In Fengbei City, the Shazhong Traveler was wearing general uniforms and inspecting various camps.

The defeat outside the city and the corps retreated in a panic, which made the defenders in the city feel uneasy. Looking back a few days ago, when the coalition forces were defeated for the first time, the Chensha Corps held a celebration banquet with great encouragement. All the laughter and joy were as if they had just happened, both real and seemingly illusory.

Instead of going to the camp with Sha Zhonghang to boost morale, Chen Wanzhou hid in his magnificent commander-in-chief's office and stayed alone.

The son died tragically, and the murderer was not found below; the Chensha Corps was surrounded and suppressed by five forces, and the situation was already very critical.

Chen Wanzhou, who had been fighting for a lifetime, realized at this moment that the commander-in-chief's exclusive chair sitting under his butt seemed to be overthrown at any time. At that moment, he not only could not grasp what he was about to have, but he might also lose what he had.

Chen Wanzhou felt an unhelpful feeling of fatigue in his heart, but he had no right to admit defeat. Once the Chensha Corps was defeated, the Shen family members would be broken by the iron hooves of the coalition forces. Those who have always been loyal to him and followed him would be doomed. He himself would be pushed to the public trial meeting, labeled as a war criminal, and after being despised, he would leave the world humiliatedly.

Chen Wanzhou thought of various possibilities in the future and became more determined in his heart. He wanted to lead the EU region to enter the pass, rely on external forces to break the situation, and let's take a stand first.

...

Stayed up all night.

At around nine o'clock the next morning, Chen Wanzhou sat on the breakfast table with constant persuasion by the guards, drinking sticky rice porridge.

A sound of footsteps sounded, and Qin Wenxu pushed the door from outside and walked in: "Commander, I called General Anthony again as you ordered, but he himself did not answer... His adjutant's tone was also a little rude."

Chen Wanzhou frowned: "Have the sixth district troops in Xibo's no-man's land advanced forward?"

"No. After Wu Tianyin and Xiang Zehao returned to Beifengkou, they immediately sent troops into the outskirts of Xibo's no-man's area, but the Liberal Party troops in the sixth district did not seem to have the intention to take the initiative to attack." Qin Wenxu shook his head.

"Where is the southwest, the northwest?" Chen Wanzhou asked again.

"The situation there is better. The coalition forces in the fifth and EU-1st districts are approaching the Gu and Sichuan government garrisons, and they have the intention to attack." Qin Wenxu replied.

Chen Wanzhou put down the porridge bowl and began to think with frown.

"Commander, I think you should not be too worried." Qin Wenxu saw that Chen Wanzhou was in a bad mood and immediately persuaded him: "We have a closer relationship with the EU District 1, and the sixth district agreed to help put military pressure on the Wu group in the Xibo No Man's Zone because of the EU District. Therefore, I think the Liberal Party troops have not moved. It should be that they have not communicated well with the EU District 1, rather than deliberately trying to deal with us."

Chen Wanzhou shook his head and immediately ordered: "You call Admiral Anthony again, and I want to talk to him in person."

"Okay." Qin Wenxu immediately walked to his desk and called the Minister of Regional Security of the EU District 1, Admiral Anthony.

After a few dozen seconds, the phone was answered. Qin Wenxu chatted for a few simple words, turned his head to look at Chen Wanzhou and said, "Commander, General Anthony is asking you to talk to the phone."

Chen Wanzhou got up, walked to the desk, and picked up the microphone: "Hello, General Anthony."

"Hello, Commander Chen." Anthony replied in broken Chinese.

"Haha." Chen Wanzhou laughed and asked with a gaze: "How is your meeting going? I just..."

"Sorry, my friend," Anthony did not listen to Chen Wanzhou's preparations at all, but interrupted and replied: "...We may not be able to provide military support to District 9 at the moment."

When Chen Wanzhou heard this, he was stunned.

"Our highest military parliament and the Federation, all feel that the Shensha Corps has no political value," Anthony said very realistically and directly: "So the parliament decided not to give you any support in the military. Shen, as a friend, I sympathize with you very much, but you are also an outstanding politician. You know very well that politics itself does not have emotions and warmth... I am really sorry, Shen."

Chen Wanzhou's brain was dizzy when he listened to the other party's words.

"Shen, I personally recommend that you give up your rule over District 9..."

"General Anthony, if our Shensha Group falls, it will only be a matter of time before the three regions are unified. By then, your EU political interest groups will no longer be able to curb the rise of the three regions... All your political layouts in the Asian League will be shattered." Chen Wanzhou shouted excitedly: "I hope you make a careful choice..."

"If you Shensha Corps can maintain the status quo, we are willing to help you. But you can't even defend your own territory... Then this war will be meaningless." Anthony said very nakedly: "I'm really sorry, I can't help you anymore."

A few seconds later, Anthony hung up the phone, and Chen Wanzhou stood beside the desk in a daze, clenching his fists.

"Commander..." Although Qin Wenxu did not hear anything Anthony said, he judged the other party's final decision in Shen Wanzhou's words.

Chen Wanzhou's brain was dizzy. He reached out to hold the desk. After two or three minutes, he was cheered up and ordered: "Import all officers at the colonel level and above to have a meeting in the conference room one hour later."

"Yes!" Qin Wenxu nodded.

"Go." Chen Wanzhou waved his hand.

Qin Wenxu left quickly, Chen Wanzhou had red eyes and slapped the landline phone and ornaments on the table.

"Crazy!"

The things on the table fell on the ground in scattered, and Chen Wanzhou shouted with an empty look: "Damn it, the entry of the Sixth District into the Xibo No Man's Land was an illusion from the beginning! These miscellaneous European Union areas must not let me breathe this breath!"

...

One hour later.

Chen Wanzhou took the lead in convening an internal military and political conference and truthfully announced that the EU region would no longer provide any military assistance to the Shensha Corps.

Then without external assistance, it is unrealistic for the Chensha Corps to defend Fengbei.

What to do?

In the end, the Bank of Sha Zhong suggested giving up Fengbei, correctly facing the fact that the Shensha Corps had been defeated, and defect to the allies in the seventh district to preserve their existing strength, so as to make a comeback one day.

This is the only way out for the Chensha Group now, so all the generals agreed.

At the meeting, the Bank of Sha Zhong personally contacted Zhou Xingli from District 7, and the latter expressed his willingness to accept the entry of the Shensha Corps into the pass.

In this way, the most urgent task of the Shensha Corps is to try every means to withdraw from the Ninth District.

...

As soon as the military and political conference was finished here, Meng Xi received the news. He immediately spread out the military map, searched on it for a long time, and suddenly pointed to a small dot and said: "My personal judgment is that the Shensha Corps will not choose to retreat by land. The only one that can withdraw from the Ninth District and the loss is relatively small is Lukou Port."
