During the mission to repair the base, Xu Le knew that his actions had violated many military rules. For example, disobeying military orders was a serious offense. Especially when he forcibly went through the underground tunnel to communicate with the base at the end, it was a very serious offense.
However, it had been three days since he returned to the military camp. The white ash from the cigarette was spread three feet under his feet, but the higher-ups of the military did not say anything. He thought that the mission was successfully completed. The higher-ups glanced at the mountains behind him and were ready to leave the matter unsettled. Who would have thought that there was actually a secret investigation targeting him?
"Interesting." Xu Le began to pack his luggage with a calm expression. He followed the officer from the Bureau of Proclamation and walked out of the barracks. The military vehicle was waiting for him at the gate.
The members of Group 7 who had just received the news immediately went into a frenzy. They wore their hats askew, wore military shoes, and had cigarettes in their mouths. They looked like gangsters from Bermuda. They grabbed all kinds of guns and rushed out of the barracks, blocking the military vehicle that was just about to leave.
Looking at the black muzzles, the faces of the officers from the Bureau of Proclamation and the military police in the vehicle became extremely ugly. They tried to intimidate them with military rules, but it was to no avail.
The members stared at these people with eyes that were about to spit out fire. Although not everyone knew the truth of the last mission, they knew what kind of price Group 7 had paid and how much risk their leader had taken to successfully complete the mission. But in the end, these f * cking higher-ups still wanted to investigate!
Xu Le looked at Bai Yulan through the glass. Bai Yulan understood what he meant. She threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it to extinguish it. She said to the members blocking the gate in a deep voice, "Are you crazy? Put down your guns. "
The members looked at each other and slowly put down their guns. However, they still stared at the people in the military vehicle with cold and ruthless expressions. It seemed that if the officers from the Bureau of Proclamation did not immediately let Xu Le out, countless bullets would be fired at the vehicle in the next moment.
The dark glass slowly fell down. Xu Le looked at these people and said, "Disperse. I'll be back in two days."
Among the new and old members of Group 7, Bai Yulan was the one they had the most interaction with. They were also most in awe of this seemingly unparalleled beauty, but in reality, she was a ruthless and cunning veteran. On the contrary, in the past few months of military life, Xu Le did not spend a lot of time with his team members. He spent most of his time buried in his office and rarely worried about the cruel training and the bustling life. He was not like an excellent general who would undress and push food to maintain his authority and degree of respect in the team.
What was amazing was that once Xu Le spoke, no one in Group 7 dared to disobey him. This was because he had perfectly fulfilled his promise before the battle. As the saying went, "Charge at the front, retreat at the back. I'll be the scapegoat, but I'll still be the one to face the mountain of knives."
He didn't say much, but he did a lot. A commander like this was like a big rock under their buttocks. It was very easy for his team members to feel at ease and trust him completely. So at this time, when Xu Le asked everyone to disperse, although the members of Group 7 were very unwilling, they still quickly dispersed and made way for the military vehicle to move forward.
Then they fiercely spat countless mouthfuls of thick spittle in the direction of the fleeing military vehicle.
…
…
"Staff Officer Ning, I want to see Deputy Commander Yi. I don't understand why that officer clearly violated so many military rules, but the command center is still unwilling to come up with specific punishment measures. In my opinion, a rogue officer like this who has no regard for military rules should be removed from our team."
Deputy Director Bai of the Bureau of Proclamation adjusted the square glasses on the bridge of her nose. A trace of coldness flashed across her poker face. Her angry voice sounded particularly rigid.
Ning He glanced at her and calmly and politely said, "Director Bai, the commander has been in command for three consecutive days and is now resting. As for the matter you mentioned, the commander has said that since the Bureau of Proclamation is strongly requesting to investigate this matter, then please investigate thoroughly first before the military takes over. "
Deputy Director Bai was stunned. Thinking of the infuriating officer in the room and the command center that had always maintained a strange attitude, a trace of anger appeared between her brows. She coldly snorted and turned to leave.
Ning He watched her disappear into the corridor and the smile on his face disappeared. He gently knocked on the door and walked into the room. He said to the general beside the wide porthole in a deep voice, "The Bureau of Proclamation's investigation seems to have made no progress. Deputy Director Bai is here again to request for a military discipline review."
As a former member of Group 7, Ning He naturally couldn't bear to see Xu Le and Group 7 being humiliated and investigated. Although he knew that Xu Le and Group 7 had outstanding backgrounds, this investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Proclamation. He was only a mid-rank staff officer and couldn't do more.
Deputy Commander Yi slowly turned around with no expression on his face. As one of the big shots in the military, he didn't need to care about this investigation at all. However, since it involved Xu Le and Group 7, he had been maintaining a calm attitude and watching the show.
"Punishment by military law?" The general's face was full of ridicule. Not to mention that Xu Le and Group 7 had completed their mission beautifully, even if there really was a problem, would there really be anyone in the military who dared to conduct an internal investigation on their own?
Deputy Commander Yi was a little angry at the thought of the fierce battle still going on on the planet and the Bureau of Proclamation couldn't wait to capture their officers back to the warship. But the Bureau of Proclamation's position in the Federation was too high, so he couldn't stop it.
After a moment of silence, Deputy Commander Yi opened his mouth and said, "Keep an eye on the situation in the interrogation room. We must ensure the personal safety of Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le."
"What if … a conflict arises?" Ning He asked.
Deputy Commander Yi said with slight ridicule, "Of course we'll snatch him and send him back to the capital. Are we going to let him eat with the poker faces of the Bureau of Proclamation?"
On the other side was the Bureau of Proclamation, but behind Xu Le was the entire Federal military. If both sides were said to be the most powerful thugs in the Federation, then at the end of the line, the thug with the gun would ultimately be more vicious.
…
…
In the quiet interrogation room, an officer from the Bureau of Proclamation was recording with his head down.
Xu Le lowered his head and slowly sipped on his coffee. The investigation team didn't take any coercive measures against him, and they even provided him with delicious coffee. However, after answering countless questions in the past hour, even someone as stoic as him began to feel irritated.
The Bureau of Proclamation's investigation was in an awkward situation. Whether it was Xu Le obeying the military order, forcibly opening the communication channel, or something else, this was a matter of military discipline. However, at this moment, the frontline command was not willing to interfere with this investigation at all. Therefore, no matter how Xu Le answered, the Bureau of Proclamation couldn't come to the conclusion they needed.
The door was pushed open, and Deputy Director Bai walked in with a sullen face. He slammed the table in front of Xu Le and reprimanded him with a sharp and rigid voice, "You continuously disobeyed military orders. Do you know that at every step, you may have caused irreparable losses?"
Xu Le put down his coffee cup, lowered his head and answered in a hoarse voice, "But the fact is that I succeeded. I didn't cause any losses."
"Have a proper attitude! Raise your head, "Deputy Director Bai reprimanded him angrily.
Xu Le didn't raise his head. Instead, he picked up his coffee cup again and took a tasteless sip.
"I know that you are Minister Zou's future son-in-law, a reserve military officer that the War God has focused on training." After a moment of silence, Deputy Director Bai said, "I know that you have a powerful background, a powerful backer. I, and all the staff in the bureau, respect the War God and Minister Zou very much."
The female official's voice was sharp and sarcastic again. "But you have to understand that this is an investigation by the Bureau of Proclamation. I am already being very polite to you because of some important people. Otherwise, I would have already arrested you and all your useless team members a long time ago …"
Hearing the words "useless team members", Xu Le suddenly raised his head and stared into the woman's eyes. He knew very well the position of the Bureau of Proclamation in the Federation. If he really offended them, the Bureau of Proclamation didn't need to give face to the military. However, the mockery and contempt in the woman's words towards his team members was something that he couldn't accept.
"Do you know why I refuse to raise my head?" He looked at Deputy Director Bai and said, "Because I like to look at girls who wear glasses, but I'm really afraid that I'll vomit when I see this pair of glasses on your ugly pig face."
Deputy Director Bai was stunned. Her square face flushed with anger, and her whole body trembled. She pointed at Xu Le but couldn't say anything.
Such a low-level personal attack shouldn't have been enough to make her lose her composure, but ever since she started working, she had never met anyone who dared to be so disrespectful to an official of the Bureau of Proclamation!
Xu Le ignored her. He put the coffee cup on the table, stood up, straightened his military uniform, and walked out the door.
"Stop! You want to go against the investigation? "
"You asked me to help with the investigation, so here I am." Xu Le turned around to look at her and the stunned Bureau of Proclamation official and said, "You've been asking for so long, and there's nothing wrong. Why should I not leave?"
Deputy Director Bai was truly angered by Xu Le's calm and contemptuous attitude. She took a deep breath and ignored the man's background. She said in a low voice, "You opened the channel on your own, and that has already violated the Bureau of Proclamation's rules …"
Xu Le interrupted her and said, "Those are the internal rules of the Bureau of Proclamation. I've studied them, so you don't have to scare me. I'm not a member of the Bureau of Proclamation, so these rules can't control me."
"Is that so? The Bureau of Proclamation would like to know how you managed to activate the surveillance network on the planet. " Deputy Director Bai laughed, but there was coldness and viciousness in her smile. "I think it will be difficult for you to explain this question. Maybe you will need to come back to the Bureau of Proclamation with us for a few years to explain."
Xu Le's body stiffened. He finally understood why the Bureau of Proclamation officials did not care about the attitude of the Department of Defense and Philadelphia, and why they wanted him on the warship to help with the investigation.
An ordinary officer of the Federation had the ability to activate the surveillance network before the Bureau of Proclamation team. This was definitely something that would shock the Bureau of Proclamation.
He pondered in silence for a long time, and found that some of the things that he wanted to keep in his mind could not be hidden in the bottom layer of his hard drive forever like porn movies.
"My name is Xu Le. You should have my citizen ID. I suggest you check the authority given to me by the Charter."
He looked at Deputy Director Bai and said calmly, like the director of the Bureau of Proclamation giving orders to his subordinates.
"After you check it, remember to keep it strictly confidential. Only the two of you know my authority level. If the Bureau of Proclamation has any internal investigation, I allow you to report it to Director Bai."
Deputy Director Bai definitely did not understand this sentence. She looked at him coldly, as if she was looking at a crazy person. But then, a muffled sound came from behind her. The Bureau of Proclamation official in charge of recording fell to the ground heavily.
Out of curiosity, the Bureau of Proclamation official really checked the Charter authority of citizen Xu Le. The official was shocked by the level that appeared on the light screen and lost his ability to move.
Deputy Director Bai walked to the workbench uneasily. She took off her glasses and looked at the light screen. Her right hand trembled, and she could no longer hold the legs of the glasses.
