Chapter 217: Waves Converge (2)
"Commander Su, it's been almost half a month since I was transferred from the General Staff to the Praetorian Guard, is there anything you are not used to?"
Liu Qianhua had something to say, and Su Mengxin, who had been serving the two generations of the Liu family for more than 20 years, calmly responded: "Everywhere is for the emperor, it doesn't matter if you are used to it or not. β
"That's good, now the main force of the Praetorian Guard is on the front line, except for the Yulin Regiment that has been guarding the imperial city all year round, there are only two newly established teaching and assault divisions, plus a standing fat cavalry brigade, once something happens, the far water can't save the near fire - the burden on your body is not light."
Su Mengxin straightened his chest and said: "As long as the emperor gives an order, even if the minister goes to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, he will not give up." β
Liu Qianhua raised her eyes and stared at him, and her words were soft and firm: "I don't want you to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, as long as you have the bottom in your heart, when necessary, even if I can't give an order, you know what to do." β
Su Mengxin was also unambiguous: "The minister has his own measure. β
Liu Qianhua nodded reassuringly: "You go down first-Wu Haisong, Liang Gensheng, you two get closer and talk." β
The two of them stepped forward at the same time, and after getting closer to the stand, the difference in body shape became more obvious: Wu Haisong was tall and burly with bulging muscles, and Liang Gensheng was not tall but lean and powerful.
But in terms of appearance, Wu Haisong's edges and corners are too distinct, like a knife and axe, and often reveals a strange uncle-style obscenity, in contrast, Liang Gensheng's bad boy-style chic and handsome is obviously more favored by women.
"How? Wu Haisong, half a month has passed, do you feel a little bit of it? β
Hearing the empress ask with such concern, Wu Haisong was slightly embarrassed: "Your Majesty, you know what you know, I have been engaged in intelligence in the Reference Office for ten years before, and suddenly asked me to build a new division, and I am still a teacher, and I will be there for a while." I can't turn a corner. β
"It is an expansion on the basis of the Praetorian Guard Teaching Brigade, not a new one."
Liu Qianhua corrected mercilessly.
Wu Haisong smiled bitterly: "This is not much different from the new construction, the Praetorian Guard Teaching Brigade originally had four battalions, one infantry, one for the engineer, one for the cavalry, and one for the artillery." The Praetorian Guard instructor is now set up with one infantry, one engineer and one artillery training regiment, plus one armor, air defense, cavalry, baggage, and gendarmerie training battalion. The entire 17 battalions are not counting a large basket of regimental headquarters and divisional headquarters. There are barracks, venues, equipment, personnel, mules, horses, and vehicles, and the documents are piled up higher than a mountain, and from time to time the national defense headquarters comes to get stuck again, which is much more troublesome than engaging in intelligence. β
"Regret it?"
"Trouble is trouble, but it's better than staying at the reference office to see people's faces, that is, please ask the emperor to have time to say hello and give more green lights in case of trouble. So that the minister can complete the task as soon as possible. β
Liu Qianhua raised the palace fan and nodded her forehead, her tone was half complaining and half urging: "If I can solve it by saying hello, then what are I sending you to do?" Besides, your mission is more than that, don't make excuses to be lazy, this Praetorian Guardian's station is around the garden, and I will have a surprise inspection on a whim one day, don't complain that I didn't say hello. β
Wu Haisong hurriedly put away his bitter water. Respectfully bowed his head and said: "Yes, the minister must live up to the emperor's high expectations." β
Liu Qianhua's eyes turned slightly: "Liang Gensheng." You took office at the same time as him, what difficulties do you have on your side? β
"I want to transfer all the brothers from the Ninth Wing of the Special Service, but the army side won't let go, and as for other difficulties, it's not a problem for me."
Liang Gensheng also admitted frankly that the Ninth Special Service Wing of the Army Aviation Corps was the only airborne special forces unit in the empire he created. In Hawaii, Malaya, Irkutsk, and the recent Battle of Orenburg, he personally led his troops to attack each time, and formed a blood-cried friendship with the officers and men under his command.
Liu Qianhua was very clear about his thoughts. But he couldn't give him any promises, so he had to respond seemingly equally: "I haven't been able to show my head lately, if you have any difficulties, try to figure out your own way." As for the matter of the Ninth Wing of the Special Forces, you can find an opportunity to mention it to the Regent, but you are not allowed to use your brains in the name of me, do what you like, and try to contact the concept of an independent air force, maybe it will be done. β
"Emperor Xie pointed out, there is no problem with the minister."
Liang Gensheng seemed to be content, but Liu Qianhua refused to let him go like this, and angrily snorted towards a corridor leading to the lakeside Yan Pavilion: "You have no problem, but I still have a task for you - go to the end of the corridor over there, there is an attendant military attache waiting for you in the attic, and she will tell you the details." β
"Obey."
Her Majesty the Empress of the Imperial Empire actually matched a married man and an unmarried woman, is this out of sympathy or malice? Or is it just ...... Miss......
The palace fan waved unnaturally and nervously, as if it could wave away the ever-expanding thoughts in his heart, but the ritual had to continue, Qian Hua blinked, his gaze passed through the gap between Wu Haisong and Liang Gensheng, and cast his gaze on the middle-aged soldier with bright eyes and slender body behind them.
"You two go down firstβthe brigade commander Zhang in the back, take two steps forward and speak."
With a will, Zhang Xinyu, who had a fierce face, stepped forward with a pair of brand-new shiny knee-length riding boots and walked forward respectfully.
After the imperial coup led by Yang Zhengjin, pulling Zhang Xinyu, who was Yang Zhengjin's brother-in-law, into the Praetorian Guard was not just a gesture for Liu Qianhua, but also some kind of compromise.
"It's better to be famous than to meet, I keep all your affairs in mind."
Liu Qianhua's enthusiasm made Zhang Xinyu, who was a year older, embarrassed.
"Thanks to the emperor's letter, the minister is honored to ......"
"As far as I know, during the Battle of Hejian last year, you, as the commander of the 29th Cavalry Brigade, were ordered by Lieutenant General Xiao Bin, then the commander of the advancing troops, to be stripped of your military rank in the Alyeysk encirclement and sent to the front-line trenches as a private. It is really incomprehensible to me that such a groundless abuse of power was later recognized by your brother-in-law, Premier Yang. β
Liu Qianhua told the truth, and Zhang Xinyu, who knew that he was killed by Yang Zhengjin and ruthlessly sacrificed, had to protect the face of the prime minister's brother-in-law against his will: "The prime minister also had to do it as a last resort in order to stabilize the morale of the army at that time...... Compared with the great cause of the empire, the personal honor and disgrace of the ministers are really not worth mentioning. β
Seeing the entanglement in Zhang Xinyu's eyes, Liu Qianhua also stopped, and took advantage of the situation: "It's good that you have this heart, in fact, what I remember the most is that you saved those Russian girls from the hands of the rebels later." β
Zhang Xinyu said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, those so-called chaotic soldiers are a handful of scum in the army who harm civilians under the banner of appeasement, and the unspoken rules in the army that have long covered up their ugliness and corruption are the strong backing for such scum to trample on military discipline and act recklessly. β
"I've read your testimony and stabbed a lot of people in the face, but because of this, it's not easy to walk in the army, right?"
In Liu Qianhua's view, Zhang Xinyu, who is righteous and outspoken, is already an abandoned son of the military department.
"The minister is worthy of his conscience, so he doesn't care about ups and downs. The minister believes that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and the sky has its own judgment. β
Zhang Xinyu's eyes were like iron, and his expression was resolute.
Liu Qianhua said that this middle-aged man, who is still single, has suffered as much setbacks and pressure as she has suffered recently.
"I hope that your sky is the same thing as my sky...... By the way, I have a maid Zhang here, and I have a relationship with Brigade Commander Zhang, and I often want to see you again recently, so you should give me a face and fulfill her. β
