Chapter 68: Old Fritters
Under the cover of night, the undercurrent is turbulent. On the intricate battlefield, Zuo Zhe drove a single mecha and quietly sneaked in the direction of the southwest corner of the city.
In front of Zuo Zhe, the commissioner of the pirate side took the five telekinesis of his escort team to escort them, and took the flying machine all the way to the unimpeded periphery of Iron Blood City to quickly detour. Arrived at the location where anomalous data frequently appeared before Zuo Zhe.
As the commander of the support force, Cheng Feng naturally could not charge at the front line. Therefore, even though most of the soldiers of the unit he led had already infiltrated the pirate defense line, Cheng Feng still led the most elite special forces in the support force to be stationed outside the pirate defense line, staying in the aircraft hidden in the mine.
The heavens and the earth are big, and the lives are the greatest. Although Cheng Feng was not treated by the high-level of the Ruixue Group's Cave Star Branch, he was still a very high-ranking military commander in the middle of the Ruixue Group. Therefore, Cheng Feng, like the senior management of Ruixue Group, has cultivated the habit of cherishing his life. Although he can't do "a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall", Cheng Feng will still try his best to put himself in a safe position. As for the credit? After so many years, Cheng Feng can see that it is not the credit that determines whether to ascend to the top or not, but the relationship with the high-level, especially the members of the Rui family. If you are not close enough to the members of the Rui family, even if you have the ability, you will not be reused. If the relationship with the members of the Rui family is not good enough, he still has extraordinary abilities, and he can even invite death!
It's like having a watchdog at home, and as a result, the relationship between this watchdog and the owner is not good, and the combat effectiveness is particularly strong! If you let this kind of watchdog watch the door, when the owners of the house enter and exit the door, then they are not allowed to walk around the watchdog? If this really happens, this watchdog who has a bad relationship with the owner will most likely be slaughtered and eaten. Naturally, the descendants of the Rui family will not eat the meat of powerful subordinates, and it is illegal to eat human flesh. However, if you sit back and watch the subordinates who have a bad relationship become bigger and stronger, there will be a hidden danger that the lord is weak and the minister is strong. And once the situation of the lord is weak and the minister is strong, then it is not far from centrifugal and rebellion. Even if the powerful subordinates do not have the intention of betraying, the superior will be suspicious and open to them because of the discord sowed by the ill-intentioned people, and then step by step let the powerful subordinates who feel threatened take precautions. In this way, the contradictions between superiors and subordinates will become more and more intense and difficult to reconcile.
Cheng Feng is not the kind of cold person who is arrogant and arrogant, the problem is that Cheng Feng was not cultivated by the Rui family since childhood, but an outsider who joined the Ruixue Group halfway. Therefore, even if Cheng Feng wants to tie up, there must be a way. As for Rui Xuehua, the person in charge of the Cave Star Branch of Ruixue Group, the other party has a large group of sycophants around him all day long, and Cheng Feng can't make it up at all!
Therefore, Cheng Feng is actually quite distressed. If you don't have a good relationship with the Rui family, no matter how much credit you make, it's useless. Since it's useless to have a lot of credit, why work hard to show your military talents, so that those villains who are jealous of their abilities will be jealous and framed?
All in all, Cheng Feng felt that he was shrinking to the outermost not because he was timid, but because it was meaningless to fight for credit, and it was better to put himself in a relatively safe place. Even if you suffer a huge loss, you might as well run away as soon as possible, right?
Thinking about running away before the fight started, Cheng Feng was indeed not a competent commander. However, even if doing so would make him criticized, Cheng Feng still went his own way, ignoring the little emotions in the hearts of his subordinates.
"Sir, wake up!" The sudden rush of shouts woke Cheng Feng up from a nap. Half-lying on the extremely comfortable co-pilot's seat, Cheng Fengzhengse, who was staying in the cockpit of the aircraft, took over the information transmitted back by his subordinates.
"Have an enemy infiltrated our ranks?" Regarding the information reported by his subordinates, Cheng Feng was not too surprised. Through the torture of the captives, Cheng Feng already knew the origin of this "pirate". This enemy is not a real pirate, but a soldier recruited from the Earth's Far Star. However, these soldiers do not belong to any of the forces on the bright side of the earth, but to an organization called "Nameless". However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nameless is a force secretly cultivated by one or more forces of the Earth Far Star. This kind of thing is also being done by the major forces of the Earth Cave Star, but it is not as big as the Earth Far Star, and they already have the strength to directly attack the Earth Cave Star.
Now that the enemy has discovered their whereabouts, it's time to break their tail and survive. Under Cheng Feng's "wise leadership", the reinforcements of the Ruixue Group from afar successfully broke through the steel defense line built on the periphery of the Interstellar Pirate Iron Blood City, successfully damaged the interstellar pirates who invaded the Earth Cave Star this time, and perfectly completed the task completed by the senior management of the Ruixue Group. It's just that because these pirates have a close relationship with many big forces in the Earth and Far Star, and their military quality is comparable to that of the regular army, although the outnumbered reinforcements of the Ruixue Group resisted bravely and stubbornly, they still suffered fierce attacks from outer space and the ground, and finally had to choose to retreat.
When he woke up, Cheng Feng had already made up such a summary of the battle to deal with the high-level of the Ruixue Group. Before coming, the higher-ups of the Ruixue Group did not expect this support army to help the defenders of Iron Blood City repel the interstellar pirates. Therefore, it is enough to express it, and there is no need to go to protect the less reliable allies to take their own net worth.
"Leave half of the aircraft to camouflage the Temporary Command, and give them some gifts before we retreat." Without the slightest hesitation, Cheng Feng took the elite of his subordinates, abandoned most of the ordinary soldiers who had infiltrated the defense line of Iron Blood City, and secretly retreated a hundred kilometers. In order to make the camouflage more realistic, Cheng Feng left some of the soldiers in charge of logistics in the temporary command center to serve as cannon fodder before leaving. Of course, Cheng Feng definitely can't tell them directly to let them be cannon fodder, otherwise they will mutiny. As a commander, deceiving your subordinates is a lesson that you must master. Only by successfully deceiving his subordinates can his soldiers fight to the death in a desperate situation, making them think that as long as they work hard, they can survive. But in fact, these soldiers who were left in a desperate situation are likely to be abandoned sons who are used to drag down their pursuers. Therefore, the reason given by Cheng Feng before retreating was to attack a pirate force in the northwest that seemed to want to cut off his retreat.
"Damn, you old fritter is going to run away without saying a word!" Grasping Cheng Feng's real-time dynamics, seeing that Cheng Feng was about to retreat with his elite troops, Zuo Zhe immediately became anxious. This, this, this is inconsistent with your previous layout, you don't add your own drama to a little dragon!
