Chapter 288: High-level Meeting
Now that Meng Yanglong has returned, he will inevitably take charge of all the work, and although the police news report is from Liao Jiajun, it has also been reviewed by Meng Yanglong.
Meng Yanglong asked for the release of information in what tone, everyone must follow, that is to say, the tone of the whole story was set from the beginning, and Meng Yanglong had decided not to disclose the truth.
Meng Yanglong was a little strange: "You don't seem to be surprised at all!"
"I already guessed you'd do it. Cang Hao smiled slightly: "This is the best way to deal with it." ”
"Hearing you say that, I really want to treat you as a year-old friend...... Meng Yanglong said this, and looked at the time: "Although you always talk to me no big or small!"
Cang Hao rolled his eyes: "Why am I not big or small!"
Meng Yanglong didn't answer, and said: "When the time comes, everyone should have arrived, come with me." ”
"What for?"
Meng Yanglong's answer was very simple: "Have a meeting!"
Meng Yanglong took Cang Hao out of the study and went to the conference room, and Cang Hao was a little surprised as soon as he entered the door.
The conference room was full of people, not only the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders, but also many high-ranking generals.
Of course, Luo Qingwu was also there, but as soon as this gaze touched Cang Hao, he immediately lowered his head and couldn't see what his expression was.
That is, as soon as Cang Hao entered the door, the conference room immediately erupted in a burst of warm applause, not only all the generals were applauding, but the first and second leaders were also applauding.
Meng Yanglong arranged a seat for Cang Hao, and when Cang Hao sat down, the applause stopped.
Immediately, the second leader spoke: "Cang Hao, I called you here this time, mainly to commend you." Yesterday, what happened in this city, everyone already knows, I will not repeat it. But I must repeat another thing, it was Cang Hao who saved the city, and even half of the country, at the most critical time. ”
As soon as the second chief's voice fell, a burst of warm applause broke out at the scene.
The generals applauded and nodded their heads with smiles, indicating that they were genuinely congratulating rather than hypocritically pandering.
The second leader spoke again: "Earlier, Meng Yanglong proposed that because the country has more and more economic, trade and personnel exchanges overseas, it is necessary to defend national interests with armed forces. However, in the vast majority of cases, it is not appropriate to use the country's regular armed forces, so Meng Yanglong proposed that military contractors should be used following the example of country M. This proposal caused a huge controversy at the time, many people opposed it, and even I personally had reservations, but Meng Yanglong insisted on making a small-scale attempt despite public opinion. Facts have proved that this choice is correct, and Cang Hao and his team have played a major role in many incidents and have lived up to the expectations of the motherland and the people......"
Although the second leader's words were simple, they still revealed a lot of key information, and the decision to form the Blood Lion mercenaries was actually hugely controversial at the top.
The reason is simple, there is no such precedent in the past, and it is always the most difficult to take the first step in everything.
In fact, most people agreed that Dongying military contractors defended national interests, and the main point of contention at the time was on arms control.
Many have suggested that the creation of Blood Lion mercenaries should be allowed, but they should not be allowed to hold weapons, and weapons must be issued temporarily while they are on duty. Alternatively, you may not possess weapons in the territory and may only carry them when leaving the country.
These proposals were all vetoed by Meng Yanglong, because Meng Yanglong insisted that the soldier's familiarity with weapons directly determines combat effectiveness, and that soldiers who spend all day and night with weapons must be better at fighting than soldiers who can't touch a gun a few times a year. Moreover, military contractors often carry out sudden missions, which may affect the timeliness of the mission if they need to receive weapons on an ad hoc basis.
In fact, contrary to what many people think, guns are not completely forbidden to be owned by the people in China.
Historically, all government departments, enterprises, and units in China have been equipped with a certain amount of guns and ammunition, and leading cadres who have reached a certain level can be equipped with guns. In particular, many large enterprises have also organized militias into formations, not only ordinary firearms, but even machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.
It was an era when all the people were soldiers, and everything was prepared for a war that might come at any time, so the Chinese people were no strangers to guns.
In addition, there were a large number of air guns and hunting rifles among the people, and it was not very difficult to get a gun at that time.
In the 90s of the 20 th century, the state began to ban guns in an all-round way, and all government departments and enterprises except for the military and police system handed over their guns, and civilian guns were gradually confiscated.
It is precisely because of this gun ban policy that some people insist that it is quite serious to allow organizations that are not under the direct command of the State to possess weapons in their own territory.
Due to the overwhelming opposition, Meng Yanglong's proposal was temporarily shelved, which meant that, in theory, the existence of the Blood Lion Mercenaries was in fact illegal.
Fortunately, Meng Yanglong had his own idea, although he said that the proposal was temporarily shelved, he acquiesced to the continuous growth of the Blood Lion mercenaries, and repeatedly used the Blood Lion mercenaries to carry out tasks, turning the existence of the Blood Lion mercenaries into a fait accompli.
After Cang Hao entered the conference room, he found that today was actually a commendation meeting, of course, to commend the battle with the Jushui Society, but more importantly, the existence of the Blood Lion mercenary would be legalized.
In the past, the Blood Lion mercenaries were completely under the shadow of Meng Yang Dragon, and they were in a semi-underground state, and in the future, they could exist completely openly.
Sure enough, the second leader continued: "Since the facts have proven that Meng Yanglong's previous decision was correct, then we should implement this decision now. Cang Hao, you should understand what I mean, and I hope that you and your team can make more contributions to the country in the future. ”
As soon as the second chief's voice fell, the conference room burst into applause for the third time, but this time the applause was a little complicated.
At first, the generals sincerely congratulated the Blood Lion mercenaries on their achievements, but after hearing the words of the second leader, their thoughts were different.
On the one hand, if the Blood Lion mercenaries make greater achievements in the future, it will appear that their regular troops are too incompetent, and on the other hand, let the Blood Lion mercenaries charge into battle, but they can make themselves at ease. Many people can't decide for a while, whether to watch the Blood Lion mercenaries as cannon fodder, or to prove that they are better at fighting than the Blood Lion mercenaries.
Cang Hao saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, knowing what these people were thinking, he just smiled and didn't say anything.
The No. 1 leader didn't speak, but at this time he suddenly looked at Luo Qingwu and asked, "Old Luo, what about you, what do you think?"
Luo Qingwu seemed to have been in a daze, and when he heard this, he was stunned: "Ah? what...... What do I think?"
The No. 1 leader said slowly: "Meng Yanglong proposed to form a military contractor, and your opposition was the fiercest at that time, I wonder if you still insist on opposing it now?"
"I ...... Of course not!" Luo Qingwu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Facts have proved that Lao Meng's proposal is very reasonable and feasible...... yes, we should have done it a long time ago!"
The No. 1 leader asked with a smile, "You really don't object?"
Luo Qingwu shook his head vigorously: "Of course not!"
"Okay, now let's move on to the next topic...... "Captain No. 1 said, "This time the Kikusui incident proves that our national defense and security are facing a serious threat, in the past they used strong ships and cannons to knock on our country's door, and now they are using some unheard-of means to launch more terrifying aggression. If it weren't for the accidental factors that allowed Cang Hao to discover the truth of the incident, I really can't imagine how serious the consequences would be. In light of this, I feel the need to reform our security system......"
Cang Hao suddenly interrupted the words of the No. 1 leader: "I think this matter might as well wait a while!"
When Chief One spoke, everyone listened attentively, and many of them were still holding brushes to record something.
How could anyone dare to interrupt the words of the No. 1 leader, but Cang Hao dared to do so.
The No. 1 leader looked at Cang Hao with a smile: "What do you have to say?"
"I believe that the chief has understood the whole story...... "After a pause, Cang Hao said slowly: "In fact, the situation was already very critical at that time, because all the virus flies were released. If it weren't for Tamiya Takama's actions before, even I wouldn't have been able to do anything......"
The number one leader nodded: "Go on!"
"Then the crux of the question is, why does Jushui have the opportunity to release all the virus flies?" Cang Hao didn't need to answer others, and said to himself: "Originally, after I led the team to rush to the office building, I could directly kill the office building and destroy the resistance of the writing team as quickly as possible." That is, I could have made Kikusui Kai have no chance to release the virus flies, but I didn't. Because I was stopped by a large number of armed police officers right outside the office building, I had to spend a lot of time negotiating with the armed police to make them understand how serious the situation was. At the same time, the Dongying people of the Jushui Society were in the office building, smiling at us Chinese people infighting. Isn't it ridiculous that our own soldiers are encircling hostile forces trying to destroy us. ”
"Is there such a thing?" The No. 1 leader seemed very surprised and asked Meng Yanglong, "What's the matter with those armed police?"
"I don't know. Meng Yanglong shook his head: "You better ask Lao Luo, maybe he knows what's going on." ”
The No. 1 leader asked Luo Qingwu again: "Do you really know?"
"I ...... This ......" Luo Qingwu's face turned pale: "Those armed policemen were sent by me......"
"Why did you send armed police to surround the Dongying people?" the No. 1 leader smiled: "I believe you must have a reasonable explanation!"
"Yes, I have a reasonable explanation...... Luo Qingwu's forehead was full of beads of sweat, and he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it: "Those Dongying people were attacked by the Red Army before and have become the target of terrorist activities, I was worried about their safety, so I sent someone to protect their ......"
