The atmosphere in the conference room became silent.

Under the premise of the failure of the Hefei Battle, the handling of the 11th Independent Forces was particularly difficult.

In fact, Zhao Zhikai's words were mentioned as early as last week's core meeting. The Joint Staff also conducted special research on this, but the conclusions drawn were still ambiguous.

A major general with a straight waist pulled his chair forward and said seriously and seriously: "The problem of the 11th Independent Force must be dealt with. They actually took advantage of the chaos to rob materials and sabotage them in the New Nanyang Base City, causing serious losses to people's lives and property. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and various materials lost countless losses. Such despicable behavior must be severely punished. Especially Su Hao, the commander of the troops, I suggest that a joint security guard and military law review team be sent immediately to dismiss him and investigate him."

As soon as they said that, everyone was shocked. Even Zhao Zhikai, who was sitting at the top of the conference table, and Yuan Zhicheng, who was very cunning, were stunned and subconsciously turned his head to look at each other. From each other's eyes, they all saw a surprised look, and it was confirmed that the words that had just been said from the major general's mouth must have been not instructed by the other party.

A lieutenant general with long cheeks and glasses continued the topic: "I have received complaint letters from several consortiums. According to what they said, during the Battle of Hefei, Su Hao deliberately created chaos in the city of Xinnanyang base, forcibly blocked the roads, and forbidden the residents in the city from leaving. In order to enrich his personal pockets, he forcibly robbed assets belonging to the consortium and killed disobedient people on the spot. The methods were extremely cruel and the atrocities were outrageous. The whistleblower attached photos and videos to the letter, and the evidence was conclusive and it was impossible to deny it at all."

Seeing someone echoing his opinions, the major general couldn't help but become confident. He strengthened his tone: "Su Hao's problem is far more serious than we imagined - although the front line needs support, the 11th Independent Force huddled in Xinnanyang and refused to go to Hefei. He did not organize defense and allowed Xinnanyang to fall, but he led his troops to evacuate early. This was simply the most despicable and shameless escape on the battlefield. The 11th Independent Force took away a large amount of food and resources, and ignored the soldiers and civilians who fell in the city... Is this still a soldier? It's just a waste that fled in sight-----"

As he said that, the major general took out a document from his briefcase and smashed it on the table in anger.

"These are several reporting materials I received the day before yesterday. The whistleblowers were all officers of the logistics and administrative departments of the 184th Army. They were waiting for evacuation at Xinnanyang Station in normal order, but the 11th Independent Force set up obstacles to block them from boarding the train for various reasons, and forcibly seized the personal property of these officers with various excuses. In order to get back their own things, the officers argued in anger. The 11th Independent Force fired on the spot, killing and injuring more than 2,000 people. These bodies are currently hanging at Xinnanyang Station, which is the best evidence."

The cooperation between the lieutenant general and the major general seemed tacit understanding. He also put out a document and angrily scolded in front of everyone: "When the 11th Independent Force had not yet evacuated Xinnanyang, the General Administration issued Su Hao's brigade general promotion order, requiring him to lead the team to defend Xinnanyang to death. But he refused to obey and took people directly to Guizhou, leaving the city and the people to mutant creatures... This kind of greed for life and death is simply unforgivable. All responsible persons must be dealt with. I propose: deprive Su Hao of the brigade general, and the Guard Bureau and the Military Law Department will conduct a joint investigation on his issues. At the same time, the number of the 11th Independent Force was cancelled, and the officers involved were punished on the charges of the same case. They must be severely punished————”

No one interrupted, and there were only two people in the conference room who were passionate. Their mouths were splashing, their eyes were sharp, and their cheeks turned red due to excitement and anger. Because of the exhaustion of their speech and excessive physical movements, dense beads of sweat emerged from their foreheads, and their breathing was heavy, but no one was willing to give up the reprimand of the reactionary evil leader Su Hao.

Yuan Zhicheng casually took out a cigar, cut the port with his small and delicate fingers, lit it, and slowly sucked it.

Both Lieutenant General and Major General were known. One worked in the Propaganda Department, and the other was the director of the General Administration Department. In the Yuan family’s personnel files, their position was very vague and did not belong to any faction. Unexpectedly, they suddenly jumped out today. Of course, judging from Zhao Zhikai’s expression, he did not know much about these things. There were only a few factions in the military department. These two guys neither belonged to the "Zhao" faction nor their own "Yuan" faction. So naturally, they could only be representatives of third-party forces.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhicheng sneered and sprayed a faint smoke ring. His eyes passed through the smoke, and he looked coldly and indifferently at the conference table diagonally opposite the conference table. An old man with a short and fat stature and rank of general on his shoulders was wearing the rank of a general.

Sun Zhan, seventy-four years old, is the Minister of General Administration and the class of general.

Among the major departments under the Military Department, the power of the Comprehensive Administration Department is not big or small. It covers a lot of messy miscellaneous matters such as publicity, hygiene, and daily affairs. It looks like a street office and a community neighborhood committee in peacetime. In short, it is just to take care of everything and can't take care of anything.

Su Hao's brigade general promotion order was actually Sun Zhan's promotion effect.

It was a meeting of core members of the military headquarters in the late Hefei Battle. Sun Zhan, who rarely inquire about military affairs, suddenly proposed that in view of the gathering of many defeated personnel in the New Nanyang area and the chaos in the functions of various troops, there should be a senior commander who can play a leading role in it and command other troops.

At that time, someone proposed to be Su Hao because he was indeed the owner of the highest military rank in the region and his accumulated achievements also met the promotion criteria.

Both Zhao Zhikai and Yuan Zhicheng were surprised by this proposal at that time. They subconsciously believed that this should be the promoter of the Zhao or Yuan, and the purpose was to gain more voice for their side. After all, with the chaotic situation in Xinnanyang, the purpose of appointing a brigade general at that time was to enhance the morale and confidence of the defenders. Who knew that Su Hao had no idea of ​​living and dying with the base city at all. Before the biological frenzy hit the city, he led the team away without hesitation.

Looking back now, the old guy Sun Zhan was indeed unexpected. His abacus was very good. No matter what Su Hao did, he would be impeached in the end. It was precisely because Sun Zhan did not usually have too many performances in fighting for power that Zhao Zhikai and Yuan Zhicheng ignored his existence. Now, the two generals suddenly spoke at the meeting, obviously because they were interested in the control of the 11th Independent Force and Su Hao's rank of brigade general.

It's indeed very scheming. First, raise Su Hao's goal high and raise it to the height of the general, then beat it to death with a stick, leaving the general's hat and the empty seat of the army commander, and then add a relative or confidant to complete the power conversion between the hands and complete the acceptance naturally... Haha, I was not able to do it until I was always on guard against Zhao Zhikai, but I didn't pay attention to a guy with ulterior motives appearing next to me.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhicheng slowly laughed.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, making a loud sound of drinking water, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This is the dual effect of identity and power. If someone other than Zhao Zhikai was replaced, there would never be so many people paying attention to it.

After scanning the eyes that released different gazes, Yuan Zhicheng smiled and smoked the cigar again, expressing his own opinions while swallowing the clouds and fog.

"I don't agree with these statements just now. As far as I know, Su Hao did not rob in the Xinnanyang base city. He just transported away some food and supplies to maintain the daily consumption of the troops and refugees. As for those heavy equipment, Zhang Shengfei handed over the control code of the Xinnanyang base to him before his death, and Su Hao naturally had the right to deal with it. He was a very smart guy, and he had videos as evidence, and no one could convict him."

"The complaints about the consortium are nothing. The situation in Xinnanyang was chaotic at that time, and the handling methods in extraordinary times were certainly impossible to be comparable to those in normal times. Requisition of vehicles is the normal scope of authority for officers, and the same is true for shooting violators. I want to say that Su Hao actually didn't kill many people, so he should kill a few more to stop the limelight of those consortium merchants."

"In terms of train transportation, Su Hao gives priority to ensuring the evacuation of the families of combatants. This is the result of normal sorting according to relevant military regulations. Logistics and administrative departments must be ranked behind the combat units. There is no need to argue about this, and there is no evidence. The train space is so large, and if there are too many things, there will naturally be few people going up. As for the statement that more than 2,000 people were killed on the spot... Haha, Xin Nanyang is now occupied by mutated creatures, not to mention two thousand, even if it is 20,000 or 200,000, it is their freedom."

"Also, the 11th Independent Force does not belong to the 184th Army, they belong to the 74th Army. According to Zhang Shengfei's arrangement before the battle, the 11th Independent Force is in the rest period. After the battle of Hefei began, no one issued relevant combat orders to them. Therefore, the statements such as "escape before the war" are inappropriate.

Yuan Zhicheng was not loud, but the effect was very obvious. No one refuted this. The room was silent, and everyone was thinking, trying to figure out why the Yuan master spoke at this time?

Isn’t the Yuan family and Su Hao mortal enemy?

Why did things turn out like this?

The major general and the lieutenant general closed their lips, and Yuan Zhicheng was a mountain that must be looked up to in front of them. It was definitely not a heavyweight opponent that he could compete with. Even the comparison between ant and anelephant was not considered a comparison. He could drown himself with just a spit.

After the silence, they all turned their attention to Sun Zhan.

Sun Zhan's face is crispy and the old man spots scattered on his cheeks are particularly eye-catching. His eyes seem to be in a state of sleep deprivation. His whole body looks like a mutant leopard.

He had a stern face and remained silent, but he was quickly calculating in his mind.

Yuan Zhicheng's words surprised him, and he also had an instinctive fear and anger that was uncontrollable.

The Yuan and Zhao divided up almost all military forces. As generals, Sun Zhan's right to speak in the military headquarters was naturally at a disadvantage.

No one was willing to be a backward person, and Sun Zhan also wanted to try his best to change his situation. The failure of the Hefei Battle and the fall of Xinnanyang gave him the opportunity. If he could take the 184th Army and the 11th Independent Force in his own hands, it would mean hundreds of thousands of soldiers and at least seven general positions.

"For the 11th Independent Force, I personally believe that it will not be dealt with for the time being."

At this time, Zhao Zhikai's voice came to Sun Zhan's ears: "Su Hao did not handle some issues properly, and roaring in public at the military meeting also caused bad consequences. However, he saved many people after all, transported away the entire logistics management system of the 184th Army, leaving behind the foundation for reconstruction. He took away hundreds of thousands of civilians, who did not die at the mouth of mutant creatures, but followed him to Guizhou smoothly. Even if he had any, his achievements would be greater than his fault."

The Lieutenant General was obviously unwilling to give up like this. He held his eyes and snorted coldly: "So how should we explain the new Guiyang base under construction? According to the documents reported by Su Hao himself, he took away a set of medium-sized construction components originally distributed to the 184th Army. What power does he have to do this?"

On the opposite side, another middle-aged young general shook his head: "I have read that document. Su Hao listed it very well. At that time, the situation in the New Nanyang base was chaotic, and he could only choose materials that were easy to transport. Many issues must be considered when we marched with hundreds of thousands of refugees. We lacked control over the southwest direction. Now there is a new Guiyang base, which is not a mistake. Now it is an extraordinary time, and we can handle special matters."

"Building a base without permission without permission is a contempt of Shangguan and the military headquarters."

"The 11th Independent Force has no supplies and no support sites along the way. What else can they do besides the temporary construction base?"

"Why don't you ask for help from the 74th Army? The southwest direction is Xu Renjie's defense zone. Even if you are rejected, you can ask for help from the military headquarters."

"It is not a peaceful time. Traffic is not smooth, and railway transportation is planned. It is impossible to satisfy it by relying solely on air transport. You must know that, together with refugees, there are as many as hundreds of thousands of people."

You and I say, quickly become verbal and unyielding.

Everyone has their own power behind him. From Zhao Zhikai's standpoint, of course, he will not pursue Su Hao, but he cannot block the mouths of others. The best way is to make the incident public and then deal with it. Even if Su Hao is really punished, it can be reduced to the minimum level.

The quarrel quickly became intense. Yuan Zhicheng stopped talking, just sat there watching coldly.

There are always times when chaos calms down. When one mouth says he is tired and needs to drink water to replenish his energy, the noisy conference room will naturally calm down.

Although, very short.

“I have a suggestion.”

Sun Zhan cleared his throat without hesitation, and spoke with a smile at the slow speed unique to the elderly.

"Su Hao is indeed an excellent officer. He performed well in the battle of Lujiang and strongly opposed the Hefei battle plan. He has a sharp judgment on the battlefield and a variety of tactics, and can always achieve the best combat effect. In fact, no matter how the New Nanyang issue is handled this time, Su Hao should be promoted."

As he spoke, Sun Zhan changed his tone: "However, the chaos in the New Nanyang Base in the late Hefei battle was indeed a problem that cannot be ignored. Obviously, Su Hao did not have the experience and ability to deal with similar problems. This is not a question, but a certainty. A organized and stable logistics agency is the basis for maintaining the combat effectiveness of the troops. The 11th Independent Force obviously lacks in this regard. Since the construction of the New Guiyang Base is a fait accompli, it is better to accept it happily instead of punishing it. Given that Su Hao has weaknesses in administrative affairs, I suggest that Major General Kong Xiao, Director of the 39th Administrative Division, serves as the Director of the New Guiyang Engineering Construction, and also serves as the Chief of Staff of the 11th Independent Force."

Zhao Zhikai was surprised. He never thought that Sun Zhan would make such a strange suggestion without the problem being solved.

Yuan Zhicheng had a nice smile. His eyes looked at Sun Zhan with a smile.

The saying "As aged person becomes a virgin" can indeed be used on Sun Zhan because he understood his subtext.

Yuan Zhicheng's rebuttal was just a cover-up. Faced with all the condemnations of Su Hao, he did not mention the handling of Su Hao and the relevant responsible persons of the 11th Independent Forces. This meant that he tacitly abstained from Sun Zhan's actions. Airborne a base construction director and chief of staff is tantamount to changing direction surveillance and seizing power.

This is just the first step. Next, we will continue to delegate a steady stream of middle and senior officers to completely undermine Su Hao. By then, everything will naturally fall into the pocket.

This is more effective than tough opposition.

When Kong Xiao walked into the temporary command of the 11th Independent Force, Su Hao was discussing the next project plan with Huanghe, Zhang Nanyi and others.

The military headquarters issued a meeting decision at 3:00 yesterday afternoon, and Kong Xiao would take office today. This extremely fast speed is the route of the Air Force to go directly to the New Chengdu base and then take a helicopter to fly to the new Guiyang.

The temporary command center is a simple mobile room. Su Hao heard the notice from the guards outside, but he didn't expect that Kong Xiao didn't need any greetings at all, so he walked in directly.

"General Su, I'm glad to be able to work with you."

Kong Xiao kept smiling, not at all talking to his father-killing enemy. He stretched out his right hand enthusiastically, revealing his most intimate expression.

Su Hao's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his gray eyes narrowed like an eagle. He stared at the man in front of him who was slightly shorter than him but obviously handsome. His tight corners suddenly showed a smile, and he also held the other person's hand that was stretched over and grabbed it tightly.

"Welcome, we are just in need of a competent Chief of Staff, General Kong, you are at the right time."

Kong Xiao looked at him calmly, the smile on his face was extremely sincere, but the deep part of his pupils released hatred that no one could see through.
Chapter completed!
