Chapter 317 - Qin Fens Backing (1/2)
“I will only say two things.”
The low voice immediately attracted the gazes of everyone in the conference room with these six words.
Snake King: he had always been the spiritual leader of East Asia Military Region. Many times, his words alone could direct the final results of a meeting.
“If Qin Fen leaves the army, then it won’t matter to our army how others suppress him. But…” Du Hen took a sip of the subpar green tea in the conference room. “Before he leaves the army, he is a member of our army. If a general can’t even protect a soldier under him, who would be willing to follow you into war?”
Lee Myeong Jeong pursed his lips as a smile of disapproval appeared on his face. Qin Fen isn’t a recruit of our State of Korea, and so naturally, he doesn’t have any relationship with us. So why should we offend Song Wendong just because of an insignificant lieutenant colonel?’
The generals of the State of Korea sneered. Their thoughts were also in line with Lee Myeong Jeong. However, Snake King’s reputation was too great. He was one of the top-ranking figures in the entire federation army. Normally, he was more of a hidden leader of the East Asia Military Region. He was not like Yasumoto Takeshi, whom Lee Myeong Jeong could directly with cutting remarks face-to-face.
Du Hen, disregarding the dissatisfied look of Lee Myeong Jeong, tapped his fingers on the table lightly. “As for the problem of Qin Fen, my personal opinion is to cultivate him and give him a bright future.”
During previous military meetings, whenever Snake King stated his opinion, the conference room would always become extra loud. But today, the conference room became very quiet after Snake King made his statement.
Many people in the conference room were taken aback by this statement. Everyone was very clear about what this stance represented. This meant that they would be standing opposite to Qilin!
Lee Myeong Jeong smiled. His face was all smiling. If it wasn’t so quiet here, he would have laughed out loud heartily. He would have even looked up to the sky as he did so to express his happiness.
The East Asia Military region was a huge military region consisting of every state in East Asia. Every general, with their respective states, had a different sway in the military meeting. And the State of Korea had always been a weak military state and had always been actively trying to compete for more say in the military meeting.
However, as long as Snake King – Du Hen was present, the military of the State of Korea simply doesn’t have any decision-making power.
This time… The smile on Lee Myeong Jeong’s face became even bigger. Snake King, whose judgment had never been wrong, finally made a wrong call! He actually wanted to protect Qin fen against Song Wendong.
Snake King was very strong. Lee Myeong Jeong never doubted this. However, no matter how strong Snake King was, his prestige or strength was far from that of Qilin – Song Wendong.
Snake King, who has always been calm, has finally revealed a flaw just because of a young man! Lee Myeong Jeong was very happy. He discovered that many generals of other states were also very happy.
He knew that the thoughts of these people were in line with the State of Korea. They wanted to bring the Snake King down from the high pedestal of East Asia Military Region. And this was the perfect opportunity.
If we use Song Wendong to fight Snake King, then Du heng’s prestige in the East Asia Military Region will take a great hit! It is even possible that Du Hen will not be able to climb back up in the East Asia Military Region because of this. And as such, the upper echelons of the East Asia Military Region will face a reshuffle!
Spiritual leader of the East Asia Military Region? Lee Myeong Jeong smiled, once again. Maybe it was finally time for him to change his seat.
“Ke… ke…”
Lee Myeong Jeong coughed twice as he removed the smile on his face and looked serious again. Slowly, he got up and slightly bowed to Du Hen. Snake King was still the spiritual leader of the East Asia Military Region. No matter how he was going to launch a counterattack later, he couldn’t disparage the basic etiquettes.
“General, you are the person I respect the most. You have always been my model and target in my life. Pertaining to your stance, I have never doubted and hesitated to stand by your side. But today…” Lee Myeong Jeong showed an apologetic smile. “I can’t agree with you. No matter how promising Lieutenant Colonel Qin Fen’s future is, it can’t compare with Qilin. I am afraid you are wrong this time.”
“Yes, General. You may be really wrong this time.”
“How could the importance of Qilin compare with an insignificant lieutenant colonel.”
One after another, the conference room was drowned in everyone’s voice. Almost nobody wanted to miss this opportunity. Everyone wanted to weaken Snake King’s influence.
Zhao Huzi smiled coldly. He never expected that an insignificant Qin Fen would become the fuse of a secret battle between the upper echelons of the army once again. It was the first time in the world that an insignificant lieutenant colonel could suddenly affect the undercurrent among the upper echelons of the entire East Asia Military Zone. It was something that not even many generals could achieve.
Tap… tap… tap…
