At seven o'clock in the evening, the military affairs department of the imperial capital.

At this moment, in the conference room on the basement floor, Li Xingpeng was standing in front of the huge sand table with his brows furrowed, and the dozens of tactical staff officers standing behind him also looked dejected.

"Archive the results of the seventh wargame, and you can all go home from work!" The tired Li Xingpeng waved his hand, signaling that the colleagues behind him who had worked hard with him until now could leave.

Listening to the footsteps leaving one after another behind him, Li Xingpeng's lonely figure was so small in front of the huge sand table, and when the last tactical staff officer to leave gently closed the door, the entire conference room was silent again.

After a while, with a long sigh, Director Li Xingpeng began to reach out and pull out the small pennants planted on the boundary of the Southwest Province, each flag representing an imperial legion. A total of eight small flags were held in the palm of Li Xingpeng's hand. Only the pennants representing the two corps of the 1925th remained.

"Director! Your Excellency, please come over! The heavy door to the conference room was gently pushed open, and Adjutant Lina placed a simple supper in the hands of his boss.

"I'll go over now, I'm glad I'm sorry, non-commissioned officer!" Li Xingpeng grabbed the bread in the tray, filled it into his stomach in two bites, and began to sort out the information he was going to report later.

"My lord, I'll come!" Handing a cup of coffee at just the right temperature to the young man in front of him, who was not a few years older than him, Adjutant Lina, who also hadn't left work, skillfully helped sort out the information.

"Thank you, Lina!" Leaning on the side of the sand table and looking at the busy adjutant beside him, Li Xingpeng had a special feeling in his heart.

"Don't thank me, Director! I realized it was a mistake to come with you! For three days, I accompanied you to work an extra three days of night shifts. Or the all-night kind, don't you know that staying up late is not good for girls' skin? Looking at her tired boss, the young girl showed her naughty side for the first time.

"I'm really sorry, I'll go to the minister myself later. You get off work first, and let my carriage take you back!" Touched his nose in embarrassment. Li Xingpeng still made arrangements very intimately.

"Forget it, I don't dare to sit in the commissioner's carriage!" Maybe it's too casual. Adjutant Lina hurriedly reminded her boss that it was time to report to the minister.

"Wait until I'll get back!" Li Xingpeng, who carefully sorted out his military uniform and walked out of the conference room with a document bag, retreated.

"Hmm!" Adjutant Lina nodded obediently.

"I mean, I'll take you home later!" Maybe he thought of something, Li Xingpeng hurriedly added a sentence, and then disappeared at the door of the conference room.

The office of the Minister of Military Affairs is on the highest floor of the entire building and has a separate staircase access. Even the newly appointed assistant minister was carefully inspected by the guards at the door.

Gently pushing open the door to the outside of the office, the adjutant on duty inside stood up from behind his desk as soon as possible. Enthusiastically introduced Li Xingpeng to the office of Prince Hanton.

"Your Excellency!" Standard military salute, tall posture, even if it was a busy afternoon, after Li Xingpeng saw the old man in front of him, all the fatigue disappeared.

Prince Hanton, who was full of white hair, raised his hand to signal Li Xingpeng to sit in the sofa area next door, while he took off his reading glasses and walked out from behind the wide desk.

"How? Director Lee. Sitting opposite Li Xingpeng, a pair of soul-piercing eyes looked at the young man on the opposite side of the coffee table.

"I'm sorry, Minister, but the results of the war games are not very promising. Check it out! Got up and put the document in his hand on the coffee table in front of the old man, and Li Xingpeng sat back on the sofa.

Taking out his reading glasses from his pocket and putting them on, Prince Hanton began to read the first report on the war games, and the more he looked back, the more serious the old man's expression became, and the speed of reading gradually slowed down, and he stopped to let his assistant explain some things he did not understand.

It took a full hour for the old man to finish reading the seven deduction reports, and Prince Hanton, who took off his reading glasses, seemed to be much older all of a sudden.

"Director, it's a blessing!" I have to say that Li Xingpeng's reports are very standard, and the old prince, who has fought all his life, can still judge the success of these reports.

"Adjutant Laurent!" Prince Hanton got up and walked back to his desk and called the adjutant on duty outside.

"Immediately notify all the deputy ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the commanders of the ministries immediately rush back to the Ministry of Military Affairs. Meeting room 1 starts at 12 o'clock sharp! ”

"Yes, Minister, I'll go and inform the relevant personnel!"

Looking at the adjutant who had turned to leave, Prince Hanton turned his gaze to his assistant again. The gaze is full of encouragement and appreciation. "Director, the meeting will not start for a while, hurry up and rest, we will work overtime again tonight."

"Your Excellency, I can still withstand it, there are some places that need to be improved in the results of the afternoon deduction, and I will go back and revise it."

"Sorry, Director!" Prince Hanton, who was behind the desk, looked at the assistant in front of him, and didn't know what he remembered, his thoughts paused slightly, but fortunately he quickly recovered again. "Go ahead, the opportunity belongs to you young people. I believe in the people recommended by Ah Li! ”

Leaving the Prince's office, the young commissioner came to the door of his office, and gently pushed open the hidden wooden door, and only a lamp on the desk gave a dim light in the small office. In the reception area across from the desk, Adjutant Lina curled up on the sofa and slept very sweetly. The midnight temperature in early autumn was already a little cool, and the girl in her sleep seemed to feel it, and gently rubbed her body against the back of the sofa.

Li Xingpeng stood at the door of the office, and for the first time found that his adjutant was also a beautiful girl, and he looked so peaceful in his sleep, as if he had dreamed of something beautiful in his dream, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned with a satisfied smile, and Li Xingpeng was slightly stunned.

Gently closed the wooden door of the office, crept to the coat rack next to the window, took off his coat from it, and smelled the smoke intimately, before quietly walking up to the girl and carefully covering the girl's body. In the process, the director's movements were so gentle that he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping girl.

Carefully retreating behind his desk, he turned on the lamp on the desk, looked up in the direction of the girl, and found a folder to stand up behind the lamp.

Li Xingpeng, who had completed all this, returned his whole mind to a pile of documents on the table, and in several folders, he summarized the relevant information of the southwestern provinces in recent times, and according to his own memory, he picked out the reports he needed from one folder after another, spread them out on the table, found out the information he needed, and summarized them into his high-speed brain.
