Everyone in the Kyoto Military Region knows this, so most people present don't believe a single word of the so-called documents presented by the committee!
But they were powerless and had little influence; in such a situation, they were powerless to do anything. Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, they spontaneously blocked the Red Guards' path, preventing them from taking Commander Xiao away.
"Impossible! We believe the commander!"
"Commander, we all trust you and the regimental commander!"
Bai Yajing was not surprised by this outcome. Some of those who remained had good relations with the Xiao family. Even those whose relationship was not particularly close would be grateful for the old man's words of standing up for them.
Furthermore, and most importantly, Commander Xiao's character and conduct are indeed very positive, and Xiao Che's military achievements are not fake. Therefore, it can only be said that Commander Xiao is a man of great foresight.
Commander Xiao took the document, glanced at it, and laughed. He was genuinely laughing out of anger.
With a clap of his hands, his adjutant came over carrying the urn containing his ashes.
He took the urn and opened it.
The numerous medals and reports inside all attest to how outstanding this person is.
He sighed deeply.
"Think of my grandson, when he was just over ten years old, he followed this old man through gunfire and bullets. After he came of age, he officially joined the army as a glorious soldier."
He has made countless contributions over the years, but I, this old codger, am afraid that he will become arrogant, so I always keep him in check. Every time he gets promoted, while others only need to make one or two contributions, I make him make him make double the contributions to get promoted.
Everyone says I was too cruel to him. Yes, I was cruel. If I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have!
With each sentence he spoke, he excitedly and indignantly took out a medal and smashed it on the ground. Finally, he threw all the documents and reports in his hand away.
The story unfolds before the public: a grief-stricken and desperate old man who has lost his grandson and is further slandered after his sacrifice.
Everyone listened with tears in their eyes.
He quickly squatted down to pick it up.
"Commander, please don't be angry. Don't get upset and ruin your health. We've all seen what kind of person Regiment Commander Xiao is."
"Yes, Commander, Regiment Commander Xiao is exceptionally outstanding, that's obvious to everyone! He earned all of this with his blood and sweat, so please keep it safe!"
The group carefully placed the ashes into the urn and returned it to the Xiao couple, who were weeping uncontrollably.
They were all soldiers with a sense of patriotism, and in this situation, they couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.
For a moment, they all glared angrily at the members of the Brothers' Committee.
Dean Gao patted his old friend on the shoulder, then turned and looked disapprovingly at Director Jiang and his group, whose faces were ashen and who could no longer maintain their fake smiles.
"Director Jiang, everyone, the documents and reports here have all undergone layers of approval. It is impossible for anything to have been done, such as stealing someone else's military merits or being promoted beyond one's rank."
On the contrary, as you've seen, Xiao Che is a very respectable person, and he truly deserves the position of regimental commander! We can't let our soldiers shed blood and sweat on the front lines, only to return with tears in their eyes, can we?
Things can't remain deadlocked; someone has to step in and smooth things over, giving both sides a way out.
Looking at the room full of people, Director Jiang knew that this show was doomed to fail.
He hadn't expected that Commander Xiao, that old fox, would be so difficult to deal with. He was gradually manipulating the emotions of those present to his advantage.
Their singing, recitation, acting, and fighting made them look like monkeys performing, completely ineffective and instead putting him at a disadvantage.
However, he has more than just this one trick up his sleeve...
