Chapter 394

The next morning.

Among the towering mountains, inside the Northwest Military Region Command Headquarters.

Chen Guoan was sitting in his office processing official documents when suddenly, Wu Di knocked on the door and walked in from outside.

"Commander!"

"Wang Lao's satellite phone, in the conference room..."

"He wants you to go over and answer it now..."

"..."

Hearing this, Chen Guoan's heart didn't have any fluctuations.

He had long expected Wang Lao to call on this satellite phone.

He just didn't expect Wang Lao to call directly the day after the military exercise ended.

Chen Guoan tidied up his appearance and walked toward the conference room.

The conference room was empty.

Only Wang Lao's projection was placed in the center of the conference room.

The furnishings around were also very simple; besides tables and chairs, there were only a few green plants, very characteristic of the military.

Seeing Chen Guoan arrive, Wang Lao slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed for rest.

"Old Chen!"

"You're finally here, sit!"

In front of Wang Lao, Chen Guoan didn't dare to be slack, and immediately sat down opposite Wang Lao in a well-behaved manner, like a primary school student.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Lao raised his teacup and took a sip of tea.

Only then did he slowly open his mouth to speak.

"Old Chen! I must congratulate your Northwest Military Region first!"

"Sweeping away the shame of three years, you finally won the championship today!"

"This year's all-army grand exercise, your Northwest Military Region won really beautifully!"

"I heard it only took four hours to end the battle..."

"That's a record-breaking achievement..."

Wang Lao's smiling voice came through, and Chen Guoan didn't hesitate and responded quickly.

"Wang Lao! It's all the result of the joint efforts of all officers and soldiers!"

"As the Commander-in-Chief, I didn't actually contribute much..."

"Besides, the other military regions are not weak opponents, and our side won very arduously..."

Chen Guoan is the commander of the three armies after all.

He immediately picked up Wang Lao's topic and talked eloquently.

On the side, Wang Lao silently blew on the tea leaves, took a sip from time to time, and then looked at Chen Guoan with interest.

"It was quite arduous..."

"I'm also hearing for the first time that a military exercise can make such a big mountain disappear..."

"Back when I went to the Korean Peninsula to fight the American Empire, the American Empire had to drop dozens of tons of artillery fire to destroy a mountain peak, and we did it in one military exercise..."

"It can only be said that the times are progressing..."

Hearing this, Chen Guoan's heart skipped a beat.

What was meant to come, finally came...

Wang Lao really came because of the Yaoxian Mountain matter!

Thinking of the military order he had signed in front of Wang Lao before, Chen Guoan's heart was already a bit panicked at this moment.

"Yes..."

"Now that technology has progressed, ammunition has become so powerful..."

"..."

"It's because of Song Qi again, right..."

Wang Lao's one sentence directly made Chen Guoan feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar!

He slowly raised his head and looked into Wang Lao's deep eyes.

He also knew that escaping now was useless, so he could only nod silently.

Acknowledging it.

Smart people, facing even smarter people.

The best method is to be honest.

Otherwise, it's just annoying.

Seeing Chen Guoan acknowledge it, Wang Lao didn't talk nonsense.

He went straight to the topic.

"Then do you remember how you promised me that day?"

"General Chen, does what you said still count?"

At this moment, Chen Guoan's back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He had originally wanted to laugh this matter off.

Who would have thought that Wang Lao would take the initiative to bring it up.

Clearly, Wang Lao didn't want to make this matter small, and might even be aiming at himself or Song Qi.

Thinking of this, Chen Guoan made a decision in his heart instantly.

"Wang Lao! Of course I remember..."

"Guoan... is willing to step down from the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest Military Region..."

Wang Lao looked into Chen Guoan's eyes, like a god who could see through the human heart.

Facing Wang Lao, even an old monster like Chen Guoan could only feel that the other party was unfathomable.

He couldn't grasp Wang Lao's bottom line at all.

Wang Lao raised his teacup and drank tea.

The scene fell into an eerie silence.

"Guoan, no need to be so excited!"

"I'm just saying, this kind of thing can be big or small, it depends on how we handle it!"

"Don't you think?"

"You've done quite well, why would I want to dismiss you?"

"I came to find you for something else."

Wang Lao said with a smile.

"Something else?"

Hearing this, Chen Guoan's heart was filled with doubts.

After all this, the front was all just foreshadowing!

What kind of matter could it be that required Wang Lao's status to first use dismissing him to beat him?

Couldn't he just arrange it directly?

Vaguely, a sense of unease arose in Chen Guoan's heart.

"Hmm!" Wang Lao nodded and continued: "I want to transfer Little Song to the Navy to research warships..."

"No!"

Hearing that Wang Lao was actually targeting Song Qi.

Chen Guoan couldn't sit still immediately.
