This has already been said, so there is no need to go too in-depth.
After all, these two are also veterans of the officialdom - sometimes the truth of something is not important, but what kind of changes it can bring. To put it bluntly, it serves politics.
This is also true in the eyes of these two investigation team officials - if Lanfeng is lost, there must be a scapegoat, and this scapegoat can be Long Muhan, Zhang Tianhai, or Gui Yongqing.
It's just that the possibility of Gui Yongqing becoming a scapegoat is not high.
On the way here, the two members of the investigation team sorted out the information they had.
As for the information the two of them had, there were only two main ones - first, Gui Yongqing had ordered Long Muhan to let the 88th Division take over Lanfeng County and guard Lanfeng County. The county seat was sealed; secondly, a battalion of the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone died while defending Lanfeng.
From the bottom of their hearts, neither Deputy Chief Liang nor Deputy Cao wanted the truth about Lan Feng to be buried, but they were just two small investigators, and all truth had to serve politics. In the face of the general trend, they were powerless. .
For Liang and Cao, the only thing they can do now is to investigate and find out the truth.
As for the remaining things, they can only leave it to God. After all, these things are beyond their control.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
…
Three hours later, an off-road jeep took the lead and drove into the south gate of Kaifeng City. Behind the jeep, there were several military trucks.
I saw that the soldiers on those trucks were all murderous, and they were obviously different from the officers and soldiers of other troops.
Don't forget, these troops are the elite of the commander-in-chief of the first theater, and some of them are drawn from the military police.
Other troops may not dare to attack their own people, but they do dare - because they have the authority!
"Sir, please show me your ID!" At the gate of the corps headquarters, the sentry stopped the investigation team's vehicle.
Adjutant Cao glanced outside the car, then got out of the car and took out his military officer ID: "We are from the investigation team of the theater commander's headquarters. Please let us go immediately!"
The sentry took the officer's ID card and handed it to the company commander on duty.
After seeing Adjutant Cao's military ID card, the company commander immediately saluted with a very serious military salute: "Hello, sir!"
After saluting the military salute, the company commander said directly to the sentry: "This is a commander from the theater commander's department. Let him go immediately!"
After seeing the company commander's actions, Adjutant Cao nodded slightly. For those of them who are accustomed to superior departments such as the Commander-in-Chief's Department, sometimes they have to act in a condescending manner, and it is easy to take responsibility. A phenomenon of weakness and bullying.
But don’t forget, this era is a time of chaos, not other eras!
…
After entering the commander's headquarters of the First Corps, the adjutant was already waiting here, and meals and tea were already prepared.
Perhaps because they had important tasks yet to be completed, the two officers did not drink. They simply ate something and then went to work.
As for the main parties, Zhang Tianhai and Long Muhan are naturally held in different detention rooms.
Yes, not bad. It's the detention room!
…
Zhang Tianhai hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time, this feeling of being imprisoned.
There was silence and darkness all around. He raised his eyes and looked around, only to find that everything was pitch black. There was only a beam of light coming from the small window, which was not bright at all.
Perhaps it was the quiet environment around him that made Zhang Tianhai feel much calmer.
"Is it possible that people like me are the legendary cheap guys? Maybe after being imprisoned, I feel inexplicably relaxed." Zhang Tianhai laughed self-deprecatingly.
Indeed, compared to any other moment in the past, he felt that he was truly on vacation at this moment...
And it's the kind where you don't have to think about anything. After all, if you think about it, it will have no effect - at this moment, you have not only lost your personal freedom, but also lost your command power.
Only by sitting here did Zhang Tianhai feel a sense of tranquility. He began to reflect on the scenes since he came to this era.
The clouds and smoke of the past passed through his mind like a movie, but Zhang Tianhai's expression did not change at all, because he was thinking about what he had done and what he had missed.
…
While Zhang Tianhai was constantly reflecting on himself, Zheng Man, who was in Wuhan, received a piece of news about the Kaifeng front line.
"Didi didi..."
"Didi didi..."
As an intelligence officer who has received professional intelligence training, Zheng Man naturally has his own radio station. Although he is not a big official, he still has it.
"Lan Feng... the front line lost the battle in... and the relevant commanding combat personnel... were imprisoned. They were Long Muhan, commander of the 88th Division, and Zhang Tianhai, commander of the first regiment directly under the third theater..." Zheng Mandi skillfully listened to the radio waves while writing and drawing, but when she reached the end of writing, she couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Zhang Yulin was actually arrested? How can it be? He is such a smart thief, how could he be caught?
Countless questions flashed through Zheng Man's mind, but none of them were about Zhang Tianhai being tricked by the little devils into entering.
Zheng Man thought about it, and she always felt that someone had framed Zhang Yulin - because in her opinion, with Zhang Tianhai's ability, the enemy could not defeat him except for her own people!
After some thinking, Zheng Man decided to go back to her parents' home for a few days.
At the same time, Zheng Man sent several more secret messages, but all of them were focused on the investigation in Kaifeng.
No one knew that behind this investigation, an undercurrent had gradually begun to surge.
A storm is brewing!
…
On the afternoon of the same day, Wang Jingjiu, commander of the 37th Army and commander of the 25th Army in Jiangsu, also received news that an investigation into the loss of Lanfeng would be launched.
Compared with the youth, frivolity and vigor when he served as the commander of the 71st Army, Wang Jingjiu became much more mature after the conflict with Zhu Shaozhou, the Luoyang garrison commander.
After all, after this conflict, Wang Jingjiu understood that with the identity of the first phase of Huangpu, coupled with the identity of being the ace among the direct aces, he still could not be tyrannical.
The power of the Baoding faction was almost beyond Wang Jingjiu's imagination - the power of this faction almost made him unable to recover.
If it weren't for Gu Zhutong's repeated pleas to Commander Gu, he wouldn't have been transferred to the third theater. If he hadn't come to the third theater, it would have been impossible for him to take up the position of commander and commander of the army!
Therefore, Wang Jingjiu was quite touched by the kindness of Gu Zhutong and Chief Gu.
After receiving the battle report from the first war zone, Wang Jingjiu did not immediately make a statement. He just frowned slightly, thinking about whether to intervene or not.
The key is how many things are hidden behind this?
