less politely, he wanted to reduce his power. His division was an armored division. In addition to the artillery regiment and the anti-aircraft regiment, there were only three armored regiments in his division. They had just been transferred from Xuzhou city to Nanjing city. But now, they were going to Shanghai again, so in the current situation, no one wanted to give out their power to other people.
Chu Yunsheng understood his hesitation and unwillingness, so he just gave an empty promise, “commander Yang, I have said more than once in public, the weapon in the future will definitely be different, just like the weapon you escorted to Shanghai. After the Shanghai Security Zone is established, I will manufacture this kind of weapon in large quant.i.ties. At that time, I can promise you to give your division equipment first, and the reason why I want to borrow a regiment of yours is to ask them to send a group of people to Shanghai. After arriving in Shanghai, they will still report back to you, I only borrowed it for a short time. ”
Yang Wanli was not a fool, but he also did not think that Chu Yunsheng was lying. Moreover, anyone, who had seen him at the banquet that day, would be interested in his magical equipment, especially soldiers.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng seemed to be determined to ask for a regiment from him. Yang Wanli, could not help but sigh. After all, based on the current situation, he also did not want to offend Chu Yunsheng, who had an important role in the defense of Shanghai. “who do you want?”
Chu Yunsheng immediately said, “Regiment commander Du, Du Qishan, and his armored regiment.”
Indeed, Chu Yunsheng didn’t like Du Qishan, but it didn’t mean that he would not admire his ability. Among the troops he was familiar with, Du Qishan was the only one who would use various methods to finish missions in extremely unfavorable circ.u.mstances. He could even sacrifice himself for the mission that was given to him. So if he took the task of sending the text and language experts to Shanghai, Chu Yunsheng would not worry that much.
Now there were still twenty days before the insects arrived, so there shouldn’t be any dangers. Du Qishan should be able to cope with it without any problem. Even if there was any danger, Chu Yunsheng believed that he would still be able to finish the mission.
Yang Wanli quickly shook his head and said helplessly, “Mr. Chu, you are a really special man. You are asking for my best regiment commander. Fine. Just for your sincerity, I promise you that as long as the military area command agrees, I will not have a problem with it!”
“Thank you!” Chu Yunsheng said quickly, fearing that he would change his mind.
At this time, the secretary of Fang Yuehou politely knocked on the door and said, “Commander Yang, Mr. Chu, deputy commander-in-chief Fang is available now. May I ask, who would like to see him first?”
Chu Yunsheng quickly said “commander Yang probably has an urgent military report, so he can go in first. I just need to speak to division commander Fang.”
The secretary thanked Chu Yunsheng for helping him solve this difficult situation. He really didn’t know which one he should let in first. Although Chu Yunshen was not a soldier, his status was very special at the moment, so it was very hard for him to make a choice.
Fang Baixiao, who came out of the office, was surprised to see Chu Yunsheng. After taking a quick glance at Yang Wanli, who went into the office, he sat down and pa.s.sed Chu Yunsheng a cigarette, “you need something?”
“Is the evacuation plan ready?” to save time, Chu Yunsheng said directly, “there are a group of people you must protect first, and then arrange someone to send them to Shanghai.”
“Who?” Fang Baixiao did not answer Chu Yunsheng’s first question, he simply asked.
“I still don’t have a detailed list, but I have arranged someone from Shanghai to check it. When the final list comes out, I will have to trouble your soldiers to ‘invite’ them one by one. Nanjing will definitely be very chaotic in these two days, so without soldiers, it can’t be done smoothly. Although your division is also familiar with Nanjing the most. There are people from other provinces as well, so we may need a large number of armed helicopters to pick up those people.” Chu Yunsheng said.
Fang Bai Xiao thought for a moment and said, “the military area command and the provincial governments have already discussed and made a ‘talent plan’ through a video conference this morning. Will it conflict with your plan? This is the first problem. Secondly, the military area command will evacuate people on a large scale to Shanghai, and will also send troops to gather and transport grains and energy from many places. Moreover, they also need people to transport equipment in a.r.s.enals, etc. So I am afraid that the military may not have enough manpower. Thirdly, the people in Shanghai are mainly responsible for all subsequential arrangements after all kinds of resources arrived in Shanghai, and we have no control over their people. If we keep sending people from other cities to Shanghai without letting them know, they will probably refuse to let them into the city.”
Chu Yunsheng did not expect that once the military started to work with the local government, there would be so many rules. He knew that the retreat would be difficult but he did not expect that it would be this complicated. If they really followed this plan, they might not even be able to evacuate completely before the insects arrived.
However, that was not his business, he simply said, “the people I need are text and language experts. The military area command and the government will definitely not consider them as the first priority, so please do your best to get me some men. In terms of the problem in Shanghai, as long as you gather them there, I will figure it out.”
Fang Baixiao thought it over again and said, “I will do my best, so who are you going to a.s.sign this to?”
Chu Yunsheng didn’t plan to hide it from him. After all, this also needed to be approved by Fang Yuehou. So he said, “one of Yang Wanli’s regiments. They are going to Shanghai tonight. So once they sent people over to Shanghai, there shouldn’t be any problem. Moreover, don’t you think that having an additional armored division will be a good thing?”
Fang Baixiao had probably already guessed it. But after Chu Yunsheng said it, he laughed and said, “their loyalty is not something you can get easily, it is not that simple. Anyway, I know what I should do later, once you get the final list, let my secretary know.”
Since Fang Baixiao agreed, Chu Yunsheng also finished his business here, so he got up and prepared to leave. But when he just walked to the door, he turned and suggested, “If there are too many civilians, the military area command may consider expanding the military to reduce the pressure on civilians. You don’t know how many people will die.”
There was more than just one meaning in his suggestion. One of them was that once the military was expanded, he would have more power.
Fang Baixiao nodded and said, “to respond to the call of the Central Military Commission, the expansion plan has already begun half a year ago.”
Only until this moment, did Chu Yunsheng finally remembered that there was indeed this kind of announcement in the TV news before.
Since other people had already “expected” it, he also didn’t want to show off unremarkable intelligence. Regarding this kind of macro strategic arrangement, he would not be able to provide any useful advice, all he could do was to remind them that the danger was coming.
After leaving the military compound, he did not go back to the hotel. He let the driver go back himself and then drove the military vehicle all the way out of the city, heading towards the border between Jiangsu province and Anhui province.
There was a small unknown grain depot there. After being reminded by Fang Baixiao that the military was transferring grains, he also remembered this place.
Although he now had many people gathering food for him, he felt much safer to have some backup food for himself. Moreover, there was also a very important person there, an earth elemental awakener, Lu Guolong.
