War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 325 The True Strength of the Manipulator Behind the Scenes! (Added by He Meng)
"There is nothing that cannot be told to others, tell it!"

Deputy Director Li smiled. He just turned his palm in front of He Yingqin and said, "Please think twice." Then he kept silent. However, this action contained two intentions that could only be understood but not expressed in words.

The whole world knows that Xu Chaoyang is a hero of the War of Resistance, a role model of the National Government, and your favorite general...

If he was executed for something that was not handled properly, how would we explain it to the 29th Army? They gave us a main force regiment, and you executed the commander here. You know that you should enforce the law impartially, but Song Zheyuan's background, can he think of this? If this caused unnecessary trouble and led to a conflict between the two armies, wouldn't it give the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of it?

How will the government explain to the world? Oh, this is the kind of person the government promoted? A person who was promoted from a small company commander to a regiment commander, is this the kind of person he is? Where can we put our faces?

But if Xu Chaoyang is not dealt with, this matter will become interesting.

Deputy Director Li lowered his head, and when he raised it again, his eyes were shining: "Xu Chaoyang did nothing wrong in terms of legal principles, at most he overstepped his bounds, but the government has repeatedly issued orders to punish corruption. Now that our army and the Japanese invaders are in a stalemate, is it possible that someone authorized Xu Chaoyang to punish corruption at this time?"

He gave a direct answer: "Commander He fought against the Japanese invaders with one hand and punished corruption with the other. This is called defending against the enemy externally and rectifying the administration internally. It is a manifestation of diligently governing the country."

"Let's talk about these people. The director of the thermal power plant has fled with the money. Is this a done deal? No matter what you say, it can't be overturned. So what's the difference between taking 50,000 and taking 100,000?"

"And who among them is not a corrupt person? Look at all the things in this yard. What can they afford with their salaries?"

"Sir, you have to think about this." Deputy Director Li said in a mosquito-like voice, "We must not leave Jinling an opportunity to take advantage of it."

After he finished speaking, He Yingqin suddenly turned his head and looked at Deputy Director Li. At that moment, his gaze became focused and then deeply restrained.

Deputy Director Li made the whole matter bigger and bigger. When it rose to the level of Jinling, He Yingqin finally began to take it seriously.

The Rehe Battle was already a complete mess; the Great Wall Battle resulted in nothing remarkable except for the 29th Army, and even Division Commander Guan was injured and had to retreat. If this happened to the anti-Japanese hero promoted by the Kuomintang, then he would not be hurting Xu Chaoyang, but himself.

This situation is the result of your leadership!

But if you think back, if this matter is resolved on a minimal scale, it would be a small matter of absconding with money and punishing corruption...

What does it mean to turn your hand into clouds and your hand into rain?

Deputy Director Li handled all of this just right!

"report!"

As they were talking, the guards at the gate of Dagu Shipyard ran in and said, "Captain, a group of gentry came here to thank us?" The guards' words were incomprehensible. There was no war in Dagu, so why would the common people come to serve the army?
Xu Chaoyang looked at He Yingqin. He was unsure of what to do. At this time, Deputy Director Li spoke again: "Confused!"

"You're still waiting for Chief He's orders for such a small matter? Let him in quickly and see what's going on!"

Xu Chaoyang then waved to the guards, and a moment later, an old man led a group of gentry into the Dagu Shipyard.

"Hahaha, Captain Xu... Oh, Commander He is here too?"

The old man was very generous and didn't seem to be nervous at all. The key point was that he could still recognize He Yingqin...

"Are you?" He Yingqin asked specifically when he saw that the other party was not afraid of the situation at all.

The other party kept a smile on his face and responded politely, "I am Cao Kun." As soon as the name Cao Kun was uttered, the polite look on his face disappeared without a trace. At this moment, it was as if the man in the 'presidential uniform' was standing in front of everyone again, except that he didn't have the two big mustaches on his mouth.

"Hey, Lord Cao!"

He Yingqin did not dare to neglect this person. Although he had stepped down and had no real power and was completely in retirement, just by looking at his name, he was a man who once stood on the crest of the times and made waves. How could anyone look down on him?

"Mr. Cao, what are you doing..."

Cao Kun's face was smiling again: "Commander He, I'm old, and I can't control many things I've seen. Even if I saw something, I can only pretend I didn't see it for now." Cao Kun pointed and said: "But these young people are different!" "They protect the people, punish evildoers, and fight corruption, but they give us ordinary people a sigh of relief..."

While talking here, He Yingqin had already turned his head away. Isn't it obvious that Cao Kun is talking nonsense!

Right now the whole thing has not been determined yet, and ordinary people don’t know what happened, but you come to sing their praises. Isn’t this bullshit?
Deputy Director Li quietly stood beside Xu Chaoyang at this critical moment and said, "Your wife has spent a lot of money for you!"

Xu Chaoyang instantly turned his head to look at Deputy Director Li. At this moment, when Liu Zhichang and Zhang Yuan looked over again, everything became clear. They finally knew who was the mastermind behind all this, because Deputy Director Li was waving at them and saying hello.

Cao Kun, born in 1862, is 71 years old this year. At this age, he is still willing to come out and support Xu Chaoyang. Who else can do this except the Yuan family who have helped him?

So when He Yingqin heard his name and what he said, he knew that he was here to bullshit, but on second thought, he really had to receive him!

Rectifying the administration of officials and fighting corruption is one thing. If the rectification of the administration of officials and fighting corruption reaches the point where even Cao Kun speaks out, then it is another matter entirely!
That’s Cao Kun!

The former president!
"Come in, Lord Cao, please come in and let's talk in detail."

He Yingqin supported Cao Kun and entered the office building like a filial son. Deputy Director Li was standing next to Xu Chaoyang and looked at Liu Zhichang and asked, "Chaoyang."

Xu Chaoyang quickly responded: "You go ahead."

"Kill them all, will you?"

Deputy Director Li kept staring at Liu Zhichang and laughed so hard that people got goose bumps: "Hehehe...hehe...hahahahahaha..." Finally, he turned around gorgeously and walked into the office building. Everything seemed to be settled in his laughter.

"Somebody come!"

"Go to Jingxing Coal Mine and arrest people!"

"Old Yang, call all the reporters we can find here and tell them that Chief He worked hard to govern the country and took the lead in fighting corruption in Dagu, which has achieved initial results, attracting Cao Gong and the villagers to send the Ten Thousand People Umbrella!"

"Don't forget the whole umbrella."

Xu Chaoyang never expected that he would have an unexpected gain this time. In addition to the thermal power plant, even the Jingxing Coal Mine could fall into his hands!

"Hey, Adjutant Liu, why are you trembling?"

Liu Zhichang's face turned pale, he never thought that there would be such a day for him. He never thought that he was originally fighting with Xu Chaoyang, but a Daluo Jinxian of the level of Deputy Director Li got involved!

The Logistics and Quartermaster Department, which had always been able to control various military officers, was completely defeated by Liu Zhichang. They came over shamelessly, stood in front of Xu Chaoyang and said, "Captain Xu, Captain Xu, I admit defeat. Please show mercy, please show mercy!"

This forced people to bow their heads under the eaves. Ever since He Yingqin and Cao Kun went upstairs, the rest of the matter had completely fallen into Xu Chaoyang's hands. If he didn't give in at this time, he would not only lose his job.

"Adjutant Liu, what are you saying? I don't understand." Xu Chaoyang was pretending to be confused even though he knew the truth. If Deputy Director Li hadn't called him in advance, he wouldn't even know how he died today!

Liu Zhichang looked at Xu Chaoyang with a bitter face. Before he could speak, Xu Chaoyang said, "However, there is one thing I understand..."

Liu Zhichang looked at him questioningly.

Xu Chaoyang said lightly: "Deputy Director Li told me to kill them all without mercy!" After that, he turned around and snorted coldly, "Sometimes, if you give too much face, even a dog thinks he is a lion!"

In the past, Xu Chaoyang might have had to be humble in front of Liu Zhichang, but since he had the support of the Yuan family and people had removed the two big mountains of Deputy Director Li and Cao Kun, he no longer needed to do so... After all, no one knows who is hiding under this big net, and maybe some of them are people you dare not even think about!
