Tan Mingchao looked at Xin Chaojie with a smile and suddenly asked: "Uncle Xin, if I remember correctly, you are fifty-two years old this year, right?"
Xin Chaojie nodded slowly: "Yes, fifty-two."
"Sigh." Tan Mingchao sighed: "The veteran generals who fought with my father together are now old."
Xin Chaojie smiled stiffly and nodded.
"If nothing else happens, in six or seven years, you will be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and return to the headquarters to be the head of the government affairs unit. You will be killing your time and then retire." Tan Mingchao looked at Xin Chaojie: "Actually, I
Dad has always been very concerned about the future of you veteran generals, and is also thinking of ways and opportunities to pave the way for you."
When Xin Chaojie heard this, his heart suddenly dropped.
"But the robbery of military equipment has disrupted many of my father's arrangements." Tan Mingchao said helplessly: "The investigation team is here, and its main direction is to investigate our garrison. Although there is nothing wrong with us, it is impossible to let anything happen to us.
They show off their power in Dragon City unscrupulously, are you right?"
"Yeah." Xin Chaojie nodded expressionlessly.
The two looked at each other, and the smile on Tan Mingchao's face disappeared, and he said in a calm and powerful voice: "Let's forget it. As far as the commander of the regiment is concerned, he is a collaborator and you are derelict in your duties. Retire early and save your dignity.
If you keep your military rank and land safely, you won't have to worry about it in the future."
"call!"
Xin Chaojie let out a long breath: "Is this what the commander means?"
"This is your best way out." Tan Mingchao replied with a serious face: "It's not that the higher-ups don't work hard to protect you, but they insist on insisting and confronting the investigation team. In the end, they will investigate again and again, just in case there is another investigation
If you do something bad... the result might not be as good as what it is now."
These words were full of coercion, but Xin Chaojie could also understand that it was not that the old commander Tan Hengqiang was too cruel, but that the problem was with the Third Division. If the garrison Corps wanted to avoid being implicated, it could only cut off the hidden dangers with one blow.
A strong man cuts off his wrist and stops his losses in time.
Xin Chaojie felt that he was unlucky and aggrieved. If he retired normally, he would not resist, but now what Tan Mingchao meant was to convict him of dereliction of duty. In this case, he would have to carry
The honors earned through a lifetime of work are not as dazzling as this stain.
Is it okay not to agree? As Tan Mingchao said, once the investigation team is angered, they will dig endlessly. If they are corrupt and accept bribes, they will have to find out everything about buying and selling officials. Don't do it then.
It is possible that he landed with stains on his face, that he was stripped of his clothes and sent to a military court.
At this moment, Xin Chaojie knew that he had no choice. He could only nod and respond: "I am convinced of the commander's wisdom. I will listen to the superiors."
"Don't worry, Uncle Xin, I guarantee you with my personality that as long as you do as I say, you will land safely in the end. Moreover, you, the Third Division, will have more families, and several regiment leaders are related to you.
, the middle and high-level officers below are either your disciples or the key generals who have followed you for many years. I can assure you that after you go down, the positions of these people will not change, and they will gradually be reused in the future."
Tan Mingchao stood up slowly, looked at the other person and added.
That's right, although Xin Chaojie has long since chosen to lie down, and usually only engages in corruption and idle life, his division has a very good foundation. From the grassroots officers to the core generals, almost all of them are his core direct descendants. And this is why
The reason why Tan Mingchao was very polite to him was because the Xin Chaojie family was quite energetic. Secondly, he was also obedient and did not invite disaster or cause trouble in these years, secretly creating a lot of wealth for Tan Hengqiang.
Xin Chaojie was implicated in this arms robbery incident, purely because he was unlucky, or someone had plotted against him.
"Okay. I will follow the commander's arrangements." Xin Chaojie had already made a decision in his heart.
Tan Mingchao looked at him: "Call the regimental staff officer of the 112th regiment to come over. I have something to tell him."
"Okay." Xin Chaojie nodded.
…
The commander of the 122nd Regiment of the Third Division of the Garrison Corps was the regiment-level officer who was first arrested. He claimed that he was drunk that night because he was entertaining friends, so he did not command the troops to seal the road in time, which caused the robbers to escape.
The leader of this regiment is called Yang Gang, who is also a veteran military officer who has followed Xin Chaojie for many years. He has parents, a wife and children at home, and he supports the whole family by himself.
It's about four o'clock in the afternoon.
In a teahouse opposite the garrison headquarters hospital, the regimental staff officer of the 112th Regiment came with Yang Gang's wife to meet Tan Mingchao.
"Sir Tan, this is Yang Gang's lover." The regimental staff member introduced him politely.
Tan Mingchao was obviously not so polite to the leader's wife, and nodded with no expression on his face.
"Mr. Tan!! Please help my old Yang, he is really wronged... You said that he has worked in the Longcheng garrison for so many years, and his family business is here. There must be control over his official position, and the upper leadership has no control over him.
That's good, he has no reason to rob any military goods! Someone is obviously setting the blame on him!" Yang Gang's wife said very excitedly.
"Don't shout, listen to me." Tan Mingchao looked at the other party coldly: "I will arrange for you to meet Yang Gang...!"
"Thank you, I will definitely persuade him!"
"Don't interrupt me, listen to me!" Tan Mingchao glared.
Yang Gang's lover shut up immediately.
"When you meet him, you have to do work for him." Tan Mingchao warned him softly.
Half an hour later.
Yang Gang's lover left the teahouse with a lonely look. Before getting in the car, Tan Mingchao's guard put a huge suitcase in her car.
…
After talking to Yang Gang's lover, Tan Mingchao said to the regimental staff officer of the 112th regiment alone: "When Yang Gang's work is done, you go to the investigation team to report him!"
"Report him for what?" the chief of staff asked.
"Report him for collaborating with the enemy and participating in the robbery of armaments." Tan Mingchao intervened and said: "Didn't you drink on the day of the incident? Just tell the investigation team that you secretly met with Tongji Association members on that day! Yang Gang accepted a large amount of
Bribery, so I decided to cooperate with the other party's actions. I will find a bank to help you make transfer records of large amounts of money!"
"But...but this matter is not on the line. We have never contacted the Tongji Association." The regiment staff member was confused.
"Money can make the world go round!" Tan Mingchao replied calmly: "Lu Feng, Wei Xiangzuo, and the Coders Association are all related to Su Tianyu! Just get a few of their gangsters and make them spit. That's it.
You can bite the Tongji Club! As long as there is enough evidence and the investigation team can close the case, this matter will be over! If it doesn't work, the Nongchi Army will do it! Leave the clues to Zhao Weihu! They are outside the district, investigating
Unless the team can completely annihilate the Chi army, it is impossible to verify the testimony with Zhao Weihu in person! This is equivalent to having no evidence, so that the investigation team can quickly close the case."
"...!" The regimental staff member looked at the other party in astonishment, not expecting that this matter could be done in this way.
"You will also be suspended and dismissed from get out of class, but you don't have to worry. Our garrison has so much business in Dragon City, it will be enough to support you for the rest of your life."
"clear!"
…
at the same time.
Su Tianyu called Dabai, Wei Xiangzuo, and Lu Feng, handed them a piece of information directly, and said softly: "Yang Gang, follow this line and check his current situation and details!"?
