Chapter 288: Searching for Talents
The establishment of a government is progressing steadily, but there is no news of anyone who understands the command of the fleet.
Although Liu Yi and the others entrusted various connections to help find them, how could such a person be so easy to find, even if there was such a person, people might not be willing to come to the remote place of Yaqiu.
Liu Yi thought to himself: "If you really can't find it, you can only promote Che Kuang to be the commander of the fleet." ”
However, although Che Kuang is very talented, he is always too young, and he does not have any experience in commanding the fleet, so Liu Yi is really a little uneasy to put such a big responsibility in his hands.
On this day, Liu Yi and the Provisional Committee finished their preparatory meeting, and while there was still some time before the next meeting, they hurried to the restaurant, intending to have something to eat.
The waiter had just brought up the things that Liu Yi had ordered, when a call request came. Liu Yi glanced at it and saw that it was sent by Lu Gang, so he immediately chose to agree.
Liu Yi put the holographic projection in front of him, and talked to Lu Gang while eating.
"Yo, you're eating." As soon as Lu Gang saw Liu Yi, he said with a smile.
While chewing the food, Liu Yi said in a muffled voice: "Lao Lu, what's the matter with you?" ”
Lu Gang replied: "You asked me to inquire about the people who know how to command the fleet, and now I finally have some eyebrows." ”
"What?" Hearing Lu Gang's words, Liu Yi was so excited that he almost squirted out the food in his mouth.
"Don't get excited, be careful of choking on you!" Lu Gang said with a smile.
Liu Yi hurriedly swallowed the contents of his mouth, and then said, "Tell me, who is it?" ”
Lu Gang said: "Don't worry, you listen to me tell you slowly." ”
"You say, I'll listen." Liu Yi hurriedly sat up straight, looking very serious.
"Here's the thing, after you told me about it last time, I found a lot of former colleagues and asked them to help me inquire about it." Lu Gang said unhurriedly: "You also know that although I am not a big official, after all, I have worked in many places, and I know a lot of people. ”
Liu Yi nodded and said, "That's right, did your colleague find out for you?" ”
"That's true." Lu Gang continued: "I asked hundreds of former colleagues to inquire for me, and they naturally also asked people, and they also asked a few people back and forth. ”
"Who is it? Where are they? Liu Yi asked impatiently.
"Among these people, there are a few active commanders and captains, and a few are retired veterans, I have sorted out the list, you can read it slowly." Lu Gang said.
"Where are they now, can you get in touch with them?"
"This ......" Lu Gang said with an embarrassed face: "I also tried it, and a few of them were able to get in touch, but they rejected it, and there are some I can't relate to, so I can only rely on you to figure out a way." ”
Liu Yi didn't thank him, nodded and thanked: "Okay, leave it to me, I will think of contacting them, thank you so much this time!" ”
Lu Gang said: "Why are you so polite to me, besides, I will have to rely on you to eat in the future, you will be my boss in the future, and it is not my duty to do this." ”
"Hey...... It's easy to say, when you come, I will definitely arrange a good position for you! Liu Yi promised with a smile.
At the end of the call, a new document that had not been consulted had arrived on Liu Yi's portable computer, and when he opened it, he saw that it was the list sent by Lu Gang.
There were more than a dozen names on the list, and Liu Yi looked at it carefully, but he didn't know any of them.
But this can't be blamed on Liu Yi, he is not familiar with the army, although he also has a military position, but there are always few people in the army.
Liu Yi thought to himself: "I don't know any of these people, if you rush to contact, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, it's better to investigate the information and background of these people first, in case there is something inappropriate, there is no need to contact." ”
The rest of the time was still a variety of meetings, and by the time all the meetings were over, it was already evening, and the sky outside was already dark.
Liu Yi returned to his room, lay on the bed and rested for a while, and suddenly remembered the list, so he had to get up again.
Liu Yi grabbed a helmet-like object from the cabinet, put it on his head, and connected it to his laptop.
This helmet is a brain nerve sensing device made by Tang Jie, which is used to connect Liu Yi with the clone system, which is more advanced than the previous headband.
After a while, Liu Yi activated the doppelganger system and asked the artificial intelligence to find the information of the dozen or so people from the Internet for him.
The power of the doppelganger system allowed it to search the Internet at a very fast speed, and after about an hour, the information of these dozen people was found one by one.
Liu Yi looked at the details of these people and found that Lu Gang's information was really inaccurate, several of them had died, and the contact information of several others had also changed, no wonder Lu Gang could not be contacted.
After Liu Yi's screening, several of the people Liu Yi thought were not suitable, and finally there were only three people left on the list.
Liu Yi thinks that there is no need to invite too many people to come now, he can only form a fleet, there are too many people to come, and it is useless to offend the other party in vain, as long as he can invite one of them, it is very good, not to mention whether people are willing to come is unknown.
"Tong Ao, Shao Mingyuan, Feng Kailong." Liu Yi silently read these three names, thinking, "I'll contact them tomorrow......"
Judging from the information searched, these three people are not young, they should be veterans who have served in the army for many years and then retired with honor.
However, there is one thing that makes Liu Yi feel strange, Tong Ao and Shao Mingyuan's information is very clear, including the army they have fought in, and the battles they have experienced are recorded in great detail, but Feng Kailong's information has many hidden details, and I don't know why.
This made Liu Yi pay more attention to the name Feng Kailong, and always felt that this person's identity was mysterious, and there seemed to be many mysteries waiting for Liu Yi to solve.
After resting all night, Liu Yi continued to be busy the next day, and when he finally had time to spake at noon, Liu Yi hurried to contact the three candidates he had circled.
The first person Liu Yi contacted was Tong Ao, and after a few minutes of waiting, the other party finally connected to the video call, only to see an old man with white hair appear in the video.
"Who are you? Is there something wrong with me? The white-haired old man came up and asked.
Liu Yi took a closer look at this person's appearance, and it seemed that he was older than in the information he found, and he didn't seem to be in good spirits.
"Hello, are you Mr. Tong Ao?" Liu Yi asked politely.
"That's right, I am, who are you?" Tong Ao's voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed to be a little weak.
Liu Yi saw that although Tong Ao's complexion was a little weak, he still retained a bit of the heroic spirit of his youth between his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that he is older, but the temperament of a soldier is still obvious, I wonder if he is willing to help me?" ”
So Liu Yi told Tong Ao about his situation and requests, trying to make his tone more sincere, hoping to impress the other party.
Tong Ao listened to Liu Yi's words, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and his wrinkles became deeper and deeper.
"Haha...... I didn't expect that at my age, someone would want to ask me to go out of the mountain to take charge of the fleet, I am really honored. Tong Ao smiled.
Seeing that Tong Ao did not reject him immediately, Liu Yi suddenly ignited hope in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "So Mr. Tong is willing to help me?" ”
Tong Ao shook his head and replied: "I am very grateful for your hospitality, but unfortunately, I am already old, and my energy has long been low, and letting me take charge of the fleet will only be a hindrance, so you better go find someone else." ”
Liu Yi is a person who gives up easily, although the other party politely refuses, but he always has to try again.
"Old sir, in fact, I am not asking you to lead the battle, but more importantly, to let you serve as a guide to help us build a strong fleet." Liu Yi said earnestly.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's true that I can't do anything anymore, and besides, I've been out of the army for many years, and I can't keep up with the situation for a long time. You'd better go find someone else sooner, lest you waste your time with me. Tong Ao waved his hand as he spoke, and without giving Liu Yi a chance to speak, he directly cut off the call.
Liu Yigang wanted to persuade a few more words, but there was no trace of the other party in the projection, and there was only a system interface left.
"Alas...... It's a pity ......," Liu Yi said with a sigh.
The setback at the beginning made Liu Yi a little less confident in the two people behind, Liu Yi felt that his fame was too small, and if it was him, I am afraid he would refuse immediately.
Liu Yi stood up, went outside to buy a bottle of beer, and adjusted his mood while drinking. Although he had expected that things would not go so smoothly, Liu Yi could only continue to try, and there was no other way than this, and he had to ask for someone else's share when he started his business.
A bottle of beer quickly poured into his stomach, and Liu Yi adjusted his mood and began to contact the second candidate.
The second person contacted by Liu Yi is Shao Mingyuan, judging from the information, this person has just retired, and he should be very familiar with the current mainstream warships and fleets, but the fly in the ointment is that this person does not seem to have experienced many battles, and he has not served as the main general.
Liu Yixin said: "Don't be too demanding at this time, it's very good to be able to invite people, if you ask for results again, it will be too serious to take yourself." ”
However, Liu Yi contacted several times, but the other party never accepted Liu Yi's call request, I don't know if he didn't want to pay attention to Liu Yi, or if there was something else to delay.
"Alas...... It's really unfavorable, the first one refuses to go out of the mountain, and the second refuses to accept the call, it seems that he can only find someone else......" Liu Yi thought a little dejectedly.
