The content of the message was brief, but only a dozen words.

Once you decide to oppose it, there is no chance of change.

"You should know very well why Su Hao will become the commander of the 505th Group Army. That's right, he made a deal with me with an energy potion. I gave him the establishment of ten new divisions. Under normal circumstances, such a bill would not pass the review of the military department. However, Su Hao's timing was very clever, and Sun Zhan also saw the possibility of reaping the benefits of it. We all want to profit from it, so those new units can turn from the numbers on paper to real existence. I've been waiting for Sun Zhan to make a move, but I didn't expect Su Hao's movements to be faster than that old bastard. Facts once again proved that Sun Zhan was indeed not Su Hao's opponent. And that unreasonable young man also snatched what was supposed to belong to me from me. Just a few hours ago, I saw my chance again to get those new divisions back, and you told me I had to stop......"

Yuan Zhicheng slowly walked in front of Sibo, stood still, and said in a strong tone that was obviously angry, calm and unquestionable: "I have always trusted you. A lot of that trust comes from your father and mother. You said that Su Hao is your mortal enemy, and there is no friendship between you and him anymore. I trust that you will not deceive me, but your actions and facts have shifted from them. Now, you'd better give me a logical explanation. Otherwise, I'll make you pay for it"

There was no fear on Sibo's calm face, only obvious confidence.

He walked over to his desk, raised the electronic screen, and pulled up a document that had been prepared for a long time.

"Your Excellency, this is the monitoring record that I started collecting in October last year and was just compiled until yesterday."

With anger and ferocity, Yuan Zhicheng turned around, glanced at Sibo coldly, and then turned his gaze to the screen.

That's a very detailed form. The time and data listed above indicate that the monitoring content is the relevant records of the air force in the new Guiyang area in the past few months. The records are very complicated, almost down to the smallest detail, and even the information such as the departure and return of vehicles and personnel is not omitted at all

"It's a very troublesome thing to want to have full control of the troops."

Sibo pointed to the screen and said seriously: "For a long time, our infiltration work with Su Hao's department has failed. He is very strict in this regard, I wonder how he used to achieve such an effect. Whoever we insert in any way, under any pretext, will be exposed in a short period of time and then disappear. Those intelligence officers must have been secretly executed by Su Hao. From Lujiang to New Guiyang, whether it is the 11th Independent Army or the current 505th Group Army, Su Hao has always maintained an internal secret advantage over all external forces. ”

Yuan Zhicheng's eyes changed slightly, and he began to put away the killing intent released, and his cold and fierce expression became calmer.

He heard the hidden meaning of Sibo's words.

"Impenetrable? How so? ”

"I don't get it either."

Sibo said frankly: "Minister Sun's actions are mostly on the bright side. Under a legitimate pretext, he sent senior officers several times to take over the 505 Group Army, but was rejected by Su Hao with an extremely tough attitude. The officers who were sent to Lu were either killed or imprisoned, and Su Hao also prevaricated with various pretexts. After the order was given to form ten new divisions, I again sent up to several hundred infiltrators. As a result, they were completely out of contact after the telecommunications blockade in the new Guiyang area. ”

Yuan Zhicheng's expression gradually became solemn.

It was the first time he had heard Sibo talk about these things. For his subordinates, Yuan Zhicheng has always been unsuspicious of employing people, giving the other party the maximum execution authority. As the supreme commander of the entire Northern Theater of Operations, he had too many issues to pay attention to, and naturally it was impossible to focus his attention and focus on Su Hao all the time. Correspondingly, Spiro also needs time to verify various actions and provide feedback.

"I bought off a confidential secretary of the military administrative headquarters and obtained a list of the appointments and dismissals of the officers of the divisions of the 505th Group Army by Minister Sun. After a comprehensive analysis, I found that Minister Sun's control over the newly formed troops far exceeded our expectations. He used methods such as bribery, co-optation, and threats to disperse the control of the entire 505 Group Army to the regimental and brigade levels. In particular, the new 70th and 70th Pei, a close officer sent by Minister Sun, was already serving in a squadron-level unit at that time. From the analysis of some covert exchange intelligence, Su Hao has completely given up control of these troops. Most of his old men left, and less than 20 percent of the 11th Separate Force remained. But under such circumstances, he turned the tables overnight and became the absolute ruler of the new Guiyang region. ”

Yuan Zhicheng's gaze was a little stunned, and then quickly became solemn.

"You mean, Su Hao is secretly hiding and accumulating strength?"

Sibo did not directly answer Yuan Zhicheng's question: "His approach is understandable. It's a time of war, and powerful generals do it. I just don't understand, where did Su Hao get so many followers from? What exactly did he do to maintain the loyalty of his men? I have used a computer to deduce that the success rate of Minister Sun's plan is more than 90 percent. The cronies he sent at that time controlled almost the entire 505 Army. In the military system, orders are issued from top to bottom. Su Hao was able to launch a counterattack under such an extremely strict hierarchy of powers, leading the soldiers to arrest all the officers and recovering the situation in one fell swoop.

"The 505 Army is a newly established unit. The composition of the ten divisions was all new recruits. Most of them are refugees evacuated from the New Nanyang area with Su Hao. Su Hao left the new Chengdu base last year, and it was less than half a year before and after the end of the Hefei campaign. But relying on these people, Su Hao played Minister Sun and us around, and lost inexplicably from beginning to end. ”

Every word of Sibo made Yuan Zhicheng feel frightened.

He began to understand why Silber was sending him that blocking message.

A few hundred officers and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, two fundamentally disproportionate groups. If you want to encompass the former, there are many ways to produce results. Such as money, women, power, and so on. And if you want to win over the latter, the degree of difficulty is undoubtedly much more difficult than the former. Because everyone has a different mindset and wants to get different benefits. The simplest example: spend a hundred grams of gold to be able to get someone's allegiance. But the distribution of the same amount of gold to 10,000 men, a tiny amount, will not have the slightest effect.

In the history of mankind, based on the lowest-ranking soldiers, the methods of imprisoning, torture, and arresting officials have caused large-scale chaos one after another, and they have occurred in almost every historical period.

Yuan Zhicheng slowly walked back to the chair behind the desk and sat down. His face was solemn, his expression was full of unprecedented seriousness, and his cold eyes kept staring at the screen, but the pupils in his eyes kept glancing at Sibo who was standing next to him, extending the focus of his gaze to the window behind him that had been covered by the thick night.

It was already dark, as if it was a distance that could never be touched when it was re-lit.

No one knows the details of the ten new divisions better than Yuan Zhicheng.

Neither the military department nor Xu Renjie gave Su Hao any help. He simply relied on his own strength, based on the incomplete 11th Independent Army, to establish the 505 Group Army. It is no exaggeration to say that the core force that makes up this force is actually refugees. They were trained by military instructors and completed the formation in just a few months. Squad leaders, detachment leaders, and leaders of the lowest combat units were selected from among the refugees.

That's not just a few dozens, hundreds, but hundreds of thousands.

Su Hao actually used these people as the basis to kill all the middle and senior military commanders of the newly organized divisions. Could it be that he is really the savior of all refugees, a leader recognized by all?

It can't be, it really can't be

The word "people-friendly" has been around for a long time. However, it is extremely difficult to do so.

Yuan Zhicheng once tried to appear in front of the public with a more amiable image. At the beginning of the construction of the Xinlanzhou base, he personally went deep into the construction site among the workers, asked for warmth, and solved practical problems for many people.

However, this approach to the grassroots has had a near-negative effect. At that time, there were tens of thousands of grassroots workers at the construction site. Although Yuan Zhicheng raced against time and ran all the corners of the entire construction site within a month, he still only came into contact with a small proportion of workers. Everyone has their own difficulties that they desperately want to solve, and everyone wants to achieve their desired goals through the opportunity to contact with the upper echelons. Increase wages, increase rest time, improve welfare benefits, and slow down labor intensity...... Every time he recalls that time, Yuan Zhicheng always has a terrible feeling of wanting to vomit and being dizzy. He was always surrounded by workers, and countless mouths were talking. There are praises, flattery, and excited rebukes and shouts. Despite the presence of security guards, there was a steady stream of people coming from other directions. The reason is very simple: in the early days of the pro-people activities, Yuan Zhicheng solved the problems of salary and treatment for some people. Others saw hope and felt that Yuan Zhicheng was a "blue sky" who could really help himself and make decisions for himself. Naturally, appeals, appeals, and hopes followed.

In peacetime societies there are strict classes. There are endless things like overstepping the level and suing them. A person like Yuan Zhicheng who personally went down to the grassroots level is simply a rare animal. Of course, people should seize the opportunity to explode all the voices that they would not normally dare to speak.

According to normal procedures, Yuan Zhicheng could have handed over many similar appeals to subordinate officials. However, the claimants themselves did not trust the ordinary officials at all. They appeared outside the base city construction headquarters in groups, asking for a dialogue with Yuan Zhicheng, holding up banners such as "XXX is the people's savior" at the scene, and urging Yuan Zhicheng to meet with him with music and cheers.

The scene was really enthusiastic, and anyone who witnessed the scene would have an instinctive sense of identity, feeling that this was the Qingming ruler who was truly supported by the people.

However, Yuan Zhicheng was not happy at all. He even felt that the pro-people activities that he wanted to go to the grassroots level in the first place were completely stupid and an outright mistake.

Tens of thousands of people live at the entire construction site. Everything that happened here spread out by word of mouth, and more people gathered from all directions.

Not everyone has difficulties to solve. However, human beings have a herd mentality. When I see that migrant workers are in arrears of wages because of the upper-level officials, and the arrears are finally paid, there will always be a subordinate idea of "I also have difficulties to solve". The brain also quickly meets the bits and pieces of daily life, racks its brains to find one or two troubles, and then happily joins the army of supporters and becomes one of the many requesters.

Being able to hold the position of vice chairman of the Military Committee, Yuan Zhicheng certainly has a deep understanding of how to rule the people.

The situation at that time was different from any historical period. Yuan Zhicheng knew that a virus crisis would soon break out in the Dao, and he wanted to use the light of the most reluctant civilization to gain more hope for himself. Because of this, he is not afraid of hard work and takes the initiative to take on a large number of affairs. Unfortunately, the hands-on approach has not had the desired effect. In addition to being tired and sleepy, Yuan Zhicheng did not feel relieved or happy at all.

Man's desires are endless. Seeing others get benefits, you want to get more yourself. The number of civilians crowded outside the construction headquarters did not decrease in the slightest, but increased.

After the last, Yuan Zhicheng could only choose to leave.

He will never forget that day.

When the helicopter landed in the open space of the command headquarters, and the guards were about to board the plane, several rocks suddenly flew out of the crowd. Soon, all kinds of throwables came flooding. In the midst of the stormy attack, there were deafening roars and roars, as well as countless cryes of sorrow and pain, and undisguised invective.

"Bastard surnamed Yuan, why don't you help Lao Tzu?"

"You help others collect debts, help others solve medical disputes, why do you ignore my problems?"

"The officials in the world are all the same, they are all black hearts, black faces, and black cocks. I don't believe in you dogs anymore, you give me to die."

Yuan Zhicheng was completely shocked.

He never dreamed that his hard work and busyness would end up like this.

He admitted that a considerable number of these people living outside the construction headquarters had never been in contact with each other, and they did not know the specific demands of the other party.

I'm just an ordinary person who gets tired and needs to rest. Even a robot would crash if it worked twenty-four hours a day. What's more, solving the difficulties of the people requires dealing with various departments. The hardships and troubles are simply not understood by outsiders.

When he was far away in the office in the capital, Yuan Zhicheng never thought that his decision to go down to the grassroots level to collect the hearts of the people would bring such a serious negative effect.

In more than a month, hundreds of people were contacted.

Their problem was solved, but it caused a cascading effect of tens of thousands of people.

Sitting in the cabin, Yuan Zhicheng covered his face with his hands and wept silently.

This is our people? This is what I want to win the hearts and minds of the people?

They are no longer as innocent as they were in the past. The consciousness of money worship and material supremacy has made them completely forget the past, and their minds are full of the pursuit of desires and interests. I can't get used to seeing others make a fortune, sneering at the pain of others, and I don't want to do anything, but I keep reaching out to the government to ask for this and that......

Among the many people who threw stones at him, Yuan Zhicheng saw a few faces he had seen before.

Those were a few villagers who had a tough attitude on the issue of land acquisition and demolition. Their house is located in a remote area on the outskirts of the city, and the fields have long been deserted, and the rent is only a few hundred yuan a year. It was just two mud houses with wooden beams, and they demanded a huge compensation of 30,000 yuan per square meter. As a last resort, the demolition headquarters could only revise the drawings, and after bypassing the red line of the renovation area, the other party came to the door again and took the initiative to lower the demolition standard again and again. 20,000, 8,000, 500......

Yuan Zhicheng still failed to get the "people's heart" he wanted in the end. After his departure, rumors about him spread around the construction area. Embezzlement, fraud, deception of the public, shady officials, etc...... Topics like that go all over the place. People selectively forget the good deeds he has done, and even those who have been favored begin to question his actions of helping them. I think it's just showmanship. After all, as the old saying goes: "The officials of the world are generally black." ”

After the pain and anger, Yuan Zhicheng completely calmed down.

Having experienced it firsthand, he certainly understands how difficult it is to reach the public.

In the early days of the construction of the new Guiyang base city, Su Hao hardly had any outside assistance, and he could not even guarantee the daily food supply for the refugees and the army. In such an extremely difficult situation, how did Su Hao entrap the refugees? Turn those complaining guys into his advocates?

Just thinking about it makes me feel incomprehensible.

But things happened right in front of him, the 505th Group Army changed its military power overnight, and many arrangements between himself and Sun Zhan completely failed.

How did Su Hao do it?

That's hundreds of thousands of refugees

"We are unable to obtain relevant intelligence from within the 505 Army. But one thing is certain: Su Hao has a strong ability to control the people and the army. This peculiar phenomenon is likely to be related to the propaganda department under him. As a deterrent, the range of activities of the 505 Army must be further limited. I know that many people can't accept this view, but the practice of dispersing Su Hao's department is undoubtedly wrong. If he is allowed to spread his influence, the situation is likely to spiral out of control. When the time comes, it's too late to do anything. ”
