The commander of the Eighth Army was killed by his own people. This huge and explosive news spread throughout Western Yunnan and China's top brass in just a few days.
It's hard to imagine who would have the guts to do such an arrogant thing. Many people are in a wait-and-see attitude about this matter, wanting to see what the final result will be.
But the instigator stayed leisurely at the 11th Army Headquarters, waiting for "legal sanctions."
Commander Song didn't give Liao Mingyu any trouble in the past two days. He gave him a small courtyard with a good environment. He was served three meals a day, and everything was easy except that he couldn't go out.
And Song Xilian also reported the incident truthfully. As for how he would be dealt with in the end, he was not sure. He could only try his best to help Liao Mingyu get through this.
For this reason, he personally called the head of state and explained the situation without forgetting to intercede for Liao Mingyu. After all, this matter was not the latter's fault alone.
In addition to Song Xilian's actions, Boss Dai was also not idle, but he couldn't help but feel a little headache after knowing the origin of this incident. This junior can really cause trouble.
When the person from the Military and Political Department learned about this, he was so furious that he smashed his desk on the spot and immediately prepared to take a special plane to fly to western Yunnan in person, determined to cut the culprit into pieces.
But as soon as Minister He arrived at the airport, he was pushed back by an order from the head of state. The head of state asked him to raise troops and supplies as soon as possible in the past two days to support the battle in northern Hunan.
The incident happened suddenly, and Minister He had to cancel his plan to go to western Yunnan, but when he thought about it carefully, there was something strange about it. Why did he come down just after he was about to leave?
Could it be that the head of state deliberately stumbled? It shouldn't be. After much thought, Minister He still had no choice but to give up, but he sent an inspection team to western Yunnan.
At the same time, the local military recruitment and training office was also arranged to cooperate. The murderer of his nephew must be escorted back to Chongqing. Otherwise, Liao Mingyu must be tried at the Kunming Military Court.
His preparations were quite thorough, and those who also wanted to see Liao Mingyu suffer misfortune also showed their special abilities.
First, the commander of the 71st Army reported that a colonel and deputy division commander under his command was missing. The missing location was in the defense area of the Sichuan Army. He suspected that he was directly related to Liao Mingyu and requested to go up to the peak for verification.
Then Yu Xiaoqing's father also submitted a lot of "criminal evidence" about Liao Mingyu to the superiors through his network. Things like raping women, forcibly recruiting military personnel, and persecuting the people... I don't know where the evidence was found. Anyway, it was just a demand for Liao Mingyu to be put on trial.
Minister He followed suit and said he would focus on verification. He also gave Song Xilian an order and warned him not to harbor favoritism towards Liao Mingyu. Those who went to western Yunnan also said hello that they could use any means if necessary, even if they were killed directly.
An "anti-Liao disturbance" unfolded overwhelmingly, and everyone wanted to take this opportunity to bring down Liao Mingyu.
The people from the Ministry of Military Affairs wanted to take Liao Mingyu away as soon as they arrived in western Yunnan, but they were strongly obstructed by Song Xilian. Things can be investigated slowly, but people can never be taken away.
Minister He was away, and the people from the Military and Political Department and the Political Training Department were helpless towards Song Xilian. For a while, the matter was stuck here.
After half a month of procrastination, Liao Mingyu also stayed at the headquarters for half a month. During this time, he was like a canary in a circle, unable to do anything.
During this period, Long Wenzhang and others wanted to contact him, but they were unable to do so because the people from the Military and Political Department kept a close eye on him. Liao Mingyu also tried to contact the system, but there was no response at all.
Such a state can't help but make people uneasy. Liao Mingyu huddles in the yard every day and feels tortured. But the interesting thing is that this time he got to see Song Xilian's ability to protect his calf.
The latter was so annoyed by those people that he finally said harsh words. Unless the head of state ordered, no one could take him away, or he would be tried in public at the 11th Army Headquarters, and he would not be recognized anywhere else!
When Minister He found out, he was so angry that he cursed and even gave Song Xilian several orders to hand him over, but the latter obeyed his orders.
In fact, the reason why he had such confidence was because he had received instructions from some heads of state.
As one of the four major departments of the National Military Commission, the Ministry of Military Affairs is mainly responsible for the establishment of the army, personnel appointments and removals, weapons, ammunition and equipment. However, the actual control over the various military units across the country is very small. Although the power is quite powerful, it also depends on the bald head's wishes.
Just like now, although Song Xilian and Minister He are two or three levels different in level, they still obey the instructions but not the announcement. The final power of interpretation still lies in the hands of the bald head of state.
Minister He had no choice but how could he bear the pain of killing his "son". In the end, he had to go to the head of state in person and ask him to seek justice for this matter.
…
"Didn't I say it many times? If you want to publicly try Commander He's case, the military court will be set up at the headquarters of our 11th Army Group. Please provide evidence for those baseless charges. As for taking people away... unless The Führer gave the order himself.”
In the lobby of the headquarters, Song Xilian sat above him and slapped the tabletop, angrily scolding the military and political officials in front of him.
"Haha, don't get excited, Chief Song. We are just following orders this time. I believe you will have received the order from the head of state soon."
Among the officials, a tall, thin man with a moustache and glasses said with a smile that he was confident this time because things had finally turned around.
These words made Song Xilian frown, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what the other party was up to.
The tall, thin and bespectacled group of people were not in a hurry, sitting calmly on chairs drinking tea, as if waiting for something.
Half an hour later, the headquarters suddenly received a telegram from Chongqing. The communications soldier hurried to the lobby and handed it to Song Xilian.
"What!?"
Commander Song took a closer look and was shocked by the contents of the telegram: "Are you sure it's from the Führer?"
"Yes, Commander, it is indeed a handwritten telegram from the Head of State." the signal soldier replied.
"Haha, Chief Song, you should understand now, I guess I can take away the prisoner today."
The tall and thin man with glasses said with a smile, he already knew all this, otherwise he wouldn't have spent half a day here today.
"Director Wang, you have really worked hard. In response to this, you ordered Minister He to run to the Headquarters, right?"
Song Xilian sneered, and at the same time, his heart sank to the bottom. He never expected that the head of state actually asked him to stop caring about this matter.
"That's beyond Chief Song's control. But back to the topic, can you please invite that person out now?" Director Wang adjusted the glasses on his face. He is bound to win today.
Song Xilian's eyebrows were wrinkled into knots, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the table. What should he do? He didn't expect the current situation.
"Chief Song? Don't you listen to the orders of the head of state?" Director Wang's smile gradually disappeared, and his originally smiling eyes suddenly became extremely cold.
Song Xilian sighed helplessly, no matter what, he had to listen to the orders of the head of state.
"Okay, guards! Bring Commander Liao..."
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the door, and several young officers in military uniforms strode in.
"Who the fuck!?"
Director Wang was so angry that he opened his mouth and cursed. Who on earth is so short-sighted and wants to jump out at this time? Does he really think he is easy to talk to?
"The National Bureau of Investigation, under the orders of the head of state and Director Dai, is here to investigate and collect evidence on the Dali material conflict case!"
The leader, a major, gave a sonorous and powerful sermon. After speaking, his eagle eyes turned towards Director Wang: "Do you have any questions?"
"This matter is obviously under the jurisdiction of our Military and Political Department and Political Training Department, why do you come out to take advantage of us!?"
Before Director Wang could say anything, a pock-marked man next to him ran out and yelled arrogantly.
"Bang!"
A bloody hole instantly appeared on the pockmarked forehead, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.
The major officer held up a pistol that was still smoking, and his sharp eyes were like a biting cold wind that made people feel cold.
"You actually...you dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Is there any way you can do it? Is there still rule of law?" Director Wang was shocked. It's so terrifying. He kills people at the slightest disagreement.
"This is an investigation order issued by Director Dai. It was personally signed and approved by the head of state. Anyone who dares to obstruct it will be shot to death!"
The major showed a special document and looked arrogantly at the Ministry of Military Affairs and others: "If you want to cause trouble, just come to our investigation bureau. I, Yu Sifan, will stay with you until the end!"
