"Commander Zhang, please do not slander a senior general who has risked his life for the country."
"Cao Meng fought in hundreds of battles, large and small, and made countless military achievements. He was on the verge of death many times and escaped death, leaving him covered in wounds."
"Such an outstanding patriotic general, and you want to send troops to punish him based on some unfounded 'signs'? You are chilling the hearts of millions of soldiers of the Great Xia."
"In the future, who will be willing to sacrifice their lives for the country?"
"Therefore, I firmly oppose sending troops to Haidong."
"Of course, we still have to catch that Ye Feng."
You should know that Cao Meng was someone he personally trained.
It is said that Cao Meng is planning a rebellion.
Doesn't that mean he also has a problem?
Zhang Yuanlei's attitude was very firm, and he said coldly.
"Xue Jianfeng, if Cao Meng really rebels, and his army besieges the city, it will inevitably cause chaos throughout the land, resulting in widespread death and destruction. Can you bear the responsibility for that?"
"Do you dare to vouch for Cao Meng?"
Xue Jianfeng was the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, half a rank higher than Zhang Yuanlei.
Because the General Command Center of the Ministry of War is a special authority established by the Ministry of War.
Above that is the Minister of War, who commands the entire nation's army.
Xue Jianfeng banged on the table, putting on an official air, trying to overwhelm the other party with his imposing manner.
"Zhang Yuanlei, stop spreading alarmist rumors."
"In short, I firmly believe that Cao Meng will not rebel."
"We would not agree to send troops to Haidong."
Zhang Yuanlei remained unmoved and said...
"If that's the case, then why don't you dare to vouch for him?"
"I think you have a problem too."
Xue Jianfeng was somewhat exasperated.
"presumptuous!"
"Zhang Yuanlei, please correct your attitude and watch your wording."
Whether or not I act as a guarantor is my business, and you have no right to interfere.
The two were arguing more and more fiercely.
A sprightly, white-haired old man sitting in the head seat raised his hand.
"Alright, you two stop arguing."
"I've already arranged for someone to investigate, and the results will be out soon."
This man is Luo Yuantai, the Minister of War and the top official in the Ministry of War.
A little while later, someone brought in a confidential document for Luo Yuantai.
Luo Yuantai opened the document and began to read it carefully, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"Cao Meng is indeed going to rebel."
"He led an army of 100,000 to Haidong to attack Ye Feng, ostensibly to avenge several of his Earthly Fiend Star generals, but in reality, it was all a pretext to deceive us."
"Would Cao Meng, a seasoned and valiant general, do something so impulsive and reckless?"
"His real purpose is to use Haidong as a springboard to march straight to Kyoto and capture it!"
Although Haidong is just a small county in Jiangnan Prefecture, its geographical location is extremely advantageous and has always been a strategic location fought over by military strategists.
It only takes about half a day to launch a surprise attack from Kaito to Kyoto, and sending an airplane would make it even faster.
Kaito can be considered a protective barrier for Kyoto.
Once this barrier is breached, Kyoto will be exposed to the enemy.
Luo Yuantai continued.
"And the mastermind behind all of this is the United States."
“Cao Meng has secretly sided with the United States and become their henchman. These are the evidence of his collusion with the United States.”
After speaking, he distributed the confidential documents in his hand to the several bigwigs present for review.
The evidence included, apart from photos of his secret meetings with key figures in the U.S. military.
Furthermore, his conversations with high-ranking U.S. officials revealed a large amount of national military secrets, causing irreparable and significant losses to the country.
For example, in recent battles against the US military overseas, the Great Xia Army suffered disastrous defeats despite having meticulously planned operations.
The result was always a complete defeat.
It was Cao Meng who leaked the operation plan.
In addition, there are records of payments made by the United States to his overseas accounts, each one clearly documented.
In total, it amounted to over 80 billion US dollars.
These are irrefutable proof of his treason!
Everyone present felt a cold sweat break out on their brow.
Everyone fell silent.
Everyone was furious!
The evidence is irrefutable.
Xue Jianfeng was also a little embarrassed and slammed his fist on the table, shouting.
"I never expected that Cao Meng would dare to betray us."
"This is outrageous!"
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Zhang Yuanlei glanced at him and snorted coldly.
Several elders were furious and voiced their condemnation.
"A traitor who eats one's own flesh and blood."
"As a warrior in the ranks of the Heavenly Stars, bearing the honor bestowed upon him by the nation, how dare he betray us?"
"A disgrace to the nation, a disgrace to the people!"
"Old Luo, I request permission to lead troops to Haidong immediately to attack Cao Meng."
"Old Luo, let me go."
"Old Luo, let me go."
Xue Jianfeng volunteered, speaking in a heavy tone.
"Old Luo, as everyone knows, Cao Meng was trained by me, and I want to personally clean house."
"Otherwise, how could I possibly have the face to stand in the Ministry of War?"
Luo Yuantai sighed and spread his hands.
"Gentlemen, don't you know the current situation of the Ministry of War?"
"Where will I send troops to suppress the rebellion?"
The people inside the secret room remained silent.
An unprecedented sense of crisis instantly enveloped the hearts of everyone present...
