After a week of voting, the election is almost over. Cao Zhongxian is the one with the highest number of votes. It seems that the soldiers trust this old man who has served the general, the old marshal, and Yue Runsheng for three generations of Grand Marshals.

But there were also two generals following closely behind - Zhang Huo and Jin Wanlei.

Zhang Huo joined the army in 23 years. He is a rising star general from the Central Guard Army. He is now 45 years old and in his prime.

During the Fourth Northern Expedition from 36 to 46 years of the Colonial War, Zhang Huo followed the army to conquer the remnants of the Eagle Banner in the Northern Territory, made great contributions and made great contributions. He directly emerged from the vast sea of ​​people at the grassroots level and was promoted to a senior general of the empire.

This is a powerful evolutionist, an absolute strongman on the battlefield. Not only is he strong himself, but he also has extremely rich command experience. He can be said to be the "eagle general" of the new generation and the No. 1 seed of the election.

But Zhang Huo killed too many Eagle Flag Army in the Fourth Northern Expedition. The Eagle Flag veterans left behind are not very good at thinking and are unwilling to vote for him, otherwise he would definitely gain a crushing advantage, rather than ranking second as he is now.

Jin Wanlei joined the army in 2017, graduated from the Command Department of the Central Military Academy, and served as a staff officer. He is now the Chief of Staff of the Imperial Central Command.

As we all know, the record of the Fourth Northern Expedition in historical books is "Putting the northern border in seven years and setting the south of the Yangtze River in three years."

Historical books specifically use the two words "ping" and "ding" to distinguish them, which shows that the methods of regaining the northern border and regaining the south of the Yangtze River are different.

"Ping" is naturally to flatten the remnants of the Eagle Banner with force.

"Status" means stability, using power to destroy the enemy and conquer the hearts of the people.

If Zhang Huo represents the "seven years of pacifying the northern border", then Jin Wanlei is the representative of "three years of deciding the south of the Yangtze River".

In the later stage of the Fourth Northern Expedition, Jin Wanlei used a series of means such as negotiations, shifting contradictions, and internalization to disintegrate the Jiangnan defenders, causing multiple factions with different opinions to appear within them, and finally triggered civil strife in Jiangnan. The Central Army moved in with the flow, and almost completed the recovery of Jiangnan without any bloodshed.

From this point of view, Jin Wanlei is also very powerful, but because his methods of doing things are too insidious and not very likable, he ranked behind Zhang Huo.

Although the election is coming to an end, it is not over yet. There are still a large group of soldiers holding votes, and the number is enough to subvert the entire election results. So it is unknown who will become the leader in the end.

In Linjiang Central Plaza, on the only way to the temporary command center, the military has set up checkpoints and polling stations. Real-time voting data is displayed on the screen of the tall buildings next to it. The images of Cao Zhongxian, Zhang Huo and Jin Wanlei, who have received the highest votes, have been printed on the screen.

Soldiers came to vote at the polling stations one after another. Each voter must present a military certificate and be identified and entered by the system to ensure the fairness of one person and one vote.

The soldiers at the polling station are summarizing the votes on the system at this time. In order to ensure privacy, the votes are not real-time, but have a random delay of 3 to 5 minutes, so others cannot tell who you voted for.

At this time, the soldier sitting in front of the computer felt a shadow coming. He stared at the computer screen intently, and said while operating: "Please show the military certificate."

No response.

The soldier subconsciously looked up and suddenly felt cold in his heart. He saw a man with bronze skin standing in front of him. His skin was covered with traces of exposure, and some white and raised knife marks. His cold eyes had no impurities, only indifference, nothing more, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Soon, the soldier noticed that there was another person next to him. Although the guy had a sneer on his face, he was not as oppressed as an ordinary person. He calmed down and asked, "Are you here to vote?"

"kindness."

"Are you soldiers?" the soldier looked at the two of them and said with a puzzled look, "It shouldn't be? I'm sorry, it is stipulated that only soldiers can conduct this voting."

"Why?"

The soldier smiled angrily and said, "What's the reason, I'm not until why, what is the above regulations, let's do it."

"The people above stipulate? Who gives them the power?"

"..." The soldier narrowed his eyes and after a moment of silence, he said suspiciously, "If you have nothing to do, please come back, don't block the voters behind."

"There is no need to vote, because all results will be invalid." After speaking, the man walked inward.

Seeing that the other party entered the level without saying a word, the soldier was so scared that he was sweating in a cold sweat. He stood up and shouted: "Hey! Go out! You can't come in here!"

Military checkpoints are not public toilets, so how can you enter just by wanting to enter?

Seeing that the other party refused to listen to the warning and blatantly crossed the cordon, the soldier pulled out the gun hanging behind him, aimed at his head, and shouted sternly: "Stop! Immediately! Otherwise you will be shot dead!"

"Swish!" The cold light slashed, and the fierce sword energy even blew up a strong wind, causing a turbulent flow in the direction of the slash. A thin blood line appeared on the soldier's neck. After a three-second stagnation, the head on the neck slid down. At the last moment when his life disappeared, he saw the Hanting Hou who was unsheathed.

...

At the temporary command center, senior generals were holding daily meetings when an alarm suddenly sounded.

Since it is wartime, there is a complete set of emergency plans. The entrance and exit of the temporary command center was instantly closed by iron doors poured with steel bars. At the same time, the conference table of the command center was separated from the middle, revealing the stairs leading to the safety room.

Zhang Huo immediately stood up and frowned: "Someone is invading?"

Jin Wanlei said in confusion: "Strangely, we did not receive any alarms from the front line. Could it be that the enemy's special forces have penetrated here?"

Cao Zhongxian stood up with the help of his servant and greeted, "Don't ask, go to the safety room first."

However, as soon as Cao Zhongxian finished speaking, the other generals had not even reacted. A crack shining with scorching light suddenly appeared in the closed iron gate. Then a torrent of wind rushed into the room through the gap, overturning all the generals present.

The closed air pressure in the room has risen due to the infusion of this airflow, and many people's eardrums have been damaged by high air pressure and are constantly bleeding.

Immediately afterwards, dense cracks appeared on the iron gate, and finally all of them collapsed and shattered with a loud bang, revealing the two figures standing outside.

These senior generals are relatively young, and many people have never seen the former old marshal before, so they were unable to recognize the two people standing outside the door. They were a little confused for a moment and did not know who the visitor was.
