Chapter 357: The Governor's Plan

When Zhang Qiru and Zhao Tianba arrived at the governor's office, the governor was discussing something with several high-ranking generals.

"Please go in and report, we need to see the Governor." Zhao Tianba said to the guards at the door.

"The Governor is in a meeting, and it's inconvenient to meet people!" The guard said.

"Go ahead, just say that there is a special person coming to him, and he will agree!" Zhao Tianba said with a smile.

"Alright then!" It seemed that Zhao Tianba's prestige here was very high, and the guards agreed to report it.

After a while the guards came out.

"The Governor let you in!" The guard said.

Zhao Tianba pushed open the door and walked into the office with Zhang Qiru. As soon as Zhang Qiru entered the office, he saw more than a dozen guys carrying generals sitting on the sofa, among which there were three first-level generals, who were the highest ranks in the current army, and the rest were second- or third-level generals, and it was estimated that the senior commanders of the entire Los Angeles base were here.

"Report!" Zhao Tianba saluted the report very well, Zhang Qiru could only roll his eyes and salute, after all, his identity is different now, so he can give the governor some face.

"You're here? Wait a minute! The Governor nodded and said.

"Mr. Governor, we have done our best, and now everyone in the entire Los Angeles base is working, but our supplies are almost out of stock, and now the base is almost running out of food!" A general glanced at Zhang Qiru, and then continued with what he had just said.

"We still have military reserves!" The Governor said emotionlessly.

"The military reserve cannot be moved!" The general immediately retorted.

"Yes, Governor, the military reserve is the last line of defense for the soldiers, and it must not be moved!" The other two generals followed suit.

"If you can't move, you have to move! Now less than a fifth of our fence has been built, and a fifth of the quality of the road is not guaranteed! At this rate, when will it take to complete the construction? The Governor shouted.

"Mr. Governor, we were against the construction of the city wall in the first place, and the cost was too great! The construction of our central area alone has consumed more than half of the manpower and material resources of the entire base, and the current base cannot support the construction of the outer area wall at all! The general said.

"How can we develop without facades? The day before yesterday, there was another small wave of corpses, don't you know? Without walls, how can the safety of the people be guaranteed? When the people are not safe, who will do the work? The Governor asked.

"Didn't we prevent it? Not much to lose either! The general retorted.

"Prevented? More than 4,000 people died and were also called guarded? All the grain and vegetables in our entire area have been polluted, so is it not a big loss? Or do you think the current Los Angeles base doesn't need to care about these losses? The Governor asked angrily.

"......" The general stopped talking, but it was obvious that he was not convinced.

"Who else is against it? If you have any opinions, let them know now! The Governor asked aloud.

"In any case, I will not agree to take out the reserve rations of our soldiers!" The general still voted against.

"So do we!" Two generals also objected.

Zhang Qiru saw this and already understood that the three generals were obviously in a group, and they didn't deal with the governor very well.

"We agree!" The rest of the generals expressed their support, and it seemed that they were all close associates of the governor.

"The minority obeys the majority!" The Governor said lightly.

"I'm not going to take out the soldiers' reserves! I will report this matter to the Military Council and wait for the Military Council to decide!" The three generals refused.

"It seems that you still don't know the rules of the Los Angeles base! Here, all you need to obey is the orders of the Los Angeles Base Management Committee! The Governor said, with an unmistakable tone in his words.

"We obey only the orders of the military council!" The three generals said.

"The Military Commission has long made arrangements to demand that all troops obey the arrangements of the resettlement bases or camps and carry out their work according to the actual conditions of the resettlement bases or camps! You're disobeying now! The Governor said solemnly.

"Report!" Zhang Qiru said suddenly.

A group of generals all turned their eyes to Zhang Qiru, and said in their hearts, why is this guy so blind, interrupting the governor's words at this time. But they soon changed from surprise to great surprise, for the governor did not show any signs of anger.

"What's the matter?" The Governor just asked lightly.

"May I have an opinion?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"Say it!" The Governor waved his hand and said.

"I don't agree to use military reserves!" Zhang Qiru said.

Zhao Tianba listened to Zhang Qiru's words, and was startled, thinking to himself, isn't this kid the governor's person?

"Why? Tell me about it! The Governor asked.

"Military reserve food is the guarantee of our soldiers, and it must not be used until the last resort, otherwise it will affect the mood of our soldiers! If our soldiers have worries, then their combat capability will decrease, and our bases will be in extreme danger! Zhang Qiru said.

"Then according to what you said, the military reserve cannot be moved?" The Governor asked.

"You can move at the last moment, but it's not the last moment!" Zhang Qiru replied.

"It's not the last moment, when is it?" The Governor asked.

"I don't know, but obviously not right now! The grain depots in our neighboring provinces have not yet been explored, and as long as one of the grain depots is still safe, our grain problem can be completely solved! Zhang Qiru said.

"You think we didn't think about it? But our troops can't travel long distances to the grain depots in other provinces and regions, and we can't afford to lose! "One of the generals said that he had been sent by the governor.

"That's when I didn't come back!" Zhang Qiru said lightly.

"Which part of you are?" A general looked at Zhang Qiru, with a somewhat familiar look.

"Captain of the field team, Zhang Qiru!" Zhang Qiru saluted and said calmly.

The discussion immediately began.

"Quiet!" The Governor said, then asked, "What do you have to do?" ”

"There are solutions, but it takes time, how much time do we have?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"Less than a month, otherwise we will have to use military reserves!" The Governor replied.

"Enough! However, I still have one more condition! Zhang Qiru said.

"On what terms?" The Governor asked.

"I hope to set up a special logistics organization for the Los Angeles base to be responsible for the logistics of the Los Angeles base!" Zhang Qiru said.

"It's not up to you to worry about this!" The three generals had already understood that Zhang Qiru was obviously helping the governor.

"Don't mean, who are you?" Zhang Qiru almost choked the first-class general to death with a word.

"I'm the head of the logistics department of the Los Angeles base!" The general said angrily.

"Oh, that's right." Zhang Qiru thought thoughtfully, "You can go to the central base to sue me, but as for whether you can live to see me being judged, it's hard to say!" ”

"You! Mr. Governor, this is a naked threat! How can we have such soldiers in our ranks? The general was furious.

"I'm sorry, although I'm a soldier, but I'm only thinking about the Los Angeles base, I saved the Los Angeles base, I don't know where the central base was at that time, if anyone dares to treat the Los Angeles base as a vassal of the central base today, they just can't get along with me, I don't care where he came from, I will never let it go!" Zhang Qiru said domineeringly.

"Xiao Zhang, don't be rude!" The Governor scolded.

Zhang Qiru really shut up.

"Xiao Zhang, I can understand your feelings, but don't forget your current identity, don't violate discipline, otherwise I will still punish you! Not an example! The Governor said.

"Yes, Governor!" Zhang Qiru replied.

"Alright, that's it! Let the field team search for the grain depot, and after success, establish its own logistics department at the Los Angeles base! The Governor said.

"Agreed!" Several generals agreed.

The three generals hesitated for a moment, looking at the current situation, the governor seemed to have decided, and they now had to bow their heads.

"Agreed......" The three of them had no choice but to agree.

There was nothing to discuss at the meeting, and the major generals left one after another, leaving only Zhang Qiru and the governor in the office.

"You're finally back!" The Governor was pleased.

"Uncle, you just came back and you counted me, it's too boring!" Zhang Qiru said with a smile.

"No way, there aren't many people I can trust here, I can always feel at ease when you come back!" The Governor laughed.

"Uncle, are we really short of food?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"Well, it's very scarce, I'm afraid this thing really needs you to do!" The Governor said.

"Oh well, I'll arrange it!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Well, isn't Los Angeles more than you imagined?" The Governor asked.

"It's okay, it's really going fast!" Zhang Qiru said.

"If you can build the exterior wall well, you can really have your own stable home!" The Governor said.

"How many people are there in L.A. now?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"More than 5 million civilians and 500,000 troops." The Governor said.

"So much?" Zhang Qiru asked in surprise.

"There are more central bases, and now there must be nearly 10 million." The Governor said.

"Can the food at the central base keep up?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"The territory is vast, and you can always afford to feed it!" The Governor laughed.

"Uncle, do you really want to build the Los Angeles base into the main base?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"Hmm. The central base can still support now because the population has not grown, but the population will always grow, and the central base will definitely not be able to support it at that time, and it can only be supported by other bases at that time. Rather than this, it is better to directly develop the Los Angeles base into the main base. Los Angeles is located in the Central Plains, all kinds of conditions are first-class, as long as we have a basic homeland now, the speed of development will soon go up, we will expand the territory little by little, and strive to surround the entire province! The Governor said.

"Well, uncle, your plan is a bit ...... It's a bit fierce! Zhang Qiru said with a smile.
