Chapter 404: Annexation Plan

Who are you!?

How could you know me!?

Gao Yan was incredulous, staring intently at the man with glasses before her.

The uneasiness in her heart grew stronger.

Although one's own identity wasn't exactly classified information, it still couldn't be known by just anyone.

Especially matters concerning her father...

These people actually pretended to be the commander of the Wangjiang Military Region!

They want to control Wangjiang!

Startled, Gao Yan watched as Chu An slowly produced a magnetic card from his pocket and waved it before her.

"I certainly know you, and I could even say your father knows me as well."

"As for who I am?"

A light laugh.

"I am..."

"Capital Military Region Hua'an Project Commander—General Chu An."

"I believe you must have heard of me..."

An indescribable shock.

Gao Yan was struck like a bolt from the blue, as if she were stunned into stupidity.

The other soldiers also opened their mouths wide, as if they had seen a ghost.

In Long'an Base, there was actually a High Level capital general!?

What the hell is he joking about?

In just a few short hours, they felt the stimulation they received far exceeded everything they'd experienced in their lives.

Baffling.

Every person's face said they must have misheard.

It was like during the War of Resistance, when they, as a people's resistance army, were captured.

But the enemy in charge of interrogating them suddenly removed his mask and then, dead serious, told them:

"Hello, I am the Eighth Route Army..."

"Oh, you are the superiors of your superiors."

Lin An gave Colonel Chu a strange look, roughly understanding what Chu An intended.

He guessed Colonel Chu was about to start another round of brainwashing.

One must admit, Chu An's identity was indeed baffling.

Whoever discovered that an official senior general was hidden in Long'an Base would probably think they'd seen a ghost.

At this moment, countless questions must have raced through Gao Yan and the others' minds.

With Chu An present, could it be that Lin An is actually an official?

Then what are they doing?

Acting?

Not really wanting to hear Colonel Chu's "lecture," Lin An, with a hint of amusement, led Fan Bing straight out the door.

Predictably, in about two hours these people would voluntarily "rebel."

Just like that comrade satellite from the Weapon Research Institute who volunteered to go to space; it is said he studies related knowledge daily to become a star.

And the former director of the Weapon Institute was researching high-frequency weapon improvements day and night.

With status bonuses and invincible eloquence, Chu An's brainwashing skill even frightened him.

Outside the Meeting Room, Lin An casually inspected with Fan Bing.

Chu An's suddenly emerging new plan was probably already on his mind.

In short, it was to brainwash Gao Yan, making her voluntarily disclose relevant information, such as the current commander of Wangjiang Military Region's habits, to facilitate Fan Bing's role.

As for the time limit of the simulation...

Since Chu An proposed the idea, he naturally had a corresponding method.

Unconsciously, Lin An had grown too lazy to bother with him.

This guy is like Doraemon; he always has a way to solve problems.

The only thing Lin An couldn't figure out was Chu An's earlier words.

Isn't the Military Region necessarily aligned with the capital's side?

He truly didn't know that information.

When the Past Life chat channel opened, it was six months later; the situation then was completely different from now.

Moreover, such a secretive piece of information wouldn't be openly spoken in the channel by anyone.

However.

Lin An seemed thoughtful.

Where did Chu An's information come from?

Could Chu An be in contact with other High Level officials?

The private communications in the chat channel are extremely covert, so it would be normal if Chu An had private contacts.

If he wasn't sure Chu An was on his side, after realizing this problem, he would say whatever was necessary to take precautions.

Chu An...

Lin An subconsciously shook his head.

As of now, Colonel Chu remains utterly mysterious.

He just keeps telling himself that Chu An will definitely not harm him, and is indeed wholeheartedly helping him.

Actually, that's the case.

Without Colonel Chu, I wouldn't be alive till now?

Fan Bing beside him was somewhat dazed.

She roughly understood what Colonel Chu wanted her to do.

Impersonate a military region chief?

He clicked his tongue repeatedly.

Such a crazy idea—probably only Chu An could think of it.

She couldn't help but grab Lin An's arm, feeling worried:

"Brother Lin..."

"Does Sir Chu An want me to go to the Wangjiang Military Region?"

"But what if they find out about me?"

"If there's an order from above, wouldn't I be exposed?"

Lin An stopped, turned his head to look at the uneasy Fan Bing.

That's understandable.

Anyone would worry.

After thinking, Lin An made an uncertain guess:

"Didn't Chu An just say that?"

"The reconnaissance team captain I brought back seems to have a high status—she's the daughter of the Wangjiang Military Region commander."

"According to the earlier information, that person is still in the capital."

Lin An actually knows that.

When the apocalypse broke out in my past life, the capital suddenly convened a national meeting, and the senior leaders of all major military regions rushed there to report.

Thus, several military region split incidents occurred then.

Perhaps Colonel Chu is referring to this situation.

After a pause, Lin An continued:

"If we could get Gao Yan to cooperate with us, or make contact with the former commander of the Wangjiang Military Region."

"Assuming his situation is indeed bad, even having a rift with the capital's high-level officials."

"Then this matter indeed has room for operation."

"Where there are people, there will be division of power."

"If it were before the apocalypse, it'd be fine, but now that the apocalypse has come, naturally many people will have ulterior motives."

Lin An deeply understands this.

In my past life, the biggest impact capital evacuation plan resulted from a struggle among three factions.

After irreconcilable contradictions arose, the high-level leaders headed by the evacuation faction resolutely launched the evacuation plan.

Anyway, according to Lin An's knowledge, before the plan was launched, the Capital Military Region even mobilized large forces from surrounding military regions under the pretense of a counteroffensive.

Some military regions made excuses, others chose to believe.

Under the push of high-level officials labeled as "rebels," several nearby large military regions suffered heavy losses despite their own good development.

They mobilized large amounts of manpower and material resources to support the effort.

The outcome needs no further explanation.

After deceiving to obtain supplies and troops, the rebel side directly sacrificed large numbers of troops and then fled.

As a result, the several major military regions that fully supported the capital were completely wiped out.

If I'm not mistaken,

Chu An probably knows the inside story.

Even, the rift between the major military regions and the capital did not arise only long after the apocalypse.

Perhaps there are already signs now...

After figuring out the relationship, Lin An glanced at the tense Fan Bing and smiled:

"Maybe after a while, you'll become the commander of the Wangjiang Military Region."

If Chu An's newly conceived plan really succeeds, the value it brings would be immeasurable.

To swallow a military region this way?

Lin An has always had ideas about the equipment of the Wangjiang Military Region.

Armored group army, artillery corps, air-space forces, large numbers of well-trained soldiers, and organized Awakened Ones.

If it can truly be done, the strength of Long'an Base will undergo a qualitative leap.
