Chapter 728 Press Conference

That afternoon, Ouyang Shuo arranged Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan properly.

The Nanjiang Governor's Office issued an appointment, appointing Xia Houdun as the director of the combat readiness department under the General Administration of Military Affairs, and Ge Hongliang, the former director of combat readiness, was transferred to the Nanyang Navy Command, which was being established, to be responsible for preparing the logistics system of the Nanyang Navy.

Xia Houdun, a logistical military general, is the most suitable place in the combat readiness department.

Similarly, the Nanyang Naval Command, which is just in its infancy, will soon be on the right track with the assistance of Ge Hongliang, the veteran director of combat readiness.

As for Xia Houyuan, he entered the Army Lecture Hall together with Ma Chao and others, and became a student of the same period.

*************

September 11th, Lingxi City.

Early in the morning, Lingxi City declared martial law throughout the city, especially the inner city, where idlers were not allowed to enter.

Lingxi City is a second-level county city, and it also has two teleportation arrays. White light flickered in the teleportation array in the inner city, and Ouyang Shuo walked out of the teleportation array surrounded by Shenwu guards.

"No clothes, welcome!"

Bai Hua smiled and came up with Violet and others.

Speaking of which, this was Ouyang Shuo's first official visit to Consonance City.

Therefore, the reception standard arranged by Bai Hua this time is very high. Not only the "green, red, purple and white" four major female roles were all present, but also civil servants and military generals such as Cao Shen, Cao Hong and Cao Chun were also on the list one by one.

Give Ouyang Shuo enough face.

Even though martial law has been imposed, such battles still fall into the eyes of "people with a heart". I believe it won't be long before the news of Ouyang Shuo's high-profile appearance in Lingxi City will spread throughout China.

At this juncture, Ouyang Shuo's sudden visit meant something unusual. It has long been predicted that the starting gun of Meng Ding's battle is in Ouyang Shuo's hands, and it may start at any time.

In this way, the spies from all sides are like taking medicine, jumping up and down, trying their best.

The masters behind them got the news, and there were almost unanimous instructions: "Be sure to find out, what is the purpose of Qiyue Wuyi's visit to Lingxi City this time, and whether he is ready to go to war."

Hundreds of thousands or millions of troops participated in the wilderness battle, which was not the same as Shanhai City's siege of the city at that time. It could be launched and ended at any time.

Soldiers are a major event of the country.

Shanhai City has been preparing for this big battle for half a year.

The food, supplies, weapons and equipment consumed during this period, if converted into gold coins, have already exceeded two million. Even Shanhai City couldn't sustain the successive battles.

Therefore, since we want to fight, we must win it in one battle.

No matter which side fails, it will be enough to seriously hurt the vitality, and even collapse.

No one dares to take it lightly.

Even if it was as strong as Shanhai City, the army did not start fighting immediately after it reached the border.

...

After the simple welcome ceremony, Ouyang Shuo and Bai Hua had a two-hour private conversation in the study. Not only did Jia Xu who accompanied him not participate, but Violet and the others were also excluded.

The meeting place was only Ouyang Shuo and Bai Hua.

If it weren't for Ouyang Shuo's "clean and self-disciplined" image that he had always maintained, it would have made people wonder whether the two were having secret talks or dating.

In fact, the conversation between Ouyang Shuo and Bai Hua did not involve this battle.

The specific combat plan for the war has been determined long ago, and the generals will adjust it flexibly during the execution, so the two lords don't need to worry about it, and they can't worry about it.

The two were talking about the post-war situation and the arrangements for Lingxi City.

"In the future, at the right time, Shanhai City will set up the post of provincial governor at the provincial level above the county level. The governor of a certain place and other local admirals will supervise military affairs, food and governors. The post of governor of Yunnan province is for you. What about the ones left?" Ouyang Shuo proposed to annex the biggest bargaining chip of Lingxi City.

The game map is expanded ten times. If Shanhai City occupies Yunnan Province, South Sichuan Province, and Lingnan Province, the combined area of ​​the three major provinces is already equivalent to the complete territory of ancient China.

Not to mention, the territory will continue to expand in the future.

To manage such a vast territory, with the ancient communication conditions, if the Southern Border Protectorate had been connected with the county level, it would not only be too busy, but also inefficient.

Therefore, when the time is right, a provincial governor must be established to assist in the general military and political affairs of the province.

The governor of the province in the game has more power than the governor of the Qing Dynasty. Especially in China, a province is equivalent to a country in Europe.

Being able to be the governor of the province in the China region is basically the limit of Bai Hua, and he is already a well-deserved giant among the lords of the China region.

Didn't see Di Chen, Chun Shenjun and the others, after occupying a province, they didn't rush to continue to expand, but started a long digestion cycle.

Even with the background of their family, it is impossible to swallow a province at once.

Let alone Birch.

Therefore, the conditions proposed by Ouyang Shuo are very tempting to Bai Hua.

"You are generous." Bai Hua smiled, feeling a little surprised in her heart, and then asked, "Where are Violet and the others? How are you going to arrange it?"

Lingxi City is owned by Lingxi Studio, not Baihua alone.

"They are willing to continue to follow you, and they will always find a suitable position in the future Governor's Mansion. If you don't mind, I hope they can find a suitable position in the entire territory according to their respective strengths." The three girls of Violet have their own strengths, Ouyang Shuo naturally didn't want his talent to be buried.

Bai Hua nodded, Ouyang Shuo was very sincere.

"Can you retain the position of General Zhang Liao?" Bai Hua continued to ask.

Zhang Liao is currently serving as the head of the field army of Lingxi City. If Lingxi City is merged into Shanhai City, Zhang Liao may not be able to continue to serve as the head of the army in Shanhai City, which is full of fierce generals.

Anyway, Zhang Liao is also a veteran who has been following Bai Hua.

Bai Hua looks cold, but she is actually very humane in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have fought for Zhang Liao.

Ouyang Shuo thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Yes."

After Shanhai City expanded its army again, the position of regiment commander was no longer the exclusive preserve of imperial generals. In addition, Zhang Liao is regarded as the top existence among the king-level generals, and it is not too much to be the commander of the army.

"Happy cooperation!"

Bai Hua took the initiative to stretch out her white and tender hands.

"Happy cooperation!"

Ouyang Shuo gently held the other's little hand, smiling all over.

If outsiders saw it, they might have regarded them as crazy. Before the battle has even started, they have already decided on their respective territories, which is extremely arrogant.

But both Ouyang Shuo and Bai Hua took it for granted.

Like them, they are all proud people in their bones.

After preparing for so long, Ouyang Shuo never thought of failing!

*************

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Shuo and Bai Hua left the study to attend the press conference that had been prepared long ago. In the hall, the major media headed by "Daily Express" have long been ready.

At the press conference, Bai Hua announced a big news.

"From now on, Lingxi City represents Kunming County as a whole and is incorporated into the Southern Border Protectorate, and is placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Southern Border Protectorate." Bai Hua said lightly.

"Wow!!!"

Even if these reporters were mentally prepared, they never expected such explosive news.

The notification they received only said that there was an important announcement in Consonance City today. Seeing Ouyang Shuo appearing in Lingxi City, the reporter only thought of the battle between Meng Ding and Meng Ding.

Unexpectedly, what I heard was such a news.

"Consonance City is merged into Nanjing Protectorate as a whole? Today is not April Fool's Day!" The reporter broke down in his heart, "Consonance City itself is a tyrant in the wilderness. How is it possible?"

The reporter began to ask: "Excuse me, Lord Baihua, why did you suddenly make this decision?"

"It's not sudden." Bai Hua didn't take the bait, "The cooperation negotiations between Lingxi City and Shanhai City have already started, and this time Lord Wuyi's visit to Lingxi City is for the final confirmation."

"Is it convenient to reveal the specific details of the cooperation? Was Lingxi City forced to be annexed due to the pressure of Shanhai City?" The reporter insisted.

"The details of the cooperation are confidential, and it is inconvenient to announce them to the public." Bai Hua's expression remained unchanged, "The cooperation between Lingxi City and Shanhai City is a win-win process, and there is no coercion."

"Everyone should understand that this is not the first annexation within the [Shanhai League]. As early as two years ago, Mulan County in the Lianzhou Basin was merged into Shanhai City. Mulan Yue, the former lord of Mulan County, is now the governor of Zhen'an County. " Ouyang Shuo didn't care what the reporter was thinking, and patiently explained: "The cooperation between Shanhai City and Lingxi City this time is based on the principle of common development."

When Ouyang Shuo interrupted, the other party was speechless.

Mulanyue was promoted from an unremarkable lord to a sheriff all the way. No one could say that Ouyang Shuo was maliciously deceiving his allies with bad intentions.

Think about the other lords in the Lianzhou Basin, they have long since disappeared.

Only Mulanyue is still active in the wild land, and its light is getting more and more dazzling.

Ouyang Shuo's win-win situation is not empty talk.

It was because of this that Ouyang Shuo was able to gain the trust of Bai Hua and others.

A good reputation is sometimes stronger than an army.

"Excuse me, Lord Wuyi, is this merger aimed at the upcoming Mengding war?" The clever reporter skillfully changed the topic to the upcoming war.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, confident: "The cooperation between Lingxi City and Shanhai City was decided three months ago, and it has nothing to do with the Meng Ding war."

"Of course," Ouyang Shuo changed the subject, "After the merger, the two armies will have a unified command and dispatch. In this way, it will be good for the next big battle. We don't deny this."

"So, the Lord Without Clothes is full of confidence in this battle?"

The last questioner was a reporter from "Daily Express", who was also an old friend of Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo stood up, faced the media, looked straight ahead, and said firmly, "I believe that Shanhai City will win! [Yunnan City-State] takes the initiative to provoke Shanhai City, and the price will be paid in blood!"

The press conference came to an end with Ouyang Shuo's strong words.
