Chapter 185: Annoyed

Originally, Zhang Cheng planned to let Xu Ziming stay in the headquarters for two days, and then transfer him to an infantry unit to garrison the rear. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't expect Wang Yan to tell Zhang Cheng that Xu Ziming kept complaining and complaining in the headquarters, and even sent a telegram to his home to complain about his dissatisfaction with Zhang Cheng. This naturally made Zhang Cheng's heart angry.

"Sir!" After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Xu Ziming stood up 'Teng'. There was a strong look of unwillingness in his eyes, "Why do you want to remove me from the battlefield!?" Who can guarantee victory on the battlefield?! I'm not convinced! ”

"You're not convinced?" Zhang Cheng stared at Xu Ziming with cold eyes: "What are you dissatisfied with?" The battle with absolute superiority makes you fight like this, and you are still not convinced? An entire armored division can't beat a broken and incomplete infantry regiment, and you still have the face to shout unconvinced? How did you graduate from Lu University? Well? ”

"When I graduated from Lu University, I was ranked seventh in the first class! I've taken the Golden Spike Sabre! Xu Ziming, whose face was flushed, widened his eyes and shouted loudly at the top of his throat.

"Click~" The door of the office was pushed open, and Xiao Hongbao, who was indifferent, walked in and looked at Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng waved his hand casually to let Xiao Hongbao leave, got up and came to the side of the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of whiskey and poured it for himself, raised his hand and took a sip, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he looked at Xu Ziming with a disdainful expression on his face, "Seventh?" Also the Golden Spike Sabre? Others don't know what's going on, but you don't know it yourself? Finding someone to ghostwrite the paper also opened up the relationship and let the tutor release the water. Xu Ziming, whose attendance rate was less than half when he was on the land, do you still have the face to mention this matter? ”

"You!" Xu Ziming angrily raised his hand at Zhang Cheng, his face was flushed with anger, and he gritted his teeth and couldn't speak.

Xu Ziming was a famous playboy when he was in the imperial capital, and it was common for him to miss classes for a long time and violate school discipline when he was at Lu University. Instead of writing a thesis, you can look up materials in the library and perform battle flag deductions. Xu Ziming likes nightclubs and parties more, and he likes to have fun with those movie stars. His results have been nothing short of disastrous.

A student who was in the bottom three in every semester's exam suddenly exploded into seventh place when he graduated, and he also took the Golden Spike Sabre? Who can believe this kind of thing if it is not boring? The Xu family's energy is very large, but it can't cover the sky with one hand in the army. The matter was quickly exposed, and almost everyone knew about it. Xu Ziming's teachers and some of the teachers who were responsible for graduation basically ended up retiring early. However, since Xu Ziming has graduated with his graduation certificate, he still climbs very quickly in the army with the help of the Xu family.

'Huh~~~' Xu Ziming let out a long sigh of relief, a touch of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Zhang Cheng, "I am the eldest son and heir to the title of Duke of Wei." You never thought that I would offend the entire Xu family by treating me like this? Don't think that if you have a little money and some power now, you really have a lot of power. You are still far from being in front of our Xu family! ”

"Neuropathy." Zhang Cheng shook his head and sat back. looked at Xu Ziming like a fool, "What era is this?" Still living with the old yellow calendar from hundreds of years ago? If your Xu family is really so, why aren't you the commander of the army now? What kind of big-tailed wolf do you have with me? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu has directly stripped you of your military status now?! ”

"Hello, you're good!" Xu Ziming, who is young and vigorous and has never suffered much in his life, looked at the guy in front of him who crawled out of the grassroots and achieved dazzling results. The anger in his heart had made him lose his reason and the self-cultivation he usually disguised, and he wanted to kill Zhang Cheng with one shot.

The power of the Xu family is very strong, and the accumulation of hundreds of years of inheritance is not covered, but it is definitely not up to what Xu Ziming said. If you want to deal with Zhang Cheng, you are bragging. Not to mention the dependence of Lord Shoufu, Zhang Cheng's military power and strong financial resources in his hands alone far exceeded the limit that the Xu family could challenge.

Take advantage of the tremendous opportunities presented by the new era of technological change, as well as the once-in-a-lifetime world war. The various arms companies under Zhang Cheng's name are completely making money every day. The speed at which it makes money is astonishing enough to make the family consortium with massive wealth blush to death. The dividends and profits of war are incomparable to those of any business.

What's more, Zhang Cheng himself also has heavy troops.

Although the Ming has a discussion. Yes, although there is an emperor, but the military power is not discussed. The hands of the will are not in the hands of the emperor. Most of the military power of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of the army headquarters, and in detail, it is in the hands of generals of all sizes. In addition, there are various forces such as the family consortium and the royal family who control the army in various names.

Among these forces, the most direct and effective are the front-line commanders. Especially in wartime, front-line commanders like Zhang Cheng are the owners of military power in the greatest sense. And Zhang Cheng is the most powerful general in the hands of the entire Ming Dynasty at this moment, except for General He Ziqiu who besieged Kazan.

As the commander of the Army Aviation, Zhang Cheng holds the entire powerful Army Aviation and several elite airborne divisions. As the director of the armored forces, Zhang Cheng has a strong influence on most of the armored forces. He took power in the Caucasus and then in Korea, and did not relinquish control of military power. Under the connivance of Lord Shoufu, intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Cheng was able to directly or indirectly affect as many as one million troops! Hundreds of years ago, this was enough strength for him to tear the earth and seal the king.

In addition to military power, Zhang Cheng is also very rich. Unlike those who like to hoard wealth. Most of Zhang Cheng's hands are cash, and he has not been stingy at all. Whether it is to win over and control the army or the administration, Zhang Cheng has always been a lot of money, as long as he is willing to take refuge in Zhang Cheng, money is not a problem at all. Zhang Cheng knows very well that money is only called money when it is spent, and it is just paper in his hand.

In this case, the Xu family, which has been inherited for a hundred years, is really not enough to see in front of Zhang Cheng.

"Let's go." Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes, waved his hand impatiently, "Find a relationship by yourself, go back to the imperial capital as a reserve." Continue to accompany your Xiao Ming. The stars play. The battlefield of men does not belong to you. ”

"Huh~~~" Xu Ziming's eyes showed a strong look of unwillingness and madness, and after gasping for a few breaths, he suddenly turned around and left Zhang Cheng's office, without even doing the most basic salute. Standing outside Zhang Cheng's office, looking at the headquarters where people came and went, Xu Ziming lowered his eyelids, and there was only endless anger left in his heart.

"I heard that your wife is quite beautiful? Or is it the first pear blossom of Pear Dai? After half a ring, Xu Ziming suddenly curled the corners of his mouth, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart: "If you don't give me a way to live, Lao Tzu will play with your daughter. Person! ”

Xu Ziming is the eldest son and heir of the Xu family, but the contemporary Duke of Wei, who is his father, is not just his son! What is the Xu family's biggest capital? It is a powerful influence in the army! Once he, Xu Ziming, was forcibly transferred to the reserves, it almost meant that he lost his inheritance! The heir to the Duke title of Wei must be a powerful figure in the army, otherwise the entire family would not agree to him inheriting this illustrious title. Military power is the greatest reliance of the Xu family for hundreds of years!

Xu Ziming will use all his connections and abilities to protect himself from being forcibly transferred to the reserves. This is in the best interest of his life. But whether he succeeds or not, his deep enmity with Zhang Cheng has already ended. Xu Ziming is still young, and his smooth life for so many years has long raised his heart very high. This time he was slapped in the face by Chi Guoguo, and more importantly, it threatened the most important thing in his life, and the young Xu Ziming now just wants Zhang Cheng to die immediately! As for whether he will become a mortal enemy with the high-ranking and powerful Zhang Cheng because of this, Xu Ziming, who grew up in a greenhouse, doesn't care about these at all.

Xu Ziming is very confident in himself. Whether it is appearance, figure or family demeanor, is it not easy to deal with a woman?

......

Zhang Cheng didn't care about Xu Ziming at all. For him, Xu Ziming is just a small role, even if it is the Xu family, it doesn't matter. In Zhang Cheng's eyes, only the increasing military power is the most important thing. After successfully taking the 11th Panzer Division, Zhang Cheng's eyes had shifted to the northern shore of the Mediterranean, which is known as the origin of European civilization.

Just a few days ago, after careful consideration and repeated calculations, as well as the fact that the two forces in the country are tilting against each other. Greece issued an official communiqué in which they accepted the invitation of the Ming Empire to formally join the military alliance with the Ming Empire.

In fact, Zhang Cheng also played a role in this matter. His victory in Tobruk stimulated the pro-Ming forces in Greece and became the last weight on the scales. After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Greece will face a terrible blow once it enters the war, and the loss of its own territory is almost inevitable.

And Zhang Cheng's victory on the other side of the Mediterranean led the Greeks to believe that the Ming could achieve the same final victory as the two world wars hundreds of years earlier. They gambled their national fortunes on Daming.

Shousuke-sama did not care about the safety of the Greeks themselves. For him, it was a diplomatic and political affair. Brilliant victory. As for Greece, it's nothing more than a consumable.

Soon, a completely new theater of operations, the Southern European theater of operations, was established. An old-school army general belonging to the Maison consortium was transferred to this theater to become the commander, commanding the troops of the Greek army and the Ming army to defend the Greek mainland.

While no one is optimistic about holding Greece, there is no ambiguity about what needs to be done. The Mediterranean Fleet sailed in full swing to escort a large number of transport ships. There is a constant stream of cargo ships between North Africa and Greece.

The powerful fleets of the European coalition did not dare to penetrate too far into the eastern Mediterranean under the threat of the Ming Navy, and they followed the army's operational distance.

In fact, this is also because warships are too valuable for European countries. The warships built by the whole country with frugality are incomparably precious. Unlike the wealthy Ming Dynasty, European countries with little capital attach great importance to the protection of warships.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Cheng naturally could not be indifferent. He also had a large number of troops and supplies directly transferred to Greece. This is also an important reason why he temporarily stopped on the front line of the port of Benghazi. (To be continued.) )
