At the beginning of May, the temperature has warmed up a lot, and although there is a slight chill, it has entered the early summer, and the fields everywhere are full of green.

A steamer strained Hangzhou Bay, and a tall young man wearing the uniform of an officer of the East China Army stepped out of the passenger ship, looking at the long-lost motherland, Liu Xiaoguo smiled.

He had been gone for almost three years since he was sent to the Arabian Peninsula in one or two years to provide military assistance to the Rashid family.

When he got off the passenger ship, the port he saw was very different from the port of Hangzhou three years ago, when most of the cargo loading and unloading in Hangzhou port relied on dock workers, but now most of them use mechanical loading and unloading.

And the city has changed a lot, he remembers that three years ago the tallest building near the pier was only four stories high, and now he has seen more than a dozen buildings with more than ten stories high.

The chairman of the committee once said that the building can show the level of a country to a certain extent. However, the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee also said that building a building will not make China rich, let alone make China strong.

Sitting in a taxi, Liu Xiaoguo chatted with the taxi master, talking about the house, the driver said: "The highest east building is the East China Building, 36 floors high, I heard that the chairman asked the East China Group to build, and the 36th floor is 66 Shun." It seems that this month will be capped and used, and this building has been booked by those large enterprises, such as Zhongsheng and Huasheng, and these groups are ready to move in. ”

"Thirty-six stories have been built!" Liu Xiaoguo couldn't help but be very surprised, for people in this era, a 36-story building is indeed very high.

This building is the first relatively large building that Xia Jun personally planned to build, and the decoration is not too high-end, but the location is good, and the design is mainly practical, the interior of the building looks very bright and comfortable, but the money spent is not much.

Since this building is named after East China, it is destined not to lose money.

Sure enough, before the construction of this building began, some companies booked some floors of the building, and the floor used by Huadong Group was planned to be on the sixth floor.

If the building can be rented out, then it can be profitable.

However, not every company can settle in, it must be a reputable and powerful enterprise to settle in, and more importantly, this building represents the business empire opened by Xia Jun.

This empire is dominated by the East China Group, Zhongsheng and Huasheng Group as the left and right protectors, plus a large group of younger brothers with good strength.

There are many advantages to moving to the same building, the first of which is that it is easy to communicate and can work together more efficiently.

The East China Building is located behind the administrative building of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, only 186 meters away from the administrative building, sitting north and facing south, before the construction not only invited a number of engineers to design, and finally selected a more satisfactory one, but also invited the feng shui master to choose the site.

When Liu Xiaoguo came to the administrative building, he saw a building behind the six-story administrative building that had been basically completed and was being completed.

That building is the East China Building, the six-storey administrative building, and the specifications of the decoration are too shabby compared to the East China Building behind.

However, even the 36-story building is not too high-end in terms of decoration, and now the East China Autonomous Government does not pay attention to luxury, but only to practicality.

Next to the administrative building is the military department building, which is a five-story building, and the number of floors when the military department building was built comes from the homonym of martial arts.

The chairman's office is located in the military department building, and Liu Xiaoguo's return to China this time is not to go home immediately, but to report to the chairman.

Liu Xiaoguo's mission in Rashid Arabia was basically completed, and a month ago the military headquarters had sent personnel to take over his post, and he was transferred back to China to prepare for a new assignment.

…… Xia Jun was studying the problems of Xinjiang Province in his office at this time, and since the beginning of the year, when the East China Autonomous Government sent a regiment of troops to Xinjiang Province to protect the Han people, the news from Xinjiang Province was not very good.

The Han people in Xinjiang Province have been slaughtered to only one-half, and the scope of their activities has been greatly reduced.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Xinjiang Province is the territory of China, but there are a large number of Han people in the Western Regions, but with the development of war, the Han people have been purged, the Song Dynasty when China's territory has been greatly reduced, and it is unable to take care of the Han people in the Western Regions, and the Ming Dynasty Xinjiang Province has not been recovered, and it was annexed by the Manchu Qing during the Qing Dynasty, and the Han people entered the Xinjiang Province again.

With the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the Han people in Xinjiang Province were once again purged.

In this way, the massacre occurred in the Qing Dynasty, and tens of millions of Han people were killed by the Hui people, and the Islam that these Hui people believed in was mostly evolved by the Han people, but they broke away from the ranks of the Han people, and have formed a new form and consciousness, and a new nation was born.

Even if the East China Autonomous Government sent 3,000 men to Xinjiang Province, it still did not succeed in curbing the massacre, and Xia Jun's instructions to the front-line troops were: "A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood." ”

The 3,000 East China Army went on a killing spree in Xinjiang Province, but the situation became even more turbulent.

"Principal, the students thought that the capital of Xinjiang Province was chaotic, not because the method was not correct enough, but because the troops and input were insufficient, and the three thousand people were scattered, and the density was so low that it was a mess." Liu Wenhong suggested to Xia Jun: "We should continue to send troops to Xinjiang Province, and organize military training for the Han people in Xinjiang Province, and issue weapons for self-protection." There is also a need for a dedicated area to focus on the problems there. ”

"Hmm!" Xia Jun nodded, "Now there must be an increase in troops, it is a matter of how many troops to increase, and who else will be in charge of the military command of this place?" ”

"Chairman of the Committee, Liu Xiaoguo came to report to the military department." At this time, Zhou Shunze walked in and reported to Xia Jun that as Xia Jun's guard captain, he also served as some secretaries, after all, Xia Jun was not equipped with professional secretaries now.

"Xiaoguo is back, but it's just in time." Xia Jun laughed, just now he was still thinking about who to send to Jingluo Province for the military, but Liu Xiaoguo was a good candidate, and said to Zhou Shunze: "Let him come in!" ”

After a while, Liu Xiaoguo walked into the office, only to see him staring at eye level, and saluted Xia Jun with a standard military salute, "Report to the principal, Liu Xiaoguo came to report." ”

"Hmmm! At ease. Xia Jun nodded and said, "Sit down!" ”

"Yes." Liu Xiaoguo sat down in his chair, looking forward to the chairman of the committee to transfer him to a new post, preferably to go to the Shandong battlefield, before he presided over the military aid mission in Rashid Arabia, for this reason he missed the battle against Shandong, if it was in China, he would definitely have a share, after all, he was a cadet of the first class of the East China Military Academy, and his grades were among the best.

"When you come back this time, you have a difficult task to be entrusted to you." Xia Jun was not verbose, and said directly to Liu Xiaoguo: "There are many rebels in Xinjiang Province now, and we have sent 3,000 soldiers to Xinjiang Province since the beginning of the year to protect the Han people, but because the troops are too small and the plan is not thorough enough, the effect is not good. ”

Xinjiang Province?

Not Shandong!

Liu Xiaoguo was a little depressed when he heard this, but the duty of a soldier is to obey, and after a little distraction, he listened very attentively to the chairman's explanation of the situation in Xinjiang Province.

"Now we need to increase our troops in Xinjiang Province and set up a special military area to protect the security and interests of the Han people, and at the same time, we will also use Xinjiang Province as a springboard to solve the problem of Xinjiang Province and prepare to solve the problem of Tibet Province at the same time." Xia Jun seemed to see Liu Xiaoguo's psychology and enlightened him: "The important surnames of Xinjiang Province are related to our national unity and stability, and they are also an important springboard for us to regain lost territory, so the important surnames are no less than the war." You have been in charge of the military aid program in the Arabian Peninsula for almost three years, and I think you should have more experience in this area than others, and you are also best suited to preside over military operations in the province. ”

Liu Xiaoguo couldn't help but get excited, as a soldier, his dream is to make meritorious contributions, and Xinjiang Province will obviously be his stage.

"Of course, if you don't want to go, it's nothing, and there is a shortage of manpower in Shandong, what is your opinion?" Xia Jun said to Liu Xiaoguo.

"Headmaster, my subordinates have no opinion." Liu Xiaoguo hurriedly said that going to Shandong to fight may not be more challenging than Xinjiang Province, after all, if he goes to the battlefield in Shandong, he will only serve as a division commander at most, and the combat tasks and so on are all arranged from above. If he goes to Xinjiang Province, it is different, where he can better play freely.

"Then do you have the confidence to solve the problem of Xinjiang Province?" Xia Jun asked him.

"Yes." Liu Xiaoguo replied without hesitation, in terms of force, there is no problem with the East China Army pacifying Xinjiang Province, only whether it can perfectly complete the goal.

"Okay, I'll give you half a month's vacation, you go home and spend time with your family, and take up your post immediately after half a month, and the military department will agree on the specific strategy and arrangements of Xinjiang Province within three days." Xia Jun nodded, very satisfied with Liu Xiaoguo's decisiveness.

Saying that, Xia Jun opened the drawer and looked for it, and soon he took out a red exquisite invitation, with a playful smile on his face, and said to Liu Xiaoguo: "In addition, you are not young, determine the family problem as soon as possible, and a man can be stable only when he has a family." ”

Liu Xiaoguo took the post handed to him by Xia Jun in confusion, opened it and looked at it.

This is a post about a tea party, which reminds Liu Xiaoguo that some classmates wrote to him that the average age of officers in the East China Army is less than twenty-five years old, so there are many singles, so the chairman's wife regularly organizes tea parties, and there are many single female comrades at the tea parties.

"Yes, Headmaster, try to be as efficient as possible." Liu Xiaoguo's face was a little red, and Xia Jun smiled: "But you can't be hasty, it's up to you to grasp it yourself!" ”

…… Liu Xiaoguo walked out of the military headquarters building with this invitation card with some ambiguous elements on the color, and was immediately full of fighting spirit.

He was indeed the eldest and it was time to settle the family, but he had been in the Arabian Peninsula for three years, and the women there were wrapped in turbans, which was completely unpalatable to his liking, and he did not find any ideal match.

This invitation is nothing, but it makes Liu Xiaoguo more grateful for the principal's cultivation grace.

I have to say that Xia Jun's means of gathering people's hearts are much better than Yuan Shikai's, he never uses money to entrap his subordinates, but he can make people's hearts firmly establish a system centered on him.
