Although the members of the Broken Wings Angel Legion and the elite guards of the Wei family were all arrogant, they became more and more silent when Wu Zhengnan appeared. Wu Zhengnan did not do anything deliberately, but he seemed ordinary
Every move you make will bring invisible and huge pressure to people.
It was not until this moment that young people from aristocratic families like Wei Potian discovered that people who could stand on one side in the Evernight Continent did have the ability to match their status, and personal combat power was only part of it. But they took things seriously.
Too simple.
Zhang Youheng was much more experienced. He was hardly affected. He calmly pulled out a thick stack of documents and said: "General Wu, we have received a lot of accusations against you. The contents are all here. Do you want me to read them out?"
Zhang Youheng began to read one by one in an unchanging and calm tone. He read briefly and concisely, but it took him a full ten minutes to finish all the accusations.
After Qianye heard these accusations, he felt a little strange. Zhang Youheng listed dozens of items that violated military law, but most of the charges included, even though Qianye had less than a year of imperial service experience, were
They all feel that they are dispensable. For example, false claims of vacancies, misappropriation of military pay; for example, a certain battle was not effective, reinforcements were late, etc.
These items are indeed written in black and white in the imperial law, but most of them are things that have no serious consequences and the upper levels of the empire will not delve into them at all, but are commonplace for the lower-level armies. Take the late arrival of reinforcements as an example, even if it is not the case for local armies like Yong Ye to do it themselves
systematic
In places, even in the upper continent of the empire, there are often many conflicts between armies and conflicts with each other. Reinforcements are deliberately delayed for a long time. This kind of thing has become so common that it is innocuous. Moreover, it is affected by celestial phenomena, terrain, etc., is it intentional?
It will be difficult to obtain evidence.
What Wu Zhengnan did that really stepped on the red line of imperial law was to sell strategic materials and bloodline seeds to the dark races, but Zhang Youheng's materials did not even mention it half a word.
Although according to imperial regulations, the combined punishment for dozens of misdemeanors is no lighter than these two major crimes. But Qianye has a ridiculous feeling that the real crimes are not investigated, but because of some unnecessary crimes
The fault was punished?
After reading, Zhang Youheng said in a mechanical and cold tone: "General Wu, these are all the accusations. What objections do you have? If there are no other arrangements, please follow us back to the military headquarters for investigation."
At this time, the expressions of the officers of the 7th Division in the conference room softened a lot, and the originally tense atmosphere was relieved. Wu Zhengnan did not look at anyone, his eyes were focused on the conference table in front of him, and his fingers silently moved
Knocking, he heard Zhang Youheng's question, and it took him a while to respond.
"Go to the military headquarters..." Wu Zhengnan smiled and asked, "Who else here will be investigated?"
Zhang Youheng opened another document and read out nearly ten names calmly and calmly. They were basically all junior officers in the staff and logistics department below the lieutenant colonel level, not even a full-time regimental commander.
After the list came out, the officers of the 7th Division were almost obviously relieved. It seemed that this investigation was only targeting Wu Zhengnan personally. As for a few insignificant small staff officers, who would care about their life and death? Given Wu Zhengnan's identity
, it is abnormal to have no accomplices.
Wu Zhengnan was very indifferent and asked: "Have you been convicted?"
Zhang Youheng put away the documents and said with a fair face: "No, this is just an accusation. According to the procedures, you have one chance to defend yourself."
"Public or private?"
"Open." Zhang Youheng's answer made the people of the 7th Division even more relieved. Even Wu Zhengnan finally showed a relaxed expression.
Qianye sat in the back row and squinted his eyes, taking in the expressions of everyone in the conference room. But Wei Potian, who was sitting at the conference table, almost jumped up when the old man from the Wei family next to him quickly pressed down.
Fortunately, he has become much calmer over the years and did not have an attack on the spot.
Zhang Youheng stood up and said: "General Wu, please arrange the military affairs of the 7th Division. You will appoint the temporary commander, but the city defense will be temporarily handed over to the Broken Wing Angel Star Wing Squadron. You will be in the east of Heiliu City in three days.
Meet us at the airship base outside the door, which is the expeditionary force headquarters. You must bring everyone on the list just now. In addition, you can bring a squad of guards. That's it."
Wu Zhengnan stood up and sent Zhang Youheng and everyone out of the conference room. He stood at the door and said goodbye with a smile to everyone who passed by. His smile looked particularly sincere.
Wei Potian had a dark face, and he had the urge to smash Wu Zhengnan's old face with a punch. But he was not really stupid. He knew that if he punched him, his fist might hurt more than Wu Zhengnan's face.
Be important.
Without saying a word, Zhang Youheng hurriedly left the division headquarters building, got on the off-road vehicle, and left directly with his men without going with Wei Potian.
With a dark face, Wei Potian jumped into his off-road vehicle. As soon as he closed the door, he shouted at the old man of the Wei family: "What the hell is going on?! That's not what you said at the beginning!"
Qianye sat next to Wei Potian. He was extremely calm at this time, and the guesses in his mind had already formed a rough outline. The current situation seemed to be going from start to finish, and Wu Zhengnan seemed to have been accused of dozens of violations of military law.
, but there is no final conviction, and there is still a chance for a round of defense. This kind of thing, as long as it does not reach the end, may have complications.
As for the so-called public defense, the venue is chosen at the Expeditionary Force headquarters, which means that the upper echelons of the Expeditionary Force can also intervene in this investigation. At that time, some of the more innocuous charges, such as troop deployment without orders and excessive armament losses, will be eliminated as long as
Which expeditionary force leader is willing to come forward and say a few words will immediately become insignificant. In this way, the final result may even avoid direct punishment.
Zhang Youheng met after three days. In fact, he gave Wu Zhengnan three days to deal with the situation. This buffer period can completely wipe out some serious accusations that are difficult to get rid of. When the time comes, there will be no substantiated evidence. Related
The crime will be dismissed.
Facing Wei Potian's anger, the old man of the Wei family said calmly: "Master, this is the result of the original discussion. Have you forgotten?"
Wei Potian recalled carefully that he seemed to have mentioned this plan that day. It was also the least difficult and most reliable plan to implement. However, Zhang Youheng was vague and did not say anything in detail. He only gave a rough idea.
Possible processing range.
However, thinking about this matter, Wei Potian became even more angry: "That's what he said, but he didn't say that everything should be handled in the most minor way! If so, then it's a waste of time to discuss it!"
"Master, this is the best way. As long as Wu Zhengnan is investigated and leaves his 7th Division, things will be much easier to handle. If he can mobilize the senior officials of the expeditionary force to exonerate him, can't we let Broken Wings
The angels and the adults of the Imperial Ministry uphold the original verdict?"
Having said this, the old man of the Wei family paused and said: "In addition, whether it is forcing the rebels or directly killing a major general and commander of the expeditionary force, this matter is too big and far beyond your authority.
.If we do this, Master, I’m afraid you will be strictly controlled by Master in the future.”
"Just take care of it! I can't just watch Wu Zhengnan get away with it, right?"
However, the old man of the Wei family made a gesture and said: "Master, as long as Wu Zhengnan is no longer the commander of the expeditionary force, the future will be long." There was a hint of murderous intent in his words.
Wei Potian frowned and wanted to say something else. Qianye reached out and pressed hard on his shoulder, saying, "Potian, it's okay. It's not easy to do this."
At this time, Qianye had basically understood the meaning behind the Wei family's plan. Their initial goal was to remove Wu Zhengnan from the position of division commander through impeachment. After losing his status as an active major general in the expeditionary force, he was a lonely general.
No one will care about his fate anymore.
This is a very roundabout method, even cruel, but it is also a method that will cause very little backlash in all aspects. It can be seen from the reaction of the officers of the 7th Division just now that if they knew that this matter was only aimed at Wu Zheng
If Nan alone, almost no one would follow Wu Zhengnan in rebellion.
Similarly, although those trivial accusations will accumulate to severe penalties, without the serious crime of forbidden transactions, they will not implicate other divisions, let alone drag down some big figures. Otherwise, even if the forbidden transactions only count on Wu Zhengnan's head
On top of that, senior leaders of the expeditionary force will also be reprimanded or punished for lax military management.
Qianye recalled what Song Zining had told him about what was going on over there, and secretly sighed in his heart. Only now did he fully understand the significance of Song Zining's behind-the-scenes activities. It was an attempt to drain money from the bottom of the cauldron. Wu Zhengnan would not be able to escape guilt this time. If the trial results
Only
It was the removal of a major general and division commander, rather than the military execution of a major general and division commander. It was basically certain that the top management of the expeditionary force would not say anything. Song Zining should have expected today's situation. The power tactics of powerful families are often surprisingly similar.
.
After thinking about the cause and effect, Qianye suddenly felt even more tired than after a battle. However, although his chest was a little tight because of what he saw today, warmth lingered in his heart. Even if he would get an unsatisfactory weighing result in the end, this time he
It's no longer just one person fighting.
Wei Potian was still angry and said: "But this guy actually colluded with the people of the 15th Division to kill you!"
Qianye smiled and said, "This is not the first time he has tried to kill me. Isn't it okay until now?"
Wei Potian muttered a few words, just to show off to Wu Zhengnan afterwards, and then became quiet.
After everyone left, Wu Zhengnan returned to his office, stood in front of the window, and looked down at the city that was almost built by him.
There was a gentle knock on the office door.
"Come in." Wu Zhengnan's voice was very calm. There was only one person who dared to disturb him at this time.
As expected, it was Qi Sicheng who came in. He walked quickly behind Wu Zhengnan and said with a hint of joy: "General, this result is not bad!"
Wu Zhengnan said with a half-smile, "What's the right idea?"
ps: There is still more than 200 left for the first order, so I will update it first, and then everyone can watch the game.
