Chapter 631 Chen Huan’s Decision

Chongqing, the lobby of the Commander's Office of the Governor's Office.

Chen Huan paced back and forth, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more irritable. The telegram lines between Chongqing and Luzhou were cut off. Now, except for some rumors in Chengdu, there was nothing else. Of course, this was not the only thing he was worried about. Since He Zonglian set up a headquarters in the Governor's Office, the overall situation in Chongqing has shifted from the main hall to the villa day by day. The three old gentry who flattered themselves in the past have all flattered He Zonglian.

A feeling of precariousness arises naturally.

He Zonglian took both subsequent regiments of the Sixth Division of the Central Committee for himself. If it weren't for the hindrance of Chen Huan's relationship with the president, he wouldn't have let Chen Huan's guard and logistics regiment go. He is now the person with the most soldiers in Chongqing, and he is the only one who can guarantee Chongqing's safety and bring even a little hope to save the tide of Sichuan.

Chen Huan rarely even approached the villa during this period. On the one hand, he couldn't let go of his face. On the other hand, He Zonglian always used the title of the First Division to make excuses himself. Every time he went to the villa, he was treated coldly. He originally had some retreat ways to rely on, and his relationship with the president was quite shallow, so he was naturally more trustworthy than He Zonglian. However, when Kawanet defeated the battle, what face would he have to ask the president?

"Wang Zhanyuan has been dragging him down, He Zonglian has been cheating, I am in danger today!"

After walking a few laps, he got stuck in his heart and couldn't help complaining.

If it were normal, the subordinates of the commander's office would have come up to persuade him, but now there is no member of the commander except the orderly soldiers in the communications office. Everyone has been recruited to work in the other court to serve the public.

Suddenly, a thick gunshot came from afar, followed by chaos.

Chen Huan stopped and looked out the gate, his face was not very nervous. Guangdong planes came to Chongqing almost every day to fire a few shots. The air strike the afternoon before yesterday even smashed the back garden of the Governor's Mansion.

"This situation...ah!" He sighed helplessly.

At this moment, an orderly soldier hurriedly ran out of the communication room next door and came to Chen Huan in panic.

"Sir, something happened! Liu Cunhou surrendered to the south!" The orderly soldier handed the telegram to Chen Huan.

"What? When did this happen?" Chen Huan asked quickly. No one can tell the issue of the telegram line now. The date of the telegram is even more confusing, and this is the key to the entire battle situation.

"March 29th." The orderly man replied.

"March 29th? Today is April 5th. It's over. It's over. Chengdu is over!" Chen Huan staggered to a chair and sat down depressedly. The situation in Chengdu had already settled, and it was a matter of time before the defense line was broken. Liu Cunhou's turnaround was a powerful catalyst, and Chengdu could not even defend for a day.

"Sir, what should we do now?" the orderly soldier asked with a frown.

"What else can I do? Chongqing is unable to protect itself, Luzhou is surrounded, and Sichuan is over! Go and give the telegram to He Zonglian and let him find a way to go!" Chen Huan waved his hand weakly and sighed.

Before the orderly soldier could go out, a communications officer wearing a blue Hubei military uniform walked through the yard and trotted to the commander's hall. He crossed the threshold, saluted Chen Huan, and then quickly said: "Mr. Chen, the news he just received was lost in Chengdu and Luzhou."

"Luzhou is also lost..." Chen Huan's tone was very disappointed, but he was not surprised. Chengdu and Luzhou's lives were hanging on the line. Chengdu was over on March 29th, and after so many days, Luzhou should be over. He shook his head helplessly. In three months, he actually fought such a tragic battle. Where should he put his face?

"Chengdu was Liu Cunhou who turned against him and sneaked into the 18th Division Commander Zhang Yongcheng was hit by a stray bullet. It has been confirmed that he was seriously injured and died. In the early morning of April 2, the mutiny occurred in Luzhou. The rebel soldiers threatened to surrender to the Southern Army. The commander of the 19th Division Wu Xiangzhen and the commander of the 6th Division of the Central Division Ma Longbiao were both captured." He Zonglian's communication officer read the telegram report.

After a while of silence, Chen Huan asked slowly: "What are your Commander He's plans?"

The communications officer replied: "Commander He believes that the situation in Sichuan has been out of control. The most urgent task is to garrison heavily in Chongqing, curb the momentum of the Southern Army, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack after raising reinforcements."

Chen Huan fell into silence for a while. Until the communications officer was a little uncomfortable, he said, "Okay, go and tell Commander He that the Chongqing matter will be fully entrusted to him."

The communications officer was stunned. He didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He knew that Commander He had been thinking about Sichuan. The situation in Sichuan is not good now, but at least he could still think about Chongqing. But now he heard Chen Huan's words, and his implicit meaning was that he had a silence.

"Mr. Chen, why are you doing this?" he persuaded him verbally.

"Why do I have to do this? Then tell me, I am a bachelor commander now, how can I deal with myself? Forget it, don't say much nonsense, just bring my words to you Commander He." Chen Huan said upset.

"This...well, I'm leaving."

When everyone was finished, Chen Huan sat alone in the empty hall in a daze. Things changed so quickly that he had no time to take care of it. After sitting like this for more than ten minutes, he sighed and called out loudly to the back hall, "Come!"

Not long after, a butler wearing a long gown ran in and asked Chen Huan respectfully: "Master, what are you asking?"

Chen Huan said seriously: "Go and notify the family in the backyard to pack up the gifts immediately, bring everything you can with you, and discount what you can't bring. In addition, send someone to book a ticket to Wuhan tomorrow afternoon."

The butler was surprised and said in surprise: "Master, are you leaving?"

Chen Huan said with difficulty: "I am going to escape! In short, don't ask more questions, let your family bring more money. Go and do it."

The butler quickly nodded and said yes, turned around and ran away.

After April, Wuzhou became busier and busier, and the days of the election were approaching. With the end of the Chengdu War, the morale of the entire south rose to an unprecedented level, and people valued the prospect of the southern government more and more, while the Beiyang government was rising and falling here and there, the mountains and rivers were setting.

Celebrities in the north, rectifying activists and speculators went south, helping the southern government to rise, while secretly competing for various interests.

Under such a general environment, even foreign seasons cannot stand firmly, so they secretly sent spies, diplomats or bankers to Wuzhou, Guangzhou and other places to inquire about the news.

The office of the Military Joint Conference is still the same, with people coming and going, and the military affairs of the entire south are being organized in this crowded small side courtyard. The Union Hall, separated by a courtyard wall, is more lively than before. Political celebrities from the north and south are constantly visiting each other, and they always have to have some connections to meet relatives and friends with the bureaucrats in the Senate of the Government to be satisfied.

On April 9, a telegram was sent to Wu Shaoting's desk. After reading it, he frowned and threw the telegram on the desk. He Fuguang, Chen Jiongming and Yu Jitang, who were in the office, looked at each other one by one, and each one looked a little sad.

"I had expected this to be the case, but I didn't expect the chaos to come so quickly!" Wu Shaoting said coldly, his tone not so anxious.

"Chongqing is still unresolved. Chengdu has gathered about 50,000 troops and refused to dispatch. Are you really planning to push the rest of the matter to the 7th Division? This is not a question of whether the troops are enough. This is a question of whether our south is united or not. If people from Yunnan and Guizhou are only concerned about dividing Chengdu, how can they expect them to do big things in the future?" Chen Jiongming sighed, with a hidden grief and anger.

"We have to issue another order to force them to organize troops to Chongqing quickly. Such things must not be tolerated. Once they are tolerated, they will definitely raise traitors!" He Fuguang said seriously.
