Chapter 88 Someone stole the tank's ammunition! Discovered?
As the news of the Ningguo army's withdrawal spread.
Some martial arts forces that had originally fled also began to return.
In particular, the news that Xingfengmen defeated Ningguo's 20,000-strong army shocked all forces.
It is not that there were no powerful martial arts forces in the State of Yue that defeated the army.
But all of those forces are top forces with many powerful people in the state of transformation.
As for the Xingfeng Sect, it is just a force in the border area of Yue State.
This was news that was beyond everyone's expectations.
Even in the three major cities of Yue State, there were rumors about this matter.
And just when everyone was discussing the authenticity of this matter.
An imperial decree from the Yue royal family once again shook all the martial arts forces in the border areas of Yue.
This decree was a reward for the major martial arts forces of Yue State for their contributions in blocking the army of Ning State.
Most of the rewards are gold, elixirs, and techniques for cultivation.
The most eye-catching one is the reward for the Xingfeng Gate.
The Yue royal family highly praised the Xingfeng Gate's action in repelling the Ningguo army.
In order to commend his achievements, the royal family decided that from now on, all martial arts forces within 200 miles of the Yue border will be under the jurisdiction of the Xingfeng Sect.
The promulgation of this decree represents great significance.
Because generally speaking, martial arts forces within the territory of Yue State can compete with each other for territory.
But if it is a martial arts force appointed by the royal family themselves, it will be different.
The martial arts forces appointed by the royal family cannot be seized by other forces.
Because this force is already protected by the royal family.
In the entire Yue Kingdom, there are only less than five top forces that can receive such a reward.
Each of these forces has several warriors in the state of transformation.
Under this reward.
The reward of 50,000 taels of gold given to Xingfengmen by the Yue royal family seemed insignificant.
You know, the border area of Vietnam is 200 miles long, with countless villages and towns.
These villages, towns, and martial arts forces will now be under the jurisdiction of the Xingfeng Sect.
At the same time, regular offerings had to be made to the Xingfeng Gate every year, and then the Xingfeng Gate would pay it to the royal family.
And in this process, Xingfengmen can gain great benefits.
In the past, the four major families in the border areas of Vietnam took the lead in collecting offerings from other forces.
Then the four major families would supply it to the royal family.
Today, the Xingfeng Clan has completely replaced the status of the four major families on the border of Yue State.
Modern world, military exercise site.
A scroll painting was hanging in the tank parking area.
The exercise is still going on at this moment, and there is not a single person here.
No one would notice that there is a scroll hanging here.
At this moment, ripples like water waves appeared on the originally calm painting.
The ripples spread out, creating a strange sense of spatial distortion.
A tank slowly drove out amid the ripples.
Chen Feng drove the tank to park it, then climbed out of the hatch.
He put away the scroll hanging nearby and walked around the tank to inspect it.
After returning to Xingfengmen, Chen Feng asked the warriors of Xingfengmen to clean the bloodstains on the tank.
But there are still some faint scratches on the tank body.
These were all chopped out by swordsmen from the Ningguo army.
These shallow marks are difficult to clean in a short period of time, there is nothing you can do about it.
However, Chen Feng was not worried about anything as long as he could get the tank back.
Even if it is discovered that the tank has been used, it will never be traced back to him.
Chen Feng looked at the time. He had been away from the painting scroll for nearly an hour.
In the modern world, only a dozen minutes have passed.
This time is not too long.
Without staying here for long, Chen Feng immediately headed towards the watchtower.
As soon as he arrived near the watchtower, he heard a deafening explosion coming from the exercise battlefield.
When Chen Feng came back, no one paid attention to him.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the battlefield.
The exercise was not concluded until it was almost dark.
Liu Mu put away the telescope and said to Chen Feng and others:
"Everyone, today's tour ends here. I will arrange a car to take you back later."
This time, Liu Mu only brought a few people from military industrial enterprises to visit.
A military exercise cannot be completed in one day, there are still many days to go.
But he couldn't let these people from the military-industrial enterprises stay until the end of the exercise.
Everyone immediately followed Liu Mu back to the military tent and began to pack up and prepare to go back.
In the military tent, Liu Mu asked Chen Feng, "How do you feel, Xiao Chen?"
Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then replied: "It's spectacular. I also saw a lot of weapons this time that I haven't seen before."
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Liu Mu smiled with satisfaction:
"I knew you young people would like this, so I came here specially for you to visit. I'll call you next time!"
Liu Qiming, who was sorting out documents, suddenly said:
"Xiao Chen, don't forget to tell me as soon as you develop new metals!"
Chen Feng nodded: "That's for sure."
Afterwards, Chen Feng, Liu Qiming and others exchanged phone numbers.
Chen Feng felt that he might be able to use these people in the future.
After all, these are the top figures in major military industrial enterprises.
At this time, several soldiers walked into the military tent. A square-faced man walked in, surrounded by several soldiers, with a very serious expression on his face.
Liu Mu asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
The square-faced man said in a serious voice:
"Just now when we were doing the post-battle statistics, we discovered that one tank was missing three high-explosive shells and a thousand rounds of ammunition."
Hearing this, Liu Mu was stunned:
"What's the big deal? Isn't it normal that the ammunition for military exercises is not counted?"
Liu Mu didn't think it was a big deal. A lot of live ammunition was fired during an exercise, so it was normal that they were not recorded.
"Our people have never driven that tank, and the Blue Army also gave us feedback that they did not send a team to infiltrate our side."
"So I suspect someone broke into the exercise site and stole the ammunition!"
The square-faced man's words made everyone present change their expressions.
Ammunition was stolen! This is no small matter.
And among them there are three tank shells, not to mention how valuable they are.
Once something like a shell appears in society, the harm it causes is enormous.
"Maybe they didn't count who could come to the exercise site and steal the ammunition."
Liu Mu obviously didn't believe this kind of thing.
The exercise ground was completely blocked, and it was almost impossible to transport three artillery shells and one thousand rounds of bullets from the exercise ground.
The square-faced man said seriously:
"This is also what we are confused about. Now please cooperate with us in the investigation and tell us clearly what you have done since you came here."
"Nonsense! Do you think we stole the tank ammunition?" Liu Mu immediately became unhappy.
His position was not lower than the other party's, it was just that he was in charge of equipment.
The responsibilities of both parties are different.
This time he brought Chen Feng and others to visit.
To let them be investigated now would be embarrassing for him.
Liu Qiming on the side hurriedly advised:
"Lao Liu, let them investigate. It won't take much time anyway."
Liu Mu stared at the square-faced man and said, "I will report this to my superiors!"
The square-faced man ignored Liu Mu.
Instead, he asked the soldiers to start asking Chen Feng and others what they did after arriving at the exercise site.
Chen Feng in the crowd was secretly shocked.
I still underestimated the army. Not long after the exercise ended, I found that the tanks had been used.
The soldiers began to ask questions one by one, and each soldier took notes in this notebook.
When Liu Qiming was asked, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Because Liu Qiming said that he and Chen Feng had visited the tanks.
"Is it just a tour? Have you ever driven a tank?" the square-faced man asked seriously.
Liu Qiming immediately said: "Why would we move the tanks? There are so many people watching there."
The square-faced man nodded, because what Liu Qiming said was correct.
There were indeed a lot of soldiers inspecting the tanks at that time.
If Chen Feng and Liu Qiming started the tank, they would definitely be discovered.
At this time, it was Chen Feng's turn to be questioned by the soldiers.
The soldiers basically asked Chen Feng what he did after arriving at the exercise site.
Is there anyone who can prove it for him?
Chen Feng also explained his itinerary, which was basically the same as what everyone else said.
The soldier took a brief note and didn't ask Chen Feng any more questions.
Because Chen Feng only went to the toilet for ten minutes.
Ten minutes won't accomplish much.
Besides, everyone else had gone to the toilet, so there was nothing suspicious about it.
In addition, Chen Feng didn't carry anything with him except a painting.
"Now that you've finished asking questions, can we leave now?" Liu Mu looked at the square-faced man with a bad look.
The square-faced man said to everyone:
"I'm sorry to bother you all, this is just a routine investigation, you can leave now."
After saying that, the square-faced man took his people away.
Outside the military tent, the square-faced man looked at the interrogation record in his hand with a heavy expression.
At this time, the adjutant next to him said, "Maybe we recorded it wrong. The tank's ammunition should have only been delivered here with those ammunition."
The square-faced man shook his head and said:
"If only shells and bullets were used, I wouldn't care so much. I've seen the marks on the tank. They are the wear and tear that can only be caused by fighting. Take a look at this report."
The square-faced man handed several photos to the adjutant.
These photos are all of shallow scratches on the tank body, there are more than a dozen in total.
The adjutant looked at it for a while and said in amazement:
"That's impossible. This tank has never appeared in the exercise battlefield from beginning to end, and there is no record of it being used."
The driver will record every tank's movements as it enters the exercise battlefield.
If this tank had appeared on the exercise battlefield, they would have discovered it long ago.
It is almost impossible that the tank was sent into battle without being recorded.
Unless someone uses superpowers to send the tank to a battlefield somewhere.
Then after the battle, the tanks were sent back.
But this seems a bit far-fetched.
The square-faced man ordered, "Forget it. Just make up a copy of the record, even if it was lost during the exercise."
A few shells are not worth much.
The army has no idea how much ammunition it consumes every day.
The square-faced man was just confused, so he investigated.
But there is really nothing that can be found out now, so we can only let it go.
