Jiangdong was originally unwilling to choose Xiyuan as his future office location. After all, Jiangdong had a special meaning there.

However, Wang Liang, Lu Zhuoran and others insisted on this, so he smiled bitterly and accepted it.

Xiyuan occupies a large area and can accommodate the offices of several systems such as the military, civil affairs and industry at the same time, without causing the various departments to be scattered and increase the burden of liaison and communication.

Xiyuan is a royal garden with a unique location for easy security.

In addition, the Puppet Peking City Government, the North China Front Army Headquarters and other places were affected by the war, and it was impossible to repair them in a short time.

For one reason or another, Jiangdong had no other choice.

After the battle, Jiang Dong stayed at the Fourth Army headquarters and had no plans to enter the city for the time being.

On the evening of the 4th, Wang Xueqin, Zhou Fu, Ren Guang, Khachanov, Mr. Rabe, Thomas and others also came to Peiping. They came specially to participate in the entry ceremony on the morning of the 5th.

With the concerted efforts of all systems, the plan for the city entry ceremony was quickly placed in front of Jiangdong.

Everyone was very enthusiastic and worked hard for something like the city entry ceremony that would enhance military prestige. Wang Xueqin and Wang Liang felt a little uneasy as they watched Jiang Dong read through the plans.

"It's good. I don't have any objections. Just follow this." Jiang Dong said to the two of them with a smile after reading it.

Wang Xueqin and Wang Liang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the latter said:

"Commander-in-Chief, all systems have been arranged. The Political Department still has some manpower. Do we need to mobilize the people in the city to make the scene more grand?"

Jiang Dong thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"There is no need to bother mobilizing the people to put on a show. The notice has been sent out. If our army wins the hearts of the people, they will come spontaneously without mobilizing the people.

Only when the common people do it voluntarily can it appear sincere and meaningful!"

Wang Liang actually didn't quite agree with Jiang Dong's words, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Although the city entry ceremony can greatly increase the prestige of our army and show victory, the risks are also very high." Jiangdong tapped his fingers on the table and said:

"Beiping has a population of tens of thousands. It is inevitable that some Japanese spies will be hidden there. Tomorrow's entrance ceremony will be crowded with people. We must prevent Japanese spies from sabotaging it!"

Organizations must also work harder to avoid panic and stampede incidents!”

It was originally a matter of great honor, but Jiang Dong didn't want to screw it up, so he warned.

Wang Xueqin nodded with deep understanding,

"The Military Intelligence Bureau, the Hunter Brigade and the Internal Guard are all well prepared. The safety of the Commander-in-Chief and our generals is absolutely guaranteed!

There are approximately 6,000 policemen and Imperial Army soldiers, and all their weapons have been confiscated. They will be the main force responsible for maintaining order on the scene tomorrow!"

"Um!"

Jiang Dong believed that Song Li, Wang Xueqin and others would try their best to eliminate all hidden dangers. He didn't ask too much about the specific matters. He stretched his body and said with a wry smile:

"Alas, I'm sorry for Lao Xie and Lao Wu. They won't have the chance to participate in our first city entry ceremony."

Xie Chengrui and Wu Zhan were still staying in Taiyuan, nominally assisting Chen Cheng in commanding troops in various places to eliminate the remaining Japanese troops. In fact, they were dragging Chen Cheng and a group of senior officials from Chongqing to Taiyuan to buy time for Jiangdong to completely digest Peiping.

A trace of disdain flashed in Wang Liang's eyes and he said:

"The city-entering ceremony is a great opportunity for our army to show its martial arts skills to the outside world, and it is also an opportunity for the commander-in-chief to gain the hearts and minds of the people and the military!

How can others interfere with such a glorious moment? That's not picking peaches."

"Director Wang is right, Commander-in-Chief, don't worry too much." Wang Xueqin continued:

"We have achieved a level of merit that is difficult for anyone to match. The strength of the Sixth Corps also makes those who want to pick peaches be cautious.

Now that all of North China has been liberated, it is a good time for us to vigorously develop. The Commander-in-Chief’s attitude in some aspects should also become tougher!"

As the top person in charge of the civil affairs system, Wang Xueqin knew that Jiangdong sent gifts to Chen Cheng and provided strong support to various war zones in the south.

Jiangdong did these things mainly to show weakness to Chongqing and to reduce internal resistance to development as much as possible.

Wang Xueqin believed that after all of North China was liberated by the Sixth Corps, Jiangdong's cautious and trembling methods should stop.

Wang Liang beside him nodded vigorously, seeming to agree with Wang Xueqin very much.

Jiang Dong felt a sense of solemnity in his heart.

Jiang Dong already knew what kind of person Wang Liang was, and it was reasonable for him to say such things.

Wang Xueqin has always been as steady as an old dog, why did he become radical today?

It seems that after the liberation of all of North China, the concepts of the Sixth Corps have changed unconsciously.

On his face, Jiang Dong promised Wang Xueqin, Wang Liang and others, but in his heart he became more vigilant and serious.

On the morning of July 5, in addition to the garrison troops who were inseparable from their posts, more than 12,000 people of the Fourth Army lined up outside Yong'an Gate, waiting for Jiangdong's review.

Tanks, armored vehicles and artillery tractors were at the front, and each vehicle was wiped clean, revealing the true colors of metal and paint.

Behind the heavy equipment are soldiers from various divisions and regiments. Their military appearance is neat and their expressions are serious.

Everyone stood upright in the queue like a javelin. The sun had risen high and the sun was scorching the earth. Although they were sweating profusely, the soldiers remained motionless.

The military flag flutters in the wind, making a sound like a war drum, keeping the soldiers alert at all times.

Su Qing arrived at the Fourth Army Headquarters early in the morning and brought Jiangdong a brand new uniform of the Army's second-level general.

Together with Zhao Erniu, she helped Jiang Dong shave his beard, wash his face, and then dressed Jiang Dong in a brand new military uniform.

Su Qing's fingers crossed the general star on the collar of his military uniform, his movements were light and gentle, his eyes were full of pride, and his expression was a little excited.

When Zhao Erniu saw this, he laughed twice and said:

"Hehe, if the bald chairman is not afraid of being overshadowed by his superior achievements, the commander-in-chief will have more generals in a while."

Unknowingly, Zhao Erniu no longer respected the chairman of the committee, and even took on a teasing tone.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing just looked at Jiang Dong affectionately, seemingly not caring about the number of general stars on Jiang Dong's collar badge.

At 9:30 in the morning, Jiang Dong left the Fourth Army Headquarters and took a bus to Yongding Gate.

From a distance, he saw a steel-like army standing quietly outside Yong'an Gate.

The long queue was as silent as the sea, motionless, with only the sound of military flags and the whistling of the wind in their ears.
