Wang Jian pointed at Xu Lang: "You said you, when did you learn to cheat and deceive." Xu Lang laughed and stood up: "Chairman Wang, I have found a reason for you. What should I do specifically? You still got Guangzhou discussed with Qin Songwang, I have nothing to do with this, so I'll say goodbye." Xu Lang returned to the General Staff after coming out of Wang Jian's place. As soon as he arrived at the General Staff's gate, he saw Leng Tianbing walking out with a folder under his arm: "Tianbing. "Where are you going?" "You came back just in time." Leng Tianbing stopped, "Your Mingyan came to see you just now and asked you to go home early today." "Is there anything going on at home?" "Xu Lang asked. "I don't know about that, and Ming Yan didn't say anything." Leng Tianbing added, "If nothing happens, you can go home in the afternoon. Maybe Yiyi has something to do with you, so I have to go to Zheng Jiang's place." "Tian Bing, please wait." Xu Lang grabbed Leng Tianbing who was about to leave, turned around to see that no one was around, and asked in a low voice, "I have told you about Gao Chen, when will I let him come back?" It's appropriate. He's almost growing hairy from holding himself back." Leng Tianbing smiled and said, "You two are just pretending. I have no other objections. He can come back anytime he wants. But let's talk first. Okay, I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong, it's all your idea." "Okay, I understand, as long as you say this." Xu Lang slapped Leng Tianbing and entered the general staff building. Xu Lang arranged his work in the afternoon and went home from get off work an hour early. As soon as Xu Lang entered the courtyard, he heard a burst of laughter and the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen. Xu Lang did not enter the house, but turned directly into the kitchen on the side of the yard. In the kitchen, Mrs. Chen was frying vegetables, Qingwen and Sheyue were working on the side, and the three of them were talking and laughing together. Xu Lang stood at the door and saw that the kitchen was full of chicken, duck and fish, and asked with some confusion: "Miss Chen, why did you come back so early today? Why did you get so many delicious food today? Is someone coming to visit?" Chen Shi turned around and saw Xu Lang standing at the door, and said with a smile: "No wonder Sister Yiyi and Sister Zhiruo said you don't care about anything. There are guests today, but I think Mr. Xu has completely forgotten about it. "Xu Lang smiled. He really couldn't remember who he wanted to invite today: "Where are Mo Hua and Siqin? Haven't they finished school yet?" The three people in the kitchen covered their mouths and laughed, and Xu Lang became even more excited. Strange: "Why are you laughing? Who is the guest today?" She Yue stood up and took Xu Lang's arm: "Mr. Xu, come with me to see, the guests have arrived early." Xu Lang was pulled by She Yue Entering the living room, Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo were sitting in the living room, and two boys of eighteen or nineteen years old were sitting on the chairs below. When the two boys saw Xu Lang coming in, they stood up and called out: "General Xu." "Ang, sit down, sit down." Xu Lang said hello, and unconsciously looked the two boys up and down. He is quite handsome personally. Xu Lang remembered that it was his future son-in-law who came to pay homage to his father-in-law. "Xu Lang, let me introduce you." Zhao Zhiruo pointed to a slightly taller man and said, "This young man is a former classmate of Si Qin, his name is Wu Nan, and he now works in the Industrial Bureau." Wu Nan bowed to Xu Lang Bow: "Hello, General Xu. Students have always admired General Xu's reputation, and I just had the honor to meet the general today." "You're welcome." Xu Lang said with a smile, "Since you are Si Qin's classmate, you are just like our child." Zhao Zhiruo Then he pointed to the one next to him and said: "This young master is from Wanzhou, his name is Cao Kun, and he is now doing business in Yulin Bay." Cao Kun also bowed: "Hello, General Xu." "We are at home, there is no need to be like this. Just call me Mr. Xu." Xu Lang asked the two of them to sit down, casually asked about their situation, and then turned to ask, "Have Mr. Lu and Aunt He come back? Miss Chen's meal should be prepared. That's almost it." "Let's wait a little longer." Zhao Zhiruo said, "There are a lot of things in the school today. Maybe the two old people will be back a little later." "Isn't Aunt He not the principal?" Xu Lang said a little strangely. The second elder only teaches classes now, so there¡¯s nothing wrong with him.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not the principal anymore,¡± Zhao Zhiruo said with a smile, ¡°But if anything happens in the school and the Education Bureau, we still have to ask Aunt He.¡± Xu Lang felt that this was the case. Something seemed amiss, but I didn't think much more about it. After talking to Zhao Zhiruo for a while, seeing Wu Nan and Cao Kun sitting there a little restrained, they couldn't help but smile and said: "Two young masters, if this is not an appropriate question, how do you drink?" Neither of them understood why Xu Lang did this. Suddenly asked this question, they all answered together: "Reply to Mr. Xu, would you like to have a few drinks?"So, I can¡¯t drink too much. " "Hehehehe. Xu Lang smiled and said, "As long as you can have a drink, you can have a few drinks with me in a while." " Cheng Yiyi glared at Xu Lang from the side, and Xu Lang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as everyone is happy. " While everyone was talking, Lu Tianxiang and his wife went home from get off work. Cheng Yiyi asked Qingwen to call Siqin and Mo Hua. The Xu family has a total of 15 people with four children, plus Wu Nan and Cao Kun , 17 people crowded around a big table. Chen and Zhao Zhiruo each held a child. When they were preparing to eat, Cheng Yiyi quietly told Lu Tianxiang and his wife the purpose of the two boys. Wu Nan and Cao Kun kept cheering with their wine glasses. Everyone sat down, and Lu Tianxiang said: "You two gentlemen, since you are here, treat this place as your home. Mr. Xu and we are very easy-going. From now on. You will know as time goes by. Come, let's drink. " Wu Nan and Cao Kun quickly raised their glasses and replied: "Thank you, Mr. Lu. Xu Lang put down his glass and asked, "Mr. Cao, what kind of business are you doing now? Is it doing business with Westerners?" " "Return to Mr. Xu. "Cao Kun said, "I'm not doing business for myself, I'm helping my relatives. We have some contacts with Westerners, and we do everything. As long as they want it, we will do it. " "oh. "Xu Lang nodded and Cheng Yiyi said, "Even though Mr. Cao is young, he is very motivated and is now the shopkeeper of their shop. " "Don't dare, Mr. Cheng. "Cao Kun said with a smile, "It's all appreciated and promoted by my boss. " With Cheng Yiyi watching, and since it was the first time for both of them to meet Xu Lang, Xu Lang didn't drink much. After eating for nearly an hour, Wu Nan and Cao Kun left. Zhao Zhiruo gave them some more gifts. Xu Lang was optimistic about these two children. Xu Lang no longer took care of the following matters. Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo arranged everything. The Military Commission held another meeting at the end of the month. Jiang Beiming. After passing on the situation in the north, Wang Hua went to Dengzhou to wait for the news. Liang Er and his men returned to Yakesa City to investigate. The soldiers and horses of King Qin from all walks of life had also returned. Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou were still continuing to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng in Xi'an. . As for Tao Min, he has now returned to North Korea, and his next move is unclear. After listening to Zheng Jiang¡¯s story, Xu Lang tilted his head and asked, ¡°Is this the end? Nothing else? " "It's over. "Zheng Jiang looked at Xu Lang inexplicably, "What else do you want. " "Hey, this Chongzhen. Xu Lang smiled and said, "I worked so hard to fight this battle for him, and now it's over. I haven't been promoted for any reason. I'm still a general." " Xu Lang's words caused a burst of laughter. Zheng Jiang finally stopped laughing: "You are really an official fan. But it doesn¡¯t matter if Chongzhen doesn¡¯t give you a promotion, I will give you a promotion. " Zheng Jiang took out a document and placed it in front of everyone: "This is the personnel arrangement for the two armies that Chairman Zhang and I discussed. See if you have any opinions. " Jiang Beiming, Zhang Hai and others are still staying in Beijing. Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang are still in Xuanfu Town and Datong Town. This has not changed. They just promoted Zhang Hai to the rank of brigadier general. Yulin Bay and Vietnam formed two according to Leng Tianbing's opinions. Army, the commander of the First Army, Han Wantao, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general; it has three divisions, the deputy commander of the first division, Ye Zhan; the deputy commander of the second division, Andreas; and the deputy commander of the third division, Xu Tianbin, were promoted to brigadier general at the same time. Because the cavalry division suffered heavy losses in Beijing, and Ye Zhan and Andreas were not time travellers, Zheng Jiang was worried that the time travel conference would not approve if these two men were promoted from colonel to major general division commander at once, so he left. A compromise route was to be promoted to brigadier general and deputy division commander first. In order to balance, Xu Tianbin was also promoted to brigadier general. The three divisions did not have division commanders for the time being. Since the Second Army was a type B army, it adopted the military camp model, so Li Fuqiang remained unchanged for the time being. They are the major generals. Brigadier General Lin Zhaolong, commander of the first brigade; Brigadier General Zhao Qi, commander of the second brigade; Brigadier General He Chaoyong, commander of the third brigade. Both armies no longer form separate artillery divisions and cavalry divisions, but combine artillery and cavalry divisions. In addition, the Yulin Bay Military Academy and the General Staff were officially upgraded to the full division level, Wang Hua and Xu Lang were promoted to major generals, and Leng Tianbing was promoted to commodore. There are also new arrangements for the combined fleet. There are eighteen warships, and the cost of daily maintenance alone is a lot of money. Tao Min has no power at sea, and his relationship with the Westerners is currently good, so there should be no major conflicts in the near future. This means that the combined fleet was reduced to twelve warships, and the Pearl, Guangdong, and Fujian were designated as the First Fleet. Zeng Guangxian served as commander of the combined fleet and commander of the First Fleet, and was promoted to lieutenant general, including the Fuzhou and four other 500-ton warships. It was organized into the Second Fleet and was stationed in Dengzhou. Wang Zhaoxing served as Fleet Director.Order, promoted to major general. The remaining one 500-ton warship and four 30-ton gunboats were organized into the Third Fleet, stationed in Puliango and Singapore, with Zhao Dequan serving as Commodore Commander. After everyone read the arrangement, Zhang Guodong asked Zeng Guangxian: "Guangxian, do you have any objections to the downsizing of the combined fleet? This is your navy's business." "Chairman Zhang, I also know that there are some difficulties in funding, I have no objections. "Zeng Guangxian replied, "But I have two requirements. The first is that the retired 30 gunboats should not be sold yet, but can be parked in the dock or temporarily assigned to the customs anti-smuggling team, because in the event of another large-scale naval battle. "We still need to expand the combined fleet." "That's no problem, that's what we plan to do." Zheng Jiang asked, "What is your second request?" "I want to promote Da Silva and Fernandez to colonels. Let them serve as captains of the Guangdong and Fujian. "Aren't the captains of these two battleships An Yuhang and Xin Jiaju?" Leng Tianbing interjected and asked, "If Westerners become captains, why would they go there?" "Hehe." Zeng Guangxian said with a smile, "Our Navy Department has a new plan to establish a separate professional naval military academy. At present, the main focus of our Yulin Bay Military Academy is the army. Wang Hua is also from the army and does not know much about the navy. Understood. The naval department he is engaged in is not very professional, so I think it is better for our naval department to do it ourselves." "Guangxian, is this necessary?" Xu Lang said, "It is not easy to build a military academy. Yes, and it¡¯s a naval academy.¡± ¡°It¡¯s actually not that difficult,¡± Zeng Guangxian replied, ¡°In the future, the world will be a maritime world, and it will be very troublesome for us not to have a professional military academy to train professional talents.¡± It also makes sense. It is impossible to build a navy without professional talents." Zhang Guodong also had a background in the navy before time travel. He agreed with Zeng Guangxian's opinion. "I would like to make a suggestion and ask the Navy to come up with a detailed plan and report it to the time travel conference. When it comes to increasing military expenditures, it must be approved by the Cross-Travel Congress. "After Zhang Guodong said this, no one else raised any opinions, and the entire army's establishment issue was decided. After the meeting, Xu Lang went to the hospital, but did not find Gao Chen in the ward. Xu Lang turned around and finally saw Gao Chen on the grass outside the hospital. Xu Lang almost stopped laughing. Gao Chen's head, arms, and legs were all wrapped with gauze, and he had a cane under his arm. He was limping and walking with difficulty. "Gao Chen." Xu Lang shouted, quickly stepped forward to support Gao Chen, and secretly pinched his arm, "How are you doing? How have you been recovering in the past few days?" Gao Chen turned away. , the smile on his face was uglier than crying: "Sir, can you not break off the engagement? Take me back quickly. Who can bear to pretend to be a cripple every day?" Have you been pretending for so long?" Xu Lang couldn't help laughing, "No news from Yazhou?" "Someone from that girl's house came to visit me a few days ago and asked me some questions and my future plans. They responded as you ordered, but they didn't say anything. "No expression at all?" Xu Lang didn't believe it. "I didn't make it clear." Gao Chen thought for a while, "But my attitude was quite cold, especially after I said that I might retire and go home in the future. And I also told them that this time it was because of my responsibility, so the retirement fee was very high. Maybe it's gone." Xu Lang stared at Gao Chen's crutches: "You have to pretend for a few more days. I said hello to Deputy Chief of Staff Leng. As soon as the engagement is cancelled, you will return to the General Staff."
