Six people walked down from the teleportation array in Suero City, the first two, one was Bai Yicheng, who was promoted to the second vice chairman of the committee not long ago, and the other was Jiang Yitian, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Intelligence, he was in his early thirties, with a strong figure, and he had a neat air in his gestures, obviously a very efficient person, and like Peng Ziyi, the minister of the Ministry of Intelligence, he belonged to the category of young and promising. This time, because Peng Ziyi took on the burden of spying on the invaders of the empire, the internal investigation was handed over to him. The remaining four are also from the Operations Bureau of the Ministry of Intelligence, led by Tang Feng, who is now the director of the Operations Bureau of the Ministry of Intelligence. This is exactly what Wang Jiyuan mentioned about the committee's investigation team.

The loss of Heimu Pass and the bad news of the defeat of the escort army caused an uproar when it reached Hewan New Town. The Commission considered that a thorough internal review should be carried out in order to avoid possible greater losses. So within a few days, a dedicated investigation team was set up. The members of the investigation team are all elites of the intelligence group, and the team leader is Bai Yicheng, who is old and serious.

Going to a front-line city to investigate such a sensitive incident will undoubtedly touch the nerves of many parties, so everyone in the committee believes that although Bai Yicheng, who is old and popular, is not good at investigation and intelligence work, with his qualifications and status, he can reduce a lot of friction. And it looks like he's in the middle of a largely factionless group, making him an acceptable candidate for all sides.

"Team Leader. Do you think we will take the first step?" Jiang Yitian asked.

"Naturally, I went to meet Wang Jiyuan. This is his one-third of an acre. Bai Yicheng said.

Wang Jiyuan still attaches great importance to the investigation team. Knowing that they were coming, he left his other work behind and met them in the conference room of the Provisional Government.

"Teacher Bai, I've finally waited for you. Wang Jiyuan stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

"Commander Wang, it's not easy for you to fight this time. Bai Yicheng held his hand tightly and said.

Wang Jiyuan led the group to sit down, and then spoke: "This time is my dereliction of duty, and it is also a shame for the guards. We did not expect the enemy to be so strong, and we gave the enemy a loophole, and the losses were really too great. ”

Wang Jiyuan's voice was very painful, and the people in the investigation team also felt heavy in their ears.

"This matter has repercussions in the Hewan New Area, and now there is a sense of anxiety and anger from top to bottom. At the memorial service last night, there was a brawl, and a few troublemakers entered the bureau. Bai Yicheng said.

"Brawl, trouble, are we traversers?"

"yes. A few people said something that was not very pleasant, and naturally there were people who protected you and were not convinced, and then a fight broke out. They are all hot-blooded young people, and they are also panicking. Bai Yicheng said.

Wang Jiyuan looked down at the ground and said softly, "It's not their fault. ”

Bai Yicheng said: "According to me, the previous two years were still a little smooth, and many people really haven't suffered such losses, and they can't accept it for a while." In addition, it is true that there are too many people who have sacrificed our own people, is the exact number now determined?"

Wang Jiyuan said slowly: "Twenty-six of the companions who crossed have sacrificed. ”

"Two more people than last time!"

"Another one didn't survive last night. The remaining wounded were largely contained. Wang Jiyuan said, "These compatriots, plus the local soldiers who joined later, the escort army sacrificed more than 300 people in total. ”

These two numbers silenced everyone in the room, as if someone was secretly saying, "One in thirty." ”

Wang Jiyuan understood in his heart that this naturally referred to the proportion of the sacrificial traverser to the total traverser. This number has tormented him every day like a nightmare for the past two days, how many times has he woken up, hoping that it was just a dream.

There was silence in the room for a while, and Jiang Yitian asked, "Commander Wang, what do you think about this matter within the Escort Army now?"

"There is no investigation into this matter. I'm afraid that the opinions I give lightly may affect your investigative thinking. I don't want to mislead you for any reason. Wang Ji said from afar.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I want to hear what the people on the front line really think. Jiang Yitian insisted.

Wang Jiyuan looked at him for a few seconds, and said: "We think that there is a traitor, and it is he who has received the imperial people who sneaked in, because after we have calculated several times, if there is no internal cooperation, it will be difficult for the imperial people to open the gate of Heimu Pass."

"Is there anyone suspicious?"

"Not yet, it's just a guess, there's no clue to whom. ”

"Then does Commander Wang think it's more likely that the mole came from our team, or did Olgas leave those people behind at Heimu Pass?" Jiang Yitian continued.

Wang Jiyuan shook his head and said, "There are too few clues, it's hard to say." ”

Jiang Yitian rolled his eyes and looked directly at Wang Jiyuan and said: "Since there is no evidence of a traitor, is it possible that there is no traitor, but there is a problem with the defense strategy arranged by those stationed at Heimu Pass, or the response is improper, which eventually leads to the level being broken by the enemy?"

Wang Jiyuan said without changing his face: "I can't simply summarize a big battle with right or wrong strategy. The battlefield is a complex environment, and you never know if a particular response is the best option.

What's more, this time our defense strategy was formulated by me long before we went to Suero. The main executors, Shi Hao, the head of the Second Regiment, and Liu Xiang, the political commissar, both died in this battle. ”

"Xiao Chen, the local administrator, Huang Zheng, the commander of the independent battalion, and Zhang Hong, the senior mage advisor, are still here, aren't they? As far as I know, according to the current structure of the escort force, these people have the opportunity to put forward their own opinions, and even lead part of the work, right?" Jiang Yitian asked.

"Xiao Chen and Huang Zheng were both seriously injured, and the injuries on Huang Zheng's back were very serious, and he still hasn't had a chance to get out of bed. After Xiao Chen was sent back, he was in a coma and didn't wake up until yesterday afternoon. Wang Jiyuan said.

Jiang Yitian said: "That means that they can already be investigated, right?"

Wang Jiyuan looked at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "You can start from the line of the traitor, Xiao Chen and they still need to recover." ”

"While it may be a bit impersonal to say that, both the committee and the public need to get a result as soon as possible. Before we came, we divided the work into two parts, I was responsible for investigating the problem of dereliction of duty, and Tang Feng was responsible for investigating the problem of internal moles. Commander Wang doesn't have to worry, you can concentrate on fighting the Imperials, and leave these miscellaneous things in the rear to us. After Jiang Yitian finished speaking, he glanced at Bai Yicheng, who nodded and said, "That's right." ”
