Chapter 605 Carp Port Conflict!
Tang Fei looked at Chen Binghan with considerable surprise; those were all his subordinates or colleagues.
He just killed me like that?
Even Bai Wuxin, who was sitting there bored and had no interest in politics, started silently counting the number of peanuts in his plate, turned his gaze over with amusement. Hmm, this kid's style of doing things.
I like.

Chen Binghan noticed the change in Tang Fei's expression, sat up straight, and said with a serious expression, "A great man once said, 'Revolution is not a dinner party, not writing an article, not painting or embroidering. It cannot be so elegant, so unhurried, so refined, so gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest.'"

“We are going through a brutal war, a war of life and death, blood and fire, conspiracy and betrayal. They are my subordinates, colleagues, and even friends.”

"But when people disagree on their choices, they become enemies, like ferocious beasts that can shoot each other through the chest."

“I gave them a chance and tried to persuade them. However, they were unwilling to accept our goodwill and remained firmly on the side of the enemy.”

"Since the Marshal has entrusted the North Sea Fleet to my hands, I must be responsible to the Marshal and to the entire North Sea Fleet. I have the responsibility and the obligation to eliminate all destabilizing factors."

"For the final victory."

Chen Binghan had to be very careful because this kind of thing was extremely sensitive.

He didn't want to leave Tang Fei with the impression of being 'ruthless' and 'cold-blooded'. A leader might employ such a subordinate, but he would never like such a subordinate.

Once the situation stabilizes, Tang Fei will start to wonder, "This person can even kill his own friends and brothers, can I completely trust him?"

Once doubt takes root in his mind, his future becomes bleak.

Even more extreme cases include the proverb "the rabbit is killed after the hunt, the dog is cooked, the bird is gone after the hunt, and the bow is put away." Aren't there many examples of this?

However, as the supreme commander of the North Sea Fleet, there were some things he had to do.

He needs to eliminate internal conflicts as quickly as possible and unite the various teams into one.

He was previously just one of the commanders of the North Sea Fleet.

Above them are the commander, political commissar, and captains of various fleets. The relationships within are intricate and complex, with everyone intertwined.

He needs to establish authority and strengthen his power.

Therefore, the best way is to make an example of someone to scare others.

If we just let them go, others will naturally follow suit, and how will he manage to organize the army? How will he ensure that orders are obeyed?
This balance is difficult to strike.

Therefore, he had to make Tang Fei understand his intentions and the unavoidable predicament behind his actions.

Tang Fei raised his wine cup, looked at Chen Binghan, and said, "This cup is for General Chen. To the final victory."

"Thank you, Marshal." Chen Binghan felt a great weight lifted from his heart. He quickly picked up his wine glass and said, "For the Marshal, for the final victory."

Bai Wuxin curled his lip and said, "It's just killing a few people. They were either our people or our enemies. So what if they were killed? What's the big deal?"

In his mind, anyone who isn't one of his own is an enemy.

Aren't enemies meant to be killed?

Are we supposed to worship it?
Because of his unique life experiences, he only has a stance in his mind, not right or wrong.

If the bandits order him to kill, he will kill anyone, no matter who it is.
Good guy? Bad guy?
He doesn't care about that.

Bai Wuxin could say that, but Chen Binghan couldn't respond.

Bai Wuxin held no official position, but he was Tang Fei's closest confidant.

Even though he was the commander of the North Sea Fleet, he still showed Bai Wuxin enough respect when they were together.

It was even somewhat obsequious.

Of course, he concealed it well and wouldn't easily let outsiders see through it. Tang Fei waved his hand and said with a smile, "Just kill him. Didn't the great man say that politics isn't a dinner party, it involves bloodshed and death?"

"On this road, it's either you kill me or I kill you. Even if you release them today, they'll still shoot without hesitation when we meet on the battlefield tomorrow."

Tang Fei smiled amiably, but his eyes were incredibly sincere as he looked at Chen Binghan and said, "Since I've entrusted the North Sea Fleet to you, it proves that I trust you completely. I believe that everything you've done is for our good and for the good of the fleet."

"Remember, this is just the beginning; our journey is to the stars and the sea."

Hey!
Chen Binghan stood up, saluted, and said as if taking an oath: "I am willing to die for my lord."

"Sit down, sit down, let's have a drink," Tang Fei said with a smile. "We're comrades-in-arms and friends. There's no need to be so formal in private."

"Yes." Chen Binghan sat down as ordered.

Just then, the confidential officer arrived: "Reporting to the commander, our soldiers and Os soldiers have clashed in Carp Lane, which could very well escalate into a mass incident."

Tang Fei looked at Chen Binghan, who explained, "We were ordered to garrison Carp Port together with the Sea God Fleet of the Os Empire. During our rest days, the soldiers like to go to Carp Village next to the port to drink, sing, and relax."

Tang Fei expressed his understanding.

Soldiers are human too. They are under constant stress and have their lives on the line, so they also need an outlet for their emotions.

This was already the usual practice for the garrison at Lei Yu Gang before they took it over.

It can be considered a special kind of welfare.

If we were to cancel it abruptly at this point, it would likely breed resentment among the soldiers.

In organizing and managing the army, it is necessary to be strict with discipline, but also lenient with leniency.

A balance between work and rest is the right way.

Blindly imposing iron discipline may ultimately backfire.

Although Tang Fei was a self-made 'lord', he seemed to have a natural understanding of the saying, "Like father, like son."

"It is precisely for this reason that conflicts and even physical fights occur between the soldiers on both sides."

"Does this kind of thing happen often?" Tang Fei asked.

Bai Wuxin added from the side, "This is already the seventh conflict this month."

Tang Fei frowned and asked, "Is it difficult to resolve?"

Chen Binghan smiled wryly and said, "Even if we share the same roots, there are often conflicts between soldiers in the military, which sometimes extend to different squads and companies. What's more, we and those blond guys in the Poseidon Fleet are not from the same system, so how can we easily reconcile them?"

Tang Fei stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look together."

He knew this was no small matter.

Small conflicts can escalate into major contradictions, and major contradictions can turn into life-or-death feuds.

If hatred is allowed to develop and spread, then future cooperation will be at great risk.

Even if they don't help each other, it's still uncertain whether they'll stab each other in the back.
