Chapter 365: The statement of the two-star general
The person the generals looked at was Sun Xueguang, the chief of staff of the Dwarf Star Planet Fleet.
Some time ago, Sun Xueguang was only the deputy chief of the general staff, and he had just been promoted after the start of the 65-star sector campaign.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Sun Xueguang was depressed in his heart.
He was the newly promoted chief of the General Staff, and although he had a position, he had not yet risen in rank. In this room, it is the newcomer who is at the bottom.
In addition, Li Mu, the protagonist of this meeting, is the son of Li Xuantong, and the grievances with the director of their Proxima Centauri are well known.
Under such circumstances, if Chief of General Staff Sun expresses his opinions, whether good or bad, it will inevitably arouse criticism. So the smartest way, of course, is to keep a low profile and not say a word from beginning to end.
But low-key is useless, and it is inevitable that it will be involved.
"Commander-in-Chief He. Sun Xueguang coughed and said, "Although the kidnapping of Qin Hongyu is still under investigation, there is no evidence that it is related to the 65th Star District. ”
Sun Xueguang did not speak for the 65 Star District, but for the Ren family.
He Xianzhong's words couldn't be clearer, the reason why Li Mu kidnapped other people's wives in the 65 star area was because his mother was kidnapped before. Even if a hostage crisis is set off because of this, it will be the first shot shot by others.
Who the person who shot the first shot was, although he had not turned it out explicitly, everyone knew it.
Now He Xianzhong is pointing the finger at the 65 star area, which seems to be helping the Ren family get rid of it, but in fact, this is the most poisonous point.
Everyone knows that the kidnapping of Qin Hongyu was done by the Ren family, and if they forcibly get involved with the 65-star area, it is tantamount to saying that the Ren family has colluded with the 65-star area.
There are many kinds of collusion, and some look dangerous but are actually fine. Like the Ren family and Proxima Centauri Liu Shanwei ambushed Li Xuantong, regardless of the evidence or anything for the time being, the incident alone is not as serious as outsiders seem.
Because no matter whether Li Xuantong dies or not, the Federation will not have actual losses. It can even be used as an opportunity to launch a military operation against the 65th Star Sector.
Even if this matter is turned over in the future, the Ren family can use a lot of rhetoric to quibble, and the most serious thing is to push a scapegoat out, which will not cause the disaster of endangering the survival of the family.
However, the nature of this kidnapping incident is different, and the deep-seated impact is not just the kidnapping of one or two people.
Just like Huang Yuanji said, Li Mu can tie people around in the 65 star area, but the other party can also retaliate. Among the generals present, except for He Xianzhong, the families of all of them may be targeted.
Moreover, it is not only these people here, once the news spreads, panic will spread in several star areas.
When the time comes, Li Mu, the implemover, will be unable to escape the blame, but as the "initiator" of the Ren family, don't want to please him.
"It's really related to the 65th Star Zone, and there's already evidence. He Xianzhong said: "It's just out of the need for confidentiality, and it has never been made public." ”
"Where's the evidence?" asked Sun Xueguang.
"Why did you tell you?" He Xianzhong squinted.
Sun Xueguang subconsciously shuddered.
He was already very afraid of this two-star general Xiong Ming, and he was a thief with a weak heart, so he didn't even dare to look directly at He Xianzhong's gaze.
However, no matter how scared he is, Sun Xueguang can't retreat.
The reason for his public promotion was that the former chief of the general staff of Dwarf Guangxing was ill and could not participate in this war, so Sun Xueguang was promoted in the firing line. But in fact, everyone knows that this is because of the meaning of Ren Jizhong, the administrator of the dwarf star planet.
Although the old chief of staff of Dwarf Light Star was very friendly with the Ren family, he still had reservations. If you had to choose between the interests of the Federation and the Ren, it would definitely be the former.
Originally, Ren Jizhong didn't care and didn't want to change people, but the sudden start of this big battle was completely unexpected by him. Especially the ambush of Li Xuantong, with the beginning of this big war, gradually surfaced.
Only then did Ren Jizhong know that the actions he thought he thought were hole cards had been known from the beginning, and he even became a knife in the hands of others in a daze. The most terrifying thing is that the knife is likely to be stuck in himself as well.
Ren Jizhong, who woke up like a dream, couldn't be afraid, and he didn't have the heart to worry about the position of the archon, and now his biggest problem was how to protect himself.
That's why he spent a lot of effort to push Sun Xueguang to the position of chief of the General Staff.
I don't want to plot anything, I just want to put one of my own ears in the campaign headquarters. This is how you can stay up-to-date and adapt.
The Planetary Administrator has no authority to interfere with military appointments, especially the position of Chief of Staff of the Planetary Fleet, which must go through the Sector Military Department. In addition, the chief of the planetary general staff is generally with the rank of lieutenant general, while Sun Xueguang is only a major general. The promotion of the rank of general must be directly appointed by the headquarters of the Federal Fleet.
But Ren Jizhong has a way to make the old chief of staff "sick".
If it is peacetime, the chief of the General Staff has such a small accident, and the deputy will be temporarily replaced. If it is really impossible to work, it needs to be replaced, and the military headquarters of the star district must also review new candidates. If it involves the promotion of military ranks, it must be reported to the headquarters of the Federal Fleet. A set of procedures will take two or three months at the earliest.
However, in times of war, especially in star-sector wars, the situation is very different.
The commander-in-chief led the fleet to fight at the front, and the chief of the general staff sat in the rear. Now in the 65th Star Region Campaign Headquarters, He Xianzhong is leading a large group of chief of general staff to study the battle plan and coordinate the overall situation.
Under such circumstances, there will naturally be no spare time to consider a candidate for chief of the General Staff.
Sun Xueguang was ordered to be in danger, not under the orders of the Federation, but by the orders of Ren Jizhong.
Ren Jizhong meant to let him be the ear and pass on key information and intelligence. But this does not mean that Sun Xueguang has to be dumb.
Especially now, He Xianzhong has directly pointed the finger at the Ren family. Even if nothing changes, you can't continue to be silent.
"Commander Huang just said that we have the least right to know. Sun Xueguang stubbornly said: "Besides, in Ms. Qin's kidnapping incident, our captain of the Dwarf Light Star was involved. At present, the facts have not yet been clarified, and if we hastily draw arbitrary conclusions, it is very easy to implicate innocent people. ”
Sun Xueguang tore down Huang Yuanji's banner and took the initiative to mention Dwarf Guangxing, which were all risky behaviors, but now he can't take care of it.
This meeting may seem casual, but the level is too high. Especially when it comes to the Battle of the 65th Star Zone, all the minutes of the meeting will be kept on file and reported. If He Xianzhong is really determined, the Ren family will be even more passive.
"Are you mistaken?" He Xianzhong glanced at Sun Xueguang again: "I am the commander-in-chief of the campaign, not an investigator. What is the inside story of Qin Hongyu's kidnapping, is it important to me? I just need to know that this matter exists and is related to the 65th Star Zone. Even if it's just a possibility, it's the same for me. ”
"Since you say so, then I am speechless. Sun Xueguang insisted: "But I reserve my opinion and will submit a report to the Ministry on this meeting." ”
"That's your power. He Xianzhong didn't nod slightly.
The other generals didn't speak, but their eyes were strange.
Originally, it was just an operational meeting of the headquarters, but now it has changed a little taste.
Sun Xueguang withstood the pressure and did not let He Xianzhong characterize the kidnapping. But after such a fuss, He Xianzhong's attitude has become very obvious.
Speaking of other generals, even Xia Shidong's expression was a little complicated.
Li Mu's toss in the 65th Star Region not only affected this battle, but also obtained something for the family in the rear.
Many people wanted to gain benefits in the war in the 65th Star Zone, but Li Mu was ahead of everyone.
The two-star general of the Federation Headquarters began to stand in line and stood on the side of the Li family.
