Strongest Soldier King Chapter 1405 1405: Motives Hard to Fathom

The Song family, which had been silent for a while, suddenly made a move that puzzled Luo Zheng. He contemplated with a grim expression. Song Yan is an important figure in the Song family, one of the Song family's three talents. Song Yan went into politics, Song Tao ostensibly went into business but actually acts as the proxy for the Family Head Song Haitian. Both were defeated by Luo Zheng, leaving only Song Nan, who is high-ranking in the military and has frequently caused trouble for Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng severed ties after leaving his original unit but didn't expect Song Nan to resurface. What does he want?

After a mont of reflection, Ghost Hand gestured for Wang Yong to leave, closed the door, and gravely said to Luo Zheng, "This is peculiar. We all know about your feud with the Song family. Due to my family background, I see things more clearly than you do. There are two possibilities for the Song family's actions this ti: One is to suppress the Li family's standing in the military district; the other is to infiltrate National Blade."

"What do you an?" Luo Zheng couldn't imdiately grasp this and asked in surprise.

"There are factions within the military too. Captain Li can hold the position of Commander of the Special Forces because he has his own foundation. Song Yan may want to suppress Captain Li, possibly seeking to replace him with soone of their own. Of course, the Li family's background is significant, making it difficult to touch them. That leaves the likely alternative: infiltrating National Blade," analyzed Ghost Hand.

"Infiltrate National Blade? What are they trying to do?" Luo Zheng asked in astonishnt.

"The Song family has no one in National Blade right now. Upon learning that we are selecting personnel, they rushed over, surely intending to arrange for soone to enter National Blade. First, to have an informant within National Blade in the future; second, possibly to target you from behind. Anywhere there are people, there's a world, it's the sa everywhere. You didn't grow up in a political family, and don't have in-depth understanding. We all co from such families and see through this matter better than you do. We absolutely cannot let the Song family succeed," Ghost Hand earnestly said.

"What does choosing personnel have to do with the Song family? Just reject them," Luo Zheng said nonchalantly.

"Ideally, that would be the case. But the Song family would then have an excuse to pressure Mr. Li because our selection process is public, and everyone has rights. Don't forget they are from the sa military unit. If we change to a different unit, the Song family wouldn't have any grounds to speak. If things got heated, the Song family would accuse us of using public affairs for private interests, nurturing our own cliques. All those political dirty tricks would erge," Ghost Hand explained helplessly.

"That troubleso?" Luo Zheng said in surprise.

"Nothing is impossible for them. Song Yan oversees politics. If he holds onto personnel files without releasing them, even if we can win a lawsuit against the higher-ups, it's a waste of ti. This is the most disadvantageous aspect for us," Ghost Hand explained with a wry smile.

"Understood." Luo Zheng's expression gradually turned cold. The greatest need for everyone is ti. They must form troops quickly and establish combat readiness to support Shadow on the battlefield. Ti cannot afford to be wasted. If a standoff against the Song family results in winning the lawsuit but losing ti, it's still undesirable.

"We absolutely cannot allow the Song family to place insiders within our Fourth Squadron. It's a matter of principle. If worse cos to worst, we could temporarily cancel recruitnt," proposed Ghost Hand.

"Exactly, we could cooperate with other divisions, borrow personnel if necessary. Cannot ruin a good pot of soup. That bastard making trouble at such a critical mont. Annoying," Snow Leopard said angrily.

"Let's go with the flow then. Are we afraid of a newcor? Even if they arrange personnel to co in, they can't stir up a storm. Moreover, the matter is not finalized yet," Luo Zheng said as he picked up the internal phone on the table next to him and dialed Captain Li's office.

Captain Li quickly answered, sowhat irritated and said, "Who is it?"

"It's , Song Yan is beside you, isn't he? I know about the matter. Let them participate," Luo Zheng said calmly, hanging up the phone before Captain Li could respond. He turned to Ghost Hand and the others, saying, "This mundane selection affair has beco interesting. I want to see how competent Song family's arranged personnel actually are."

"What do you an?" Ghost Hand curiously asked.

"Let's discuss it then," Luo Zheng said thoughtfully, planning how to deal with the Song family. Since the Song family is relentless and still wants to fight against him, let them co. Having defeated Song Tao and Song Yan, Luo Zheng hardly worries about having one more opponent like Song Nan. This psychological advantage made Luo Zheng's mind sharper and filled him with a strong sense of confidence.

Everyone saw Luo Zheng's strong confidence and exchanged glances without saying much more. After a while, Wang Yong ca to invite them to dine, ntioning Captain Li was dining with Song Yan and asked if they wanted to join. Luo Zheng imdiately understood Captain Li didn't want to embarrass him and declined, signaling Wang Yong to bring the al to the guest room.

Soon after, Wang Yong ca with the food and also brought so good wine, sat down to accompany. After several rounds of drinks, knowing the relationship between Luo Zheng and Captain Li, Wang Yong opened up, saying, "Leaders, I overheard clearly outside the door. Song Yan requested each military sub-district to send personnel over, thirty spots each, to participate in the selection. They spoke very grandiosely, made furious. Even the captain was frustrated."

"Understood, then let's rely on capability. We're all from the sa unit; seeing each other often, if your unit's selections co out on top, wouldn't it be a great honor?" Ghost Hand said, laughing.

"True, but it's hard to swallow. The captain is under the jurisdiction of the main military district and there's nothing we can do," Wang Yong said sowhat reluctantly.

"You learn the situation and tell us; how many talents are there in other military sub-districts?" Ghost Hand asked.

"Besides the five who represented the main military district last ti, surely there are talents being suppressed in other military districts. Objectively speaking, it's also an opportunity for them. Who doesn't want to excel? Who doesn't want grandeur? If you could select all the best from the main military district this ti, it would also give hope to others in the main district, have sothing to aspire to, anwhile proving that the main military district indeed produces talents, doesn't it?"

"Your ideological awareness is quite high," Ghost Hand glanced at Luo Zheng and smiled—there were things Luo Zheng wasn't convenient to say, and Ghost Hand, as a consummate expert, naturally understood the reasoning, effectively getting information for Luo Zheng.

"High, what high? It's all what Song Yan said in the captain's office. I got angry listening to it and learned it for your ears. Although there's so truth in it, interfering this way, if this matter spreads out, wouldn't it cause more trouble? Just wait and see; our unit brothers will definitely be furious," Wang Yong said angrily.

"Makes sense. You go and convey this sentint to everyone, have them give their utmost and try to hold all the spots. We will surely look after our own first, understand?" Ghost Hand said with a laugh.

Wang Yong's eyes glead as he abruptly stood up, saying, "Thank you, sir. That's just what I was waiting for. I'll go right away." He chuckled, turned, and left excitedly.

"That guy, pretty slippery, actually ca to extract information from us?" Ghost Hand marveling, said with a joking curse, everyone also laughed heartily with good nature.
