Chapter 552 Fatal Disaster
Song Ziming's speech was brief, neither denying nor acknowledging the public accusations against him.
It simply admitted that soldiers under the Veterans Association attacked poor villages and apologized for it.
Later, he publicly resigned as president of the Veterans Association.
Not long after the live broadcast ended, the Veterans Association sent a communication request to Liu Cheng and the others.
It was sent by Song Ziming himself.
After connecting to the communication, Song Ziming said:
"You must have read the reports about the general situation here."
Liu Cheng and others nodded, and he asked:
"Captain Song, what's going on?
Is it true that your team members attacked civilians? "
Song Ziming nodded and explained:
"It's true.
Due to our excellent record in the Blackstone Kingdom, many veterans joined us after we arrived in the new star field.
Our Veterans Association has attracted many new members.
Maybe I had too much trust in the character of these veterans, and due to the negligent management of personnel expansion, my subordinates did bad things that harmed civilians.
As for the scandals about me that emerged later, they were false. "
Liu Cheng nodded and replied:
“In other words, this thing was done by a newcomer who just joined the Veterans Association?
Those people are afraid that they are targeting you, so they will take this approach.
Captain Song, by resigning as the president of the Veterans Association, aren't you playing into the opponent's hands? "
Song Ziming also understands this truth, but he has his own reasons.
He explained to Liu Cheng and others:
"It happened very suddenly, and a series of scandals against me followed.
If that were the case alone, I wouldn't give up resisting.
But after the scandal came out, the special parliamentary representative of the United Government approached me.
They gave me two options.
Either I insist on holding the position of president of the Veterans Association, and they will turn the entire Veterans Association into a 'criminal organization'.
Either I resign as president of the Veterans Association and hand over the Veterans Association to the government.
In this way, they can help me eliminate the influence of the scandalous news, and they will not embarrass my old comrades afterwards..."
Liu Cheng and others understood that Song Ziming was not the kind of person who cared about his own interests.
The reason why he chose the second option was simply because he didn't want to injure his old friends who fought with him in the Veterans Association.
Song Ziming chose to sacrifice his own reputation for the sake of the overall reputation of the Veterans Association.
At this point, although Song Ziming lost control of the entire Veterans Association, there was no danger for the time being.
Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said to Song Ziming:
"Captain Song, if you lose the veterans, you will lose them. We can just find opportunities to form them in the future.
In my opinion, it is better for you to return to Blackstone Star as soon as possible.
If you are on Blackstone Star, we can still take care of you. "
Song Ziming followed Liu Cheng's suggestion and said:
"No problem, I'll pack my luggage and go back.
By the way, there are some old friends coming back with me. "
When Liu Cheng heard that Song Ziming was going to bring outsiders back, he asked doubtfully:
"Old man? Who is it?"
Song Ziming said:
"They are some cadres from the Veterans Association.
After they learned about this, they were unwilling to stay in the Veterans Association.
I plan to go to Aocheng Group to work with me. "
Liu Cheng nodded and said:
"That's no problem.
How many of you are there? How many spaceships do you need me to send to pick you up? "
Song Ziming said:
“About twenty people.
We have a medium-sized spaceship, you don't have to come to pick us up. "
Liu Chengdao:
"That's it. Then when you approach the Black Sand Star Territory, I will ask the battleships of the Aocheng Group to escort you."
Song Ziming nodded to express his understanding, and then hung up the communication.
After the communication ended, Liu Cheng looked at everyone present in the conference room and asked:
"What are your current views on this matter?"
Everyone replied:
“The matter is clear.
The reason why some of the special congressmen targeted Captain Song was probably because of the Veterans Association's appeal to veterans.
You know, it would cost a lot of money to form a combat force with as many superpowers as the Veterans Association.
Not to mention that all superpowers are elites among veterans with extremely high combat literacy, rich combat experience, and strong combat awareness. "
Everyone agrees with this statement.
After all, their Aocheng Group mercenary force has invested a huge amount of resources to develop to this point.
Excluding the First Fleet, I am afraid that its combat effectiveness is still inferior to that of the Veterans Alliance.
The Veterans Association is no longer as simple as the public welfare calling force founded by Song Ziming and others.
It has become a piece of cake with military appeal that everyone wants to have in their hands.
Suddenly, a senior executive thought of something and immediately said:
"not good!
If the purpose of the special council member is to take away the Veterans Association.
Then President Song may be in trouble this time! "
When everyone heard this, they all looked at this executive.
Liu Cheng asked doubtfully:
"Oh? How do you say this?"
The executive explained:
"What is the core of the Veterans Association? Is it Song Ziming?
No.
The core of the Veterans Association is the cadre team of the Veterans Association, headed by Song Ziming.
With them, the people under the Veterans Association can work together.
Under their command, the Veterans Association can exert strong combat effectiveness.
Without this group of leaders, the Veterans Alliance is just a group of ordinary veterans whose combat effectiveness is not much different from other mercenary organizations.
Captain Song took away more than 20 core members of the Veterans Association at once, which might bring him disaster! "
After hearing this, everyone understood the cause and effect.
They had also roughly contacted the cadres of the Veterans Association.
The senior and middle-level cadres, there were about 30 people.
More than 20 middle and high-level cadres followed Song Ziming away at once, which might make the mastermind unhappy.
The mastermind would definitely not let Song Ziming take people away so easily.
The best and most direct solution is to kill Song Ziming on the way!
Liu Cheng's face darkened. What he hated most was that someone attacked him and the people around him.
The last time Ryan was injured, Liu Cheng's reverse scale had already been touched.
So Liu Cheng said to the executives of Aocheng Group:
"Contact Song Ziming quickly and remind them to evacuate immediately!
We will send someone to meet them immediately!"
"Yes! "
The people below contacted Song Ziming and quickly told him the pros and cons of the situation they discussed in the meeting.
Song Ziming also understood the seriousness of the problem and replied affirmatively:
"I understand, we will immediately board the spacecraft to evacuate and return to Black Stone Star first. "
