Face Slapping the General

Darrell died of illness only a day later.

Before he died, he was very calm, and smiled and said, "I really envy the ancients..."

Wu Qiao: "Huh?"

Darrell said, "Before the ancients died, they drank a pot of wine and chanted a poem. How could they be like this, with pipes all over their bodies."

Wu Qiao: "..." There are indeed many tubes on Darrell, which help breathing, heartbeat, and some healing drugs.

"What the hell, you pull it out for me." Darrell said, "I can't do it anymore, I know it very well myself."

"..."

"Don't listen to me?" Darrell said, "Then I will pull it out by myself."

After speaking, he moved his hand and tore off the tube roughly.

Then, Darrell slowly closed his eyes, as if he was a little tired, and he needed to rest for nearly two hundred years.

Darrell slept for several hours.

At one time, Wu Qiao felt that something was wrong, and when he reached out his hand, he found that it was cold.

The base issued an obituary, recalling Darrell's life. On the obituary, he listed in detail his exhausting achievements and his expectations.

The base held a farewell ceremony for him, and some of the main people came to the main ship as the final farewell to Darrell.

All the people were very sad. If they died at the base, all of them could participate, but now they were outside. They were still fighting a crucial battle, and the main ship could not accommodate so many people.

The lights on the ship seemed to be shrouded in light gauze, and the dim light shone weakly on the ground, always having a cold and cold atmosphere.

Wu Qiao gave a speech, thanking Darrell for everything he did, and said that he would inherit his legacy and make this base better.

"How come I suddenly fell ill..." The people at the base had no reason at all, "It was fine before the expedition..."

"..." Only Wu Qiao knew what was going on, but he wouldn't talk about it.

Darrell, he was too sad, his old body couldn't bear the shock, so he couldn't stand it anymore. Wu Qiao thought, if the person he likes is as talented as Nicole, he is treated like that, and finally sees it again, hoping to open the opponent’s mecha, but discovers a more cruel truth, then The truth is enough to make the deceased unable to sleep peacefully, and he might collapse in an instant.

"Major General he asked to carry the coffin out." Someone said, "but there is no coffin now."

Wu Qiao thought for a while, and inserted a sentence: "The size of the box for the shells is not too different, so let's use it for a while."

"…Oh."

"After I go back, I'll change it again."

"One more question," someone asked, "Where will he be buried in the end? He doesn't seem to have any family members?"

"Probably not." Darrell's parents naturally couldn't be alive. Nicole was already dead, and she hadn't been able to have a child as she hoped before she died. Darrell said before that he did not have any siblings, and he envied Wu Qiao. He said that if there is a sibling, after the death of his parents, there will still be people who can talk about the common memories-about that home and about the family People's common memories. At that time, Wu Qiao was surprised that tough guys were also tender. So Darrell, probably, indeed, has spent more than a hundred years alone.

Wu Qiao regretted not asking him where he wanted to go after death.

After thinking about it, Wu Qiao said, "Send it back to his hometown and find other relatives."

So, about Darrell's funeral, it was all set in this way.

After the ceremony, Wu Qiao called several Brigadier Generals: "Brigadier General Renshen, Brigadier General Lu Rong, Brigadier General Lingzhi, we need to discuss the combat strategy."

"..."

Wu Qiao could see that for himself, the three of them were unwilling to obey orders.

After a while, only Renshen nodded and responded "Okay."

Ling Zhi didn't have any special reaction, and Lu Rong directly said to Wu Qiao: "I have something to do. I have to go first. After you discuss it, tell me the result."

Wu Qiao: "..."

When you come up, give yourself a slap in the face...?

Renshen was just promoted to brigadier general. Wu Qiao understood what Darrell meant, that he wanted Renshen to replace Olivier. The base was still the same as before, with three brigadier generals led by three teams, and he was equivalent to the former Darrell, leading the entire army.

Ren Shen was at the same level as Wu Qiao before, and he was just promoted, so he was more polite than others, and didn't want to confront directly.

Wu Qiao also knows how he lacks prestige.

He is still very young, like a hairy boy, not long after he came to the base. Just yesterday he learned from others as a "newcomer".

Darrell is 196 years old and has fought for a lifetime. The people at the base have long been accustomed to being led by "veterans".

When Wu Qiao was a lieutenant colonel, he only brought a small fleet and 6 mechas. Not long ago, after he was promoted to colonel, he commanded 5 general fleets composed of 35 small fleets, with a total of 210 organic armors. Lu Rong and Ling Zhi have been brigadier generals for many years. Each of them has 150 ordinary fleets and about 6,000 mechas. The two of them had always been Wu Qiao's superiors, and suddenly became subordinates. They were really unwilling to listen to Wu Qiao's orders.

In their eyes, apart from killing more enemies each time, Wu Qiao really couldn't see his military talents.

Lingzhi is a female, not very fierce, but Lu Rong behaves very clearly, obviously he does not ignore Wu Qiao.

He also knew about Olivier. In his mind, after Darrell's death, he should be the successor, because Olivier himself withdrew from the competition. After knowing that Olivier had rebelled, Lu Rong was very happy. He felt like a pie fell on his head and was waiting to eat it! In this period of time, every time he thinks about this, he wants to laugh a few times!

He took it for granted that he was the No. 2 figure in the base, second only to Darrell, and that was actually the case during that time.

As a result, Darrell was promoted to Wu Qiao!

A stupid kid!

Just promoted to brigadier general, do you want to lead the base?

How can this make him bow his head and proclaim himself? !

The entire base was watching his jokes-if you really listened to Wu Qiao, it would be too embarrassing!

Lu Rong waved his hand and left, and the meeting had to be dismissed. Wu Qiao felt very angry.

And he knew that this was just the beginning.

Sure enough, after that, Lu Rong became even more vigorous.

He didn't listen to Wu Qiao's orders at all, and even publicly opposed it.

He always regarded himself as an elder and a mentor, telling Wu Qiao what to do, and wanted to suppress the young leader Wu Qiao and be the actual behind-the-scenes commander himself.

Once, after Wu Qiao formulated a replenishment plan, Lu Rong directly stated in public that it would not work: "Brigadier General Wu Qiao."

Wu Qiao: "..."

"This supply plan seems too naive."

Wu Qiaoqiang suppressed his anger.

Lu Rong said again: "You are still young and have too little experience, so you can't be completely blamed for making this strategy. I'll write one and you can use it."

"Oh?"

Lu Rong immediately drew a plan.

After reading it, Wu Qiao put the paper aside and said, "I have my considerations. The reason I chose this type of supply ship is that each of them can carry 30,000 tons of materials, which can be used by 15 fleets for 10 days. According to regulations, the ship and the mecha brake materials must not be less than 50%, and not less than 90% before the war. In the battle two days ago, our side suffered a lot. Then there was another fierce battle. It must be very sufficient!"

"That's why you said your thoughts were naive." Lu Rong knocked on the table. "They do have a larger capacity, but at the same time they have weak defenses. We should make sure to arrive first!"

"Large capacity can reduce the number of trips to and from the base. From a defensive point of view, there is actually no sacrifice." Wu Qiao said displeasedly, "I have decided to use this plan."

"Defensive power is fundamental, don't always take risks." Lu Rong said, "Hey, think about it carefully. Let's talk about the next issue first."

"No need!" Wu Qiao said with a cold face, "I have decided." Wu Qiao knew that if he changed his proposal just now, Lu Rong would still antagonize him.

"How can this be done?" Lu Rong shook his head, "It is very bad not to listen to advice and go your own way, not to mention that you are still so young. This is not the case when the old and young generals are still here. Don't be angry with me, just insist on you. This is the current top priority. It involves the lives of soldiers. You must think twice, so that you can live up to the major general."

"..." Darrell was indeed very enlightened. However, that situation is different from now, Darrell is not a "puppet".

Wu Qiao swept everyone present.

Obviously, everyone was affected by Lu Rong.

It seems that if you don't "reconsider", you are just being mad and irresponsible.

They don't necessarily think that Lu Rong's actions are right, but they support Lu Rong. They seemed to think that isolating Wu Qiao and letting the troops "listen" to Lu Rong was the best way under the current situation.

They think Wu Qiao is just a child.

Wu Qiao was so angry that his hands trembled slightly.

However, he is not really "willing to go his own way."

Finally, he said noncommitantly, "I will think about it again, but it should, that's it."

Just one day later, something happened again.

Wuqiao continued to organize the meeting layout plan.

It is still their fleet that will take on the task of attacking again, so a plan is needed.

He walked into the conference room and found that Lu Rong hadn't arrived.

"..."

It was a long time before Lu Rong arrived late.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Lu Rong greeted everyone present, "Let's start now."

Say it as if he is the boss.

"Lu Rong." Wu Qiao stared at him and asked, "Why do you make your own claim and let the soldiers rest for a long time?"

"Ok?"

"Furthermore, Lingzhi and Renshen were united, and the three formations were resting at the same time!"

When is this now? Attack again soon!

Wu Qiao felt a little disheartened.

Lu Rongling Zhirenshen and the three brigadier generals, all want to surrender command power?

Let Lu Rong take command of this battle, so he can retreat behind the scenes with peace of mind?

They just don't trust themselves?

Wu Qiao knew very well in his heart that Lu Rong made his own proposition many times and did not let himself know!

Moreover, he directly notified Ling Zhi and Ren Shen, and indirectly commanded the entire fleet. Ling Zhi and Ren Shen also listened to him, the three of them joined forces to stand up for themselves!

"Oh," Lu Rong leaned back in his chair, "I don't think I need to let you know."

"..."

"This is a matter for several of our formations, and we have the right to make this arrangement."

"So," Wu Qiao asked, staring at him, "may I know the reason for this arrangement?"

"You don't need to know." Lu Rong said again, "We can do all these things ourselves, just take care of the others."

Wu Qiao was in a fury again.

He restrained himself, tried not to breathe hard, and said: "I want to know now, please explain."

"You really don't care too much." Lu Rong treats Wu Qiao as a child, and he has no fear at all.

After a pause, he said: "We just take care of those common things."

"Please explain!"

Lu Rong shrugged.

"Brigadier General Lu Rong." Wu Qiao saw his lazy posture, and his voice became a little serious, "Stand at attention and stand still."

"You told me to stand upright?" Lu Rong seemed to hear something funny. "You asked me to stand upright?!"

"..."

Lu Rong still didn't move.

"Since you insist on not observing the order," Wu Qiao felt that he couldn't bear it. "In accordance with military discipline, demote and demote."

"…Ok?"

"Go back and wait for the official notice."

"Huh." Lu Rong stood up, turned around and slammed the door away.

Ling Zhi and Ren Shen looked at each other.

Wu Qiao felt a little surprised.

Demotion plus demotion is a very serious matter for a soldier.

But Lu Rong doesn't seem to matter...

Wu Qiao carefully promoted a person and asked him to command Lu Rong's formation.

That person was in Lu Rong's team before, and Wu Qiao felt that the opponent would know the formation better.

At this time, it is really not a wise choice to transfer someone who is not familiar with the formation.

It's really a taboo to change coaches on the fly.

But "handsome" doesn't listen to him, Wu Qiao really has no choice.

But immediately, Wu Qiao discovered that the situation had not changed much.

Lu Rong acted like a commander without giving orders.

—New commander, listen to Lu Rong.

Like Ling Zhi and Ren Shen, he didn't seem to be disobedient, but in fact he didn't put Wu Qiao in his eyes.

They opposed Wu Qiao, but their tone was good.

Being a sandwich biscuit is also quite difficult.

He is Lu Rong's old subordinate, and he has become accustomed to taking orders.

However, in Lu Rong's formation, who is not his old subordinate?

Wu Qiao realized why Lu Rong was so confident that day.

Rather than being a brigadier general commander who listened to Wu Qiao's orders, he would rather have actual control rights like this.

As long as he can get the support of the base people, it will be a matter of time before Wu Qiao is driven off. At that time, he was naturally able to resume his post and even get what he wanted.

This kind of military opposition to the chief has also happened in the past. Sometimes the military chooses to support the chief, but more often it will not.

"..."

When Tan Yan contacted him, Wu Qiao was frustrated.

He felt a deep sense of frustration.

Wu Qiao lay on his back with his arms circled, and buried his head in his arms.

"How's it going?" Tan Yan asked, "I'm very happy, right?" According to Wu Qiao's personality, he must feel very cool.

"...Hmm." Wu Qiao raised his head, not wanting to let Tan Yan know that he was really uncomfortable at this time.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"…Okay."

"What's wrong with you?" Tan Yan asked.

"It's okay."

"What exactly is going on?"

"Really all right." Wu Qiao buried his head in the middle of his arms again, "General..."

"Ok?"

"I want you."

"me too."

"..." After hearing this, Wu Qiao felt that it was not that difficult.

He wants not to ask for help from Tan Yan or Sinus for the time being, this matter needs to be solved by himself.

Even if he moved the rescuer to talk about it, the people on the base would still not obey him, just like a monitor who called a class teacher, the monitor himself was still not taken seriously.

He has to go through this stage by himself.

Of course, if needed, he will ask for help.

He didn't ask Tan Yan what he did at the time, because Tan Yan didn't do anything at all. Tan Yan has always been referred to as a genius, and he can always win by surprise by performing military exploits, and he is promoted step by step, and there is no such thing as Wu Qiao.

Wu Qiao wants to try to overcome difficulties by himself.

As a person who is determined to be different from others, he does not want to rely on his lover at every step.

After the communication was over, Lu Rong arrived with the new commander of the formation.

"About the supply ship," Lu Rong sat down in a chair, "how are you thinking about it?"

"I still think the first plan is the best."

"Why are you so stubborn?" Lu Rong said, "Newcomers should listen more to their opinions."

"I am the commander here," Wu Qiao stood upright. "You can make your suggestion, but the decision whether to adopt it or not lies with me, and the final responsibility is also with me! If I say no, you will only I can listen!"

"I can't watch Libra's tendency to fail in vain." Lu Rong said, "You think about it again, I will come back after dinner." After speaking, Lu Rong got up and patted his army pants.

"..."

When Lu Rong passed by, Wu Qiao was so angry that he fell a teacup!

This kind of uselessness really makes him unbearable!

In the past, he often saw Lu Rong. At that time, he felt that Lu Rong was not an easy person to get along with, but he never thought that Lu Rong would one day be so lawless.

What can be done...whatever it seems, it's all wrong.

Just thinking about it, Ji Yao came.

"Ji Yao." Wu Qiao barely cheered up.

"Wu Qiao, I heard that all three brigadier generals ignore you."

Wu Qiao smiled bitterly: "You have also heard of it."

"So, what are you going to do?" Ji Yao asked again, "Now, Lu Rong looks like a boss."

"I know." Wu Qiao's mouth was astringent.

"So you let him do this?"

"Of course not," Wu Qiao replied, "I'm thinking of a way."

"any solution?"

"Well," Wu Qiao sighed, "Let Lu Rong be locked up, you must control him first."

Ji Yao: "..."

"what's happenin?"

"that's all?"

"There are others."

"What else does it mean?"

"Seek support from the general and let Tan Yan tell them that my order is his order-I believe I can do this."

Ji Yao: "..."

After sighing, he said to Wu Qiao: "I don't think this is the best way."

Wu Qiao: "..."

Ji Yao continued to explain: "The confinement is too light, and there is no deterrent effect, and it will come out soon, it is not painful at all. What if Lu Rong is locked up? Will the other two be afraid of you? ? No, they still don't fear you, or think you are just a child."

"..."

"It can only make Lu Rong disappear temporarily, but what if he doesn't come out to make trouble now? The three brigadier generals still don't care about you and nothing will change. Lu Rong is locked up and they immediately treat you as you Personality-there is no such good thing at all."

"Even demoting and demotion did not improve the situation. The situation just got worse. Now it is the same no matter who goes up. You have no reason to withdraw the current three people. Moreover, you can't always change the command. Official? It looks like you are like a big joke, you can’t shake the people in your base at all. You must fundamentally change the status quo, quickly establish your majesty, and let everyone be jealous of you, afraid of you, never again Dare to put you in your eyes."

After a pause, Ji Yao said again: "Go, please come to support you, and it will not change the status quo. Yes, this trick will definitely work, but it will not change the essence. Even if you have some scruples, you will temporarily listen to the command. For you, it doesn't matter in my heart, and I won't take you seriously."

Wu Qiao also understands this.

Ji Yao said again: "This matter must be resolved, and the sooner it is resolved, the better. The longer it takes, the more disadvantaged it will be for you, and the more it will endanger your authority."

"..."

"Now that the war is coming, this is very deadly." Ji Yao said again, "I think the commander is just a child, and the army can exert half of its power at most."

"So what is your suggestion?" Wu Qiao asked Ji Yao.

"In my opinion," Ji Yao replied, "demotion, demotion, penalties and confinement... These methods are too routine, as if they were acting in accordance with a textbook."

"...?"

"If you want to establish majesty and make others fear you and dare not make trouble in front of you, you must do a very cruel thing...very cruel, something that no one thought you would do."

"Ok?"

"I mean, doing something very cruel to Lu Rong, because now other people are learning from Lu Rong, and they decide what they should do based on his actions. Lu Rong is a target."

"But what else can I do?" Wu Qiao felt a little headache, "how else can I treat Lu Rong?"

Ji Yao's face was calm, he said, "Kill."

"Are you crazy Ji Yao?!" Wu Qiao was shocked, "How do you get this kind of advice? How can you point the gun at your own person?!"

"Lu Rong has done something beyond your imagination. It's not a shame to have violated many military disciplines. It's not a pity to kill." Ji Yao looked as usual, "Do you know, how much property did he embezzle during the construction of the base? He, this person, has always been They are all bold, often desperate, never thinking about failure. It used to be, and it is now."

"Don't tell me," Wu Qiao interrupted him, "These things can be dealt with according to law, and cannot be executed in secret. I will not do it if the name is not right. I can't use this method to deter people. Convinced."

"In this special period now, the most important thing is not to serve the people," Ji Yao said again, "but to establish power first, so that the people under you are afraid of you, dare not resist your orders, and have no two minds about orders. I'll talk about other things later, if you lead them to win the war, they will naturally believe you."

"No." Wu Qiao flatly denied him.

"Why can't you?" Ji Yao frowned, "This kind of thing, from ancient times to the present, which young person has never done it?"

"It's not in the period of the ancient earth! Killing Liwei is not working!"

Ji Yao's face remained calm: "That set will be easy to use no matter when it comes."

"..."

"If you can't make the move, I will kill him for you." Ji Yao said, "I said earlier that we must fulfill Su Yiqing's last wish and help you reach the top of the military. With your naive personality, it is absolutely It can't be done."

"..."

Wu Qiao looked at Ji Yao. Before, Ji Yao was not like this. After Su Yiqing's death, he turned out to be like this, daring to do anything for the so-called "last wish".

Ji Yao said again: "He will come again tonight, won't you? I'll do it at that time."

"No." Wu Qiao closed his eyes, "I don't allow anyone to shoot at his own."

Ji Yao shook his head, as if hating it for indisputability.

"You go first, Ji Yao."

"I will come over tonight."

After Ji Yao left, Wu Qiao only felt weak.

Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that what Ji Yao said is correct.

Just using regular tricks, regular tricks like textbooks, will still be regarded as a hairy kid.

The war is imminent, and this atmosphere is very unfavorable.

But he can't do it if he kills a hundred. No matter how many people were killed in the past, Wu Qiao resisted this practice in his heart.

Suddenly, he had an idea in his mind.

But... it is still difficult for him to accept.

Wu Qiao hesitated for three hours.

During this period, he had to draw lots, toss coins, count odd and even numbers...All kinds of methods have been used, and all the methods have made him not hesitate, but he still has difficulty making decisions.

He doesn't want to do that, but...

This kind of atmosphere is really problematic.

If you can't make people afraid of yourself, you might really have a big problem.

Wu Qiao thought about the feeling of powerlessness he felt when Sheng Chongguang and Su Yiqing died, and finally made up his mind.

"Ji Yao." Wu Qiao turned on the communication device.

"Have you decided?"

"Yeah." Wu Qiao said, "Tonight, you and I locked up Lu Rong. After the battle is over, we will hand over to the military court for disposal."

"..."

"Then..." Wu Qiao paused, letting his breathing flow smoothly, his hands and palms were all sweaty, and he said with a trembling voice, "It was announced tomorrow morning that Lu Rong died this evening.

They both came to tell a lie—

Let the three brigadier generals be jealous of him, and no longer treat him as a cowering, uninitiated, and at the mercy of him with no hair.

As for serving the public... When it was announced that Lu Rong was not dead, he would no longer be unable to serve the public.

Ji Yao: "...Yes."

…

-Early the next morning, Wu Qiao called all the main generals to the main ship and announced that Lu Rong was dead.

The night before, he was killed on the main ship.

Lu Rong, after dinner, brought a gun into the main ship, forced the officer to sign, and adopted his supply advice. After the officer categorically refused, he took out to intimidate the officer. Captain Ji Yao saw this scene of drawing his gun to block, and one missed the opponent and killed him.

"The corpse is also placed in the shell box." Wu Qiao tried his best to use a calm voice, "Under the circumstances, Captain Ji Yao made a gun to stop it and there was nothing wrong with it. This matter will be judged by the military court when he goes back."

"..." There was deathly silence below.

The atmosphere was so serious for the first time.

No one was joking for the first time.

No one thought that such a thing would happen.

No one thought that Lu Rong would end up like this in the end when he confronted Wu Qiao for a few days.

After all the explanations were over, Wu Qiao stopped Ling Zhi and Ren Shen who were about to leave.

"Ling Zhi, Ren Shen." Wu Qiao said, "discuss the battle plan at 10 o'clock."

Ling Zhi: "...Yes."

Renshen: "...Yes."

Looking at them, Wu Qiao felt that maybe, as Ya Jiu said, he really changed.
