After everyone drank a few glasses of wine, Xu Lang saw that Ye Sunquan and Luo Shi had been looking at him, as if they had something to say. Xu Lang knew they wanted to ask about Ye Zhan's situation, but he couldn't get a word in. Xu Lang raised the wine glass to the two people: "Old Ye, Mrs. Ye, Ye Zhan is still in Beijing, but the battle in Beijing is over. He should be back soon. I think he will be back in more than a month." We're home." "Uncle Ye, Mrs. Ye, you don't know yet," said Gao Chen, who was sitting next to Xu Lang, "Mr. Ye may be promoted to brigadier general after he comes back." "Is that so?" He stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your support." "This is not my support." Xu Lang said with a smile, "This is all Ye Zhan's own efforts. We will soon have the youngest general in Yulin Bay." "Gao Chen, Then you won't be promoted to another level?" Ye Yan, who was beside Liu Guannan, asked, "You have been a major for a long time, right?" Gao Chen felt a little embarrassed guarding Xu Lang and Leng Tianbing. It depends on what the superiors want, but I am very satisfied if I can follow the two superiors. It doesn¡¯t matter if I get promoted or not." Cheng Yiyi, who was sitting at the table next to her, listened to the conversation between Ye Yan and Gao Chen and glanced at the opposite side unconsciously. Ye Jie looked at Gao Chen's table, but saw Ye Jie lowering her head and looking at Gao Chen's table. "Come, let's not worry about them." Cheng Yiyi greeted with a cup, "Let's drink too." Li Lin and Leng Yujun were also sitting at this table. Li Lin smiled at Cheng Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, Xu Lang is back. It should be easier to go back home now.¡± ¡°I¡¯m even more tired,¡± Cheng Yiyi said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s better not to come back. I act like a big kid all day long and don¡¯t care about anything at home. Zhiruo is taking care of it. , He just had to fight for toys with his son. " Cheng Yiyi's words caused a burst of laughter from the people at the table. Leng Yujun turned to Xu Lang's table and asked: "Uncle Xu, why isn't Brother Junzhe back? In Beijing?" "Yes, he hasn't finished his work yet," Xu Lang said, "He should be back with your brother Ye Zhan." Speaking of Xiao Junzhe, Xu Lang suddenly remembered something: "Tian Bing, Bei Ming is here. The letter to me mentioned Junzhe's changes in Beijing, and said that Junzhe means that he will no longer be with our General Staff when he comes back, and he wants to go down to the company to lead the troops. I'll say hello to you first, so you know what to do. " No one here knew what happened to Xiao Junzhe in Beijing. Leng Tianbing asked: "Why doesn't he want to work in the General Staff anymore? How come he suddenly wants to go to the company?" Xu Lang took out a cigarette and smoked it on the table. Next, he slowly said: "He killed someone." The hall immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at Xu Lang in surprise: "He killed someone? Junzhe killed someone?" Xu Lang said with a smile: "Who is on the battlefield? If you have never killed someone, how can you call it a war? " "Brother Xu, can you tell me the truth?" Sun Tianhao shouted dissatisfied, "Good guy, this scares me." He was a little dull: "But Junzhe really committed murder. Beiming's letter said that he strangled a Korean to death with his own hands. Beiming asked us to pay attention to Junzhe's mood after he came back. In any case, this incident had a profound impact on him. The impact is still very big." "Okay, we will all pay attention to it," Shi Xianyang said, "Today is for you to clean up the trouble, don't talk about these unpleasant things, let's relax and get drunk." He and Gao Chen officially returned to work at the General Staff, and everything returned to normal. Leng Tianbing put the reorganization plan of the First Army and the Second Army that he had sorted out in the past few days in front of Xu Lang: "Zheng Jiang asked me to do this. Except for Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang's troops in the north, I still follow the original plan The two armies are planned to be reorganized. The first army has 32,000 troops and the second army has 18,000 troops. A total of 50,000 troops will be able to completely solve the Vietnam problem next year. Xu Lang opened the plan and took a look: "Tianbing, There should be no problem in solving Vietnam according to this plan, but have you thought about what to do after Vietnam is conquered?" Leng Tianbing sat down opposite Xu Lang: "I have been thinking about this issue for the past few days. Ruan Youyi is now in control of South Vietnam. But Nguyen Phuc Lan has never been found, which means that South Vietnam has never had a king. And I think we can't depose Zheng Chi after conquering North Vietnam. You also said that a divided Vietnam is better than a unified one. Vietnam is more beneficial to us." Xu Lang didn't quite understand what Leng Tianbing said: "You mean to keep Vietnam divided? It's okay to say that North Vietnam has never had a king. How about supporting Ruan Youyi as the king of South Vietnam? ?¡± ¡°No, you misunderstood me.¡± Leng Tianbing explained, ¡°I mean that Vietnam can be unified in form, but in reality it is divided between North and South. But at the same time, South Vietnam also needs to be divided. Establish autonomous regions as for the entire Vietnam.King ?, you can still use the current Li Shenzong Li Weiqi. " Leng Tianbing paused at this point: "Xu Lang, I have an idea. Haven't we always wanted to transform the Ming Dynasty into a model of constitutional monarchy and federated provincial autonomy? But we simply don¡¯t know whether this model is suitable for this era or whether it is suitable for Eastern people¡¯s thinking. Xu Lang understood: "So you want to do a pilot project in Vietnam." We imposed this model on Vietnam, just like the United States imposed its democratic system on Japan after World War II. If it was feasible in Vietnam, it should be feasible in the Ming Dynasty. " "They say you, Xu Lang, are smart. You really understand it as soon as you say it. "Leng Tianbing said with a smile, "We don't have to worry so much about conducting pilot projects in Vietnam. In some places, we can use force to enforce it. " "Okay, let's do it. Xu Lang was a little excited, "I will do this plan myself." Let the facts speak for themselves and see if Easterners are really suitable for the Western system. " Zheng Jiang found Zhang Guodong with the reorganization plan reported by the General Staff: "Chairman Zhang, the plan from the General Staff has been reported. You can take a look first. Zhang Guodong took the plan and read it carefully: "There is nothing wrong with this plan, but how to solve the problem of troop sources?" " Zheng Jiang pulled out another document: "Chairman Zhang, according to the news brought back by Xu Lang, the number of people in the First Army retreating to Yulin Bay is about 17,000. Xu Tianbin recruited more than 4,000 people some time ago. Human recruits. In addition, we can bring back tens of thousands of rogue prisoners of war from Xi'an, and there are more than 10,000 of them suitable to serve as soldiers. These people combined are almost enough to meet the needs of the First Army. Zhang Guodong asked again: "Will these rogue prisoners of war join the army as soon as they come back? Will there be any problems?" " "No, Chairman Zhang. Leng Tianbing told me that after the young prisoners of war come back, they will form prisoner of war camps and send them all to mines and collective farms in various places. After the Chinese New Year, they will be selected one by one for recruitment. There are still many things to prepare for the attack on Vietnam. The General Staff estimates that it will take place in March or April next year at the earliest, so there is no delay. " "What about the Second Army in Vietnam? "Zhang Guodong asked again. "Li Fuqiang is fully responsible for the Second Army. Now there are almost 10,000 people in the Second Army in Vietnam. Let Li Fuqiang increase the recruitment intensity. In addition, we can also select some of these rogue prisoners of war to add to the Second Army. We are not worried about leaving them all in Yulin Bay. Zhang Guodong thought for a while and said nothing else: "Zheng Jiang, if you have nothing to do, come with me to Wang Jian's place. There are some things we need to discuss together." " "Chairman Zhang, please wait first. Zheng Jiang called out to Zhang Guodong and took out another document, "This is my own opinion. Do you have any opinions on the lists of officers in the two armies?" " "You have even thought about this. "Zhang Guodong took the list and read it. The First Army was led by Han Wantao, who was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. Lin Zhaolong and He Chaoyong were transferred back from Vietnam and served as commanders of three divisions with Xu Tianbin respectively, and were promoted to the rank of major general. Zhao Qi and Ye Zhan The Second Army transferred to Vietnam with Andreas served as brigade commander, and the rest were promoted to lieutenant general, Wang Zhaoxing and Xu Lang were promoted to major general, and Zhang Hai, Leng Tianbing, Zhao Dequan and others from Singapore were promoted. Liu Jun was promoted to brigadier general. Zhang Guodong smiled and said, "Zheng Jiang, what a big deal. How many generals have you been promoted to?" " "There's nothing you can do about it. Zheng Jiang also smiled and said, "We have more and more troops now. Ye Zhan and Andreas have both become generals. There must be a balance." " Zhang Guodong picked up a pencil and circled the list a few times: "He Chaoyong and Lin Zhaolong have been in Vietnam and know the situation in Vietnam better. Ye Zhan and Andreas haven't come back yet, and it wouldn't be good if they went directly to Vietnam as soon as they came back. They don't want to switch positions. These two people directly serve as division commanders of the First Army and are all promoted to major generals. " Zheng Jiang was a little surprised: "Chairman Zhang, isn't it a bit inappropriate for the two of them to jump directly from colonel to major general two levels in a row? " "There is nothing inappropriate. Wasn't Xu Tianbin directly promoted from colonel to major general? " "But. Zheng Jiang thought for a while and then changed his explanation, "The cavalry division suffered heavy casualties in Beijing this time. Some people in the military have some words for Andreas. If we directly promote him to major general now, there may be problems." Besides, Chairman Zhang, according to our regulations, promotion to general must be approved by the General Assembly. If you jump to two levels at once, I'm worried that the General Assembly will veto it. " "That's right, I forgot about the time travel conference. "Zhang Guodong said with a smile, "Then it's your Military Commission's decision. Let me just say one thing: Lin Zhaolong and the others don't need to swap positions with Ye Zhan and the others. This will be good for our operations in Vietnam next year. " "I understand, Chairman Zhang. "Zheng Jiang packed up all the documents. When the two people arrived at the committee to find Wang Jian, they found that the committee was holding an enlarged meeting. All members, including Gu Yunkun, Liang Chengdong and almost all the directors, including Xia Tian, ??who is now the brigadier general of the Yulin Army, attended the meeting. Positive. "Hey, we are all busy." Zhang Guodong opened the door of the conference room, "You can have the meeting first. Chairman Zheng and I will wait outside for a while." "No, no, two chairs." Wang Jian greeted, " I just need to ask you two for advice. You should also attend this meeting. It's all about Yulin Bay anyway. Let's make a decision together." Zhang Guodong and Zheng Jiang were no longer polite and found a place to sit down. The first thing Wang Jian asked Zheng Jiang for instructions was to ask Xia Yang to withdraw from the army and return to the committee to work. Regarding the rogue prisoners of war who were about to flood into Yulin Bay in large numbers and the original refugees who had nothing to do after the completion of the ring-island highway, the committee decided to set up a resettlement group. Wang Jian intended to let Xia Yang be the leader of the group. "We have no objections." Zheng Jiang said, "As long as Lao Xia is willing to return to the committee, he can withdraw from the army at any time." "Thank you very much." Wang Jian smiled, "It would be better for Lao Xia to come back." Wei Yang asked Zhang Guodong Re-introduced the content of the meeting to Zheng Jiang. At present, the total population of Yulin Bay is 220,000, and the total population of Hainan Island is about 550,000. There are about 30,000 refugees who have not yet been resettled. According to Xia Yang, by next summer, Xi'an will send back about 70,000 to 80,000 people. In total, Yulin Bay will need to resettle about 100,000 people. The entire committee feels great pressure. Gu Yunkun, director of the Mining Bureau, submitted a mineral distribution map of Hainan Island to the committee. Although Hainan Island is still rich in mineral resources, some of them are not yet in use, and there is no technology to exploit them, such as oil and natural gas. Gu Yunkun roughly marked out a dozen mineral resources, most of which were metal ores. What Gu Yunkun meant was not to consider the issue of consumption first, but to organize manpower to mine first, and then talk about it later. In the past, no one was mining, but now that there are people, production should be expanded. It will be used one day in the future. Liang Chengdong also submitted a plan to build several more collective farms across Hainan Island and adopt militarized management following the model of the Xinjiang Construction Corps in later generations. Yulin Bay is still not self-sufficient in food, and a large amount of food needs to be purchased from Vietnam. Liang Chengdong was worried that once war broke out with Vietnam, the import of food would be cut off. Building more farms can be considered as killing two birds with one stone, solving both the food problem and the employment problem. Anyway, there is a lot of wasteland in Hainan Island now. In addition, Luan Xu also expressed some of his opinions. Although the ring road has been completed, the roads within the entire island have not changed at all, almost exactly the same as ten years ago. Although Yulin Bay now controls the entire Hainan, its real control is still in the county towns of various states and counties, and it still has not been able to extend its tentacles to the countryside below the county towns. Therefore, Luan Xu suggested that we continue to build roads so that every village can be connected to roads and truly control Hainan Island. After listening to Wei Yang's introduction, Zhang Guodong looked around with a smile: "You can do it. You have proposed many methods. Wouldn't it be easy to solve the employment problem by following these methods? Why is your committee still so big? "Chairman Zhang, we have no money." Bank President Cheng Yiyi said, "Every suggestion they make will cost a lot of money, and our finances can't bear it these days." Isn't it a good time?" Zheng Jiang asked, "I heard that tax collection has been good and business has been greatly improved. Why are we short of money again?" "Chairman Zheng, this is not because of your military problem." He smiled and said, "You have to reorganize the two armies, and the navy also has new requirements. By the end of the year, I will save at least 500,000 military expenses for you. How can I have money for anything else." Zheng Jiang stuck out his tongue. No more talking. "Chairman Wang." Zhang Guodong asked, "Do you have a final plan now?" "We just discussed it." Wang Jian replied, "In addition to military expenses and necessary expenses, the money left for the committee is only 30 We want to find two mines to develop first and build two collective farms at the same time, but this can't accommodate many people, not even the current 30,000 people, let alone the 80,000 people who are coming soon. I also want to ask for advice on how much your military can accommodate and whether it can be expanded. " "It's difficult." Zhang Guodong shook his head, "Yiyi also said just now that reorganizing these two armies will cost 500,000 yuan. There is no such money for expansion. But don¡¯t worry, our military will go back and discuss whether we can send a group of people to Vietnam. Li Fuqiang is doing well in growing pepper in Vietnam.¡± The meeting ended quickly. The committee came up with a provisional resolution. Don't?Don't worry about it for now, build two mines and farms first, and house as many as you can. This is better than doing nothing. As for the rest, let¡¯s talk about it during the time travel conference. Ye Yan had just returned home from get off work when Luo Shi called him to the innermost courtyard. The Ye family is now the fifth courtyard. Ye Yan, Ye Zhan and Ye Li each live in a small courtyard. Ye Sunquan, Luo Shi, Ye Jie and Ye Bing live in the innermost courtyard, and the rest of the maids live in small groups. In the outermost courtyard, there are almost 30 people in the entire Ye family. :. :
