Deputy Captain Yang glanced at Captain Wen who had been controlled. He didn't even have time to breathe heavily before a drop of sweat fell to the ground.

"The Chief of Staff is wise and brave, and I was blind before. However, I have checked my conscience and I have definitely not surrendered to the enemy or betrayed my country. Please investigate. If the Chief of Staff disagrees, I am willing to take the name of the regiment and ask the Military Procuratorate to conduct a thorough investigation!"

Ren Qimin knew that Deputy Commander Yang had indeed not surrendered to the enemy or committed treason. He had only found out this fact before coming to negotiate with him.

Those who betrayed their country had their entire families killed long ago. He nodded slightly and said, "I believe what Deputy Captain Yang said. You didn't betray your country. Even the letter Captain Wen asked you to give to the Japanese was secretly replaced by you."

When Captain Wen heard this, he looked at Deputy Captain Yang. He didn't expect that the man who had followed him for 10 years actually had two faces.

"Mr. Yang, I was wrong to trust you."

Ren Qimin stared at Deputy Regiment Commander Yang and asked, "Did you secretly let go of the military doctors from our 772-3rd Regiment?"

Deputy Captain Yang lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Ren Qimin glanced at Deputy Headmaster Yang and said, "But you followed Headmaster Wen for 9 years and 10 months. How can I trust you?"

Deputy Regiment Commander Yang stood in front of all the soldiers and said to Ren Qimin, "I voluntarily transfer to civilian jobs and leave the army. I will follow the organization's instructions!"

"Change career?" Ren Qimin asked him, "You want to change career?"

Deputy Head Yang knew that he had not colluded with the enemy and committed treason, but based on this fact, he was not guilty of the death penalty. If Ren Qimin took office, as the deputy head of Head Wen, his chances of promotion would be almost zero.

If he doesn't retire and return to his hometown, what future development can he have in the army?

"Deputy Captain Yang, from now on, you are still the deputy captain. I will order you to fully assist Captain Song, train new soldiers for our army, and intercept battle reports. If you neglect your duty even for one day, I will chop off your head!"

Deputy Captain Yang stood there in a daze. He looked at Ren Qimin's tall figure in the background and was stunned for a long time.

he?

He still uses him?

He still wants him to continue serving as deputy head of the group?

"Chief of Staff, your subordinate..." After a long while, he blinked again and again before responding with one word: "Yes!"

Ren Qimin flipped through a pile of documents and finally threw them to Song Shiyan. "For anyone below the platoon leader, if anyone is found to be collaborating with the enemy and treason, no need to ask for permission, just kill them! And their entire family!"

"yes!"

"You must root out the weeds at the root, don't be lenient!"

"yes!"

…

Ren Qimin knew that this place was too close to the Wo army. If we didn't root the grass out, our soldiers would be in danger.

So, at this time, he must be more ruthless.

…

In the evening, Shen Yuchu and his son finally had a full meal. It could be said to be a sumptuous meal. Ren Lingyi ate the ribs and clapped his hands happily.

"Dad, Dad, let's eat meat."

Ren Qimin saw the light of happiness flashing in his son's eyes, and he raised his hand and held the child in his arms.

Why had he endured the humiliation in a place like Moli Island all these years? Only he knew!

He couldn't imagine what would happen if someone really charged him with a crime and treated his son and wife like this.

What would his heart be like?

However, everyone has to pay a price for their "choice", not to mention treason!

Today, he has distributed Chief of Staff Du's gold, silver and jewelry to meritorious soldiers.

Most of the soldiers here are here to defend their country and for the beliefs in their hearts. Because of the corruption of Commander Wen and Chief of Staff Du, many soldiers have not received the allowance issued by the army for several years.

It’s not that the Yanjing headquarters didn’t send it out, but that they withheld all of it.

The weather was so cold that the soldiers had to wear thin clothes and stand guard in the severe cold.

Ren Qimin had seen it a long time ago, but he couldn't even get his own allowance, so how could he ask for the soldiers'?

Now he opened the warehouse and distributed cotton-padded clothes and quilts for these gold, silver and jewelry, which made all the soldiers in the army very happy.

Ren Qimin also specially ordered people to improve the food. Today, the warehouse was opened to release the reserve grain, so that the soldiers can have enough food and warm clothes from now on, and receive a monthly allowance. The soldiers who died on the battlefield will also receive the pensions they deserve.

Those were gained by the soldiers with their lives. We cannot let the entire army be corrupted because of the corruption of some individuals.

Song Shiyan was also happy. He held a large bowl of pork and handed it over with a smile, "Chief of Staff, this pork is so delicious. Our soldiers are all praising you now."

Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "Our chief of staff is fine, but those people are the ones who are annoying. If this happened in Yanjing and Commander Zhen knew about it, he would kill all nine generations of his clan."

Ren Qimin just frowned and said nothing.

Shen Yuchu saw what was on his mind, "What's wrong?"

Ren Qimin looked at the familiar faces in front of him and said, "We must train the soldiers well in the next three months. Eating well and dressing warmly are just the most basic things."

He was silent for a moment, then said in the deepest voice: "Next, there is another tough battle to fight. I am afraid that wherever I let him go, there will be bones exposed in the wild and corpses everywhere."

Song Shiyan looked at him and said, "Chief of Staff, this war will certainly result in casualties. You don't have to be too sad. The Japanese have repeatedly invaded our borders. They have also colluded with military officials and want to disintegrate us from within. How can we let them go?"

Ren Qimin held Ren Lingyi who was sleeping in his arms. He raised his hand and gently touched the sleeping face of the little guy. "How many people will be separated from their wives and children, and their families will be destroyed because of my order!"

Perhaps it was because he saw his own children that he felt such sadness.

Chen Yuchu looked up at him. She didn't understand Ren Qimin's work style before. His work style was particularly tough. He was different from Xiao Mo, who just muddled through.

He is different from He Shaoyan. He will save the person even if there is only a glimmer of hope.

He is different from Lin Xuan, he just needs to follow orders.

She only now understood that he actually had a soft spot in his heart. Just like today, she heard many family members outside talking about her husband, saying that he was venting his anger and using his power to take revenge...

In fact, he is not that kind of person. She doesn't know how many years it will take to understand a person.

Shen Yuchu looked at him, and tears appeared on the tip of his nose without him noticing.

Ren Qimin raised his hand and wiped it for her. "Achu, I'm sorry for making you live in fear with me. I once thought of leaving you in Yanjing. At least you have a home there."

"Even if I have to go to the front line to command, you and the child are safe at home. Now, I don't want you to bring the child with me and go through life and death on the battlefield."

"Once the front line opens fire, there will be flames and constant gunfire. All I can do is to do my best to protect you, the children, and the safety of the many military families. The rest..."

Ren Qimin frowned deeply and stopped talking. Several soldiers also fell silent.
