Chapter 215: The beginning of chaos, the Security Army Headquarters Meeting
"Let Fu Yuansheng come to see me immediately!"
After sending Yang Jiakai to the operating room, Duan Jinshu, who was always gentle and seemed even-tempered, revealed a rare daunting coldness in his eyes.
Ten minutes later, Fu Yuansheng, commander of the Central Guard Division, walked into Duan Jinshu's office wearing a neat military uniform.
Strictly speaking, the Central Guard Division and the Central Guard Army belong to two different military systems.
The so-called Central Guard Division is mainly responsible for the safety of senior leaders of the Northern Xinjiang government, as well as the defense of the area near the central government, which is jokingly called the Northern Xinjiang Imperial City.
The other urban areas of Beilong City, including other important cities in Longzhou, are mainly under the charge of the Central Guard Army.
"President Yang was assassinated. There is a shadow of the Fuso people involved. What we can confirm now is that Zhu Haidong of the Central Guard Army has colluded with the Fuso people. Together with the pro-Fuso faction headed by Zhili Governor Zhang Chengxiang, they intend to launch a mutiny and overthrow our Northern Frontier government."
Fu Yuansheng's heart trembled. No wonder Duan Jinshu had personally ordered him in the name of the central government more than an hour ago to mobilize the entire Central Guard Division to carry out strict defense in the area near the government affairs center building.
It turns out that the situation in Beilong City has become so tense.
"Next, seal off the surrounding areas tightly. If any troops dare to enter your garrison area, do not hesitate and open fire! This is a drastic change that the Northern Frontier government must face. If we can get through it, we will be reborn in Nirvana!"
"Please rest assured, Prime Minister! I, Fu Yuansheng, am absolutely loyal to the central government and the president! Anyone who dares to harm the central government and the president is an enemy of my Central Guard Division!"
Duan Jinshu nodded, talked with Fu Yuansheng, arranged the garrison matters, and after Fu Yuansheng left, Duan Jinshu made another call.
"Have Kang Ruming gather all the combat troops of the Shadow Dragon Army immediately and be ready for battle at any time!"
The person on the other end of the phone responded crisply: "Yes, I will notify General Kang immediately!"
Duan Jinshu also hung up the phone directly and started a series of arrangements.
At the same time, the Northern Frontier Intelligence Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency began to contact generals at all levels of the Central Guard Army.
Among the entire Central Garrison Army of 100,000 troops, there are many who are Yang Jiakai's die-hard followers, just like Xia Zhenhua. Although Zhu Haidong is Xia Zhenhua's right-hand man and has great prestige in the Central Garrison Army, he is currently unable to control the entire Central Garrison Army.
The only forces Zhu Haidong could use at will were his direct troops, the 11th Army of the Central Guard Army and the th Army of the Central Guard Army, a total of more than combat troops.
At this time in the Central Guard Army Headquarters, Zhu Haidong immediately gathered senior generals from all the troops and held a meeting in the headquarters' operations command room.
The Central Intelligence Agency called the headquarters of the 13th Army of the Central Guard Army. The person who answered the call was Lu Changzheng, the deputy commander of the 13th Army.
"I am Lu Changzheng, deputy commander of the 13th Army!"
"Hello, Army Commander. I am Yu Xiaoli, Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Please let Army Commander Lan Jingzhou answer the phone. We need to convey a secret order from the central government."
"General Lan and Chief of Staff Wang were summoned by Deputy Commander Zhu Haidong 20 minutes ago and rushed to the Garrison Command to attend an emergency meeting. You can convey the order to me directly, and I will personally pass it on when General Lan returns."
Yu Xiaoli on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, then he said in a serious voice: "Tonight, the president was assassinated on his way to the Central Guard Command Hospital to visit Commander Xia Zhenhua. According to our investigation, a huge change has occurred in the Central Guard Command. Zhu Haidong is suspected of colluding with Fuso and intending to assassinate the president. Immediately notify Commander Lan, return to the 13th Army Headquarters immediately, and prepare for war! If they go to the headquarters, they are likely to be in danger!"
Lu Changzheng was shocked by this sudden news. The news of the assassination of Commander-in-Chief Xia Zhenhua had spread throughout the Central Guard Army. However, no one expected that the instigator of all this was Xia Zhenhua's right-hand man Zhu Haidong. Zhu Haidong's purpose was to assassinate Yang Jiakai and change the entire Northern Xinjiang government.
"It's too late. Commander Lan should have arrived at the Security Command by now. Our Thirteenth Army will be ready to go to war at any time. If Zhu Haidong is suspected of betraying the Northern Xinjiang government and launching a mutiny, our Thirteenth Army will definitely stand firmly on the side of the President and strike against the rebels led by Zhu Haidong."
"Director Yu, may I ask, what is President Yang's current condition?"
Yu Xiaoli gave Lu Changzheng a reassurance without hesitation.
"The president is currently in stable condition and has not suffered serious injuries in the assassination attempt. The Army Chief can rest assured."
After a while, Lu Changzheng hung up the phone with a frown. In less than a day, such a big change happened in the Northern Xinjiang government. Once Yang Jiakai falls, it will be a heavy blow to the presidential system. But if Yang Jiakai is safe and sound, Lu Changzheng believes that this pillar of the Northern Xinjiang government will remain standing no matter how turbulent the waves are.
Yang Jiakai, who has been in office for more than ten years and has always been in charge of the entire Northern Xinjiang government, has unparalleled weight and prestige in the hearts of these elderly people in Northern Xinjiang.
"Find a way to contact the army commander and the General Staff, and warn them that they may be in danger at the headquarters meeting. Notify the lower-level troops and prepare for a full-scale war. If Zhu Haidong attempts to harm the central government, we must immediately raise our weapons to defend the safety of the central government and the president!"
After thinking for less than half a quarter of an hour, Lu Changzheng made his own decision. The entire 13th Army can be said to be one of Commander Xia Zhenhua's direct troops, and has long been branded with the presidential faction. If something big happened to Yang Jiakai, Zhang Chengxiang's faction would have an absolute advantage, and perhaps some people would have disloyalty. But Yang Jiakai is safe and sound now, so Lu Changhong would naturally choose to stand on the side of the presidential faction without hesitation.
In the meeting room of the Central Guard Army Headquarters, Zhu Haidong slowly spoke as he looked at the senior commanders of the Central Guard Army present: "I called you all here today because I have something important to inform you of."
Everyone turned their eyes to Zhu Haidong, who had a serious expression on his face.
"In the nearly 20 years since the establishment of the Northern Xinjiang government, the presidential faction headed by Yang Jiakai has been stubborn and self-willed, appointing people based on personal connections, and despite the dissuasion of other leaders of the Northern Xinjiang government, it has promoted Su Zhengyang to become a member of Congress, causing tension between us and Fuso."
"Now, Councillor Zhang Chengxiang has raised an army of 200,000 from the three provinces of Zhili and is heading straight for Longzhou. He is determined to take down Yang Jiakai and other high-ranking officials of the presidential faction who are unworthy of their positions, so that our Northern Xinjiang government can change the world and usher in a better future. I have already made my position clear. I will stand on Councillor Zhang's side and support him to become the new president of the Northern Xinjiang government. I called you here today just to get a clear attitude from you."
