Midnight.

Inside the Xin family's villa hall, the atmosphere was extremely tense and oppressive. A dozen people, led by Chief of Staff Wu, were silently waiting for a call from The Dragon City.

"Dring dring!"

A rapid phone ring echoed. Chief of Staff Wu immediately stood up and answered the call, "Hello?"

"I'm not dead, I'm out… Arrange the key officers of each grassroots unit… We'll meet first, then address the entire division and prepare to move!" Xin Chaojie's voice sounded.

"Yes, Division Commander!" Chief of Staff Wu replied, his eyes already filled with tears. He used the formal title to express his feelings at this moment.

Old Wu was having a hard time!! He had been secretly praying for Xin Chaojie's safe return. This was not only an old friend's concern for another, but also a question of whether the entire Third Division could regain its cohesion in a short period of time, and where each family would go next!

The Third Division had only one soul, and that was Xin Chaojie. Like a central link, he tightly connected all the senior officers, relatives, and direct subordinates within the division!

Old Wu had prestige, but not enough. Xin Xiaodong could speak up among the senior officers of the division, but he didn't have the ability to command everyone, because he couldn't even control his own brother-in-law, let alone anyone else!

Only Xin Chaojie, only his appearance could make everyone obey orders and keep the various families of the Third Division closely united!

"I'll do it now!"

"Good, good…!" Xin Chaojie replied.

After the two ended their call, Chief of Staff Wu immediately roared at everyone in the room, "Start the operation! The four infantry regiments, artillery regiment, and logistics support regiment will immediately gather grassroots officers. Each regimental commander must personally address everyone and do a good job of reassuring them! Half an hour later, the Second Regiment will fire its cannons as a signal, and white cloth wrapped around the arm will serve as the mark. Unified action!"

"Yes!"

Everyone in the room saluted and immediately dispersed.

"Old Xu, take a platoon and go to the border immediately to meet the reception personnel!" Chief of Staff Wu quickly commanded.

In recent years, while Old Xin had been lying low, Chief of Staff Wu had personally supervised all the affairs of the division headquarters. His on-the-spot command ability, internal affairs ability, and ability to handle emergencies were all more rigorous and outstanding than Xin Chaojie's.

So what were Xin Chaojie's strengths? His strength was that he was the division commander, and capable people like Old Wu were willing to listen to him!

…

Fifteen minutes later.

Xin Xiaodong took a car and was the first to arrive at the regimental headquarters of the First Regiment. When he arrived, there was already gunfire around. A company commander of the First Regiment suddenly led his men to attack the investigation team's convoy, killing all the peripheral surveillance personnel.

When Xin Xiaodong got out of the car, the soldiers were throwing bodies into the trenches. The company commander saw him and immediately saluted, "Hello, Regimental Commander!"

"Let them handle it. Officers above the platoon level, come to the regimental headquarters for a meeting!" Xin Xiaodong walked towards the regimental headquarters camp with hurried steps.

"Yes!"

Three minutes later.

All officers above the platoon level gathered in the conference room. Xin Xiaodong had four guards bring out two large bags of cash, as well as valuable antiques, collectible items, and so on, from his office.

The Xin family certainly didn't have that much cash prepared. The money was temporarily taken from the division headquarters' finance department, and the one who authorized the loan was naturally Xin Chaojie's eldest son-in-law.

The four soldiers bent down, opened the bags, and stood aside.

Xin Xiaodong stood up straight, looked at the grassroots officers, and said in a forceful voice, "The smell of gunpowder in The Dragon City has spread for thousands of miles!! We all know what the Third Division is going through right now! Tan Hengqiang is dishonorable, he not only sold us out, but also wants to kill us all! Each of you knows that the investigation team is clinging to our division and won't let go. They want to use us as a stepping stone to help them bring down Old Tan! If we don't do it, they will put the blame of robbing military supplies on our backs!! Brothers, we have no way out. Not resisting is death! I don't want to talk to you about grand principles or strategy! Everyone is just carrying a head on their shoulders, and everyone is trying to accumulate wealth, so why should the Third Division pay the price for those bastards!! Since we can't survive, let's just rebel together! I have already contacted the official army of Old Mo, as well as the ruler's army of Sri Lanka! We'll fight our way out, the official army will give us a regular designation, and the ruler's army is our brotherly unit. Everyone will go up the mountain together, drinking and eating meat together!!"

"Pa!"

Everyone heard the words, all stood at attention and looked at Xin Xiaodong, their faces serious.

"This money is nothing, but it's a token of our appreciation, a motivation!" Xin Xiaodong pointed to the money bags on the ground, "Everyone divide it up!! Let's fight for a future!"

"Tat tat!"

A battalion commander immediately stepped forward, saluted, and shouted, "We eat from the Xin family, so we will fight for the Xin family! I don't recognize any bullshit garrison command, I only recognize Division Commander Xin!! Motivation and appreciation, I already got them in my eight years in the military. Regimental Commander Xin has never treated everyone badly. If you say do it, we'll do it!"

"If you say do it, we'll do it!"

All the grassroots officers saluted.

This scene in the First Regiment was almost constantly being repeated in other regiments and other battalions. The mobilization groundwork was completed in less than ten minutes.

1:15 AM!

Su Tianyu's car arrived at the entrance of the Xin family's villa. Xin Chaojie sat in the car and looked at Old Wu, panting, "Get… get the microphone, I want to speak!"

…

Inside the garrison command headquarters.

Tan Hengqiang personally picked up the microphone and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Are you sure the First Regiment of the Third Division opened fire?"

"Confirmed!! They should have suddenly cleared out the investigation team's eyes and ears!"

"Then you speed up!! As long as you get close, let the artillery regiment and the rocket regiment open fire on me!!" Tan Hengqiang shouted urgently, "Don't think too much, fire first, otherwise there will be big trouble!"

"Yes!"

…

Within the defense areas of each regiment and battalion of the Third Division, the public address speakers were buzzing.

"Attention!!" The military officer in charge stood at the front and shouted.

Hundreds and thousands of soldiers lined up, standing at attention and looking in the direction of the south side of The Dragon City, listening to the shouts from the loudspeakers.

"I am Xin Chaojie!! I am your division commander, I am out, and the current situation is very good!!" Xin Chaojie shouted in concise words, "The Third Division has been stationed here for twelve years. Although we have not made any military achievements, we have never made any mistakes! I have done my best for Tan Hengqiang and the garrison command! My son is dead, and even my death cannot guarantee everyone's safety!! Since The Dragon City cannot accommodate my Third Division, then let's rebel!! Let's go up the mountain!! If anyone has unspeakable difficulties, they can lay down their guns and go north, and surrender to the garrison!! My people will definitely not make things difficult for you!! But those who still recognize me, Xin Chaojie, and are willing to believe me, then take your guns and follow me!! Let's become soldiers in Old Mo!! We are independent! That's all I have to say, the troops are moving south! Let's fight our way out!!"

"Bang, bang bang!!"

A burst of gunfire rang out, firing into the sky!!

Each regimental commander raised his arms and shouted, "Wrap white cloth around your arms, and the entire regiment will move to the Sino-Laro border!!!"

At the same time.

"Boom boom boom…!"

Cannons roared in the direction of the Second Regiment. They were the first to open fire on the garrison!!

"Rebel!! Let's go up the mountain!!"

The shouts of ten thousand people echoed from the southern land of The Dragon City. The breakout battle began!

Inside the Xin family's villa, Su Tianyu had a gloomy face, holding a gun, and said with gritted teeth, "Tell Monkey and Da Bai to come over, I still have things to do!"
