Yang Xiangchun's expression darkened and he asked, "Do you think you don't know?"
Captain You rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "Uncle, with the current strength of Hengcheng's team, they are dead, injured, and able to walk. They have no advantage over Star City. In this situation, there is no strength that can challenge Star City. I don’t think it’s wise to continue to challenge.”
"What are you worried about? Won't I tell you the truth?" Yang Xiangchun asked calmly.
Captain You was still a little hesitant: "If we were in the Central and South Region, I believe that my uncle would keep his word and he would be able to tell the truth. But now we are in the Western Region. There have been a lot of rumors about our battle with Star City. If we continue Keep entangled. Not to mention that other teams may be dissatisfied and dissatisfied. Even within our Hengcheng team, I have no confidence that I can suppress them."
This is by no means an excuse for the tour leader.
This defeat puts the Hengcheng team in a very delicate situation. This kind of support team itself was randomly selected and put together, and they were not originally close life-and-death friends.
The biggest reason why we were able to work together before was not Captain You's personal charisma, but that Yang Xiangchun had the backing.
If we defeat the Star City team, then everything will be easy.
But the current battle situation is a defeat, and a complete defeat, being destroyed cleanly.
This is a huge blow to the confidence of Hengcheng.
Continue to provoke? Continue to fight against Star City? What to fight against? Do you really risk your life to engage in internal strife?
People like Xiaogang will be killed as soon as they are killed, and few of the remaining people dare to say that they are stronger than Xiaogang.
Can the team really fight against Star City at all costs?
Captain You knew the internal situation of the team, and he actually resisted Yang Xiangchun's request to continue the confrontation deep down in his heart.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he really can't beat him.
Yang Xiangchun pressed his palms to signal Captain You not to get excited and asked him to sit down.
Captain You gingerly pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Xiaoyou, I also bear some responsibility for the rash advance before. It will definitely not work if we continue to confront you openly. No matter what aspect, we cannot give an explanation."
Captain You breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not an open confrontation, that's fine.
"Uncle, our team is going to gather information soon. How can we fight against them if we leave here?"
"Haha, spying on information does not mean that you will stay there forever. Moreover, even if you are spying on information, doesn't it depend on you as the captain how to arrange the personnel?"
Captain You asked calmly: "Then how to fight against the Star City team?"
"Please let me think about the specific strategy. When the joint command group is established, the Star City team must accept unified dispatch. At that time, as long as I provide you with some information, and you leak a little information about Star City to the Weird Tree …”
The tour leader was shocked and looked at Yang Xiangchun in disbelief. I was inexplicably horrified for a moment.
He can be considered a person with relatively good psychological quality. He was still shocked after hearing this. My uncle is going to go all the way to the dark side.
Sell information to the strange tree? This nature is very bad. Once someone discovers it, his reputation will definitely be ruined and he will die.
"Uncle, isn't this a bit over the line and the risk is too great? Once exposed, we will be in doom." Captain You hesitated.
Yang Xiangchun had no expression on his face and asked calmly: "Xiaoyou, don't you care about Xingcheng's humiliation to you?"
"Of course I care, but isn't our trip just to deal with the Weird Tree? If we tip off the Weird Tree, it would be tantamount to collaborating with the enemy. Not to mention me, even your uncle, and even the Governor of the Central and South Region, would probably suppress me. I can’t live with this.”
"Then don't let anyone know. No one knows. Who asked you to show your true identity?"
Captain You calmed down, thought about it carefully, and found that Yang Xiangchun's statement was indeed feasible.
"Don't make a decision in a hurry. Go back to your room and think about it carefully. Don't make any announcements yet. Who in the team can and cannot be used cannot be regarded as confidants. You have to make a rough estimate yourself."
"Uncle, don't worry, I still have my mind set on this."
"As long as you do it covertly, this matter is very feasible. Once you handle this matter, I will never treat you badly when you return to Hengcheng. I will also consider helping you with the few wishes you have in mind. accomplish."
Captain You was delighted when he heard this.
To tip off the Weird Tree is equivalent to being a traitor to the human camp.
But does he really care about this bottom line?
But that's not necessarily the case. It's just whether the reward for betrayal is generous enough to satisfy his appetite.
"Don't worry, uncle. I will think carefully and come up with a foolproof way. Either don't do it, or make it foolproof. There will be no room for any mistakes."
Yang Xiangchun smiled indifferently: "Okay, you can't slack off when it comes to spying on military intelligence. You have to show off to others. You should know how to deploy troops and generals, right?"
Captain You smiled and said: "Leave dirty, hard and dangerous work to those who are tough and have a similar relationship with me. Unite a group of confidants and consolidate your team."
"Yes, you finally didn't let failure go to your head. Go back and think about it."
Yang Xiangchun raised his water glass and made a gesture of seeing off guests.
…
Later, Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing received a notice that a joint command group would be set up at the designated hotel tomorrow, requiring all teams to be present.
The meeting place was the largest five-star hotel on Airport Road.
However, no matter how luxurious a hotel is, it is obviously impossible to provide an indoor venue for meetings of 2,000 to 3,000 people.
Therefore, this large-scale meeting was still arranged to be held in an open space in a park surrounding the hotel.
It just so happens that this park used to have a large electronic screen, so we just made use of it.
The captains of each team are required to sit in front of the rostrum so that they can participate up close. Moreover, every captain actually has votes in hand.
It can be said that the selection of the joint command team this time is relatively open and fair.
The ballots were handed out to everyone, and Jiang Yue glanced at them a few times.
The joint command group has three permanent advisers, who do not need to be elected and are all senior advisers. Elder Song Youguang, who was at the arbitration seat before, was among them, and an elder from the West Frontier Region was also among them.
Jiang Yue had never heard of another name, but he expected it to be the kind of respected senior.
The joint command group consists of a commander-in-chief, a deputy commander-in-chief, and six executive directors, basically covering the seven major regions across the country.
The list of this joint command group is not very impressive, only eight people in total. As for consultants, they are consultants. They usually only provide advice and do not make decisions.
What Jiang Yue didn't expect was that, except for the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief, who were basically appointed by default, the six executive directors actually had to be chosen.
The selection also covers the team leaders of the seven major regions, and actually also includes the team leaders of each city.
Jiang Yue found that his name was listed.
Of course, this is not to take care of Jiang Yue alone, but to cover all the team leaders.
As for being on the list, whether it was to accompany the prince to study, or whether it was really possible to be selected, no one had communicated with Jiang Yue beforehand.
The meeting was co-chaired by three consultants.
The three consultants successively briefed them on the current situation in the Western Region, as well as the difficulty and complexity of this operation, and emphasized the importance of the joint command group.
This joint command team must have strong leadership and a tenacious style that dares to fight tough battles and is able to fight tough battles.
This is the big tone and it’s finalized.
Immediately, the three advisers gave a general briefing on the candidates for the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief.
"Everyone, the position of commander-in-chief is very important and a key position. Since I am not very familiar with all of you here, the position of commander-in-chief has been finalized by the central government and is specially assigned to take charge of the overall situation. Of course, the necessary procedures still need to be followed. .”
If we were in the sunshine era, this kind of thing would definitely not be revealed. Everyone would understand it tacitly and know exactly how to operate.
But these are strange times. Many people participating in the voting are not official and are not familiar with the procedures here, so some reminders are still necessary.
"Please invite General Zeng Zhiyong of the Zhongzhou Region Military to come on stage and say a few words to everyone."
Material dealers have Zeng Zhiyong's resume. He is a general in the Zhongzhou Region military. He is only thirty-four or five years old. He is the youngest general in the Zhongzhou Region, although he is only a major general.
As soon as this person appeared on the stage, he had his own aura, as if he had a suction force that successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Jiang Yue also looked at General Zeng and nodded secretly in his heart.
General Zeng was not the tall and tall type, he was only about 1.7 meters tall, but he seemed to have an indescribable aura about him.
Especially that pair of eyes, looking forward and full of awe.
Jiang Yue's first impression was that this person was definitely someone who would do great things. His demeanor and demeanor are self-generated, appearing calm and dignified.
His magnanimity and status are destined to suppress the arrogant soldiers everywhere. What's more, the center gave him a platform, which was equivalent to holding Shang Fang's sword.
"Comrades, the situation is difficult, I believe I don’t need to emphasize it. Maybe some of you still have the mentality of joining in the fun, or you plan to fish in troubled waters and gain qualifications and go home. Maybe you think that the strange tree is raging in the Western Region, and it is still far away. It is far from threatening your territory. Therefore, in your mentality, you may think that this is a fire at your neighbor's house. It is only moral for you to put out the fire. Once the fire wants to burn you, you will definitely escape. Right?"
"I don't know how many people here think so, but if you think so. In this mission, including me, there may not be a single person who leaves alive. Even if you escape from the battlefield, the center will not let you go unpunished. "
"Anyone who has different intentions in this operation and whose ideas are not firm will surely suffer."
"In order to avoid this situation, the joint command team must be very careful in selecting people. It is best not to join anyone who is on both ends of the spectrum. Even if you sneak in, you may be kicked out. Therefore, you must use Use the votes you have in hand to select the most suitable executive director who can lead everyone to victory."
General Zeng's words were very contagious and quickly raised the mood. The crowd that was originally laughing and joking suddenly became much more nervous and solemn.
Everyone's attitude also became much more serious.
After General Zeng, he is the deputy commander-in-chief. The deputy commander-in-chief, the center also has arrangements, and must be an important role in the Western Frontier Region.
After all, the West Frontier Region is the host and is relatively familiar with the situation in the West Frontier Region. Having a deputy commander-in-chief will also make it easier to carry out operations.
The selected deputy commander-in-chief was actually a deputy commander-in-chief of the Western Frontier Region. His status is equivalent to that of Deputy General Manager Wan of the Central and South Region.
It can be said that this candidate is taken very seriously.
After all, this deputy general manager is almost equivalent to the top five big shots in the Western Frontier Region, and further up, he is responsible to the regional governor and general manager of economics and strategy.
This manager's surname is Li, and his given name is Li Yuntao.
This man is a civilian, not a military person, so he doesn't have that imposing heroic spirit, but at first glance he looks like a man of the city.
He speaks softly and slowly, but every sentence always hits the point.
He doesn't talk much in general, but his ability is very common.
Of course, Deputy General Manager Li also said some kind words, thanking everyone in person for coming to support the West Frontier Region, and was willing to work with everyone in the future.
After Deputy Commander Li finished speaking, General Zeng concluded: "Everyone, Deputy Commander Li is polite to you, but I must remind everyone. We came to the Xiqu Region not to put out fires in the Xiqu Region, but also to fight for our own destiny. War. If the advancing speed of the strange tree cannot be restrained, it could be as fast as half a year, or as slow as one or two years. All parts of the country, and even the whole world, will fall. This is the common destiny of mankind. We must raise our awareness to This level.”
"Okay, now let's start the selection of six executive directors. The information on each candidate is on the information. Please consider it carefully and think about it carefully. Be sure to cast your precious vote."
Six executive directors, check the boxes for six of them. This is not very difficult to understand.
Jiang Yue flipped through the information again and said to himself that this method of election is somewhat risky for the leaders of each region.
Because no one can guarantee it, and so many people vote, they will definitely elect the leaders.
After all, many people here come from rough backgrounds and may have anti-authority thoughts deep down.
Of course, the information on each team leader in the materials is very detailed and thoughtfully introduced.
The captains of various places are relatively simple, and can be summarized in just a few sentences.
Judging from the resume alone, it still has great advantages for the leaders of the various regions.
After all, the advantages of a detailed resume compared to a few lines of brief introduction are self-evident.
Since it is a secret ballot, there is no need to worry about retaliation afterwards. So everyone ticked the boxes without much pressure.
Jiang Yue read the information very seriously.
After about a few minutes, Jiang Yue ticked six boxes.
In one of them, he had his name prominently displayed.
Jiang Yue did not avoid relatives when recommending talents, including self-recommendation, and Jiang Yue didn't think there was anything to avoid.
