Chapter 231: Counterattack List

As soon as Zhao Li said something, Song Cianming's eyes, which had just been slightly closed, suddenly opened. The light emitted from his eyes was even more palpitations than when the principal deliberately showed it.

"There is no need to be so fussy!" Zhao Li of course felt the changes in Song Ciming and said relaxedly: "I am not a politician, I am just a soldier. I think we should be consistent in our views on certain things."

"Zhao Li, I don't want to influence your thoughts." Kang Hongyuan sat on Zhao Li's seat and looked at the two guys on the sofa who were emitting the same evil spirits, who could be said to be pure soldiers: "But, I hope you can think about this matter carefully."

"There are two retired former military commanders, one active general commander of the military region, four lieutenant generals, sixteen major generals, almost ten senior officials at the government department, and countless other subordinate officers. Once you want to move them, you will bear unprecedented pressure." Kang Hongyuan was very dissatisfied with Zhao Li's choice: "Although your evidence is sufficient, many of the evidence are illegal in obtaining it, and these evidences will not be adopted in the verdict. Even if you act, you can only find some scapegoats and cannot truly shake the commanders behind the scenes."

"I know." Zhao Li closed his eyes, put his head on the back of the sofa, and answered very simply.

"Many people are just involved, but even if the evidence is conclusive, they cannot be killed. They can be imprisoned for a few years at most." Kang Hongyuan was indeed thinking about Zhao Li at this time: "If you don't kill a snake, there will be endless troubles. If all these people are targeting you, will you think about the consequences?"

Zhao Li lay on the back of the sofa without saying a word. Kang Hongyuan also knew that Zhao Li must be listening and thinking seriously. He paused for a moment, giving Zhao Li a space to think before continuing.

"If the power of these people is added to the power behind them, it will be a terrifying force. Not only you, but also General Lucas and General Thomas, may not dare to bear such heavy pressure." Kang Hongyuan continued to inspire his fair share of words and tried to convince Zhao Li: "If these evidences can be used to turn them into their own people, it will be a more acceptable thing for anyone."

"Will people who are coerced show enough loyalty?" Zhao Li still did not open his eyes, but was still debating with Kang Hongyuan.

Song Cianming has not spoken since Zhao Li made his decision just now. He had shown some excitement before, but now he simply learns from Zhao Li. He leans his head against the back of the sofa, and the two of them have the same posture and expression.

"There is no eternal thing." Kang Hongyuan seized the opportunity to educate Zhao Li: "At any time, what is dominated is interests. As long as there is enough interests, you can pay the price you want, even the commander and commander of the military region can win over and buy it. It is not realistic to expect that you will have enough loyalty under coercion."

"Can I understand this way?" Zhao Li was silent for a while. After thinking for a while, then slowly spoke: "The prison I was in charge was robbed by them. Not only did they rob all the prisoners, but they also killed all their colleagues. Even myself, I almost died and had to bear suspicion from the above. I was exiled and assassinated. However, in order not to bear the pressure and to be able to take this power to my own use, I also had to accept them very generously and use appropriate interests to win them over at the right time. Is this what I mean?"

"It's not that you don't understand these things, it's just that you don't want to." Kang Hongyuan heard a hint of reluctance from Zhao Li's tone. After all, anyone who has experienced such hardships in Zhao Li will inevitably feel imbalance in his heart. However, this seems extremely naive to a qualified politician. The more serious it is that he ignores the overall situation, is short-sighted, and knows how to be a human being.

"Yes, I understand this." Zhao Li himself admitted it. In fact, in the past few years of Jin Wuxing, even in prison, Zhao Li was taught these things systematically by Kang Hongyuan. His understanding was not bad, but he was not willing to make that choice.

"Take a step back, all of this they did was directed at me. I was robbed of prison and robbed me, but I would never have a chance to turn over." Kang Hongyuan continued to trick Zhao Li into changing his mind. "As the person involved, I don't want to pursue it too much. You are just a fish that has been affected, so you shouldn't be such an extreme, right?"

This is already a very euphemistic statement. Although it is a bit unacceptable, all of this is true. Zhao Li is not a fool, and Song Ciming is not a fool, so they are naturally very clear.

"Old Song, tell me!" Zhao Li didn't move his body, maintaining his posture just now, but just touched Song Cianming beside him with his elbow and asked him to express his opinion.

"I am a soldier and execute orders. I don't want to say anything else." Song Ciming never added any pressure to Zhao Li at this time, nor did he dispel him. He just threw all the problems back to Zhao Li. Moreover, it is very clear that as long as Zhao Li's decision, he would execute it, just like executing an order.

However, Song Ciming's dialect reminded Zhao Li. He stood up from the sofa, Zhao Li sat upright, thought for a while, and asked Song Ciming: "Old Song, how many of these people who participated were purely executing orders?" All those involved were soldiers. If they didn't know what they were going to do and just executed the orders of their superiors, it would be a bit too much to say that they were plotting to rob the prison.

"At least 90% of the soldiers involved were executed." Song Cianming seemed to have thought about this a long time ago. When Zhao Li asked him, he had no intention of thinking about it and answered it directly. He was a soldier, and even thought about it when he was robbed in prison. In that prison, the professional qualities shown by those prisoners would never be ordinary terrorist organizations, but definitely real soldiers.

What's even more sad is that these people probably don't know what they are going to do, or they just received an order to forcibly break through the prison controlled by terrorists and rescue the hostages that were taken. Moreover, these terrorists were very cunning, all of them were made up like prison guards, etc.

After all, not everyone can know the information about that high-level prison, and even the name and location of the prison cannot be found in ordinary information. What is more likely is that in the military intelligence query system, that place may be a desert with nothing at all. Who can tell this accurately?

The purpose of truly understanding this mission is strictly speaking, at most, those planning politicians and several senior military officials who colluded with the politicians. With the order, whether it was the dispatch of warships or the relevant units covering up these traces of passing, they were just faithfully executed the order.

Song Citong reminded Zhao Li at the same time, and also reminded Kang Hongyuan: "You are right. The real mastermind behind the scenes is only those few people, and you don't need to target everyone."

This seems to be a reason that Zhao Li can accept, but he still raised objections in some aspects: "Those who take specific actions. I mean, those who directly participate in the attack may have insiders."

"But we can't judge." Kang Hongyuan shook his head. He really didn't want Zhao Li to do too much. He offended these many people. This was not only a pressure on Zhao Li, but also on Kang Hongyuan. The two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and no one can escape from each other.

"Among these suspects, many of them have an anonymous account, which contains a huge amount of money that is extremely high compared to their income, and many of them are concentrated in the same period of retirement." Zhao Li was prepared for a long time. Although these anonymous accounts cannot enter the court as direct evidence, as long as Zhao Li knows that it is these people. He is a direct witness, this is more effective than any evidence.

"These people cannot be let go!" As long as we do not offend a huge group of powerful people, Kang Hongyuan will try every means to calm Zhao Li's anger.

Song Ciming did not have much opinion. He had already said that all the reports should be investigated and reported. Based on this information, Zhao Li asked Song Ciming to come up with a more specific list. For this reason, Zhao Li even took out the information that Ban Yunchan found for him.

It is very convenient for people in the military to deal with it. After all, Zhao Li is now the director of the Special Investigation Department. He has the authority to summon or detain certain suspects in the name of investigation. Even if they have retired, they cannot escape. But the problem now is that there are still more than a dozen big bosses in the political circle, and they are now all influential figures in the political arena. These people do not seem to be so active.

Kang Hongyuan is more skilled in handling such things. Originally, according to his plan, these people could be taken under his command. There was conclusive evidence that several of them had planned the prison robbery, and their situation was already very passive. At this time, Kang Hongyuan could easily conquer them.

The combined energy of these people is even more considerable than the forces in the army, at least in Kang Hongyuan's eyes. It is far less cost-effective to destroy these people than to turn enemies into friends.

However, Zhao Li did not think so. Although Kang Hongyuan kept instilling the political opposition and unity of political enemies in Zhao Li, Zhao Li was never moved. In Zhao Li's view, even if he was a political enemy, he could grasp the other party's shortcomings, attack the other party's illegal behavior, or even attack some inappropriate manifestations in public places. However, after rising to the point where he wanted to use such illegal means, it was no longer a political struggle in the pure sense.

The dilemma is that no matter how long Zhao Li's hands are, it is impossible to extend from the military to the political arena. Things in the political arena still need to be handled criminally. If Zhao Li insists on dealing with these people, he must go through such procedures.

"If you go through a criminal case, these people will probably be completely punished." Kang Hongyuan was too clear about the twists and turns here. Because he was too clear, he understood the difficulty more clearly. If he wanted to deal with these people, it was definitely not something that Zhao Li could do by throwing out evidence: "Many of the evidence here was obtained illegally. Once the court did not accept it, all the accusations would be rejected because of insufficient evidence."

"I understand!" Zhao Li nodded and paid special attention to Kang Hongyuan's warning.

Song Ciming did not ask Zhao Li to wait for a long time, and soon a list of investigations combined with Song Ciming and Ban Yunchan was sent to Zhao Li.

This list eliminates most of the low-level officers and soldiers who handled these matters. Apart from a few senior officers, there are only the group of guys who were suspected by Zhao Li to retire almost at the same time. However, the list in politics is still listed. Whether these people will be included in the list needs to be decided by Kang Hongyuan.

"Lao Kang, are your previous performances too gentle?" Zhao Li was very dissatisfied with Kang Hongyuan's surgery on the list in politics: "If you have always been tough, I believe that no one dares to frame you like this at the risk of offending you."

"Indeed, I'm not very tough." Kang Hongyuan nodded and admitted this: "Are you worried that I will let these guys go easily? There is no need to do it. I'm just thinking about which one can completely pull my command." For Kang Hongyuan, being ruthless is not a problem. He is not much softer than Zhao Li when making a decision.

"Zhao Li, the list is easy to say, but you have to understand that once you start to take action, you will never be able to turn back." Kang Hongyuan put the list in his hand and reminded Zhao Li again: "You must think about it completely offend at least three military commanders."

"Even if I don't do it, will they have any good feelings for me?" Zhao Li reached out to take the list from Kang Hongyuan and looked at Kang Hongyuan very seriously.

"Okay!" Kang Hongyuan sighed and nodded at Zhao Li. Although he had never seen the factional struggles in the army with his own eyes, he could imagine: "Since you want to take action, don't give them another chance to get them back!"

"Don't worry, the two generals Thomas and Lucas will probably be happy to see this list." Zhao Li also nodded and assured Kang Hongyuan.

"By the way, I have to ask another question." Kang Hongyuan seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned back to ask Zhao Li: "What would you do if those senior government officials, if the court judged the evidence and dismissed the prosecution?"

"It's better not to happen like this." Zhao Li seemed to think about these things seriously: "I will warn them that it's better to plead guilty in court."

"What if they are determined not to admit their guilt?" Kang Hongyuan became interested and stared at Zhao Li with great interest.
