Chapter 802: Chapter 0802: Blessings in Disguise 6 Chapter 802: Chapter 0802: Blessings in Disguise 6 In the military hospital, many people congratulated Feng Qingxue; they had all seen the appointnt notice posted on the military’s bulletin board.
“Ajiang is only temporarily replacing Deputy Commander Qi while he is under investigation, and he’ll return to his original post once Deputy Commander Qi proves his innocence,” Feng Qingxue said humbly. She couldn’t actually show off, could she?
It was enough to keep her happiness hidden inside, there was no need to show it and annoy others.
Wang Sanbao tapped her forehead, “Even if Deputy Commander Qi is innocent, he won’t be able to resu his role as deputy commander.”
Chen Ju’s actions were utterly despicable, and Qi Gang had no face left.
“Why?” Feng Qingxue asked.
Guo Xiuying replied, “It’s simple, Chen Ju did all that relying on his power, and Comrade Qi Gang will definitely be punished by the military—perhaps even by the Capital.”
Sure enough, Guo Xiuying hit the nail on the head.
By the end of April, the border forces’ audit finally concluded. Including the command headquarters—where no corruption was uncovered—only relationships scandals between two high-ranking officers and female soldiers of the cultural troupe were found.
In early May, Marshal Lu returned to the Capital. Cui Shaoyuan didn’t leave imdiately but dealt with the remaining issues after receiving a telegram from above.
First of all, Dan Qingming, having embezzled more than three thousand yuan, was sentenced to death and executed imdiately.
The goods confiscated from Dan Qingming’s dormitory amounted to over a thousand yuan, and the property recovered from his hotown exceeded two thousand yuan—this was only a part of it, without including the resources that were consud over ti.
Indeed, Dan Qingming and his family had more than three thousand yuan in savings, but the nature of goods and money was different.
Then, Qi Gang was directly demoted from Deputy Commander to Deputy Regintal Commander, though he was still allowed to stay in the military.
Although there were many goods in Qi Gang’s house, they were indeed purchased by Chen Ju with her own money. She took advantage of her power to buy good products under the guise of discounted goods without the need for vouchers, resulting in trendous wastefulness. The bribes she solicited from lower-ranking soldiers amounted to several tens of yuan. Therefore, although Chen Ju’s death sentence could be forgiven, her cris couldn’t be absolved, resulting in a ten-year reformation through labor sentence.
Chen Ju shouldered all the bla, and of course, Qi Gang truly was unaware of everything, which is why Qi Gang’s punishnt was demotion, with no threat to his life, nor the need for reformation through labor.
The punishnts for Dan Qingming and Qi Gang were orders directly issued by the senior leader.
There were pleas from the Capital, stating that both Dan Qingming and Qi Gang were veteran revolutionaries who had made considerable contributions, and Qi Gang was a General, hoping they could redeem themselves with future rits. The senior leader did not agree, only stating four words “Corruption should be punished by death.”
Three other corrupt mbers in the military, with smaller amounts involved, were spared the death penalty but received fifteen years of labor reformation.
With the position of head of the logistics departnt vacated, the military region promoted Deputy Minister Mao Kui directly, and chose a veteran logistics officer to be the deputy minister—Ouyang Zijin.
Before there was ti to congratulate Ouyang Zijin, docunts arrived from above.
The military rank system, from now on, canceled!
At the sa ti, the military announced the new uniform style: navy, army, and air force garnts were unified, the distinction between officers and soldiers being that the forr had four pockets while the latter had two. The collars differed for n and won, with the navy in dark grey, the army in grass green, and the air force in a green jacket and blue trousers. The cap was a liberation cap, with a red five-pointed star cap badge and red collar tabs.
On June first, the entire army would receive new uniforms, and there was an atmosphere of thriving optimism throughout the troops.
