chapter 269: military order
translator: liu_kaixuan editor: valvrave
initially, chu chongshan was in charge of the armed police, and his sixth army was mainly responsible for maintaining shenhai islandâs security. whenever the earthworms attacked, the sixth army stationed in the city also played a significant role. on the other hand, general zhangâs subordinates were all elite soldiers. their combat expertise was the highest amongst any other troop in senhai island.
it was an entirely reasonable suggestion that general zhangâs third army should complete that mission. chu chongshanâs words enraged general zhang, but he had no way to refute them.
âcomrade zhang, what do you thinkâ¦â the chairman of the central military commission said.
the chairman was the one who had proposed shenhai islandâs creation, in other words, he was its founder. although not many soldiers were under his command, over 80% of heavy weapons, including primary battle tanks, rocket vehicles, and armed helicopters, were in the chairmanâs possession. as a result, he was shenhai islandâs supreme decision-maker.
âi understand your concerns. since the chairman has given the orders, then i, zhang tianyu, will follow them,â general zhang said.
he had no other choice other than accepting the most dangerous mission. it was an opportunity, but at the same time, a considerable risk. unavoidably, a few sacrifices needed to be made for the greater good. if all of his subordinates were to die, then heâd become a leader without any followers.
âitâs my honor undertaking this mission! i wonât return until the mission is completed!â
at that moment general zhangâs heart was filled with passion. although he knew that this mission wasnât as it seemed, since power struggles were involved, he was too lazy to scheme as the others. after all, he was a soldier first. protecting other people with everything he had was his bounden task!
âcomrade zhang, you are our hope!â the chairman of the central military commission said solemnly. âi will send the tank forces to accompany you, but when you reach that cave, it will all depend on you! be careful!â
âi know! take it easy and believe me!â general zhang had decided to fight to the very end.
seeing that scene, chu chongshanâs eyes flashed with a mixed glint of happiness and pleasure. zhang tianyu and chu chongshan couldnât stand each other. after all, it involved the power struggle of the central military commission. moreover, zhang tianyu was supporting jiang liushi!
chu chongshan couldnât live under the same sky with jiang liushi. in his eyes, it was a heaven-sent opportunity which would lead to the annihilation of general zhangâs military power.
during the entire siege period, the military was on standby 24/7. as a result, after the emergency military order was issued, it took only two hours for zhangâs third army to gather.
chu chongshan was standing on the roof of a tall building while holding a pair of binoculars to see the large number of troops. when they left, he sneered. if zhang tianyu perished together with the earthworm-mother, it would indeed be the best outcome for chu chongshan.
âdirector, itâs difficult to predict what will happen. what should we do if general zhang completes the mission?â a thin man asked standing behind chu chongshan.
if zhang tianyu completed the mission with a few sacrifices, then heâd be the ultimate victor. chu chongshan didnât say anything after his subordinateâs question.
at that moment, that man spoke again, âcommander, zhang tianyu took all of his members and even his guards, so his villa was empty! with my abilities, itâs not difficult to break into it! several weeks ago, when our people went to the qinshan nuclear power station, i had ordered my brother to bring some radioactive substances back. as long as you let me put a milligram in his tea set, heâll die. we should take this opportunityâ¦â the man seemed to be hesitating, so chu chongshan did.
after pondering a bit, chu chongshan shook his head and said, âshenhai island is still facing a crisisâ¦if the other members take note of our actions, theyâll kill usâ¦â
although chu chongshan wanted to remove all dissidents, or even monopolize power slowly, shenhai islandâs safety came first.
at night, shenhai island was deathly silent, but outside its walls, faint gunfire sounds could be heard, indicating that the night was not calm at all. in order to prevent the earthwormsâ attacks, senhai islandâs entire military and police were dispersed throughout the country. as a result, shenhai islandâs protection was weak.
in the cmc villa area, there was a small building lit with dim lights. it was chu chongshanâs villa, which was next to zhang tianyuâs. chu chongshan sitting in the dark house lit candles on the table. during wartime, all the power was used for any incoming battles. so even the villa districtâs electricity, belonging to cmc, was also stopped.
chu chongshan looked out of the window and stared at zhang tianyuâs building, revealing a cold smile. he took a delicate metal box out of the drawer with a crystal nuclei within. he took the nucleus out, put it in a teapot and then poured hot water. it was an evolutionary crystal! it was quite rare, so the military had strict protocols about their circulation. even a strong survivorsâ squad couldnât get their hands on them, no matter how much they were willing to spend. presently, evolutionary crystals would only be distributed to the militaryâs strongest paranormals.
chu chongshan, of course, was not a paranormal, but he had used his privileges to get two evolutionary crystals for himself.
