"How?" Cheng Wei immediately asked.

Instead, it was Yuan Yi's turn to be dumbfounded, and he couldn't help laughing: "I just said it casually, you actually took it seriously?" Please, brother, I'm not going to be a lieutenant who was assigned to a remote island in the open sea, and people are soft-spoken, and this kind of joke is probably only believed by you. ”

But Cheng Wei didn't feel funny at all, and said seriously: "Yes." ”

"What's there?"

"Someone who thinks you're going to make a comeback."

Yuan Yi restrained his expression for a moment, because he knew what Cheng Wei was talking about.

Thinking back to the beginning, when Yuan Yi launched the seven-day coup, it was naturally not just his own troops, otherwise even if he had that opportunity, it would definitely be impossible to suppress the scene, and the reason why it succeeded was because Yuan Yi still had a group of quite fanatical supporters at that time.

Most of these people were colleagues who had been on the battlefield with him, and they admired his generals very much, especially young officers who held deputy positions in the open coastal defense line and did not rank high. There is no other reason, because only these people will deal with Yuan Yi and dare to do such a crazy thing, and they still have a heart of self-denial and enthusiasm in their hearts to do something for this country, so as soon as Yuan Yi called, they all responded, even if they looked forward to the future, they did not betray them, they just retreated and did not help each other.

I have to say that in that situation at that time, if you concealed it and didn't say it, it was equivalent to covering up, and you were convicted of the same crime, if you don't believe it, just look at Cheng Wei.

And it is precisely because of the help of this group of people that Yuan Yi finally completed this bold and reckless thing to the extreme, which is completely impossible in the eyes of others.

The evaluation of Yuan Yi that is now circulating in the upper echelons is roughly divided into two types.

One said that he had the opportunity to be Cao Cao, but he lacked Cao Cao's courage, since he had done this kind of unsuccessful business, then he would be black to the end, and he would be a traitor, but in the end he actually retired stupidly, which is simply unreasonable.

There is also a fundamental denial of Yuan Yi, thinking that he is young and vigorous, and he did it with a hot head without thinking about the consequences, but he even left the shit and let him succeed by mistake, and he naturally had no surprises after he succeeded, because the ensuing fear and the mess that took over scared this hairy boy who didn't know the severity of the matter, and finally had to listen to his Lao Tzu's persuasion to retire, and he had a small life. This kind of evaluation is surprisingly large among the middle and lower echelons of the navy, who insist that Yuan Yi could not withstand the pressure of the commanders in the open sea and had to retreat.

But please, if Yuan Yi is really as unbearable as they think, and can succeed in Yanjing, where a large number of elite troops are stationed, you should be the sixteenth guard? Well, as a friend, Cheng Wei was indeed waterproof at the beginning, but what about the remaining fifteenth route troops?

And don't forget, who beat the mother of a few guards near Yanjing who threatened to kill him didn't know it, and obediently became a prisoner, isn't this how the hatred of General Bach, the supreme commander along the eastern route, accumulates? They didn't use their brains to think about it, where did the troops who supported Yuan Yi come from, they were all troops drawn from the border and coastal areas, and the remaining commanders who were stationed dared to turn back, did they want the coastal defense line?

It can be said that as long as the iron-fisted queen who guarded the south did not move, the game of chess would be settled.

And even if the iron-fisted queen moves, there is a defensive layout near Yanjing, and Yuan Yi sits in the naval headquarters to wait for work, and the victory or defeat is only five or five, okay, even if Yuan Yi loses in the end, then the person in charge of the Asian League will only change from him to another person's head, but the title of queen is really going to be confirmed.

However, the reality at that time was that the queen did not even have a single message, and all the letters for help sent by the headquarters to the south were all muddy into the sea.

This is the attitude of the powerful generals of the frontier, which can also be said to be the attitude of the "princes".

Some people may not be happy that Yuan Yi is so high-profile, but these frontier guards know Yuan Yi's difficulty and strength better than the people in their headquarters, and they just seek humiliation by rushing to go, and Lieutenant General Rhodes, the toughest war maniac on the Western Front, does not move his troops and does not talk about sending troops to rebel, and the most authoritative General Bonaparte on the Northern Front is "calm down and don't be impatient" one by one, "Think about it in the long run." ”

Just kidding, isn't the fate of that guy Bach already there, they can't afford to lose this guy at their age.

However, they also have their own calculations, and they don't move on the surface, but they have begun to contact others in private and gather troops together, but before they can discuss a countermeasure to make a difference, Yuan Yi suddenly announced that the sins have been removed and the authority must be returned, and the martial law and arms of Yanjing are quickly lifted, and then the marshal's mansion is bound to ask his Lao Tzu for his guilt.

This result was a big surprise, and several powerful generals in the frontier picked up the telegram and read it over and over again: "Could this be the conspiracy of Yuan Yi's kid, deceiving us into thinking that he has relaxed his vigilance, and then taking the opportunity to kill us?" ”

As a result, when this group of bigwigs received the next request for them to go to Yanjing City to discuss how to deal with Yuan Yi, they all chose to ignore it.

Do you really not know what the Hongmen Feast is?

Don't go, don't go.

In the end, it was the officials who had been released from house arrest who were released and brought back letters with the stamps of the three cardinals of the naval command (the three highest power departments of the naval command, the Military and Political Bureau, the Third Guard, and the Supervision Department) that made these bigwigs reluctantly believe that Yuan, who had gained power and almost overthrew the regime, had really become a prisoner.

But these bigwigs really can't understand Yuan Yi's motive for doing this.

It is also true that if it were not for a deep understanding of Yuan Yi as a person, ordinary people would not be able to understand Yuan Yi's painstaking efforts. They only thought that Yuan Yi had no brains and little responsibility, but they didn't know that the situation was actually the opposite.

First of all, Yuan Yi was willing to retreat bravely because his own goal had been achieved, and he completely uprooted those rotten and filthy moths hidden in the upper echelons of the naval command to suck blood, half of them were for public intentions, and half for revenge for killing his wife.

If Yuan Yi was really as soft-hearted as they said, he would not have cut off all those who were found guilty, and none of them would be left.

Speaking of the old incident of the blood-stained headquarters, at that time, Yuan Yi cut off at least more than a hundred heads from top to bottom, and from the amount of resentment he has gained now, you can know how frightened the high-ranking officials and generals who were under house arrest in disguise at that time were afraid in their hearts.

Moreover, Yuan Yi's approach is also controversial, because he directly bypassed the trial of the third trial guard, and even if the evidence of his example sentences is reasonable, others will think that he is using lynching.

There is no other reason, because evidence can be forged, otherwise what else would it take to try and check it three times?

And Yuan Yi's approach is that once there is evidence to confirm the charges of those people, then kill them directly, there is no nonsense to say. The common people outside must not know these things, but for the navy, this madman's approach is simply mad.

But Yuan Yi knew very well that he had to do this himself, he didn't do it in vain after more than a year of forbearance and silence, he had already had an in-depth understanding of how corrupt these people were, if they were handed over to the judicial organs, most of them would turn big things into small things, and in the end, the group of people who started with him were killed.

And he doesn't have much time, if it drags on, he must hold on to his authority, although Yuan Yi has soldiers and is not afraid of anyone's challenge, but the problem is that the Asian Union can no longer withstand the consumption of a civil war in the years of war. Yuan Yi is not stupid at all, but more sober than most people, he knows that he must cut through the chaos quickly, and constantly suffer from it.

At that time, Yuan Yi's idea was actually very single, Lao Tzu was cheap, and it was worth killing so many of you. However, for those who have helped him, Yuan Yi wants to protect them, which may be the only place where Yuan Yi can be called soft-hearted.

They still have the tiger skin of "eradicating the corrupt and criminal elements within the navy", but once the civil war starts, the nature will completely change, so he must retreat.

Fortunately, these people who got into trouble with him are all young and promising, and without them, the commander of the navy is likely to break the line, plus they themselves are the people stationed on the edge of the Asian League, and they have a relationship with those bigwigs along the line, among them is a guy named Luo Cheng who is the younger brother of Vice Admiral Rhodes, and the apprentice of Admiral Bonaparte on the northern front accounts for three of them. So in the end, the naval command had no choice, they all were demoted and retained, and then let them go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

This matter was in Yuan Yi's calculations from beginning to end, the only thing that surprised him was that he thought he would die, but he finally survived the trial of the third guard, although the rank of colonel on his body at that time, the title of "hero" was swept to the end, and he became a fart-like lieutenant (the rank of lieutenant is the smallest rank among the admirals outside), but he finally survived.

Yuan Yi naturally didn't understand who he should be thankful for, and it was indeed his responsibility to look at the decline of the Marshal's Mansion now.

I don't know how the old man's body is now, is it okay?

Yamato and the eldest brother's words should already hate themselves to the bone.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and forced himself to focus his attention on the topic that Cheng Wei said just now. He had a thousand clues, but he only had one sentence: "It's been a year, who knows, maybe everyone is blaming me." ”

Cheng Wei looked at him, but when he thought of the crowd here, he still couldn't hold back what he wanted to say.

"If you're not here for this, then why did you come?"

Yuan Yi took out a crumpled official letter from his pocket and read it pretendingly: "On June 3, a graduation job fair will be held in Qiuhuan Square to assign attribution matters for the new ship's mother......"

"You're here for this?" Cheng Wei's face was full of surprise: "I thought it was ......"

"Of course, what do you think it is?" Yuan Yi interrupted him and smiled slightly, but his eyes stopped at the second half of the official letter, about the place where the honor ceremony was held on the 5th: "Don't worry, since the old man told me not to interfere, I just need to watch the play quietly next to me."
