Yuan Zhicheng smiled and said, "The promotion from a school officer to a general is a recognition of your ability and merits. I know that you have a lot of opinions about me, that I am old and mediocre, that I am vague on many issues, and that you deliberately suppress young officers like you...... Hehe, that's actually quite normal. It's not just you, many people have similar opinions. I can't explain much about this, but I can only say: in his position, he must seek his own government. ”

Su Hao felt his heart shake slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

These words are very sincere and reasonable. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Su Hao would really have found it hard to believe that this kind old man in front of him was actually Yuan Zhicheng who wanted to kill him in the future world

"You're too humble."

A sincere smile appeared on Su Hao's face: "Everyone will look at the problem from the perspective of their own benefit. Me too. ”

"yes"

Yuan Zhicheng obviously agreed with Su Hao's statement. He stretched out the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and smiled: "Everyone's quality will be uneven, just like those unsuccessful boys in our family, their eyes are higher than the sky, and they always feel that there is nothing they can't do." When they were at the new Chengdu base, they caused you a lot of trouble, and I only learned about it later. You are all young people, and your conscious thinking is much more flexible than that of an old guy like me, and although there are differences in how you look at things, there will certainly be similarities. What do you think? ”

Su Hao nodded again and again with a smile, agreeing with Yuan Zhicheng's statement.

Is it goodwill?

Is it wooing?

Or, or something else?

Faintly, Su Hao only felt a little confused. He didn't understand why Yuan Zhicheng wanted to say this to himself? If it's to cover up the opening remarks on the main topic, then it's too much.

Yuan Zhicheng stared at Su Hao with blazing eyes, and his long and far-reaching gaze was really elusive in Su Hao's eyes

"Wang Qinian said, the formula of the energy potion is here. I also think you're easier to deal with than that fat old guy. At least, you're not as mean as he is, and you're not as cunning as him. ”

Yuan Zhicheng was still smiling heartily, but his tone of voice unconsciously changed. He shifted his body forward and said, "I know you're in a terrible situation right now. You're also going to want to take advantage of me. I'm a person who doesn't like to take things off, and I'm only interested in what I like. Say, what do you want? ”

Su Hao smiled faintly.

This smile was a little helpless, but it was definitely not a cover-up, but Su Hao's natural emotional outpouring at this moment.

He found that there was indeed an incomparable gap between him and Yuan Zhicheng. Although he has the advantage of decades of age and experience in the future world, when facing such old and spicy politicians and military bigwigs, he is obviously inferior in terms of language skills and control of the pace of conversation.

Just like now, it is clear that the other party has asked for him, but on the contrary, he has become the one who asks for charity.

Of course, this is just a process, and it does not represent the final result.

"I need food."

Thinking about this clearly, Su Hao raised his head, cleared his throat, with a smile, his eyes wandered, and said flatly: "The Eleventh Independent Force has never received supplies since it left the New Nanyang Base. Hundreds of thousands of civilians have gathered around the new Guiyang base, and they need to ...... every day"

"Tell me the exact number."

Before Su Hao finished speaking, Yuan Zhicheng had already waved his hand and interrupted him: "I'm not interested in the cause and effect. Can you just tell me what kind of chips are needed to make this exchange? ”

Very straightforward and exceptionally clear. Yu Crisp's flat tone made Su Hao a little confused.

He quickly adjusts his emotions and clears his mind from the shock and returns to normalcy.

"I need three million tons of food. Grain, meat, and dehydrated vegetables each account for one-third. ”

Su Hao spoke quickly. Without waiting for Yuan Zhicheng to reply to this, he has already crossed the classification item of "food" and put forward more requirements.

"In addition, I also need to meet the needs of 500,000 people for three courses of antibiotics, 300,000 bottles of chewable vitamins (military standard), 50,000 military tents, and 300,000 sets of bedding."

Yuan Zhicheng still had a smile on his old face, but his eyes were slightly displeased. He really didn't want to waste time on these issues, but he didn't expect Su Hao to seize the opportunity to open his mouth.

He knew that Su Hao was short of food, but he didn't expect Su Hao to put forward the huge figure of three million tons. Of course, with the strength of the Northern Military District, it is not impossible to get it, but this is too far from the expected number. What's more, Su Hao also proposed a list of materials including medicines and clothing.

"Are you kidding?"

Yuan Zhicheng's expression was easy-going, as if he just said casually: "Three million tons? The amount of fuel consumed for transportation alone is an extremely large number. Clothing, tents, medicines...... General Su, I know that when you left the new Nanyang base, you made a lot of money. Why, you spent all of that stuff? Or is it because of poor management, all of them are moldy and spoiled into garbage? ”

Su Hao smiled and replied calmly: "Three hundred thousand civilians need to consume a lot of food every day. The construction of the new Guiyang base requires a lot of labor. I'll have to keep them until Base City is completed. There is no resource output here, and it takes time for a closed farm to go from being put into use to being productive. Moreover, the roads in the surrounding area are blocked, but more refugees continue to come...... Hehe, I don't know why this situation will occur. I'm a soft-hearted person, and the last thing I can do is watch others starve. That's my biggest flaw, it's really hard to get rid of. ”

Yuan Zhicheng frowned slightly. Su Hao's words were too contrived, which also made him a little crying and laughing. I thought it was easy to solve the problem, but because of my attitude, it was particularly troublesome.

"It can't be."

Yuan Zhicheng categorically rejected Su Hao's request: "Three million tons of food, including clothing and medicines, will require as many as tens of thousands of trucks for transportation capacity alone." Even if it's from your nearest base in Xi'an, it will take a lot of time. The entire shipping process is likely to continue into next year. It's just too slow. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not done yet."

Su Hao's smiling pupils have never changed at all, his eyes are clear, full of incomparable sincerity and truth, his attitude is respectful, and his tone is humble, which is completely in line with the attitude that subordinates should have when they are superiors.

"When the 11th Independent Army evacuated the new Nanyang base city, it suffered great losses. According to the latest order issued by the military department, we must be responsible for all combat missions in the abandoned city of Guiyang. At present, there are only more than 30,000 key combat personnel of the 11th Independent Army, and we lack weapons and equipment, ammunition reserves are seriously insufficient, and in addition there is a serious shortage of troops, we are simply unable to launch an attack on the abandoned city of Guiyang. It would be great if you could help us with this. ”

Looking at Su Hao's handsome face with a charming smile, Yuan Zhicheng rubbed his hands vigorously in a position that the screen could not reach, his fat cheeks covered his gnashing of teeth, his face no longer had a smile, and his expression became calm and indifferent.

Food and various military supplies were the bargaining chips that Yuan Zhicheng had anticipated before the conversation. But he didn't expect Su Hao to be so greedy, in addition to the huge and amazing number, the other party obviously had more requirements than he expected.

He exhaled hard and said in a sullen voice, "I don't like to be vague, be specific, don't go around the bush with me." ”

"New Guiyang is a base city under construction. As long as you survive this time, you will soon be self-sufficient. ”

Now that the other party has already expressed his attitude, Su Hao is no longer secretive: "The Eleventh Independent Army is only a division-level unit, and it is difficult to be competent for the comprehensive attack and defense of the abandoned city of Guiyang. I need a larger number of combatants. Of course, the practice of transferring troops from other theaters is not advisable and is prone to criticism. The best way to do this is to set up a new group army based on the new Guiyang base. ”

Yuan Zhicheng fell into complete silence.

He suddenly found that Su Hao was not as easy to deal with as he imagined. This young kid is simply insatiable, and he is obviously the best prop for the energy potion formula in exchange for profit. From materials to equipment, from personnel to establishment, I don't want to let go of anything. This guy is simply a bastard who is more of a bastard than Wang Qinian. The fat dean will more or less cover up because of his ugly appearance, and Su Hao is simply unscrupulous. Damn, he doesn't want to think about it, is it possible to have a whole group army?

The military establishment after the Black Age was very different from that in peacetime. Before the outbreak of the virus, the construction direction of the armed forces of various countries was biased towards firepower output, high mobility, and informatization, and the strength of elite and powerful special combat forces was the mainstay. The emergence of the fortifying agent has completely broken the original pattern, and division-level combat units have become regional combat units, and the number of soldiers has also increased from several thousand at the brigade level in the past to about 20,000. The reason for this change was, of course, due to the lack of artillery support, which had to be supplemented by an increase in the number of combat leaders. On the other hand, however, is it not a means for the commanders of the various armies to change their direction and increase their own strength?

According to the established establishment, a group army has five to 12 divisions under its jurisdiction, and the number of soldiers is about 10 to 200,000. However, this is only for the regular combat personnel on the staff, and if we add additional units such as reserve strength, supplementary training institutions, and logistics production, the specific number of personnel will be even higher, and even exceed the combat strength by three to six times.

Yuan Zhicheng stared at Su Hao, his eyes were as cold as ice: "Your appetite is a little too big." Young people, being too greedy is not a good thing. As the saying goes, "Eat as much as you have an appetite." "If you are insatiable like you, you will only bring yourself more trouble."

Su Hao didn't seem to hear Yuan Zhicheng's threatening words, and his smile was as charming as usual, enough to overpower any male star who was known for being "handsome". He turned sideways, raised his right hand, gently dusted off the dust that was not present on the brigadier general's epaulettes, and said calmly: "The military department has regulations that to hold the post of commander of the group army, you must be a senior officer above the rank of major general. Hehe, I'm just a brigadier general now, and this question seems to be a bit troublesome. ”

When the anger in the heart swells to the extreme, it can easily be transformed into another extremely indifferent thinking consciousness. Yuan Zhicheng's psychological change at the moment is like this, he feels that he has been fooled, and Wang Qinian's old mongrel is obviously putting himself along. prevaricated and refused to come forward, and sent a guy like Su Hao who was slippery and extremely difficult to deal with...... If it were Wang Qinian, he wouldn't have made so many demands at all, let alone put forward any damn new group army formation. He is already the president of the Academy of Sciences, and at most he is a little more ruthless in terms of materials and a little more in quantity, rather than everything in all aspects.

If possible, Yuan Zhicheng really wanted to turn off the screen and get in touch with Wang Qinian immediately.

But he knew very well that the old fat man would never take care of himself. Since he put on Su Hao's pretext, he will never interfere in it. What's more, the reply from the Academy of Sciences is very clear———— Su Hao is the inventor of the energy elixir, and all the relevant information is in his hands.

Despite the screen, Yuan Zhicheng still had the urge to pounce and pinch Su Hao to death.

He glanced at Su Hao coldly, pinched the tiger's mouth with the thumb of his right hand hard, and said without a smile: "No problem, the Major General Promotion Order can be issued now, and it can be forwarded by tomorrow morning at the latest." The commander of the army group is also not a problem, I can give you the establishment of five divisions. Hehe, if it's not enough, you can add five more. ”

"In this case, the remaining problem is equipment."

Regarding Yuan Zhicheng's changing attitude, Su Hao felt a little puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face. He slowed down his speech and said slowly: "The weapons and equipment of the ten combat divisions are extremely large. There are also related technical weapons, vehicles, and heavy equipment......"

"You think I'm just talking about it?"

Yuan Zhicheng was still staring at Su Hao, with an elusive smile in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will immediately order the transfer of all the materials you need from the Xi'an base as soon as possible." In fact, even if you don't say it, the military department intends to add one or two additional group armies in the direction of New Guiyang to assist the 74 Army in consolidating the situation in the southwest. Well, what else do you need besides these? Do you want me to help you get a standing member of the military committee? That's the real one step to the sky, enough to command thousands of people. ”

This is clearly a mockery and ridicule. In this regard, Su Hao could only smile and did not give any explanation.

"Okay, what you want, I've promised. Now, it's time to talk about something else. ”

Yuan Zhicheng's tone of voice suddenly became serious, full of unquestionable toughness: "The formula of the energy potion, when are you going to hand it over?" ”

"It depends on how quickly and how quickly you can implement your commitments."

Su Hao smiled and spread his hands: "I am very grateful for your generosity, and thank you for your understanding and help in the current predicament of the Eleventh Independent Army. Of course, the formulation of energy potions is not a problem, but I always like to maintain the most basic care and caution when doing things. I guarantee that as long as the conditions you promised just now are implemented and all kinds of materials arrive at the new Guiyang base smoothly, then I will definitely offer the energy potion formula with both hands. By the way———— I am really impressed by your boldness and bearing, General. ”

New Lanzhou Base City, Commander's Residence.

Yuan Zhicheng stood in his luxurious office, silently staring at the screen that had turned off the signal, and after several minutes, he opened the drawer, took out a box of beautifully packaged candy, picked up one, slowly tore off the candy wrapper, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Sibo, who was wearing a major's uniform, stood beside him, silently watching Yuan Zhicheng's actions. From time to time, a puzzled look flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to ask a question, but he couldn't.

"A daring young man. A guy who thinks he's God himself. A fool who is blinded by interests, no matter what he looks at, is false, and the next kick may step into the bubble and fall down hard. ”

Yuan Zhicheng snorted coldly, briefly commented on Su Hao, and then turned around and shifted his attention to Sibo.

"Make a list of Su Hao's bastard requirements. Now order the Xi'an base and let them send the materials to the direction of New Guiyang as soon as possible according to the quantity and variety listed on the list. In addition, the Secretariat of the Military Department was notified and asked them to immediately draw up a letter of instruction for the number of the newly organized group army. The designation is tentatively "505", and it has 10 operational divisions under its jurisdiction, and the number of combat personnel is tentatively set at 200,000. ”

These words made Sibo suddenly startled. With an expression of disbelief on his face, he subconsciously opened his mouth to ask, "General, do you really want to agree to Su Hao's conditions?" ”

"Of course you think I'm just talking about it?"

Yuan Zhicheng squinted his eyes and stared at Sibo, there was no anger or excitement on his calm face, and his tone was as usual as if nothing had happened: "Since he made a request, of course I have to meet it." Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to honestly hand over the formula for the energy potion. That stuff is important. You have also read the clinical reports sent by the field hospitals, and if the front-line troops are equipped with this agent on a large scale, the combat effectiveness can be multiplied, and the number of casualties will be reduced by at least 80 percent. ”

"However, Su Hao's request is too much."

Sibo's tone of voice was full of anger: "Three million tons of food, the rank of major general, an entire group army, and a huge amount of weapons and equipment. With these things, I am afraid that the new Guiyang area will be completely out of control. ”

"That's right, he wants to be in power."

Yuan Zhicheng sighed: "Today's young people are simply ambitious, with an amazing appetite, and they always want to reach the sky in one step. It's certainly not a bad thing to want to climb up, and I understand his unscrupulous approach for the sake of profit. Hehe, if it's me, maybe the requirements will be more and more scary. ”
