Chapter 56 Chapter 213 Being Dragged to the Gambling Table and Adding Chips!
Chapter 56 Chapter 2.13 Being dragged to the gambling table, raising chips!
Protectorate of the Western Regions. After Qin Tongli 2195, various investments in technology and management entered, and the logistics system was updated on a large scale. The animal husbandry and agriculture here began to grow explosively. At the same time, a large number of inland civilian industrial products also flowed here.
The most intuitive thing is that there are many barbecue restaurants opened on Xin Loulan Street. Every evening, the street always smells of cumin.
In the past, every family used charcoal barbecue, and the maximum number of guests was a dozen or so during the busiest times. But now it has two floors, using pure metal cooking utensils.
In the large oven with a glass display window in front of the store, a whole lamb is slowly turning, and the meat oil slides off the crispy skin.
The chefs with shiny bald heads sliced all the grilled meat, covered it with metal insulation lids, and brought it to the diners' tables. While the guests were enjoying the air conditioning, they used chopsticks to break open the golden and crispy barbecue skin. Hey, that's a treat.
In the past, people here were poor and could only raise sheep or collect local jade and send it to the Central Plains.
Now, when this logistics is opened, the large "sunset industry" in the Guanzhong area suddenly "resurrected". Sheep and cotton began to be produced on a large scale, and potassium salt and electric energy were imported to the east hundreds of times more than in the past. At the same time, after receiving the guarantee of the platform, the online merchants in the customs sold everything from toothpaste cups to medium-sized household appliances and air conditioners. With a whole solar panel, simple houses that can be assembled are constantly being produced.
…
Due to the abundant supplies, the warriors stationed here have no longer been living in poverty in recent years.
In a newly opened restaurant in Xinloulan, a group of non-commissioned officers who had just finished their training were so greedy that they took off their military uniforms and ran here to book a table for food. Beef bones, mutton, etc. are indispensable, and in the center of the table is a large plate of chicken stir-fried with spicy sauce.
The person sitting in the main seat now is Zhao Luochei, the commander-in-chief (major) here, and the guest seat next to him is Bai Yiyun, who has just come here after a long journey. Judging from the relationship between the two, it is very strong.
Because five years ago, in the Kyoto area, Zhao Luochi, who was still a young military attache at the time, participated in a nasty incident of a fight between military attaches in the foreign missions, and was therefore directly transferred to the Western Regions to eat sand and dust.
Zhao Luochi was born into a well-known military family, and Bai Yiyun, a low-ranking member of the lower class, was initially at the outermost circle of his friends. But Zhao Luo was relegated to a foreigner, so Bai had the opportunity to have a close relationship with him.
Over the years, it has been Bai who has provided funds for Zhao Luochi.
And Zhao Luochei also has some abilities. In the Western Region, not all his lavish spending in recent years has been wasted. He has won over a large number of bloody warriors in the army. Now, riding on the westward wind of Luoshui, he is also investing backhand. The local salt mine has been used, which has resulted in no shortage of funds in the past two years.
Zhao is indeed a capable man, and he is now the leader of the army!
In the Wei Qiang Nabo timeline, the conflict between China and Soviet Russia in Asia and China had a lot to do with these Sechuang factions.
And this kind of thing is inevitable. The operation of China has stagnated, and there are many people at the bottom who are unemployed.
The top figures in China are on strict guard against Soviet Russia's Red ideology, especially in the Western Regions. Due to the geographical proximity, Red insurrectionists are most likely to appear. So that route is demonized in the narrative.
But contradictions still exist. Since they cannot think in that direction, those who are dissatisfied with the status quo can only vent in the direction of "foolishness and madness".
…
In fact, according to China's current strict classification of Chiban rebels, almost all of them are within the economic organizations established by Luoshui Group and Wei Keng.
According to Wei Keng's own standards, he was unceremonious in his judgment of the scholars under his command who had some brains: "Just you? Chi? Haha, hey, the real Chi disciples should be thinking about how to bring them to me now. A noose, one end of the noose is in the hands of the people, and the other end is connected to the street lamp, instead of now, after seeing the possibility of improvement, it is a fluke.”
The reality is so funny. After the carnivores in China created a mess, they didn't dare to make people think. They wanted to pry open the brains of everyone who had read the book and lock them all.
Wei Keng kept going against common sense to clean up the mess in China, and after gathering these smart people together, he wanted to enlighten them, but these guys gave up after half a century, and pinned the final possible problem on the "high-ranking sages".
Never fundamentally doubting the model, this is such a "road confidence", and it is an inherent flaw of Eastern civilization that can only "format etiquette".
…
Zhao Luochi and Bai Yiyun then met alone to exchange some things that "they felt were very important to boost the country's power."
When Bai Yiyun left,
Zhao Luochi returned to the army, and a few days later he started a meeting with members of the secret party in the army: "Comrades, we have funds."
At this time, deputy Huang Qi asked: "Where did the funds come from?" Obviously, he was confused about the sudden extra money.
Zhao Luochei: "It's provided by the martyrs who support our work in the south."
Someone else asked: "Is there any conspiracy in the south?"
Zhao Luochei: "We act with integrity, and no one in China will succeed in plotting against us."
…
A few months later,
The perspective shifts to Mobei, thousands of miles away. In this military exercise, Wei Keng is beginning to simulate the wolf army for the Shenzhou Group.
The wolf army = foreign army, and the mighty own troops in China are the tiger army.
But now, in the past few years, the model that should have been the default for the Tiger Army to win has become increasingly difficult.
It seems that there is a lack of water in the desert, so Wei Keng did not put any water.
The speed of the wolf army of Master Wei is extremely fast. When the equipment is dispatched, the failure rate is obviously lower than that of other corps in Shenzhou. Obviously, the whole army has a much deeper understanding of the equipment and the maintenance level.
During the march, all routes are fully digitized for reconnaissance, and the speed of building pontoon bridges is first-class.
After entering the front line, the artillery is divided into small pieces, suddenly approaching the front line, and immediately retreating after a round of shooting. Even though the chief officers of all parties have raised their defense systems and the armored blood volume of the troops on the template of the exercise, they are still beaten up.
Moreover, in recent times, Wei Keng's wolf army has become more cunning.
The characteristics of the decision-making team of each corps have been found, and there have been cases of direct single-handed beheading in the early stage of the exercise.
Wei Keng has information cases of decision-making by various armies in Shenzhou in various timelines. When a corps decision-making level is determined by only a small number of people for a long time, the variability is extremely weak, and it is very easy to calculate fatal loopholes.
Look, when there is no exercise, Wei Keng is popular among his fellow military officers in the Shenzhou Army.
However, when there is an exercise, Wei Keng becomes a "rat, weasel, thief..." in the mouths of various military officers because he blocks everyone's promotion path.
Of course, Wei Keng does not look at people during the exercise, and all of them are blocked. Moreover, he himself has not been promoted. There is no such thing as stepping on colleagues to climb up, and some resentment gradually turns into self-mockery.
However, there is a subtle change in the details of interpersonal relationships.
Although Wei Keng is not praised by everyone, these military officers also began to discuss the situation of the "exercise" when discussing things, that is, to use Wei Keng's corps as a combat unit to discuss their own combat effectiveness.
The gold content of the exercise has been determined, and the generals in the Ministry of War are also happy to see it.
Not seeking promotion, not greedy for credit, doing more and asking for less, and at the same time having a strong foundation to suppress subordinates, it is really perfect.
But what about this perfect subordinate? The generals are currently collecting statistics on the combat data of various armies in Shenzhou. They may not be so clear about the consequences of this matter.
Wei Keng: "What bad intentions do I have? I just want to integrate the 'adjutant' intelligent system through big data and research data. Then let the military officers who have just completed their command studies be able to start commanding immediately."
It is said that it is easy to get thousands of troops but difficult to get a general. For things like war, no matter how well prepared, it is not excessive.
...
After the exercise, the general held Wei Keng: "Ren Heng (Wei Keng's name), come, you have once again pitted your colleagues today. Although you can't drink, you still have to fill the tea, and a cup of tea will make up for the grudges."
Wei Keng can't drink.
This is the endorsement of Wei Keng by the Taoist Quanzhen: alcohol and sex will reduce Wei Keng's "cultivation". Therefore, the general will not force Wei Keng, but the human relationship still drags Wei Keng. And Wei Keng can only serve tea instead of wine one by one. At the same time, he matched the names of these military attachés with the information recorded in the system, and began to talk to them according to their preferences.
Wei Keng felt it necessary to get familiar with them, especially the deputy generals from the Western Regions Protectorate, these senior military attachés who controlled a mechanical armored division or an armored brigade. Wei Keng wanted to know what kind of "strategy" these pig brains, well, these "geniuses" took the initiative to send, so that the Soviet armored torrent could cut off the retreat.
...
In the main world, there is a joke about the Japanese Imperial Army. When Chang Shenkai wondered who was in charge of the Japanese Imperial Army! Someone told him that no one in the headquarters would speak, and the decision-making of the Japanese Imperial Army was led by three types of people: "Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major", that is, the level of colonel.
Behind this joke is a social science. When the upper and lower levels are out of touch, the upper class does not want the middle and lower classes to think, but only obeys orders.
When the middle stream was executing, they actually obtained the power to guide the bottom stream's ideas. Following the upper stream outside the restricted area of thought, they began to use the simple characteristics of the bottom stream's passive obedience to initiate independent action and get promoted.
Shenzhou is very large. After the civil system of the two Song dynasties, the civil officials in Shenjing were not as coerced by the warriors as the Japanese emperors.
However, in the Western Regions, Shenzhou has a bit of Tang style, and the ideas of the middle and lower classes are also "driving out good money with bad money" by the aggressive middle-class military officers.
This is a huge bomb. Even though Wei Keng is defusing the bomb now! For example, in Luoshui's layout of the Western Regions, various industries give priority to recruiting retired military guards from Shenzhou! Alleviate the anxiety of the bottom-level soldiers about their passing age and having no way to go.
However, these middle-level martial arts schools who still live in the grassroots and pursue the center of the power stage may still have an outbreak! From Wei Keng's perspective, the madness of these people must be blocked.
…
After the banquet, Wei Keng did an hour of exercise, then entered the Jie Hongzi entanglement warehouse, highly connected himself to the electronic chip group of the entire western region. Observe the latest information given to him by big data.
In the information column that Wei Keng followed, the color of the organization "Hetian Blood Soldiers" was bright red.
This organization was the group of middle and lower-level warriors who formed a party privately where Zhao Luochi was. Their actions were relatively secretive, but they were still reflected abruptly under the monitoring of big data. The crude actions planned by these people made Wei Keng very speechless.
Wei Keng: "To describe it as arrogant? It will miss their hidden shrewdness. To say that they are shrewd and only cling to their own temporary and single-point control, completely ignoring the consequences, is stupid. And stupid people blindly believe in what they can activate. Strength can achieve the goal, but it can only be said to be arrogant.”
Zhao Luochei's actions: preparing to save the country and cut off the threat of the Rakshasa people to the south, so he believed that China should take more proactive actions in Asia and Central. However, he believed that the top leaders of China had thought too much and had no determination to do it, so he made this determination for China.
The key point was this. He didn't know where the information came from. He knew all the industries invested by the Luoshui Group in the Western Region Protectorate. He felt that once the war started, he would first control these civilian industries and everything else. To serve the war effort. Wait until victory comes after the war before compensating this civilian property.
Note: This is the purpose of Bai Yiyun, the black glove, coming here this time, and the thread behind Bai Yiyun is the man named Xu in the cabinet. It can be said that white gloves cannot solve it, so he will not hesitate to use this method.
…
The "Hetian Blood Soldiers" think they are noble and can ignore some rules and do not reflect on how selfish they are. This directly drives the economic reformers of the Luoshui Big Data Intelligence Center crazy, so they are sorting out the information. At that time, Wei Keng was directly marked in red.
The key people in charge of the overall construction of the Western Region in Luoshui used to hate the black hands from the top scene when they were Qingxiu. But when they sit at the center of the data advantage, they want to directly form a spy group and directly assassinate Get rid of these lunatics.
…
At nine o'clock in the evening, in the virtual conference hall, one hundred and twenty-seven members of the Jinglian core group appeared, and as Wei Keng took his seat in the main seat, the meeting began.
Obviously the first topic is the current situation in the Western Region. If this problem is not solved, these backbones will have no intention to do anything else, because no matter how much they do, they will be taken away by others.
Wei Keng looked at the pop-up windows that kept popping up in front of him. They were all suggestions from these young and energetic people.
After scanning it, Wei Keng shook his head, knocked on the table and said, "Talk to the matter, not the person. The focus of the discussion should be on 'Why do warriors have such thoughts', rather than telling me 'They're just that crazy.' If they're that crazy, you have to think, 'Am I that crazy?'"
These words made the atmosphere in the venue less exciting.
Wei Keng rubbed his head and said with some sadness: "The hidden conflicts between China and the Soviet Union in Asia and China are not just a matter of days - this will not change with the disappearance of radical groups like the Hotan Blood Soldiers. Even though the behavior of the Hotan Blood Soldiers is absolutely wrong, you should not let these two points lead you astray when looking at the problem.
What we want to solve is the overall problem, and the first priority now is to deal with the worst possibility. That's what happens when war breaks out.
Seeing those 'brainless guys' running amok, we should imagine: How would we solve the same problem?
If we also ‘take ten thousand bones and wither them, we will win as one! ’ There is no difference between us and them. "
Wei Keng raised his head and looked at everyone. Under the gaze of a pair of contradictory and confused eyes, he said something: "I have decided to increase investment in the Western Region. Now I have begun to hoard strategic resources in the region and prepare roads. system."
Wei Yue, the middle-aged man on the lower left, stood up quickly and was about to pull Wei Keng's sleeve: "You, sir?"
Wei Keng stared at him. This cousin who had assisted Wei Qiang and Wei Keng suddenly stopped talking.
In this situation, you should not say "no", as that would challenge the authority of the Zong family. But just now he just couldn't bear it anymore.
Wei Keng turned to the venue and spoke eloquently (to prove that he was not crazy): "You want to say that we will lose money, right?"
A few seconds later, when no one could respond, Wei Keng smiled: "Thank you, it's not a big deal, it's just that I can't wear silk clothes, live in a big house, and there are no maids. Then I will go with my clan brothers." , Let’s eat Bangbang rice with you! But I can’t let some fools and the careerists behind them think they can make money!”
Wei Keng opened the strategic map: "In the next few months, I will apply for training on long-distance operations in the Western Regions! I hope that your work will focus on transportation, inventory and other aspects, so that there can be no problems with heavy-haul railways during wartime , once something happens! Instead of waiting for those fools to take over, it's better for us to take the initiative, at least we can understand it, right?"
Wei Keng looked at everyone with a smile. The people present looked confused.
These young talents wondered if Wei Keng was stupid: "How come others come to snatch it away, and why don't they give it away if they don't fight back?"
A few people reacted inwardly, feeling in disbelief, but repeatedly recited the judgment they did not want to confirm: "He (Wei Keng) wants to stud!"
