Section 6 Joint Meeting(1/2)
When Gopula returned to the Inspectorate Hall, Di Lin was dressed neatly and prepared to set off, and gave a speech to a group of officers in the Inspectorate Hall: "Listen: look fierce, have a tighter expression, have a rough tone, and press the knife with your hands - even if someone asks for time on the way today, I will give me some murderous aura when answering!"
The officers agreed with a loud voice, rolled up their sleeves and stood their eyebrows. When they walked back and forth, the swords on their waists were lit up, making a loud sound, looking fierce and murderous intent, as if the Liufeng Army had already reached the foot of the imperial capital.
Gopula understood: Dilin was preparing to set out to attend the so-called "joint report meeting". This "joint report meeting" was proposed and hosted by Zichuan Ganxing. Its purpose is said to be to "enhance communication between the commander and the Supervision Department, understand, reduce friction, unite, work together, and overcome difficulties together!"
But according to Gopula's opinion, "Zichuan Shenxing was just pouring oil on the fire, and he didn't want to have peace between the commander and the Supervision Office. If Luo Minghai and Di Lin were locked in the same room alone, they could eat each other raw without soy sauce and seasoning - what should we do to gather such two people together to talk about 'group efforts'?"
For this reason, each "joint report meeting" always follows the following unchanging meeting procedures:
one.
Everyone sit down
two.
Zichuan Ganxing’s opening remark (“The times are so difficult, everyone must clear their personal grudges and put the overall situation first!”)
three.
Luo Minghai Report
Four.
Di Lin sneered ("Be as smart as a pig!")
five.
Luo Minghai fights back to the irony ("Shameless shemale!")
six.
He started to scold ("..." "..."..." (two hundred words were deleted here). In short, it was all about being willing to have some kind of improper and illegal compulsive physical relationship with the other party's immediate female relatives, and also said that this was entirely because he had a compassionate and compassionate heart and did not dislike the other party's ugliness.)
seven.
Speaking of the intense, in order to show his extreme contempt for the other party, everyone spitted at each other through the wide conference table (all are experts in the internal family, with sufficient lung capacity, and their saliva was urgent and vigorous, but they were almost accurate. Many of them were wasted on Zichuan Shenxing)
eight.
Pick up the teacup and smash it (in order to save money, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to replace the ceramic teacup with stainless steel before each meeting, but it still broke a lot. Later, after Ge Shan became the chief of staff, he said to the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Benzene! Don't you use paper cups?")
Nine.
Provoking each other ("Yes, you dare to touch me and try!" "So what if I move you?" "Yes, you dare to touch me and try?" "So what if I move you?" "Yes, you dare to touch me and try?" "So what if I dare to touch me and try?" "So what if I move you?"...——Philosophical questions like "chicken eggs" and "eggs" can be repeated until endlessly.)
ten.
Start the fight (Zichuan Ganxing reminds everyone: "The meeting time is not long, everyone should hurry up and get back to the main topic!" The two parties who were still immersed in the philosophical discussion suddenly realized: "Yes, you can't waste your time anymore, it's time to do serious things!" Because they could not enter the venue with weapons, they quickly picked up their chairs and started - but once everyone sat on the sofa, and they were from red nanmu, which was particularly heavy - as a result, everyone was exhausted after the fight, which was equivalent to helping the Ministry of Internal Affairs move home once.)
eleven.
Zichuan Ganxing slapped the table and scolded: "What kind of scheming is it that you are like this!" (Along with the sound of speaking, a large group of guards rushed in with police rollers and knocked around - regardless of your position and power, even if the president and the inspector general, they would beat them up - the group beat the two sides were isolated)
twelve.
Each was scolded and made a profound review.
Thirteen.
The meeting ended successfully. (Get off work and go home for dinner.)
※※※
Di Lin was very satisfied with the officers' fierce appearance: "Yes! That's it! I have to overwhelm them in terms of momentum!" Turning his head and finding Gopula, his eyes lit up, he called him over, and asked, "I'm back? Have you had a good time on vacation? Have you seen your uncle? He is in good health?" His tone was very casual.
Gopula understood Dilin's meaning and replied respectfully: "I'm sorry, I'm worried. The holiday of Xiaguan was very happy and I didn't leave any regrets. My uncle was in good health, so he said hello to you. It was because my cousin was fighting in the Far East recently, so I asked my uncle to pay more attention to the letters and people from the two provinces of Deya and Iriya, and ask carefully."
("Sir, the matter is done very cleanly, and no end is left. Commander Fang Jin still obeys you. I have asked him to carefully check the letters and people from the two provinces of Far East Germany and Iriya, so that he must not let the news leak out.") Di Lin saw that Gopra's sky blue military judge's uniform had stained the yellow sand on the road and turned brown. It was obvious that he had just returned to the emperor and came to report the matter before he went home to rest. He nodded in his heart and praised: "I did not order to check the letter, but he thought of it himself."
But Di Lin also knew that Gopula was the spy arranged by Zichuan Shenxing by his side. The two had always maintained a tacit understanding: Di Lin sent Gopula to do any shameful things that Di Lin had, and trusted him extremely; and Gopula was also very clear about how to complete the mission of Zichuan Shenxing. Every time he wrote a secret report, he asked Di Lin: "Sir, how should I write this word? I don't understand, can you help me see it?"
※※※
"Gopra, are you tired? You can go back and rest for a while." Di Lin asked him.
"No need, sir. In such an occasion, the lord should be by your side, otherwise it would be too unnatural." Gopra's implication was: As your personal guard captain, I am called "the shadow of the Dilin" outside. I am not by your side in this occasion. If Zichuan Ganxing, a person with a heart, cannot see me and feel suspicious about me and will be troublesome when I see it.
Di Lin thought for a moment and understood what Gopula meant, and patted him on the shoulder comfortably, meaning: Thank you for your hard work!
Gopula observed the entourage and found several people with thin body and pale face and thin skin. He said to Di Lin: "Sir, we should bring some stronger people over, right? These people..."
Di Lin smiled: "Gopra, do you still remember it? During the last meeting, Luo Minghai deliberately provoked, and a disgusting guy vomited so much and far away. We suffered a great loss! Today we must avenge this!"
Gopula was surprised and didn't understand how these guys who looked yellow and thin could "take revenge". He hesitated and said, "They know how to spit...they are very good at spitting?"
"That's not." Di Lin leaned close to Gopula's ear: "They are all patients with tuberculosis infectious diseases."
※※※
Both sides sat down. Luo Minghai and Di Lin automatically sat down in the two farthest positions in the room. Between them were a row of officials from the commander office and a row of officials from the Supervision Office. The barriers between the two sides were clear, as if two rows of insulating layers separated Luo Minghai and Di Lin's two positive and negative poles. Zichuan Ganxing sat at the conference table, looking at everyone majestic and kindly, as if a parent was watching his two stubborn sons who were disobedient.
Di Lin frowned. He saw the former chief of Zichuan Xiu, deputy commander of the deputy commander of Ge Shan. Ge Shan was known for being an capable official. She had no one in the meeting before, but this time Luo Minghai brought her, which may show that Luo Minghai really planned to hold a meeting seriously today.
Di Lin sighed. If this is the case, the tactics he prepared will not come in handy.
Zichuan Ganxing made his opening remarks, and the content remains unchanged for decades, and he is as nonsense as ever, and is empty and empty. Everyone has heard it a thousand and one time, and every time he listens, he still has to be deeply enlightened and benefited a lot, indicating that the Chief Minister’s words are profound and memorable.
※※※
Then Luo Minghai began to do the recent work of the commander's office to Zichuan Shenxing, the main content of which was the Far East war situation. Luo Minghai just said: "Now I will read the report of the commander-in-chief of the Far East War Zone, Commander-in-Chief of the Far East War Zone. 'Report to the Chief General and the President...'"
The officers of the Supervision Office on the other side immediately followed up in unison: "The Far East War has reached the most critical moment again!"
Luo Minghai glared at Emperor Lin: "Di Lin, Your Highness, you will not restrain your subordinates!"
Di Linman replied casually: "What? My colleague in the Supervision Office can't express his views on the Far East before His Highness? What's wrong with you?"
Luo Minghai was so angry that his veins swelled up - Luo Minghai had always been deep. Since becoming the president, he has paid more attention to the prime minister's cunning and calm in everything. However, when he met Emperor Lin, all "deep" and "city" were thrown out of the sky: Emperor Lin was particularly good at teasing people's anger. As long as he used the very special kind of aristocratic accent that no one could imitate, with a tail-sounding expression, with the expression of "I am like this, how are you doing with me?", he said a few words casually, and then used the ends of his eyes to sweep the other party contemptuously - "Can you get angry and get up and die again, as long as Emperor Lin wants!" Zichuan Xiu once said this.
※※※
Zichuan Shenxing smoothed out: "Okay, OK, Di Lin, just let your subordinates be quiet. Luo Minghai, just continue reading."
Luo Minghai stared at Di Lin fiercely and continued to read: "...Report to the President and the President: The battle situation in the Far East has reached the most critical moment!"
The officers of the Supervision Department laughed constantly, and even the people on the commander's side smiled helplessly: Since Minghui became the supreme commander of the Far East War Zone under Luo Minghai's strong recommendation, the Far East War situation will have a "most critical moment" every Tuesday and Thursday. Whenever this "critical" moment comes, of course, there is no need to say that they are clamoring to increase troops, salary and supplies.
※※※
Luo Minghai: "Minghui's report on October 7 is: 'At this critical moment, if we don't give us reinforcements - even a division, our front line will collapse!'"
Zichuan Shenxing was unhappy: "This soldier is threatening us again - tell him, no!"
Luo Minghai nodded: "Yes. I replied to him on the spot: "If the front line collapses, I will be the first to send you to the military court!"
Zichuan Shenxing exclaimed: "Well said it! That's what it should be! But why did you send reinforcements later?"
"Because he later reported: 'At this critical moment, just give me another division and I can collapse the rebels!'"
Di Lin sneered: "It's just a different saying, and he was deceived by someone."
Zichuan Shenxing also said with a slight reproach: "Yes, Luo Minghai, he only needs one division, and you don't have to draw three reorganized divisions from the western border to him at once!"
"He has come three times in total to the same report..."
Di Lin sneered, looked up at the ceiling, looking at the expression "You are so stupid that you have nothing to say", but he didn't say anything - that made Luo Minghai even more angry than what he said.
Zichuan Shenxing also laughed and shook his head and sighed: "The Far East is such a bottomless pit. We have sent more than 60 regular divisions, nearly 200,000 civilian troops, spending hundreds of billions of military spending, but there is still no sign of ending now. It's hard! Di Lin, you have been in the Far East, what do you think?"
Di Lin Gongji replied: "Sir, the official believes that the troops can no longer be drawn from the western border. At present, the comparison between our forces and the Liufeng family on the western border has reached 2:3, and there is a dangerous ratio of 1:2 in some defense lines. If the troops are drawn, the western defense line will appear too empty. If the female devil Liufeng twins have bad intentions, we will not be worth the loss."
Zichuan Shenxing nodded: "It makes sense. Although the Liufeng family is currently fighting for power and profit, we cannot be too careless. But how can we respond to Minghui's request for reinforcements?"
"This requires a solution from the newly formed civilian military division, Your Highness." Di Linming knew that Luo Minghai was responsible for the construction of the civilian military, so he deliberately kicked the problem over.
Luo Minghai replied with a thorn in his teeth and said, "Sir, since it is already the harvest season recently, most of the civilian army stayed at home to harvest crops, and fewer and fewer people came to apply for it - this situation may improve after the harvest season."
Zichuan Shenxing frowned: "This is the case... the military situation is like fire, you can't wait! Can you plan to build a mercenary of one or two divisions? This is faster and the combat effectiveness is stronger than that of ordinary civilians."
Luo Minghai didn't know how to answer for a moment: "This...the specific situation, can you approve Ge Shan to discuss it?"
Zichuan Shenxing agreed.
Ge Shan stood up and bowed to Zichuan Shenxing first, with a calm expression and a loud voice: "Return to the question of the three masters, the President, and the Inspector General: If you want to establish a mercenary army, it is estimated that the establishment cost of a mercenary division is 110 million, and the regular maintenance cost per month is 30 million. The establishment cost of a general conventional army is only about 50 million, and the maintenance cost is only about 7 million per month. After the review of the Senate Council, our military expenditure this year is 17.832 million. Due to the serious overspending of the Far East war, it has already been spent 33.251 million. It is still early November, and in the new fiscal year in January next year, there are still more than two months, and we estimate that it will cost more than 40 billion. If we still have to establish expensive mercenaries, we are afraid that we will find it difficult to explain to the Senate Council at that time."
Ge Shan said it straightforwardly, and blurted out more than a dozen detailed numbers, and she was worthy of being the first "capable official" in the commander's office.
Di Lin listened to Ge Shan's concise report, but his mind was not on the report: The relationship between Ge Shan and Luo Minghai is quite meaningful. Ge Shan has always been known for her talent and boldness. Anyone who doesn't like her will still make him unable to get out of the market no matter how high the other party's status is. Once, because of disagreement, she dared to scold her direct boss Luo Minghai in public. The two of them were quarreling red, and the bystanders turned pale-but-two - but after the incident, Luo Minghai still maintained Ge Shan's mistakes in the last time during the turmoil of the capital. Luo Minghai also protected her position as chief of staff. Now she strongly recommended her to take over as chief of staff - if this is true, she would be the first female member of the commander.
Di Lin pondered: "Apart from the grudges between him and himself, I have to admit that Luo Minghai is very polite to be a prime minister who cherishes talents, and is good at civil affairs, military logistics, and is not very greedy and does not take power. He is not bad at being the president, at least much better than his predecessor. It's a pity that he is with his own power..." While pondering, he heard Zichuan Shenxing ask Ge Shan: "Then according to your opinion, we should not set up a new mercenary army now?"
"Yes." Ge Shan replied without hesitation: "Otherwise the deficit would be too serious and he would not be able to explain it to the elders." His tone was hard, and there was no other minister's tactful, respectful and humble expression when he answered: "The chief wise man, and he would like tolerate the officials to express some shallow and vulgar views..."
Di Lin smiled bitterly and thought to himself: "No wonder! Even with Luo Minghai's strong recommendation, it would be difficult for her to take the position of chief of staff with such a temper."
Zichuan Shenxing was indeed unhappy and did not speak out.
Luo Minghai quickly changed the topic: "Your Highness, Minghui has a large-scale combat plan to allow us to approve the implementation. The plan is code-named "Blue Moon", and it is estimated that nearly 400,000 troops will be used, including the Black Flag Army. All the main forces of the Central Army will also have about 200,000 civilian troops. Minghui, who dares to take action alone, wants to ask His Highness the General. If the plan goes well, it is expected that the Far East War will end this year!"
As he expected, Zichuan Shenxing's attention was immediately attracted: "Oh? What's the plan? Tell me."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Luo Minghai turned around and greeted a staff officer: "Open the combat map."
Minghui's plan is as follows: Most of the backbone and deadly members of the Far East rebel army have been concentrated in the vast jungles and mountains of Yun Province, and are trying to rush out of Yun Province. Minghui and Sterling's troops have deployed defenses and intercepted them on the edge of the forest in Yun Province. Since most of the family royal army comes from the family's hinterland, in the forest area, it is difficult to fight and suffer heavy casualties. Minghui's opinion is: simply let go of the way, and the Black Flag Army pretends to be defeated and lure the rebels to the Sanban River plain where the Blue River and the Grayshui River cross. Then the Black Flag Army crossed the river, then demolished the bridge, and then deployed defenses on the other side of the river, so that the rebels could not cross the river. The civilian army commanded by the Central Army and Fang Jin appeared from behind the rebels. The Sanfan River Plain was facing water and had no way out. The only way for the rebels to be besieged by the Central Army and the civilian army. In less than a month, the rebels would be too hungry to hold on and surrender automatically. If the main forces of the rebels were eliminated, the rebellion in the Far East would not be difficult to quell. Before Di Lin could finish his hearing, he understood and sneered: "It is really a plan set by Minghui!"
To be continued...
