Chapter 774: Good chess
Since Zhou Xiuwen’s family already had plans for this, Jiang Hui didn’t want to ask too much.
She knew that the Zhou family would probably make various arrangements around the First Legion in the next period of time. After thinking about it, she mentioned Colonel Phillips to Zhou Xiuwen. Without saying much, I just talked about an incident a month ago -
The third generation only son of the Phillips family is named Tellus Phillips, who currently has the rank of colonel and is also a reserve of the First Army. general.
Although he caused a chaos due to his obvious dereliction of duty, she was also one of the victims. Jiang Hui later complained to Commander Zhou through Zhou Xiuwen, which was regarded as revenge for himself.
But now it seems that the person is really a somewhat normal person among the bunch of bad things.
Human beings are indeed arrogant, and because they are too arrogant and conceited, they harm others and themselves, and their families are also affected. This cannot be washed away.
But he is indeed not that bad. Jiang Hui still remembered that when she wanted to accuse the perpetrator behind the scenes, a trace of real disapproval flashed across the other person's eyebrows. Later, they were taken to the Military Law Office. Even though they had to go to explain the incident, they finally fulfilled their responsibilities as invigilators and carefully handed over these students who were involved in the storm.
Also, a few days after the unified recruitment, Jiang Hui received an unfamiliar remittance from the Military Liaison Office, with a note of compensation and no signature. It also comes with various documents representing unconditional gifts of responsibility, all of which have been signed. In short, the other party has thought carefully about it, and she will not have any worries even if she does not want to receive such a large sum of money.
Of course Jiang Hui is not so stupid that he dares to spend a sum of money without knowing who has remitted it. He must find out the source. What if someone else remits it by mistake.
Stark happened to be free at that time, so he helped with the investigation, and then he actually found out his name. This amount of money actually came from a certain Mr. Phillips. Although the specific person was not found, based on the time and place of the remittance, it should be Tellus Phillips.
The other party should have transferred money to a dozen accounts at the same time. They were all people who had taken the qualification exam last time. Jiang Hui guessed that they might be the ones who were injured at that time.
The military had already provided subsidies and compensation for what had happened, and Colonel Phillips had also been punished. However, this payment was obviously a personal compensation from Tellus Phillips. After all, he seriously reflected on his original recklessness and error in judgment, and believed that he should compensate the candidates who were injured as a result. So with such a mentality of making up for the situation, he immediately started to remit money for compensation as soon as he was released from the confinement room of the military command center.
Of course some of the damage has been done. Just like Jiang Hui and Taylor back then, they really almost died in the water. If they hadn't been lucky, they would have died right now. Therefore, no matter how much monetary compensation is given, it can only be said to make up for it.
These children of the noble family have always been proud and arrogant, but they have made mistakes and would rather bleed and have broken bones than lose their dignity. Most of the descendants of the aristocratic families that Jiang Hui had come into contact with before had this problem. They were obsessed with saving face. It was really not like their style to make compensation afterward, which was almost like admitting their mistakes.
It seems that although this person cannot be said to have a good character, he at least still has some sense of right and wrong and principles. Zhou Xiuwen had many difficulties in conquering the First Legion under the obstruction of various forces. The forces within the legion have been divided for many years, and there must be many people with deep roots like the Phillips family. Although Admiral Phillips lost the initiative for a moment, he could not continue to be so depressed based on his ability. When he reacts, he may cause trouble for Zhou Xiuwen.
Jiang Hui can't really help with this, but he can help with analysis. Perhaps this Colonel Phillips can be used as an entry point for Zhou Xiuwen to break into the First Army?
The fight between people is nothing more than for their own interests. If we have common interests, don’t we have to live in harmony?
The fundamental reason why General Phillips resigned from the candidate position was that Zhou wanted to take back the First Army, which was the result of a battle between the two sides. As everyone can see, the Phillips family was immediately dragged into the water by the "pig teammates".
However, they have been developing in the First Legion for many years, and their position is still important from a fundamental perspective. Regardless of whether Zhou Xiuwen can successfully take charge of the First Army in the future, he will inevitably have to deal with Phillips and his son.
Why can’t Zhou Xiuwen reach cooperation with the Phillips family? Even if it is impossible to reach an agreement on differences of interest, at least there should be some relaxation.
After all, the Phillips family has worked hard to become the leader. In the final analysis, it is to improve the status of the family, but it is well known who has the real ownership of the First Legion. Even if he becomes the manager, how long can this unjust and unreasonable name of an agent be maintained?
At the beginning, various forces used disgraceful means to seize the first legion under the command of Zhou Yuanjing. Although due to physical and political reasons, the commander-in-chief Zhou who took the overall situation into consideration finally gave way, but he was the original owner after all. With Commander Zhou's prominent reputation in the interstellar world, it is not impossible to get it back even without resorting to any form of means.
So the First Legion will return to other people's hands sooner or later. All the forces within the Legion know this. It's just that they want to postpone this time, and then push it later. If they can delay the Zhou family's fall, then it is truly called "the right bet" - then they will be the veterans of the legion, and they will truly take the upper hand. .
Naturally, the Phillips family thought the same way, and the candidate position of manager had been planned for several years. However, as things developed, the plan failed and even their power in the army was slightly affected. For this reason, General Phillips gave his only son, who was never willing to teach him a lesson, a good beating. I heard that he personally invited him to do it.
Now that this has been started, Zhou Xiuwen will also fight against all forces within the legion, so why not find some allies for himself?
Admiral Phillips is an old man, he is not so easy to control, and he may even plot against him if he is not careful. But Colonel Phillips, the only son who caused the trouble just now, is a suitable candidate to contact.
If Zhou Xiuwen can recruit this person, no, he only needs to establish a good cooperative relationship. Then he may be able to open up an opening in the First Army. If Zhou Xiuwen has more chips in his hands tomorrow, maybe the Phillips family will choose to bet on him.
This is a good move.
