Suddenly, the scene became extremely strange.

A strange atmosphere spread in the camp.

As the excavation and clearing progressed, more snow and wood were dug out.

Lieutenant General Li's expression became increasingly ugly.

The wood that was dug out showed signs of being burnt!

"General, these logs have been burned by fire!"

Normally when building a house or putting up a shed, one end of the wood is burned. This method is called carbonization.

The degree of carbonization is within the normal range, which can prevent insects and ants from gnawing and thus play a reinforcing role.

This will make the main body of the house more stable.

The sheds in Yucheng also use this principle.

but……

"The fire burned too much, and the part buried in the soil did not play the role it was supposed to. In addition, it was not buried deep enough. The burned part was just buried under the soil. The heavy snow piled up, and the wood could not bear the huge weight at all."

"That's why the shed collapsed."

Qiao Anbang himself also discovered this problem, but before he could say anything, something even more disgusting happened.

When the soldiers of the Shenwu Army found that no matter how they cleaned, the seedlings would not be harmed, they sped up the cleaning process.

A dozen or so wooden sheds were quickly cleared out.

The wood buried in the snow was also cleared out and placed in order on the open space next to it.

At this time, the soldiers were divided into two teams.

One team started building a new wooden shed, while another team looked angrily at the wood placed on the open space.

The wood is basically of the same thickness and is all the load-bearing part of the shed.

These woods all need to be carbonized. Some are carbonized normally, while some, as discovered by Lieutenant General Li, are over-carbonized.

Some were only half as short as the others, and the short ones were broken off directly from the burnt position, and the broken half was not found in the pit.

In other words, someone had tampered with the shed when it was originally built, which laid the seeds for a serious disaster.

It is obvious who did these things.

Lieutenant General Li lowered his head in shame: "I have failed in my duty, please punish me, General!"

Qiao Anbang's face looked extremely ugly.

Yu Youyou said: "Such a big mistake should indeed be severely punished."

"This wooden shed is estimated to be about one acre in area. The interior is built entirely with wood of varying thicknesses, just like building a house. The main structure is logs weighing hundreds of pounds. There are more than a dozen logs in the shed. In addition, there are other supporting logs, each weighing dozens of pounds. The entire shed weighs tens of thousands of pounds."

"If you calculate it this way, it's even more detailed than the tents, but something you value so much has been tampered with right under your noses."

"It's a good thing that it collapsed in the middle of the night. If the soldiers were inside during the day, what would be destroyed would not be the food seedlings, but the lives of the soldiers!"

"Think about it carefully. Yucheng is such a harsh environment. If something goes wrong, will they have a chance of survival?"

Yu Youyou's words were like a loud slap in the face, waking up everyone present, and like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.

Fang Yuan not only destroyed everyone's hope, but also wanted to take away the precious lives of the soldiers of the Shenwu Army!

At this moment, no one could laugh after learning the truth.

They all wished they could tear Fang Yuan's entire family into pieces and grind their bones to scatter ashes.

Qiao Anbang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Those who were responsible for building the wooden shed before will be severely punished according to military law. Each of them will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane as a warning!"

As soon as the words fell, several people's faces turned pale, but no one dared to raise any objections.

It was indeed their negligence that led to such consequences, and they deserve to be punished!

Just as Yu Youyou said, if more serious consequences were caused, such as harming the lives of the soldiers of the Shenwu Army, then they would be held accountable!

"Subordinates take orders!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

……

For a while, responses came one after another.

The many soldiers who participated in the previous construction work were led by Lieutenant General Li.

He was the first to receive punishment, and when the military stick fell heavily on him, there was a dull and heart-pounding sound.

Lieutenant General Li clenched his teeth so tightly that his lips even bled, but he did not make any sound from beginning to end.

Seeing all this, Yu Youyou couldn't help but sigh deeply and said, "Fifty military sticks, this punishment seems a bit too heavy."

"They are brave soldiers defending the country..." Yu Youyou hesitated to speak.

However, Qiao Anbang interrupted her without hesitation, as if he had already known what she was going to say next.

"It's not serious!" Qiao Anbang's tone was firm and decisive.

He knew very well that precisely because these soldiers shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the country, they should pursue the ultimate thoroughness and perfection.

Wherever there are people, it may become a battlefield, and they must not slack off in the slightest!

Doesn’t Qiao Anbang feel sorry for these soldiers who lived and died together?

No, on the contrary, he felt sorry for them more than anyone else.

These soldiers are not afraid of life or death. How could they be afraid of just fifty military sticks?

However, since a mistake has been made, you must take responsibility and there is no need to find any excuses to justify it.

Qiao Anbang knows very well that only strict requirements can make them stronger and better protect their homeland.

Qiao Anbang slowly turned around, left his spot with heavy steps, and walked towards the interior of the camp.

His steps seemed a little slow, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

If there is any fault, then as the commander, he has an even greater responsibility that cannot be shirked.

The reason for turning around was that he couldn't bear to see them being punished, and his heart was filled with guilt.

At the same time, it also carries a hint of escaping reality and being unwilling to face it.

Seeing this, Yu Youyou quickly took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to the military doctor standing by and whispered: "This is a good ointment. Just add an appropriate amount of water to dilute it and apply it to the wound. It can effectively relieve their pain and speed up the recovery of the injury."

The military doctor quickly took the porcelain bottle and said gratefully, "Thank you, young lady."

He was well aware of the preciousness and importance of the bottle of ointment, so he immediately turned and headed for the execution ground, hoping to relieve the soldiers' pain as soon as possible.

Yu Youyou watched the scene of punishment silently, his eyes full of pity and helplessness.

She shook her head gently, as if trying to shake off the heaviness in her heart, but ultimately she was unable to do so.

Finally, she took a deep breath, resolutely raised her feet, followed Qiao Anbang's back, and walked into the snow.

The wind became stronger and stronger, and the whistling sound was like a group of wild beasts, wreaking havoc.

Snowflakes were flying all over the sky and falling down, and there was chaos between heaven and earth.
