Chapter 063 Corruption

20 minutes later.

All the soldiers in the base are concentrated on the playground. Huo Xiu stood in front of the crowd, looked around for a week, and immediately came to a conclusion in his heart: the soldiers' groups were clear, and those soldiers who pretended to be indifferent and not afraid of boiling water were all veterans; those soldiers who could still maintain a rigorous style and abide by discipline were recruits.

He still doesn't know why the veterans here look listless, but he is sure that these people dare to show this attitude in front of their own officers, and they will definitely be thorny in the future. He wanted to establish authority, and the first person to do the operation was this kind of person.

But he doesn't have these plans yet. After roughly understanding the current situation, Huo Xiu said, "The officers of all battalions come to me!"

Three officers came out of the team and strode towards him. The three are all majors, two of whom are army officers in green uniforms, and the other is an air force officer in light blue uniforms.

Huo Xiu said, "Report the attendance of your soldiers."

"Report, sir, I am the commander of the armored battalion and infantry battalion, with a total of 620 people, including logistics." A young major reported.

Another major stepped forward and said, "Shir, I am the commander of the artillery battalion. At present, there are 200 people."

"Air Force commander, currently 60 people." After the Air Force major finished speaking, his face was helpless.

After listening, Huo Xiu asked them, "Didn't your former officer say that there were a thousand people? Why is that so?"

The three majors looked at each other in connouries, and one of the artillery commanders said, "Shir, some people have gone out to patrol, and some have applied for retirement."

"Oh." Huo Xiu nodded, "What's going on with the patrol? Nothing during this period is recorded in the work arrangement.

When he asked this question, the faces of the two army officers were even more wonderful.

Huo Xiu knew from their look that there must be something fishy in it, but asked quietly, "Whose subordinate is the team going out to patrol?"

"Ours, sir." The two majors answered.

"Very good." Huo Xiu smiled and said, "Limit all your subordinates to 20 minutes, or you will bear the consequences!"

"Yes, sir." The two answered, and then turned around and left in a hurry.

"Annie, let the others stand here and practice their military posture for a few hours. Also, call those two people for me." Huo Xiu said to Anne, who had been standing behind him, then glanced at the Air Force Major, turned around and walked forward, "Come with me."

He walked to the shade of the tree, looked at the soldiers on the field, then turned his eyes to the major and asked, "What's your name?"

"Liu Shixin, sir." The major replied politely, "Is there anything you need to tell me?"

Although Huo Xiu is much younger than him, since he can become the commander of this base, the officers of their group of people are naturally not easily offended. Although he doesn't think he needs to pay special attention to this place, it's always right for the new official to be careful.

"Major Liu." Huo Xiu looked at the air force officer, who was much older than him, and said, "You have served here for a short time. You must understand what's going on with that group of people, right?"

"Excuse me, sir, what are you asking?"

"Do not pretend to be crazy!" Huo Xiu said disdainfully, "There is a very serious style problem here, and when I gave the order, there were so many people who dared to be absent for no reason. They just want to give me as a newcomer or have other plans. What do you think?"

"Sar..." Liu Shixin glanced at Huo Xiu, who was unhappy and hesitated, "In fact, this matter is not a day or two, and it is not easy to solve. It can be seen from the former officers."

"I'm here to deal with these thorns and ruffians." Huo Xiu said to him, "No matter where it used to be, whether it is abandoned or excluded by the superiors, as long as it falls into my hands, I promise to make it clear to everyone that I am a glorious alliance soldier!"

Liu Shixin weighed in his heart that he knew very well that serving in this place was actually living and waiting for retirement. No matter how hard the new officer tried, his patience would be wiped out by the time and helpless reality, and finally give up, or conspire with that group of people to do something that would disgrace the soldiers.

Will the young officer in front of him be the same? Liu Shixin can't guarantee whether he is hot for three minutes now, and once he chooses the wrong person, he can offend other colleagues. Once he walks on that road, there will be no good life in the future.

Huo Xiu can feel his inner struggle, but this is the best way to quickly understand the current situation here. He is giving the other party a chance. As for how to grasp it, look at these few minutes. No matter which point he chooses, Huo Xiu will have a countermeasure, but he still hopes that the officers in the base have not completely fallen.

"Sir, there are some things that can't be said in a few words." Liu Shixin glanced at the people on the playground, and Annie was coming with Zhao Yong and Lovell.

"Follow me to the office." Huo Xiu said to him.

Five people came to the office, Huo Xiu sat in a chair, and Annie habitually stood behind him. In front of him is Liu Shixin, who is still hesitant, who doesn't seem to have decided how to speak. Behind Liu Shixin stood Zhao Yong and Lover side by side.

"Say it."

Liu Shixin seemed to have made up his mind and opened his mouth and said, "Fight for the honor of soldiers. Anyway, I don't like the style of this group of people."

"Very good, you made the right choice." Huo Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Shixin began to say, "I have served at this base for five years. As the officer said, this is the place where those excluded officers are arranged to serve. It is basically a non-managed type, and the superiors often deduct military expenses here, and even some basic equipment cannot be supplemented."

"No wonder I found that some soldiers are still using old-fashioned F-A05 assault rifles." Huo Xiu said, "Please continue."

"Therefore, there is basically no training or exercises here. Just like my position as an air force commander, in fact, there are at most two troop carriers in the base that can be used normally, but if you fly too much, fuel will become a big problem. Liu Shixin said with a wry smile, "And the residents in this area are more aggressive due to historical problems. The local armed forces control some cities and even cooperate with government personnel. Customs often turn a blind eye to smuggled goods through seaports, and they don't have the courage to mind their own business.

"You mean 'local armed' rather than 'gang'?" Huo Xiu asked him.

"Yes, although they are a gang organization, they have never lacked light weapons and heavy weapons in their hands, and they are even better equipped than our group of alliance soldiers."

"You guys are too bad!" Huo Xiu said.

"Yes!" Liu Shixin laughed at himself and said, "That's why someone said, 'I'd rather be a soldier in the regular army than come to this excluded place as an officer'."

"In this complex environment, many officers began to find another way out for themselves. Among them, colluding with local gangs or covering up smuggling activities has become a major direction. When the duty of soldiers is no longer to defend the people but to earn personal interests, some of them have changed and become like this.

"So, the two majors' men went to the street to collect protection fees or help smuggle?"

Although Huo Xiu's words are a little funny, Liu Shixin understands that the facts are probably no different from what he guessed: "Yesterday I heard that they fell out with their former partners because of their interests, so they plan to promote a new leader and send many soldiers to operate near several casinos to declare the protection of the army."

"Yo, I've also been a casino hitter. I'm so fucking rich!" Huo Xiu said with a smile, but no one could hear any smile inside.

"They didn't call you?"

Liu Shixin smiled awkwardly and said, "On the one hand, I may be too old-fashioned and stick to that ridiculous military style; on the other hand, I have too few people to use at all. As long as I don't interfere with them, I will ignore them and go our separate ways.

"It's not ridiculous." Huo Xiu said seriously, "You should thank the remaining military style, which saved you once!"

Liu Shixin heard the meaning of Huo Xiu's words, and he asked, "Shir, are you going to do something against them?"

"I will not tolerate anyone who tries to challenge my authority." Huo Xiu said undeniably, "But this matter will slow down for the time being. When my troops arrive, that group of people will never run away!"

"Annie." Huo Xiu turned his head and asked her, "The branch of the Military CIA is not too far from here, is it?"

"There is a branch in the nearby city." Annie replied.

"Very good, it's much more convenient to kill people now." Huo Xiu's smile was a little cruel, but the others looked blank. Only Anne understands that the Military CIA wants to kill a few people, just like pinching an ant. The hat of treason covers your head, and no one dares to save you.

Moreover, Tang Feng is a colonel of the Military Affairs Bureau, and his power is not low.

"I can provide a list of soldiers with those two." Liu Shixin whispered, "But they are not easy to deal with, if they can't solve it at one time."

"Don't worry about this, just give the list to Captain Romanova." Huo Xiu is not worried about this. He should be worried about how to change the current situation of the base, and an obvious omen is that there will be many new recruits here.

It seems that Old Eaton also knows what Huo Xiu needs most at this time.

"Two, long time no see!" After thinking about this, Huo Xiu smiled and looked at Zhao Yong and Mia Lovell, who had been standing behind and had never spoken.

"It's a happy thing to meet you, sir." Zhao Yong smiled.

"I thought I would not turn over when I came here, but I think I was wrong!" Lieutenant Lovell said with a smile, "As long as you are here, I firmly support all your actions!"

In Liu Shixin's strange eyes, several people laughed.

"Okay, okay." Huo Xiu put away his smile and said, "It's my fault that I didn't inform you in advance. Have you been here for a month?"

"I've been here for a month." Zhao Yong said, "It's similar to what Major Liu said. The quality of the soldiers here is really poor. I have hardly received any training arrangements in a month."

"And the only few* are without fuel." Lovell curled his lips and said, "I really don't know why the military treats an independent regiment so cruelly."

"Let's complain later. As long as I'm here, it will become a standardized military camp." Huo Xiu told them, "In ten days, it is estimated that new recruits who have completed three months of preliminary training will be ushered in one after another. Guys, I have a task assigned to you guys.

Three people stand upright and stand up straight at the same time.

"Zhao Yong, there are several recruit companies in the base now. I'll arrange one for you. You can choose a few sergeants, and you will be their officers in the future."

"I understand, sir." Zhao Yong replied loudly.

"Lover," Huo Xiu looked at Lover eager to try, "Major Liu will arrange a flight squadron for you. Although no one has come yet, get familiar with it and you will be the captain in the future."

"Yes, sir." Lovell saluted unequivocally.

"Major Liu." Huo Xiu looked at this person. At present, he is only in preliminary contact and doesn't know what talents he has for the time being, so he can only arrange this: "You arrange a few subordinates to clean up the list of new recruits to be reported and conduct a simple test according to the type of arms. Meanwhile, you have been following me these days.

"Yes, sir."
