Chapter 497: Meeting Ceremony (3)
The matter of the expedition of the Three Thousand Academies to support the border has been in an uproar recently, whether it is in the imperial court, in the Military Commission, or ordinary people, they are extremely concerned about this matter, so once there is news, it will immediately spread everywhere.
The real situation of the defeat of the expeditionary force was naturally sealed in the camp, there was no rumor, no report, and there was not even a little bit of news to prove that the expeditionary force had existed, left, fought and returned, and even the upper echelons of the Military Commission had not received any news.
Of course, Chongzhong thought that Liang Po had been maintaining it from the beginning, and he had never reported the affairs of the expeditionary force to the higher authorities at all, and what he wanted to prevent was the current situation, whether it was meritorious or excessive, and it would be convenient for them to operate it when the time came.
But such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could Chongzhong let it go?
The story of the expeditionary force going out to the mountains, treating friendly troops as enemies, and fighting fiercely, finally abandoned their armor and returned, spread among the imperial capital under the sublime signal. For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, and everyone was discussing this matter, wanting to know whether this rumor was true or false.
The Military Commission naturally asked Liang Po about the 3000 Academy Student Expeditionary Force, but the news he got was that the final battle of the Expeditionary Force did not fail, nor did it have any adverse effects, and the 3000 Academy Mecha Department Students' Expeditionary Force just went out to perform routine tasks and returned safely.
But immediately, some people put forward different opinions, they believed that the situation of the students of the mecha department of the Three Thousand Academy should be judged according to the actual situation, and they should not listen to Liang Po or respect the words of either side.
Due to the submission of Chongzhong's report, the entire Military Commission seems to be divided into two opinions, one opinion advocates believing in the students of the mecha department and Liang Po, and the other party says that Chongzhong, as the general of the watermelon army, is also qualified to supervise friendly forces, not to mention that according to the report, half of the military equipment of the mecha department comes from the watermelon army.
Under such fermentation, things became more and more out of control, Pei Hu remained silent about this, and when the internal chaos of the Military Commission became a pot of porridge, the court cabinet intervened "in a timely manner", and said that it should be based on facts.
The court ordered the Military Commission to organize a review team and quickly go to the border to review all the behaviors of the students of the mecha department of the 3,000 Academy, the current state of their bodies and equipment, as well as the expenditure and surplus of equipment. At that time, the court will send a commissioner to follow the review team to the border to coordinate the investigation.
After such a resolution was issued, it was quickly endorsed by some people within the Central Military Commission, so that they could not only clearly recognize the truth of the matter, but also suppress public opinion and control the wind in a good state.
Pei Hu finally spoke at this time, agreed to this resolution, and quickly formed a review team, and in less than a day, the review team was sent to the western border to investigate the situation of the mecha department of the Three Thousand Academy, and the number of the team was ten.
Qin He is one of the members of the Military Commission who is in favor of forming a review team to go to the border to investigate, of course, he is not for any facts, nor for any suppression of public opinion, he is pushing all this behind his back, just because of two phone calls.
After Chongzhong called himself that night, Qin received a personal communication from Ma Shengshi, a member of the imperial court.
He and Ma Sheng were general friends who had known each other in basic positions when they were young, but later they both came very well and luckily, one became a member of the Military Commission, and the other called for wind and rain in the court, so they occasionally maintained interest exchanges.
Ma Shengshi and Chongzhong's phone calls were all for one thing, that is, to let him place a person in the review team, in order to completely raise the situation of the whole incident, and at the same time prevent any accidents from happening, try to guide the investigation in a direction that is unfavorable to An Xiaoyu.
For Qin He, this matter is of course very simple, he can be regarded as a pivotal figure in the Military Commission, and arranging for a person to go in is naturally very simple, and Ma Shengshi also promised that the court supervisor who followed the team at that time was also their person.
Qin He thought about it, then agreed, communicated with Ma Shengshi behind the scenes, and inserted his own people into the inspection team. After the inspection team left the Military Commission and began to go to the border, Qin He sat in his office contentedly and picked up his terminal.
However, before he could dial Takashi's phone number, the office door was suddenly kicked open. Pei Hu rushed in from outside the door with the guards, and a soldier raised his hand and snatched the terminal in his hand, and said loudly: "Qin He! You are suspected of colluding with members of the Imperial Cabinet, revealing the internal secrets of the Military Commission, forming a party for personal gain, and abusing your power for profit, and you are now detained in accordance with the regulations! ”
Qin He's empty hand was still being raised, looking at the soldiers in the whole room and Pei Hu standing at the door in a daze, and instantly understood, this time the whole time was a trap, a trap for Chongzhong and Ma Sheng, and he also stupidly took the initiative to send it to the door and made a funeral gift for the two of them.
Thinking of this, Qin He couldn't help laughing: "The review team has been dispatched, and the students of the Three Thousand Academy will be in danger at that time, you can detain me, can you detain Youyou?" ”
Pei Hu looked at Qin He, who looked crazy, didn't say anything, waved his hand directly, and the guards took Qin He away from the office and sent him to the review department of the Military Commission.
Pei Hu looked at the slightly messy office, sneered, and turned to leave. And Bai Yu's phone had already been called, and the voice echoed in the empty corridor: "Qin He's side has solved the problem...... Yes, he didn't give any news to Chongzhong...... You're ready to act. ”
Qin He's net was sealed within the Military Commission, but Ma Sheng, who had great powers, still heard some rumors, after all, Qin He didn't contact him again, which made him smell a trace of your dangerous smell, and made his old fox's heart unat peace for a moment.
Thinking of all kinds of possibilities, Ma Shengshi quickly called his subordinates and told him that something had happened to Qin Heyi, and Qin Hejin sent someone to the review team, and he didn't get any news.
As a pawn in the political game, Ma Shengshi's subordinates naturally understood the danger in this matter, and now that Qin He had an accident, he had lost contact without even revealing the identity of the traitor in the censorship team, obviously revealing a lot of conspiracy behind it.
When he received a call from Ma Shengshi, he naturally understood and understood what Ma Shengshi meant. After hanging up the phone, he carefully observed everyone in the entire cabin, and he didn't see any clues at all, and he didn't know which one Qin He's person was.
Also confusing is Chongzhong, in order to ensure his own interests, Ma Sheng's life never thought about contacting this person at all. In Ma Shengshi's opinion, since this matter involves the disappearance of Qin He, it must be a conspiracy against Chongzhong, and if he takes the initiative to contact Chongzhong at this time, it may be dangerous.
So Chongzhong was in his command post, looking at the terminal without the slightest movement with a confused expression, he really couldn't figure out what Ma Shengshi and Qin He meant, and he didn't tell himself who he had sent over, nor did he tell him what he should do next.
After thinking about it, Chongzhong felt that since the other party did not move, he could only rely on his own improvisation.
The review team arrived at the camp in the evening, because the matter involved Liang Po, so they did not choose the camp of the 39th Army as a foothold, but finally landed in the patrol camp, which was received by the regular garrison of Qianri.
Liang Po did not have any opinion on their decision, but showed great cooperation, when the review team ordered him to hand over the equipment expenditure of the 3000 Academy mecha team and the equipment expenditure of the 39th Army, Liang Po had no objection, and immediately went down to sort it out, saying that it would be sent to the review team before ten o'clock in the evening.
Immediately afterwards, Chong invited the review team to visit the watermelon army's station in the base to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Under the enthusiasm of the Watermelon Army, coupled with the fanning of the court commissioner, the review team quickly left the patrol camp and came to the banquet hall in the base.
Of course, the banquet hall was prepared by Qianri, a hard and fat man, and there were many similar places in the base, which were extremely luxuriously decorated just to pretend that he looked like a child of a family, but the people of the review team knew what was going on at a glance.
When the censorship team walked into the banquet hall, Senri had already helped prepare food and drinks, and there was a band playing music in the corner to receive the censorship squad from the imperial capital. Chongzhong also walked out from behind at this time, facing the review team, with a bright smile on his face.
"Hahaha! It's been a long time since I've seen my colleagues from the Imperial Capital Military Commission, and it's really an honor to meet you today. Chongzhong walked up to a middle-aged officer at the leader of the review team, and said with a smile: "This is Colonel Chen, the leader of the review team, right?" Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! ”
Colonel Chen is a middle-aged man who looks a little rigid, and his whole person reveals a kind of old age. But this kind of old lady did not make him look weak, but the old and spicy temperament was born spontaneously, in the plain and serious, showing fairness and strictness, he is naturally Pei Hu's person.
Hearing Chongzhong's compliment, Colonel Chen's face also showed a hint of a smile, looking at Chongzhong's smiling face, and after saluting each other, he said: "It's not enough to worry about the name, it's just a matter of loyalty, Chong's company commander is leading the troops to fight at the border, and his demeanor is even more extraordinary!" ”
After the two exchanged scenes with each other, Chongzhong also led them to the front of the large table in the banquet hall, where the guests and hosts were seated, and all kinds of food were served in turns.
Chongzhong looked at a few people in the review team and said: "This matter, it's also my fault, when I heard Company Commander Chen of the 39th Army say that the students of the Mecha Department of the 3000 Academy planned to form a team and wanted to contribute to the stability of the empire's borders, I said okay at that time!" That's what an Imperial student should look like! ”
"Colonel Chen, you also know that soldiers like us who are stationed at the border like us like and admire the most are bloody people. At that time, we felt that the students of the Imperial Mecha Department actually had such consciousness and courage, so what did the future of the Empire have to worry about? ”
"I also agreed without thinking about it, Commander Chen told me that I didn't agree to borrow equipment, I said at the time, since our students have such ideas, I have no reason not to support it, don't borrow it anymore, this team is counted as my share, and I should also make a contribution to the students!"
"But I still haven't thought about it carefully, the students want to go out to fight, they are really inexperienced, and they don't have a qualified commander and a lot of theoretical foundation, and as a result, they just went abroad and had such a big oolong in their brains, don't you think it's a bad thing?"
"I felt at the time that I should be partly responsible for this matter, if I hadn't thought it through and gave them the equipment without thinking about it, this incident might not have happened so easily, so I thought about it, I should report it to the higher-ups, and by the way, I myself greeted you with the mentality of receiving punishment."
The people present also knew that what he said was not true, but they did not debunk it on the spot, after all, they are here to do things, not to negotiate, and all evaluations must be decided according to the final information interaction.
Colonel Chen said: "Commander Chong doesn't have to blame himself, supporting the construction of students is the responsibility of every soldier of our soldiers, not to mention the mecha department of the 3000 Academy, and it will also be the reserve of the 39th Army in the future, your thinking is understandable, but it is also a little too impulsive, I hope you can learn a lesson in the future." ”
Chongzhong immediately patted his chest and agreed: "My old Chong said yes, this person has nothing else, but he can change his mistakes, I must be careful next time." However, Colonel Chen, you also know that this matter is very extensive after all, and now that the border situation is about to erupt, if there are really any major changes, I don't know what the impact will be, I am still a little worried in my heart. ”
Looking at the worry on Chongzhong's face, Colonel Chen secretly said in his heart, and asked quietly with a wine glass, "I don't know what Company Commander Chong is worried about?" Oh! Look at me! It's me who lost my word, how can the news on the border be revealed casually? Hahahaha! Drinking......
Chongzhong and Colonel Chen touched their cups, their faces were full of worries about the country and the people: "Actually, it's not something to hide, now this side is the focus of the entire border, how can the news not be spread, even if I don't say it, I'm afraid you all know." ”
Putting down the wine glass, he said solemnly and sincerely: "Now that the situation at the border is grim, the Cloud Emperor has settled here, and the ghosts of the big clan Xishan covet the star energy, so naturally they will not let go of this opportunity, they have secretly mobilized the masters of the clan to go to the border to seek the Cloud Emperor." ”
"And the empire will naturally not let go, Lei Zi and the others will rush here in a few days, we naturally need to cooperate vigorously, try to ensure the interests of the empire, and strive to keep all the star energy in the hands of the empire, this is the task of our imperial soldiers, and we are duty-bound."
"But you should also know that I only have more than 1,500 mechas, plus the 800 mecha of the 39th Army, it is only 2,000, one mecha corresponds to a master realm cultivator, and the number of ten mecha corresponding to a grandmaster is conservatively calculated, and in addition to the number of other places to respond, garrison and stay in the base to protect the border, the number of troops is stretched!"
"If because of this incident, Company Commander Liang is implicated and his forces are balanced, then in the future, when fighting abroad, I am afraid that the border defenders will not be able to catch it." Chongzhong's face was sad, full of worries about the future situation.
Colonel Chen looked at Chongzhong's appearance and said, "Commander Chong is really concerned about the border pass!" With such a thorough analysis of the situation, he is worthy of being the general of the mecha garrison army rooted in the western part of the border, which is not comparable to those of us who sit and talk about it. ”
"Where, where!" Chongzhong showed a smile at this time, and continued: "Of course, I'm just worried, I didn't say that I would tolerate the traitor because of the form of the border, if Company Commander Liang did something wrong, it would be a mistake, let you be punished, even if the two of us have a good relationship, I won't say a good word for him!" ”
"But Colonel Chen, you also know that the situation on the border is changing rapidly, and if we want to take precautions, it is best to know in our hearts, and you all know the truth that you know that you are invincible, I don't know what Colonel Chen thinks will be the result of Company Commander Liang?"
Chongzhong asked seemingly casually, but Colonel Chen's heart felt a little panicked, this guy said that it was high-sounding, but he was bent on inquiring about their internal information, and he couldn't wait to know what they were doing with Liang Po and the students of the mecha department of the Three Thousand Academy, was he too anxious?
But Chongzhong's heart was also very uncomfortable, Qin He and Ma Sheng didn't give him any hints, he didn't know which of these people was his own, so he could only temporarily arrange such a scene to test, and as a result, he saw Colonel Chen's gloomy face.
The heart is not good, Chongzhong hurriedly swiped out the topic, and began to be courteous to everyone who is doing it, wanting to see which one is particularly kind to him, but he still still hasn't got any answers.
After looking around, Chongzhong asked curiously: "By the way, didn't it mean that there were a total of ten examiners here, I don't know why there were only nine of them?" ”
Colonel Chen was still thinking about his noble intentions in his heart, and he replied casually without changing his face:
"Oh, there's one censor who didn't get over jet lag and rested in the camp."
"I see, haha! I see! ”
