After taking all that into account, Bai Shuang went to see Madam Zuo alone.
Since we've come all this way, it wouldn't be right for us not to go in, given our past relationship.
I left ten kilograms of rice, several bags of dehydrated vegetables, and five kilograms of oil for the Zuo family.
This place is also experiencing a year of famine. Even though the Zuo family is well-off, they have little left after round of disasters.
Madam Zuo said, "How can we accept this? You helped me take care of my son and then left us these things."
"I didn't take care of anything; it was Zuo Shao who proved himself."
The head of the Zuo family had originally arranged for people to help unload the grain and move the scrap metal.
Lu Yu told the Zuo family head, "After closing the entrance to the safe house, we will use special methods to place the grain on top of the safe house, and we will also use special methods to move the scrap metal. It is not convenient to disclose this information at the moment."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Zuo family understood immediately. The Kyoto base was full of talented people. Could it be that they had developed a new loading and unloading method and it was still in the experimental stage?
………………
Kyoto Base, Lu Lao's office.
Chief Shen, Chief Liu, Wang Ming, and Staff Officer Li came together to find Elder Lu.
"What is it? Speak."
Chief Shen: "Chief Lu, you're over sixty years old. Don't you feel physically weak?"
"What if I think it's okay, or what if I don't? Does Chief Shen have some kind of magic pill to give me?"
Chief Shen, ...who the hell wants to give you medicine?
What I mean is, you're getting older, shouldn't you give up this position and let a younger person take over?
"Who are you working for?"
"You don't need to worry about that, Chief Lu. You just need to fill in the words on this resignation letter."
As he spoke, Chief Liu placed a document in front of Elder Lu.
Once he fills it out, even if Lu Yu comes back, there's nothing he can do.
This is an attempt to force people to fill in the blanks.
Old Lu: "I'd like to see what method you'll use to get me to fill in the words."
Then, Chief Shen clapped his hands three times, and a group of soldiers rushed into the office, pointing their guns at Old Lu.
Old Lu: "Hahaha..."
Chief Shen and the other two were startled. How could he not be afraid?
Old Lu: "You came, and we treated you to good food and lodging. It's one thing if you don't thank us, but instead you want to kick me out of office and steal the fruits of our labor. That's unkind."
Chief Liu: "We are not saints, we don't need benevolence and righteousness."
Lu Lao: "As the head of a military base in the south, he abandoned his post for more than two months under the circumstances of polar night and rat infestation, disregarding his duties, which is disloyal to the country."
Commander Liu: "I will be loyal, but I will keep the Kyoto base firmly in my grasp."
Chief Shen: "Do you have the right to call me disloyal? I am your superior, yet you show me no respect whatsoever."
Old Lu: "You were just a temporary superior. If you have the ability and prioritize national interests, I will respect you."
But what did you do?
If you only care about your own personal gains and losses and don't care about the fate of the survivors, then as the person in charge appointed by my superior, I naturally have no reason to respect you.
"Even if I were to choose a successor, I would never entrust the fate of the Chinese people to an unrighteous, unjust, or disloyal person."
With a smile, Old Lu looked at Commander Wang and asked, "Do you want to be a commander?"
Looking at Old Lu's incredibly calm eyes, Commander Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously felt that the other party was already confident.
To be honest, this kind of thing is all or nothing.
If successful, he could be at the top of power, wielding immense influence, and although he agreed to obey his superior's orders.
But once he gets power, even Chief Shen can't control him.
But what if it fails? Will the Kyoto base still tolerate him? Will Chief Lu still tolerate him?
But if we leave here, can the lives of our whole family be guaranteed in this year of disaster?
After a few seconds of internal struggle, Commander Wang ultimately chose the safer and neutral approach.
"It was Chief Shen who wanted me to become the chief."
The two leaders in the south did not expect Commander Wang to say such a thing.
Old Lu: "I'm asking for your opinion, whether you want to listen to him or me."
The two leaders from the south stared into Wang Ming's eyes again.
Although Old Lu's voice wasn't loud, his imposing presence was incomparable to that of Chief Shen.
Commander Wang was able to become a commander because of his exceptional insight.
Looking at Old Master Lu's expressionless face again, he felt once more that Chief Shen would not win, not even with his own army.
"Commander Lu is my superior, so of course I listen to him."
The two leaders widened their eyes again. It was because of Commander Wang's 30,000 troops that they had the leverage to challenge Elder Lu.
But I never expected him to switch sides at this time.
When they first arrived here, they realized that they had no control over Elder Lu's power.
But when they saw the solid, secure ellipsoid and the wealthy Kyoto base, they were unwilling to leave just like that.
They approached him because they discovered that Commander Wang had many grievances against Old Lu.
Therefore, the three parties who had grievances against Old Lu naturally hit it off, and they also learned a lot from Commander Wang.
However, when it came to getting Commander Wang to cooperate with them, he hesitated for a long time.
However, they were eventually persuaded, so the three of them took advantage of Lu Yu and Bai Shuang's departure to make their move.
Old Lu: "Words don't count; actions speak louder than words."
"Please enlighten me, sir."
Old Lu: "Commander Wang, I believe you are smart to have risen from a soldier to your current position."
Although you often have grievances against me, you haven't violated military law. I think you still have a bottom line.
But by coming in with them, you have already overstepped your bounds as a subordinate.
"This is a year of famine, a time when humanity faces extinction, yet you've colluded with outsiders to scheme against your own superior, violating military law."
Commander Wang's legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud. "Commander, I was wrong."
"Considering that you haven't crossed the line before, I'm giving you a chance to make amends."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the group of soldiers who had rushed in earlier pointed their guns at Commander Liu and his men.
If I were to be assassinated in my own office or on my own turf, all these years of hard work would have been for nothing.
At the same time, it was also to intimidate Commander Wang, so that when he steered the wheel in the wrong direction, even his subordinates would not listen to him.
Old Lu: "My old life is worthless, but I can't die because I haven't completed the task assigned to me by the old leader."
Those men were deathly pale, completely bloodless. How could this be? They had planned everything perfectly.
On the other hand, seeing that Old Lu was still sitting there without moving an inch, they were the real Liang Xiaoniu, and only then did they truly realize how terrifying Old Lu was.
If those soldiers weren't one of our own, would the guards outside the office let them in?
Are the guards outside the offices of military base commanders really that weak?
