After receiving the report from the Beijing garrison, the Military Commission immediately informed the Tianjin Executive Committee as soon as possible, which caused a strong shock from Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and others.

So far, the Time Travel Group is strictly a military government. Although some of the military-political separation has been achieved, three of the top five teams of the Executive Committee are active-duty soldiers, and now the Qingdao and Shandong areas controlled by the Time Travel Group are basically still under control. Of course, in the entire Time Travel Group, except for a very small number of people, most people have no objection to this situation, because the war has almost never stopped since the Time Travel Group landed on the 6th. Therefore, it is completely necessary to implement military governance at this time.

Moreover, since the establishment of the People's Army, it is generally satisfactory, which also made Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and others feel some optimism, believing that although the People's Army cannot be compared with the People's Liberation Army in the old time and space, it has already prepared a prototype of a strong army. After all, the People's Army has only been half a year since it was established, and it is very good to achieve such achievements. Some people joked that it seems that they really have some protagonist halo, and adding up an army is a strong army.

Of course, during this period, not no one has left the People's Army. The People's Army now implements a recruitment system. When every soldier joins the army, they will clearly tell them that they can leave the People's Army at any time. Of course, they must submit an application first according to normal procedures and review it by their superiors. After passing the review, they can officially retire. However, after the military is retired, there are no military benefits. So far, only 21 people in the army have applied to leave the People's Army. Compared with the total number of the People's Army, this is of course a very small number.

There are generally three types of people who join the People's Army. The first type is because of life. After joining the People's Army, not only can they receive fixed military pay, but also have considerable benefits. Those who live in the countryside can be assigned to the land and enjoy reduced or exempted land tax. When living in the city, they can arrange work for their families, etc. Even if the family members die in the battle, they can basically ensure their lives. This type of people account for the largest proportion of the People's Army; the second type is unemployed, whose families basically die in battle, or Those who were captured by the Eight-Nation Alliance. Although they were rescued by the People's Army, they were single, with no place, no land or property. They could only join the People's Army. They could not only make a living, but they might be able to make a future. If they were not good for a few years, they could also save some money to buy houses and build families and start a family. The number of such people was not large, but after the Battle of Shanhaiguan, a large number of residents outside the Pass who were looted by the Russian army joined the People's Army, so the number of people increased greatly; the third type was to have other goals, such as killing foreigners to take revenge, but this type of people was at least.

Overall, the first category is the most stable. Unless there is a special reason, they will not be discharged easily; the second category is also relatively stable, and under normal circumstances, they will not be discharged from the army; while the third category is less stable, and the third category is basically the third category of people who leave the People's Army. Such defection is indeed the first time they have been born.

At the same time, it also made Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and others wake up from the optimistic situation. There is no halo of the protagonist in this era, and it is absolutely not that easy to build a strong army.

However, since something happened, we must deal with it as soon as possible. It turned out that Qin Zheng would go out to Shanghai with the negotiating delegation to participate in the negotiations tomorrow, but he could only stay and negotiate the solution. At the same time, he recruited Xiao Jianjun from Dagukou back to Tianjin overnight.

At this time, Shanghai also reported and destroyed a intelligence agency base for the Crossing Group. According to the information currently available, this intelligence agency is very set up in Japan and has no information related to other countries at the moment. However, a plan to plan to destroy the Shanghai office by force and arrest the Crossing Group was found in the base. It also has house drawings and on-site survey materials for the Shanghai office. Therefore, the Executive Committee is requested to negotiate and decide as soon as possible and instruct the Shanghai office's next action strategy.

This was really a wave of failure and then another wave, which made the Executive Committee feel overwhelmed. Although in this era, Japan was just a second-rate country, time travelers still listed Japan with Britain, France and Russia as the first threat to the time travel group based on the experience and national sentiment of the old time and space; the level was above the United States and Germany, and as long as Japan was involved, they would never be underestimated. What's more, the Japanese's intelligence ability was famous for being powerful in the old time and space. Whether it was the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Russo-Japanese War that was born after birth, the Battle of Pearl Harbor, and the achievements of the Japanese on the intelligence front were so amazing.

In fact, these rumors are all exaggerated. The intelligence myth capabilities of the Japanese are basically based on the fact that Chinese society was scattered in the old time and space and was unable to organize a unified and effective counterintelligence front. The main battlefield of the Russo-Japanese War was carried out on China's territory. Therefore, Japanese people who have similar appearances and cultures to the Chinese naturally took a lot of convenience in intelligence collection; while sneak attacks on Pearl Lane were mainly careless by the United States. Even in the old time and space, the intelligence myths of the Japanese were not easy to take advantage of in the hands of the predecessors who had strong control over the grassroots level; and after the United States strengthened its intelligence alert, Japan's intelligence collection was also greatly reduced.

Moreover, in this era, the Time Travel Group had extremely strong control in Tianjin, so it had captured a large number of inter-country plots in Tianjin, of which Japan occupied most of the schemes, leaving Japan almost helpless. But Shanghai is not Tianjin, and the Time Travel Group's control ability in Shanghai is extremely limited, so it must not be taken lightly against Japanese spies. Although it has just destroyed a Japanese intelligence base, whoever can guarantee that Japan has only this intelligence base.

The plan to destroy the Shanghai office by force by Japan has put strong pressure on the Executive Committee, because this time the delegation has many members, not only negotiators, but also a large number of performers. If the Japanese really launch a surprise attack on the delegation, the losses caused to the Time Travel Group will not be a little bit. But now the delegation has already left Tianjin and has launched propaganda operations in Shanghai, which is also an important means to counterattack this public opinion storm. If the Time Travel Group is stopped, it will also be a heavy blow.

Of course, it is puzzling what Japan's motivation for doing this, because Japan's main enemy is Russia rather than a time travel group. So the two sides once had plans to join forces to fight against Russia, so destroying the Shanghai office and destroying the Shanghai negotiations were not good for Japan. However, the Japanese's thinking cannot be judged by normal logic, and the Japanese have always been alone and have a tradition of being inferior to the superior. Lower officers often act with actions that they think are beneficial to the country. However, it is difficult to say whether these actions are really beneficial to Japan.

However, since things have been born, we have to find a way to solve them, so we can simply discuss these two things together.

After a day of discussion by the Executive Committee, the preliminary handling of the People's Army's defection incident was determined: a defection investigation team was immediately established, with Zhu Yaping, the commander of the 6th Army, personally rushed to Beijing to investigate the defection incident; the investigation team has the right to inquire and investigate the Beijing garrison and administrative personnel, and all personnel should cooperate fully; Zhang Zhengjie's position as the commander of the Beijing garrison, and Zhu Yaping temporarily served as the commander; there were three regiments, an armored company and three helicopters accompanying to prevent large-scale mutiny in Beijing.

Of course, the Executive Committee has also set several principles for this investigation. First, the investigation is limited to those related to Li Zhuangyong's defection incident. The scope of the investigation shall not be expanded at will, and the thoughts and emotions of soldiers who have nothing to do with this incident shall not be shaken, and the morale of the entire army shall not be shaken, which may lead to mutiny incidents. Second, even if the persons related to Li Zhuangyong's defection incident are determined by the Military Commission, the final external punishment shall be decided by the Military Commission. After investigation, soldiers who have been confirmed to be unrelated to the defection incident shall also strive to appease their emotions. Third, during the investigation, severe torture and confession are prohibited, and the scope of the crackdown cannot be made into an anti-counterfeiting operation. The final characterization and handling of the defection incident shall be held to hold a meeting to discuss and decide after the investigation report is released.

Overall, other executive committee members did not have much disagreement on handling defections. This is mainly because the defection incident was born in the army, so naturally it should be handled by the military. Moreover, the three giants of the military are all on the spot. Therefore, no matter how powerful the defection incident is, others have no say, and they basically agree with the handling plan determined by the three giants.

As for the incident of the Japanese intelligence base in Shanghai, everyone was obviously much more interested in the incident, and they expressed their opinions and soon divided them into two factions. One faction had a radical view and advocated the immediate suspension of Shanghai negotiations, demanding that the negotiation location be held in Tianjin, and that it would not hesitate to send force to threaten countries to accept this condition. If countries refuse to come to Tianjin for negotiation, they should conquer Shanghai by force; while the other faction was more moderate, believing that Shanghai negotiations, including the performance group, are imperative, but countries should also be required to make clear commitments to the time travel group to ensure the safety of delegation members.

The two sides have a relatively close viewpoint and are in a row, but several permanent executive members still maintain a clear mind. Negotiating with various countries is the most beneficial for the Time Travel Group. Moreover, the Time Travel Group does not have enough strength to conquer Shanghai. It is not that the military strength is not enough, but that the overall strength is insufficient. It is not difficult to conquer Shanghai, but it is not easy to manage Shanghai well.
