Chapter three hundred and twentieth eight things happened for a reason
Chapter 328: There is a reason for this
At this time, Colonel Jack realized that he had been the editor-in-chief of the media for a long time and often, he had forgotten some of the most basic things in the army.
However, Colonel Jack soon thought of another question. Although he published the report without the consent of the military commander, after the draft was completed, it was still reviewed by the Military Region Propaganda Department. What does this mean?
"Is there any military secret involved?" Colonel Jack asked this and knew that his question was really redundant, and it involved the appointment and removal of a military commander by the Supreme Command. It would be strange if there was no military secret in it.
Sure enough, the interrogator did not respond to this question at all, but just sneered. It would be strange if an editor-in-chief of a military newspaper with the rank of colonel and did not understand what happened here!
"My report was reviewed by the Military Region Propaganda Department." Colonel Jack finally realized from the words "Military Secret" that he might have bumped into a big iron plate this time. He wanted to deal with a military newspaper editor. Not to mention just a colonel, even a general, no one could escape. At this time, he could only try his best to pick himself out. As for his idea of success, he had long since left somewhere.
"After review?" The interrogator immediately realized the meaning behind this and seemed to have started to speak a little quickly. It was originally just a simple incident of venting anger to solve the problem, but suddenly it became another nature because of this sentence. A small editor-in-chief of the military newspaper would at most order to review and restore reputation in the military newspaper, but it would be another matter if it involved the subsequent review of the Military Region Propaganda Department.
"Is there any definite evidence to prove it?" Or this sentence. As long as there is evidence, it is to investigate the responsibility of the Propaganda Department, not an editor-in-chief.
"Yes!" Hearing this question, Colonel Jack suddenly realized that this was a turning point for him and immediately admitted it. As long as this matter can be explained clearly, the responsibility will not be on him. Therefore, he cooperated abnormally when speaking: "There should be records in the electronic system for content review, and I also left print drafts and videos at that time."
This is a good chess that can survive in a desperate situation. Colonel Jack certainly wants to keep some memorable things. Therefore, he must retain the review opinions of the Propaganda Department. Not only did he print them out, but he also took the video to keep it.
"Where are the print drafts and videos saved?" The interrogator's first reaction is the print drafts and videos. According to his experience, if there is really a problem here, the records in the review electronic system will definitely be tampered with or deleted immediately.
"The print-in is in my office, and the video is in my house!" The interrogator's urgent inquiry also made Colonel Jack realize that the situation was serious, and immediately answered quickly, and attached his home address and storage location.
Then, Colonel Jack found that no one questioned him again, and he was quickly transferred to a single room with at least four military police standing guard at the door. The military police told him that this was to protect him.
The gendarmes quickly searched Colonel Jack's office and checked the contents of the electronic review system. As expected, all records in the electronic system have been deleted, and the print drafts in Colonel Jack's office have disappeared. Whether it has been printed can be found from the electronic system, so it is not surprising that the print draft is lost.
What made the head of the Interior Department happy was that the videos saved in Colonel Jack's home were intact. Maybe no one had thought that someone would record these things into videos, so he did not search Colonel Jack's home. The video was very clear, and there were several photos taken by Colonel Jack with a high-definition camera.
The same situation also happened to several other military newspaper editors. However, they did not have the good luck as Colonel Jack. Although they all said that they had been reviewed by the Propaganda Department, no one could provide obvious evidence and could not prove it.
In theory, all articles published in the Military Daily should be reviewed by the local military region's propaganda department before they can be reported. This is beyond doubt. However, there is also an exception. In some major news events, such as sudden wars, first-level combat readiness, etc., the editor-in-chief allows himself to make his own decisions and then declare them at the same time.
These editors are unlucky because they are unable to leave evidence. In fact, all the declaration records, including Colonel Jack, have been changed to the situation where they apply wartime special cases and then declare afterwards. Moreover, data from the electronic system shows that their declaration forms have not been approved yet.
Without Colonel Jack's video and a few photos, the tone of the whole thing could be defined as several editors looking after the military's confidentiality regulations and media control regulations, and circulating information that is unfavorable to the military without authorization. With this alone, several editors can be sent directly to the military court.
Fortunately, Colonel Jack took this video and photos to preserve the traces of his success and fame, which changed the tone of the definition of the entire case.
This kind of case of large-scale tampering with the direction of media reports in the military is not big, but it is absolutely not small. Today, someone can tamper with the review records at will, and tomorrow, someone may immediately release the news that the current Supreme Command personnel resigned. If you give some inaccurate news during the war, it will be enough to eliminate the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the rear, or even have serious consequences, and you may choose to surrender under a wrong public report.
After discovering this, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to be proficient and sent the preliminary information and possible judgments to the Supreme Command. After receiving this information, the top military leaders were furious. The Command directly anxious all the commanders of the military region and held a high-level meeting. Zhao Li's current identity also allowed him to attend the meeting.
The content of the meeting was to inform the matter. General Cleveland, who directly investigated the case, was also praised for discovering this major hidden danger in a timely manner. Of course, if you want to make further contributions, it is not enough to just discover it, and you still need to find out the mastermind behind the entire incident.
This result was unexpected by Zhao Li and General Lucas. However, General Cleveland became the biggest contributor here because of General Lucas' indirect reminder, and his attitude towards General Lucas and Zhao Li was much more relaxed. Even after the meeting, he immediately contacted General Lucas and expressed his gratitude to him.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that this old guy would accidentally make a bad thing, and the bad thing turned into a good thing." General Lucas became more and more angry as he thought about it. The thing that should have fallen on him, if it weren't for Zhao Li's suggestion, he might have been informed.
"General, it may not be that easy to deal with when it comes to saying it is a good thing." Zhao Li knew the general's depression, and this matter was closely related to Zhao Li. Zhao Li was responsible for persuading the general: "It is a blessing to have a loss of power, and many good and bad things are unpredictable!"
"That's true, but I'm just unwilling to give him a credit for nothing." General Lucas was very powerful, so why was he really disappointed for a small credit? It's just a pity. Zhao Li said this and he was just a little bit of a mess: "It seems that we should also thoroughly investigate the personnel within the military region. On the contrary, your Bainiao Military Region has nothing, so there is no need to be such trouble."
There was a case where a general asked his subordinates to do things, but his subordinates betrayed the general. Zhao Li's card that should have been an anonymous account but turned into a secret account is proof of this. Although several people in charge were found at that time, it was difficult to ensure that others did not have such thoughts.
Although the other military regions were involved in this accident, there was no guarantee that there would be no problem here. A thorough investigation is definitely necessary. Such a force is hidden inside the military and is simply a time bomb. Who knows when the military will be detonated by these bombs?
There may be two reasons for such big mistakes in the media's electronic audit system. One is that there are problems with the electronic system itself, and the security is no longer enough to support the internal audit process of the military media. The other is that there are problems with the operators. No matter which aspect there is a problem, it is not a good thing for the military.
If it is a problem with the electronic system, then in addition to this media review system, will other command systems also have the same problems that can be exploited? This is a big deal. The technical information of the entire military, including top-secret files, is supported by various electronic systems. If a problem arises, it will be a disaster.
Relatively speaking, it is a blessing to have problems with several personnel. However, the final review authority for reviewing the content published by the media is in the hands of the ministers in charge of propaganda in each military region, and this minister is almost all rank of lieutenant generals. A few disobedient media involved several lieutenant generals, which seemed extremely abnormal.
Moreover, as editor-in-chief, so many editors have discovered the same problem at the same time and have unusual views. It is obvious that this is impossible. After detailed inquiry, the instigators around them will definitely show their strength, which is also a clue to the investigation.
The investigation must continue. It is impossible to detain all the lieutenant generals directly with one review authority. It can only be a secret cooperation in the investigation, which will take a long time. However, one thing is more anxious, that is, quickly erase the doubts about Zhao Li's appointment from the military media.
This is quite simple to do. After receiving some education and seeing the records of the review materials they reported, they all understood that there must be a deeper reason behind this matter. Except for a stubborn guy who never repents, everyone else followed the instructions, changed their previous tone and admitted their mistakes in understanding the matter. As for the stubborn guy, they were sent to the Minister of the Interior.
"I don't think the media is wrong in this matter." Editor-in-chief Richard is also a colonel, but he seems to have no concern about whether his actions should be within the military. He insists on his own point of view: "There must be a problem here. A young major general acts as the commander of the military region. There must be a shady story here. Don't use military secrets to suppress me!"
"It is obvious that someone is behind the scenes. Colonel Richard, you won't even realize this, right?" The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs frowned, and was very puzzled by the fact that such a nerd who read books could achieve such a position.
"I only ask to see the truth!" Colonel Richard insisted: "Even if someone is instigated, there must be problems here that such a thing will happen. The army cannot be affected by such a power that covers the sky, and I ask to see the truth!"
"Sorry, your level is not enough to view relevant confidential files." The Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly rejected Colonel Richard's request: "If you still have to stick to your point of view, we can only give you two options. First, remove your position as editor-in-chief and expel your military; second, you are allowed to read confidential files, but you will be arrested and tried for the charge of spying on and leaking military secrets. You can choose for yourself!"
"I choose the second one." Colonel Richard is also a donkey-tempered guy who is unhappy in the Yellow River. He made a choice without thinking.
After some advice, Colonel Richard was taken to a closed room, the commander of the military district where he was located, and he would be responsible for explaining to Colonel Richard.
"The commander-in-chief appointed General Zhao Li as the acting commander of the military region, and it was carefully considered." The general also knew his choice and shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, I can't help you in this matter."
"I just need to know the truth!" Colonel Richard still had this attitude towards his immediate boss. He was determined to eat the weight.
"You have judged whether this appointment is reasonable after reading General Zhao Li's resume." After the general said that, he began to open a file for Richard to take a look.
The highest level of the military prison warden.
The first person to discover and retain virus samples on the battlefield of the disabled virus.
Intelligence provider of annihilated transport fleet of rebels.
Two hundred soldiers on the edge planet blocked more than 5,000 enemies and annihilated commanders of more than 4,000 enemies.
Commander and plan implementer of the rescue airborne regiment.
The Fringe Planet Recovery Commander.
The person who solved the prison robbery case.
Elf Planet Discoverer.
White Bird Military District Rebellion Discoverer.
Genetically modified criminal group discoverer.
The commander and plan implementer of the beheading operation of the White Bird Military Region Rebellion Group Command.
Two first-level Red Star Medal winners.
A series of archives show that all Zhao Li's achievements were obtained in real terms on the battlefield and on other jobs, and there was no falsehood in them.
Colonel Richard looked at Zhao Li's resume and couldn't help but tremble. He finally knew why the Supreme Command appointed Zhao Li as the acting commander of the military region, and why Zhao Li's resume was a senior military secret.
He also has a concept of the highest level prisons, disability viruses, and marginal planets mentioned in his resume, but he doesn't know what the genetic modification, the Elf Planet, and the rebellion of the White Bird Military Region are. This is obviously the reason for keeping it confidential.
