The lieutenant general looked at Su Hao coldly, as if looking at a prisoner who had been sentenced to death and could be executed at any time.

"Colonel Su, do you know what you're talking about?"

The lieutenant general stared at Su Hao with a vicious look in his eyes, and sneered gloomily: "I know that you are very good at biological research, quite accomplished, and have a unique vision. However, this cannot be your self-righteous capital. As a soldier, you must obey orders, not talk like a mouthful of a mother-in-law. Who gave you the right to call the military column without authorization? Even if the General Administration of Military Transport revises the train timetable, it must also report to the relevant departments of the military department for examination and approval, and only after approval can it be included in the plan. You are really bold, so big that even the Military Department and the General Administration of Military Transport dare to deceive. Do you really think ......"

"General Zhang Guowei, my first objection was submitted directly to you by telex.

Su Hao called the other party by name, and quickly counterattacked in a calm and sharp tone: "At that time, you told me that you also opposed the Hefei campaign plan and were not optimistic about the battle itself. You do not approve of the 184th Army launching an offensive at this time, thinking that it was too hasty and did not reach the best time in terms of time and the state of the troops. And we don't know enough about mutated organisms, and there are many unknowns that have not yet been confirmed...... All in all, when you received the submissions, you said that you would do your utmost to get the Joint Staff Council to veto the campaign plan and stop the offensive. And now...... You actually say such a thing. Huh, that's what you promised me? ”

"I have inquired, and the Joint Staff has never received any objection from me. You didn't submit the paperwork at all. I don't know what kind of psychology you are doing this? Eat one's heart out? Prevaricate? Both ends and ends? Or don't you want to get involved in right and wrong? General, is this the attitude towards the problem? I don't want to care, I don't want to ask, and I promise to my face and scoff afterwards. What do you think the front line is? Are the soldiers on the battlefield a burden that can be discarded casually? ”

Su Hao's gaze was like a sword staring at Zhang Guowei.

From the very beginning, Zhang Guowei was firmly targeted by Su Hao. Su Hao has never been arrogant enough to challenge the entire military department by himself. The reason for stealing the concept and confusing "you" with "you" was just a necessary means in that situation. He wants to make all the generals on the screen feel despised and ridiculed, and in turn induce their anger. Of course, the severity of the provocation is a very delicate action. When everyone focused their attention and anger on themselves, Su Hao would lose no time in directing the topic and targeting it, so that the angry generals suddenly realized that ———— object of Su Hao's roar was not himself, but Zhang Guowei.

There is no hatred between Su Hao and Zhang Guowei, even in the future life, he has nothing to do with this person.

Among the various positions held by Zhang Guowei, one is "director of the Information Analysis Office of the General Staff Headquarters." According to the relevant regulations, if a soldier like Su Hao is dissatisfied with the regulations and plans formulated by the higher departments, or wants to put forward opinions, he must send the report to the information analysis room in the form of written or electronic documents, and after being screened and processed by relevant personnel, it will be summarized to the head of the department, that is, Zhang Guowei, for review.

Su Hao's attitude towards submitting his opinion was very eager, and he almost forcibly connected to the network of the military department, and demanded that his opinion be dealt with as soon as possible in an extremely tough tone. Due to the involvement in the Battle of Hefei, the time was already very tight, and with the background of Xu Renjie and Wang Qinian, Zhang Guowei had to come forward in person to reply to Su Hao's questions.

This incident caused a lot of trouble at the time. Mainly because Su Hao's opposition was particularly strong, he repeatedly asked the military department to deal with it as soon as possible, and at the same time uploaded a large number of deduction data on the campaign plan. In order to increase his influence, he even transmitted his submissions to other relevant and unrelated departments through the public network of the Information Analysis Room. The purpose is to attract more people's attention, so that someone who can speak can be interested in it, and can stand up and say a few words.

Su Hao's approach has undoubtedly increased the workload of the information analysis room. Many people are dissatisfied with this, so they firmly remember a large number of words such as "Su Hao", "Hefei Battle Plan", "Opposition", "Crazy" and so on, which are constantly mentioned and repeated with a high frequency of repetition.

"General Zhang, long before the Battle of Hefei, I explained to you the seriousness of the problem. The success rate of this plan is extremely low, it will cause a large number of casualties, and the entire Southeast Third War Zone may also collapse as a result, and the offensive frenzy of mutated creatures will even spread to the neighboring war zones, causing unpredictable and terrible consequences...... You should know these things better than I do. As you said, you would make my objections public at the headquarters meeting. And now, you're saying that to me? ”

Su Hao's words were harsh and vicious, and every word was as ruthless and accurate as an arrow, all of which hit Zhang Guowei's heart, making him feel a fear that his body was being torn apart.

Zhang Guowei can't deny that what Su Hao said is true.

I talked to him and told him that I was actually very opposed to the Hefei campaign plan, and told him that he would forward the document and that it would be publicly presented at the meeting...... But so what? This is nothing more than a common tactic for dealing with middle and lower-ranking officers. Do you know what politeness is? Do you understand what euphemism is? Do you understand the art of officialdom? If it weren't for Su Hao, your kid sending objections everywhere and making other departments miserable, I wouldn't have bothered to care about these things. I'm a general, if it weren't for Xu Renjie and Wang Qinian's sake, which onion would you count?

However, things are so wonderful, the anger of all the people who was successfully provoked by Su Hao's words a few minutes ago has all been concentrated on their bodies at this moment. Their eyes no longer paid attention to Su Hao, but released mockery, contempt, indifference, doubt and other gazes, gathered from all directions, staring at Zhang Guowei's back and staring at his face.

A chill burst out of his heart, which instantly penetrated Zhang Guowei's whole body. He felt cold sweat on his forehead, so thick and dense that even his vest was wet and sticky to his skin, which was very uncomfortable.

"You...... You're lying, you're ......"

"I didn't lie————"

Su Hao's expression tightened even more. Cold and rigid, with obvious anger and hatred in it, like an ice pick that hangs under the eaves in the cold winter, cold and hard.

"A lot of people can confirm it. They saw me upload documents, they saw the conversation between me and you, General Zhang. I have reminded you again and again that the plan must be discontinued as soon as possible. I've been waiting, but no one has given me an answer. Until now, the battle line has collapsed, and thousands of people have died because of you. They were eaten by mutated creatures, tens of thousands of military supplies were abandoned in vain, and the biological frenzy was about to hit the new Nanyang base city, and the number of dead was as high as hundreds of thousands...... Ask your own conscience, all this could have been avoided, and because of your fucking "art in officialdom", everyone had to bury you ————"

Su Hao's words can be said to be heart-wrenching.

He didn't intend to let go of Zhang Guowei from the beginning.

The defeat of the 184 Army, the fall of the base city of Xinnanyang, as many as hundreds of thousands of war dead...... Someone needs to take responsibility for all of this. Zhang Shengfei, Zhang Wen, and the principal staff officers of the 184 Group Army are all directly responsible. However, Zhang Shengfei had already died in battle, and he washed away his shame with his life and blood. Soldiers who died in battle cannot be desecrated, but the problem still needs to be dealt with, and there must be a person of sufficient weight and status to bear everything.

To put it nicely, it is to take responsibility.

To put it mildly, it's a scapegoat.

This has always been a useful tool in human society. Millions of people are guilty of evils that only one or a few people need to bear. Just like countless people follow the trend and forge false lies, claiming that they can't eat up to tens of thousands of catties of grain per mu. When the lie was exposed, everyone's spit and saliva pointed at the one who stood up in the first place, not even thinking about what role they had played in the farce?

If possible, Su Hao really wanted to pick up the assault rifle and kill all the so-called generals on the screen.

And yet he couldn't, at least not yet. The only thing that can be done is to identify the most important goals and tie them firmly to the word "responsibility".

Doing so is in line with the interests of the majority of people, and it can also ⊥ Su Hao to stand at the height of justice, with a more brilliant image and a clearer outline.

A major general wasted no time in interjecting.

"I remembered. That's the thing. ”

He turned his body to the conference table, his eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly, and his eyes released a sharp gaze, pointing directly at Zhang Guowei opposite: "I have a nephew who works in the information analysis room, and he mentioned this matter when he was having dinner at my place a few days ago. ”

The gray-haired admiral's face looked a little strange. He hesitated for a moment, turned his gaze to Zhang Guowei, quickly concealed his true thoughts with a majestic momentum, and asked in an unquestionable cold tone: "As the director of the Information Analysis Office, it is your duty to report important documents. But why, I have never seen Colonel Su Hao's objections? Deceiving your superiors and subordinates, this is your job? ”

The meaning of this sentence is too obvious. Many of the participants changed their previous attitudes and shifted the spearhead of attack to Zhang Guowei.

"I've never seen this dissenting submission."

"Is that the truth of the matter? If we had seen Colonel Su Hao's objection earlier, the Hefei campaign plan would definitely have been suspended. However, why do I not know about this matter? No one has ever mentioned to me that there is such a document. If there were, my adjutant would certainly not hide the truth and would report the relevant information as soon as possible. ”

The person who said this was a lieutenant general with white skin and a sharp body. Su Hao remembered that he seemed to be the director of the Military Department's Material Management Bureau. When I first submitted the objection letter, I also sent the relevant documents to that department. It is impossible for him not to see the importance of the battle plan, but he is unwilling to admit it at this time. Moreover, the meaning of his words is very clear, and those who can serve as adjutants next to the general are not stupid. They are shrewd and do not need to be reminded that they should be destroying the relevant documents and destroying the evidence at lightning speed.

Standing in front of the screen, Su Hao saw that the director of the material management bureau was smiling at him.

There is no friendship between the two people, and the identities of the lieutenant general and the colonel are very different. The reason why he suddenly showed such a friendly and intimate attitude was that Xu Renjie and Wang Qinian's background played a part of the role, and more importantly, it was Su Hao's counterattack against Zhang Guowei at the moment.

In the conference room of the military department, many people had received the objection submitted by Su Hao. They are also afraid of responsibility, and there are not a few people who use cryptic words to remind their cronies to destroy evidence, like the director of the materials management bureau. Su Hao's previous accusations against everyone made them angry, and then they had a strong sense of revenge.

However, Su Hao changed his words and took the initiative to point the spearhead of the attack at Zhang Guowei and the Hefei Battle Plan. Everyone here is a human spirit, how can you not hear the hidden intentions?

The campaign was lost, and someone needed to take responsibility. Just the remnants of the staff of the 184 Army are clearly not enough. When Zhang Shengfei led the members of the headquarters to make the most reluctance to counterattack, all the generals had already died. The rest are only a few school officials, including Zhang Wen. Compared to the huge number of war dead, the weight of these few people is far from sufficient.

At the very least, a general is needed.

Even if there were no Su Hao's words, the military department would definitely look for those directly responsible and find out the biggest reason for the defeat of the battle. Otherwise, it will be impossible to give an account to the officers and men on the front line, and the majesty and integrity of the military headquarters will be greatly reduced

Su Hao's accusation of Zhang Guowei precisely meets this condition.

The Information Analysis Room is located in a key position and is responsible for handling all classified information that is reported to the Military Department. Su Hao is the commander of the 11th Independent Force, and his military rank and position have reached the corresponding level. Since you, Zhang Guowei, already know that the possibility of failure in the Battle of Ludao is extremely high, and there is still a conclusive objection to the opinion, why don't you report it in time? Why don't you deal with this?

"It's dereliction of duty, it's a crime"

"More than 100,000 officers and soldiers on the front line were killed in the battle, and at least eight divisions suffered heavy casualties. The cascading effect of the failure of the Hefei campaign was very terrible, and it was already very questionable whether the new Nanyang base could be kept...... We have to do something, and we have to strictly investigate and punish those responsible————"

"I suggest that the General Security Bureau and the military justice supervision department immediately dispatch a joint investigation team to investigate and verify the problems that arose in the Hefei Campaign. Dereliction of duty cannot be tolerated, and must be strictly investigated to the end————"

Impassioned voices rang out in the conference room. The tones were full of justice, loud and loud, with unquestionable majesty and indignation. At this moment, it seems that all of them are incarnated as messengers of light, and they are full of emotions, constantly waving their arms, expressing strong thoughts and emotions with exaggerated and powerful body language, angrily denouncing vileness and evil, burning sin with a tidal wave of rage, and firmly nailing all the dirty and lowly things such as meanness, shame, and blasphemy to the judgment table of saliva.

Zhang Guowei was trembling all over.

The facial features on his face squeezed and separated, and his expression couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing? He felt nothing but fear, his heart fell from the clouds, fell into the abyss, froze in a hell full of ice, and was struck by a meteorite that fell from the sky, and smashed to pieces.

The situation is clearly out of control, and it is extremely bad.

Obviously, I reprimanded Su Hao's bastard, why did he suddenly become everyone judging me? No, it should be a criticism.

Me, did I say something wrong?

More and more sweat flowed down Zhang Guowei's cheeks. He carefully recalled everything just now, and found that he had fallen into the trap from the beginning———— yes, Su Hao did not clearly point to a certain person, he opened fire on everyone, but he wanted to stand up and accuse Ling Ran. And then...... The direction of Su Hao's attack changed, and all the bombs fell on him. And those who stood by and watched, you punched me and kicked me at first, and they all treated Lao Tzu as a sandbag.

They, they're going to abandon me and make me a scapegoat

Thinking about this, Zhang Guowei only felt stiff. He could almost hear his brain collapsing, making a terrifying sound of it collapsing from above.

"Lieutenant General Zhang Guowei, please stand up and ————"

It was the voice of the deputy chairman of the military department. He sat next to Zhao Zhikai, an old man who didn't have much hair, was obese, had too many wrinkles and fat on his face, and was always lazy and tired.

His voice swept away the usual ambiguity and fatigue, and appeared energetic and angry: "Lieutenant General Zhang Guowei, please explain: Why didn't you submit Colonel Su Hao's objection in time?" ”

This sentence completely shattered the most regrettable hope in Zhang Guowei's heart.

The other party did not ask "whether there was any such thing as Su Hao submitting an objection opinion", but directly started with "why did he not report it in time".

Their purpose is obvious, and they don't want to give themselves any chance at all. A scapegoat is a scapegoat, and it must be beaten to death with a stick, and absolutely no chance can be given.

Zhang Guowei's face was full of despair, and he struggled to look around, but he didn't see the pity he wanted from anyone's eyes. Those eyes unleashed hatred, hatred, lightness, sarcasm, coldness, and delight. They were all watching the excitement, they all wanted to stay out of it, and they all had the idea of pushing themselves into the pit and burying them as soon as possible.

That's a true———— you're the one who died, happy to everyone.

Zhang Guowei felt that the blood all over his body rushed to his brain, stimulating him to want to roar like a beast, to fight back, to scream and pounce, and to break the necks of these well-dressed beasts one by one.

But in the end he did nothing.

Officials have rules among officials.

If it weren't for the helplessness, they wouldn't be willing to throw Zhang Guowei out.

Zhang Guowei has a wife and a family. If you don't want to be implicated, you must honestly shut up, wait for the investigation by the Security Bureau and the military justice department, and listen to the fate of the Joint Staff Council.
