Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

The night was as dark as ink, and the Northwest Military Region was so quiet that only the sound of wind blowing through the treetops could be heard. Fu Jingyan was sitting in the office, having just finished communicating with Lu Nanxu and several others. His brows were furrowed, and an indescribable sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. He picked up the information at hand and flipped through it page by page, trying to find something from it.

Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He stood up and called out in a deep voice, "Adjutant!"

The adjutant walked in quickly from the door, stood at attention, and asked, "Commander, any instructions?"

Fu Jingyan looked through the window into the depths of the military zone and said in a deep voice, "Prepare a car immediately. I need to go to the arsenal."

The adjutant looked out the window at the night and said with some concern: "Commander, it's getting late. Would it be safer to go tomorrow?"

Fu Jingyan shook his head, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face: "This matter cannot be delayed, I must go and see what is going on right away."

Seeing Fu Jingyan's determination, the adjutant said no more and immediately turned to prepare the vehicle. After a while, a military vehicle stopped quietly outside the door.

Fu Jingyan and his adjutant quickly got in the car, and the vehicle quietly drove to the armory. After arriving, the two avoided the patrolling soldiers and carefully came to the armory.

Fu Jingyan pushed open the heavy door, and a smell of rust hit his nose. He walked into the warehouse and saw boxes of ammunition neatly stacked, looking orderly. However, his eyes were fixed on these boxes, as if he could see the truth inside through the appearance.

He casually walked to a box of ammunition and knocked on the box gently, making a dull sound. He opened the box with force and found a brand new rifle inside. However, when he looked at the gun carefully, he found something unusual.

He frowned and handed the gun to the adjutant: "Look at this gun."

The adjutant took the gun and looked at it carefully. His eyes gradually showed surprise: "Why does this gun look so old? And the serial number on it doesn't match the new weapons we purchased."

Fu Jingyan nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, that's exactly what I want you to see. We obviously purchased the latest arms, but these seem to be defective products that have been eliminated for a long time."

The adjutant looked at the gun in his hand in shock and said in disbelief: "This... How is this possible? We have clearly confirmed that all the ammunition is new!"

A trace of anger flashed in Fu Jingyan's eyes: "This is also what I don't understand. We must find out what happened in the middle."

The two began to check the ammunition box by box, and as time went by, their faces became more and more solemn. In the end, they were surprised to find that two-thirds of the ammunition were defective!

The adjutant was so shocked that he was speechless, while Fu Jingyan was so angry that he almost exploded. He had never thought that the interior of the Northwest Military Region would be so unbearable. If he hadn't come to check it out in person, he would probably never have discovered this amazing secret.

"We can't let this go." Fu Jingyan clenched his fists and said firmly, "But now is not the time. We must keep it secret and deal with it tomorrow morning."

The adjutant nodded. Although he was filled with shock and anger, he also knew that this was not the time to act impulsively. They had to act carefully to uncover the secrets within this military region.

The two quietly left the armory, and in the night, their figures seemed particularly firm and resolute. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but they had to go on for the future of the entire military region and the safety of the soldiers' lives.

……

The next morning, the sun shone through the windows into every corner of the military district. Fu Jingyan and his adjutant came to the military district office early to prepare for the upcoming challenges.

In the office, the adjutant looked at Fu Jingyan seriously and asked, "Chief, what should we do now? Do we need to call other chiefs together to discuss countermeasures?"

Fu Jingyan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "It is not appropriate to make it public now, so as not to alert the enemy or cause unnecessary panic. You should prepare a detailed report first, including the quantity, source, flow of defective munitions and the possible solutions we may take. Remember, this report must be kept absolutely confidential."

The adjutant nodded, with a determined look on his face, and said: "Yes, Chief! I understand what you mean. I will investigate it carefully and complete the report as soon as possible." After that, he turned and left the office.

Fu Jingyan looked at the adjutant's back as he left, and he already had a plan in mind. He decided to go and see how other people in the military region reacted. So he made an appointment with several military region leaders to go to the shooting range for target practice.

At the shooting range, several leaders picked up the guns available at the range and started shooting.

After a few rounds, Fu Jingyan pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "This is too monotonous. I heard that the arsenal has received a new batch of guns. Why not try them?"

Everyone agreed when they heard this. So someone went to get the new guns from the armory. Fu Jingyan observed the reactions of others while secretly paying attention to their expressions.

At first, the expressions of several people were relatively normal. However, when Fu Jingyan's eyes fell on the last person, he obviously found that the person's expression was a little panic. This subtle change did not escape Fu Jingyan's eyes, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

After a while, the person who went to get the gun came back. Fu Jingyan walked up, opened a box of newly arrived guns, and then pretended to be unaware, picked up a gun and started shooting.

While shooting, he observed other people's reactions, pretended to be surprised, and shouted: "Everyone, come and see! There is something wrong with this gun!"

Everyone gathered around after hearing this. They stared at the guns in the box, and some even picked one up and examined it carefully. Soon, they also discovered something strange about the guns. The guns were crudely made, and some even showed signs of rust.

Suddenly, there was a chorus of panic and anger at the shooting range. Everyone demanded a thorough investigation to find out the root of the problem. The man who had looked panicked just now became even more panicked after hearing what everyone said, but he did not dare to speak out to stop it and could only watch the situation develop.

Fu Jingyan looked at the reactions of the crowd and understood. He knew that this shooting training was only part of his plan. Next, he would have to conduct an in-depth investigation to find out the real reason why inferior munitions flowed into the military area and completely eliminate this hidden danger.
