Chapter 176: This Ends (Part II)

Perhaps it was from this time that Bush planned and successfully subdued his first group of cultivators, and also began his career in holding power in the military department. From mastering the garrison of the Beta Star Domain, which is currently the position of General Zhao Qi, then entering the Operational Staff Department, and finally entering the Military Council. In the end, because of his old age, he had to retire and leave the army.

After Bush cooperated with the practitioners, the two associations began to have frequent contact with the military, and some of their members also entered the military one after another. Because of their outstanding abilities and strong advantages over ordinary people, they quickly gained a foothold in the army. The army is a place where the strong are worshipped, and the strong are naturally respected.

After all, these cultivators, whether in terms of experience or personal ability, are not ordinary people who can compete with them, so in some powerful special organs, they are full of cultivators. The military department also discovered this phenomenon and recognized the problem, so soon the legislation from top to bottom stipulated that practitioners could only serve in certain departments, and that practitioners could not interfere in the handling of many normal affairs.

As for why some practitioners colluded with Bush to carry out such a huge conspiracy, there is no chance for anyone to get an answer now. Later in the investigation, something may have been perceived. By the time members of the Executioners' Unit went to his retirement home to arrest George H.W. Bush, he had already committed suicide in his bedroom. Everything became a mystery.

The only thing that is certain is that power and ambition led him to this unnatural path. The fact that he retired without receiving the honorable title of chairman in the Military Committee made the power-hungry old Bush unwilling to take a back seat when his body was still able to support him, and he was always trying to find a way to reproduce the glory of the past.

All the subordinates of the operational staff were promoted when he was in office, and a large part of them were old subordinates who had followed him for many years and were loyal, so his ambition also affected these people. Once the conspiracy of the energy war succeeded, millions of casualties and the entire military council would have to resign under such tremendous pressure. At that time, as long as the subordinates of these centers support them and the power of public opinion, Bush Sr., who is relatively the oldest in qualifications, is very likely to become the head of the new generation of military forces.

Unfortunately, there was an anomaly that was missed - Gao He, as an ordnance officer, he really couldn't attract anyone's attention at the time, but he managed to survive and brought back the energy crystal. The military department finally relied on the energy spar brought back by Gao He to turn the tables in one fell swoop and firmly stand on its feet. As a last resort, Bush Sr. and his family could only throw out some insignificant arms dealers on the periphery that they controlled to divert their attention.

In order to give an explanation to the people as soon as possible and stabilize the military, the military department will also make mistakes, put all the blame on those unlucky scapegoats, quickly quell all the incidents, and can be regarded as giving the people an explanation. However, among these high-ranking military officials who are in the know, there has always been a lingering conspiracy of energy war.

Imagine that there is such a huge cabal hiding in the army, and there are quite a few high-ranking people, whether it is those members of the military committee or these fierce generals who lead the troops, all of them are stubborn and unhappy. Therefore, Gao He's behavior has also received almost unanimous support from top to bottom. Even those conspirators hated it in their hearts, and they had to raise their hands on the surface in favor of the military department's investigation to the end.

Gao He's investigation work was also unexpected by everyone, and at first some people felt resentful about giving Gao He such a high authority, and his own talented people did not necessarily have such an honor. Of course, those who think like this are all people with a clear conscience, jealousy is everyone's natural surname, and only those with ulterior motives will oppose the investigation from another angle.

Starting from the mystery of that formation, there were constantly fresh clues that Gao He inadvertently found out one by one. The head of the emergency bamboo forest, the cultivator in charge of liaison, and even a small kidnapping case can accidentally fish out the big fish of Major General Jones, I don't know if Gao He's luck is good, or Gao He's tracking skills are strong, or those people are really unable to do anything, so they can jump out by themselves, and if they are caught, they will never recover.

When the entire cabal was presented to everyone, everyone was still shocked by the huge secrecy of this group and the many key positions it held. After three months of interrogation and investigation, one by one the lurking guys were found out. Every time one is pulled out, everyone can't help but be frightened, and then they can't help but rejoice.

Now, everyone can finally sit down and discuss something together, without having to be as cautious and restless as before, all thanks to Gao He. Therefore, many times, when it comes to the problem of Gao He, everyone can let it go, and it is really unreasonable, so it is a simple punishment, and Gao He's unbelievable punishment was introduced under such circumstances.

A lot has been discussed, but the most important issues have not yet begun. The entire operational staff was wiped out, and almost all key positions were vacated. Hundreds of gaps, how to fill them? Who here doesn't have a few henchmen who want to push it up? Who doesn't want his subordinates to be promoted and rich, and master key departments? Therefore, the allocation of personnel in this area is the focus of the whole meeting.

However, it seems that everyone is very modest, and after the topic has begun, no one has spoken for ten minutes. When did everyone learn to be so humble? In the end, Mr. Chairman couldn't look past it, so he began to urge everyone to speak one by one.

Since you have opened your mouth, of course, no one will be polite. The tacit understanding on the issue of Gao He just now and the same front immediately seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant, and the scene was filled with swords and swords. Who would let go of this kind of fat that can reach out to the mouth?

There are hundreds of vacancies, and even if everyone averages it, there can be dozens of places. However, at this time, there is one more one, and this kind of enclosure movement led by the chairman is just and bright, why not do it. It is the best thing to be able to get the most out of your own people.

The heated quarrel lasted from noon to the afternoon of the third day, and there would be several different candidates for each position, selected one by one according to seniority, merit, ability, and loyalty, and everyone would vote by a show of hands. Fortunately, in addition to the extremely fierce competition for the positions of a few big heads, everyone else still has a relatively tacit cooperation, and almost takes care of them one by one in an even way, and in the end, it can be determined that at least more than 400 middle and senior officers will be further promoted.

The highest-ranking military is of course Lieutenant General Jordan, who replaced Admiral Grace, and this cadre, who has always been in General Zhao Qi's group in the Beta Star Domain faction, has obtained this position strongly. And General Zhao Qi's group has also become the biggest winner of the spoils sharing conference because of this biggest fruit.

It is undeniable that the current situation is inseparable from General Zhao Qi's unyielding support and insistence on investigation, so it is normal for him to get the lion's share. Overall, everyone got so many benefits out of thin air, and they were very happy from top to bottom.

The purge within the army not only provided a great deal of benefit to the military, but also the fall of some rebellious enterprises on the periphery, whether they were rich or rich, also provided a very good opportunity for those who had always supported the victors.

The collapse of the tree, which is dependent on the military, is unlikely to be spared by these private enterprises. Since they don't have the fat Hans who can gain a foothold in the military without relying on anyone, and the military sometimes has to look at the toughness of his face, they naturally can't avoid being purged by the pond fish. The benefits gained in this regard are even more incalculable.

Not only that, but the investigation found at least two habitable and immigrant planets that were detained by Bush Sr. and not reported, and those people had already set up ready-made bases on them, as long as they sent a fleet to receive them. Most of the defenders stationed there were loyal soldiers who had been transferred directly by the Operational Staff without knowing the inside story.

In the takeover of these planets, everyone unanimously put forward the demand to pay attention to safety, and even to exercise restraint when necessary, even if it is a kind concession, to ensure that the tragedy of Gao He is not repeated.

The media's response is naturally dealt with by the military's propaganda department, and how to explain it depends on their level, but it won't be rubbish when you think about it. Of course, this kind of good deed of eliminating internal tumors for the benefit of the army and the people must be publicized in a big way, and it is also an opportunity for them to show their faces. Even the inspection department has become energetic because of the arrest of so many heavyweight prisoners, and everyone is in good spirits.

Only one last question remains, should the current investigation continue? When the discussion began, there was still a cold scene in the meeting a few days ago, and no one spoke.

No matter who is present, it is clear that although all the doubts on the surface have been explained, many things still cannot be clarified and confirmed. In other words, no one is sure whether Bush Sr. is the real mastermind behind the scenes, or whether he was thrown by the real black hand with smoke bombs. It is even quite possible that the conclusion now drawn is only the latter.

Also, if you continue to investigate, who knows who will be involved? Perhaps the members of some of the military committees that are currently in session, as well as the terrible consequences that may be caused to the entire human society by making a desperate attempt to break the net after the conspiracy is revealed, no one has to take into account. It's all speculation, but who knows?

"I suggest that the camel also keep his special documents for ease of doing things. But for the time being, we will not conduct an investigation! After being silent for a long time, General Zhao Qi broke the silence and used the special certificate of the camel to express his meaning. Keeping the documents shows that this matter is not over here, and Gao He still has a deterrent effect on those conspirators. However, not conducting an investigation for the time being can be regarded as a compromise in some aspects in disguise. Perhaps, ending like this will be good for everyone, depending on whether those people are interested. Politics, that is, these struggles and compromises.

No one objected to this fact and acquiesced. Some people just wanted to suggest that this was not very appropriate, but looking at the faces of several members of the Military Council, they all swallowed their own words in their stomachs.
