"What? You're going to sell the old mechs in the fortress? ”

When Liu Yi told the officers of the fortress about his intentions, these people were once again stunned by Liu Yi.

"That's right, I've already seen it, some mecha are very old, even if they are not scrapped, they can be used for combat, it is better to sell them as soon as possible while they are still valuable." Liu Yi said calmly.

"But this is against the rules, and if it is known from above, it will send us all to court-martial." As Liu Yi expected, Ye Na was the first to stand up and object.

It is not surprising that Ye Na will have such a reaction, although Ye Na has a strong work ability, her personality is a little too serious and lacks the necessary flexibility, otherwise with her ability and qualifications, she should have become the chief of the fortress a long time ago.

"I don't know if this may be a violation of the regulations, but many armies are doing this now, otherwise it will be impossible to sustain themselves only by relying on the military funds allocated from above." Liu Yi said very bluntly.

In fact, these officers are not completely ignorant of these situations, but they are far away from the empire, and there is no backer from above, so no one dares to open this head.

"What if it's found out from above?" Ye Na asked.

"Don't worry, if we don't ask for money from the top in the future, they will only be happier. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the above really comes to investigate, you will say that you don't know, and I will bear all the responsibility. Liu Yi assured.

When everyone saw that Liu Yi had guaranteed the vote, it was not good to say anything against it, after all, Liu Yi did this for the sake of the fortress.

Ye Na was still a little worried, but she saw that everyone did not object, and it was useless for her to oppose alone. However, Ye Na didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, so she said: "Then let me state first, I don't participate in any of these things, and I just don't know what you do." ”

Liu Yi saw that Ye Na was against him in everything, although he was a little annoyed in his heart, but he also admired her character very much, if a person with this kind of character can be in a place suitable for her, he will definitely play a greater role, but it is a pity that she is staying in the imperial team, and this place has never been so clean.

"Well, you don't have to be involved in these things, but it's still necessary to listen to them, so that you don't get in the way of us later." Liu Yi said with a smile.

Ye Na listened to Liu Yi's words, and her face was so angry that her face turned red and white, but she couldn't say anything.

"I've already asked people to inspect the mechas, leave the ones that can be used, and the others will be eliminated, and the mecha I brought with me will be enough in the future." Liu Yi continued: "I plan to use the money from the sale of the mecha for trade, and I also want to use the fortress for ship maintenance business, so that I can increase some income for the fortress." ”

"But now we are short of manpower, just to cope with the daily work of the fortress is already very hard, and if we engage in trade and maintenance, I am afraid that there will be an even greater shortage of manpower." An officer said in embarrassment.

"I know these things, so I plan to let the soldiers concentrate on the daily work of the fortress, and my people will be responsible for the trade and maintenance, and all the money earned will go to the fortress's account, and I don't want a penny myself."

"That sounds like a good thing......"

"This won't increase the burden on the soldiers of the fortress, and it will increase the income, but it seems to be too much for the commander......"

The officers couldn't help but discuss, Liu Yi's method is a good thing that even a fool can see, but everyone thinks that this is taking advantage of Liu Yi, and it doesn't seem to sound good to say.

Ye Na listened to the method proposed by Liu Yi, and couldn't help but say again: "Using the airport of the fortress to carry out maintenance business is against the regulations, and the military port cannot be used for commercial purposes." ”

"It's easy to do, and we said above that we just charged some facility maintenance fees."

"But civilian ships are not allowed to enter military installations casually." Ye Na said righteously.

"Of course, they didn't enter the airport casually, they just entered the airport according to our requirements and were inspected." Liu Yi had already thought of an excuse, and immediately pushed Ye Na back.

Ye Na has been serving in the army for a long time, where will she be Liu Yi's opponent, she was overwhelmed by Liu Yi's words, and sat down in the chair with a snort, twisting her head to the side.

Everyone saw Ye Na collide with Liu Yi again and again, but she was pushed back every time, and they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. Emotionally speaking, everyone is undoubtedly close to Ye Na, but Liu Yi's approach is also for the sake of the fortress, if the two are not in harmony because of this, it will be difficult for others to be caught in the middle.

Fortunately, Liu Yi didn't take Ye Na's words to heart, in Liu Yi's opinion, Ye Na is too upright, such a person is not a threat to Liu Yi, at most it is a little annoying.

Liu Yi continued: "From tomorrow onwards, the soldiers will not have to worry about other things, and will give priority to the work of the soldiers, and try to get the defense of the fortress back on track as much as possible. ”

The work policy of the White Rock Fortress was thus decided, and then Liu Yi led a group of people to start inspecting the mechs in the fortress, screening out those that were already facing elimination, and preparing to sell them to weapons dealers.

After about a week, Liu Yi and the others cleared out about 60 mechs from the hangar that were about to be eliminated, loaded all these mechs onto the transport ship, and transported them back to Yaqiu to be handed over to the merchants who sold mechas.

These mechs brought about 10 million cash to the fortress, and prepared the capital for Liu Yi's next business.

Liu Yi used the money to purchase a batch of machinery and equipment, and then transported it back to the fortress by ship, and after some preparations, the ship maintenance business was carried out in this way.

The route guarded by the White Rock Fortress was frequented by merchant ships, which were mainly used for border trade, which was not comparable to the volume of trade within the Empire, but it was not insignificant.

Many of these merchant ships engaged in trade had to pass through the airspace controlled by the fortress, so Liu Yi sent warships to guard the route, and all ships that passed by were to be inspected.

The garrison of the fortress already had this duty, but in recent years the number of personnel has been decreasing, and the inspection has become more and more sloppy.

When Liu Yi arrived, this inspection was reinstated, and at the same time, a new requirement was put forward, that the merchant ships subject to inspection must enter the air port of the fortress, otherwise it would be regarded as evading inspection, and the battleships could open fire at any time.

Although the merchant ships were not satisfied with this new regulation, they did not dare to say anything, so they could only obediently sail their ships into the air harbor of the fortress and be inspected by the garrison.

During the inspection, the fort's maintenance personnel took the opportunity to persuade the merchant ships to repair and replenish them.

At first, these merchant ships didn't buy it at all, even if the maintenance personnel wore out their mouths. These merchants are all very shrewd, lest they will be slaughtered if they make repairs here, no matter what you say.

Seeing that these ship owners couldn't move, the maintenance personnel had to come and tell Liu Yi, "Chief Chief, these people are unwilling to repair no matter what they say, we have no choice, what do you think?" ”

At this time, Liu Yi was discussing things with Ye Na, and when he heard that no one was willing to repair it, Ye Na had a look on her face waiting to see the joke.

Liu Yixin said: "You want to see my jokes, right?" It's a pity you're still too tender......"

Seeing that Liu Yi thought for a moment, he said into the communicator: "Someone, call the officer on duty who is in charge of the inspection, I have something to tell him." ”

Liu Yi's orderly immediately connected with the officer on duty and conveyed Liu Yi's order.

Ten minutes later, the officer on duty came to Liu Yi's office, and after entering the door, he gave a military salute and said, "Report!" In the Marine Corps, Bai Xiaoguang, commander of the first company of the third battalion, came to report. ”

Liu Yi nodded and said, "It's your company who is in charge of checking today?" ”

"Yes, sir." Bai Xiaoguang replied seriously.

"How's the inspection going?"

"It's almost over, just a few last tests."

Liu Yi looked at Ye Na, and then said to Bai Xiaoguang: "You make the inspection longer, and delay it for me for a while." ”

"Sir, what does that mean?" Bai Xiaoguang asked puzzled.

Ye Na also had the same question, and like Bai Xiaoguang, she looked at Liu Yi with a puzzled gaze.

Liu Yi sank his face and said: "This is an order, you just carry it out, don't ask if you shouldn't ask!" ”

Bai Xiaoguang didn't dare to say anything else, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, the subordinates must carry out the order!" ”

"Go ahead." Liu Yi waved his hand, Bai Xiaoguang saluted again, and hurriedly exited the office.

After Bai Xiaoguang left, the foreman of the maintenance personnel cautiously asked, "Chief Executive, what do you mean by this?" ”

Liu Yi smiled: "Look, they will beg you to help repair it, and when the time comes, just tell me, go to work." ”

The maintenance staff didn't dare to ask more, so they agreed and left, while Ye Na looked at Liu Yi's actions and didn't understand what he was going to do.

"Why do you want the inspectors to delay and let these ships leave earlier, otherwise there will be a blockage if there are too many ships in the airport." Ye Na finally couldn't help but say.

"If you delay time, these businessmen should know that they can't leave without repairing the ship, and I am also thinking about their safety." Liu Yi said unashamedly.

Hearing this, Ye Na understood Liu Yi's intentions, and couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in her heart, and said secretly: "It's shameless to force others to repair ships like this!" ”

Liu Yi seemed to see through Ye Na's heart, and said with a smile: "I know you look down on such behavior, but our maintenance business has just started, and we can only take such measures before they know the benefits of this business." ”

Ye Na shook her head and said, "Even if it is to promote our business, we shouldn't use such shameless means, others will scold us for buying and selling behind our backs!" ”

"What are you afraid of when you scold a few words, as long as you can make the business develop, you won't lose a piece of meat if you scold, let them scold it." Liu Yi said nonchalantly.

"Don't forget, you're the chief of the fortress, not the merchants!" Ye Na couldn't suppress her anger and said loudly.
