Chapter 240: Internal Disagreements
The order in the He'an base is much better than what Fang Jin saw in Fuyang.
Although the size and population are far greater than the latter, it should be more chaotic, but the truth is that it is better managed. The open-top SUV was able to move at the speed of civilization on the outskirts of the city, and after about a quarter of an hour, it reached the command building not far from the barracks.
The command building is not very large, only five floors, but there are many professionals and ordinary officials who maintain law and order are busy coming in and out, and the atmosphere is serious and tense.
Obviously, the imminent war outside has affected this side.
Seeing Liu Ming get out of the car, the two military professionals on duty outside immediately saluted him. Not far away, an officer who had been waiting here for a long time trotted over when he saw this, and urged after a dozen steps: "Director Liu, why are you here?" The commander and commissioner had been waiting for almost ten minutes. ”
At this time, he noticed Fang Jin, who got out of the car after Liu Ming.
The stocky officer looked at him curiously, his gaze lingered on the owl on his shoulder, he pursed his lips and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?" ”
"Yes."
Liu Ming nodded and asked rhetorically, "What's the situation inside?" ”
"Enough." The officer sighed and reminded his friend: "Although you forced your way before leaving in a hurry, the quarrel has not ended yet, and there is a lot of resistance to opposition. Even if Commander Hong never expressed his position, it can be regarded as a vague opportunity for the supporters, but I think it is still very hanging. A ...... that doesn't work."
He shook his head, obviously not optimistic about the action that Liu Ming was pushing this time.
Of course, Fang Jin is an outsider, and the officer doesn't care how far he has done in the end. He is worried about the possible casualties and the direct impact on Liu Ming's future future.
"I see."
Liu Ming's expression was a little heavy, but he quickly regained his composure and hurried into the building with Fang Jin and the short and fat officer.
Taking advantage of the time in the corridor on the third floor, Liu Ming found an opportunity to retreat to Fang Jin's side and whispered: "The interior of the He'an base is not an iron plate. There is a great deal of disagreement within the base about inviting you to take command. Later, if you encounter any harsh criticism, I hope you can bear more. ”
"Don't worry, I know it." Fang Jin nodded understandingly.
This kind of thing is indispensable wherever there are human beings.
He will neither remain indifferent to this, nor will he despair of the future easily because of these darkness. In the final analysis, this struggle and self-interest is itself one of the driving forces of human progress, provided that it is controlled within a certain degree!
The conference hall at the end of the third floor!
The door was not closed, and when Fang Jin, Liu Ming and the others walked over, they could easily hear the quarrel inside.
Liu Ming's expression remained unchanged and he walked in first.
The sudden appearance of more people immediately attracted the attention of the committee members who were meeting inside. The original quarrel and even the sound of slapping the table stopped all at once.
Fang Jin also walked in after him.
The conference hall is not too big, only about 200 square meters. The interior is decorated in a rather simple style: a rostrum; a national flag; neat rows of tables and chairs below; More than 30 committee members dressed in different clothes, each with a set of tea bowls in front of them; There is also a shorthand clerk in the corner.
That's all.
Compared with the dozens of executive committee members sitting below, the one who caught Fang Jin's attention the most was undoubtedly the old man sitting on the rostrum.
He is about 60 years old, his hair is a little gray, his face is not angry and arrogant, and he has a strong stereotypical military temperament. What surprised Fang Jin even more was that he was still a professional!
Although the strength is not strong, judging from the faint magic fluctuations on the body, the level is at least four or five levels.
A veteran of the age of a sixtieth birthday can actually participate in such a great change in the end times and become a level 5 mage, which is not rare, at least it is very rare.
"Report to the commander, Mr. Fang Jin has arrived!"
After Liu Ming walked in, he ignored the members who stopped arguing in the audience, and directly saluted and reported to Commander Hong on the rostrum.
Then he officially introduced to Commander Hong and the committee members in the audience Fang Jin, who had been standing there calmly since he came in, and was not at all restrained by his doubts, disdain, curiosity, and disapproval.
"Hello members and commanders of the He'an base."
Fang Jin politely took the initiative to greet Commander Hong and briefly introduced the origin of his name.
"Hello Mr. Fang Jin, in the name of the military and political commander of the He'an base, on behalf of all the survivors of the He'an base, I welcome you." Commander Hong glanced at him with eyes that could not see his true thoughts, and gave a formal welcome speech.
Regardless of their true attitudes, the dozens of executive committee members below applauded in unison out of awe of Commander Hong.
For a while, the atmosphere was quite warm.
It can be seen that the prestige of this Commander Hong should be extremely high, and the entire He'an base is basically under his control. At least not like Fuyang, where there is a big three directly created internally, and there is no one who can dominate the overall situation.
After a brief welcome, Fang Jin was led by Liu Ming to sit on a side seat not far from the rostrum.
“…… Let's move on to the matter of the Flame Spirit. ”
Seeing Fang Jin seated, Commander Hong spoke quietly, which immediately filled the atmosphere in the conference hall with the smell of gunpowder again.
Zhang Chen, the executive member who was interrupted by Liu Ming coming in before, stood up with a swoop and said with a firm attitude: "I still say the same thing, the military must act immediately and stop them far away!" You know, every hour that passes, the Flame Demon Spirit is getting closer to the base. In case something goes wrong in the crusade, let it or its monsters rush into the base nearby, causing serious losses, who will bear the consequences? ”
"It's easy."
A member of the military snorted coldly and retorted angrily: "The last one to go up and fight hard is not our professional?" Lord-level demonic beasts are by no means comparable to ordinary monsters, and the battle plan must be cautious. Otherwise, even if you win, sacrificing dozens or hundreds of bronze-level professionals, it will be a pyrrhic victory at most! ”
Another officer stood up and said in solidarity: "Lao Jiang is right, we are responsible for every professional." And we can guarantee that the lord and the flame creatures it has gathered will never be allowed to come within 10 kilometers of the base. ”
"Guaranteed? What guarantees do you take? ”
The corners of Zhang Chen's mouth showed a hint of ridicule, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Fang Jin, and attacked harshly: "Just rely on the command that Director Liu invited from a small place where he didn't know where in a hurry?" When did our profession fall to the point where we had to hire an outsider to command? ”
As soon as the topic shifted, Zhang Chen's voice suddenly skyrocketed.
The previous dispute between the two factions was actually just an internal disagreement in the final analysis, and no one said that they would not fight, it was just that some people were worried about the safety of themselves and the base, hoping to stop the monster as far away as possible.
But the appearance of Fang Jin has turned the controversy into internal forces and outsiders!
Moreover, the number of people who don't believe him far exceeds the supporters led by Liu Ming.
Before Zhang Chen's words fell, a new committee member jumped out immediately.
