Chapter 44 Concurrently serves as Deputy Commander of the City Defense
Looking at Meng Jianbiao's restless look, Zhang Jingtao thought about it and decided to let her go, not only because Meng Jianbiao was his descendant, but most importantly, in addition to Meng Jianbiao, there were not a few people in other bases who learned Zhang Xiaofan's methods, and all of them had failed without exception.
Deputy Commander Lu Guangyi said; "You can't blame Commander Meng, Zhang Xiaofan's troops were all withdrawn from the 'Northern Defense Line', and they have been fighting fiercely with the Dire Armor Beast for many years, so they are naturally not afraid of the Dire Armor Beast, although we have many troops, most of them are building fortifications in the rear, and they naturally can't be compared. I have to train slowly, and I can't rush it. β
Seeing that someone gave the steps, Zhang Jingtao changed the topic; "So what now? Can't you go to the Linhe County base to grab it? β
Zhao Guanglu said; 'Let's not collect taxes!' Let the Linhe County base pay taxes. β
Someone soon retorted; "Collecting taxes? How much is appropriate? If you collect less, you can't solve the practical problem, and if you collect more, Zhang Xiaofan will definitely not come out, and he is saying that there are more than 100 cities in the Northwest Theater, and there is no reason why Linhe County will be collected. β
Zhao Guanglu said again; "Why is it not appropriate to collect taxes? Linhe County base has a lot of grain and naturally has to pay taxes, and other cities have less food naturally don't have to pay, besides, he Zhang Xiaofan is from outside here, without us to take him in, how can he have his current development, why doesn't he pay taxes? β
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jingtao frowned; "What nonsense is Minister Zhao talking about, what does it mean to be living here? What is a take-in? Zhang Xiaofan: What are they doing on the Northern Defense Line, you really don't know? Arranging a new station for them is what we should do, and there are still many troops from the front line in our theater of operations. In the end, Zhang Jingtao's expression was already a little violent.
Zhao Guanglu's words can be said to be a taboo, and now that the sources of troops in the Northwest Theater are complicated, and various forces are intertwined, the slightest inappropriate remark may cause a dispute, and it is no wonder that Zhang Jingtao is angry.
Looking at Zhao Guanglu's frightened face, Wang Changlin stood up, Wang Changlin was parachuted into the Northwest Theater by the central government, the main purpose was to deepen the control of local forces by the central government, he came to the Northwest Theater to be weak, Zhao Guanglu was one of the few people who showed kindness to her, and now seeing him make a fool of himself, Wang Changlin had to stand up and relieve the siege.
Wang Changlin coughed lightly and said; "It's really ugly to take compulsory means to collect taxes, if you take money to buy people and don't eat it, and now money is about the same as waste paper, then use the last means."
Everyone's eyes were on Wang Changlin, and they all wanted to know what the plan of this chief of staff who had parachuted in from Yanjing City was.
Wang Changlin said unhurriedly; "Now people roughly divide the city of Tongling into four parts. They are the wealthy area in the east of the city, the industrial area in the west of the city, the civilian area in the north of the city, and the military area in the south of the city where a large number of troops and their families are stationed. "It's not a formal administrative division, but it's true, so no one objects,
Wang Changlin looked at it for a while, and when he saw that no one objected, he continued; "But I think everyone knows that there is a place called the 'slum' between the industrial area in the west of the city and the civilian area in the north of the city. It's a place where gangs are rampant, law and order is chaotic, and most of the poorest people in Tongling live here, and this small area is home to about one-tenth of the city's population. β
Zhang Jingtao was a little unhappy; "What gangsters are rampant and law and order is chaotic, does it mean that I mismanaged it?"
Meng Jianbiao, the city defense commander of Xinweinan, had a face that turned black into pig liver.
Wang Changlin didn't seem to see all this, and continued; "Zhang Xiaofan rescued the genetic expert, it can be said that it is a great achievement to Tongling City, if it is not rewarded, it will be obvious that the rewards and punishments of our Northwest Theater are unknown, I propose to appoint Zhang Xiaofan as the deputy commander of the urban defense of Tongling City in the Northwest Theater, the main defense area is this piece, and it should be managed well. If you can't manage it well......" Wang Changlin didn't continue, but everyone understood what he meant, if Zhang Xiaofan didn't manage it well, the senior officials in the Northwest Theater had countless ways to make Zhang Xiaofan spit out all his food.
Everyone looked at Wang Changlin again, and there was already a deep fear in their eyes, sure enough, he was a person who came out of the central government, he didn't see much talent in the war, but the conspiracy and tricks came at hand, this kind of person must not be offended, and he didn't even know how he died if he accidentally died.
Zhang Jingtao's face was blue and red for a while, no one knew what he was thinking, Meng Jianbiao who was sitting next to him had a gloomy face that could drip water, as a dignified city defense commander, Wang Changlin's proposal was tantamount to dividing his power and cutting his flesh in his opinion.
Long. Zhang Jingtao sighed heavily and waved his hand; "That's it!"
This is Xiao Changgong asked; "What about the Linhe County base?"
Zhang Jingtao thought for a while and said; "It's better to let him take it at the same time, it's not good to take away the base that people have worked hard for, and then I'll hand it over to you, do you dare to go so far away from Tongling City?"
A group of senior officers lowered their heads one after another, and Zhang Jingtao said That's right, the Linhe County base is isolated overseas, too far away from other cities, once it encounters a large-scale attack by armored beasts, it will not be able to evacuate and will not be supported by other cities, so it can only be held alone, so if they really want to send them over, they really have to think about it.
The most difficult problem has been solved, and the rest of the things are relatively simple, or some clichΓ© things, what can be solved has long been solved, and what cannot be solved can not be solved except for prevarication, not everything can meet a wronged leader like Zhang Xiaofan.
After a long time, after all the things were dealt with, Zhang Jingtao still waved his trademark big hand to "end the meeting," and still left Meng Jianbiao behind.
After silently watching Meng Jianbiao for a long time, Zhang Jingtao sighed in his heart and said; "You're still too young, you lack experience, and all your thoughts are on your face."
Zhang Jingtao pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Meng Jianbiao to sit down, and then said; "Xiao Meng, I have a hard time doing this, I hope you understand."
Meng Jianbiao said; "Now that the food supply in Tongling City is so tight, I naturally know the reason why the commander did this, but the defense of Tongling City has always been our forbidden place, and now it is called an outsider."
Zhang Lintao said; "This is what I want to explain to you now, although I appointed Zhang Xiaofan as the deputy commander of the city defense, but his most important task is to maintain local law and order, even only to maintain that small piece of law and order, and he does not have to take care of other places, as for the city defense fortifications, army deployment, and material distribution, these internal matters of the army should not even be touched."
Meng Jianbiao was overjoyed; "Understand, I will hold the defense of Tongling City firmly in my hands. I won't let anyone touch it. β
Zhang Lintao added; "Also, Zhang Xiaofan is the deputy commander of the city defense appointed by me after all, I still have to do enough on the scene, and try not to snub him, as long as the requirements he puts forward are not too excessive, it is better to agree as much as possible if you can agree, understand?"
Meng Jianbiao responded; "Understood!"
"Okay, let's go down."
The commendation meeting held for Zhang Xiaofan and others was grand and warm, and the warm applause of hundreds of senior officers in the audience made even Zhang Xiaofan, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, a little overwhelmed.
No matter how steady and calm Zhang Xiaofan showed in the war with the dinosaur, Zhang Xiaofan was still a young man in his twenties after all, and in such a warm atmosphere, he still got the rank of major general that was not so easy to obtain even now, and it was normal for Zhang Xiaofan to have some small gaffes.
Looking at the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Theater who usually only asked him and had never seen him, now standing in front of him, and hanging a golden medal on his chest with a smile on his face, Zhang Xiaofan was inexplicably excited and had a small doubt in his heart, and as time went by, the doubts in Zhang Xiaofan's heart became bigger and bigger.
This style of painting doesn't seem to be right, what did he do Zhang Xiaofan knows in his heart, if Zhang Xiaofan used the evolution liquid sample of Zhenruo life in Tongling City, it is an urgent situation, and it is barely reasonable, he detained Xu Yuan purely unreasonable, he is ready to spend a huge price to calm the thunderous anger of the high-level in the Northwest Theater, but now the Northwest Theater seems to have forgotten that expert, first awarded Zhang Xiaofan the rank of major general, and then transferred him to the deputy commander of Tongchuan City's urban defense, and also let him concurrently serve as the position of Linhe County base, Seeing the meaningful smiles of these senior generals along the way, Zhang Xiaofan wondered for a while whether he was the illegitimate son of Zhang Lintao, commander-in-chief of the Northwest Theater of Operations.
Is he Zhang Jingtao's illegitimate son? Zhang Xiaofan can be sure that he is definitely not, if the other party had already admitted it, he would definitely not wait until now, so if something is abnormal, he must be a demon, what happened to him is not known? Zhang Xiaofan was puzzled, so much so that at the dinner after the meeting, Zhang Xiaofan also became more and more absent-minded and made frequent mistakes.
It wasn't until the next day, when Zhang Xiaofan personally came to inspect his jurisdiction, that he understood the conspiracy of Xinweinan City.
As soon as Zhang Xiaofan's vehicle entered the jurisdiction, a disgusting smell hit the pavement, and the driver hurriedly rolled up the window, to tell the truth, there was a scene he saw on the way to find Dong Sanchuan last time, Zhang Xiaofan came to be mentally prepared, but the scene in front of him still stunned him.
The whole street is full of garbage, sewage flows, rows of simple houses pave the whole road with cement, and people living in the open air are everywhere, they are all shaped like withered trees, like dead corpses, and the remaining half of the street is paved horizontally and vertically.
Zhang Xiaofan's driver pressed the horn of the off-road vehicle loudly, and the people in the middle of the road barely moved, and slowly moved to both sides of the road, and it took a long time to create a road that could be used by vehicles.
