1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

After Francis brought He Qingchuan and Jack back to the training ground, he first asked someone to take the two groups to the confinement room. Then he returned to the office to report to Batuo.

"General, I have brought back the two groups of people involved in the fight. You decide how to deal with them."

Batuo was processing documents at the time. He said casually, "Disqualify them from the competition. Also, lock up the Chinese soldier who caused the trouble in the detention room. Release him after the competition is over. As for the rest, you can handle them."

Francis left Batto's office after hearing the order.

As soon as he went out, he ran into Gurney. Gurney handed Francis a cigarette in a familiar manner and asked with a smile:

"Cousin Francis, did the general say how to deal with those people?"

Francis took the cigarette from Gurney and put it in his mouth. Gurney took out his lighter and lit the cigarette for Francis. Francis took a puff of the cigarette and said:

"You don't have to worry so much. The general didn't ask about this matter, and I didn't report what you did.

He should still think that it was the Chinese soldiers from the special forces company who started the trouble. The general just said that those people from the special forces company will be put in solitary confinement first. And their qualifications for the competition will be cancelled. They will be released after the competition. I will take care of the rest of them. "

When Connie heard what Francis said, he immediately took out an envelope, handed it to Francis, and said:

"Cousin, can you please let Jack and his men go? After all, they are helping me."

Francis quickly refused, then said:

This is impossible. Jack and his friends are involved in a fight, so they will definitely be disqualified from the competition. Also, I don’t know anything about your affairs. I won’t accept anything from you.”

When Gurney heard that Jack and his team were only disqualified from the competition and did not receive any other punishment, he immediately took out another beautifully crafted watch and handed it to Gurney. He smiled and said:

"Cousin, since you don't want cash, then take a look at this watch. This is your favorite Rolex watch. You have to accept it."

Francis didn't want to have anything to do with Connie, so he didn't take the watch. Instead, he frowned and said to Connie:

"Gornie, don't try to be clever. With your parents' connections, you can return to the army and train honestly. It's only a matter of time before you are promoted to lieutenant. Why did you collude with Jack and his gang to cause so much trouble? If you are found out, your future will be over.

And if you are found out, I will not help you. You will have to bear the consequences of your own actions."

When Connie saw that Francis refused to accept his things, he cursed in his heart, "No wonder you can only be a guard captain. You are so rigid. You deserve to be confined to this position for the rest of your life."

Although Connie was very dissatisfied with Francis, he did not dare to show it on the surface. He said with a wry smile:

"Cousin, you know what kind of people my parents are. They told me that if I didn't get the rank of lieutenant by the age of 26, they would send me to Africa.

My cousin, I am already 25 years old this year. If I don’t take advantage of this opportunity to get promoted, I might really have to go to Africa to live with wild people next year.”

Francis just glanced at Gone. He knew his cousin's character very well. He wanted to take shortcuts in everything. He was also a little afraid of death. The previous suppression of the Philippine rebels was a great opportunity to make a contribution. But he said it was too dangerous, so he found an excuse not to participate.

Francis shook his head helplessly and said to Connie, "You can take care of yourself."

After saying this, without paying any attention to Gourney, he went straight back to the confinement room and announced the punishment decision.

After receiving the order, Clay immediately conducted an investigation.

Because of what Jack and others did in the game, the interests of every contestant were damaged. So when Clay came to investigate, many people told the truth about what happened.

In this way, Clay's investigation went smoothly and he figured out the matter that afternoon.

After figuring out the whole story, Klay immediately reported the cause of the incident to Green.

After Green figured out what happened, he was very angry. He cursed:

“For a place in a competition, these people actually resorted to such means. Are they still soldiers?

Clay, go and arrest that cheating Gurney and his accomplices.

Don’t they think the ranking is so important? Then I will cancel their results this time. That’s not enough, I will cancel their last results as well. Our army does not need such dishonest people.”

Clay saw that Green was a little angry. Gone and Jack were from the Marine Division. He felt that it was not worth it to offend General Barto for such a small matter.

He immediately reminded: "General, it's not appropriate for us to arrest them like this. After all, they are from the Marine Division. We should still inform General Bato before arresting them.

Besides, strictly speaking, they didn't actually break the rules, they just took advantage of a loophole in the rules. I think we should release the special forces first."

After Clay's reminder, Green remembered that the players from the special forces team were still in the detention room. He quickly took Clay to the detention room.

Seeing Green coming, Francis immediately stood up and saluted Green.

"Hello, General."

Green nodded symbolically, and he quickly asked Francis:

"Francis, where are the soldiers from the special forces company that you brought back? Where are they now?"

Francis is Barto's confidant, so he also knows that Green attaches great importance to the special forces company. He quickly replied:

"General, the soldiers from the special forces company are all in the detention room. We haven't punished them much."

Green immediately said, "You are making a fuss. How can you lock the door and put them in solitary confinement? Let them go."

Francis was a little embarrassed after hearing Green's words. The order to put the special forces company in solitary confinement was given by Barto. He was Barto's man and could not disobey Barto's order. And although he looked down on Gurney, he still wanted to help his cousin.

So he said to Green with an embarrassed look on his face: "General Green, I'm sorry, General, those Chinese people violated the rules of the game. General Barto ordered me to put these people in solitary confinement and release them only after the game is over. I cannot disobey General Barto's order."

Green was a little annoyed when he heard Francis' words. He said:

"I am the highest commander here. Can't I ask you to release the people?"

Francis said:

"General Green, please forgive me. Without General Barto's order, I cannot let these soldiers of my special forces company leave."

Green pointed at Francis and said, "Okay, I'll go find Batuo now."

After saying that, Green left the confinement room angrily and said to Klay:

"Let's go to General Batau's office."

Soon Green came to Barto's office. Seeing Green coming to his office, Barto immediately greeted him:

"Commander Green, why are you here?"

Green looked at Barto and thought, since he is here, I will explain the matter to Barto. He must deal with that Gourney. So he said:

"Commander Batuo, I came here this time because I have something to tell you."

Bato looked at Green with some doubts. He thought to himself that his relationship with Green was not that good. What did Green need to discuss with him? So he asked:

"Commander Green, what's the matter? You need to come to me in person."

Green thought about it and decided to deal with the special forces company first. He couldn't let Lu Chen give up because of this. He said:

"Look, didn't you ask Francis to take people to arrest a group of contestants who were involved in brawls? You should release those soldiers from the special forces company."

Green attached great importance to the special forces company, and many senior US military officials in the Philippines knew about this. But Barto didn't expect Green to come to him in person for this matter. So he gave Green a face and said with a smile:

"So that's what it is. For something like this, why would you need to come here in person? Why don't you just ask Clay to come over? I'll ask Francis to release him right away."

Seeing that Barto was giving him face, Green was very satisfied. He thought to himself that since Barto was giving him face, he would not hold him accountable for not being strict with his subordinates, and it would be considered as returning a favor to him.

He smiled and continued:

"Captain Bato, I wonder how you dealt with the people who got into this fight."

Hearing Green's question, Barto immediately said:

"General Green, I originally decided to disqualify those special forces players who were involved in the brawl. I was planning to put them in solitary confinement for a few more days. Since you, General Green, have come in person, I will just let it go. I will let them go back and continue to participate in the next competition."

After hearing what Bateau said, Green was satisfied at first, but later he found out that Bateau only punished the people in the special forces company and did not mention those who caused trouble at all, which made him feel unhappy.

He thought, although those people who were in charge of the trouble were all under your command, you can't be so partial. You were not willing to punish them at all.

Green said jokingly: "General Batuo, what about the others? How were they punished? They were the ones who started this matter. You can't not punish them."

Batuo was stunned. Wasn't the incident instigated by the special forces soldiers? How could Green say that the incident was instigated by someone else?

He glanced at Green and felt a little suspicious. He wondered if the people in the special forces company were relying on Green's attention and were the first to complain, confusing right and wrong in front of Green and pushing the responsibility onto others.

Barto hated this kind of villain in his heart. He felt that he needed to remind Green, so he said:

"Mr. Green, you must have made a mistake. Someone here reported that the Chinese soldiers from the special forces company violated the rules of the competition. Because they couldn't run faster than the others, dozens of them surrounded and beat up a dozen soldiers who were running ahead of them."

When Green heard this, he knew that someone had come to Barto to complain. He said:

"General Batuo, you should investigate it yourself. I have already sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

I will not hide it from you, this incident was caused by a soldier from your Marine Division who wanted to get a ranking, so he lined up people in the competition and blocked the way of all the contestants.

The soldiers of the special forces company did not pay attention to their strength when they accelerated and knocked down a soldier from the Marine Division. The fight broke out because the soldier from the Marine Division stood up to retaliate.

I think you should investigate the matter thoroughly before dealing with both parties. The person who caused the dispute should be dealt with more severely so that people will be convinced. Your current handling of the matter will easily make people think that you are biased towards one side, which will easily lead to more serious conflicts. "

Batuo was shocked. He couldn't believe that this was something his soldiers could do, so he immediately called the guards.

"Go and call Francis."

Soon Francis arrived at Barto's office. He saluted Barto and Green and said:

"General, what do you want from me?"

Bato asked, "Tell me, what exactly was the reason for the fight between the Special Forces Company and our Marine Division during the five-kilometer weighted cross-country race? Have you found out? Are you hiding anything?"

When Francis heard Barto ask this, he knew that Green must have known about Gone. He cursed Gone in his heart. He had warned Gone that something bad would happen sooner or later, and now it had indeed happened.

It was impossible for him to let Goni's matter affect his future. He said to Bato:

"General, you didn't ask me to investigate this matter, so I didn't. This matter was reported to you by Gourney. I will call him to tell you the details."

Barto said to Francis angrily:

"No need to look for him, go and investigate this matter for me."

Francis immediately said, "Yes, sir!"

After saying that, Francis walked out of Barto's office. After he walked out of the office, he whispered to himself:

"Gornie, Gornie, I can't help you this time. You're on your own."

Francis was quite clear about what Connie had done, so he did not do any investigation. He asked someone to find a few players to understand the situation and then came back to report.

After Barto learned the truth, he was so angry that he smashed the cup. Then he said to Green:

"General, don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

Green smiled and said, "There's no need to pursue the previous matter, just deal with this matter."

After saying that, Green left Batuo's office.

Not long after Green left Batuo's office, He Qingchuan and others were released from the confinement room.

At the same time, Barto announced that all the results of the weighted cross-country race were invalid and needed to be re-run. He also announced the punishment for Gurney, Jack and others.
