Chapter 361 Military Academy Registration
"Who does he belong to then?" Liu Huang asked, like a supporting actor.

Ge Shuping pointed out succinctly: "This person is a capable general under Director Yang. It is said that at the previous factory meeting, Director Yang strongly recommended him to be the director of the factory office, which shows how important his position is."

"However, this proposal was rejected by other leaders."

"Do you want to know who took the lead in vetoing it?" Ge Shuping said to Liu Huang with a meaningful smile.

Liu Huang was moved when he heard this, "Who is it? Could it be that Li Huaide?"

Ge Shuping nodded to him with satisfaction and said approvingly, "Really smart, you're right, it's him, a little unexpected, isn't it?"

Liu Huang was shocked when he heard this. His mouth opened into a circle involuntarily. He whispered in disbelief: "Logically speaking, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents, and blocking their future is even worse. The two of them should be incompatible. But how could Peng Guoan's niece be entangled with Li Huaide?"

Then, his eyes suddenly widened, and his tone was filled with a bit of disbelief: "Could it be that Peng Guoan is actually a pawn planted by Li Huaide? The two of them were just performing a double act in front of Director Yang?"

Ge Shuping quietly lit a cigarette, his expression gradually becoming serious, "I'm afraid so. Li Huaide's ability to get to where he is today is not entirely due to his background and connections. His scheming, tactics, and personal abilities should not be underestimated either, right?"

"This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that we don't know how many people in the factory have been won over by him and secretly joined him."

"Therefore, we must be cautious and careful, and never be careless, otherwise the consequences will be beyond what you and I can bear!"

Liu Huang felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He nodded repeatedly and agreed, "That's true. No wonder that guy was so arrogant and fought against Director Yang's group. No one has been able to completely suppress him yet."

After saying this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he had a deeper understanding of the complexity and cruelty of this struggle.

Ge Shuping teased: "What's the matter, are you scared?"

When Liu Huang heard this, he straightened his neck involuntarily, with a bit of stubbornness and disdain in his tone: "Afraid? That grandson is afraid! Others may be afraid of him, but I, Liu Huang, have always been daring. Not to mention him, even if the emperor came, I would still dare to compete with him and bring him down."

Hearing this, Ge Shuping clapped his hands and laughed, "Good boy, I was right about you."

"Yes, no matter who he is, as long as he dares to break the law and bring harm to society, we must be determined to fight him with wits and courage, and fight to the end without compromise."

"However, the evidence we have about him is still weak and not enough to completely defeat him. If we want to make sure he has nowhere to hide, this evidence is far from enough. We must dig deeper and collect more solid evidence before we can completely bring him down."

"For example, whether he embezzled or accepted bribes, whether he put personal interests above public interest, whether he forced women, etc., these are all part of the key chain of evidence. The more detailed the evidence, the more prepared we will be. Only in this way can we completely defeat him."

Liu Huang nodded repeatedly, his eyes flickering with determination, "I understand, this guy is so arrogant right now, and he doesn't even realize that we are investigating him intensively."

"However, I'm afraid I can't handle this complicated situation on my own. You must find help for me as soon as possible, and we must work together to put an end to this arrogance in one fell swoop!"

Ge Shuping's tone was steady and firm. He promised briefly and forcefully, "Don't worry. I will quickly arrange for you to have help. In addition, you need to shift your focus to investigating Peng Miaomiao. I have a feeling that she must have made some important discoveries."

"Yes, Chief!" After the conversation, Liu Huang stood up and gave Ge Shuping a standard military salute with neat movements, his eyes revealing respect and obedience to his superiors.

Then, he turned around without hesitation, walked towards the door with firm steps, disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving behind a capable figure.

After Liu Huang left, Ge Shuping pondered for a while.

He immediately picked up the phone on the table and shook it a few times. When the familiar beeping sound turned into a steady connection tone, he said calmly: "Hello, please transfer to the staff headquarters of the Second Guard Division, thank you." His words were concise and revealed his unquestionable competence and decisiveness.

…………

April 1965, 4, Huairou, Beijing.

After undergoing a rigorous selection process, Liu Zhiye was able to study at the PLA Advanced Command College, which he had long admired.

In front of the towering gate of the PLA Advanced Military Command College in Beijing, Liu Zhiye, carrying a heavy bag, stood tall and waved his hand to his driver Yu Miao. The sunlight shone on his resolute face, reflecting his determination and expectation for future challenges.

Today is the day when Liu Zhiye reports to the Military Academy. Meanwhile, his driver Yu Miao is also ready to go to Shishi Infantry School for further studies. The wheels of their fate are turning quietly on their respective paths.

This farewell means that we will never meet again. At the moment of farewell, Yu Miao, a man of steel, couldn't help but burst into tears.

Although Liu Zhiye seems calm, his heart is actually in turmoil. After all, separation and death have long been a common sight in his life.

However, at this moment, his eyes still turned slightly red, revealing an indescribable sadness.

To him, Yu Miao is far more than just a driver. He is a partner who fights side by side with him and a brother with whom he has deep feelings. This friendship has long surpassed the boundaries between superiors and subordinates and is deeply engraved in each other's hearts.

Finally, Liu Zhiye's gaze gently swept across the back of the jeep that gradually disappeared at the end of his sight. He quickly adjusted his mood and walked towards the sentry post at the school gate with firm steps.

Every step seems so steady and powerful, as if saying goodbye to the past and fearlessly welcoming the future.

Liu Zhiye quickly exchanged a standard military salute with the sentry and said concisely: "Hello, squad leader. I am a new student reporting to the Advanced Command College for advanced training. Here is my letter of introduction, please have a look." His voice was clear and powerful, revealing the competence and confidence of a soldier, which made people involuntarily have more respect for the new student.

The sergeant at the sentry post took the certificate and letter of introduction handed over by Liu Zhiye with both hands. He examined them quickly and carefully with sharp eyes, and after confirming that they were correct, he handed them back to Liu Zhiye quickly and respectfully without any hesitation.

The whole process was concise and efficient, revealing the rigor and competence unique to soldiers.

"Hello, Commander! Please wait a moment. I will contact the Political Department for you immediately. According to regulations, new students must first report to the Political Department of the academy."

Liu Zhiye nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then stood quietly there, waiting for the arrival of the political department with a calm look, without any anxiety or uneasiness.

Everything around him seemed to be still, only time was passing quietly, and he, like a sculpture, was waiting quietly.

About ten minutes later, a jeep roared out from the depths of the college, passing like a gust of wind, and instantly closed the distance to the school gate. When the car reached the gate, the speed suddenly slowed down until it stopped smoothly without any drag.

The car door opened, and a lieutenant colonel stepped out first. His steps were steady, revealing his extraordinary temperament; he was followed closely by a sergeant major. The two walked one in front and one behind, in perfect sync, adding a bit of unusual atmosphere to this quiet campus.

The two men came straight towards Liu Zhiye, stood at attention, and saluted again.

"Hello, Chief! I am Zou Ji'en, the head of the Personnel Management Section of the Academy's Political Department. I have been ordered to come and greet you."

"This is Squad Leader Ma. Let him take your luggage to the dormitory!"

After Liu Zhiye returned the greeting, he smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, comrades!"

Then the three of them got in the car and headed straight for the college’s political department.

The Political Department of the Advanced Military Command College is located in the northeast corner of the campus. A four-story building stands quietly, and next to it is an artificial lake with rippling blue waves.

The scenery here is particularly charming when midsummer comes. At that time, the lotus flowers in the lake bloom in layers, almost blocking out the scorching sun in summer, adding a rare touch of softness to this rigorous military academy.

It attracts many eyes, and even the toughest men can't help but stop and indulge in this rare tranquility and beauty.

Standing in the HR district of Beijing, this emerging advanced military command academy.

It was gloriously born in 1958 and is a branch of the Jinling PLA Advanced Military Command College. It carries a profound military heritage and infinite hope for the future.

The Military Academy is located in a magnificent and vast area with complete facilities, fully demonstrating the style of modern military education.

On the simulated training ground, dust is flying and tanks are roaring, simulating the ever-changing battlefield of the future; teaching buildings stand tall, the sound of reading is loud, and the light of knowledge gathers into a sea here.

In the research room, researchers are immersed in precision instruments, exploring the infinite possibilities of military technology. The library has a rich collection of books, ranging from classical military tactics to modern strategies, which is a treasure trove for students to gain wisdom and broaden their horizons.

The dormitory buildings and office buildings are staggered, which not only ensures the quality of rest for the students, but also maintains the orderly daily operation of the college.

At the shooting range, the sound of gunfire rang out one after another. The precision shooting training enabled every student to hone their eyes like an eagle.

The indoor training hall is a training paradise that is not affected by the weather. Whether it is fighting skills or tactical drills, they can all be fully demonstrated here.

In the swimming pool, the waves are rippling. The students strengthen their bodies in the water and also cultivate an indomitable will.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the college is also equipped with the latest international electronic classrooms. The high-tech teaching equipment makes the transfer of knowledge more intuitive and efficient, opening a window to the future battlefield for students.

The office of the Director of the Political Department is on the third floor.

"Boom!"

"Please come in!"

"Report! Chief! New students have been ordered to report here. Please give your instructions!" Personnel Section Chief Zou Jie'en pushed open the door, saluted Minister Liao with firm steps and reported in a loud voice.

Minister Liao, who is about fifty years old, is an outstanding figure who possesses both the demeanor of a scholar and the temperament of a political cadre.

He is an old revolutionary who participated in the famous Long March and experienced the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, and the Korean War.

Minister Liao nodded gently upon hearing this, "Xiao Zou, please invite this student in. I want to meet him."

"Yes!" Zou Ji'en saluted and turned to leave.

"Chief! Minister Liao wants to see you!" Zou Jie'en came out of the office and said to Liu Zhiye who was waiting outside the door.

Liu Zhiye quickly adjusted his posture, stroked his clothes, and his eyes flashed with determination. He knew that this meeting with Minister Liao was very important and he had to leave a deep and good first impression on the other party.

So he took a deep breath, turned all his tension and anxiety into motivation, and prepared to meet the upcoming meeting in the best condition.

As mentioned earlier, the PLA Advanced Military Command College, a world-class institution, is helmed by Liu Shuai, who serves as both the president and the political commissar, leading the direction of the college.

The burden of daily leadership and meticulous management actually falls on the shoulders of the vice-president and the deputy political commissar, followed closely by the director of the political department, who sits firmly in the fourth seat of the core management of the academy and is a key figure in the military academy.

After Liu Zhiye was ready, he pushed the door open and walked in. He met Minister Liao's gaze and walked forward with firm and powerful steps.

"Hello, Chief! Liu Zhiye, Chief of Staff of the Second Guard Division of the Capital Garrison District, is reporting here. Please give me your instructions!"

Minister Liao spoke in a Nanhu accent, "Comrade Liu Zhiye! Please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Chief!" Liu Zhiye said, sitting upright.

Minister Liao looked at Liu Zhiye again and said with a satisfied smile: "Haha, Comrade Liu Zhiye, I have heard a little about your deeds!"

"I also know that you were once Liang Daya's capable subordinate, right?"

Liu Zhiye was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Chief, do you know my old chief?"

Upon hearing this, Minister Liao chuckled and said meaningfully, "More than knowing each other, we both joined the Red Army in the same year. Although we were in different units at first, fate played a trick on us. After the reorganization, we became comrades-in-arms fighting side by side."

"It was not until the late period of the Liberation War that I left my old unit because of the establishment of the Military Academy. Otherwise, you would have been my subordinate!"

Liu Zhiye's face lit up with joy when he heard this. He said simply and clearly, "It turns out that the chief is my former boss. This is really beyond my expectation. Seeing him today is like meeting my family again. I feel very close to him."

Minister Liao laughed and said, "Haha, don't be so happy yet. As soon as your old leader heard that you came to me for further studies, he immediately called me. Guess what he talked to me about?"

Liu Zhiye's face lit up when he heard this, and he said bluntly, "What else can I say? I'm definitely asking you to be strict with me, and I would never ask you to take care of me."

Upon hearing this, Minister Liao's expression froze for a moment, then he couldn't help but smile, "Haha, it's true. The soldiers trained by Liang Daya are indeed extraordinary. The styles of the two of you are exactly the same!"

"Yes, he wants me to be strict with you. Comrade Zhiye, Lao Liang has high expectations of you!"

"In the past, you retired due to injury, which made Lao Liang sad for a long time. Later, when he learned that you had returned to the barracks, he was overjoyed. You didn't know all this, right?"

After hearing this, Liu Zhiye's eyes turned red and tears filled his eyes. He really didn't know this. After he returned to the army, he didn't take the initiative to contact the old leader and others. This was his fault.

Unexpectedly, as time went by, the old leader's thoughts were still on him. Looking back, it was this old leader who, when Liu Zhiye was in danger, ignored his personal influence and snatched him back from the hands of death. This kindness has lasted for a long time.

"Please rest assured, Chief, I will definitely not let you down."

…………

Minister Liao, despite being busy with work, still took time out to have an in-depth conversation with Liu Zhiye for an hour. After the meeting, he personally stood up and led Liu Zhiye to the door of his office. The two shook hands and said goodbye briefly and forcefully, showing their respect and friendship.

This admiration was noticed by some people who were interested in the matter. They began to speculate that this young colonel was a sacred figure in various circles to deserve such courtesy from Minister Liao.

Zou Ji'en was in the Personnel Department, and he was also shocked after making inquiries.

"Hiss! This guy seems to be quite someone! He has been promoted to colonel at such a young age, and he has a close relationship with Minister Liao. There must be something fishy going on."

Zou Jie'en's heart moved slightly, and he quickly locked onto Liu Zhiye's personal file and reviewed it meticulously.

It is said that Liu Zhiye stepped out of the threshold of the Political Department and then, under the guidance of Sergeant Ma, entered the dormitory building for new students.

In stark contrast to the junior military academy, the Advanced Military Command Academy is more particular about accommodation arrangements and implements a double dormitory system, with each dormitory accommodating only two students, creating an academic atmosphere that is both private and conducive to communication.

Liu Zhiye and the other person pushed open the door, instantly disturbing the student who had already arrived in the dormitory.

He was concentrating on folding a military green quilt. When he heard the sound, he turned his head out of curiosity and took a quick look.

Then, this person completely lost his composure.

"Are you Liu Zhiye?" the student blurted out in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

Liu Zhiye's expression froze for a moment when he heard this. Then he looked at the other person carefully and suddenly realized, "Ah! You are Captain Chen!"

"Hahahaha...that's me!"

Captain Chen and Liu Zhiye met again after a long separation. They hugged each other warmly. Liu Zhiye laughed heartily and said, "Captain Chen, it's been a long time. I've been thinking about you all the time! How is our old unit now?" His words revealed his nostalgia for the past years and his deep concern for his comrades.

Obviously, these two people are old acquaintances.

Captain Chen's name is Chen Zhe. He was the deputy commander of the 113th Regiment of the 335th Division, Liu Zhiye's old unit. Liu Zhiye was a battalion commander of the 338th Regiment. Both of them were old comrades in the same division.

"Hey, good guy, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have been promoted to colonel, and you are on par with an old man like me!" Chen Zhe glanced at the collar badge on Liu Zhiye's shoulder and couldn't help but blurt out, his tone full of surprise and admiration.
