"I planned for more than a week, spending a lot of manpower, material resources, and hidden resources, but it was easily destroyed by a stinky boy. According to the plan, the 517th Division and the 11th Independent Army will suffer heavy losses, and perhaps they will be completely wiped out. Whether it is Liu Jiangyuan or Su Hao, they must take responsibility for their failures. We can easily deal with them, and even if those bastards in the military department have a good impression of them, they will not be able to be enemies of everyone and come forward to save the two losers. And now? It's all ruined, it's all ruined————

Yuan Hao did have a reason to be furious.

As the planner, Yuan Hao looked forward to seeing the success of the plan more than anyone else.

Personally, Yuan Hao likes Su Hao very much. There are many people in this world who have the same name as themselves, but there are very few people who have the same ability and have detailed vision, way of thinking, mind, and even judgment and control. Yuan Hao was really unwilling to let Su Hao go so easily, he always wanted to take Su Hao for his own use. However, no matter what kind of contact, Su Hao showed obvious hostility. Yuan Hao didn't understand where this strong sense of opposition came from? He always thought that Su Hao was for power, or material, but later found out that it was not. Coupled with the background of Wang Qinian of the Academy of Sciences, actions such as assassination are obviously out of place. The most appropriate way to deal with this is to subtly change the outcome of the ongoing battle and turn it into a wanted sinner by order of the military department.

The appearance of Sibo ruined everything.

He would actually draw the entire plan to Su Hao and Pan. Who knows what's going on in that kid's head?

Yuan Hao didn't know who Sibo was. However, the young boy was very pleasing to the old man. It is said that it was the old man who found the young man and gave him the rank of lieutenant. Perhaps out of a temptation to recruit new recruits, or Sibo's personal desire to perform, he was assigned the mission. However, no one expected that he would disclose the entire plan to Su Hao.

"What's the use of talking about that now? Everything has been done, things have happened, and even remedies have no effect. ”

Yuan Zhicheng leaned back in the chair, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't seem to have much energy, no matter his demeanor or temperament, he was no different from the old man of the corresponding age. However, if these appearances are really used as a yardstick, then it would be a big mistake.

"So what do you say you should do?"

The angry Yuan Hao was like a lion whose prey had just been snatched away. He strode close to the desk, spoke in an even more ferocious tone, and directly omitted the honorifics: "I have lurked forty-one shadows in the Eleventh Independent Army, and now they are all gone." Either missing or killed, all communication was lost. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the old man in the chair slowly opened his eyes and released two shrewd glances from the depths of the countless wrinkles.

"You're saying that all the sleepers who were sent out last time are missing?"

"Eighteen were killed in battle. The rest are all missing. ”

Yuan Hao shouted indignantly: "I have read the list of dead personnel submitted by the 11th Independent Army to the military headquarters. Some of the missing were classified as deserters, and most of them fell into the lair of mutated creatures in the city during the raid. According to the rules: as long as the body is not identified, it can only be included in the missing list. They are actually no different from dead, and they can't use that as evidence to catch that kid. ”

"Missing...... Interesting. ”

An old looking Yuan Zhicheng had a trace of doubt in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the kneeling secretary to leave the room. Then, open the drawer, take out a box of special wild ginseng lozenges, take out a piece and peel off the package, stuff it into your mouth and suck it slowly.

The effect of the ginseng tablets soon became apparent in the elderly. His skin was slightly red, and his spirit was much better than before. Picking up the warm boiling water on the table and taking a sip, Yuan Zhicheng sat down, raised his head to look at his grandson Yuan Hao, who was full of anger, and smiled.

"Why get so angry for a small thing?"

The flame in Yuan Hao's eyes cooled slightly, because this sentence rose again: "Little things? You say it's just a small thing? ”

The old man didn't explain much, but just asked in a kind tone: "You said that Su Hao already has a fifth-order strengthening power, so where does his special physique come from?" ”

Although he didn't quite understand the meaning, Yuan Hao still replied sullenly: "Of course it's Wang Qinian's old bastard." It is likely that the Academy of Sciences has already successfully developed a fifth-order enhancement potion. Experiments related to mass production are underway. ”

Yuan Zhicheng still had a smile on his face: "The 71st Group Army has the new Chengdu Base City as the core control area, together with the two divisions that were just formed last month, how many actual combatants are there in the 71st Group Army now?" ”

Yuan Hao's eyes were full of questions, but he still answered honestly: "There are twenty-eight divisions in total." Six of them were armored divisions that had been reorganized since before the virus storm, nine were light mechanized infantry divisions, and the rest were all infantry divisions formed on a civilian basis. Together with the Army Aviation Unit and the Air Force's Southwest Air Force Formation, which is assigned to them, the number of combatants is about 700,000. Of course, this is a figure that includes the Air Force's ground crews and reserves. Those who had been trained since before the war, who had been armed and injected with fortifying agents. Although it does not belong to the army establishment, it is Xu Renjie's descendant. ”

These numbers are no secret. At least, this is true for the Yuan family, who also holds part of the military power.

"Very good————

Yuan Zhicheng smiled calmly: "Su Hao's military rank is only colonel. If it weren't for his performance in the battle of Lujiang, he might just be a lieutenant colonel. Xu Renjie has a heavy army, and with the huge production capacity of the new Chengdu base city, he can completely organize several more infantry divisions, hand over one of them to Su Hao, and let him become a division commander. But Xu Renjie did not do this, and he even appointed Su Hao as the military commander of the 11th Independent Army after he completed the task of the field hospital of the 915th Infantry Division. As for what happened later, you yourself know very well———— Chen Yanlin found you and said that he wanted to join us, and he himself wanted to send people into the 11th Independent Army to control the strength. Hehe...... Can't you see all this? ”

The flame in Yuan Hao's eyes gradually subsided, turning into a deep and gloomy gaze that was still somewhat angry.

Yuan Zhicheng's voice continued to echo in the room: "You are still young, and you don't have much contact with Xu Renjie, and you don't know much about it. That's an extremely selfish guy with a strong desire to control, and a miser who has to hold everything firmly in his hands and won't let go of a penny. He wouldn't trust anyone easily, let alone an officer like Su Hao who had been promoted from a civilian status. At present, the fourth-order potion has not been able to achieve mass production, and most of the division commanders of the front-line combat units can only inject the third-order strengthening potion. This can go on for a long time. Su Hao was just a school official, and if it weren't for Wang Qinian, it would be impossible for him to get such a strong special physique. Now is not a time of peace, a strong body is the capital to survive in troubled times. A fifth-order potion, a division commander's title, if it were you, how would you choose? ”

Yuan Hao had already understood what the old man wanted to express. Reason told him that it was right, but emotionally it was still a little hard to accept. He shook his head unhappily: "No, this is different......

"My child, don't forget that ———— to accomplish a great cause, you need wise leaders, but you also need a large number of advocates."

Although the old man was smiling, his gaze at Yuan Hao was faintly meaningful: "I have read the report you submitted. Su Hao is indeed a very intelligent and extremely talented young man. This is not surprising. Although peace is what everyone aspires to, in an era when free thinking and individual consciousness are completely suppressed, even if you want to make a difference, you have to accept the harsh conditions and circumstances. I have checked, Su Hao is not a cronie deliberately cultivated by Wang Qinian. The reason why he appeared at the Academy of Sciences was because of the selfishness of a female researcher named Xiao Lin. She originally wanted to use Su Hao as a stepping stone to climb higher, but it was self-defeating and Su Hao entered Wang Qinian's sight. That fat man is indeed more decisive than Xu Renjie in terms of talent attraction and resource investment. Although we started a little late, it wasn't entirely impossible. According to my personal guess, Su Hao's hostility towards you may be because of those things that happened before, which gave him a preconceived impression. It is difficult to ease the relationship, but there are opportunities. ”

"The 11th Independent Army suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Lujiang, and they are currently making corrections in Nanyang Base City. You can take this opportunity to continue to send people to infiltrate, and of course material co-optation must also be carried out at the same time. It is not surprising that there are hostilities and opinions, and there are many examples in history of enemies settling grievances with each other and becoming the most loyal subordinates. Continue to put pressure on him, of course, benefits are also indispensable, and even material benefits can be given. The best thing is to send a few people to contact him, find out what he thinks, and then prescribe the right medicine. ”

Anyone who can become a general is not stupid. Yuan Hao also considers himself to be a smart and cautious person with strong fighting ability. Although Yuan Zhicheng is his grandfather and has a high position, he is still quite dissatisfied with the old man's evaluation of Su Hao.

"Su Hao is just an ordinary person. I really don't know where your affection for him comes from? ”

"Favorable?"

The old man was visibly stunned by his grandson's angry words. In a moment, a big laugh erupted.

"You're wrong, I don't have a good opinion of him at all."

Yuan Zhicheng did not hide his intentions at all, he sat up straight and looked at Yuan Hao with kind eyes: "I have never seen Su Hao, and I haven't even seen his photo." Do you think I have any ridiculous affection for someone I've never met? ”

Yuan Hao's expression began to stiffen.

Yuan Zhicheng looked at him with a child's expression, and said with a light smile: "You didn't understand what I meant from beginning to end." I don't like Su Hao, let alone have a good feeling. Not only him, but also other people who have taken allegiance to us, and I have never felt "friendly" or anything like that. Huh, doesn't that sound shocking? But that's just the way it is. Don't say it's just a Su Hao, even the so-called "cronies" in your eyes are the same in my opinion. ”

"Shocked" can indeed represent Yuan Hao's state of mind at the moment. He couldn't help but open his mouth and ask, "But what are you doing ......?"

"There's nothing to worry about."

The old man's expression was indifferent: "Because we need these people, we need the strength and power they have." Power is a pyramid made up of countless people and matter. Standing at the top, but in a higher position. In order to achieve the decree, it is necessary for the cooperation of many people below. You can use them, order them, and woo them. But you have to remember that no matter how good these people are———— if they choose to take refuge and be allegiant, they will always be a dog to drive. You can smile at the dog, give them food and benefits, and make them feel that the owner is amiable...... But they are dogs after all, and you don't have biological children with a dog, and you don't put a dog on an equal footing with your loved ones. They can be abandoned at any time, and even the best dogs may be slaughtered by their owners and then skinned for meat. That's a contribution they have to make, not cruel or despicable to their masters. ”

"Su Hao is the same. Don't say it's him, even Xu Renjie and Wang Qinian are no different. Now, they have the same qualifications as us. Once you take refuge, it means giving up everything and becoming a domestic dog. My dear child, I wonder if you understand the true meaning of my words. But you have to understand that training people to be dogs ———— is an extremely advanced skill, and the pleasure in it is wonderful, and the satisfaction after success cannot be replaced by any enjoyment. They look arrogant, excellent, and complacent, and once they lower their heads, there is no chance of turning over. This is the fate of dogs, and this is true at any time in history. ”

Yuan Hao was a little stunned. It was the first time he had heard these words from an old man. Of course, Yuan Hao himself is not without such ideas, but he is far from being as crazy as Yuan Zhicheng, using the word "dog" to cover everyone.

"It's scary, isn't it?"

The old man stared at Yuan Hao, and the smile in his eyes was as heavy as a mountain: "You don't have a father, and I don't have a son." There is no second generation in the entire Yuan family, and I don't want to see any of you have an accident. Even if it is Yuan Bin who committed treason, I will try to keep him alive. For one day he will become the master, and the position of the head of the house will arise between you. Dogs, just tools to help us hit the target. If they obey, we will get more. As I said before———— you can slaughter them as you want, but until you achieve your goal, you can't do it for the time being, and you have to win them over. ”

Yuan Hao silently looked at the old man sitting in front of him. He was thin and weak, but he was not as good as anything, but he gave himself a pressure that was taller than the mountains.

"So, that young man named Sibo, his unauthorized destruction of the plan was also at your behest?"

"No, that's an exception."

The old man pushed aside the chair and stood up, stepped on the thick and soft carpet, and slowly paced back and forth in the room: "He didn't know that Su Hao was the commander of the Eleventh Independent Army, and no one had explained this to him when he was assigned the task. It was a coincidence that no one expected. ”

Yuan Hao's eyes revealed murderous intent: "Coincidence? ”

The old man nodded slowly, his expression was calm and quiet, but there was undoubted majesty: "Su Hao once saved Sibo's life in the abandoned city. Both are young people, and it's not surprising that they feel close to each other, which leads to affection, friendship, and even special interests such as homosexuality. If Sibo had been younger and more sophisticated, he would have deceived Su Hao with lies that night. But he was too young after all. Blood and impulsiveness are the most useless waste of young people, and they are also the most precious treasures. Hehe, this kind of behavior is difficult to evaluate, and Sibo did not completely fall to Su Hao. He just repaid Su Hao's favor in his own way. ”

Yuan Hao snorted coldly: "This is the result of your investigation?" ”

"It was Sibo himself who took the initiative to explain. Of course, the results of the investigation are exactly the same as he said. ”

The old man smiled confidently and emotionally: "Two very nice young men. He is very trustworthy, overflowing with love, and has a unique understanding of life perceptions. If it weren't for this goddamn creature war, they might have become friends. ”

Yuan Hao's face was full of dark clouds: "You should immediately order Sibo to be controlled." If he can betray us the first time, there will be a second time. ”

"You're wrong again."

The old man shook his head and slowly walked to the window: "Sibo's life experience is very special, you can't imagine what he has experienced. If you have time to go back, you'd better look at his file. He won't work with anyone but us. No one can win him over, Zhao Zhikai can't do it, and neither can Wang Qinian. Even if the price is ten or a hundred times more generous than ours, Sibo will not waver. ”

Yuan Hao's eyes widened, and the question blurted out: "What is it for?" ”

The old man replied lightly: "Because his surname is "Si". ”

"What about Su Hao? Didn't you say they'd become friends? ”

"That's different."

The old man turned around and said seriously: "Su Hao is on Wang Qinian's side, and Sibo will never be co-opted by him." Friendship is friendship, hatred is hatred, and two different things are not confused. If we look at this matter alone, we still have a lot of advantages. At least, Su Hao's attitude can be shaken, but Sibo is very firm. Perhaps, the latter may win over the former, and Wang Qinian will lose his right-hand man. ”

Yuan Hao was a little surprised, and his eyes became expectant: "Really? ”

The old man looked at his grandson quietly for a long time before he said slowly: "This is not an absolute conclusion, but the possibility is very large, very big. ”
