High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

Jiang Wanchao is one of the six supreme powers in the current central government of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In addition to his position as a member of the Standing Committee, he also served as Minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Director of the National Strategic Planning Bureau, making him a figure of considerable power.

In the past, Li Mo only knew a little about him from the news.

His public image is quite good; he is honest and upright. However, it is unclear what he is like in private.

At least from the fact that he sent his subordinate Zheng Shaoqiu to cause trouble, it can be confirmed that this person is a radical, and belongs to the category of those with absolute authority in the forces opposing Li Mo.

Regardless, Li Mo is still a major general, and he still needs to show some respect to the current political leaders.

So Li Mo waved his hand, signaling Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng to put Zheng Shaoqiu down.

Only then did government officials finally dare to step forward and carry Zheng Shaoqiu away.

The entire government hall was in chaos, and everyone was startled by Li Mo's almost insane behavior.

Anyone with a modicum of political acumen would never choose to slap a government official across the face in front of the government building!

This guy is absolutely insane!

The government leadership is not actually afraid of Li Mo's status as a national hero, nor is they afraid of him being a young hero in the army, because they can completely bring him down step by step through their own efforts.

But they're afraid of madmen!

One of Jiang Wanchao's subordinates spoke first: "Mr. Jiang, this Li Mo is a bit difficult to control! Arrogant and domineering! He looks down on everyone! This kind of person is really too troublesome! Does he have no brains? How dare he hit Zheng Shaoqiu in this situation today?"

Jiang Wanchao frowned, his opinion completely different from everyone else's.

"Do you really think he's just arrogant and domineering? If only that were the case!"

What Jiang Wanchao really hoped for was that the person Zhao Zhenyuan had appointed to garrison the Qiyuan Mountains was just a brainless idiot, so that the government could eventually take back the Star Crystal Mine in the Mississippi Mountains through its own means.

Judging from Jiang Wanchao's observations, Li Mo is not a brainless person.

On the contrary, Li Mo is extremely intelligent!

Jiang Wanchao had already read Li Mo's information, including all his experiences from childhood to adulthood. Through his observation, he found that Li Mo was an extremely patient person!

Those who say Li Mo is arrogant and domineering have not seen Li Mo's behavior at Starry Sky University before he joined the army.

When Li Mo had no strength, he was looked down upon at Starry Sky University, but he never did anything out of line, not even fighting.

Li Mo's arrogant behavior at Starry Sky University was entirely based on his possession of the Iron Blood Token!

This shows that Li Mo is a very intelligent person. He knows how to leverage power, how to protect himself, and how to use the resources around him to achieve his goals!

In Jiang Wanchao's view, this kind of person is the most terrifying!

Moreover, Li Mo's act of slapping Zheng Shao Kui was not reckless. Today was a day to commend and celebrate the army's achievements, and Li Mo was the number one hero. No matter what Li Mo did today, everyone would give him the greatest tolerance.

He could kill Zheng Shao Kui right there in the street!

"Ugh."

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanchao couldn't help but sigh slightly. He originally thought that dealing with the army's entry into the Mississippi Mountains would only require dealing with Zhao Zhenyuan, but he didn't expect that Li Mo would be just as troublesome.

Today's commendation meeting is destined to be anything but peaceful!

Next, the military delegation slowly entered the inner hall of the Capitol.

This parliament building is a landmark building of the Great Xia government, and its design is naturally magnificent. It can accommodate more than two thousand people at the same time.

At this time, there were about one hundred high-ranking government representatives, who were divided into two rows to welcome the military delegation.

The six people sitting on the stage are the representatives of the highest power in the Great Xia Dynasty!

Li Mo knew all six of them; they were frequent figures in the news. But seeing them in person now, he truly felt the oppressive force emanating from them.

From left to right, they are Liu Quan, Zhao Xianhe, Wang Jianbang, Dai Guolin, Jiang Wanchao, and Li Liquan.

Even though some unpleasant things had just happened, today was a day to celebrate a great victory, so all the high-ranking government officials stood up, including the six supreme authorities on the stage, and thunderous applause rang out throughout the hall.

"Congratulations, Marshal Zhao! You have led our Great Xia army to an unprecedented victory. This is truly something to celebrate!"

"Marshal Zhao has accomplished such an unparalleled feat today; he will likely be remembered throughout history!"

"All officials of our central government extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Great Xia Army!"

Judging from the expressions on their faces, they were indeed happy about it.

After all, the two high-concentration star crystal mines and the alien ruins will undoubtedly bring immense economic value and development potential to the Great Xia!

The Great Xia Dynasty severely dampened the spirits of the White European Empire and the Black Earth Tribe with this battle, and it is not impossible for it to regain its status as the dominant power on Earth in the future!

Furthermore, since Zhao Zhenyuan's title of marshal was actually conferred by the government, they would naturally offer their heartfelt congratulations.

There's something even Li Mo didn't know: before Zhao Zhenyuan became a marshal, he was actually a government official.

As mentioned before, the government is suspicious of the military, which is why it has deployed a large number of highly skilled individuals who only obey the orders of politicians into the military, thereby acting as the government's eyes and ears, so that the government can always know the inside story and movements of the military.

Zhao Zhenyuan was one of them!

Before joining the army, Zhao Zhenyuan was actually working for a politician. Later, he was sent into the army to act as an informant.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Zhenyuan realized the extent of the government's suspicion towards the military.

Without government support, Zhao Zhenyuan's resume was not qualified to become the current marshal. The government originally thought that Zhao Zhenyuan could become a puppet after becoming marshal, but unexpectedly, Zhao Zhenyuan directly betrayed the government.

Because Zhao Zhenyuan knew too many inside stories about the government, after he openly told these inside stories to many soldiers in the army, it actually led to him cultivating a lot of power in the army.

Government actions include, but are not limited to, cutting military spending, reducing budgets, and interfering with frontline command.

Even now, the government is very wary of these military delegations who are present.

While the parliament hall may appear to contain only high-ranking government officials, it is likely that the area is already teeming with patrolling royal guards, and there may even be martial arts masters present.

Of course, not many people know that Zhao Zhenyuan has betrayed the government yet; at least among these high-ranking government officials, probably less than one-tenth know.

But after today, they will probably all understand.

Just as Zhao Zhenyuan said, the army of Great Xia needs to save itself!
