"Boom boom boom" the earth suddenly shook, and in the night, lines of fire cut through the sky. Fireballs flew up from the south bank of the river and fell to the north bank of the river.
Lu Ming stood on the river bank and put down the telescope in his hand because it was difficult to see the situation on the opposite side.
In the dark night sky, the gorgeous fireworks seem very beautiful and spectacular.
In fact, think about it, every time a firework falls, it may be the death of several living lives.
The people who control these terrifying killing machines may be the warlords attacked and scolded by the public media, and it seems that they can scold them to their heart's content.
But from the perspective of individual civilians, how small and insignificant are we in front of these people
And I am becoming a member of the group that holds terrifying power.
Sighing softly, Lu Ming looked at Yu Luan, Da Guo, Xiao Guo and others beside him. They were all wearing officer uniforms and standing solemnly behind him.
I have resumed my role as Chairman Lu Ming, and this was also the advice of my office staff.
For such a fruitful raid, he must be present at the front line of the battlefield in person and appear to be the one who planned and commanded it personally. This will be the first step to establish his authority in the army and among the people. In regions with rich humanities such as the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River and the four provinces in the north of the Yangtze River, people tend to worship and follow the strong.
As the sky gradually brightened, the fireballs flying from the south bank of the river gradually became sparse.
Then, bursts of roars were heard in the sky, and more than a dozen huge aircraft circled over the heads of Lu Ming and others, flying quickly towards Jiangbei.
It was the aviation brigade of the Joint Matrix, going to clear out the remaining enemy positions.
The war reporters who had been remaining silent in the distance were allowed to come forward.
The guards around Lu Ming had long been replaced by extremely solemn guards who were armed with live ammunition.
The flashbulbs started flashing instantly.
Lu Ming ignored them and looked through the telescope at the devastated battlefield in Jiangbei with billowing smoke.
The makeshift wooden barracks had completely disappeared, and some human figures emerging from the black smoke were ruthlessly shot to death by the machine guns on the helicopters.
There were also helicopters flying low, and the soldiers on them threw cluster grenades into the openings on the roofs of the tanks that had not yet been blown up. Before the explosion, the helicopters flew away at an extremely fast speed.
Lu Ming watched quietly for a while, then turned and left. The overall situation had been decided and there was nothing to worry about.
The reporters were then led to the river bank and began to take pictures of the other side.
They were even more envious of the two military newspaper reporters who boarded the helicopter. Fortunately, according to the agreement signed between the military and them, the precious photos taken by the military newspaper reporters would be shared with them, and everyone would be able to publish the news of the raid at the first time without favoritism.
In fact, they received a notice the day before yesterday that they were only going to participate in a military exercise, but their personal freedom was restricted when they arrived at the assembly point.
I was worried at first, but I didn't expect it to be such big news. So, the fear and fatigue of this day and night were completely worth it.
…
Military Control Commission, this morning's morning paper is all about the news of the Beiyingkou raid that broke out yesterday.
The ace troops of Jiangbei warlord Gao Baoshan, the so-called armored regiment, were completely wiped out.
Of course, its armored regiment had two to three thousand people, and the casualties were actually only a few hundred at most, but most of its heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles were indeed scrapped. This was clearly shown in the press photos of most media in Jiangning Province. From this perspective, it can indeed be said that its armored regiment has been destroyed.
The military control committee members, including the Black Mountain Brigade Commander Hu Dingshan, only received the notice at the moment the war broke out.
The rest of the committee members were more familiar with the military intelligence reports they saw after the war.
But when I read the newspaper this morning, I realized that the military intelligence report was not exaggerated, and everyone was in turmoil.
Then look at the young chairman sitting in the conference room, and see the majestic photos of him supervising the battle on the front line in the newspaper news.
The feelings of the members of the Military Control Commission were even more complicated.
Hu Dingshan was laughing, but he could not say in front of everyone that he had not participated in this military operation from beginning to end, and at most he got the news a few hours earlier than you guys.
Before Lu Ming entered the venue, he could only force a smile in response to the committee members' congratulations and praises.
"Well, I think, before I came back, all my colleagues were discussing this war." As soon as Lu Ming opened his mouth, the conference room immediately became extremely quiet, and the atmosphere seemed to be completely different from before.
"Thanks to you all, my frontline soldiers fought hard and achieved good results, hitting the arrogance of Jiangbei warlord Gao Baoshan. Next, I think we will have a series of negotiations with Gao Baoshan."
As he spoke, Lu Ming looked at Hu Dingshan and said, "The new army needs to undergo more rigorous military training. At the same time, they need to carry out a series of ideological education. We will talk about this later. This surprise attack also exposed many problems."
Hu Dingshan forced a smile and nodded.
At this time, someone knocked on the office door, and several prosecutors in dark blue uniforms came in. The leader approached Lu Ming, bent over and whispered something in Lu Ming's ear, and Lu Ming nodded.
Several prosecutors then came behind Zhu Datong, and the leading prosecutor showed his ID to Zhu Datong, "Montenegro Procuratorate, Zhu Datong, you are suspected of multiple illegal and criminal acts, please come with us and assist in the investigation!"
Everyone present looked at this scene in surprise.
Zhu Datong was stunned and said to Lu Ming: "Chairman! I am an official appointed and managed by the Provincial Government. You have no right to replace me!"
Obviously, Zhu Datong is not stupid. He knows that people were arrested by the Procuratorate at the Military Control Commission meeting. That means the Procuratorate must have obtained Lu Ming's permission, and it is very likely that it was Lu Ming's instruction.
Despite this, he still called Lu Ming "Chairman" and did not dare to do anything out of line, such as making noise or making sarcastic remarks.
Perhaps deep down, unconsciously, I finally developed a genuine respect for this young committee leader.
Lu Ming said nothing, just waved his hand.
"Mr. Zhu Datong, please come in!" The leading prosecutor made a gesture of invitation.
Zhu Datong gritted his teeth, stood up, and left the venue with the help of several prosecutors who seemed to be supporting him but were actually restraining him.
There was complete silence in the meeting room. Everyone knew that the young chairman deliberately arrested people in the meeting to establish his authority, but this scene was indeed shocking, and it made people feel an inexplicable fear.
Judge Sharif, the observer sitting at the far end of the oval conference table, sighed softly in his heart. This young legal genius, in this chaotic place, finally followed the path of his predecessors and started his new life with dictatorship and power.
Is this another kind of irony
…
Hu Dingshan followed Lu Ming into Lu Ming's office.
Yu Luan served the tea and left, closing the door gently.
Hu Dingshan handed over a letter and said with a smile, "Please approve it, Chairman."
Lu Ming opened it and saw that it was a report from Hu Dingshan requesting to establish a deputy brigade commander in the Black Mountain Brigade.
He analyzed the structure of the Montenegro Brigade headquarters and believed that the position of deputy brigade commander of the Montenegro Brigade had been vacant for a long time, resulting in insufficient command power of the brigade headquarters.
Finally, he requested to resign from the post of commander of the Black Mountain Brigade, and Commissioner Lu Ming, the real founder of the Black Mountain Brigade, would be appointed as the brigade commander. In this way, the military orders of the Black Mountain Brigade could be smooth and the combat effectiveness could be raised to a new level.
He volunteered to serve as deputy brigade commander and focus on training logistics and other work.
Lu Ming looked at the report and sneered in his heart. To be honest, Hu Dingshan was so ruthless that he really couldn't bear to let his knife fall on his head.
If he really knows when to advance and retreat in the future, then it seems only natural for me to keep him rich and safe.
Nodding, "Okay, I'll seriously consider it." Then he smiled and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day. We'll discuss it after the New Year. Let's have a good New Year first."
