"Why?" In the General Headquarters of the New Army, which was supposed to celebrate his victory happily, Zhang Jianjun was wearing a major general's new military uniform and asked Yang Zizhen, chief of the General Staff of the New Army, who was also a little depressed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And the generals of the new army in the room, who are also in a prominent position now, did not speak, but looked at Yang Zizhen with sharp eyes, and the expressions and demeanors on their faces could be easily seen, and they also wanted to know the answer to Zhang Jianjun's question.

Originally, the people in this room did not have the courage to question the chief of staff of a group army. However, in less than two years, these young or relatively young faces in the room found their place within the new army, and became the hottest elite figures in the entire Ming Empire army.

The one who opened the question was the commander of the 1st Army of the New Army, who was just a small battalion commander just over a year ago. But if the generals who are now mixed in the high-level armies of various countries, and those who don't know the name of Zhang Jianjun, can definitely be regarded as unheard. He is the most powerful armored warfare expert on the table of the Ming Empire, and the first person in the world's most worthy tank cluster tactical actual combat.

Now he can be said to be the nightmare of all military experts in the world who are studying the Liaodong War. Because the more detailed information about the battles of the Liaodong War was obtained, the more uncertain everyone was that the trump cards and main forces in their hands could stop the thunderous blow of the armored cluster under the command of this general.

Of course, among these individuals sitting in the room, Zhang Jianjun is just one of the most gorgeous and delicate flowers among thousands of flowers, and the others are of course ruthless characters who became famous in the first battle. The highest position may be the commander of the Praetorian Guard, General Wu Yan, who has just become independent from Jinyiwei.

This man, who is not willing to be from Jinyiwei, has just ushered in the biggest opportunity in his life, and the person who gave him this opportunity is the commander Wang Jue, who is much younger than him. He admired this young man very much, more than he admired his original boss, Li Keshou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he couldn't believe that this young man would be convicted and arrested, so a pair of ruthless eyes had narrowed into a slit.

Those who are familiar with him know that this expression was a little annoyed when Wu Yan was in Jinyiwei in the past. And at that time, he showed this expression because he had already linked his future achievements with the honor and disgrace of the new army.

Also making people's scalps tingle is Guo Xing, the commander of the 2nd Army of the 1st Group Army of the New Army, this man who is inconspicuous on weekdays, but he is the one who led a division of troops to defeat Ye Hehao in Panjin Dawa and made great achievements for the New Army to stabilize the war situation in Liaodong. His troops were not as dazzling as the New 1st Army, but they always won in obscurity.

And Guo Xing's side, Wang Yan, who had always been the chief of staff of the commander of the New Army, was the second one who slowly opened his mouth and asked the same question after Wang Jianjun asked why: "Why?" ”

If you count the other generals, all the generals who can handle it within the new army are considered to be complete. Under the gaze of so many battlefield veterans, Chief of Staff Yang Zizhen slapped the table angrily and shouted angrily: "You ask me why? I also want to ask others why this is! You put down Anshan, which is close at hand, and just run back to question me...... I didn't order this person to be arrested, how do I know why! ”

While yelling with everyone in annoyance, he grabbed the phone in front of him and commanded, "Hey? I'm Yang Zizhen! Give me the staff of the Beijing Division Garrison...... Looking for General Yang Ke...... Father...... I...... Yes, I know, but after all, I am the chief of staff of the New Army, and I have to ask about arresting Wang Jue at this time, no matter what, right? …… Father's ...... There must be someone who is a hero, right? ”

Listening to Yang Zizhen's respectful tone, it was obvious that the head of the Yang family on the other side of the phone did not intend to get involved in Wang Jue's case, Yang Zizhen forcibly suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and pleaded several times, but finally he didn't finish speaking, and he heard the busy sound on the other side of the phone. He angrily slammed the microphone on the table, scolded the bastard, and sat back in his chair.

Although it is said that in today's new army, the stars are shining to the point of envy, but looking at the family backgrounds of these generals, Yang Zizhen can be regarded as having a background or the biggest background. The Yang family in the Beijing division was also from the East Palace of Prince Zhu Mu back then. Now if you want to say that there is only one person in the new army who can speak for Wang Jue, he is the only one left.

Otherwise, Zhang Jianjun, Guo Xing, Wang Yan and others would not have left Anshan in front of them, and hurried back to the headquarters to find Yang Zizhen. In the hearts of these people, Wang Jue is the soul of the entire New Army and the banner that will never fall in the entire Liaodong Theater.

However, they seem to have forgotten that in the Liaodong region, in addition to these generals in the new army who regard Wang Jue as their banner, there are also some people who are also inseparable from Wang Jue. For example, at this moment, this old man is in his office, staring at the map in a daze.

He stared at the map with a pair of hands behind his back and couldn't take his eyes off it, but the few generals and staff officers standing beside him could still see that this old man was not putting his mind on the map at this moment, because now the situation in Liaodong was very good, and there was no need to study the combat map in such detail.

The rebels in Anshan are still fighting, but there is no need to worry about it at all. Ye Hehao Lian and the others who fled are no longer destined to become a climate. At this time, the work in Liaodong was only left with the so-called suppression of bandits, as well as the people and the like. But even so, the old man still held his hands behind his back and stared at the map in a daze.

This not old general is the commander of the new 2nd Group Army, the veteran general Sima Mingwei. It was only after a while that he took his eyes off the military map of the Liaodong region and looked at the officers behind him. Then the old general spoke slowly and said to his subordinates, "Why do you think I should look at this map? ”

After asking this question, he didn't wait for his subordinates to answer, so he answered his own question by himself: "I'm looking to see how much the territory of our Ming Empire can expand in Liaodong, and where it can be affected......

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the bridge of his nose with his finger, and said loudly to these embarrassed officers under him: "Wang Jue, a young man, an amazing young man!" What he did in Liaodong, the old men in the Beijing division couldn't see it, they would rather not have the ancestral Sheji than pretend not to see it, but we soldiers can't! If we soldiers also pretend not to see and do not speak with a clear conscience, how can we let people follow us into the enemy's guns in the future? ”

"The Ming Empire...... There must still be people who are not blind to stand up and say a word of conscience. Otherwise, I don't even know why I would die fighting for this empire. Sima Mingwei's last muttered sentence, he may not have heard it too clearly, but he knew that he said it, because he did see this sentence in his heart.

Under the frightened gaze of his subordinates, he slowly picked up the telephone receiver in front of him, and then used his eyes to stop the chief of staff who wanted to rush up to dissuade him. But his adjutant still held his hand and said anxiously: "General! You have been promoted and trusted by Lord Ge to have today's ...... Speaking for Wang Jue at this time, will it be ......?"

"You're just thinking too much." Sima Mingwei pushed away the adjutant's palm to stop him, picked up the telephone receiver and solemnly said to the phone: "Hey, I am Sima Mingwei, commander of the new 2nd Group Army in Liaodong...... Give me the Pick-up Department...... Right! ”

After the phone was connected, Sima Mingwei opened his mouth and said to Cheng Zhixin, who was on the phone: "Cheng Shangshu...... I, Sima Mingwei, am a general, and you are also a general. For the generals, what he seeks is the future of a marquis who will fight for the country, and the land of his hometown is the peace of his wife and children, what Wang Jue did in Liaodong, hundreds of thousands of troops see it in their eyes, and the swaying royal flag on Fengtian City is proof. ”

When he said this, he paused for a short moment before continuing: "If such a person can't get a fair treatment, then there are thousands of generals in the empire, and how many of them are left to continue to work?" ”

"General Sima! Watch your words! Anyway, I'm still the chief officer of the military department, who gave you the authority to talk to me like this? Wang Jue's matter, that is the holy decree drawn up by the cabinet himself, and His Majesty the Emperor has also stamped it! What kind of threat do you have on me? Cheng Zhixin was also full of anger, you must know that he was the one who was about to overthrow Wang Jue, but now he has become the one who wants to pinch his nose to protect Wang Jue, how can such a result not make him angry? How can you keep him from getting angry?

The old general smiled bitterly and looked at his subordinates, shook his head and said, "This time, I will lose at least a third of the supplies...... Let the logistics departments of the armies tighten their belts and save some money. ”

With that, he turned his head sideways to look out the window of his office, where the sun was shining brightly and there was the refreshing air of autumn. He sighed, and then said to himself: "I, Sima Mingwei, will sell you this old bone to make fertilizer today." Now it's up to you to see if you can blossom and bear fruit on the side of Jingshi......"
