Chapter 120: The Storm Subsides

  Gao Yang furrowed his brow slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he said in a deep voice, "You've all worked hard, go rest first. I'll take care of this matter."

  Weixi and Bolante exchanged a glance. Nodded, saluted, turned around and left. The command room was left with only Gaoyang alone. Gaoyang leaned quietly against the chair, stretched out his hand to gently tap on the map.

  "This is an opportunity," Yuán diǎn suddenly said.

  "Uh-huh, I know." Gao Yang responded somewhat absent-mindedly.

  "Aren't you eager to make way for those young officers? This is a good opportunity." Yuan's tone was somewhat cold.

  "I said I know!" Gao Yang said somewhat impatiently. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

  After a while, perhaps feeling that his tone was somewhat excessive, Gao Yang said in a low voice to Yuandian, "They are doing it very secretly. Although everyone knows what's going on, I have no reason to take action against them now."

  "You're thinking too much! Don't you know what your identity is? You're not even a person from this world! You have no foundation here at all, and it's only because of the advanced productive forces from another time-space and the bio-warriors I provided that you've been able to make it to where you are today! Your success has come too easily, with hardly any setbacks, and yet you're already in the position you're in today!" The Origin's voice was icy cold as he spoke.

  Gao Yang's face turned somewhat unsightly, and he opened his mouth without speaking.

  "Listen, you need to understand one thing: before you met me, you were nothing! What's wrong? Now that your status and position are different from before, you're starting to worry? What are you worried about? The army disobeying orders? With the Bio Warriors in control of the army, no one can take away your military power! Worried about your reputation? You have no idea what you really need!"

  "What do I need?" Gao Yang leaned against the command platform, asking somewhat irritably. Yuan Dian's sudden rebuke left Gao Yang feeling somewhat caught off guard. However, he quickly calmed down and decided to have a frank and open talk with Yuan Dian.

  "Your fate was sealed the moment you got your hands on me! When you were living the life you once dreamed of, relying on me. Have you ever thought that with this ultra-advanced black technology, if your secret is exposed, you'll immediately be surrounded by the world's craziness?! At that time, without sufficient self-defense capabilities, your outcome will be miserable, no need for me to say it, you can imagine it yourself!" The original point said in a tone devoid of any emotional color.

  "En, continue." Gaoyang nodded slightly and said in a low, expressionless tone.

  "Your loved ones, luxurious rich life will all become a nightmare! What you need to consider is not your own reputation! Other people's feelings! The only thing you need to do in this world is to get energy points! Energy points that can allow you to protect yourself, protect your loved ones and loved ones!" Yuandian paused for a moment before continuing.

  "When I first came to this world, I told you that the energy points I stored have been depleted! Everything in the storage space needs to be activated by earning energy points from you! Without these futuristic things, how can you protect your family and loved ones in modern times? Unless you want to abandon them. Leave alone in this world!" Yuandian said in a low voice.

  Gao Yang twitched his mouth and a gloomy expression spread across his face as he said in a low voice, "How could I possibly leave them!"

  "Just set your own goals, don't be swayed by some strange things. In this army you have absolute authority, your greatest advantage is to do whatever you want! But you're considering this and that, I think you're overthinking!" The original point's tone gradually became angry.

  "Expand your strength through transactions in two time and space, then go to earn energy points. Everything else is serving this goal!" Gaoyang's eyes gradually became more determined.

  "Don't waste any more time, your secrets can't be hidden forever! One day it will be known to the whole world! I understand you're not satisfied with my interruption of your decision last night. But! That was the best choice for you! You originally had nothing in this world, what are you afraid of losing?" Yuán diǎn said seriously.

  Gao Yang leaned against the pillar, quietly lit a cigarette, and didn't say anything else. He slightly lowered his eyelids. The expression on his face changed rapidly, and after half a beat, he suddenly opened his eyes, which had already turned icy cold.

  Liu Jiye Colonel is the commander of the Sixth Division artillery, he was a member of the Northern Army troops responsible for escorting military supplies when Gao Yang organized the security team in Feng County.

  Since Gao Yang formed the artillery corps, he joined as an artilleryman. He followed Gao Yang on his southern and northern expeditions, and in a short period of time, he rose from being a small soldier to becoming a colonel artillery commander!

  Logically speaking, Liu Jiye's current status and treatment, as well as his standard of living, should be enough to satisfy him. However, human ambition is a very strange thing indeed.

  Liu Jiye thought back to his time in the Beiyang Army, where his superiors lived like local emperors! He felt he could do the same! He didn't mean to oppose Gao Yang, but just wanted to be a military leader like others.

  Gao Yang was very strict with military discipline, and when it came to killing people, he showed no mercy. At that time, several soldiers in the Northern Army platoon who remained in Gao Yang's army were executed on his orders for various violations of military discipline!

  Those bloody heads didn't scare Liu Jiye and the others, but instead made them resent Gao Yang even more. "I've been following you through thick and thin with my head held high, I may not have any merits, but I've had hardships, if not hardships then at least fatigue! What's the point of getting some money? You actually killed us without batting an eye!"

  Led by these officers, and later joined by the original Soviet military officers under Gao Yang's command. Through continuous connections, this group of people gradually formed a faction in Gao Yang's army.

  Gao Yang had long known about their affair, but they hadn't opposed him and hadn't done anything against military discipline. Gao Yang could only temporarily turn a blind eye, waiting for the students of the Military Academy to grow up quickly!

  After the end of the previous battle in Magic Capital, under Gao Yang's deliberate suppression, none of these people were promoted!

  They immediately understood what Gao Yang meant, their road had come to an end! From now on, this army would be the world of the Military Academy students! This matter was the original fuse that triggered everything!

  After several gatherings and debates, they finally came to the conclusion "Unwilling to leave like this!" Having gotten it back only to lose it again, anyone would find it hard to accept! They decided to make a last-ditch effort!

  Last night, when Wei Xue's order arrived at Liu Jiye's place. Overjoyed in his heart, Liu Jiye immediately understood that this was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone!

  The news spread quickly, and the military school students who were expected to replace the old-fashioned officers and German mercenaries were stirred up. They set off one after another to go to the command post to confront Wekes! As for Liu Jiye and others, they sat on the mountain watching the tiger fight.

  What made Liu Jiye feel uneasy was that Gaoyang didn't show up last night! He also spent a sleepless night!

  It's been a long time since I followed Gao Yang. Liu Jiye felt that Gao Yang was an extremely ruthless person! No matter how great your past achievements were, once you made a mistake, no one had ever been forgiven!

  Even Li Zhengcheng, who was considered by everyone to be Gao Yang's absolute confidant, and had been following him since Beidu, was dealt with by Gao Yang without hesitation because he took money that wasn't his! Let alone others!

  After a night of contemplation, Liu Jiye's heart grew increasingly anxious. Upon learning that Gao Yang had arrived at the command center, he didn't feel any excitement in his heart. Instead, a faint sense of fear rose from the depths of his mind.

  He couldn't guess what Gao Yang would do! Liu Jiye was restless in his command post, and the faint unease deep within him grew stronger.

  Just as Liu Jiye was about to find someone to discuss it with, the door of the command center was suddenly pushed open! Liu Jiye turned his head in anger, and his face instantly turned pale! The one who pushed open the door and walked in was a military policeman!

  Liu Jiye's mind was in a daze, standing there stiffly with his mouth open, but unable to say a word!

  Men wearing white steel helmets walked up to him in big strides. Pulling out a warrant, they shouted loudly: "Liu Jiye! You're under arrest!"

  "Huh?" Liu Jiye finally came back to his senses, let out a long sigh as he looked at the arrest warrant in front of him, slightly lowered his head, and had a look of utter despair on his face. He had thought of every possible outcome but never expected that Director Gao would be so decisive!

  He slightly raised his head, adjusted the military uniform on his body, glanced at the surrounding officers, and stretched out a somewhat trembling hand to receive the order book.

  The garrison commander rushed forward and blocked Liu Jiye's way as he walked out of the command center, leaving a room full of artillery officers staring at each other in shock "Something big has happened!"

  The arrest action was carried out among many troops. The small group where Liu Jiye was located was caught off guard. During the arrest, there were those who wailed and begged for mercy, those who pretended to be calm, those who loudly shouted and questioned the order, and even those who openly resisted with force!

  Not a single soldier chose to follow them, and these rebellions were like ripples on the ocean that vanished in an instant!

  At the same time, all college officers who participated in last night's disobedience to military orders received a two-level demotion as punishment. At the same time, many of them also received temporary appointments to certain positions!

  Hu Conglu temporarily took over as artillery commander with the rank of lieutenant, Zhang Xinghai temporarily took over as battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment with the rank of junior lieutenant, and Zhang Zhonglin temporarily took over as regimental commander of the 7th Regiment with the rank of lieutenant... These young officers took their most crucial step in their military careers in this way!

  Zhang Zhonglin and others who received the order did not have a particularly happy expression, they already knew about Weixi's chief of staff resignation.

  Zhang Xinghai, who was filled with remorse for his actions, was about to go find Major General Dawes, but was stopped by Zhang Zhonglin.

  "Alright, Xinghai! Don't make any more trouble! Remember, this matter ends here! Never mention it again in the future!" Zhang Zhonglin said with a serious face.

  Zhang Xinghai nodded with a seemingly understanding yet puzzled expression!
