Chapter 045
"Brother Beimen, should you give me an explanation for this?" Li Xuantong sat behind the wide desk, looking at the holographic portrait presented in front of him, with a very bad expression.
"Brother Li, I don't know how to identify people and use them improperly. I will never shirk the responsibilities I should bear. But now the situation is tense, so I'll do it first."
The person who spoke with Li Xuantong was an old man in military uniform. Although his hair and beard were white, his eyes were sharp and firm, giving people a feeling of a sharp steel knife.
Beimen Baluo, commander-in-chief of the Thunder Cloud Planet Fleet.
The two people on the phone are undoubtedly the two most powerful people in Leiyunxing. One is the top leader of the government and the other is the supreme commander of the army.
On this planet, there are not many things that can allow these two people to discuss together. Even some cooperation is left to the people below to deal with, at most it is just a message. The last time the two of them made a call was because they declared war on the New Third District. But this time, the source was just an undercover mission.
The case of the Shi family in Xiadao is a major case, but it is just that the nature is too bad and the director and the commander-in-chief need to be investigated, and they do not need to be handled personally. However, the director of the Intelligence Department Ma Xiao's self-decision made the situation deteriorate instantly to the point where even the two big bosses felt difficult.
Ma Xiao contacted the Xiadao City Security Command and an interstellar warship in the 23rd District in the name of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and asked them to cooperate with the Intelligence Department to implement military control on Xiadao City.
It seems to be just a simple request for cooperation, but its actual nature is very serious.
Interstellar warships are heavy weapons that can fight in the universe. Even the smallest planetary rank is 1,000 meters long, and the conventionally equipped troops reach more than 10,000 people. The captain is only a powerful S-level man. Such powerful combat power is enough to destroy Xiadao City dozens of round trips.
Fortunately, the warship commander strictly abides by the regulations and reports the news to the General Staff Headquarters as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the warship is really driven to Xiadao City, the Shi family will have to make a big fuss no matter how unfair they don’t want to cause trouble.
A small Shi family cannot subvert the government, and even a rebellion like the New Third District cannot be achieved. But with their energy, it can cause Xia Dao City to fall into a riot.
Eliminating a Shi family is nothing to the General Administration and the Military Department, and any party can easily deal with it. But if you don’t hurt the innocent and keep Xia Island, known as the pearls of the sea, is not as simple as it seems.
The Shi family has been rooted in Xia Island for many years and is a typical local clan force, with a wide range of involvement in all aspects. The grassroots backbone of the government and even the army, as well as people from all walks of life, have Shi family members. If they are misunderstood as cleaning up the family, it will lead to a rebound of the entire clan force.
The reason why the General Administration and the Military Affairs Department chose to cooperate was to avoid this to the greatest extent. Ma Xiao's private actions ruined all efforts.
"There is a solution." Li Xuantong still had a dark face: "Although the warships have not passed, the garrison in the security area has begun to take action, and the old houses in Shijia and its surrounding streets are surrounded by the army. Let's bother Brother Beimen to give an order to let all the soldiers withdraw to the garrison."
"My Director, it's time, don't be angry with me anymore." Beimen Baluo smiled bitterly:
"Although there are only one brigade in the ten brigades of Xiadao Guard Area, the leader of the Shi family is from the Shi family. More than half of the grassroots officers and even several deputy brigade leaders are inseparable from the Shi family. The riots are about to break out. If there is no solution, how dare I let them retreat."
"I'm not angry with you. If those soldiers don't retreat quickly, something will happen." Li Xuantong knocked on the table: "I dare to promise you that the Shi family had never thought of rebelling. Now those soldiers are poking, the Shi family will definitely be a hundred times more nervous than us. Everyone will be happy to withdraw early, but if they keep consuming this, there will always be times when they can't hold back."
Li Xuantong was right. Just when the two big guys were having a TV meeting, the top figures in the Shi family collectively became three times bigger.
They made this happen today, which was a confrontation of the investigation, but it was even more a test of the government. They knew the dirty things on themselves, and since clues had been found, they were destined to be unhealthy. Now the Shi family just wanted to know where the bottom line between the General Administration and the Military Affairs Department was.
Should I be able to keep my safety by handing over the illegal income and a few scapegoats, or should I take the opportunity to kill the Shi family?
If it is the former, the Shi family can cut off their arms to survive and maintain the family's vitality. As long as the bloodline is endless, there will always be a chance to make a comeback. But if it is the latter, even if it is the latter, even if it is the failure, it will not be able to sit still and die.
A large number of troops suddenly dispatched, obviously to tear the face apart. The Shi family was already ready to fight desperately. But before they could fight, the military's actions suddenly ended.
It was said that it was a compromise, no one came out to negotiate. It was said that it was going to start a fight, but there was no clear order. Both sides were in a difficult situation and they were stalemate.
Now, both the government and the Shi family are thinking about countermeasures. No matter how you think about it, there is no proper solution.
"If it really doesn't work, I can only do it." Beimen Baluo sighed: "There is no turning back when he opens the bow. Even if this incident can be resolved safely, the Shi family will be a frightened bird, and something will happen sooner or later."
"Shaodao City must not be in chaos!" Li Xuantong immediately expressed his objection: "It is easy to wipe out the Shi family. Your soldiers patted their butts and left a big mess. Who will clean up for me? The chaos in the new third district is not counted, plus a twenty-third district?! Brother Beimen, do you think I, the director, have done too easily?"
"I can only think of this method." Beimen Baluo spread his hands: "Ma Xiao lacks a view of the overall situation, but he is not lacking in brains. Since he has created this situation, no one can break the situation. That kid has been locked up by me now, otherwise he will be released and let him think about his ideas?"
"You'd better not let me see him again!" Li Xuantong was so angry that he was filled with anger when he mentioned Ma Xiao, and his eyes were even more disappointed.
Li Xuantong has always liked this old friend's son. He once compared him with Li Hong together, thinking that Ma Xiao would have a bright future in the future.
For a long time, Ma Xiao has been performing well, otherwise he would not have been the director of the Intelligence Department at a young age. But he did not expect that Ma Xiao would do such a thing. Apart from his own tasks, he almost did not consider the subsequent impact.
Li Mu has always been arbitrary, but he has never made a real big fuss, and he even helped solve the problem in his own way. Ma Xiao has been doing serious things, but it turned out that it was such a big trouble when something happened.
And what made Li Xuantong even more annoyed, he had a vague feeling that Ma Xiao was probably not an accident, but did it on purpose.
Ma Xiao is the son of an old friend, and he is not under his jurisdiction. He is not in charge of many things. So he just hinted with Ma Chunxin and did not tell Beimen Baluo about his guess. However, now it seems that Beimen Baluo may not have noticed it.
"Let's wait and see first." Li Xuantong: "The people from the Xiadao Municipal Investigation Bureau have passed. As long as the conflict can be resolved, there will be a chance to recover things."
"The Bureau of Investigation can't help." Beimen Baluo shook his head: "Now it's already playing the clear card. The Shi family is using city security as bargaining chips and forcing the government to compromise. If we don't give in, the riots will basically be inevitable."
Li Xuantong did not refute the Beimen Baluo, but only expressed his ambiguously and waited a little.
But Li Xuantong did not wait for the Bureau of Investigation, and he did not expect official forces to solve the problem.
The person the director really needs to rely on is Li Mu.
