The sun sets.
After dinner, Huang Tong walked quietly on the huge and empty training ground, looking around with a somewhat hollow look.
There were a small number of soldiers training on the training ground, and they all looked listless.
Two companies were gathering not far away, but the slogans were weak.
Huang Tong watched all this quietly, his eyes becoming increasingly hollow.
"The news has spread, and now there is a huge response from the middle and grassroots. General, I can no longer control the situation in the regiment. If possible, I hope the higher-ups can give me some support."
A tall, middle-aged man about forty years old followed Huang Tong cautiously, his voice a little bitter.
Huang Tong walked forward silently, like a zombie, and did not speak for a long time.
His current location is the station of an infantry regiment in the Northern Xinjiang Military Region.
The regiment leader was a middle-level officer whom he valued very much. He was capable and well-educated. If nothing unexpected happened, Huang Tong planned to promote him to the next level.
With the entire northern Xinjiang in panic, Huang Tong had high hopes for this regiment and its leader, so the first stop of the inspection was here.
In fact, it proves that this infantry regiment, codenamed Zhanhu, does still maintain a certain military atmosphere. At least one or two figures can occasionally be seen on the training ground.
Compared to other places, this place is pretty good.
In one day.
To be precise, in less than twelve hours in the past, the order of the Northern Xinjiang Legion has completely collapsed.
The desert war has ended for nearly two days.
In the past day, the morale of the soldiers in Northern Xinjiang was low.
What caused the entire legion order to completely collapse was a piece of news.
Bai Qingchao, deputy secretary-general of the Military Ministry, accompanied Li Tianlan, the master of the East Palace, to Tiannan.
Go to pay homage to the victims and express condolences to the families of the victims.
This is the attitude of the military.
The Northern Xinjiang Army collapsed completely the moment they received the news.
The Desert War is the war between the Legion and the Eastern Palace.
Many people died in the East Palace.
But many more of the Legion died.
Such large-scale casualties have been extremely rare since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Under normal circumstances, they should be able to see the big shots from Youzhou and hear their promises as soon as the war ends.
Then what awaits them is nationwide mourning, and they should become heroes remembered by Middle-earth.
This is bound to happen, there will be no exceptions.
But the so-called necessity just didn’t happen.
From the end of the war until now, Zhongzhou has not had the slightest attitude.
They seemed to have completely forgotten about the Northern Xinjiang Legion.
Large areas of corpses remain in the desert.
Zhongzhou is indifferent. There is no comfort or promise from the big shots, let alone any condolences. There is no mention of this in the news, even if it is just a casual reason, there is no reason.
and
The figure who best represented Dongcheng's invincibility in the military department went to Tiannan.
The corpses that had not been cleaned up in the desert seemed to have died just like that, without any explanation.
There is not even any news about the pension that will be issued soon.
The entire Northern Xinjiang Legion was in deathly silence.
Instead of blaming Zhongzhou, all the endless resentment was concentrated on Huang Tong, the leader of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
Without orders from the military, he insisted on mobilizing most of the combat forces of the Northern Xinjiang Army. It was obviously a war, but the situation reported to the military was an exercise. During the critical period, he even directly cut off the contact between the army and the outside world. ...
All this shows that the war was Huang Tong's private behavior.
At least it didn't get the public recognition from Zhongzhou.
Nowadays, the big shots in Central Continent are not coming, and it is entirely because of Huang Tong's fault.
Anyone can see this.
So when Zhongzhou turned a blind eye to everything going on here, the ordinary soldiers and middle-level officers of the legion felt extremely cold towards Huang Tong.
Rank-and-file soldiers stopped training.
Junior officers were indifferent.
The legion order was sent to the middle-level officers. The middle-level officers just made a phone call to deal with the matter, and then reported to the superiors that they could not handle it. From various companies and regiments, the number of statements from countless soldiers applying for reinstatement increased crazily. Some middle- and high-level officers had already After handing in the transfer report, he can be transferred anywhere, as long as he is not under Huang Tong.
The top brass of the legion was gloomy, and the deputy of the legion immediately distanced himself from Huang Tong.
All kinds of reporting letters flew to the Central Continent Military Headquarters like snowflakes.
The order has been completely and completely out of control.
Huang Tong wanted to intervene, but was unable to do so.
From the standpoint of the military, what Huang Tong did was completely treason. However, after receiving the support of Chen Fangqing, the war he initiated was difficult to define. However, Dongcheng Wudi was not without any temper. Regarding Huang Tong's actions, All in all, it would have been good if he had not been evacuated on the spot after the war. It would have been a fool's errand to ask the military to pay for Huang Tong's actions.
For Huang Tong, this was the real end of the road.
Now his only hope is Chen Fangqing.
Although he knew that Chen Fangqing's situation was not much better, Huang Tong had no other supporter.
"I will communicate with the military."
Huang Tong slowly said: "After a few days of support, I will definitely give you an explanation of the matters in Northern Xinjiang."
The regiment leader nodded with a grimace and said helplessly: "I'll try my best, but... General, this matter must be done as soon as possible, especially regarding the pension. If it is delayed, the family members will not agree."
Zhongzhou has always been the fastest in terms of pensions. In most cases, notices and pensions are basically received at the same time.
If this is not implemented as soon as possible, it will most likely cause even worse impacts.
The corner of Huang Tong's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded expressionlessly: "I understand."
He walked slowly to his car and said calmly: "You should do more work and think more about the affairs of the group, and leave the pension issues to me."
The group leader nodded and said respectfully: "I understand."
Huang Tong nodded, opened the door and got into the car.
The vehicle started slowly and left the Zhanhu Regiment.
The phone rang in the silent carriage.
Huang Tong blankly took out his phone and glanced at it. It was his secretary.
He frowned slightly, pressed the answer button, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"General..."
On the other end of the phone, the secretary who had been following Huang Tong for several years said tremblingly: "The Military Department... The Military Department has news, it's..."
Huang Tong's heart tightened slightly, he narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "What's the news?"
"Military Department..."
The secretary took a deep breath: "Military Department, Minister Dongcheng sent a document... He..."
Huang Tong could clearly feel the secretary's embarrassment and fear. He frowned tightly and waited patiently.
"Minister Dongcheng approved the exercise plan of the Northern Xinjiang Army."
exercise...
Exercise plan
Before the Desert War, the reason Huang Tong reported to the military headquarters was that the Northern Xinjiang Army was going to conduct an exercise in the desert.
No one believed this reason.
But this is at least a reason.
And this nonsense reason... Dongcheng Wudi approved it.
Huang Tong gritted his teeth, his face twisted and ferocious.
He can understand what Dongcheng Wudi means.
Dongcheng Wudi approved the exercise of the Northern Xinjiang Military Region, and also lightly defined the desert war as an exercise.
So in the eyes of the military, everything that happened in the Desert War, the losses of the Northern Xinjiang Army...
None of this happened at all.
Naturally, there is no clear explanation for this, let alone the so-called pension.
Because it was just a drill.
Huang Tong gritted his teeth. He thought about the Bai Qing Dynasty who followed Li Tianlan to Tiannan, thought about everything about the Northern Xinjiang Army, thought about his situation and his next fate...
The corners of his mouth moved.
"puff!"
A large mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth and sprayed into the car.
"General!"
The driver was startled. The steering wheel was tilted and the black car suddenly swayed on the street.
"fine."
Huang Tong slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face turned pale, and he said grimly: "Drive!"
He hung up the phone silently and kept mumbling to himself: "Dongcheng Invincible... Dongcheng Invincible!!!"
The phone rang again.
Huang Tong, who was heartbroken, slowly lowered his head and looked at the screen of his mobile phone.
His expression was slightly stunned, and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
Instead of phone numbers on the phone screen, there is a name recorded in the address book.
country.
