Chapter 256 Emergency transfer order, inspection work
"Hey, calm down first, don't be so anxious! It's not a big deal, it's just a few days of fun. There's no important mission to be carried out in our barracks right now, so just let him go."
Zhang Zuoxiang still stood by and tried to persuade them earnestly, trying to ease the atmosphere and act as a peacemaker.
In fact, he knew clearly in his heart that the father and son must have been quarreling and sulking with each other again. Otherwise, with Liuzi's filial and obedient nature, he would never have run to Donglu without saying a word.
"Let him go? What a joke!" Old Zhang's tone was filled with extreme dissatisfaction and anger. He complained indignantly, "Just because he is my son, he can openly ignore military law and do whatever he wants. Is it not okay to be so willful? If everyone behaves like him, how will we manage our Fengbei Army in the future? Wouldn't the entire team be in chaos?"
At this point, Lao Zhang became more and more excited, and his emotions became increasingly difficult to control.
His eyes widened, his face filled with rage as he continued to shout, "Absolutely not! This matter must be dealt with seriously. He must be taught a severe lesson!"
Obviously, Lao Zhang has made up his mind to use his own son as a scapegoat, taking this opportunity to establish his authority in front of everyone and let everyone know how serious the consequences of violating military discipline are.
At the same time, he also wanted to use this incident to warn and punish those factions that were secretly using tricks and making small moves, and to clearly convey to them such a message: Don't make me angry, otherwise even if it is my own son who has committed a crime, I will never show any leniency and will punish him without hesitation!
"You can punish him, but you can't remove the child from his official position right away."
Zhang Zuoxiang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then persuaded in a gentle and soft tone.
"How about demoting him to acting brigade commander and sending him out to fight bandits? Things have been pretty turbulent in Jiangcheng lately, with the bandits causing quite a stir, and they're quite large in scale."
"For him, this is a perfect opportunity to redeem himself and make meritorious contributions. If he does a good job, he can be reinstated. If he doesn't, it won't be too late to dismiss him!"
"What kind of punishment is this!"
When Mr. Zhang heard this, he immediately shook his head repeatedly to express his strong opposition.
"That brat just wants to run out and play all day long. And now, not only don't you punish him, but you give him an excuse to run out and play openly. Isn't that exactly what he wants? This doesn't feel like a punishment at all, it's a reward!"
Facing Lao Zhang's doubts and dissatisfaction, Zhang Zuoxiang seemed confident. He patted Lao Zhang's shoulder gently and comforted him.
"Oh, don't worry, leave this matter to me, there will definitely be no problem."
As he said this, in front of Lao Zhang, he picked up the phone on the table without hesitation and dialed the special line of the General Staff Headquarters.
After someone answered the phone, Zhang Zuoxiang immediately gave orders in a serious and unquestionable tone.
"Immediately send an urgent telegram to Zhang Liuzi, informing him that he must leave for Jiangcheng in a week to carry out the bandit suppression mission. This is a death order from above, and he is absolutely not allowed to find any excuse to shirk or refuse!"
After saying that, he decisively hung up the phone, then turned to look at Lao Zhang with a confident smile on his face, as if he had foreseen that this arrangement would bring satisfactory results.
"You're just going to keep pampering him!" Zhang Zuolin's eyes widened, his face scowling as he pointed at his old friend beside him, shaking his head and sighing. "If you keep pampering him like this, who knows what kind of disaster that little bastard will cause in the future!"
Hearing this, Zhang Zuoxiang laughed disapprovingly. He slowly stepped forward and said soothingly, "Who hasn't done some ridiculous things when they were young? Children always need to go through these things to grow up. In a few years, he will naturally grow up."
After a pause, Zhang Zuoxiang continued, "Don't worry. The Guard Brigade has always been under my jurisdiction. I'm keeping an eye on them. I don't think that kid can cause any big trouble. He definitely won't cause any major disturbance!"
However, Zhang Zuolin did not feel relieved at all because of these words. He just sighed helplessly, and his originally tense face gradually relaxed, but his eyes still revealed a hint of loss and melancholy.
He lowered his head slightly and muttered to himself in a low voice, "Alas...what the fortune teller said before was absolutely right. We are father and son in this life, but enemies in the past. It seems that I owe him this in my past life!"
"Send a telegram to Zhang Ye of the Independence Army. We've been troubling him for the past few days. When he has time later, please ask him to come to Fengbei. We'll repay the favor."
"I understand. Leave it to me." Zhang Zuoxiang nodded. Seeing that he was still a little depressed, he took his arm and said with a smile, "Let's go. Don't think about these troubles. Let's find a place to have a few drinks and play a few rounds of cards to relax."
"Anyway, there's no urgent military duties lately, so I'll just treat it as a vacation!"
……
The next day, in Qizhou’s largest private food factory.
Zhang Ye brought a group of personnel from government departments to visit the site in person.
In order to welcome this crucial visit, the owner of the food factory took great pains. In addition to carefully arranging various reception matters, he also mobilized a large number of manpower to repeatedly and thoroughly clean and tidy up the entire workshop. From the floor to the walls to the surface of the equipment, they were all wiped spotlessly clean and as bright as new. Even those easily overlooked places in the corners were not spared. Every detail was handled properly, for fear of losing face in front of the Marshal.
In the workshop, Zhang Ye changed into a white work suit and, under the guidance of the person in charge, walked into the production area to carefully check the actual operations of the workers.
It is understood that the factory's production orders are directly placed by the Qizhou Municipal Government. Specific categories include but are not limited to high-quality canned beef and pork, as well as various seasonal fresh canned fruits. At the same time, it is also necessary to complete related supporting work such as the preliminary processing of some common vegetables.
These products will eventually be supplied to the military to ensure the nutritional needs of the officers and soldiers of the independent army in their daily lives.
The fundamental reason why we go to so much trouble to come up with so many tricks is to solve the problem of food being difficult to preserve in summer.
Especially those meat products, without the protection of cold storage, they will quickly deteriorate and become smelly.
Even if live pigs are transported to the front line for slaughter, it is an impossible task to ensure that the pork does not deteriorate.
In comparison, canned food, a seemingly inconspicuous food, has advantages that cannot be underestimated.
Admittedly, the taste of these processed canned foods may not be as delicious and tempting as freshly slaughtered meat, but its greatest advantage is that it is extremely convenient to transport. It does not need to be carefully cared for like live pigs, and there is no need to worry about various accidents caused by the long journey.
More importantly, the shelf life of canned food is usually much longer than that of fresh meat, allowing people to enjoy it for a considerable period of time without having to worry about the food spoiling.
