The Dust Settles Chapter 22 Stop the war, let's stop here
"Brother? Brother~" Wu Kexin fell to the ground, crying out to Lin Zihan, trying to wake Lin Zihan from his coma, but everything was in vain, Lin Zihan had already lost consciousness at this time, and he couldn't hear Wu Kexin's call at all, and his mind had already gone to another world.
"It's strange, how I can't feel Lin Zihan's consciousness at all." Gui Chan was slightly stunned, although Gui Chan didn't want to be so good at spiritual skills, but he could also gain insight into people's consciousness from his own perception, but only Lin Zihan was empty and there was only one body left.
"What did you just say?" Tao Xue's attention was not on Gui Chan, nor did she hear what Gui Chan was talking in his ear clearly, but she felt that Gui Chan's expression was a little nervous and surprised, and her eyes stared at Lin Zihan deadly, as if something big had happened.
"It's nothing, maybe I just consumed too much in the first battle, so I'm hallucinating." Guizen put his left hand behind his back, his right hand clenched his sleeve, and slightly bent his elbow in front of him, as if he was holding something in his arms.
"I went out first, and only the two young people Xia Ming and Lin Yafeng were left in the hotel, so I didn't feel at ease." Gui Chan was silent for a few seconds, and was stunned for a while before he spoke, with only some worry and panic in his eyes, wanting to escape from this ward quickly.
Seeing Gui Chan hurriedly walk out of the room, Tao Xue's face was full of doubts and puzzles, "He has never shown such a flustered look for so many years, and he always feels that Gui Chan has something to hide from us." Tao Xue looked at Fu Di as if asking, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, squeezing out a wry smile.
After being silent for a few seconds, Fu Di and Tao Xue looked at each other, their eyes showed a complicated expression, and with Tao Xue's smile, they slowly squeezed out a wry smile, "He has always been so calm, maybe this time he saw the true face of the Shenghui Organization, it was a little difficult to accept." ”
Fu Di didn't care so much, his eyes immediately looked at Lin Zihan on the hospital bed, and the corners of his mouth showed a little wry smile, that kind of self-deprecating wry smile.
……
"Commander Lan, on behalf of the supreme commander of this operation, I bear the main responsibility for the mistakes of this operation, and I am willing to bear all military punishments." Lan Hong stood in the center of the hall of the military department, and the people gathered in this conference room tonight were all high-level leaders of the military department, and the lowest level was also the commander of the three armies.
"One sentence of being primarily responsible, can you get rid of everything?" Someone next to him sneered, his eyes were full of indifference, Lin Zihan had waited for too long and too long, and just when they were about to hold this chess piece, because of the dereliction of duty of the Military Intelligence Section, they might lose this chess piece forever.
"Yes, and this operation has completely exposed the Blue River Hotel to the eyes of the Imperial Federation, which is undoubtedly an excuse for the Imperial Federation to send troops to conscript." In the hall of the military division, a person whose seat was second only to Lan Luoran said in a low voice, and that tone obviously pointed the finger at Lan Luoran.
"We've been waiting for this day for too long, could it be that because of one of your mistakes, we, as a real military commander, have to suffer these losses that we shouldn't have to bear?" A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said, his eyes full of treachery and cunning.
"We have been operating the Blue River Hotel for so many years, planning for so many years just to uncover the secrets of the Northern Wilderness, and now you have lost the only key, what should you do if you let us old guys?"
"Commander Lan, you can't shield her just because she's your granddaughter, right?" An old man in the audience finally spoke, he looked much older than Lan Luoran on the stage, and he was half of Lan Luoran's master.
"I think the military court will give a reasonable trial on this matter." Lan Luoran was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, his voice was like a bell, which shocked everyone present and the officers who wanted to speak.
"I, Lan Luoran, will never favor anyone, even if it is my granddaughter, I will never favor her, but I hope that before the matter is clear and there is a final result, you should wait a little longer." Lan Luoran let out a long sigh, and his confidence gradually became insufficient.
"Really? Does this matter still need to be investigated? As the strongest spy network of the northern military, the Blue River Hotel has failed to find out even if the Imperial Federation has infiltrated such a master, is this not a dereliction of duty on the Blue River spy network? A conductor sitting at the bottom of the main table slapped the table and shouted a loud accusation.
"Our soldiers are fighting on the front line, but in the end, they have to bear more fire because of the mistakes of the spy network?"
"yes!"
Immediately, there was a chorus of echoes from the audience, because the intelligence of the spy network failed to find out the secret troops sent by the Imperial Federation in time, and now the matter is not just a matter of the military department, but related to the entire northern military, and whether the relationship between the northern border and the imperial federation can continue to maintain peace.
"I hope that Commander Lan can give a reasonable answer to this, after all, I don't want the blood of the front-line soldiers to be shed in vain."
What the officer said was right, if the Imperial Federation seized Lin Zihan's matter and used the topic to play the role of wielding troops in the north, then the north would be caught in the battlefield in the southern region and take care of itself, and the situation facing the north would be even more chaotic than the current southern region.
"When the time comes, the situation of being attacked on the back is not what we want to see. In that case, what is the point of us sending troops to the Southern Regions? The audience, which was shocked for a while, began to talk again, and everyone in the audience also began to disagree.
What was originally a military meeting seemed to have turned into a big gathering at this time, and there were whining voices everywhere, and all the officers were talking about it.
Lan Hong's expression was indifferent, she didn't care about this matter at all, she didn't pay attention to those who complained or even scolded her, let alone took it to heart, those who could only fight and kill were far from understanding the war that the intelligence network could not see.
"Enough!" A crisp and cold voice echoed in the hall, shouting was not someone else, but Lan Xi, who had been following Lan Hong and was silent, as Lan Hong's sister, she couldn't bear her sister being slandered by these people.
"You don't have any doubts, why did the Imperial Federation accurately find the hotel where Lin Zihan was, and can still track Lin Zihan, shouldn't it be that some people leaked secrets!!" Lan Xi took a big step forward and blocked in front of Lan Hong.
"And do you know ......!"
"Enough!" Lan Hong once again rudely interrupted Lan Xi's words, and glanced at her indifferently, "I take all the responsibility for this matter, and I am willing to bear all the consequences by myself." ”
"You take it alone? Can you afford it? A two-star commander standing on Lan Hong's left sneered, as the commander of the Lancheng garrison in the north, he could have gone home tonight to spend time with his family, but he was called to attend the meeting before he left the barracks for three days.
"If the empire uses the topic to play, it will undoubtedly nail the northern border to the rebel pillar, and the fate will be the same as that of the southern region." Although the northern territory has the intention of breaking away from the Imperial Federation and subverting the government over the years, it has not taken action for a long time, because it has not figured out the true situation of the Imperial Federation, and does not want to be condemned by other territories as a rebel.
"Shut up!" The loud voice covered up the discussion, except for Lan Luoran, no one in this hall dared to speak loudly like this, but everyone knew that the voice came from the door, not Lan Luoran, who was sitting at the top,
At that moment, the discussion stopped abruptly, and all eyes looked at the door of the military department's hall in unison, wanting to see who was so blind that he dared to make a loud noise here.
It's just that the moment I saw that person, everyone was quiet, maybe in terms of seniority, the one in front of me couldn't compare to Lan Luoran who was sitting at the top, otherwise he wouldn't have participated in this military meeting, but when it came to the right to speak in the army, it was not half a point less than Lan Luoran.
"Commander Du, why are you here?" Lan Luoran saw that the person who walked in was none other than Du Zhong, the commander of the Supervision Army, a person with a low military rank but extremely high status.
"I'm naturally here to clarify one thing, this time, the responsibility is not all on the Blue River Hotel and Lan Hong, the Imperial Federation has endured it for so many years, I'm afraid the eyeliner has already been planted in every corner of the northern border." Du Zhong said meaningfully, although he was defending Lan Hong, but he did not decline at all because of this.
"And Lin Zihan's person has caused an uproar in both the north and the south, even if there is a wanted warrant in the north, he has not made a move, which the Imperial Federation has long been suspicious of, and it has been eyeing Lin Zihan's whereabouts for a long time."
"What Commander Du means by this, is it possible that things are not so simple, or do you just want to excuse Lan Hong?" Someone in the seat raised doubts, and looked at Du Zhong with sharp eyes, "Or does Commander Du Zhong have a way to make up for it??" ”
"Make amends?" Du Zhong smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed some bitterness, "The best attention I can think of is to stop the war, the Red Lion Legion suspends its military operations against the Southern Regions, and waits coldly until the Imperial Federation makes a move." ”
The reason why the northern territory was so active when it sent troops to the southern region was that it wanted to take the opportunity to conquer the city, go south to take the southern mining area, and then take it for itself, and use this as a foundation to develop, and continue to confront the imperial federation.
Without such a strong opponent as the Southern Regions, it would be much easier for the Northern Territory to rebel in the future, and the Northern Territory occupied the mineral veins of the Southern Regions, and could continue to expand its military strength.
"Stop the war?" Someone in the audience sneered, he always felt that Du Zhong was telling a joke.
"Yes, stop the war, let's stop it here!" Du Zhong repeated, the voice was very loud, completely overshadowing the people in the audience, and even Lan Luoran was stunned and stunned in his seat, not knowing what to say.
