Chapter 1468 The Horn of Counterattack

Thank you for coming, we welcome your investment, and your people will receive the best treatment in this world. Of course, you still need to pay more attention to safety."

At the New National Assembly, the speaker finished his speech and the audience applauded.

On the conference table next to it, there was the contract that had just been signed.

The "Package Agreement on Progressive Cooperation between the Eastern Kingdom and the Land of Dawn" includes a series of contents such as "tourism", "investment", and "national treatment".

The core thing is probably the so-called open tourism content, or the "comprador contract" in this name.

"If the borders are opened to an unlimited extent, and you can obtain national status when you come in, there will be free currency exchange, and there will be unlimited liberalization of investment. Is it obvious that you don't care about anything and give up most of your sovereignty, can it be counted as a 'tourist'?"

It was an eye-opener for Lu Ping'an. These professional political officers did have two skills.

When a very sensitive and important matter must be passed through legislation, but as low-key as possible, how should we deal with it?

"Create another title, use a hot spot to stun everyone, and then quickly pass the key and sensitive content as additional regulations and supplementary clauses."

When most people read news and comment articles, they only read the introduction. It is not necessary to read the main text. In this era, it is impossible to go online for the full text. You can only apply to the professional department to view it.

Unless you have the ability and leisure to directly request the original documents from the Parliament, it is impossible to see those supplementary clauses. Even if news breaks out, most of the world's first-line news media are in the hands of people from the East.

Dongguo people have suffered too much in this regard and have learned this trick. As far as Lu Ping'an knows, some scattered media are now being acquired by Dongguo.

"Tens of millions of tourist visas, it's a shame they thought of it"

In fact, even this tourist visa (ID card) was issued by the official side of Dongguo, and it was not even kept on file by New Guoan.

Once you land, you will have the status of a citizen of the new country, and you will have all the benefits you deserve. This was what Ms. Lin had negotiated with the new country before, and now it has only been further implemented. The original negotiators never expected that they would suddenly go from tens of thousands to When the scale reaches tens of millions, the nature has completely changed.

But with the scale reaching this level, it would be unjustifiable to introduce a large-scale tax exemption, so this aspect was discussed again.

The tax system is the same as that of ordinary citizens here. It is not a good thing to have double standards here. It is tantamount to planting a bomb of racial conflicts but you can get tax exemptions and tax reductions.

Some lords still enjoy substantial tax reductions within a certain period of time. Of course, that is not what the document says. What the document says is that "taxes can be deducted by investing in national infrastructure construction and national welfare."

To put it simply, the lord can build bridges, roads, power plants, and schools in his territory, and the investment amount will be treated as taxes.

Sound familiar? This is really not Lu's original creation. Many people on earth do this, but they do it even more excessively.

This means that as long as the lords continue to invest in the construction of their territories, they do not need to pay taxes to the capital. The reason why the capital does not object is that they could not collect taxes in the first place, but now they can pay more or less.

"Let's go."

Lu Pingan chose to leave. With his current status, he no longer had much need to interfere in these specific matters.

He just came over to take a look at the situation and confirm the work ability of these people. As long as they did not do too badly, Lu Ping An would not say anything. Judging from the current results, these outsiders are the experts in administration, and Lu Ping An would not say anything. Reassured.

He also has some more important things. Now that he has learned about the "future", he naturally has to plan ahead.

"Lulu, be prepared, you will be in charge within half a year."

The process of going to the military academy again was quite smooth. Those students would even take the initiative to say hello when they saw Lu Ping'an. After all, this "specially appointed teacher" not only came more frequently, but the open class on the introduction to the battlefield that he occasionally attended was always full. .

".I see."

"Uh, don't you ask why?"

"I'm not blind. People in the council have told me, and Lin Nu's allies have also urged me several times. The front line is too bad and we can't continue to waste it like this."

Lu Lu put down the pen in her hand and rubbed her eyebrows. After more than half a year, she felt like she had aged ten years as the principal.

The expected counterattack has already happened, and the worst thing about a major counterattack is that no one can feel its existence.

Counterattack? If not.

The current military minister is already quite good, having absorbed the experience of his predecessors. Although his position is high, the people he can dispatch are actually his own people, and what he can actually do is quite limited.

The New Country has always been a shell. Warlords in various places still control their own power. All tributaries of the Salvation Army are seizing time to develop. They lack the motivation to counterattack and fill in the lines.

This is not to say that they refused the call of the military headquarters to form a frontline brigade, which could be fully or even overstretched and fully armed, or it could be half a battalion of slave soldiers.

These days, there is no shortage of labor. As long as you have money to buy some cannon fodder, it is easy to imagine the power those "warlords" can use.

It’s not that there is no way to break it, it’s still quite “feudal” here. When the “royal power” has enough reputation and has achieved enough achievements, the “knights and lords” will naturally be obedient, otherwise they will have to bear the consequences of being disloyal. cost.

But now, successive military ministers are trapped in this dead cycle. He needs performance and reputation to gain the obedience of his subordinates, and only by winning the front line can he obtain these. The problem is that the front line cannot win now, and there must be something else. Only the obedience and dedication of subordinates can turn things around.

This is not without a way to break the situation. The Minister of Military Affairs personally leads the team or his close associates to fight and win some battles in a row. Then he can snowball victory and get more support and reinforcements. As he fights, he will naturally become a leader. De facto military controller.

It's not that there is no way at all, but the prerequisite is that he is strong enough and dares to risk his life. In the past half year, all parties have been restrained, so the ability of the military minister who came to power is quite subtle.

It is a taboo for generals to be greedy for merit and cherish life for small gains. They may be strong or excellent battlefield commanders, but they are obviously not qualified to be commanders.

On the contrary, the reputation of Lu Lu, who had retired at the beginning, has become higher and higher. Four phases of military academy committee members have been produced. Those high-quality grassroots and middle-level commanders have indeed changed the situation on the battlefield. When all parties are stagnant, she has always been He is making his own contribution and strengthening the strength of the entire army.

And this comparison has not been buried.

In the media controlled by the Dongguo people, her contribution is expanding day by day, and people have long called for her to return to power (Lu really has no money in this regard, and he feels that it is not time).

"Is it time?" Lulu was still a little hesitant and opened the bow without turning back.

"Of course. Help has arrived, and it's time to launch a real major counterattack." It would be really difficult to miss this opportunity. It is impossible for the Dongguo people to give this "credit" to outsiders.

"They can still do well even if I'm not around." It was still difficult for Lulu to take this step.

It's not that she doesn't dare to fight anymore, or that she is satisfied with the situation on the front line, but she is not willing to give up casually on the military academy side.

"Then, this achievement may belong to him. If he secures his position with this achievement, are you sure you will let a mediocre and coward become the top military commander and let him control the life and death of the frontline soldiers?"

"Okay, give me some time to handle school work."

"Don't worry, a group of active-duty officers from the Eastern Kingdom will come over to serve as instructors. They will greatly enhance the quality of grassroots commanders."

".Getting uneasy."

Lulu sighed, she seemed to have no other choice.

I hope your choice will not be wrong.

The next day, all major media reported on the frontline's defeat at the same time. Negative news about "corruption," "logistical disadvantages," and "no rescue for injuries and illnesses" were overwhelming. All conflicts were ultimately directed at the military.
