In the lavish palace, decorated in blue and gold tones, the top of the empire sat at the table.

There are quite a few people attending the meeting today, and there are about 20 people in total. This was rare in the past, because if there was a problem, it was usually solved by going through the crowd by phone and holding a meeting in a small area, and it was rare for such a big scene to occur.

The mountains and seas, or bureaucracy, do not exist in this new regime at the moment.

The old men don't even have enough qualified literate clerks now, let alone hold meetings every day...... The audience couldn't even get together to applaud.

In addition, the most fundamental point is that the cross-section of bureaucrats and capitalists will not cultivate a huge bureaucratic class to make trouble for themselves in the future.

The bureaucracy is a pure consumer class, every penny they spend is a tax, and each of them needs the endorsement of rights for their existence.

In the future, the main tax revenue of the state will definitely be collected from the descendants who have mastered the world's top 250 companies, and the real power of the state is also in their hands. In such a situation, wouldn't it be self-defeating to cultivate a huge bureaucratic class - the old men have too much money to spend? Or do you think you have too much power?

Therefore, the traversal who has a clear vision of the future strives to build the framework of the emerging society from the beginning - according to the rough path of the later industrial revolution. On this basis, add some management convenience brought by the technology of later generations, at least for now, it seems that the imaginary new society is managed well by more than 200 traversals.

But everything is relative. A seemingly mild, affluent, thriving new world hides cold slaves, mines, long-term loans of all kinds, 996,997, and the daily death of workers.

While the immigrants are experiencing the incomparable public services of the new society, they are also rapidly being educated and transformed by the new society--the capitalist society is naturally all about money.

All social activities run under some kind of cold rule. Those who break the rules either go to the pit or go to the mine, and in the new society, the cost of stealing a dollar is equal to stealing a piece of gold.

The immigrants from the agrarian society, the idleness, the slow pace, the human feelings, and the way of life that they had learned in their previous lives were all strangled in the face of machine-like capital; Relationships began to become simple and cold, and the pyramid of extended families began to be replaced by a one-family, colonial, worker-bee model.

The employment system, which is far stricter than that of later generations, has made 996 people shout that the lord is merciful, which is the blessing of our previous life...... It's a blessing, and those who don't have it go to the mines, quarries and dense forests.

Of course, this kind of highly organized, individual-accurate social co-ordination is not sustainable at the moment. Relying on the continuous expansion of territory and the export of capital to cover up internal contradictions, the way will eventually encounter a bottleneck, because the earth is so big. Therefore, with the development of society, products such as a large number of unemployed workers will one day appear on the streets.

But on that day, it is estimated that the crossing crowd will also close their eyes, no matter how much he floods.

......

The long tables were lined with people, some extra chairs were scattered at the base of the walls, the smell of tobacco of all kinds permeated the hall, the throne on the steps was empty, and the faint echo of speech was ringing around the ears.

Standing at the bottom of His Majesty's stairs and speaking was Army Commander Han Xiaobo.

No matter how deep the people want to "insert" in the matter of King Qin, if they want to intervene, then the main ones who jump out and sing must be the military. Therefore, at today's meeting, the army and navy, including the bigwigs of the special combat team, all arrived, and the uniforms of generals of various colors sat in a conspicuous row on the side of the long table.

And the first to express opinions on King Qin's matter is naturally the Army, which should play the leading role in everyone's minds.

As a former military officer, Han Xiaobo, who has always adhered to the principle of following the party, has managed the army well in peacetime, and the army has also developed steadily, which is very much in line with the requirements of the cabinet.

However, sticking to principles does not mean that he has no brains, and it does not mean that he does not care about the interests of the department.

In the matter of King Qin, although the general will of politicians is to insert a lever, Han Xiaobo did not agree. To be precise, he himself has a "negative" attitude towards this matter. Therefore, as soon as he came up today, Commander Han raised a lot of objective difficulties, and he did not mean to cooperate with the grand plans of the politicians at all.

"It's mid-November and winter has entered the north. Please note that this is the winter of the Xiaoice period. Although there is no meteorological data, in the Beijing and Tianjin areas, the words "counting nine cold days" and "dripping into ice" are by no means too much. ”

"And what about our troops? I can tell you here that these southerners have not been trained in the winter field, and most of the lads have never even seen snow. Therefore, if they are sent to the battlefield in a hurry, the overall combat effectiveness of the troops will be reduced, and a large number of non-combat attrition will also be predictable. ”

When Han Xiaobo said this, he shook his head slightly, and turned his gaze to Zou Guoqing, the minister of industry who was responsible for planning industrial production: "In addition, I have not seen military coats, cotton boots, gloves, ** hats, anti-frost, and other materials that cooperate with winter operations." I wonder if these materials will be produced in time for temporary production now? ”

Zou Guoqing, who was sitting at the table, rolled his eyes when he heard the sound.

As far as King Qin's case is concerned, if he didn't prepare supplies in advance, he really can't rely on Zou Guoqing. Although the traversal knew the history, since the farthest tentacles before this had only reached Shanghai, no one from top to bottom had seriously considered running to the capital city of King Qin in the winter of 1629.

To put it bluntly, the reason why things have come to such a large scale today is because of the opportunistic minds of some birdmen: since the big move in the north has appeared, then we have dates or no dates to play a pole and get some benefits?

This mindset is common before a student's exam: cramming.

However, sending troops to the north, 1,500 kilometers away, is not a temporary solution. No, Han Xiaobo casually raised some difficulties, and the speculators present were blinded.

"If you really have to make up your mind, these materials can also be processed urgently." After Zou Guoqing felt the pressured eyes coming from the surroundings, he sighed, and still hugged the Buddha's feet: "Cotton clothes and cotton pants can be mobilized to female workers for emergency processing." We have all the winter clothing versions of the domestic and foreign armies, including cotton, canvas, and bear skins on hats, and these raw materials are not lacking. ”

"I'm calling the old grandson of the quilt factory now, and I dare not say that it is no problem to deliver 500 sets of winter clothes to the army in three days."

"In addition, things like cold protection equipment are actually easy to do. Both the glycerin and Vaseline chemical plants are available, and the laboratory can improvise a batch of antifreeze oil for the soldiers. ”

When Zou Guoqing said this, he glanced at the few people sitting on his left hand out of the corner of his eye - whether or not to make a temporary speculation a real thing, and invest a lot of resources in it, you can do it yourself.

Xia Xianze, who was sitting at the top, stretched out his hand and pressed down at this time. Although he remained neutral in this matter, since the meeting had been held, it was his responsibility to maintain order in the meeting: "Okay, the problem of winter clothes is solved, Han Xiaobo, you continue, and say anything difficult." ”

Han Xiaobo nodded and continued: "The number of 500 is very good, this is the number of people in my plan, just one battalion. Our troops are all high-consumption modern troops, so it is impossible to send a large army - to transport supplies from Taiwan across thousands of miles to the north, just think about it. ”

"Besides." When Han Xiaobo said this, he glanced at the princes in the front row with an angry face: "At the beginning of the year, you cut down two battalions of the army's recruit plan. Hmph, now the retribution is coming: there are only 500 people, and I don't think much. ”

After complaining about the short-sightedness of some people, Han Xiaobo raised one last question: "Assuming that our 'intervention army' goes all the way, these 500 people will land safely in the Tianjin Acropolis, which is the closest to the capital. So who will tell me, what are our strategic goals? ”

Looking at Han Xiaobo's glances from side to side, Foreign Minister Cai Feiming, who was sitting in the front row, coughed and said, "If you set the goal to get a few hundred...... It's better to have a thousand real Tartar heads, and then go to the capital to receive credit after the withdrawal of the Eight Banners? ”

"Sorry, that's hard to do." Han Xiaobo had a smile on his face, "I knew you would ask for this".

At this time, he walked to the side of the big display board and picked up the whip: "This is the first time that Houjin has entered the customs, and it is also called the road map of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners, please take a look." ”

After using the whip to draw a horizontal line between the capital and Shanhaiguan, Han Xiaobo continued: "Whether the Eight Banners attack or retreat this time, they are all along the line of Yongping, Zunhua, Jizhou, Tongzhou, and Beijing. And if you want to reach the above areas in the north from Tianjin, the nearest one is hundreds of miles. ”

When Han Xiaobo said this, he put down his whip and showed a gloating smile on his face: "Because you have cut down the army's military horse plan with great foresight before, none of our soldiers have received riding training. So don't expect the young men to drift from the sea to Tianjin, and when they get off the ship, they will instantly transform into a cavalry battalion, coming and going like the wind to dry the tartars. ”

"It's the 17th century, and there are no high-speed railways and concrete roads around Tianjin. It is necessary to let a mere 500 soldiers break away from the rear, march 100 miles on foot, and then find an opportunity to destroy a sufficient number of enemies, and then take the enemy's head and return to Tianjin under the encirclement and interception of thousands of Eight Banner cavalry...... I'm sorry, we can't do that. ”

When Han Xiaobo said this, he spread his hands: "In my opinion, except for the eight banners that are huddled in the Tianjin Acropolis and sent to death, there is no other way to use these 500 soldiers tactically that can be talked about reasonably." ”

A sarcastic smile appeared on his face: "There is hard work to harvest." If you don't raise soldiers in the early stage, when it's time to use them, you don't expect all soldiers to become Saiyans. ”

"Actually." Han Xiaobo finally concluded: "In the eyes of our army colleagues, this is a thorough military adventure. It is a criminal act of improvising, unprepared, and disregarding the conditions of the customer, and wanting to murder his own soldiers with many brains and brains! ”

When Han Xiaobo said this, his voice was full of emotion.
