Chapter 232: The upper echelons
"One of the most wrong things those people did was that they shouldn't have left you behind." Zhao Li looked at Kang Hongyuan, who wanted to speak and stopped, and smiled understandingly.
"Or not!" Kang Hongyuan nodded: "I found that you are a person who kills all those who break your own rules, but when you break other people's rules, you do not hesitate, very contradictory!" ”
"Not at all!" Zhao Li turned his head to look at Kang Hongyuan, and pointed at himself with a smile: "Aren't you the same?" The two laughed at each other.
"You go ahead." Kang Hongyun no longer dissuaded Zhao Li: "I'll go back and wait for your good news!" With that, he turned to leave.
"Old Song, let the people of the Special Operators assemble." Seeing Kang Hongyuan walk away, Zhao Li commanded gently, his tone was very flat, as if he had gathered everyone together, just to have a light meal or something.
Song Yuanming's eyes lit up and he walked out without saying a word. This time, just by looking at the list, you know that it is not a trivial matter, and those guys who have been depressed for a year can play crazy this time.
Li Mengdie and Kristeen naturally rushed over. Zhao Li didn't hide it from them, and handed the list to Kristeen: "You guys and I are going with me to visit General Lucas!" As he spoke, he gave each of the two girls a smile: "I didn't lie to you, there is indeed a big operation." ”
"I don't care what you think of these people, even if you are grateful to Dade, I don't care." Zhao Li stood in front of the assembled team and gave an order to his elite action team of less than forty people: "If you don't want to participate in the operation, stand up now, no one will have any complaints because of your withdrawal, I promise!" However, once you start to act, if you have any other thoughts, you will be seen as a betrayal and will be relentlessly hunted down. ”
"How to choose, it's your business, give you five minutes." Zhao Li threw down the members of the squad and returned to the office by himself.
Five minutes later, when Zhao Li came out, there were still so many people on the scene. Sanders, the guy who forcibly wanted to join the action process, looked at Zhao Li coming out, and laughed: "It's so troublesome for five minutes, you really underestimate our IQ." ”
"Good!" Zhao Li nodded: "The goal that everyone is responsible for must not escape, now, let's go!" With a wave of his hand, the people of the special task force began to walk into the aircraft, and in less than a moment, the battleship was lifted off under the eyes of Zhao Li and the two women.
"Let's go!" Watching Song Liming and them leave, Zhao Li also gave an order, took the two girls to board his own exclusive battleship, and flew straight to General Lucas's base.
"It's all true?" General Lucas took the list and frowned as he looked at the top names. After the surprise, there was a worry that once the evidence on it was not sufficient, it would not achieve the goal of bringing them down, but would startle them and let them annihilate more incriminating evidence.
"There's a lot of evidence in the memory." Zhao Li was given to General Lucas along with the memory. The military and the local are not the same thing at all, even if the means of collecting evidence are unreasonable, as long as the evidence is conclusive, it will definitely be used. Military courts and local courts are also two different places, and the defendant will never be convicted just because there is evidence but it was only illegally gathered.
This is the difference between the local government and the army, Zhao Li doesn't care whether Song Yuanming's methods will be legal or not. The reason is simple: if in a war, an intelligence officer risks his life to obtain information about the enemy, will the commander refuse to accept it because the means obtained are not legal?
"Act with caution when dealing with them." After General Lucas confirmed it, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face. With these evidences, even if these people go to heaven, there is no way to escape, unless they rebel immediately, but how sure are they that they can let millions of soldiers follow them out of the Federation?
"Report to the General, I've taken action." Zhao Li stood opposite the general, maintaining the most standard military posture, and reported loudly.
"You've already taken action?" The general was taken aback: "Are you crazy? "Arrest several commanders of military districts without an order from the military department? Whether it is retired or incumbent, it is a very troublesome thing. As soon as the general heard Zhao Li's words, his head began to go numb. Only then did I remember that this subordinate of mine also had a nickname called Zhao Maniac.
"General, I just ordered my men to arrest those fighters who had retired and were directly involved in the attack at that time." Zhao Li stood in place and explained to the general: "As for those generals, even if I don't take action, they won't be able to run. ”
With a long sigh, General Lucas calmed his beating heart. This Zhao Li always brings himself stimulation again and again, and it is getting bigger and bigger. If this continues, it is difficult to say whether Zhao Li will be scared out of heart disease.
However, Zhao Li's explanation is very reasonable, and the general also knows it. Now the most afraid of escaping are not those political leaders and a few high-ranking officials in the army, but those soldiers who have retired. Those high-ranking officials are all well-known figures, and at their point, unless they rebel, it is impossible to escape from the Federation, and their reputation has become their biggest obstacle. However, those soldiers are relatively troublesome, they are all well-trained guys, and if they quickly disappear as soon as they realize that something is wrong, it is really hard to say, just like those guys in the prison are incognito, there is no way to find out.
The first to let those prisoners catch were these people who carried out the specific task of robbing prisons. Having them is more direct evidence.
"Good." The general also stood up excitedly and patted Zhao Li's shoulder: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a madman Zhao, there has been no movement for more than a year, and if he doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster." Let's go, contact that guy from Thomas right away. ”
The general said that the communication has been completely abandoned. It's not that he doesn't believe in the security line in the army, but it's really that this incident involves too much, not only a few commanders of military regions, their sworn enemies, but also several high-ranking officials in the political axe, and if he is not careful, it will be a big trouble to leak a little news in advance. In particular, it is very taboo for the Investigation Department of the Military to conduct an investigation of high-ranking political officials without authorization.
This is also for the purpose of protecting Zhao Li. Although Zhao Li's goal is very clear, he still has to pay attention to the means. At least, these evidences cannot be thrown out of Zhao Li's hands.
In addition to General Thomas, Zhao Li also met another high-ranking officer in the army, Zhao Li had only seen it in various news and television before, but he had never seen him in person. This person is not only a member of the Supreme Command, but also the number two person in the military department, Mr. Li Liqing. The reason why he was called Mr. was because Zhao Li didn't know his military rank, and he himself only wore civilian clothes.
"You are Zhao Li? I've heard a lot about you, you're doing well on the battlefield, you're a good lad. "Li Liqing is about the same age as General Thomas, his spirit is very strong, and his temperament is very majestic, but he is not so aggressive. When he spoke, he could clearly feel that he was from a military background. The expression is also very comfortable, standing in front of him, as if the sky is falling and you don't need to worry about it, it's a strange feeling.
"Yes, sir! Thank you, sir! In the face of such a character, Zhao Li did not dare to slack off. This may be the backer behind General Lucas and General Thomas, and it is also the number one person in the old prison warden's family who is currently in control of the army.
"Don't be restrained, sit." Li Liqing sat down very easily, and then specially asked Zhao Li to sit down, and then turned to General Lucas's side: "Lucas, summon us so urgently, what's the matter?" ”
"Let's let this little guy introduce you!" Lucas smiled: "You would never think that he hasn't done anything in more than a year, and once he starts doing things, how crazy it will be!" ”
"Oh?" Both Mr. Li Liqing and General Thomas were appetized by General Lucas's words: "It must be crazy to surprise you so much." Li Liqing turned to Zhao Li's side with anticipation: "Show us the surprise you brought!" The famous Zhao madman! ”
Unexpectedly, even Mr. Li Liqing knew his name, but Zhao Li was a little embarrassed. However, he soon returned to normal, then took out the memory, looked up the interface of the computer in the room, and began to talk about what was displayed on the big screen.
Until the end of his explanation, neither Mr. Li Liqing nor General Thomas said a word, asked a question, and just looked at the things displayed on the screen very seriously. After looking for and finishing, more than ten minutes passed, and the two still didn't speak, General Lucas didn't remind, Zhao Li didn't dare to remind and ask questions casually, and several people just sat silently in the room, maintaining this wordless silence.
"Whew!" Mr. Li Liqing exhaled loudly, and then, the feeling of reassurance returned to him again. After exhaling, Li Liqing turned his face to Zhao Li's side, with an indescribable smile on his face: "I admit it now, you are really a madman." His eyes circled around the big screen again, and returned to Zhao Li's face: "I thought that you had been entangled with two beauties from the genius school for the past year, and I apologize to you!" As he spoke, he stood up solemnly and bowed to Zhao Li.
At this moment, Zhao Lidu was a little at a loss, and he hurriedly stood up, but he didn't know what to do. It stands to reason that Zhao Li often deals with people at the level of military region commanders, but somehow, in the face of Mr. Li Liqing, he has always had that feeling of being constrained. Could it be that Mr. Li is also a top master who can be compared?
"Don't be embarrassed." General Thomas was obviously very familiar with Mr. Lee, and when he saw this, he joked: "Even I thought it was like this, so there is no need to talk about them." However, Zhao Li, the beauties of those two genius schools are really good, it is said that you are holding one on the spot, and saying to the other to let her be your little wife, this courage, this means, we will be ashamed of ourselves combined! ”
One sentence made Zhao Li blush even more. However, the nervousness just now was also thrown out of the sky with this little joke. They all know these ridiculous things, and it is conceivable that they usually pay no less attention to their performance.
"Alright, let's get down to business!" General Lucas smiled and completely relieved Zhao Li: "The little guy has already started to act, to catch those soldiers who are acting directly, and we must also hurry up." ”
"Kang Hongyuan, that old guy, do you have any suggestions?" Mr. Li asked suddenly, which made Zhao Li a little surprised.
"No, he just participated in the formulation of the list of the political axe department, and the rest just asked me to be careful not to offend too many people, and there will be no more." Zhao Li answered truthfully. He wasn't worried at all about the people above knowing Kang Hongyuan, and he didn't even have to take the initiative to report this, including the fact that he had recruited so many prisoners.
"Well, it seems that we are going to test our courage and skills." Li Liqing nodded: "Okay, it's been almost two years since the war ended, and there are some positions that need to be moved again!" Lucas, Thomas, you have to prepare your men to take over a military district, and you need a lot of competent personnel. ”
"Yes, sir!" The two generals agreed.
"Leave the matter of the political axe to the media!" Li Liqing looked at the high-ranking political officials above: "Several major media, all of them sent the copied things over, anonymously, and looked at the large number of reports, how can the court reject these evidence?" ”
"Yes, sir!" It was another promise, including Zhao Li.
The evidence of high-ranking officials with political axes was sent to the media, which was an idea, and Kang Hongyuan did it last time. I believe he already knew the way, but he didn't say it, he just wanted to see how strong his backing in the military was, and how bold he was. It seems that Kang Hongyuan doesn't want to stay in the fringe area for a long time.
The efficiency of the military has always been much higher than that of the localities. Overnight, it seems that people sleep and wake up completely different.
The military region where the Hope Galaxy is located directly received an order, and from the commander of the military region down, a total of more than 40 officers above the rank of major general were arrested, and no less than 200 other colonel-level officers were investigated for this reason. One of the generals who was given the order to go to the military region to arrest these people directly became the acting commander of the military district, controlling the entire military region in his hands.
And the next day, before Zhao Li left General Thomas's side, he received an order. The higher authorities instructed the Special Investigation Department of the Military Intelligence Department to enter the Hope Military Region to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
