    Wang Geng glanced at the newly appointed commander of the 1st Regiment, Li Mingzhong, and smiled inwardly. The 1st Regiment had always been the main force, and this Li Mingzhong was almost the backbone of the generals after Feng Yuxiang was dismissed. He asked, "What's unclear about Commander Li?"

    "Sir! It is said that soldiers have to obey orders as their bounden duty, but what the rank and file cannot figure out is that former Brigadier Feng loved his soldiers like his own son and devoted himself to serving the country. What is the reason why the Ministry of War removed General Feng from the post of brigade commander! Could it be that?  Is it also a crime to go to the War Department to ask for back pay?¡±

    Li Mingzhong looked upright with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He obviously wanted to seek justice for Lao Feng. When this guy asked this question, all the generals below immediately started shouting and clamoring for an explanation from Mr. Wang!  Otherwise, the brothers will not accept it, and even the platoon leaders and soldiers below will not accept it. They have been owed wages for so long, and they will mutiny if they cannot keep it!

    Wang Geng thought to himself, Damn, am I so scared that I dare to get together in a group and become aggressive? You don¡¯t take me as the new brigade commander seriously, right?  Open your mouth, sir, keep your mouth shut, sir, don't you admit that I am your brigade commander?

    "Quiet!" Wang Geng knocked on the table lightly, his voice was not loud but full of force. The word "quiet" seemed to be ringing in everyone's ears. The hustle and bustle finally calmed down, and the generals looked at each other and paid attention.  Wang Geng, I want to see what this guy says!

    "Since I am the brigade commander, I am your commander. When speaking in front of the commander, you must raise your hand to report. No one is allowed to speak without permission! Unless the commander asks a question or the commander allows you to speak, please keep your mouth shut.  Mouth! Could it be that you, Mr. Feng, were so disrespectful when you spoke before?"

    Wang Geng didn¡¯t speak hastily or slowly, but his eyes scanned everything sharply.

    "It depends on what kind of officer he is. Mr. Feng and his brothers have worked hard together for many years. Of course we respect him and respect him. If he is just a dandy who went to the back door to do errands, am I afraid of you?"  No, it doesn¡¯t matter if I, Song Zheyuan, am not the battalion commander!¡±

    The person who jumped out was Song Zheyuan. Feng Yuxiang was very dear to him. It was the time when he was about to show off his grand ambitions, but he was suddenly dismissed from his post. The evil fire in this guy's heart couldn't be suppressed at all. At this moment, he jumped out and killed Wang.  Geng is the new brigade commander's army. This is Langfang anyway. What should Wang Geng be afraid of when he takes office with only one adjutant and two guards?

    So what if I offend you? The worst I can do is take off my military uniform and go to Tiantai Mountain to farm with Mr. Feng!

    Although Song Zheyuan jumped out with such a disrespectful provocation, the other generals were silent for the time being. It was obvious that they wanted to see how Wang Geng would respond. Lao Feng and his subordinates were united around Lao Feng, but that did not mean that these subordinates were united around Lao Feng.  They are so humble and united among themselves.

    Song Zheyuan was just a battalion commander at this time. Because he had Lao Feng's favor, he usually didn't pay attention to several regiment commanders, so there were more than one or two people waiting to see his excitement.

    "Battle Commander Song, what I just talked about is the discipline during meetings. I don't care what you think of me personally, but you spoke in the conference room without permission and made rude remarks to Shangguan without evidence. Since you don't care about the soldiers'  Honor and discipline, if you want to be the first warrior to eat crabs, then I will help you!¡±

    Wang Geng smiled coldly and turned around and said, "Shi Jingting, you are a military judge. You knowingly violated meeting discipline and spoke rudely to an officer. How should you deal with it according to military law?"

    "You can be put in solitary confinement, beaten with a military stick, or even dismissed!" Colonel Military Judge Shi Jingting said dryly.  This guy is considered a veteran in the army, and he has always been a bit unfavorable to Song Zheyuan's arrogance, so he replied.

    "This punishment is too simple. From now on, we will add another one. If you violate the discipline of reporting first and speaking later, you will be given a demerit for the first time and will be fined to clean the toilet for a week. The second time will be given a major demerit and you will be fined to clean the toilet for a month!"

    Wang Geng said expressionlessly, but his eyes were fierce and he was fighting with the anger in Song Zheyuan's eyes without showing any signs of weakness!

    "What if it's the third time?" Shi Jingting ignored the generals below who were suppressing laughter and asked Wang Geng while writing in his notebook.

    "It doesn't matter three things, I will be removed immediately for the third time! Such a glorious unit as the 16th Mixed Brigade has absolutely no need for so-called warriors who can't even abide by the most basic disciplines!" Wang Geng said decisively!

    "I don't accept it! You are taking revenge for personal gain!" Song Zheyuan said with a frown. If Wang Geng hadn't ordered all the officers who entered the conference room to take off their guns and hand them to the guards outside the door for safekeeping, this guy would have pulled out his guns.  Come to threaten Wang Geng!

    "Battle Commander Song, you didn't report and get permission before speaking. Now you have to clean the toilet for a month. Of course, if you want to come again for the third time, then please find another job. The 16th Mixed Brigade does not need you.  Such a black sheep!¡±

    Song Zheyuan blushed and wanted to yell, but Liu Yufen behind him covered his mouth and pressed him down. The man lowered his voice and said in Song Zheyuan's ear, "Be safe."Don't be impatient!  This brigade commander has a good background, and the adjutant behind him is the nephew of the deputy commander of the army!  Let's see what he says!  "

    In fact, Wang Geng's so-called punishment was to clean the toilet. This seemingly child's play punishment unknowingly reduced the anger and hostility in the hearts of many generals present. If Wang Geng said to drag Song Zheyuan out and beat him with thirty army sticks,  , I am afraid that more than half of the people will stand up to plead for mercy. At this moment, they are actually cleaning the toilet. Some of the guys who usually dislike Lao Song are gloating and snickering.

    "I don't know why Mr. Feng was dismissed from the Ministry of War. It's just that he offended some people who shouldn't have been offended, and there will be a price to pay. I hope Mr. Feng can learn a lesson and know when to say something and under what conditions.  Whatever he does next, I hope he can come back to you as soon as possible!"

    Wang Geng still spoke in a leisurely tone, "I punished Song Zheyuan not because he was disrespectful to me personally, but because he was disrespectful to the superior. Of course, he said without any evidence that I was a dandy who worked through the back door.  At the very least, it¡¯s spreading rumors and causing trouble; at the most serious level, it¡¯s slandering Shangguan!¡±

    The conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. It was obvious that Wang Geng held his slate high, but cleaning the toilet could only be regarded as a gentle blow. A young and handsome brigade commander who behaved so strangely was asked to do so.  It's not easy to make people hate him all of a sudden.

    Wang Geng glanced at the generals and continued,

    "If you follow me, I have no intention of becoming your brigade commander. Just like you, Mr. Feng, I also want to lead an army of my own soldiers. The job of commander of the 16th mixed brigade was given to me by Premier Duan.  I didn¡¯t want to take on the burden originally!¡±

    Hearing this, the generals in the conference room began to whisper and buzz again. Fortunately, with Song Zheyuan's example, no one dared to speak loudly anymore!

    Wang Geng is obviously very satisfied that the generals have finally begun to know how to abide by the first discipline he set.

    Of course, it¡¯s hard to say how long this group of arrogant and hard-working guys can hold on. If their guns weren¡¯t taken away before entering the conference room, their tempers might not be so good right now!

    "I, Wang Geng, did not get the position of brigade commander through the back door, nor am I a playboy from the world. My parents died when I was young, and my family fell into poverty. I was admitted to the Tsinghua School of Study Abroad with the support of my relatives!"

    Wang Geng paused for a moment and glanced at the generals. It was obvious that everyone was waiting for him to speak quickly, and then he said again,

    ¡°When I graduated from Tsinghua Academy, I was ranked first in my class. When I went to the United States to study at university, I was still ranked first in my class when I graduated from Princeton University¡¯s School of Liberal Arts. At the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, I was also ranked first in my class for two consecutive years, so I was messing around.  These two accusations of being a playboy are beyond my reach!"

    The buzz among the generals became louder. Obviously, Wang Geng¡¯s academic performance and qualifications made the generals here think he was a playboy. I don¡¯t know, but he definitely couldn¡¯t get along with the gangsters. Song Zheyuan deserved to clean the toilet for talking nonsense!

    "Report! I request to speak!" Zhang Shusheng, leader of the 3rd Regiment, raised his hands honestly.

    "Commander Zhang, please speak!" Wang Geng showed a slight smile on his face.

    "Mr. Feng went to the Army Ministry to ask for pay for the livelihood of the brothers in the 16th Mixed Brigade, and yet he was dismissed! What did Mr. Feng do wrong? The officers and soldiers of our 16th Mixed Brigade can't figure it out!" Zhang Shu said angrily.

    "No matter whether you are right or wrong, you must first look for the reasons within yourself. There are so many divisions and mixed brigades in the CSKA, why did the Dudu 16 mixed brigades owe their pay for so long?! Why are other division commanders and brigade commanders not being paid when they ask for pay?  Removal?"

    Although Wang Geng¡¯s words were light, they were like a stone thrown into a pond, causing endless ripples in the hearts of the generals!
