Section IV
Starting from the siege of Pai in 780, Zichuan Xiu went on to tell his experiences over the past two years: disguised surrender, assassinated Lei Hong, deterred the demon army, escaped luckyly, hid in the village of Blue, secretly trained troops, a trip to the temple, and an uprising in the Far East...... The ups and downs of this made Di Lin, who has always been accustomed to silent sè, also feel moved: this series of experiences of Zichuan Xiu, each of which is a historical event that can shock the world. For more than two years, the Demon Clan's Southwest Battalion had blocked news from the Far East, and the Zichuan family knew nothing about what was happening in the Far East. In Zichuan Xiu's mouth, they got the most detailed first-hand information, and many questions that they had been thinking about before and couldn't figure out the results had been answered.
Sterling was very surprised: "Did the Far Easterners fight the demons? We don't know any news!" He keenly felt that this war, which took place thousands of miles away and was not known to anyone at present, would bring a glimmer of hope and an opportunity for change to the Zichuan family's current difficult situation. If the independence of the Far Eastern race can really be realized, it will be an excellent strategic barrier for the Zichuan family, and the least benefit that can be seen at present is that the family can immediately transfer ten to fifteen divisions of reserves from the east to the west, and make every effort to strengthen the defense of the west.
Di Lin analyzed: "It's not strange. The demons set up a large camp in the southwest in front of the Valen Fortress, and they blocked a news from the Far East. In any case, the uprising in the Far East is good news for us, if the Far East races can really achieve their own independence, it will create a strategic buffer between the human world and the demons. ”
"This is a rare opportunity, at this time, we should join forces with the people of the Far East to fight the demons together. Before the Far Eastern Legion is wiped out by the superior forces of the Demon Race, we must intervene as much as possible! Now, there is hope for the recovery of the Far East!" Commander Stirling blushed with excitement. He repeatedly questioned and confirmed many details of the Great Uprising in the Far East: the deployment of the demons in the Far East, the strength of the rebel army, the current strength comparison between the two sides, and the provinces, cities, and fortresses occupied by the rebel army. With superhuman memory, Zichuan Xiu gave him a very detailed answer. The two of them asked and answered speculatively, but they forgot that there was a Di Lin next to him who had not been silent.
Di Lin considered the problem from another angle! The benefits of the family may not be equal to the benefits of oneself. He instinctively felt that he had to keep the matter secret in order to maintain his intelligence advantage. How can he make the most of this information, profit from it, and strengthen his position even more? He hadn't thought about it yet. But seeing Sterling's cheeks flush and the way he was discussing with Zichuan Xiu made him very uneasy. This should not be the psychology of a family decision-maker with a heavy responsibility. He should be calm first, calm second, and calm third, and Sterling's current appearance is too fanatical.
"Big brother, what are you thinking?"
"Ahh As you said, you have been fighting against Rudi's army since the Battle of Kearney last March. But for such a long time, Emperor Lu has been defeated in successive battles, why hasn't there been a new general to replace him? And the Demon Clan has not sent new reinforcements to the Far East? You are much more familiar with the Demon Race than I am, you should know that the Demon Army's military law is very cruel, this Lord Lu Di lost the battle in Kearney and took the lead in escaping, but until now there has been nothing at all———— the reaction of the upper echelons of the kingdom is too slow, this is very abnormal!"
"Second, in your battle plan just now, I found that you seem to have forgotten Ling Buxu of Fuming Ke Province. He commanded more than 100,000 regular demon troops, and was known for his quick and resolute actions. If I were him, I would have made a hasty march from the province of Vishenk, and I would have reached your stronghold, Minsk, in a week. Your main force is entangled with Lu Di on the outskirts of the Eastern Front, and there are no heavy troops on the Western Front and in the base camp. Most of your soldiers are from Minsk province, and if they learn that their hometown is occupied, they will be demoralized, your base and logistics network will collapse in an instant, and the whole army will collapse without a fight. ”
"Although according to what you said, Ling Buxu and Lu Di are at odds, but once Lu Di's army collapses, will he continue to gloat and watch the excitement from the side? Although Ling Buxu's main task is to defend the human defenders of Valen, after all, he is also one of the two major generals sent by the Demon Clan to guard the Far East, if you are allowed to take the Far East like this, how will he explain to the Demon God Emperor? At that time, the possibility of him participating in the war is very large. You have to be prepared to fight on two fronts. ”
It was like someone suddenly splashing cold water on the ice and snow, and Zi Chuanxiu shivered all over his body. The Great Uprising in the Far East is a proud act of his life, but not many people in the human world know their exploits, and when I have the opportunity to tell about this glorious achievement, I can't help but be proud, with a bit of a taste of showing off. But after such an analysis of Di Lin, Zichuan Xiucai suddenly discovered that he was actually standing on the edge of a cliff, and he couldn't be more dangerous. Usually busy with military affairs, coupled with repeated victories, I can't help but be a little overbearing, and I didn't take a break to think about my situation at all. The simple-minded orcs under his subordinates blindly worshipped themselves, and no matter what they said, they applauded vigorously: "Well said! It is worthy of His Royal Highness the King of Light!" Subtly, he really thought that he was invincible and always right. Hearing Di Lin's analysis, cold sweat was pouring down his back, and he couldn't wait to fly back to the Far East immediately to remind Bai Chuan of them.
Seeing Zi Chuanxiu's stunned appearance, Di Lin smiled faintly: "Yi Axiu, with your eyes, it's impossible not to see this, but it may be a little negligent for a while, I'm just reminding you in vain." ”
Zi Chuanxiu asked the two brothers for advice: "There is Ling Buxu in the west and Lu Di in the east, so how should I deal with this situation?"
The two laughed. Di Lin smiled and said, "Ah Xiu, so modest, it's not like your style!"
"Of course, it's to break Ling Buxu first. Sterling analyzed: "At present, the defeat of Lu Di's remnants can no longer pose a threat to you, and the biggest threat to you is the Ling Buxu Southwest Battalion." There are 100,000 Chen Shi, and you can go straight to your hinterland in a week, which is your henchman's trouble. If you don't get rid of Ling Buxu before the reinforcements from the Demon Kingdom arrive, you will become a two-sided enemy, and your situation will be very difficult. ”
"Take the initiative?"
"Yes, take the initiative to attack!" Stirling said resolutely: "After the fall of Emperor Lu, the Ling Buxu Legion has become the largest military force of the Demon Clan in the Far East, and a big battle between you and him is inevitable. Instead of letting him attack your territory and fight on the inside line, it is better for you to attack him on the outside line first while the army is strong, so as to avoid civilian losses. If it were to fight in the province of Fumingke, Ling Buxu would have to take care of the Valen Fortress behind him, and would not dare to deal with you with all his might. ”
Zi Chuanxiu pondered for a long time, and asked slowly: "If I send troops to attack Ling Buxu's army, can the Valen defenders send troops to contain part of his troops from behind?" To tell you, Ling Buxu is the leading general of the Demon Kingdom, and he has a strong army in his hands, and it may be difficult to eat him with the current Far Eastern Army. ”
The chief inspector general of the family and the commander of the zhōngyāng army looked at each other, and their faces were difficult. Zi Chuanxiu immediately understood, and immediately looked out the window and said with a smile: "The snow is so heavy tonight!"
Sterling sighed: "Ah Xiu, I understand your difficulties. But we have just broken free from the terrible war of destruction and have suffered heavy losses. Now, the huge army of 130 wings of the Storm and Frost is gathering on the western border to look at us, and the pressure on us is very heavy. Under such circumstances, I'm afraid the chief won't agree to us going to war with the demons in the east again. ”
As if embarrassed by his words, he added: "If you don't dislike it, we can do you a small favor in other ways, such as providing you with equipment, food, and weapons, and I can also give Lin Bing an order to cooperate with your attack to conduct a military exercise, and launch a feint to attract the attention of the demons and distract their forces." Of course, this is subject to the consent of Valen's military judge. He looked at Dilin.
Di Lin nodded and smiled, "The Judge Advocate General's Office has no objection to this. ”
Shikawa said sincerely, "Thank you." ”
He was really grateful. In the family's current difficult situation, it is too presumptuous to make a request. Although Stirling modestly claimed to be a "small favor", Shikawa knew that even in his capacity as the commander of Stirling's army and the chief of military affairs, those "small favors" were taking a huge risk. The area adjacent to the two armies between Valen City and the Southwest Camp was originally a highly sensitive danger zone, and the military exercises conducted by the Zichuan Army in this place would inevitably lead to friction and conflict with the demon patrols, and once the conflict was out of control and escalated into war, Sterling would be fully responsible for it. He was willing to take such a risk for his own sake.
Sterling remembered something: "Ah Xiu, there is something I want to ask you. On the evening of February 15, we met a girl who was holding your moon washing knife...... "Thinking of this, his head is going to be big, and he looks at Di Lin."
"We asked her and she attacked us indiscriminately. In order to protect ourselves, we had to kill some people. Dilling very succinctly summed up the events of the night in a few sentences, and Sterling had to admire Dilling's ability to summarize: he didn't seem to be wrong at all when he said that.
"The Moon Washing Knife has always been on me," Zichuan Xiu said in surprise, "I have always carried it with me." ”
"How is that possible? I saw her hanging from her waist......"
Sterling looked at Shikawa in surprise, who looked at him with the same expression. The two of them said in unison, "What are you talking about?
"Two," Di Lin said slowly, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here." Sterling, let's talk about our side of the story. ”
Sterling began to speak, from the small talk in the coffee house to the bloody chatter on the long street. As for why Di Lin brought troops to Zi Chuanning's house, he explained politely: "We all think that since your matching knife has appeared, it is possible that you will also come back. And if you come back, the most likely place to appear is Miss Ning's mansion, so ......"
The more she listened to it, the more ugly it became, and although Sterling said it politely, he still vaguely guessed what they were thinking at the time. He asked coldly: "Do you need so many soldiers and horses to come to Zichuan Ning's house to find me?"
Sterling glanced at Di Lin, with a slight reproach in his eyes, and turned back to Zichuan Xiu and smiled apologetically: "It was my idea to bring soldiers and horses by my side." It was to prepare for Luo Minghai's sudden attack, and he had no other ideas. Ah Xiu, you don't have to worry too much. At that time, we thought that if we found you and there were not many guards around us, we would not be able to guarantee your safety. ”
"There's no need to pretend. Di Lin shook his head and said, "Ah Xiu, I was really worried about this at the time, worried that you would really betray yourself." If that's the case, I'll kill you with my own hands, and I'll never let you die at the hands of those third-rate sès. ”
He looked into Zichuan Xiu's eyes and said word by word: "Because, you are my brother." ”
"You are our brother, so I will kill you with my own hands. Di Lin's bullshit logic did not make Zi Chuanxiu angry, but was inexplicably moved. In Di Lin's sharp and undisguised sharp words, he felt the honesty of that hot-blooded man: If you betray, you will not only betray the Zichuan family, but you will also betray my trust in you and insult our brotherhood. The Zichuan Xiu who betrayed humans and defected to the demons is no longer the real Zichuan Xiu, it's just a walking corpse in your name. As your brother, it is my duty to bury this soulless body once and for all.
He nodded, "I see." ”
Di Lin looked at him calmly: "I know you'll understand. We are all just human beings, and it is impossible not to make mistakes. But some mistakes cannot be forgiven anyway, and once they are made, there is only one way to correct them. ”
He opened the window, and a fresh, icy winter breath poured into the room. Looking indifferently at the snowy night sky, Di Lin said tiredly: "If there is a day when I am the one who makes a mistake, I hope that it will be you who will correct this mistake." ”
Zi Chuan Xiu calmly stared at Di Lin's beautiful eyes, which seemed to be made of black sè gemstones, and they were pitch black. Just like the feeling he felt on the night of the bloody night, he suddenly found that his feelings for this big brother were so unfamiliar. But strangely, he had no doubt about the sincerity of Di Lin's feelings for him.
When he was besieged in Pai, he was the one who risked his life to rescue him.
When he was suspected of rebellion, he was the first to stand up and defend himself in the face of the world's condemnation.
But when he really surrendered to the demon clan, Zichuan Xiu believed that he would be the first to come out and kill him.
This is a very peculiar feeling, and Zichuan Xiu was inexplicably moved: cruelty and warmth, blood and coldness, these extremely contradictory xìng characters can appear in a person's body so harmoniously.
Di Lin brought up an overly heavy topic, which made everyone's hearts heavy. Sterling smiled and came out to play the round: "Isn't Ah Xiu good? Big brother, you are worried in vain." ”
Di Lin smiled and admitted: "Yes, I am suspicious. He immediately changed the subject: "We killed and wounded thirty-one assassins that night, but we didn't catch any of them alive, and all of the wounded took poison and committed suicide." It's the same technique as the mysterious woman you met on the street———— they're almost certainly the same group!"
Zi Chuan Xiu's heart was shocked, and now he was almost certain that it was Lin Yu and her subordinates who attacked Zi Chuan Ning's mansion that night. Because Sterling said that he saw the scabbard of his moon washing knife, and his own scabbard was given to Lin Yu.
He hesitated for a moment and told his experience: after entering the dìdū, the two of them were in the air, and when they came to see Zi Chuan Ning, they encountered a large group of masked assassins who were committing murder, and after a bloody battle to protect Zi Chuan Ning, he was invincible and fainted, but he woke up inexplicably safe. For some reason, he deliberately concealed the experience of meeting Lin Yu and his party.
“...... From the testimonies of the survivors of that night, we know that dozens of people attacked Miss Ning's mansion that night. With Ah Xiu's martial arts, dozens of people couldn't help him, but he couldn't stop the other party with all his strength that night, which shows that those people who fought with you must be very good, right?
"Ahh Di Lin continued: "With so many masters, it can't have come out overnight, it must have come from some powerful force. Stirling, is it possible that they are the masters of our family's army?"
Sterling groaned for a moment and replied, "There is no record of these people in the materials of the Military Affairs Department, and they are certainly not regular soldiers. Is it possible that some powerful person is secretly armed with a private secret, for example, Luo Minghai's?"
"It can't be Luo Minghai's subordinates. Di Lin denied this possibility in one bite: "What kind of goods Luo Minghai's subordinates have, I know very clearly." They're so tightly watched by me that I know how to fart, let alone such a big thing!"
"So, is it possible that the demon clan sent a master? I heard that there are so-called royal clan masters among them, who look exactly like us humans?"
Both of them set their eyes on Zichuan Xiu, and he had the most say in the affairs of the demon clan. Zi Chuan Xiu replied absentmindedly, "It can't be on the side of the demon clan." The number of royal families of the demon clan is not large, and there are only about a hundred men, women, and children combined, and it is impossible to send dozens of men in the prime of life at a time. Moreover, although their martial arts are very good, they are still a big step behind the masters of the royal family. ”
"Then say," Di Lin cocked his fingers and said, "It's not our Zichuan family, it's not the demon clan, it's not Ah Xiu's, it can only be ————" He deliberately dragged out his voice, hinting at his two younger brothers with his eyes, and now, the answer has been called.
Sterling muttered, "Did the Flowing Wind Family go out? They wanted to deliberately murder Miss Ning?
No one could answer him. Di Lin fell into deep thought: although Zi Chuan Ning is the heir of the family, she usually acts relatively low-key, rarely shows her face, and so far, she has not shown any talent worthy of the fear of the Liufeng family, if the purpose of the Liufeng family is to assassinate the important people of the Zichuan family and cause internal strife in the family, then the target they chose is too far apart. Even if they succeed in assassination, the consequences will at most make the Senate busy for a week, choosing another heir from among those distant dukes, and it will not achieve the purpose of causing chaos in the Zichuan family. He really couldn't figure out why the Liufeng family would resort to murdering such a "non-quarrelsome" girl as Zi Chuanning by any means.
"I can't figure it out!" he sighed and shook his head.
"It's not for you, it's for your sister-in-law, second brother. If you have time in the future, remember to go to the Listening to the Rain Cafe in Heqiu to find the little sister!" The beauty's soft voice was still in her ears, and Zi Chuanxiu's heart turned over and over again, all of which were Lin Yu's bright eyes, and her heart was chrying: Such a beautiful girl turned out to be a cold-blooded murderer of the Liufeng family? This was really difficult for him to accept. Faintly, he had a kind of indignation that had been deceived, but there was also a trace of lingering melancholy: A beautiful woman, how could she be a thief! The next time we meet, he and she may be enemies of life and death.
Di Lin asked Zichuan Xiu about the purpose of returning from this trip, and Zichuan Xiu told the truth.
Di Lin and Sterling were stunned for a moment, and Di Lin pointed at Zi Chuanxiu and laughed: "The person who secretly bought our food and weapons turned out to be you?"
Shikawa Xiu smiled awkwardly. Sterling also smiled: "Ah Xiu, do you know, you made us from the chief to the military department all uneasy......
Di Lin interjected: "Chief of Staff Goshan also asked the Supervision Office to investigate this matter. ”
"Yes, everybody says it's a precursor to an attack. Haha, I didn't expect you to do it!" He gradually retracted his smile: "Well, I see. Now, you're in trouble, aren't you?"
"Yes. Shikawa Shu replied simply. The two righteous brothers are extremely smart characters, especially Di Lin, who is quick to react and think strictly, and talking to smart people has this benefit, which can save a lot of saliva.
"Have you figured out what to do?"
"There are a couple of plans. One is that you and Sterling help and persuade the chief to cancel this bill......"
"It's hard. Di Lin said: "The bill was proposed by the chief minister and passed by the senate, and it was about to be canceled less than a month after it was implemented, and we lack a reason to convince the senate." As for the commander-in-chief, he can't save this face, and I can't tell those old men: old guys, you are mistaken, it is not the wind and frost that secretly buy strategic materials, but the Far Eastern warriors who rebel against the demons...... There will be no mistake, that is what Zichuan Xiu said to me personally, yes, it is that Zichuan Xiu, the Zichuan Xiu who surrendered to the demons, he came back to tell me in person———— guess what will happen to me?"
Zi Chuanxiu rubbed his nose: "My reputation won't be so stinky, right?"
"As fragrant as fresh shit. Tell me, what other plans do you have?"
"I've also figured out that if the bill can't be lifted head-on, we'll do it on the sly. The supply bill grants the military department the right to buy, and I want Sterling to buy it on my behalf in the name of the zhōngyāng army, of course, at my expense. ”
Sterling thought for a moment, "How much do you need?"
"At present, the most urgent are food and medicine, these two materials we need the most, we need to buy 300 tons of grain, rice, soybeans, corn, millet, barley...... In addition to food, we also need seeds that can be sown on the next chūn day and hay to feed the war horses. As for medicines, we urgently need medicines, medical devices, and anti-inflammatory drugs that can treat trauma. Also, I need at least 500 field medics: after a battle, more of our soldiers will die under the wounded and sick than under the swords of the demon soldiers, and we also have a great need for weapons and equipment, and we need to form a strong bow army to resist the high-speed dragoons of the demons, at least 10,000 high-quality strong bows and 500,000 bundles of arrows. Also, I hope you can help us procure 5,000 horses from the Singa region...... And ......"
Zichuan Xiu gushed down in one breath, and seeing Sterling's stunned expression, he asked cautiously, "My request is not too much, is it?"
"What do you say?" asked Di Lin rhetorically.
Zichuan Xiu had to admit: "It's a bit excessive." ”
"According to your request, 300 tons of food is enough to feed an army of 100,000 people for nearly a month, and it would be very strange if Sterling helped you buy a large number of logistics supplies: 'Lord Sterling, you only have less than 100,000 troops, but you want 200,000 people of food and weapons and equipment, what is going on?'"
Zi Chuanxiu smiled: "I've already figured out a way." ”
He explained his method to the two brothers: Stirling was not only the commander of the Zōngyāng army, but he was also the family's military chief, in charge of all the family's military logistics, and the amount of property handled by each rì was extremely large and cumbersome, and he could secretly sell military supplies to himself, and as for the vacancy on the books, he could use the gold provided by Zichuan Xiu to buy another batch of supplies from local merchants to fill it, so that no one could see the flaw.
Sterling fell into deep thought, Shikawa Xiu's method seemed simple but very effective, as long as no one deliberately came to investigate, it should not be exposed: it should be said that it was seamless, because the biggest leader of the family surveillance system was sitting next to him, conspiring with him. However, to do so would mean to deceive His Highness, who has placed great trust in him, and to go against his own principle of honesty.
He asked softly, "Is there no other way?" We can have a good talk with the chief and explain to him that Ah Xiu is wronged......
"You'd better not even think about it. Di Lin interrupted: "Ah Xiu's traitor identity was designated by the commander-in-chief, and now he has to deny it, which is equivalent to him wanting to slap himself, even if it is to protect his own face, he will fight to the end! Once Ah Xiu's identity is exposed, if he is not slaughtered on the spot: I think this may be very big, after all, his head is worth 100,000———— then he will face a trial of treason by a military court." If you want to prove your innocence, you have to come up with evidence to ———— Ah Xiu, you might as well go to His Royal Highness the Demon God Emperor and ask him if he is available to help you testify in court. ”
Sterling said bitterly, "I know it's difficult, but I deceived His Highness the Commander-in-Chief like this...... Not good. ”
Di Lin let out a loud "snort" sound from his nose. He thought, what's the big deal about deceiving the chief, I have also done even more rebellious things, in order to protect you from the hands of the nobles of the Senate, I killed more than a dozen high-ranking family officials at the level of the Red Banner, and as a result, the old fox Zichuan Shenxing was still coaxed by me to obey. Of course, I can't say that to you Sterling.
"Commander Sterling," Di Lin said solemnly in a very solemn tone, "Under the current form, the people who pose the greatest threat to the safety of my Zichuan family are the Liufeng family and the demon clan. Ah Xiu fought bloodily in the Far East and fought to the death against the demons, which relieved the pressure on my Zichuan family in the east. The war in the Far East is closely related to the safety of my Zichuan family, the war in the Far East is for my Zichuan family, saving the Far East is equivalent to saving my Zichuan family, and defending the Far East is equivalent to defending my Zichuan family. A true person with lofty ideals should always put the interests of the family first, this is the real loyalty, as for personal principles, that is only a small section. ”
Di Lin's voice was very low: "Commander Sterling, the safety and survival of the family, and your honor and reputation, which is lighter and which is more important?"
"Of course, the safety of the family is paramount, but this ......," Sterling replied, a large drop of sweat oozing down his forehead.
Di Lin stood up, pressed his hands on Sterling's shoulders, looked at him condescendingly and majestically, and said sternly: "Commander Sterling, this official orders you in the name of the current Inspector General of the Zichuan family, accept the mention of Deputy Commander Zichuan Xiu, and start aiding the rebel army in the Far East!"
"Yes!" Sterling jumped up in a salute. Immediately, his expression became very strange, and he smiled bitterly as if he had just eaten a fly.
Di Lin smiled evilly, he had already figured out Sterling's psychological habits. At first, he made a big deal out of his eloquent tirade, and suddenly ordered him in a tough tone, at which time Sterling's kind of military man who was accustomed to obeying authority immediately reacted instinctively, and only after saying "obey" did he realize that things were not good, but it was not easy to change his words at this time.
He smiled evilly and said to Zichuan Xiu: "Ah Xiu, I found out a long time ago, our second child is a natural cheap embryo. If you have to discuss something with him, then he must not be able to do this, and that will not work, and in the end everything will be difficult to do. If you want him to help, you have to put on a straight face and give him vicious orders, and he will promise you everything immediately!"
Sterling protested: "Big brother, don't call me so stupid. I thought it was good for my family......"
"Commander Stirling! This officer orders you to take off your clothes and run around the house!"
"Yes...... Ah, Ah Xiu, you bastard, you dare yīn me!"
"Commander Stirling listens to the order, and this officer orders you to run to the door and learn to bark three times!"
"Bastards, you guys die!" Sterling pounced on him with his teeth and claws, knocking Di Lin and Zi Chuanxiu down on the bed, "Is the King of Light a stinky fart......?" Oops!"
"Haha, you know how powerful I am! The Xiuzi camp is invincible! Oh, big brother, you sneak attack, it's too despicable!"
"Phew, don't think that the heroes of the Supervision Department are afraid of your command...... Ouch, Sterling, how dare you hit so hard!"
The three of them punched and kicked each other into a ball, like a few children fighting, and finally they couldn't fight anymore, and they lay out of breath on the bed and couldn't move. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I look at the usually dignified commander and inspector with a bruised and swollen face, and suddenly laugh out loud at the same time. Shikawa Xiu laughed especially loudly. After solving the first-class task of coming back, he put down the boulder that had been pressing on his heart and smiled very happily. Playing with two like-minded brothers, he felt like he had stepped back in time, as if he had returned to the carefree days of military school six years ago.
The three of them then began to discuss the specifics of the implementation of the plan. Sterling is deeply trusted by the chief Zichuan Sanxing, and is in charge of the military affairs department of the command office, and the current accounts of the command office are all supervised by the supervision office of Di Lin. But Di Lin's mind is more meticulous, he wants to muddy the water as much as possible, so that people can't find out if they want to. He proposed that if Zi Chuanxiu's logistics materials had to be purchased through Guò Stirling, there would be too many procedures and it would be too cumbersome, so it would be better for Zi Chuanxiu to buy them openly, and the method was very simple:
The more vague the name is, the more vague the name is in the Military Affairs Department, such as the 53rd Division of the Family Reserve Army, or the National Defense Regiment of the Lok Sinway Province, these units are all second-line preparatory armies or local militia forces, which will not attract attention. In the war in the Far East that ended not long ago, the actual strength of a large number of second-line armed forces had been annihilated by the demons, and all that was left of those troops was a tattered banner and a number that had not yet had time to be deleted. Now, the family's defense system is being rebuilt, and the entire family territory is recruiting new soldiers from east to west, and a large number of new troops are being prepared. Dilling believes that this state of chaos is an opportunity. No one had time to check whether the numbers of the troops on the books of the Military Affairs Office were really stored.
Then, the 53rd Division of Shikawa Xiu could start work. The first step was to set up logistics offices in the provinces, which were responsible for "procuring food, weapons, equipment, and other logistical materials for the 53rd Division of the Family Reserve Army." The volume of purchases for this unit is very large, which will certainly attract the attention of the local Judge Advocate General's Office. However, if someone has a big brother who is the inspector general of the Ombudsman's Office, that's fine. The Supervision Offices and Judge Advocate Offices in various localities will be instructed that in the future, all materials of the 53rd Division will be exempted from inspection and released.
But there is another question, maybe there may be uninteresting officials in the local zhèngfǔ who are curious: "Which department does this 53rd Division belong to, and where are they stationed?" Then, he has to find out the roots——— this possibility is small, but it is not impossible. But as long as he finds out about the Military Affairs Office, it will be over. There, the ledger clearly indicates that the 53rd Division of the ——— Reserve Army is indeed a genuine family army, and the numbers are all listed in the notebook! But do you still want to know the location and number of troops in this unit? This ......
At this time, Commander Stirling, who had won the trust of the chief and was admired by the whole family for his integrity and sincerity, came out and told him very strictly: "The 53rd Division of the Reserve Army is a secret unit belonging to the family, and the situation of the unit is a military secret, and it is better for your officer to ...... It's better not to be overdone. ”
Generally speaking, Lord Sterling's few words of insignificant reprimand are enough to scare those sesame mung bean-sized officials into their souls, but maybe there is a person who is particularly bold and can't scare him for a while, or keeps tracking him down, so what can I do?
"Don't worry," Inspector General Dilin said with a smile, "The Inspectorate will solve it." ”
Sterling and Zi Chuanxiu looked at the murderous aura hidden in their eldest brother's eyes, and their minds thought of chili water, tiger chairs, bloodstained sticks, sharp bamboo sticks and wires, and killers in black...... So Qi Qi shuddered.
"Don't look at me like that," Di Lin raised his beautiful eyebrows: "The Supervision Office is not as violent as you think, we do things in accordance with the law and principles, and act in accordance with legal procedures and strictly according to law!"
Shikawa Xiu asked tentatively: "For example, ......"
"Even if he spits on the road, I will sentence him to 30 years in prison!" said the inspector general, who is in charge of the law.
"Ah Xiu, so that you can directly purchase materials openly, and you don't have to go so troubled to make fake accounts and engage in secret transactions, what do you think———— you are worried?"
Zi Chuanxiu said sincerely: "This is really good, much better than I expected!" He knew that no matter how grateful he was for this generous gift from Di Lin, he would not be too grateful. In the previous black market trading, I was subject to many restrictions because I was afraid of being discovered, and I also suffered a lot in price. Now trading in the name of the military, many things are convenient, and the price will definitely be discounted, which is really a relief for the financially strapped Far Eastern rebels.
"Don't be happy yet," Di Lin's expression was very stern: "This is conditional!"
Zichuan Xiu was stunned: "What conditions?"
Di Lin Waner smiled: "Come with me to meet someone." ”
