I was framed for taking the civil service exam, so I joined the National Security Bureau

Zhang Xing and his cousin continued to discuss for a few more words, and at this time Li Xianming walked towards them.

Li Xianming showed a trace of relief on his face and introduced:

"Comrade Air, comrade cousin, the backup power supply of the control room was successfully started, and everything is back to normal. Our team members are conducting a comprehensive inspection of the equipment to ensure that there are no other problems. I have said before that we have enough countermeasures and everything is still under my control. Don't worry, as long as we stay vigilant, the enemy will not succeed."

Li Xianming still said the same thing as before, and also told Zhang Xing and his cousin that everything was still under his control, and asked Zhang Xing and his cousin to continue to stay in the command room and accompany him to command.

Zhang Xing and his eldest cousin had drawn up a plan and were going to attack alone, so Zhang Xing took advantage of Li Xianming's words and said:

"Captain Li, you can stay in the command room. My eldest cousin and I want to go to the branch to patrol and see if there are any suspicious clues."

The eldest cousin also echoed: "Yes, Captain Li. We don't know much about command. Besides, we can't help much with you, Captain Li, in command. It's better to check around."

Hearing this, Li Xianming's face changed slightly, and his brows frowned slightly, as if he was half-believing and half-doubting what Zhang Xing and his eldest cousin said.

After hesitating for a while, Li Xianming shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate. There are many dangers inside the branch now. You are national security personnel from Kyoto. I have the responsibility to protect your safety. You should stay in the command room, which is relatively safe."

"Besides, the inspection work inside the branch has been ongoing. I have already made arrangements. You two don't have to worry too much."

Seeing Li Xianming's refusal, Zhang Xing knew more clearly that Li Xianming was worried that he and his cousin would act on their own, but if they did not act alone, they would not be able to break the current dilemma, so Zhang Xing still resolutely said:

"Captain Li, we know you are doing this for our own good, but there is no benefit for us to continue to stay in the command room. Please rest assured that we will not interfere with your deployment and tactics. We are just patrolling the periphery."

Faced with Zhang Xing's firm attitude, Li Xianming pondered for a moment, but then still shook his head, and a trace of anger seeped out of his face.

"It seems that Comrade Air and Comrade Big Cousin seem to have some doubts about my control strategy. Do you not believe in my tactical arrangement? If this is the case, you two can directly contact the leaders of the General Administration and explain the situation here. If the leaders of the General Administration think that there is a problem with my tactical arrangement and that I, Li, am not suitable for commanding this operation, then I, Li, can immediately transfer the command."

"But I need to remind you that the command of the entire operation is in my hands. Although you are from the Kyoto General Administration, as long as you enter the gate of the Southwest Branch, all your actions must be commanded by me. After all, I have to ensure your safety and the final victory of the operation."

Before Zhang Xing could speak, Big Cousin heard that Li Xianming was the first to tear his face, so he naturally didn't care.

The eldest cousin's face turned red, and he shouted at Li Xianming: "Li Xianming, don't go too far! We are here to assist you, not to be here as a decoration. We have our own judgment and ability, and we don't need your protection."

"To put it bluntly, when I was commanding the operation, you were not even a captain. Why are you arguing with me? What is the current situation of the Southwest Branch? You know better than anyone else. Comrade Air and I just want to patrol around. You keep blocking us like this. What do you mean? Do you have any ulterior motives?"

Li Xianming was also angered by his eldest cousin's words:

"Comrade eldest cousin, don't slander me! I am thinking about your safety. How can you be so ungrateful? I am the person in charge here. I have the power to decide your actions. You must obey my arrangements, otherwise I will report your behavior to my superiors."

The eldest cousin snorted coldly and made a gesture of leaving it to you.

"Come, I'll give you two minutes. Now go and ask Chief of Staff Wu Enquan. I want to see whether Chief of Staff Wu Enquan believes you or us."

The reckless attitude of his elder cousin made Li Xianming even more angry, but he did not dare to continue to provoke his elder cousin. He stood there without moving.

Zhang Xing could see that although Li Xianming was angry, he did not dare to really ask Chief of Staff Wu Enquan for instructions, because once he asked for instructions, he might be removed from command at any time. Moreover, he was more focused on dealing with Jiang Yu and Xu Zongshen at the moment. How to communicate with Zhang Xing and his elder cousin was not a big deal.It would be of no benefit to him if my brother continued to make trouble.

Zhang Xing saw that his cousin's anger had worked, so he said to Li Xianming with a gentle expression:

"Captain Li, my cousin was also impulsive. Don't be angry. We just want to solve the problem as soon as possible. I still said what I said before. My cousin and I continue to stay in the command room. It is of no benefit to the entire operation. We go to the periphery for inspection to see if we can find other clues."

"As for our personal safety, you don't have to worry at all. We are voluntary to carry out the task of periphery inspection, not coerced by you, Captain Li. If you are still worried, we can write you a voluntary application form. Even if my cousin and I are unlucky and unfortunately die, it has nothing to do with you, Captain Li, and your Southwest Branch."

In fact, Li Xianming did not ask for instructions from the Kyoto General Administration at the first time, which shows his attitude. He also knew that he could not continue to stop it. Zhang Xing said this just to give Li Xianming a way out.

After Zhang Xing said this, Li Xianming immediately changed his tone and said with a little helplessness:

"No need for a voluntary application form. I was a little hasty just now and offended you. Please forgive me, Comrade Air and Comrade Big Cousin. I am mainly concerned about your safety."

"Since you insist so much, I will agree to your request. However, you must be careful and not make any mistakes. If you encounter danger, retreat immediately and don't fight."

Zhang Xing and Big Cousin saw that Li Xianming finally agreed, and they were relieved. When they were about to leave the command room, Li Xianming said again:

"Comrade Air, Comrade Big Cousin, wait a minute. Since I have agreed to your request, I also hope that you can agree to one of my requests."
