Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1034 - 677: Even the Justest Judge Cannot Settle Family Disputes (Part 3)
Master Dai took the record handed by the Inspection Soldier and read it carefully for a while, then looked up and said, "So the problem lies in the restructuring of 1985. They all come from the same root, just diverged due to the restructuring. It's like you're cousins. Is it worth getting so worked up over?"
"How can it not be, Comrade Inspection Soldier, there can only be one 'Red Saber Battalion'!"
"Comrade Guan Zhenghao, I'm not favoring the Linghai Reserve Camp, but I think your viewpoint is problematic."
"What's the problem?"
"The predecessor of the others is like yours. Why can't they inherit the 'Red Saber Battalion' honor title? From the information provided by both sides, more than just your two groups qualify to inherit this honor. According to the principle of honor following individuals, even troops transferred out from the Huaye 13th Vertical during the restructuring, including the 903 Mobile Division that turned into the Armed Police in 96, have the qualifications to inherit!"
"That's different."
"How is it different?"
"We have proof, we have evidence."
Master Dai asked, "What evidence?"
Guan Zhenghao eagerly said, "We have a 'Red Saber Battalion' honor room, and we have the 'Three Treasures' that can prove we are the 'Red Saber Battalion'!"
Master Dai curiously asked, "What are the 'Three Treasures'?"
"A bayonet bent by predecessors in the Xiangshan Blocking Battle, a pair of Liberation Shoes worn out by soldiers during skill drills in the 1964 army competition, and a 'Red Saber Battalion' honor flag awarded by the Ministry of Defense. These items not only witness our troop's struggle but also prove we are the 'Red Saber Battalion'!"
"Xu Mingyuan, do you have items that prove you are the 'Red Saber Battalion'?"
Talking about evidence, do you two know what I do? Do you two know where our camp is located?
Xu Mingyuan smiled, saying very seriously and earnestly, "Comrade Inspection Soldier, if we're talking about relics from predecessors and even martyrs that can prove we are the 'Red Saber Battalion,' our company has many."
"Many!"
"I really don't deceive you. The evidence provided by Company Leader Guan can only be traced back to the later stages of the Liberation War's Xiangshan Blocking Battle. Our red relics can be traced back to the Anti-Japanese War period. We have blood-stained clothes worn by martyrs when they sacrificed, and Type 38 rifles and crooked machine guns seized from Japanese soldiers!"
Xu Mingyuan thought of those exhibits in the Sanhe Heroes' Cemetery exhibition hall and continued, "We have telephones used by predecessors during battles, a radio allocated to our company by superiors, and water bottles used in the Crossing the River Campaign, which were seized from Nationalist soldiers..."
Ma Jintao realized and admired it wholeheartedly, thinking how could the exhibits in your honor room compare with those in a martyr's cemetery?
Guan Zhenghao and Chen Zhenhai couldn't believe their ears.
Master Dai was also stunned, unable to believe that the "Hong Kong Garrison" had so many "relics."
"What about the 'Red Saber Battalion' honor flag awarded by the Ministry of Defense? Old platoon leader, the 'Red Saber Battalion' honor flag awarded by the Ministry of Defense most accurately proves who is the 'Red Saber Battalion.' Do you have it?"
"Yes!"
"Really?"
"Yes indeed, you can visit our company honor room if you don't believe."
It's just an honor flag.
Not to mention that there really is one in the Binjiang Reserve Regiment's honor room, even if there wasn't, one can be made and aged as needed.
The Ministry of Defense back then is different from now.
What material the honor flag made back then used, and its exact dimensions, who can say now? Do I fear you'll conduct a forensic examination?
Xu Mingyuan posed an attitude that he had everything and more comprehensively than Guan Zhenghao, who was indeed intimidated by the former Big Commander of the Criminal Police, hesitated and said, "I need to report to the superiors."
Master Dai didn't want to dwell on it further, nor did he want to affect tomorrow's rescue operation. He gestured for his subordinates to put away the two 'Red Saber Battalion' flags, then stood up and said, "I can't mediate the conflict between your two families. I need to report to the superiors as well.
To prevent further conflicts over the honor title between your two families, I will temporarily keep these two Red Flags until the superiors confirm who the real 'Red Saber Battalion' is or until the current flood rescue mission is executed."
"Comrade Inspection Soldier, we must take the military flags with us!"
"Comrade Guan Zhenghao, are you worried I'll embezzle your military flags?"
"It's not worry about embezzlement, we're about to depart, we're heading to Jiujiang!"
"You're leaving?"
"Our troop is stationed at Jianfu, we belong to the Nanjing Military Region. We boarded the train after receiving orders. On the train, there's not only us but also a troop from the Guangzhou Military Region. According to the original plan, we were supposed to transfer midway. However, due to the breach at Nanhu, our superiors ordered us to assist in the rescue with the Guangzhou Military Region troop."
Seeing Master Dai in thought, Guan Zhenghao continued, "Our task here is complete, and our superiors ordered us to move to Jiujiang early tomorrow."
"You belong to the Nanjing Military Region, and so do you, Xu Mingyuan. Why are you two fighting here in the Guangzhou Military Region defense zone?"
"We didn't fight, didn't engage."
"Luck you didn't fight, otherwise none of you would be going back!"
Master Dai snorted coldly and said authoritatively, "Considering the cause, I'll act as if I didn't see you nearly fighting tonight. But I must take these two military flags, who knows if you'll cause a commotion later!"
Guan Zhenghao grimaced, "But..."
"No 'buts.' I will hand over the military flags to the superiors, who will pass them to your mutual superiors. It's difficult for a fair judge to decide between household matters; let your mutual superiors handle this family affair between you two."
Master Dai finished speaking, then called upon two subordinates to take the two military flags and leave.
Who would dare to defy the Inspection, especially when the Inspection has shown ample courtesy tonight? With a stricter Inspection, at least two people would be taken away for confinement tonight.
Guan Zhenghao could only watch helplessly as the three Inspections took the military flags away.
