The secretary standing on the side, his right hand quietly reached for the pistol at the back of the waist. Chen Shouyue raised his eyebrows, only to hear the commotion, and the pistol automatically scattered into a pile of parts and fell on the floor. The secretary's face was pale, and he stood stiffly in place, not daring to move.

"Chairman Sun, is this your secretary? Tsk, he is a major at such a young age, do you say he is a qualified soldier? Chu Qiu pointed to the secretary: "Sure enough, it's good to get promoted close to the leader." Many soldiers who serve in the front-line troops may not be able to do this position in their lifetime. Sun Mu clenched his fists, this secretary was the son of one of his confidants, who was sent to him after graduating from the military academy to gild, ready to be sent to the combat unit after a few years of training, starting directly from the commander. A rookie who has never even been on the battlefield can stand Chen Shouyue's murderous aura, and it is already very good that he did not kneel on the ground. However, it is true that it is still too far from a real soldier.

"You go out first." Sun Mu ordered, and the secretary was amnesty: "Yes! "I walked out of the suite quickly, and I forgot to close the door. Sun Mu got up, closed the door, and calmed down. Chu Qiu's successive confrontations made his mentality quietly change when facing Chu Qiu, and he didn't find out until now. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and Sun Mu at this moment has finally regained his true character as a soldier.

"Chu Qiu, the commander of the Fuyang Island Campaign needs to command the three armies, and he can't do this position without the rank of general. However, Long Han's rank of general is really not so easy to get. Even if you are unparalleled in the world in terms of force, but you have no military merits, you still cannot be awarded a title. This is the law of martial arts. Can't change it! Sun Mu frowned, and then said: "Anyone who wants to confer the rank of general must be approved by all the members of the Standing Committee of the Military Department, and I can't make the decision." All I can do is try to fight for you in the meeting. I'm done with that, whatever you want. ”

Contrary to Sun Mu's expectations, Chu Qiu did not make things difficult for him. Chen Shouyue patted him on the shoulder: "Then we will wait for good news." We'll come back tomorrow afternoon. The four of them walked out of the suite, and Sun Mu breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Master, are you really going to wait for news from Sun Mu?"

"Wait, but that doesn't mean we don't do anything. I have just sent a letter to the Government Council, if you can't have the right military rank, then let them send someone to the military department for this operation. We'll just be responsible for dealing with the Cult of Light and the Dark Council. Chen Shouyue flicked his sleeves: "Let's go, go for morning tea!" ”

The working hours of the central department of Longhan are 9 to 5, with the exception of the military department, which has always been implemented in accordance with the work and rest of the army. At 6 o'clock in the morning, the canteen of the military headquarters was already open, and officers at all levels ate in an orderly manner according to their seats. Sun Mu sat at a table in the middle, and there were eight other generals at the same table as him. Sun Mu picked up the spoon and gently tapped the soup bowl: "Everyone, after breakfast, the conference room has a meeting." After speaking, Sun Mu got up and left.

In the conference room on the top floor, Sun Mu sat quietly on the main seat, waiting for the arrival of the Standing Committee members. Behind him, hangs a portrait of the Taizu of this dynasty. Closing his eyes, Sun Mu seemed to be able to hear his speech at the military department meeting: "Those who have no merits in war will not be promoted!" It was this sentence that turned a large number of officers engaged in logistical support into civilian positions, greatly reducing the burden on the army. But today, Sun Mu wanted to make an exception to fight for Chu Qiu's highest military rank in Long Han. The invisible pressure pressed on Sun Mu's shoulders.

Soon, the people arrived. Two of them were clearly sitting across from Sun Mu. "Chairman, the military department must be notified in advance of the meeting, what is the matter today, and when will it be changed to the canteen. The secretary is absent from work? ”

"Xu Tianlin, Wang Poshan, this is an emergency meeting with a temporary decision. Please follow the meeting discipline. Sun Mu glanced at the audience expressionlessly. Xu Tianlin and Wang Poshan are the two top commanders who control the shadow forces of the Dragon and Han Forces, and they are also the hawkish leaders who hate Sun Mu's peace theory the most. In their eyes, Sun Mu is not worthy of being a soldier. Xu Tianlin once pointed at Sun Mu in front of all the members of the Central Committee and scolded: "Since ancient times, the text has been admonished to death, and the military has fought to the death. The current army is so vulnerable under the leadership of your Sun Mu, you are also worthy of being the chairman of this military department! ”

Wang Poshan took a sip of black tea comfortably: "Chairman Sun seems to have an emergency military situation." But according to my information, there hasn't been any war in Longhan lately. "That's it! With your Chairman Sun here, where will there be any war in Longhan, everyone shrinks their heads together and enjoys the peaceful days, isn't it fragrant? ”

Sun Mu remained silent. The remaining six Sun Mu's henchmen had no way to take these two people. "Everyone has read the official letter sent to us by the Hidden Land Empire before." "Looked." "Then tell us what you think." "Naturally, we listen to the chairman!" Somehow, Sun Mu felt a little disgusted by this answer. Xu Tianlin and Wang Poshan on the opposite side bowed their heads and tasted tea, smiling without saying a word.

"Two, why don't you speak?"

"What is there to say about this. Speaking of which, isn't it about focusing on the overall situation, and now is not the time to go to war, take a step back and open the sky. Xu Tianlin played with the porcelain cup: "Chairman Sun, I can recite these words backwards, what do you say?" ”

"Last night, I had a meeting with Premier Kong Qi, Secretary-General Xiao Changqing, and the person in charge of the religious association. It was decided that the Longhan Democratic Republic was against the open-door policy. Fuyang Island has become the territory of our country, and the army is fully preparing for war and preparing to meet the enemy! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar. The six henchmen looked panicked: "Chairman, the army has been out of battle for a long time, and if you participate in the battle so suddenly, you will be defeated." "Yes, Chairman, let's stop fighting. It is not impossible to jointly develop Fuyang Island. "Chairman, if such a battle fails, there is a danger of destroying the country! Think twice, Chairman! ”

Sun Mu was calm in the midst of opposition, and there were only two people in his eyes. Xu Tianlin and Wang Poshan's hands clenched the teacup tightly, and their eyes were red. In the special forces, they have accumulated military merits by carrying out secret missions and small-scale operations, and until now they have not commanded a campaign-level war. The largest exercise on weekdays is about 100,000 people, and it goes through the motions according to the exercise script. For generals, who doesn't want to command thousands of troops and make contributions on the battlefield! Who doesn't want to turn the tide and leave a name in history! This time, Old Man Sun's brain burned out, and he actually agreed to fight! Whatever, there are only two people available, who else can be me!

Xu Tianlin and Wang Poshan looked at each other and smiled: "Since this battle is going to be fought, there must be a commander." I don't think you want to be the chief and deputy commanders except for the two of us. Sun Mu nodded: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not too late to wait until the second topic is over." ”

"Now, let's talk about the conferment of a person." Sun Mu turned on the projection, and it was Chu Qiu's photo that appeared on the screen.

"Chu Qiu, the sect leader of the Fuyang Island Branch of the Heavenly Sword Palace, is the same as the palace master of the Heavenly Sword Palace, Chen Shouyu, and the mastermind and executor behind the destruction of the Shenyang Sect. In this battle of Fuyang Island, Chu Qiu single-handedly killed the opponent's highest combat power, and made great contributions to the capture of Fuyang Island. It is proposed that the rank of general be conferred and that you now vote. Sun Mu took the lead and raised his right hand, followed by six hands raised quickly. Only Xu Wang and the two of them sat on the chairs in the audience, not moving.

"Chu Qiu? Where did the stuff come from? Wang Poshan snorted coldly: "What's the use of a person in a sect who wants a military rank?" ”

"He said he killed, and he killed? Who can prove it? Is there any evidence? Xu Tianlin slapped the table suddenly: "Military achievements, how can it be child's play!" Even if it's his credit, it's not enough to be a general! Lao Tzu has been rolling in the fire for so many years to carry these three gold stars, and he is not afraid of losing his life as a raw melon boy? ”

Sun Mu has long been mentally prepared for the performance of the two. "The reason why Chu Qiu was awarded the rank of general is because we have already appointed Chu Qiu as the commander of this battle."

"Old man Sun, you dare!" Xu Tianlin roared angrily, slammed the cup on the table, and rushed to Sun Mu to make a move.

"Why is he? What kind of thing is he? Wang Poshan raised his head and pointed at Sun Mu: "Old thing, if you don't make it clear today, even if I try my best, I will pull you down from this position!" ”

Several committee members on the side hurriedly grabbed Xu Tianlin. They also wondered in their hearts, a sectarian actually wants to be a general? And to command the battle? Even if they didn't dare to go, that didn't mean they could entrust a million-strong army to a cultivator who hadn't spent a day in the barracks.

"Good question. What is he, what is he? Actually, I'd like to know that too. Sun Mu straightened the military uniform that was crumpled by Xu Tianlin: "The rules in the army, the strong are respected." As for me, I am not a dictatorship. Since the two of you are so unconvinced by Chu Qiu, it's better to compare. You have decided on the competition items, and if you think about it, tell me before you get off work at noon today, and I will get better. ”

"There is no seniority on the battlefield, and heroes are judged by success or failure." Sun Mu put on a military hat: "This is the biggest rule." ”
