Hello, Mr. Major General

The Christmas Eve in the imperial capital across the world this year was destined to be an extraordinary, restless, and even somewhat bloody night.

A Christmas dinner was being held at the home of General Jia, a high-ranking general in the imperial military.

They did not have such tacit regulations as foreign festivals, so this night was like New Year’s Eve for everyone.

He raised his wine glass, he said to his relatives, friends, and guests, “This year, with everyone’s help, we can make further progress! Drink this glass of wine, and next year, we will reach a new milestone!”

In the Imperial Army, he was a general second only to he chengjian. However, he chengjian had already arranged for his son, he zhichu, to take over. His position was originally just that.

However, he refused to accept it and refused to accept it for a long time.

It was just that his ability was limited. He could not defeat he chengjian, and his family’s foundation was not as powerful as the he family’s.

The foundation that the he family had laid two generations ago was too solid.

Fortunately, he chengjian’s death was not very glorious, so he was able to take the opportunity to unite a group of people who were dissatisfied with the He family.

Of course, more importantly, he had the support of the solo financial group in the United States. Whether it was public opinion or private deals, he had made ample preparations.

“General Jia, you’re right! Forget about general he, but I’m not convinced by that brat he zhichu! Why should the highest position be given to him? !”

“What does he want to do? ! Ever since his father passed away, he said that he was guarding the tomb and had disappeared!”

“I heard that he and his fiancée are secretly plotting to escape to a foreign country! HMPH! The Huaxia Empire’s highest commander actually wants to escape to a foreign country and seek the protection of the Soviet Union!”

“How embarrassing!”

In the spacious hall, Christmas jazz music was faintly discernible. There was also a female jazz musician on the stage, swaying her body and singing softly.

Just as everyone raised their glasses and drank together, vowing to “Share the good with the bad”, the door of the living room was kicked open with a bang.

A group of armed soldiers quickly took control of the front and back doors of the mansion.

The guards who were originally in the mansion were quickly disarmed and locked in a large warehouse that was used as a storage room.

“Which unit are you from? ! It’s illegal to break into a private house! Do you know what this place is? !”

General Jia’s personal secretary separated the crowd and walked over. He pointed at the leading soldier and reprimanded him rudely.

He Zhichu wore a black fox-fur cloak and knee-high military boots. With his hands behind his back, he walked in slowly.

Click, click, click.

The military boots on the marble floor rang unhurriedly, making everyone panic.

He stood at the entrance of the living room, his gaze disdainfully sweeping across everyone’s stunned faces. He said, “Are you already holding a grand celebration together?”

He looked at his watch and his voice was full of ridicule.”… Isn’t it a little too early? Isn’t the date of your uprising set to be January 1st, the day of the annual New Year Festival?”

“You, you, you… What did you say? ! What grand ceremony together… What Uprising?”

General Jia panicked.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the expressionless he zhichu standing in front of him, as if he saw the merciless he chengjian..

His mind buzzed and his hands trembled. “He… young master he, is there a misunderstanding?”

“Misunderstanding? It doesn’t exist.”He Zhichu waved his hand.

The huge television screen hanging on the wall of General Jia’s living room suddenly turned on.

The scene just now made them forget themselves. The faces of cursing he zhichu and he chengjian were all revealed.

General Jia’s expression changed again and again, and the sweat on his forehead dripped out. He did not bother to wipe it off and said in a stern tone, “You’re spying on me? ! He zhichu, you’re breaking the Law!”

“I have the authorization of the court martial. General Jia, you’re too close to the foreign consortia, so you must be effectively monitored.”

He Zhichu put his hands behind his back and looked at the few blond and blue-eyed foreign guests on the second floor.

“Nonsense! You arrested us because we were complaining about you just now! Major general he even wants to interfere with everyone’s complaints? ! What a great show of power!”

“Are you trying to cover up the sky with one hand? !”General Jia shouted in a threatening manner.

He Zhichu raised his hand, which was wearing black leather gloves, and covered his mouth as he laughed softly. “Why would I arrest you just because you said a few words of complaint?”

“Although I, he zhichu, do not agree with what you said, I will protect your right to speak with my life.”

General Jia raised his eyebrows.

He knew that he zhichu was not as hard-core as he chengjian. Furthermore, he was a law student and was deeply influenced by his mother, Qin Suwen. Everything was based on evidence.

In front of so many people, he said that he would not pursue what they said today, so he would definitely not pursue the matter.

General Jia secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he looked down on he zhichu. He felt that he zhichu had no guts.

How could such a person become the highest commander of the military?

He definitely could not!

He was about to speak, but he did not expect he zhichu to take out a few more court martial arrest warrants. He said calmly, “I’m here today to execute the court martial arrest warrants.”

As he said this, his expression changed and he said coldly, “Since all of you are gathered together today, it’s better that I don’t arrest them one by one! Take them away!”

He handed the arrest warrant to his subordinates and told them to arrest them.

The living room was in a mess.

The women and children were crying for their husbands and fathers, and the subordinates hurriedly covered for their superiors.

There were also people who called the police, and there were even a few older people who fainted.

He Zhichu was unmoved. He stood alone in the living room, watching as his guards controlled all the corridors and entrances.

“Don’t talk nonsense. If there’s anything, go to the court martial. We’re just following orders.”He Zhichu stepped aside and watched as his guards captured all the people on the arrest warrant.

Of course, with General Jia as the leader, the rest of the people were also in high positions in the military.

It could be said that four-sevenths of the people in the highest organization of the military were here.

“If you capture us, the other two people will not let you go!”General Jia shouted at the top of his voice.

“Don’t worry about it. My people have already gone to the other two houses to capture people.”He Zhichu’s eyes were slightly cold. “My father’s body is not even cold yet, and you guys are already colluding with foreign countries to plot a coup. You are really capable!”

“I didn’t expect you to be so cunning!”General Jia glared at He Zhichu. “A few days ago, you closed your door and refused visitors. Saying that you were going to guard your father’s grave was all a lie!”

He zhichu shrugged. “I’m going to deal with you guys and still need to lie? You think too highly of yourself.”

“Are you really guarding the grave? !”General Jia’s expression became even uglier.

If he zhichu was really guarding the tomb, but he could investigate their situation clearly, could it be that there were other big shots supporting him from behind?

He zhichu seemed to understand what he was thinking. He smiled slightly, and the pink next to his shimmering peach blossom eyes became even more obvious, more like dried blood.

He said nonchalantly, “Don’t you know what a multi-task is? I’m both guarding the tomb and investigating your situation. There’s no delay between the two.”

If he wanted to investigate these people, did he have to do it himself?

He just needed to strategize behind the scenes.

These old fellows wanted to seize his position, but they didn’t expect that there were younger generals who wanted these old fellows’positions..

He was able to crush the remaining six people’s plan to seize power in one fell swoop because of the support of the young men in the army.

These people were already old and belonged to his father’s generation.

Since his father, he chengjian, was no longer around, it was time for these people to leave.

He Zhichu walked out of the Hall of General Jia’s house and went to the camphor tree at the door. He took out a cigar and lit it. He took a deep breath.

He looked up at the night sky and thought to himself, Nianzhi, it’s Christmas Eve again. What are you doing?
