Chapter 1625: Chapter 1644: Divergent Opinions
"Nonsense, absolute nonsense. How dare that bastard Huo Beijiang make such a big decision on his own? Who’s going to be responsible if something goes wrong?"
A thunderous shout echoed in the office.
This is the temporary command center for diplomatic affairs in Kannaya, composed of the Northern Military District and the Southeast Military Region. People specifically responsible come from these two major military areas, many of whom have worked with Huo Beijiang and are quite familiar with him.
Particularly a few senior commanders, who are utterly furious about Huo Beijiang’s significant temporary decision. Some of the older ones have started taking medication to lower their blood pressure, they absolutely must at this point! They could very well get so angry they die if their blood pressure spikes.
"Now I understand why you all call him a bastard. Such a hasty decision, such an important matter, he made the decision without even batting an eyelid." Xi Liqun rubbed his chin, showing an amused expression.
Honestly speaking, he quite admires Huo Beijiang. As his current direct superior, having such a subordinate who can get things done and also cause trouble, he feels torn between whether he should laugh or cry. Looking at the expressions of his old comrades from the Southeast Military Region, however, he decided that laughing was better.
After all, he’s never seen anyone who could infuriate them to this extent before, Bei Jiang was the first.
In other words, the fact that the Southeast Military Region was bitten with rage yet helpless also indirectly indicates Bei Jiang’s importance! Despite their anger, they still have to grudgingly accept it, which signifies that this matter can’t do without Bei Jiang, right?
No one else would suffice.
Ge Jincheng, the commander of the 129th Army of the Northern Military District, glanced at his old rival Xi Liqun. Though he was displeased, he actually felt a bit envious. With a subordinate like Huo Beijiang, life must indeed be full of drama.
Those with weaker nerves would be scared to death.
"No way! This matter must be stopped." Ge Jincheng decided to voice his honest opinion. "This is simply a joke! Kannaya’s situation is too complex, the forces we can commit are too limited, and they’re gaming with people’s lives with this."
This kind of action wouldn’t just cause casualties, but could very likely lead to total annihilation. Cultivating an elite force isn’t easy, and this time, the Northern Military District dispatched quite a few people! He would be heartbroken if even one failed to return.
"Damn it! It’s really too damnable. This... this is clearly insubordination on the battlefield, he should be court-martialed."
"How does he dare?"
The representative from the Southeast Military Region glared, "How doesn’t he dare? Is there anything Huo Beijiang doesn’t dare do? Go and ask around in our Southeast Military Region, he’s done this kind of thing countless times."
"Then... how do you manage to tolerate it?" someone asked quietly.
"Uh... haven’t you heard the saying, ’The bigger mess someone makes, the bigger problems they can solve’? "
The parties then exchanged knowing glances and glossed over the topic.
Someone whispered, "Major General Huo is our senior commander’s treasured protégé, who’s bold enough to touch him?" Clearly, they’ve been bullied by Huo Beijiang not lightly in the past.
Finally, the representative from the Northern Military District pounded the table loudly, summarizing, "In short, this matter is too risky. We cannot send this little bit of hard-arranged forces to do something akin to a moth flying into a flame. Now, let’s hear everyone’s opinions."
