At this moment, Wu Jianfeng felt utterly helpless. He looked back at the recruits and realized he hadn't distanced himself enough from them. So, he took a few more steps forward, trying to create some privacy.
"Commander, you have to stand up for me. You gave me your word, and I can't believe you'd go back on it!"
He refrained from telling the Chief of Staff about the issue he faced because he knew it wouldn't make a difference.
It wasn't the first time he had encountered the Chief of Staff.
This man appeared gentle on the outside, but Wu Jianfeng knew he had a dark side.
In a way, it made sense. After all, the Chief of Staff was a strategist. If he wasn't willing to resort to underhanded tactics, how could he succeed in his role?
During drills or confrontations with other troops, having a Chief of Staff like him could be advantageous. However, in his current predicament, Wu Jianfeng didn't expect any support.
