Chapter 388: Purging and Suspicion
It's still the simplely decorated conference hall on the third floor.
Dozens of executive committee members gathered here, and only when Commander Hong arrived, he could convene this unexpected emergency meeting.
Compared with the year ago, although the number of these executive committee members has not changed much, they have mixed some new faces, and the whole is much younger. If there are people who know the internal forces of the base, they can see at a glance that a large part of the replaced committee members are old men from the military and political sides who originally belonged to the civilized era.
The newly appointed members are more of the heads of professional forces who have only risen after the end of the world.
What such a change means, it is self-evident: the share of forces of the traditional forces, headed by Commander Hong, in the base is constantly decreasing.
Although he can still control the overall situation, his mastery of the base is inevitably reduced.
The reason is very simple, it is not that the people of Commander Hong's faction have not cultivated and won over the newly rising professionals. On the contrary, they have been trying to do it by taking advantage of the dominance of the situation. But the problem is that the traditional decent military background has always made Commander Hong unwilling to give up some persistence.
However, some professionals in the last days have no scruples about enjoying the privileges of power, and do not care even about the minimum of fairness and humanity.
This inevitably leads to a clash of ideas.
In fact, unfettered privileges can only lead to self-decay and destruction in the end. Some factions in the base may not be completely ignorant, but their greed and ambition for profit make them choose to use this to win over professionals, so as to overturn the immutable pattern of the He'an base.
This incident of Gangxi, after the shock caused by the raging rumors, has undoubtedly become an excellent starting point.
At this moment, among the dozens of executive committee members present, many of them secretly exchanged glances with expectations in their hearts.
Finally, when the clock on the wall pointed to the hour, Commander Hong pushed the door on time and stepped into the conference hall. He glanced majestically in the conference hall and sat on the rostrum.
He coughed lightly and, in a loud but slightly tired voice, announced, "The meeting is on!" ”
Everyone is already familiar with Commander Hong's style, so they don't need too much nonsense and go straight to the point.
First of all, the director in charge of the base's intelligence department came up with a brief summary of the bandit incident, and then focused on the various rumors circulating inside the base.
“…… After investigation, it can be basically determined that there is a force behind these rumors, and the places where they are spread are mainly in the entertainment venues and equipment auction houses exclusive to professionals in the base. ”
"Because of the short period of time, the other party deliberately paid attention to covering up the traces, and for the time being, the true identity of the forces behind the scenes cannot be determined, but it is suspected that it is related to foreign professionals."
After almost ten minutes of speaking, the Commissioner looked at the crowd and signaled that he had finished speaking and sat back in his place.
Then the onslaught began.
It wasn't from any one faction, but it was a coalition of almost all factions in the base that were dissatisfied with Commander Hong - even including a few members of the committee who initially supported Commander Hong.
All the spearheads are pointed at Liu Ming, who compromised with the Salvation Guild!
Of course, this is only on the surface, in fact, everyone knows that behind Liu Ming is Commander Hong.
Although the last time the executive committee was convened, Liu Ming's responsibility had been reviewed, and a symbolic punishment was also made. But after the rumors sparked discontent among the professionals, it became clear that the commissioners had the best reason to overturn their original decision.
"To appease the wrath!"
As long as Commander Hong was worried about the thoughts of the 1,500 bronze-rank professionals in the base, and made even one step of concession, they would be able to take advantage of the situation and chase after the palace step by step. Finally, force your way through a war with the Guild of the Savior!
However, these noisy committee members did not see the ridicule and cold murder in the eyes of Commander Hong, who had always been silent.
The meeting dragged on late and never ended.
Then, that night, the base was bloody!
Commander Hong, who has always been reluctant to take the lead in breaking the rules, found that the situation in the base was in danger of getting out of control and was likely to be dragged into a devastating war.
Two hundred military professionals who had been prepared for a long time fought with open fire, arrested hundreds of middle and high-level officials of the base overnight, killed dozens of professionals who dared to resist on the spot, and took down 12 executive committee members in one fell swoop!
The whole city is under martial law for three days!
The whole He'an is shaking!
Even Wu Xing and others, who had already sensed that the situation was out of control, took the initiative to stop creating rumors, and even began to turn upside down to extinguish the fire, were stunned by this completely unexpected purge.
………
With such a big change in the He'an base, of course, it is impossible to hide it from outsiders.
As martial law was lifted, news began to spread in all directions. A day later, Peng Mingzhe and Su Xingfeng, who were stationed on the side of Banditxi, received the news.
Shocked, they immediately began to confirm the authenticity of the news, and at the same time began to report to the base quickly.
It didn't take long for Fang Jin's desk to show the whole process of He'an's cleaning.
"Commander Hong launched a purge?"
After reading the detailed report, Fang Jin, who had just returned from leveling outside, frowned and was silent.
Although he only had one contact with that Commander Hong, the other party still made a deep impression on him. It has to be said that such a decent soldier would take the lead in doing this kind of thing himself, and I have to say that it is somewhat unexpected.
And, regardless of the reason, those who take the lead in breaking the rules generally don't end well.
Isn't that Commander Hong afraid of being attacked in the future......
Having said that, there are rumors surging in the He'an base, which directly involves the Savior's Guild?
He was keenly aware of this.
Fang Jin, who had six more end-of-the-world experience than others, subconsciously smelled the breath of deliberateness and conspiracy.
Peng Mingzhe and Liu Ming almost brewed a conflict in Banditxi, and Fang Jin had already read the report. Although the other party finally took the initiative to back down, it was reasonable, and there was no insult or loss of power at all. The professionals who rushed over for reinforcements didn't feel anything bad.
In this case, such an exaggerated rumor suddenly appeared in the He'an base, and everyone knew it within two days, no matter how you look at it, it looks like someone is pushing behind the scenes, right?
If it weren't for the fact that Commander Hong directly purged and forcibly suppressed the strange voice, I am afraid that he would already be thinking about a big battle with He'an by now.
From this point of view, he really had to thank the old man.
But the question is, who is behind the scenes, deliberately instigating the war between the two countries?
Judging from this purge alone, the internal forces of He'an must have participated, but it was just ......
Fang Jin flipped through the previous report and found a place that he hadn't particularly cared about a few days ago, but now looks suspicious.
The people sent by Liu Ming to deliver the message, but Ma Yuliang, who was ordered to rush to reinforcements, did not receive it!
It was this accident that directly led to the conflict between bandits.
What if, if it wasn't an accident, or if it wasn't a monster attack that killed the Courier?
Fang Jin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
