Chapter 90: Hanging the crown and leaving
Meng Yanglong is an army general, and he is only in charge of part of the system, strictly speaking, he can only command the system he is responsible for.
Whether it is the navy, the air force, or other systems of the army, they are not within the purview of Meng Yanglong.
But among these soldiers, Meng Yanglong's position is the highest, not only in the Central Military Commission, but also in the National Security Commission.
Therefore, Meng Yanglong can command various branches of the military across the system, and in addition to the army, he can even mobilize other forces, including the police, if necessary.
The last time the Cheka base was discovered, the incident happened suddenly, and Meng Yanglong did not communicate with Liu Shuangsheng in accordance with the procedure, so he directly transferred the South China Sea Fleet.
Liu Shuangsheng was very dissatisfied, this Meng Yanglong could guess, in fact, other people were also dissatisfied, and the results were superimposed on this today's meeting.
Meng Yanglong sneered: "Okay, everyone can speak, so let's talk about it, how to deal with Cang Hao?"
Not everyone belonged to Luo Qingwu and Liu Shuangsheng's side, but these people didn't say anything, but Luo Qingwu spoke again: "Based on the two reasons I said, whether it is from the point of almost causing a war, or the illegal storage of the blood lion mercenary, I think Cang Hao must be dealt with." ”
"That's right. Liu Shuangsheng nodded: "If Cang Hao is not eliminated, we really can't explain to our allies." ”
Meng Yanglong sneered again: "Do you accept the leadership of your allies or the country? Do you serve your own people or do you serve your allies?"
"That's all you said. Liu Shuangsheng's face was a little embarrassed: "We must take into account the overall situation, Rezenov is a small person, and we can't affect the overall situation because of a small person......"
Meng Yanglong interrupted Liu Shuangsheng's words: "I have already said just now, if we give up this little person, it will be a bad precedent!"
Luo Qingwu interrupted Meng Yanglong in turn: "Okay, take a step back, Meng Lao, your opinion is correct, the Cheka base must be sunk." But you also said that this missile must be launched by others, not by ourselves, and Cang Hao is the best candidate. After a pause, Luo Qingwu continued: "Why do you want others to launch? It's very simple, that is, once the Russian side blames us, we can easily get rid of the responsibility, in other words, Cang Hao must make sacrifices! Since the Cheka's ship has sunk and Cang Hao's mission has been completed, isn't it clear what to do next?"
But instead of reproaching, the Russian side pretended not to know. Meng Yanglong immediately said: "They know very well in their hearts that this matter is too unreasonable, even if they are never reasonable, they are embarrassed to say anything this time!"
Luo Qingwu snorted lightly: "But what if people are unhappy?"
Meng Yanglong sneered: "Whether they are happy or not, you have to be responsible, Luo Qingwu, you are really not afraid of worrying about a short life." And you're also very responsible, I think you're a Russian soldier, or have you defected to the FSB?"
As soon as he said this, Luo Qingwu's face changed color, and he asked with some excitement: "Do you have evidence?"
"I have no evidence!" Meng Yanglong looked Luo Qingwu up and down: "I just said casually, what are you excited about, is there a ghost in your heart?"
Luo Qingwu slapped the table: "You have to be responsible for your own words!"
Meng Yanglong also slapped the table, and the sound was louder: "Lao Tzu has never been afraid to be responsible!"
The conference room was full of gunpowder for a while, and several senior generals hurriedly got up, came to Meng Yanglong and Luo Qingwu respectively, and persuaded them: "They are all their own comrades, if you have something to say, why be angry!"
"That's it, we're here to solve the problem now, not criticize each other!"
"I think Lao Luo is just buttoning my hat. Meng Yanglong sat down and said with a sneer: "If you want to solve the problem, it's okay, but I don't think there is any problem that needs to be solved in the matter of launching missiles." I don't care if Lao Maozi is comfortable or not, if he is uncomfortable, he has to endure it for me, so be it!"
"Okay, even if you can ignore Lao Maozi, it still won't work to allow a civilian to act arbitrarily like this. Luo Qingwu still insisted on his opinion, but his attitude eased a lot: "Besides, Lao Meng, didn't you arrest Cang Hao, and monitor all his subordinates, which means that you think so too!"
"I really don't think so, otherwise from the beginning, I wouldn't have let Cang Hao join the national security department. Meng Yanglong said firmly: "I said it, catching Cang Hao is just fulfilling what I should do, but it doesn't mean that I really have to deal with Cang Hao." ”
"I kind of get it. Luo Qingwu laughed strangely: "If you put it to other things in normal times, you will make your own decisions, but after all, this time the matter is too serious." Therefore, how to deal with Cang Hao, you have to decide after discussion. But this discussion is just a formality, you don't respect our opinions at all, in fact, Cang Hao, you are sure of this person!"
Meng Yanglong raised his eyebrows: "So what?"
Luo Qingwu really wanted to say a specific "how", but he really didn't know how to say it, and finally came out: "Anyway, I think Cang Hao must be dealt with!"
As soon as Luo Qingwu's words came out, several officers immediately nodded.
When Meng Yanglong saw this scene, he understood that he had miscalculated this time, and he had no time to win support, even if everyone voted, the support for Luo Qingwu and Liu Shuangsheng would definitely be the majority.
"This is capsizing in the gutter. Meng Yanglong shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart: "I have never asked for the opinions of others, and the result is ...... I can't decide what other people think. ”
Luo Qingwu spoke again: "It's so decided......"
"How is it decided?" Meng Yanglong interrupted Luo Qingwu's words, and said resolutely: "No need to decide, if you deal with Cang Hao, I will resign!"
When this sentence was spoken, everyone was dumbfounded and didn't dare to say anything.
The resignation of such a high-level leader is not a trivial matter, even Luo Qingwu did not expect that things would develop to this point.
Meng Yanglong got up, pushed away the people who were blocking him, and in full view of everyone, took off his military shirt, folded it neatly, put it on the conference table, and pressed the big-brimmed hat on it.
The standard inside the military uniform is a shirt, and Meng Yanglong can't take it off anymore, but Meng Yanglong still took off the name number and soft armband on it, and put it neatly under the coat.
"If I take off this uniform, I will no longer be a soldier, and I will not salute you. With a long exhalation, Meng Yanglong smiled, this was the first time he smiled at this meeting: "Everyone, goodbye." ”
Then, under the attention of everyone, Meng Yanglong strode out of the conference room.
That is, after Meng Yanglong left the conference room, everyone present didn't know what to say, and after a long time, Liu Shuangsheng said: "The meeting is dismissed." ”
Two days later, Meng Yanglong came to Guangsha alone, dressed in civilian clothes, and took a civil airliner, without an entourage, let alone a special means of transportation.
He went directly to the place where Cang Hao was under house arrest, and there was no way to know whether the person in charge of detention had heard of Meng Yanglong's resignation, but when they saw Meng Yanglong, they still saluted and greeted him, and they did not stop him.
It's just that Meng Yanglong didn't return the gift.
In the past two days, Cang Hao has lived as always, playing games on Weibo every day, or remotely controlling company affairs through the phone.
When Meng Yanglong entered Cang Hao's room, Cang Hao was wearing big shorts and shirtless, sitting cross-legged on a chair and stealing vegetables.
Hearing someone come in, Cang Haotou didn't ask back: "Who?"
"It's me. ”
Cang Hao asked lazily, "Who are you?"
"I'm ......" Meng Yanglong suddenly remembered that it was very hot today, so he said casually: "I am running pork belly, and I bring salt for myself." ”
"It's really too hot today, you have to tell the people here, the air conditioner doesn't seem to ......be very good," Cang Hao actually knew that it was Meng Yanglong, and turned around as he spoke. When he glanced at Meng Yanglong, Cang Hao suddenly smiled: "What's wrong with you?"
Meng Yanglong was stunned: "What's wrong with me? I'm fine!"
"You're really good, better than you used to. ”
Meng Yanglong didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
"You look light, refreshed, and ten years younger. ”
Meng Yanglong was quite surprised: "Really?"
"Really. Cang Hao nodded very seriously: "I don't have to lie to you, that's why I asked you, what happened?"
"I ......" hesitated for a moment, and Meng Yanglong smiled helplessly: "Okay, sooner or later, you have to know, then sue you - I resigned." ”
Meng Yanglong nodded: "Oh." ”
"Want to know why I quit?"
Cang Hao repeated mechanically: "Why did you resign?"
"Because some people want to dispose of you secretly, and I don't agree to ......" Meng Yanglong said, with a long sigh: "We quarreled, and in the end I resigned in a fit of anger, but I don't regret it." ”
Cang Hao smiled faintly: "It's me who has caused you." ”
"I put you under house arrest just to give an explanation to the rest of the people in the upper echelons, and I definitely don't really want to do anything to you. It's just a formality, and I feel that with my influence, I can get others to respect my opinion. Meng Yanglong shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I overestimated my influence!"
"Things often go unexpectedly, and that's the real law of this world, and no one can go against it. ”
"Although I resigned, you can rest assured that ......" Meng Yanglong said confidently: "I made such a big fuss, Luo Qingwu and they also have to think about how to end it, since I have already stepped down, they are embarrassed to do anything to you." But it's going to be a process, and at least for now, you can't leave it. ”
"Are you sure they can't do anything to me?"
"Of course. Meng Yanglong glanced at Cang Hao, feeling that this question was redundant: "However, you are right in one sentence, my resignation makes the whole person feel a lot easier." Over the years, I have been busy with official business, and I have almost no time to rest, flying around all day and night, and this is the first time I can arrange my own time. ”
"Congratulations. ”
