Chapter 535: The situation is out of control
"I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Come here! Bring the witness up!"
Chang Tai looked calmly and resolutely at the door of the meeting room, where two soldiers stood, escorting a dishevelled and panicked man. This man was Li Jun's brother-in-law, and his face was full of fear and a look of help.
"Bring the person here." Chang Tai said lightly.
The soldiers heard the noise and came forward with Li Jun's brother-in-law. When the brother-in-law saw Li Jun, he immediately felt like he had found a savior and struggled to shout, "Brother-in-law, save me! Save me!"
Li Jun's face turned pale when he saw this. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Chang Tai and shouted angrily: "Chang Tai, what do you mean by this? You arrested my family in front of me. Do you still respect me as a military commander?"
Chang Tai sneered and said, "Commander Li, you know what good things your family has done. The reason I did this today is to let everyone see that some people claim to be loyal to the Southern Government on the surface, but what they are doing behind the scenes!"
Li Jun's brother-in-law was so scared that he was shaking all over. He said with a sad face: "Brother-in-law, save me... I really didn't betray the Southern Government. I just... I was confused for a moment and accepted a little benefit from the Northern bandits..."
Li Jun was furious when he heard this. He glared at Chang Tai and said in a trembling voice, "Chang Tai, you are framing me! You want to use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents!"
Chang Tai was unmoved. He said calmly, "Whether it is a frame-up or not, we will know it after investigation. If Commander Li is really innocent, why should he be afraid of these?"
Li Jun was choked by Chang Tai's words and was speechless. He glared at Chang Tai angrily, but didn't know how to refute. The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, and everyone watched this scene with bated breath.
Under Chang Tai's order, the Military Control Commission personnel acted quickly, took out a thick stack of documents from the folder, and placed them on the conference table.
"Commander Li, this is all the evidence about your brother-in-law Han Shuang's contact with Chinese Central Intelligence Agency personnel." Yang Yi, the head of the Military Control Commission, said in a steady voice.
Li Jun's face turned pale in an instant. He looked at the documents in disbelief, as if trying to find some flaws.
"It records in detail the time and place of Han Shuang's meeting with the Chinese Central Intelligence Agency personnel, as well as the content of their conversations." Yang Yi continued, "From the documents, we can see that Han Shuang has met with the other party at least five times in the past year, and each time involved some confidential information of the Southern Government."
Li Jun's brother-in-law Han Shuang had collapsed to the ground at this moment. He murmured to himself: "I... I didn't... I just..."
The staff of the Military Control Commission remained silent and took out another document. On the cover of this document were written in large letters: "Han Shuang's Confession".
Yang Yi picked up the document and read it expressionlessly: "According to Han Shuang's account, his contacts with the Chinese Central Intelligence Agency were all conducted under the instruction of Li Jun. Every time they met, he would pass on confidential information of the Southern Government to the other party in exchange for money and other benefits. In the last two meetings, Han Shuang clearly expressed Li Jun's intention to surrender to the Northern bandits with the Second Army."
Hearing this, Li Jun's face turned completely livid. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Yang Yi and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense! You are slandering! I, Li Jun, will find any excuse to accuse Nan. I, Li Jun, have always been loyal to the Nan government!"
Han Shuang had completely collapsed at this time. He avoided looking at Li Jun. He cried and shouted at Li Jun: "Brother-in-law, save me... They forced me to do this. They said that if I didn't do this, they would... peel off my skin..."
Li Jun was furious when he heard this. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "Bullshit! You, a traitor, dare to frame me! And you! Chang Tai, as the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. You actually touched my people in front of me!"
As he spoke, he swung his arm violently, sweeping all the documents on the conference table to the ground. He pointed at Chang Tai, Yang Yi and others, and said angrily: "You people are really ruthless! I, Li Jun, fought for the Southern Government, but ended up like this! Well, since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! From today on, I, Li Jun, have nothing to do with the Southern Government! I hold tens of thousands of troops in my hands, and I can enjoy a good life wherever I go!
Li Jun suddenly lost his temper, like an enraged beast, his roar echoed in the conference room, shocking everyone. His eyes were red and his face was ferocious, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.
However, facing Li Jun's anger, Chang Tai seemed unusually calm. He looked at Li Jun with a firm expression, and said word by word: "Li Jun, you were a scoundrel in Huixian, Taizhou, living a life of poverty and poverty. It was President Huang who appreciated you and gave you a chance by sending you to Nanpu Military Academy. He hoped that you could turn over a new leaf and become a new man."
"President Huang's trust and cultivation of you have enabled you to grow from a street scoundrel to the leader of an army. Your Li family has also grown from a few broken tiles to one of the wealthy families in Taizhou because of your rise. It can be said that without President Huang, you, Li Jun, would not be where you are today."
Chang Tai's tone gradually became stern, and he continued: "You have achieved your current status and glory thanks to President Huang's promotion and trust. However, you are not grateful, but instead want to betray the Southern Government and collude with the Northern bandits. Do you deserve President Huang's kindness and the Southern Government's cultivation?"
Li Jun stopped but did not look back. He took a deep breath and said with some sadness and unwillingness: "Chang Tai, you keep saying that I am sorry for the Southern Government, but do you know what the Southern Government has become now? It has no hope at all. I do this just for the soldiers under my command. I don't want them to die in vain on the battlefield. This is understandable!"
Chang Tai frowned and said in a deep voice: "Li Jun, if you do this, you will only push the Southern Government into the abyss! You will become the sinner of the entire Southern Country!"
Li Jun turned around abruptly, his eyes red, glaring at Chang Tai: "I don't care about that! I only know that if we continue to be loyal to such a government, my soldiers will only end up in a miserable situation! The Southern Government is not worth our lives at all. You can even give up General Liu Fang, and we will become abandoned pawns at any time!"
When Liu Fang was mentioned, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense. Previously, Liu Fang had defended Wanxi City when he ran out of ammunition and food, but the Southern Government chose to abandon him, which made the generals of these troops feel disheartened.
Li Jun continued, "Do you still remember Liu Fang? This old general fought for the Southern Government for most of his life, but ended up being abandoned. Is such a government still worthy of our loyalty?"
At this time, Liu Zhi also stood up, walked to Li Jun, and spoke in support: "General Li is right! In addition to the matter of General Liu Fang, the commander of the Fourth Army, Zong Yuan, was assassinated by the Military Control Department without expressing his position, so he turned to China in anger. All this was forced by you!"
