Chapter 1 Although Bai Jingyan helped Sonan plan a successful coup, his status rose accordingly. At the same time, his rocket-like promotion speed also aroused the hostility of many people.

Some people wanted to curry favor with him, while others wanted to bring him down. Since Bai Jingyan gained Sonan's trust and reuse, Karaborge, Sonan's former second-in-command, felt a strong sense of threat, because power is the easiest thing in the world to cause disputes and hostility.

In the upper echelons of Murfila after the coup, although Bai Jingyan's position was not as high as Karaborge's, that was only because he had no other achievements or qualifications to show off other than the coup.

However, according to his current popularity, it is believed that it will not be long before Sonan intentionally gilds Bai Jingyan in some events to make his resume look more glorious, so as to convince the public, so that he can be promoted to a higher position in the future.

Some people even speculate that the future number two figure in Murfila will no longer be Karaborge, but Bai Jingyan.

The fermentation of this kind of statement, coupled with Bai Jingyan's merciless execution of Karaborge's officers, made Karaborge officially regard Bai Jingyan as his political enemy.

No one wants to see a newcomer trusted by his superiors and potentially replacing his position in the future.

Karaborge began to get angry. He decided to use his own methods to suppress Bai Jingyan in every possible way before he established his own foundation, so that Bai Jingyan would lose the opportunity to perform in front of Sonan!

He wouldn't leave even a sliver of a chance to this damn Yanhuang monkey!

And this opportunity came very quickly.

In order to determine the troops transporting uranium to Russia, Sonan convened a meeting of military generals that afternoon, and Karaborge and Bai Jingyan were also among those invited.

…

In the huge conference room, Sonan sat in the main seat, looked at the more than thirty generals in military uniforms under his command, and said in a deep voice: "Although we have defeated the old party and taken control of this country, there is still a serious problem in front of us."

"Russia is very dissatisfied with our behavior. We propose to exchange rare materials such as uranium for peace!"

"Russia has agreed to our request!"

"That is to say, our future destiny is closely linked to this batch of precious materials. We need to ensure that it is delivered to Russia unscathed. To this end, we need to dispatch a brigade and let a loyal and trustworthy general be the commander-in-chief of this operation and escort it all the way to Russia."

Sonan's voice fell, and his eyes swept across the crowd, but the generals lowered their heads and chose not to look Sonan in the eye.

Everyone knew that this mission was extremely dangerous. Leaving their country in this chaotic world situation, although accompanied by the Russian escort team, who could guarantee that accidents would never happen?

None of the generals answered, and Sonan's face gradually darkened.

But at this moment, Bai Jingyan suddenly stood up, and he said very calmly: "President, I am willing to serve as the commander-in-chief of this transportation mission!"

Sonan's eyes lit up and he laughed: "Mr. Bai... No, General Bai! As expected, you are the most reliable!"

"Your courage is really outstanding!"

Bai Jingyan heard Sonan's praise and shook his head with a smile and said: "Actually, it's not because of my outstanding courage. I just want to sit in this position with more confidence! Since I joined your party, I have not made any other contributions except for planning a coup, but I am on an equal footing with these generals who have made great achievements in battle. I feel very uneasy, and there are some rumors below that are also satirizing me as just a lucky conspirator...."

"I was thinking, if I could participate in some military operations, maybe I could quell these rumors with some military exploits!"

"Moreover, when this transportation team arrives in Russia, I will also have the opportunity to have some exchanges with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It would be even better if I could find opportunities for cooperation in the exchanges, or make Russia have a good impression of our new regime and provide assistance!"

Bai Jingyan did not hide his purpose at all. He took on this dangerous task because he wanted to establish some military achievements and new merits, so that his foundation could stand firmer in Murfila.

Sonan nodded upon hearing this. Bai Jingyan's words were very real. He said in a deep voice: "It's good that you have this idea! Your military rank is General, but you don't have a specific unit yet. I will draw some elites from the major military regions to form a reinforced regiment, which will be temporarily led by you. After completing this transportation mission, I will recruit troops from the country to expand your source of troops!"

"This transportation mission will be handed over to you!"

Bai Jingyan nodded upon hearing this and said, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. President..."

"I object!" At this moment, Karaborge, who had been sitting next to Sonan pretending to be a quail, suddenly stood up. His eyes looked at Sonan and said, "This mission cannot be handed over to Bai Jingyan!"

Bai Jingyan frowned.

Sonan stared at his second-in-command, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Why?"

"Just like you said, this mission is very important! And Bai... General Bai has no experience in leading troops and commanding operations. He is indeed very capable, but his ability is not applicable in large-scale wars." Karaborge had a mocking sneer on his lips: "His ability to play tricks and conspiracies in the office may be very strong, but compared to leading troops, he is just at the kindergarten level!"

Karaborge didn't intend to take on this troublesome task, but after listening to Bai Jingyan's words, a huge sense of threat arose spontaneously!

If things were really as Bai Jingyan said, this transportation mission was completed, and Bai Jingyan also talked about some cooperation with Russia... Then wouldn't Bai Jingyan be amazing when he returned to Murfila again?

According to Sonan's trust in him, coupled with this credit, it would be enough for Bai Jingyan to soar ninety thousand miles and instantly become a general with real power!

Karaborge didn't want to take on this thorny mission because he feared accidents.

But he didn't want Bai Jingyan to take on this mission even more, because he was even more afraid that Bai Jingyan would replace his position in the future!

After listening to Karaborge's words, a trace of anger appeared on Bai Jingyan's face, and Sonan even patted the table and said in a deep voice: "Karaborge, watch your words!"

"Mr. President, maybe my words were too straightforward just now! Then I will ask General Bai in another way now..." Karaborge stared at Bai Jingyan and asked condescendingly: "General Bai, do you know the distribution ratio of infantry, artillery, logistics soldiers, and medical soldiers in a reinforced regiment?"

"Do you know how to deploy the movement of soldiers in the face of a rapidly changing battlefield?"

"Do you know how to boost the morale of soldiers when they face powerful enemies?"

"Do you know the priority of handling emergencies on the battlefield?"

"Do you know..."

Faced with these questions, not only Bai Jingyan, but even Sonan became hesitant.

"I can learn, I can cram." Bai Jingyan's face was a little pale, and he said after a moment of silence.

"Learn?" Karaborge laughed: "Do you think these things are like your research data, compiled into accurate numbers and placed in front of you? These are abilities that can only be cultivated after decades of personal experience on the battlefield! They can't be learned in just a few days!"

"How can your ability be enough to take on such an important task?"

"I suggest you stay in the office and watch a few more military documentaries!"

In the conference room, an extremely strange scene appeared.

Karaborge spoke eloquently, citing a large number of examples and questions to question and deny Bai Jingyan, while the always calm and wise Bai Jingyan became speechless when faced with these questions, even sweating coldly, and finally his face turned pale, he remained silent, and was defeated.

"General Karaborge is right." Sonan thought for a long time, looked at Bai Jingyan and comforted him: "This mission is indeed not suitable for you!"

Bai Jingyan was a little unwilling and clenched his fist and said: "I can go with the army, I can not be the commander..."

"Forget it." Karaborge waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Now that our new regime has just been established, the President needs someone to help him handle chores. You should stay and do the work within your ability. I will lead my soldiers to complete the transportation mission perfectly!"

Sonan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Then, it's decided. This transportation mission will be handed over to the Karaborge Military Region, and General Karaborge will be the commander and personally lead the team to complete it!"

"Yes!" The generals stood up.

Karaborge looked triumphant, looked at Bai Jingyan, who was sitting in the corner with a look of loss, and showed a victorious smile.

…

The meeting is over.

Bai Jingyan got into his car.

Nan Nan asked, "How is it?"

Bai Jingyan smiled, swept away the decadence and defeat just now, and said softly: "Karaborge may be good at military skills! But his IQ is a little low. Whatever I want him to do, he has to do it!"

"If he plays political infighting with me, I can play him to death."
