Chapter 111: The First Fire

The size of the army in the era of interstellar exploration has far exceeded that of the land age. In the land era, the number of a field army was at most 100,000, but now, the 333rd Army of the empire has a total strength of 12 million, and Jiang Wei's Langya Independent Regiment does not have a division headquarters above it, but it is a corps directly under the 333rd Army Department, with a total strength of 350,000 troops, divided into five battalions,

Ding Hou's reconnaissance battalion has a total strength of 30,000 troops, and is mainly responsible for detecting the enemy's military movements, monitoring the area of combat operations, ensuring the safety of marches in wartime, and conducting special operations behind enemy lines.

Jodoch Johnson's battalion is a marine arms unit, with a total of 110,000 soldiers from various mechanical companies and army soldiers, which is the largest battalion, mainly responsible for the land defense mission on Huayang Star.

Wu Jingyu's second battalion is mainly responsible for patrolling the surrounding star fields, and there are three Eagle-class interstellar warbands, with a number of 100,000 people and more than 1,000 large and small interstellar warships.

Vaughantoby's three battalions are mainly responsible for the supply transportation and coordinated operations of the entire independent regiment, the arms are relatively even, there are some in each service, although there are only 40,000 people, but it is undoubtedly the most important, after all, the supply of the entire base depends on them.

Rosie Jones's Violet Mecha Squadron is the smallest in number, only 20,000 people, but in terms of combat effectiveness, their squadron is undoubtedly the strongest, with more than 8,000 mecha pilots in the entire squadron, more than 5,000 mecha drivers of various types, and more than 12,000 other maintenance personnel.

As the supreme commander of Huayang Star, Jiang Wei's security work is undoubtedly important, and a team of 10,000 people is specially responsible for guarding the regiment headquarters and protecting his safety, and guard captain Zhao Long also made a special trip to make a specific report to him yesterday.

Jiang Wei, who had just finished the call with General William Kelman, stretched his waist, and smiled bitterly when he thought of William's teasing, William Kelman congratulated him on his promotion on the phone, and asked him to give the surrounding small countries a little color to see, Jiang Wei really wanted to do this in his heart, but the reality did not allow it.

Although William Kaiman is only a division commander, his military rank is the same as Ning Liheng, Major General, the reason is very simple, his division is a mecha division, and in terms of military status, it is much stronger than a field army.

"Hubble, what's wrong, sad face, pay attention to rest."

Seeing Hubble with two big dark circles under his eyes, Jiang Wei patted him on the shoulder.

"Commander, I've run all the warehouses from yesterday to now, and I've found something wrong."

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"Yes. First of all, there is no problem with the weapons and equipment from above. But the military materiel that belongs to our regiment is a bit problematic. ”

Hubble glanced at him, and seeing that Jiang Wei was listening very seriously, he continued:

"I looked at the purchase list, and the prices of rice, noodles, and oil on the top were outrageous."

Jiang Wei smiled faintly, he knew very well that there was a lot of greasy here, Wang Dongliang also told him, for example, the original price of rice was 2 star yuan a catty, and they sometimes filled in 2.5 star yuan to collect rebates from merchants, which is not a small number, but most of these rebates are used as small coffers in the army, and occasionally give benefits to soldiers and the like, he understands this.

"And the price is very outrageous, twice as high as the normal market price, and the most serious thing is that it does not match the private accounts in our group."

Hearing his words, Jiang Wei's face suddenly sank, and it didn't match the small treasury in the group, which meant that this part of the money was greedy, not for the welfare of the brothers, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hubble was in the quartermaster department yesterday he also encountered the same Ma Wei, several deputy positions in two people did not cooperate with his work at all, after all, he is under his age, but he was born in a political family, how could he be afraid of this group of old birds, immediately use the authority of the first leader, adjust the division of labor, and those who are not satisfied are all assigned to the warehouse to squat, the army does not need to be like that in the government, but also to talk about democracy, the commander's order is absolute, last night he went through all the accounts, until now he has not slept, and found this problem directly reported to Jiang Wei.

"Maria, call Zhao Long over."

"Yes."

"Tuanza, what do you command?"

Zhao Long stood straight in place after saluting, generally speaking, when a new officer takes office, the captain of the garrison will generally be replaced by his own person, he is ready to be transferred back to the military region to sit on the cold bench, after all, his old chief and former regiment commander were injured and transferred away from the front line, but he didn't expect Jiang Wei to not remove him, but just asked him to negotiate with Adjutant Maria to arrange his own security work, which made him extremely excited, he naturally has his ambitions, and he doesn't want to go to the office to retire at a young age.

"You transfer a small team of men and horses, and Hubble go to check the accounts, no matter who is involved, I will be arrested."

Zhao Long heard the words of the young man in front of him, and his heart was apprehensive, he knew very well that the quartermaster department was greasy, and his old leader had also tried to investigate and deal with this matter, but he encountered great resistance, he thought for a moment, his heart was crossed, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Guaranteed to get the job done. Captain, I have something to report. ”

Looking at his complicated face, Jiang Wei understood that he was going to tell him some inside story, and nodded,

"Say."

"Yes, over there in the Quartermaster Department, the water is very deep, and the children of the high-ranking leaders of the 66th Group Military Region are involved in this matter. The previous head of the regiment also tried to change the status quo, but as a result, there was pressure from above, so he had to give up. ”

"Well, I know, do what I say, no matter who it is, get it back for me."

"Yes."

Ding Hou, Qiao Doc, Wu Jingyu, Vaughn, and Rosie sat in the conference room, looking at the young man on the main seat, secretly surprised in their hearts, sure enough, it is not a dragon but Jiang, this Jiang Wei is not afraid of heaven and earth, and the first of the three fires of the new official was burned to the quartermaster's office.

"Commander, it's better to be careful about this matter, these people are not easy to mess with."

"If it's not easy to provoke, you have to provoke, isn't it just a few second-generation soldiers, what are you afraid of, why is the money of our regiment taken away by others, and can't you give out benefits to your brothers?"

"Regiment commander, don't get me wrong, this matter is not only the children of those high-ranking cadres in the military region, but also the magnates in the imperial capital, in case ......"

Ding Hou and they are actually helpless about this matter, there is an example of the previous regiment commander being deflated, and he was in charge of reconnaissance last time, so he knows the inside story better.

Jiang Wei waved his hand and said very calmly,

"Battalion Commander Ding, I didn't say it, I looked at the welfare of our team just now, it was a mess, and the soldiers also complained a lot about it, you just have to do it, and I will fight if something happens."

"Commander, what do you want to find?"

Wu Jingyu probably also understood Jiang Wei's character, and asked directly.

"Check it out."

He said firmly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the leaders of several military regions to call and plead for a few people from the quartermaster department, but Jiang Wei was unmoved, and he still caught what he should have arrested, and he didn't let go of anyone, which disturbed the nerves of many bigwigs.

Through the investigation of the past two days, the matter gradually became clear, Hubble reported all the situation to him, and handed him a list of the merchant groups that provided daily supplies, at this moment, Jiang Wei was carefully looking at the information sent to him by Aganesi, which densely recorded those merchant groups that had something to do with the senior leaders of the 66th Military Region.

"Regiment commander, the request we submitted for the replacement of routine equipment was rejected by the Military Region Equipment Department."

Rosie Jones walked into his office, looking annoyed.

"They're a** naked revenge, a bunch of bastards."

Looking at the scolding Rosie in front of her, Jiang Wei smiled slowly, although she looked very sweet and was only twenty-seven years old, she was obviously a veteran oilman, and she didn't care about scolding people, which formed a huge contrast with her beautiful appearance.

"It seems that this group of people is just a little bit of ability, don't worry, they will send it themselves."

Rosie's beautiful eyes rolled, and she looked at Jiang Wei in surprise, what does this mean?

"Maria, inform the battalion commanders to come to the meeting."

"Yes."

Jiang Wei and Rosie sat in the conference room drinking tea and waiting for the other four people, Rosie was very curious, what could the young man in front of him do? How dare you boast of this kind of Haikou?

After Ding Hou and the other four arrived, Jiang Wei opened the star field map, pointed to several places on it and said:

"Battalion Commander Wu, tonight the cargo ship of the Mandev Chamber of Commerce will pass through Guò here and intercept him for me."

"Yes."

Wu Jingyu's heart jumped, these five people were also full of surprise, you must know that the Mandev Chamber of Commerce is one of the top ten chambers of commerce in China, and the relationship within the empire is intertwined, and it has some relationship with the heads and brains of all parties.

"Commander, this?"

Ding Hou was a little nervous, it was too much of a move. He was also afraid that Jiang Wei would not be able to withstand the pressure from all sides.

"At the same time tonight, Jordok, you confiscate all of the Mandev Chamber of Commerce's warehouses in Huayang Star for me. That's an order. ”

"Yes."

Looking at the slightly uneasy expressions of several people, he shook his head,

"Don't worry, what, do you have anything to do with the Mandev Chamber of Commerce?"

Jiang Wei is naturally very aware of the details of the five people in front of him, and the ability to defy the sky on the Guò Aganesi Network, he checked these five people to the bottom, and all the financial situations are clear, otherwise he would not have called them all to a meeting.

"Absolutely not."

The five of them said in unison, although they didn't know why the young man in front of them was so confident, they knew very well that Jiang Wei would not be so confident if he didn't have his own hole cards.

"Alright, I'll invite you to dinner tonight and act together in the evening."

At 22:15 in the evening, the starfleet of the second battalion of the Wolf Tooth Independent Regiment intercepted the cargo ship of the Mandev Chamber of Commerce in the eastern area of Huayang Star, on the grounds that it was suspected of selling prohibited items, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire court, Jiang Wei, a teenager who had just been in office for less than a week, once again entered the sight of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China.
