Chapter 746: Chapter 745: You are being biased_1 Chapter 746: Chapter 745: You are being biased_1 This whole racket had them, the division chiefs, green with envy.
“So the reason you all came so late was for the seafood?” Huo Beijiang spoke with high discontent, “If you’d said so earlier, I would have had it delivered to the military department. Was there really a need to come in the middle of the night?” This truly was a nuisance.
“You’re not welcoming us?” Xi Liqun asked, grinding his teeth.
Huo Beijiang glanced at him, even though he didn’t respond, his meaning was clear.
“Ahem…” The political commissar stepped forward to mediate the situation, “The rumors have spread across the military region that you’ve gone mad, we really couldn’t just ignore it and so we came to check.” He mentioned while pointing outside, the sounds of nighttime training echoing in his ears.
“Are you trying to work yourself to death? Who trains ? The dean of the Military Region Hospital has called me; this week alone your Division has sent him 32 injured soldiers. The rate of injury from your training is higher than the casualty rate in actual combat.”
Xi Liqun slammed the table hard, producing a loud sound. It felt as if the taut atmosphere had crippled the entire second floor.
“Isn’t this just fooling around? Keep playing and sooner or later, someone will die.”
If he wasn’t exasperated from people complaining, and worried that this brat might really stir up trouble, would he bother coming this late? From the moment he stepped in through the gate, the sights and sounds along the way gave him quite a fright.
This damned fool really didn’t understand fear.
Huo Beijiang was the calm one under Xi Liqun’s fury, his eyebrows didn’t twitch once.
“Division Commander, I have everything under control.”
“I can’t see how you have anything under control.” Xi Liqun huffed coldly, “You can’t continue .”
“It’s impossible to stop now,” Huo Beijiang calmly replied. “You know how important the upcoming exercise is to our 36th Division. The entire Division is rearing to go, if you suddenly call for a halt, not to mention me, the people below won’t agree, either.”
“Heh…” Xi Liqun scoffed coldly, “This is a military order, I don’t care whether you’re willing.”
Just as Huo Beijiang was about to respond, the cook started serving dinner. The political Commissar hastily played peacemaker, “Alright, alright, no one has eaten yet! Let’s eat first, we can discuss the matter of training later.”
When he arrived, he knew this matter was something Huo Beijiang would definitely not agree to.
Even if he complied with the military order and halted the intense training, how could he stop them from practicing on their own?
There’s nothing in the military regulations forbidding soldiers from practicing on their own. Hence, this matter couldn’t be stopped at all.
Xi Liqun pounded his chopsticks in anger, “Are you in the right? And you dare to give me attitude?” Seems like without flexing his power, his authority would not be recognized.
“Alright, that’s enough. Stop talking.”
“Political Commissar, you’re taking sides.” Xi Liqun said in dissatisfaction.
The corner of the Political Commissar’s mouth twitched. He patiently put up with his old counterpart. Didn’t he understand why he was taking sides? From the military academy to Snow Eagle, then to the 36th Division, who knew about Huo Beijiang’s poisonous and sharp tongue?
Even the Southeast Military Region Commander could be provoked by him to have a heart attack. Presently, the person was already yielding and enduring.
If this bastard was really provoked, then there would be no place for reasoning if someone really died because of his anger.
“Oh that’s right! Beijiang!” The Political Commissar said with a very pleasant smile, “There’s another thing we forgot to tell you. Next week there’s an inaugural ceremony at the military academy, you’re invited as an outstanding graduate. The invitation was sent directly to the military department, the school leadership hopes you can attend.”
Huo Beijiang frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to reject the offer. He was already super busy, he didn’t have time to attend a boring inaugural ceremony.
