Chapter 675, Internal Conflict

What Qin Zhiping said was all from his heart.

He also fully understood what these people were thinking.

The Northern Front Corps was defeated, and then the remnants were incorporated into the Southern Front Corps. In the end, the war was won. What benefit did they get?

Hardly.

The best they could get was to be distributed according to their military merits, and they had to bear the responsibility for the previous defeat. After this reduction, I am afraid there would be nothing left.

But if they could "rebuild" the Northern Front Corps, it would be different.

Although the previous defeat was still an indelible stain, they were not completely annihilated, but became an independent army, and played a vital role in the subsequent war. When it comes to rewarding merits in the end, as an independent front army, they will definitely have many more benefits than the remnants of the defeated army.

But the only problem is: Can they still win the war if they engage in internal strife before the war and have many little tricks in their hearts?

Now, they are already remnants of the army, and they are still doing this kind of mess, which really makes Qin Zhiping feel sick.

He sincerely believed that the previous defeat of the North Line Corps was due to insufficient organization, lack of unity, and too many half-hearted people.

Otherwise, if they had really held on to the end and fought with all their strength, the North Line Corps would not necessarily collapse and fail in the naval battle.

At least they would not lose so miserably.

To put it bluntly, it was purely deserved to be in this state.

How could they beat the bugs with this bunch of bugs?

If they wanted to win and wash away the shame of defeat, they should obey the orders of Commander-in-Chief Gu and fight well under the command of the alliance army.

Qin Zhiping highly respected Gu Hang.

Earlier, he heard many rumors, especially Marshal Leroy's evaluation of Gu Hang at the "Swearing-in Ceremony", which made him actually not very interested in Gu Hang.

Even malicious.

After all, the Tiekai they came to beat this time was a series of problems developed by local separatist forces. Although Commander-in-Chief Gu was a friendly army fighting side by side with them on the southern front, this did not change the fact that Gu Hang's so-called "alliance" had a strong background of local separatist forces.

Moreover, if the alliance had not developed too recently and was not strong enough in the early days, they would be more suspicious than Iron Armor.

This is Qin Zhiping's view from the perspective of his own duties as an inquisitor.

Iron Armor is a warband after all, and has natural power in the political environment and political conventions of the empire. The warband's home planet is theirs; they have high command authority and can take over the command of various imperial armies in various battles without other space warriors. In addition, in the name of fighting against a "void black hole", it is quite reasonable for them to expand and develop.

The rationality of the alliance is much smaller.

As an inquisitor, from a professional perspective, he would naturally be full of doubts about such situations.

But now, he does not have these views.

The alliance saved his and his men's lives, but that was not the key factor. More importantly, the nature of this behavior can be interpreted as Gu Hang not caring so much about personal honor and disgrace, and not minding the previous bad relationship with the North Line Corps. He will act for the ultimate goal of the victory of the empire and the victory of mankind.

How loyal!

In addition, after being rescued, he has been in the Alliance Army for several months and can see a lot of things.

He believes that Gu Hang is very loyal; Gu Hang's management and rule of the Alliance, at least in terms of the army, is perfect and reliable, better than any other army he has seen with his own eyes; in the Alliance Army, as a judge, he has not found any corruption problems...

Compared with the North Line Corps, which originally had no subordinate relationship and were forced together, the Alliance is much more reliable.

There may be no difference when fighting a favorable battle, but when it comes to adverse winds and you need to grit your teeth and persevere, the gap will come out.

Now, Qin Zhiping believes that to win the battle, you have to follow the Alliance and follow Commander-in-Chief Gu.

This bunch of trash now wants to push Xi Rui out to make trouble, which is directly stepping on Qin Zhiping's bottom line.

Let's do it!

If it were only those bugs, Qin Zhiping would not even want to waste time talking to them, and would directly report to Gu Hang, and then make a suggestion: arrest all these people, and then he can have a good talk with the deputies and middle-level officers under them. Those who are not loyal can be dealt with; the remaining wavering ones, he can also make them more loyal. Then, the alliance can send some middle and senior officers to take over these troops.

However, there is the biggest variable and the most difficult person here, that is the Marshal of the Black Crusade-Xi Rui.

If he was not now also dependent on others and on Xi Rui's ship, he could scold Xi Rui as well.

But isn't this impossible?

He also has to worry about whether Xi Rui has arranged three hundred swordsmen and axemen next to him, waiting for the signal of breaking the cup, and coming in to deal with him.

Then everything will be over.

No matter what, Xi Rui would not kill him, but he would just imprison him, and then use his identity as the "Northern Commander-in-Chief" to play the role of the backbone, to create division, to establish an independent command system outside the alliance, and to be on an equal footing with the alliance...

That is still possible to succeed.

He had no doubt that the final winner would definitely be Commander-in-Chief Gu, who he had observed for some time and felt was very powerful. However, before the war, internal unrest was definitely not a good thing.

He wanted to stop all this, and the key figure here was Xi Rui himself.

His previous exhortation was more of an exhortation to Xi Rui than to everyone else.

"The course of the war is now a fait accompli. But failure is not terrible, but after failure, further disgrace is more terrible. Once a situation that none of us want to happen occurs, it may affect not only ourselves, but also everything behind us."

His words already had a warning meaning, just short of saying: Xi Rui, if you do it without a clear mind, in the end, not only you will be unlucky, but also the entire Black Crusaders.

He believed that Xi Rui could understand.

At this moment, Xi Rui sighed and shook his head, ignoring Qin Zhiping, and said to the others in the communication: "Do you all want me to stand up and talk to Gu Hang about the unified and independent command and operation of the Northern Front Corps?"

"Yes."

Many people responded.

"I object!" Qin Zhiping's pale voice beside him seemed very isolated.

"That's it." Xi Rui said, "I'll think about it, and you guys should all be prepared."

After that, he closed the communication.

Turning around, facing Qin Zhiping.

Qin Zhiping had already taken out his plasma pistol.
