ACT235: Imperial New Army
When Mengzong had just transplanted the jade of the ancient sages, Lingzong, who had not yet passed away, was once worried that his baby daughter was too young to convince the public, and Li Tizheng was inexperienced in the struggle, so he was taken advantage of by some treacherous people to control the court.
At the beginning, the most desired heir of Lingzong was Li Ti, the king of Gang, who had excellent qualifications, and if he obtained the wisdom of the emperor in the jade of the ancient sages, he would definitely be able to strengthen his wings. But Li Ti's compatibility is the worst of all the princes, if he is implanted with the jade of the ancient sage, he will follow in the footsteps of the Spirit Sect in less than 10 years.
Regarding Lingzong's concern, Zhao Jian, who was on the edge of Lingzong's sickbed at that time, took the initiative to offer a plan!
As a result, Datang began a secret "idolization of the empress" plan!
Zhao Jian, who has experienced the Internet information age in later generations, understands that ordinary people will always be blind, and the more people there are, the weaker the individual's judgment will be, so they only believe what they want to believe, as long as the official can control the mouthpiece of the media, it is very easy to incite or guide.
In Zhao Jian's opinion, if Mengzong wants to increase the support of the people, the best way is not to use his slow governance, but to use his sweet and lovely appearance to capture the hearts of the people! Take some color photos of cute people who don't pay for their lives, and use official media to promote and sell them, which can not only quickly gather popularity, but also make money to subsidize financial income!
Zhao Jian, who said this at the time, didn't know that 3 years later, the royal family relied on the money from the sale of photo albums to purchase 5 battleships and 10 large aircraft carriers for the navy in one go. Of course! That's all for later!
In addition to the propaganda agency used by the royal family, Zhao Jian's Garment Co., Ltd. also provided great assistance. Like the gold dress that Meng Zong is wearing now, it is from the Zhao family's design team. This children's clothing is based on Hanfu, integrated with Western gothic design, paired with white silk over-the-knee socks and open-toed sandals, which can instantly bring a super nirvana to the LOLI control group!
Sitting on the carpet in a kneeling position, Zhao Jian faced Meng Zong's "dragon pattern underwear" with a stern expression. The Empress obviously didn't know, because of the relationship between the heightened Taishi chair and her cross-legged sitting posture. has already allowed Zhao Jian to see some "royal secrets" that are not suitable for publication. And in order to avoid being slashed all over the house, Zhao Jian is trying not to show his YD expression.
"Your Majesty, why did you summon Weichen?"
"I ...... Yes, I am! I'm coming to you this time to find out how your strategic intervention is doing. ”
"The blessing of the toma, a qiē progress shun lì! The personnel are still being trained and are expected to be officially put into use in early May. ”
"Excellent! So the second question, what is the relationship between you and General Huang? ”
"Huh?"
Coldly asked such a question by Meng Zong, Zhao Jian was stunned for a moment! And Meng Zong jumped off the Taishi chair and walked in front of him. Poked Zhao Jian's head with his immature little finger and asked.
"Say it! Don't try to pretend to be stupid, or I'll punish you for a crime of deception! ”
"Uh...... Your Majesty, you should know that General Huang is not actually human, right? ”
"Humph! Of course I know, but it's because I know that I feel ...... Suspicious. A few days ago, I was worried about the candidate for the leader of the new army, and Sister Huang actually recommended your name to me, which is a big fat difference, and she is obviously favoring you. Say it, say it, say it......"
“……”
Looking at Meng Zong, who was full of curiosity, Zhao Jianxin said, "Is it really okay for you to gossip like this?" But he's curious now, too. What is this "new army" that Meng Zong is talking about? As for the Yellow Emperor helping him find a job, he probably wanted to repay the "favor" he owed.
In the face of Mengzong's continuous questioning, Zhao Jian looked embarrassed, but fortunately, Li Ti on the side came over in time to relieve him.
"Alright. Younger sister! General Huang should have recommended him to you because of Senior Brother Zhao's competent ability. Zhao Xuedi has rich experience in overseas activities, and he has handled Ethiopia and Spain quite well on both occasions, and he has not been involved too much. and for the benefit of the country, it may not be so measured to be done by someone else. ”
Pulling Meng Zong back to the Taishi chair, Li Ti explained to Zhao Jian about this "new army".
The so-called New Army. In fact, it is a "mercenary group" specially established by Datang to carry out military activities abroad. On the surface, it has no direct relationship with the official Datang Dynasty, but it can be remotely controlled to do things for the empire. In the next few years, the Tang Army will undergo the largest reorganization in history, which will take quite a long time, and in order to fade out of the international community's vision, the top management will also follow the 21 Tang Day Rules, and will not let a single soldier of the regular army step out of the Jupiter Domain.
But the interests of the empire cannot all be in front of you, and overseas interference forces must also exist and be useful at critical moments, so Meng Zong wants to build a new army composed of "temporary workers"!
Originally, this work should have been taken care of by the agent organization, and it was the intention of the Spirit Sect to authorize Dai Li to set up this department in the first place. However, Dai Li's specialization in espionage and assassination, his lack of military talent, and his frequent defeats in recent encounters with mysterious organizations meant that the commander of the new army had to find another candidate.
"Senior Brother Zhao, Your Majesty and I both believe that you have the ability to be qualified for this position. It just so happens that your new mission this time is to go to the Shattered Star Zone. You can try to lay a foundation over there, and the country will support you! ”
"So what kind of help can I get?"
"The empire of funds and weapons and equipment can provide you with funds, but you have to figure it out by yourself when it comes to people. In addition, His Majesty and I both believe that the strength of this new army should be mainly foreigners. ”
"In this way, if something goes wrong, you can rest assured and boldly abandon it, right?" Zhao Jian teased.
"It's a bit excessive, but it's true, but we'll try to avoid it."
"Generally speaking, Wei Chen understands, that is, let me go to the Shattered Star Region to develop a 'usable army', right?"
"Yes, and you also have to keep an eye on that mysterious organization in the Shattered Star Zone, and we believe that they must have a lot of potential there. When my father was still alive, he once said that the greatest threat to human society is neither Nazism nor communism, but the 'mastermind' who has been provoking wars between human beings for thousands of years. If they are allowed to continue to cause trouble to the world, then sooner or later, my Tang Empire will fall into a situation where it is impossible to even be alone! (To be continued......)
