Chapter 752: Reminiscing the Old

Li Hunyuan and Chang Shiren, who made up their minds, cooperated tacitly and first took action with the military logistics department. The first thing that suffered was the "tertiary industry" department of the military service company. This department originally intended to resettle veterans and generate some welfare funds for the army. As a result, those officers who were hopelessly promoted in the army relied on their old qualifications and were extremely brave.

The sign of "Liaodong Military Labor Service Company" is hung outside an inconspicuous house. There are no soldiers standing guard at the door. This place is like an ordinary commercial institution. Its main business is to manage agricultural products, forests, mines, fisheries, etc. under the name of the army. The person in charge is one of the oldest qualified counter-officials in Dengzhou Camp, Major General Chen Hong.

On this morning, it was a regular Monday meeting. Chen Hong was in the meeting. He was in a hopeless promotion. When he entered this company, he was still the rank of colonel, and later he was promoted to the next level, which was an explanation. It was precisely because of this that Chen Hong had the idea of ​​making a big fortune and officially retired to be a rich man three years later.

Some things can't be stopped at the beginning, but Chen Hong is like this. With his old qualifications and a large number of connections, in just two years, he has not known many officers who have dragged the entire military into the water.

Chen Hong, who was preparing for a week of work, was not calm. Chen Xie stayed in Shenyang, and did not mean that he had summoned his old subordinates to drink a drink and talk about the past. Not only that, he did not attend the welcome banquet.

When he was restless, the door was pushed open. Li Hunyuan, with a gloomy face, walked in front and stared at Chen Hong with cold eyes. Chen Hong stood up, and his hands were very difficult to hold when saluting. The military police in black quickly controlled the conference room, and all the officers present dared not say anything. They were all watching Chen Hong's reaction.

Chen Hong, with a depressed face, stood silently in place. It was like a sculpture. Li Hunyuan walked to Chen Hong, reached out to tear off the military rank on his shoulders and the military emblem on his chest, and then waved behind him: "Take it away." Like a walking corpse, Chen Hong was taken out. Li Hunyuan didn't move, so he took out a piece of paper and said, "The person who read the name goes out, and the others stay."

There were sixteen officers present, all of whom were from the first and second phases of the Family School. Li Hunyuan was also familiar with them, but at this time there was no room for mercy. Only three people read the name. When they stood up, they seemed to be fished out of the water. No matter how old the qualification was, it would not have any effect at this time. Chen Xie was in Shenyang. Without his intention, how dare Li Hunyuan arrested people?

When Li Hunyuan was acting, Chang Shiren was not idle either and put all the merchants back. He asked them to cooperate with the tax department to check the accounts and find out if there were any problems. After a simple handling, the merchants were put aside, and the middle and senior officers in Shenyang City were gathered in the combat hall. With the same technique, Chang Shiren chanted his name, this time it was better. Only 30% of the people were not chanted with names. Even so, it was a very amazing number. A total of eighteen officers above the school officer were taken down, and four major generals were also taken down.

After the new military rank system came out, it was difficult to advance to the position of major general. The current commander of the combat force, the chief of staff, and the only mountain brigade commander and chief of staff. In other words, there were only twelve major generals in the Liaodong combat force. This time, four of them were arrested in one breath, which was definitely a military earthquake.

The arrest process was extremely smooth, and no one made any moves of resistance, and they obediently surrendered. In just three days, the arrest was completed, and then the materials and evidence were collected. This time was like thunder, which shocked not only the army, but also the merchants who relied on military law to make money.

When the sky was covered with clouds above Chenyang, Chen Xie, who was staying at the site, had a relaxed expression. He specifically called Chen Ping into the study and closed the door. Except for Li Xiang and Nu Nin who were serving him, no one knew what the father and son could talk about for a day. Those who knew would not say it, and those who didn't know would dare to inquire. It was just that there was a legend that when Chen Ping was in the yard, his expression on his face was full of confidence.

The word "prodigal businessman" has been around for a long time and has been used in any era. No businessman can do anything, otherwise how can he bring other people's money into his own hands? Of course, the law-abiding businessmen will not be too worried. Those who are anxious are those big business figures who call the wind and rain in Liaodong. People can be released, but it only takes a minute to catch them.

During the period when a large number of officers were under review, the tax department in Liaodong also started to move, claiming to be a tax inspection. In the territory of Liaodong, the most terrifying thing is the garrison, and the second is these tax officials. As long as you are caught, you are guaranteed to die. Those businessmen who once had the protection of the army are now over. Tax officials who used to be able to do business for the army, but now they see tax officials who come to check the accounts, and they are offering sacrifices like old men. There is no way to make a contribution. Chen Xie is in Shenyang and takes the army first. There is no protective umbrella. Who is not afraid of the knife falling on his head?

Not only the military and tax departments, but the government also strengthened the patrol police force to ensure normal public security in Chenyang City. After staying quietly for a week, on Monday morning, Chen Xie left his base and appeared outside the prison gate of the Military Law Department under strict protection. The military has its own military law system and is not affected by the government.

There were a total of 133 officers locked up here, with military ranks ranging from lieutenant to major general. After being imprisoned for a week, Chen Hong no longer had any expectations for his future. He cared about his family. Unfortunately, there was no news here at all, and the news outside could not enter at all.

The room was pretty good, it was an independent single room, except for the smaller place, everything else was good. The so-called review was to hand him a stack of white paper on the first day of coming in, and let him confess his crimes by himself. Chen Hong had a good attitude, and wrote it for two days, handed over a record. He added that he wrote all the things he remembered, and then continued to explain it when he remembered it.

The reason for doing this is because of his understanding of Chen Xie. He used to be like this in the martial arts lecture hall. He admits his mistakes if he mistakes and lives will continue after punishment. If he doesn't admit his mistakes, he will die even more miserably.

There were many words in the room for him to pass the time. After the materials were handed over, no one came to him again. Every day, it was just reading books, sleeping, and life was boring and making people want to go crazy. Another morning came. The heavy iron door was opened and squeaking sounds made people panic. But this sound was like a gift from God at this time. Five days passed, and there was no one talking, and the delivery of food was handed in from the opening on the door.

Chen Hong, who had just woken up, was still a little dizzy. When he saw clearly that the black face that came in belonged to Li Hunyuan, his body trembled slightly excitedly and asked tremblingly: "Brother Li, is it the day of the deadline?" Li Hunyuan frowned and looked at him, his expression of anger was full of inconvenience. He sighed heavily: "You bastard, don't blame Lao Li for being merciless, hurry up and go and wash up. The master is coming. I will see if he can survive. This is the case."

Chen Hong was shocked and when no one was allowed to see him, he had no hope of living. He was just thinking about keeping his family. Li Hunyuan's words were rude, but he was actually hinting to him, "You have a chance."

He seized the time to clean up and sort out the military discipline. Chen Hong was taken into a small conference room. There were already four brothers and brothers in distress. They were all major generals and all from the Family School. The Family School held a total of ten periods, and later they were divided into two, namely the Army Officer School and the Army Non-Commissioner School. The location also moved from Dengzhou to Lushun, Liaodong.

The five people exchanged their eyes and did not speak. Just as they sat down on the chair, Chen Hong stood up immediately because the door was opened, and the two soldiers who looked like guards stood at the same time. The sound of footsteps sounded from afar, and the five people stood straight, as if they were back in the martial arts lecture period.

Of course, Chen Xie appeared at the door, and one step behind was Chang Shiren, Li Hunyuan and Chief of Staff Weng Zhengqing. Chen Xie walked forward slowly, and the five people stood in a row, straightly thrusting their backs. Chen Hong took the lead in raising his hand: "Salute!"

Chen Xie raised his hand and replied, "Sit down, sit down, I want to talk to everyone about the past." As soon as he said that, Chen Hong's tears surged out. With just one sentence, all the five criminals at the scene burst into tears, and the three high-ranking officials behind him also had their eyes red.

"Chen Hong, during the Battle of Lushun, he brought a camp with Yi characters, and stood in front of the front, stepping on the rotten meat on the ground, resisting Yue Tuo's last crazy counterattack. Lu Yuan, in the battle of Liaoyang, you led people into the city alone, Xu Bing,..." Chen Xie named one by one, telling their most prominent achievements in the past.

He clicked a name and knelt down. In the end, all five of them knelt down and cried in tears. No one felt that Chen Xie had treated him badly and felt ashamed to death. Finally, he finished speaking. Chen Xie suddenly put away the gentleness on his face and said sternly: "Do you still remember the first rule you learned in school?"

When these five people heard this, they bounced up as if they had installed springs, and they all stood straight and said in unison: "The first military discipline in the school is that soldiers can only die while standing, and never live on their knees."

"It's okay, I haven't forgotten what I learned at the beginning. I know you want to die and wash away the shame of your own, but I tell you, it's not that easy. Don't talk about you, even these three bastards can't escape punishment." Chen Xie raised his hand and pointed at the three lieutenant generals, and these three were also standing upright and being scolded.

"There is no complaints in the low-ranking position!" Chang Shiren took the lead in expressing his opinion, and the others followed. In the small conference room, it was extremely awe-inspiring. Chen Xie snorted heavily: "It is claimed to the outside world that your crime is exile. Here I tell you that the overseas alliance cannot have only one heavy industrial base. In that place in India, there are no shortage of coal mines and iron mines, and the subjects are gentle. I will give you 500,000 Japanese warriors. Your mission is to establish an absolute rule in India." (To be continued.)
