Chapter 178 The procedure must be lawful

One is the good news of the 4th Regiment of the 796th Division, saying that 20 kilometers away from Taishui Town, under the wise leadership of the regimental commander Ling Zhihui, more than 200 warriors fought bloodily, repelled the ambush of more than 500 people and killed more than 200 enemies.

On the other hand, Lieutenant General Nam 10 of the Cheolkook Army Command will depart today to inspect the Liuyun Provincial Military Region and will inspect military affairs in Binh Chau City.

After listening to these two telegrams, Ruan Jingtian fell into deep thought, and did not have much feeling about the arrival of Lieutenant General Nan Shi. However, Ruan Jingtian had a lot of doubts about the good news claimed by Ling Zhihui: there were doubts about the location and the number of people.

It is not uncommon to exaggerate the number of enemies and the number of enemies killed several times, and it is not worth making a fuss, but the places of battle are not tens of kilometers apart.

According to Hang Songgan's answer, the ambush site of Ling Yunmu was 15 kilometers away from Dongshan City, that is to say, about 70 kilometers away from Taishui Town, but why did Ling Zhihui say that the battle took place 20 kilometers away from Taishui Town? This difference is not a few kilometers, but 50 kilometers.

After thinking for a while, Ruan Jingtian did not find a clue, and he sighed in his heart: How many percent of this military battle report is water? It is estimated that at least more than seventy percent of it is fake, big, and empty.

Coming to the intensive care ward of the Central Hospital, Ruan Jingtian asked the doctor about Hang Songgan's condition, and the doctor said that Hang Songqing's wound had been effectively controlled and was healing, and that it would need to be maintained in the future.

At this time, the doctors and nurses had just finished checking the ward, and there was only one person in the ward, Hang Songqing, and the special service personnel of the water agency stood at the door, closely guarding the ward.

Ruan Jingtian walked to Hang Songgan's hospital bed, and Hang Songqing looked at him viciously. Ruan Jingtian violently used the Divine Soul Technique, and Hang Song's unruly demeanor gradually disappeared, turning into a dazed state.

Ruan Jingtian quickly asked about the whereabouts of the 679th Division*, and Hang Songqing only replied with two words.

The sound of the nurse's conversation came from outside the ward, and Ruan Jingtian hurriedly put Hang Songqing to sleep. He walked out of the ward and into an office prepared for him at the central hospital.

He silently recited the word "Dianmian" in his heart. Dianmian is a country in the southern part of the Thorn Country, which mainly produces various gemstones such as jadeite and jade.

"The 679th Division* should have passed through the Thorn Country and entered the Dianmian Country. Dianmian Province is about 8,000 kilometers away from Liuyun Province and about 10,000 kilometers away from Zheguo, and the 679th Division* has run really far. Ruan Jingtian said secretly in his heart.

Ruan Jingtian had a lot of doubts about the 679th Division's expedition to Dianmian, because soldiers are also human beings, and they are not willing to travel thousands of miles to fight, and they also hope to settle down somewhere.

The military's top brass will usually send miscellaneous troops, non-descendant troops, or troops who have made big mistakes to distant battlefields. With the influence of the Hang family in the Zheguo Army, the army headquarters generally did not hand over the arduous task of going south to the 679th Division. However, the 679th Division* ran to the country of Dianmian nearly 10,000 kilometers away. There may be another mystery here.

Ruan Jingtian took out the file document that was found in the barracks of the 679th Division* Guard Company. He read it carefully, and his heart was not only full of shock, but also somewhat understood the reasons why some of the 679th Division* had run to Dianmian Country.

These texts describe how the 679th Division* obtained the top-secret thing three years ago, that is, the contents of three boxes, one large, two small, and one small.

During the 679th Division* of Zheguo, they sacked an ancient temple during the campaign against Dong Liao Province. In the basement of the temple, the devil found these three boxes. Three crates contained oddly shaped devices, one of which resembled a sniper rifle. Colonel Hang Xuetie, the commander of the 679th Division*, tried to fire a shot, but instead of a bullet, the weapon emitted a red light. Break down a car eight kilometers away.

Hang Xuetie was overjoyed, and wanted to continue shooting, but no matter how he fiddled, he couldn't shoot a second shot. In desperation. Hang Xuetie had no choice but to carry this thing with him.

When the 679th Division* marched to Dongshan City, the Zheguo military knew about it and ordered Hang Xuetie to hand it over to the Zheguo Army Headquarters. Hang Xuetie was reluctant to hand over this item, so he submitted a battle report to the Zheguo Army Headquarters. The war report claimed that the item was stolen by the Assassin government army, and the more than 130 guards guarding the item were all broken. Of course, the real situation is self-evident.

These archival texts also record the analysis and research of this object by Hang Xuetie and weapons experts. Many experts agree that one of the main components of this object is similar to ruby, but this component is different from natural rubies in many ways. Hang Xuetie named this weapon the Ruby Gun.

After reading these archives, Ruan Jingtian believes that the 679th Division* traveled thousands of miles to Dianmian Country, which is very likely to be the result of its initiative to ask for help, and the reason is that Dianmian Country is rich in rubies, and perhaps Hang Xuetie hopes to find clues about ruby guns in Dianmian Country.

Ruan Jingtian suddenly became interested in the weapon, and although the weapon fell into his hands, he did not open the three boxes due to the rush of time. He decided to move the things from the cliff cave as much as he could, and see what was so peculiar about the ruby gun earlier.

Keeping the key contents of the archives firmly in mind, Nguyen Ching Tien sent a fireball and burned the archives.

Ruan Jingtian thought about a series of things that might be triggered by Hang Songqing's arrest: Hang Songqing shouldered the family mission and guarded the ruby gun in Taishui Town. However, Gong Xiaomu took down Hang Songqing regardless of it, which must have disrupted the deployment arrangements of the Hang family. The Hang family must be very concerned about the safety of the ruby gun, and they may try their best to contact the more than one hundred and thirty guards guarding the ruby gun. However, the Zheguo military listed these guards as the dead, so the Hang family would not contact these guards publicly, and they should have contacted them through Guò Hang Song. From this point of view, the first priority of the Hang family is to fish out Hang Songgan.

Ruan Jingtian suddenly understood why Cao Zhengqi, the * colonel and brigade commander of the 796th Division, wanted to take over Hang Songqing. He stood up and came to the window, outside which was the lawn and rockery in front of the central hospital.

Thinking about the various possibilities that were about to happen, Ruan Jingtian decided to make a plan in advance to deal with the multiple possibilities. He called Xian Xisheng and Jiao Qiubo over and gave instructions to the two of them in a low voice.

Ling Zhihui, commander of the 4th Regiment of the 796th Division, lined up to greet Colonel Cao Zhengqi on the way from Pingzhou City to Taishui Town. Ling Zhihui sat next to Cao Zhengqi and reported on the battle after 0:00 yesterday.

When Ling Zhihui saw the opponent he was fighting withdrawing, he immediately pursued, and after capturing more than 60 people, more than 30 people fled into the depths of Kouzi Mountain.

Worried that there was an ambush in Kouzi Mountain, Ling Zhihui did not continue to chase. He interrogated the captives and learned that the other party was a horse gang from Taishui Town. The intention of the horse gang to set up an ambush on the road was to kill Miyataka Mu of the Higashiyama Castle Water Agency.

Ling Zhihui suddenly had a big head, the horse gang was formed by Hang Songqing, and its members came from the underworld and retired military personnel of Zheguo, speaking of which, the horse gang can also be regarded as a paramilitary organization of Zheguo.

The two sides fought for more than four hours, and it was actually the Zheguo people who fought the Zheguo people, what was the matter.

Due to the telegram for help sent by Sun Maoyu, Minister of the Army Department of Dongshan City, claiming that it was an ambush from the Assassin Nation Harmony Society, the Pingzhou City Air Force and the 796th Division* Brigade Headquarters in Pingzhou City both received this telegram, and Ling Zhihui could not publicly slap him in the face. had no choice but to declare to the outside world that the ambush team of the Tongxin Society had fallen to the ground. However, as a subordinate, Ling Zhihui must report the truth to his superiors.

After listening to Ling Zhihui's report, Cao Zhengqi set off a storm in his heart. This morning, he received an urgent telegram from the Zheguo Army Headquarters, telling him to do everything he could to get out of Hangsong.

Cao Zhengqi was extremely surprised by this instruction. He was the supreme commander of the 796th Division*, but he was only responsible for military affairs, not local affairs. Hang Songgen is the head of the War Department of Taishui Town. Its archival relationship is subordinate to the War Department of Dongshan City, Liuyun Province. Although the word "Army" is included in the War Department, the War Department is not under the jurisdiction of the Army, but is part of the Civil Service series. So, strictly speaking. Cao Zhengqi has no right to interfere in the affairs of the public service.

Cao Zhengqi did not believe this instruction at first, and negotiated with the Zheguo Army Command.

The command said that Hang Songqing had a special mission and must be protected as much as possible. The normal formalities of getting through the guò public service system obviously take a long time. And Cao Zhengqi is the nearest prefect leader to Taishui Town. The headquarters hoped that Cao Zheng would take into account the overall situation, overcome difficulties, and withstand pressure. Do your best to protect the loyal and brave men of Zheguo who are fighting on the hidden front as quickly as possible.

In the end, a certain leader of the Army Headquarters made a speech, promising to promote Cao Zhengqi to colonel afterwards and transfer him to a certain provincial military district as a division commander. So, Cao Zhengqi took on this task with honor and determination.

For Gong Xiaomu, Cao Zhengqi had a one-sided relationship, although there was no in-depth communication, but Cao Zhengqi believes that Gong Xiaomu is a person who understands the general situation and knows how to advance and retreat, and Cao Zhengqi believes that he will be able to complete the task easily.

However, after listening to Ling Zhihui's report, Cao Zhengqi didn't expect that Hang Songqing would be so crazy to put Gong Xiaomu to death, the development of the matter was that Hang Songge fell into the hands of Gong Xiaomu, can Gong Xiaomu hand over Hang Songge to Cao Zhengqi lightly?

After thinking for a while, Cao Zhengqi remembered that Gong Xiaomu was also a person in the military system, with a low rank, as long as he took out the posture of a superior commander, according to the principle of subordinates obeying superiors, Gong Xiaomu would definitely be obedient.

Cao Zhengqi strictly issued an order to Ling Zhihui: Regarding the matter of Hang Song's letting the Ma Gang ambush Gong Xiaomu, it must be kept secret, and if the secret is leaked, the military law will be involved.

Of course, Ling Zhihui knew the stakes, and hurriedly replied loudly: "Yes!"

At ten o'clock in the morning, Cao Zhengqi, Ling Zhihui and others appeared at the Central Hospital of Taishui Town. Ruan Jingtian greeted Cao Zhengqi and others on the lawn of the hospital.

Cao Zheng got straight to the point and directly asked Ruan Jingtian to hand over Hang Songqing.

"Brigade Commander Cao, may I ask if you are representing the Liuyun Provincial Water Agency or the Dongshan City War Department?" asked Ruan Jingtian.

"I represent the 796th Division of the Jeguo Army*. Cao Zhengqi said unhappily.

"Brigade Commander Cao, I'm so sorry, I can't hand over Hang Songgan to you. Ruan Jingtian shook his head, his tone was very resolute.

"Gong Xiaomu, do we still need your consent if our military wants to take someone away?" Cao Zheng's anger rose.

"Brigadier Cao, I am performing my duties as a water agency. It's not that I don't agree with it, it's that the procedures of the water agency don't allow it. Ruan Jingtian's face was still very flat.

"Gong Takamu, do you know who you're talking to?"

"I know, you are the brigade commander of the 796th Division*. ”

"It's good to know, even Sun Maoyu can't disobey my orders, you are a small deputy head of the water agency who is so bold as to openly oppose the will of the chief, can you be guilty?" Cao Zhengqi squinted at Ruan Jingtian and said disdainfully.

"Brigadier Cao, how others treat your orders, that has nothing to do with me. If you want to take Hang Songgan, you must meet the procedural requirements. One is entrusted by the Liuyun Provincial Water Authority, and the other is entrusted by the War Department of Dongshan City, as long as you take out any of these two power of attorneys, I will immediately hand over Hang Songqing to you. Ruan Jingtian was unmoved. It still sticks to its position.

"Gong Xiaomu, you are a lieutenant colonel's staff officer, right?" Cao Zhengqi felt that his anger was about to reach his head.

"Yes. ”

"I'm the colonel brigade commander, don't you obey the orders of your superiors?" Cao Zhengqi's right hand touched his waist.

"Brigade Commander Cao, now I am not wearing a military uniform, I am the deputy head of the Dongshan Chengshui Agency, and your colonel and brigade commander have no effect on me. Ruan Jingtian didn't seem to see Cao Zhengqi's right hand holding the holster

"Gong Xiaomu, for those who do not obey the military orders, you can correct the law on the spot!" Cao Zhengqi quickly pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Ruan Jingtian's forehead. The eight guards around Cao Zheng picked up light machine guns and rifles, and pointed at Ruan Jingtian together.

Ling Zhihui stood behind Cao Zhengqi. Shocked by the scene in front of him, he had never seen Gong Xiaomu before, and he was quite puzzled by Gong Xiaomu's almost stupid behavior.

Ruan Jingtian's face was still very calm, but there was more murder in his eyes.

"Brigade Commander Cao, do you know what the consequences of people in the army threatening the personnel of the public service system with guns?" asked Ruan Jingtian coldly.

"Gong Xiaomu, do you think those broken guns of your water mechanism will work for us? Look at the guard company I brought, how many people do you guess? There are more than 80 people, do you think you can escape from the encirclement of these more than 80 people? Besides, I am a colonel. You are a lieutenant colonel, I will kill you, it is right, where will it be!" Cao Zheng roared.

Ruan Jingtian's body suddenly twisted and deformed. Cao Zheng's pistol inexplicably arrived in Ruan Jingtian's hand, and immediately after, Ruan Jing's angel came out with shadowless legs, eight feet as fast as lightning. Kicked all eight guards with their guns into the air.

Playing with the pistol, Ruan Jingtian said mockingly: "Your guards seem to be too dish-oriented." He pointed to the walls around the hospital and continued, "Brigade Commander Cao. I'd love to see what happens to the eighty-plus guards you brought. ”

Cao Zhengqi was frightened, looked up and saw a total of eight heavy machine guns, sixteen light machine guns, and dozens of Type 49 rifles mounted on the wall, all pointing at them in the courtyard of the hospital.

"Gong Xiaomu, are you going to rebel?" Cao Zhengqi's face changed greatly, the more than eighty guards he brought, plus the more than twenty guards brought by Ling Zhihui, really couldn't get the encirclement of so many light and heavy weapons on the wall.

"It's Brigade Commander Cao, you're going to rebel, right? Just now I asked you what the consequences of a soldier threatening a public servant with a gun are, and it seems that you haven't answered yet. It's not too late to answer, hehe. Ruan Jingtian let out a few contemptuous laughs.

Cao Zhengqi's face turned white and red for a while, he didn't expect Gong Xiaomu to really dare to disobey, and he didn't expect that the water mechanism would have so many heavy weapons, when would the water mechanism also be equipped with heavy weapons?

"Deputy Commander of the Palace, to tell you the truth, I came on the orders of the Zheguo Army Headquarters, can't you disobey the orders of the headquarters?"

"Brigade Commander Cao, the Army Headquarters can't control our water organs, it's useless for you to talk about it! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've wronged Brigade Commander Cao, come here, please come to the office for tea. Ruan Jingtian beckoned to Xianxi Sheng and Jiao Qiubo.

Xian Xisheng and Jiao Qiubo understood and immediately brought people up and confiscated the weapons of everyone on Cao Zhengqi's side. Ruan Jingtian took Cao Zhengqi's arm and walked towards the hospital.

Cao Zhengqi's heart swelled with infinite grievances, but he couldn't help it, so he had to be dragged into the reception room of the central hospital, sitting alone on a chair, looking at the tea on the conference table in a daze.

Ruan Jingtian sent Cao Zhengqi to the conference room and ordered eight secret service personnel to keep watch over him while he returned to his makeshift office.

He thought about it a lot: tearing his face with Cao Zhengqi was afraid that it would add a lot of constraints to his future work, and in addition, the Zheguo Army Command obviously wanted to keep Hang Songqing, which was different from Ruan Jingtian's previous thoughts. Last night, Ruan Jingtian thought that Sun Maoyu would take Hang Songgan away, but after one night, Sun Maoyu became a turtle with a shrunken head, and Hang Songyu's fate also changed fundamentally.

If Sun Maoyu took Hang Songqing away, Ruan Jingtian would find a suitable opportunity to kill Hang Songqing invisibly, and if Cao Zhengqi took Hang Songqing away, it would be difficult for Ruan Jingtian to kill Hang Songqing without leaving a flaw.

For Hang Songqing, Ruan Jingtian must take his life, so he did not hesitate to turn his face with Cao Zhengqi and try to delay the time when Hang Songqing was taken away from Taishui Town.

Ruan Jingtian took out a small radio station, which was the belongings of Qinglongmen Tian Mouliang. Since the seizure of this small radio station, Nguyen Jingtian has never used it. Today he had to secretly contact the self-reliance group in Rabbit Ridge, and in the atmosphere surrounded by Zheguo people, of course he couldn't use the radio station of the water organ, so he thought of this small radio station.

After sending the telegram, Ruan Jingtian waited for a call back. Five minutes later, Ruan Jingtian received a call back from Li Butterfly, and the message was only one sentence: Execute the order immediately!

At this time, someone from the Zheguo Army Headquarters was red-eyed. He waited hard for Cao Zhengqi's message, but after Cao Zhengqi sent a telegram that had already set off for Taishui Town, there was no more news.

Seeing that it was close to noon, Pingzhou City was more than three hours away from Taishui Town, and according to the time of Cao Zhengqi's departure, he was about to return to Pingzhou City at this time, but why didn't Cao Zhengqi send a message?

In desperation, he had no choice but to grab the phone and report to the elders of the family. It seems that the matter cannot be hidden. (To be continued......)
