Chapter 246, Qing Clan Camp
On the frontline of Daping Mountain and Xianlin Mountain, uncountable Qing Clan troops had already been stationed, and the occasional open area in the valley could be seen with black tents stationed all over it, and this place was, inevitably, a major transportation hub within the entire mountain range.
The road in the mountains is not a dirt road, but a cement road built by the Qing Clan long ago, just by looking at the roadbed you can see that the Qing Clan has been operating here for a long time.
This is the road that the Li Clan must pass through in the south, and if they want to hit the Li Clan, they must not be able to bypass this place.
The contradiction between the three southwestern consortiums is not for a day or two, and the Qing Clan has made extraordinarily adequate preparations, including the forward base and mountain fortifications were built long ago.
At this time, two off-road vehicles came from the northeastern direction of the mountains, Qing Zhen and Luo Lan were sitting in the car looking at the scenery outside the window, Qing Zhen laughed and said, “This place must be well guarded, if the position here is lost, then this road can be for others to repair, the other side can drive straight into the unhindered.”
“Don’t worry, it can’t be lost,” Secretary Zhou, who was sitting on the co-pilot, said in a cold voice, “Qing meticulously, letting you come to be a military advisor is also considered a way to let you redeem yourself for your sins, and I hope that you’ll give some thought to the decision made by Qing’s Presidium above, and refrain from acting recklessly again.”
Qing Zhen calmly laughed, “Redeeming your sins? What crime have I, Qing Zhen, committed?”
The soldier driving the vehicle was as if he had gone deaf and just drove, not daring to react in any different way, while Secretary Zhou frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
The SUV traveled through the mountains for dozens of kilometers, eventually arriving at a huge camp area, and when they passed through the sentry post, Secretary Zhou flashed his ID before the other party let them pass.
Qing Zhen looked around at the barracks set up, “Somewhat lax.”
“Here we are, get off,” Secretary Zhou glanced at Qing Zhen, “You know the combat officer here, he is sort of your brother, called Qing Yun.”
“Oh,” Qing Zhen nodded, “It’s that snotty one, he used to cry a lot when he was a kid.”
The person who had previously discovered the missing experimental subjects at the 113th Barrier was also this Qing Yun.
After getting out of the car, Qing Zhen Wu walked towards the command tent, “Since I was asked to be a military advisor, what if Qing Yun doesn’t listen to me? Have you guys thought about this, if he’s bent on having his way, do I have to take the fall with him as well?”
Secretary Zhou’s frown locked deeper, “Qing Zhen, don’t play any tricks, he’s the chief officer of the troops, of course he’s the one who takes the main responsibility when things go wrong, but as a military advisor, do you dare to say that you won’t be held responsible if the war is lost? It’s all for the sake of my Qing Clan’s cause, so I hope you’ll be a little more serious and not be willfully passive.”
This was actually the thing that the members of the Qing Clan’s Presidium were most worried about, they didn’t feel comfortable letting Qing Yun face the other two consortiums alone, after all, Qing Yun’s combat experience was far less than that of Qing Zhen’s, and when it came to the wisdom of war, it was true that there was no one in the entire Qing Clan who could compare to Qing Zhen.
Many people had thought that the consortium was so big and had so many people that it was only right to select the best soldiers and strongest generals, but looking at history, there were only a few famous generals in the world, and sometimes there were really just people who were exceptionally gifted.
But they are more worried that Qing Zhen was frustrated a while ago by the frustration of some hard, in case Qing Zhen to the front line but out of work, which also affects the overall situation.
It’s not that the Bureau is too stupid to suppress talent, but they have long been accustomed to talent bowing down in front of the consortium’s huge machine, and once there was also a proud and extraordinary shadow who wanted to override the consortium, but in the end, how, or not bowed down and became the consortium’s tool?
But Qing’s Bureau did not expect that Qing Zhen would be so tough!
Qing meticulously smiled and walked towards the tent, at this time, the officers inside the command tent were shuttling back and forth, either holding the latest military intelligence in their hands, or taking the military orders issued by Qing Yun to execute them.
At this time, when everyone saw Qing Zhen come in, everyone in the entire tent actually paused for a moment, as if even the air in the command headquarters froze for a moment after Qing Zhen came in.
Qing Zhen greeted everyone, “Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous, do what you need to do, Luo Lan and I just came to see everyone.”
At this time, beside the command center sand table, Qing Yun saw Qing Zhen, then grimaced, Qing Yun looked at Secretary Zhou: “Why did you bring him here?”
Secretary Zhou said calmly, “Your second uncle asked him to assist you.”
“Assist me?” Qing Yun sneered, “Don’t need a prisoner to assist me.”
Luo Lan laughed, “Qing Yun, do you remember the days when you were a child playing with mud behind our asses? When your Grandpa Luo was fighting in the war, you still didn’t know where you were playing with peeing mud.”
Secretary Zhou said angrily, “Enough, the southwest is about to change drastically, you guys are still in the mood to bicker here like children, Qing Yun, the two of them will serve as your military advisors, first inform us of the current situation and convene a military meeting.”
Qing Yun glanced at them and said to the adjutant next to him, “Notify the chief officers of each combat sequence to come to the meeting!”
After all, Qing Yun did not dare to disobey the Bureau’s orders, since the Bureau had asked Qing Zhen to come as a military advisor, he had to cooperate in face, so that even if something went wrong, no one would put the fault on his head.
During the meeting, Qing Zhen had been sitting beside the conference table with his eyes closed, and it was not known whether he had heard the reports of the chief officers of the various combat sequences or not, while Luo Lan, simply had fallen asleep on the table.
An officer said, “Now that our side is stationed on the front line of Daping Mountain and Xianlin Mountain, Li and Yang should not easily come to commit crimes, this war is also mainly a conflict between their two families ……”
Qing Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and interrupted, “Foolish.”
There was silence in the command center and Qing Zhen continued, “What about the philosophy of this battlefield, which is that apart from our own people, all those who participate in the war are enemies, what makes you think that the Li and Yang clans have an enmity so they won’t come and take the initiative to fight us?”
Qing Yun said in a cold voice, “Li Clan originally came because Yang Clan robbed them of their ……”
Qing Jin was happy, “That wasn’t robbed by the Yang Clan, I was the one who grabbed it and gave it to the Yang Clan, but remember what I said, since I, the Qing Clan, have already come here, I will definitely be the target of the Li Clan, and if we are negligent in our defense, then I’m afraid that we will also become a priority target for the other two. For this reason, they are even willing to put aside their hatred towards each other, as the benefits of appropriating the Qing Clan are enough to move them.”
Qing Yun stared at Qing Zhen dead in the face, he had been living under Qing Zhen’s shadow for more than twenty years, when he was in kindergarten everyone said that there was another person who was better than him called Qing Zhen, when he was in elementary school, middle school, and college, it was still the same, and in the end, even when he walked into the barracks everyone was still saying that Qing Zhen fought in the wars better than everyone else in the Qing Clan.
But even though he loathed Qing Zhen so much, at this point he still had to sit at the same table with Qing Zhen to discuss the war situation, because he wanted the Bureau to understand that he was more obedient than Qing Zhen.
