Chapter 872: Before the University Starts (Part 2)
In the suburbs of Beijing, the military headquarters of the Hualong Empire.
The majestic lintel and the relief of legendary heroes of all generations give people a solemn and serious feeling. Military vehicles from the non-military region must pass identity verification before entering the gate. After passing through the gate, one whistle is five steps and one staircase is ten steps, and the guard is extremely strict.
This place is not only the Hualong Empire Military Headquarters, but also the Imperial General Staff, General Equipment Headquarters, Central Military Region Command, etc., and also the most elite armored legion in the Central Military Region is stationed.
In the military compound, there are leisurely green and leisurely buildings, most of which are old bungalows. The military building only has three floors, which is very inconspicuous. It is just like the underground garage not far away, but there are intercontinental missile trucks parked in the garage...
Bai Lu walked into the military building with a hint of uneasiness. This was not the first time he came to the military headquarters. It can be said that he was familiar with the road. The last time he came to discuss business, he was of course arrogant. This time he represented the Bai family Canglan Duanxue Army. His identities were different. After all, he was just a student of the Hualong Empire Military Academy last time, and he was not a soldier of the imperial army. Now that he graduated, he is already a second lieutenant of the empire. Putting aside the identity of the leader of the Bai family, just in terms of the military rank, everyone in the military headquarters was his superiors at this time. Even the guards who arranged the meeting site were higher than him.
If he was wearing the Imperial Second Lieutenant uniform today, then he would be his younger brother and would not even be able to enter the military building.
The white military uniform that Bai Lu wore at this time was very similar to the military uniform of the Hualong Empire Navy, but the style was slightly different. Compared with the more fancy and gorgeous, it looked more like a military dress. His eaves were the rank of generals, but it was different from the eaves of the Hualong Empire. The eaves were the national emblem, while his eaves were the clan emblem. His only confidence was that the Canglan Duanxue Army was not inferior to any army in the Hualong Empire, and his historical record was invincible...
Hundreds of military senior officials were already waiting in front of the conference room of the military building. The meeting only started at two o'clock, but most of the military senior officials who attended the meeting arrived.
Looking around, most of the white deer are old men, and the younger ones are forty years old. There are many young generals in the empire in their thirties, but most of them are high-ranking military ranks but not high-ranking military positions, and all of them are powerful officers with high-ranking military ranks and high-ranking military positions.
After the venue was arranged, except for famous brands, there was only one cup of tea. Everyone entered the venue in an orderly manner and found their seats according to the military and military region. Bai Lu looked around and found that his seat was on the main platform in the middle, just next to Shangguan Polu, the new Hualong Empire military marshal.
There are only thirteen positions in the main platform in the middle, namely the Imperial Marshal, the Marshal of the Navy, Army and Air Force, and the commander of the Nine Military Regions.
As soon as Bai Lu took the seat, she received attention from all directions. The seats on the main platform were all old men. His tender face was naturally extremely eye-catching. Of course, he was wearing a special military uniform, and even if he didn't know him, he guessed his identity at the first time.
Canglan Duanxue Army is the private army of the Bai family. It does not receive the imperial military expenses and pay, is not directly commanded by the empire, and does not usually participate in the meetings of the imperial military headquarters. It is just that the situation today is special, so Bai Lu appears here...
The venue suddenly became quiet. It turned out that the three big men of the Hualong Empire military entered the venue. The new Grand Marshal of the Empire, the Navy Marshal, and the Air Marshal of the Empire. Since the new Army Marshal has not yet been elected, there are only three giants.
The audience stood up and saluted. After the three bigwigs returned the salute, they took their seats respectively.
The seats between Bai Lu and Shangguan Polu belong to the Field Marshal. Since the Field Marshal is temporarily short, Bai Lu and Shangguan Polu are only separated by one empty seat.
Shangguan Polu glanced at the Bai Lu who was depressed and said, "I hope that in the near future, you will sit here as the commander of the Northwest Military Region."
Bai Lu smiled embarrassedly and did not reply. The position of commander of the Northwest Military Region of the Hualong Empire, that is, the position of Minister of Military Affairs of the Northwest, has been left empty for a long time. None of the former leaders of the Bai family can take this position. To take this position, not only do you need to obtain enough military merits in the empire and be promoted to a certain military rank, but you also need to have a high reputation and deterrence.
Shangguan Polu looked at Bai Lu who was silent. In peacetime, he could not obtain military merit through wars, and most of them could only obtain military defense construction. However, Bai Lu had an advantage in one place. As long as he was willing to sell weapons to the empire at a low price, it would be equivalent to making contributions to national defense construction. Credit was naturally indispensable. As for establishing reputation and deterrence in the imperial army, it was difficult.
The host of the meeting was the commander of the Central Military Region. After he announced the start of the meeting, Shangguan Polu delivered a speech on performing his duties.
Shangguan Polu's performance report was dozens of pages, and Bai Lu was stunned when he sat aside. Are there so many? In comparison, his performance report only had three poor pages...
In addition to the goal planning and results expectations of the future construction of the army, Shangguan Polu's performance report also added several military disciplines, personnel appointments and removals.
Once the emperor and the ministers were born, Shangguan Polu had just taken office, and many of them had just made small mistakes, such as violating military discipline, not handling military affairs in time, failing to meet the standards in the training of troops, and using military vehicles for personal use, they were dismissed.
Shangguan Polu's style has always been upright and selfless. Among the dismissed officers, he has many favorite generals from his students.
There will naturally be a responsibility when the troops are dismissed. Many troops have changed their leaders, and Bai Lu has also been officially appointed as a counselor of the Northwest Military Region. Every leader of the Bai family will hold a position as a counselor of the Northwest Military Region, but if you want to be promoted to a higher position, you need military achievements and reputation...
After Shangguan Polu finished his performance report, it was the turn of commanders from each war zone to report his performance.
Starting from the commander of the central theater commander, the commanders of each theater walked to the microphone at the front desk in turn and began to report. After listening to the commanders of the four theater commanders, Bai Lu's uneasiness disappeared. He found that the content of the report of the commanders of each theater commander was similar and concise. The content of his report was similar. There was no far-sighted plan, and the goal plan could be achieved in the short term.
Bai Lu was the last one to come to the stage and successfully completed her performance report.
After listening to the performance reports of the commanders of major military regions, Shangguan Polu made a summary and the meeting ended.
After the meeting, Bai Lu followed Shangguan Polu and slowly walked out of the military conference hall. Most of the officers walking in front left quickly. Only familiar farewells were said to each other, no one politely greeted each other, and no one went to flatter Shangguan Polu...
Bai Lu remembered the confession of the demon god. Shangguan Polu was a selfless person. He hated the formation of gangs among officers and the connection between relatives. Therefore, the army under his rule strictly prohibited officers from gathering together. Never congratulate him on his promotion to the Imperial Marshal of Army and Horses, which was digging his own grave.
