Chapter 1269: Star Sea (Seventy-three)
"Please come in."
Wang Chen, who was sitting at his desk and looking through some documents, just looked up when he saw Meng Liangao pushing the door open.
Wang Chen's eyes flashed, he stood up and saluted, "Hello, sir."
"Sit down."
Meng Liangao smiled and replied, "There's no need for us colleagues to be so polite."
The leader of the First Mechanized Infantry Regiment of Senhai sat down opposite Wang Chen, then took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket: "Would you like one?"
Wang Chen shook his head: "Thank you, sir, I don't smoke."
"It's great to be young."
Meng Liangao lit a cigarette and took a deep puff without even exhaling a single breath.
Wang Chen smiled as he watched him finish a cigarette.
Meng Liangao sighed, put down the lighter in his hand, and asked: "Staff Officer Wang, you have been in the First Mechanized Infantry Regiment for half a month. How do you feel? Can you adapt to the conditions here? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."
Wang Chen replied politely: "Thank you for your concern, sir. Everything is fine."
Meng Liangao stared at Wang Chen in a daze, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes, as if to penetrate the latter's soul.
Wang Chen kept smiling.
After a moment, Meng Liangao retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Staff Officer Wang, let me tell you directly, what exactly do you want to do?"
In his half life, he had met many young people, including nobles, gentry, citizens and common people, ordinary people as well as geniuses. He could be said to be well-informed.
But Meng Liangao had never seen a young man like Wang Chen.
Although he is at an age full of vigor and enthusiasm, he possesses a calmness and sophistication that most people cannot achieve.
He tried several times, but found it unfathomable!
Although Wang Chen did not cause any trouble during this period of time, for Meng Liangao, Wang Chen's existence was like an invisible fishbone stuck in his throat, which he could neither swallow nor pull out.
Very very uncomfortable!
Meng Liangao could no longer remember who was the last person who gave him this feeling.
But there are definitely not many such people.
But his intuition told him that it was impossible to deal with Wang Chen using conventional means, so he took the initiative today.
Let’s see what happens!
"What do you want to do?"
Wang Chen put away his smile and said calmly, "Captain Meng, I don't quite understand what you're saying. I'm just doing my job. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"You did nothing wrong."
Meng Liangao took out his cigarette case again in annoyance, took out another cigarette and lit it: "But you make me very uncomfortable!"
After saying what was in his heart, he immediately felt much better.
In fact, Meng Liangao did not realize that his misconduct today was entirely the result of Wang Chen's active pressure.
During this period, Wang Chen did not do anything out of line or beyond his authority, but he kept reviewing the files of the First Mechanized Infantry Regiment and frequently patrolled the base...
All these little things, bit by bit, brought pressure to Meng Liangao, which, when added together, seemed as heavy as a mountain!
Wang Chen smiled: "Captain Meng, there is a proverb that says, if you do nothing wrong in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. What are you afraid of?"
Meng Liangao was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed red: "What should I be afraid of?"
He raised his hand and wanted to slam the table, but for some reason he thought of something and forced himself to hold it back.
The mechanized infantry regiment commander heaved a sigh of relief, quickly regained his composure, and said with a dumb smile: "Forget it, Staff Officer Wang, I will talk to you openly and honestly. Are you here to investigate the rebel forces?"
Wang Chen stared at the other party, his eyes as cold as a knife: "Captain Meng, you should know that the dignity of the Imperial Army cannot be insulted!"
Meng Liangao lowered his eyes subconsciously, not daring to look at Wang Chen.
The atmosphere in the staff room suddenly became solemn and depressing.
After a long while, Meng Liangao sighed and said, "Staff Officer Wang, it's not that I don't want to do anything, but the situation of Senhaixing is too special. There is really little I can do."
In fact, the upper echelons of the empire had long known about the existence of rebel forces on the Senhai star.
However, this planet is an ecological experimental planet, and most of its minerals have been mined out. The remaining value is very limited and it is not even worth the attention of bigwigs.
As for the rebel forces hiding in underground mines, to them they were like rats in the sewers. If they could be easily killed, they would be easily killed.
But if the cost of clearing out is too high, then it will be totally not worth it!
Meng Liangao was thrown here to maintain the situation. His background was indeed very powerful, but he was just an abandoned child of the family. In addition, the power he controlled was very limited, so it was really difficult for him to achieve anything.
It is precisely because of this that even after such a big incident last time, he was still sitting on the throne of the commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment.
No one else who is capable of sitting in this position is willing to take it, and no one can do better than Meng Liangao!
For Meng Liangao, maintaining the stability of the Yinsen base is the most important thing.
What he wanted was to complete his term of office and then be transferred back to the main planet at all costs.
This caused Meng Liangao to be very worried that Wang Chen would cause a big incident, and he would be implicated!
"Okay, I understand where you're coming from."
Wang Chen listened patiently to Meng Liangao's complaints, and then said, "I just need a name now."
Meng Liangao was stunned: "What's the name?"
Wang Chen asked back: "What do you think?"
Meng Liangao's expression suddenly turned ugly. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and replied, "If you want to know the news about the rebel forces, the Miners' Mutual Aid Association may know something."
As the name suggests, the Miners' Mutual Aid Association is the miners' organization of Senhaixing. Such organizations are widely present in the empire. As long as they are registered, they are legal. Their main function is to help each other among members and to fight for their rights and interests.
But the Miners' Mutual Aid Association of Star Senhai is a little different. Due to the special circumstances of this planet, this organization has become the largest civilian force in the Yinsen underground city.
Without a legitimate reason, Meng Liangao did not dare to deal with the Miners' Mutual Aid Association easily, lest the latter launch a large-scale riot!
After all, they are still needed to mine the minerals near the Yinsen base.
In addition, many soldiers of the Sennheiser 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment, including some middle and lower-level officers, are locals and have close ties with the Miners' Mutual Aid Association.
This made Meng Liangao even more cautious.
But he was sure that the Miners' Mutual Aid Association must be involved with the rebel forces.
There's just no evidence.
The leader of the First Mechanized Infantry Regiment of Senhai emphasized: "They are not easy to mess with. If you can't kill them with one slap, it's best not to act rashly."
He was most afraid of Wang Chen causing trouble.
"I understand."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder."
Looking at the smile on Wang Chen's face, Meng Liangao suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
