Going to Cloud City is definitely the most difficult option at this stage.
It is reasonable to send Jiang Yue, the youngest and most experienced fighter, to take charge.
Jiang Yue didn't make any conditions or push back, and he happily accepted the order.
Apart from anything else, General Zeng and Deputy General Manager Li also fully recognized this attitude.
"Xiao Jiang, if you have any requests, just ask." General Zeng said generously.
"I have to make a rough plan first so that I can roughly know what requirements I need to make." There must be requirements, but in the current rush, I can't think them through.
General Zeng smiled and said: "There is no rush, you can think about it slowly. We will give you time to prepare. However, the situation in Yuncheng is urgent. It would be best if we can leave early."
"Okay." Jiang Yue answered simply without any nonsense.
General Zeng continued to poke dots on the map, and finally drew a few red circles.
"These are the big cities that must be passed by the Weird Tree in its next expansion. They are fortresses that humans must defend. Six executive directors. Jiang Yue has already gone to Cloud City. The remaining five of you will be here one after another. Several important cities. Although you are currently not on the front line, you cannot take it lightly. You are not only responsible for the defense of the Weird Tree, but also shoulder the important task of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness. Use the city where you are sitting as a stronghold to radiate the surrounding areas and implement The task of clearing the country. The armed forces stationed in each city will cooperate with everyone. In this operation, there must be no dead ends and no chance for the Weird Tree to break out. Deputy Manager Li, I, and three consultants will soon We will divide your respective areas of responsibility, and you will not be allowed to argue with each other. Everyone must guard their own one-third of an acre and must not slack off."
General Zeng roughly told several executive directors about the next step of the mission, so that they would be fully aware of it.
"Okay, you all already understand the strategy and ideas, and the division of labor will be informed to you soon. You all go back and prepare. Remember, everything in the command team must be kept strictly confidential after leaving here."
"Commander-in-Chief, the battle has to be fought by the people below. How can the strategy here be kept strictly confidential? Don't the subordinates also tell it?" Liu Jie from the Mobei Region asked curiously.
"It's enough to assign specific tasks to who is going to do what. Do we need to tell everyone everything in detail?" General Zeng asked coldly.
Since ancient times, when marching and fighting, the tactical details are given, and it is impossible to be specific to every soldier.
Necessary confidentiality is still required.
"Don't be stunned. Let's disperse. Get ready when you go back. Tighten up everything and don't take it seriously. I repeat, this is war, not a child's play." Deputy General Manager Li added a rare and stern sentence.
The six deacons all left the venue with awe-inspiring thoughts and their own concerns.
…
Soon, there were only two commander-in-chiefs and three advisors left in the venue.
General Zeng threw the pen back on the table, let out a long sigh, held the back of his head with his hands, and sat weakly on the chair, with helplessness and fatigue written on his face.
"Three old men, acting on the spot, put an eighteen-year-old young man in such an important place. I don't know if this is considered to be counterproductive? I hope that when Xiaojiang arrives in Yuncheng, he won't blame me, the commander-in-chief, for deceiving him. Logically speaking, no matter what the turn, he should not be the one to go through this. Unfortunately, other people are really pulling the strings, and there is no one more suitable than Xiao Jiang. There is still a lack of talents from the weird era. There are still some bureaucrats in various places who prefer the sunshine era. There are still serious deficiencies in thinking and practical progress.”
With the six executive directors gone, General Zeng spoke more directly.
Deputy General Manager Li said with a wry smile: "Although the current situation is deteriorating rapidly, in fact, the strange era has not yet arrived half a year ago. Various places have been hit hard, the population base itself has dropped by a large proportion, and the output of talents cannot keep up. In fact, in It makes sense.”
General Zeng shook his head: "Although it is reasonable, but with the current situation in the Western Region, I feel that some of these executive directors must be overwhelmed and do not have the ability to shoulder heavy responsibilities."
This time, Deputy General Manager Li did not object. Instead, he nodded and said: "There are two people who are obviously timid, but they just didn't admit it because of their appearance. I even wonder if they will take the initiative to resign in the future. ?”
One of the consultants named Zhou Qinghan said: "If they really took the initiative to resign, they would not come to the Western Region. It is not easy to come here to brush up their qualifications and gilt them. If they take the initiative to resign, wouldn't all their previous efforts be wasted?" , and it is very likely to become a laughing stock and leave a lifelong stain. Not to mention that they will not be able to survive in the Western Region. If they return to their respective territories and leave a stain, they will not have any future. I don’t think they can I will take the initiative to resign, even if it is just to make up for it, I will bite the bullet and go."
No one named them, but they knew which executive directors they were talking about.
Song Youguang, Mr. Song said: "We cannot overestimate the integrity of such opportunistic bastards. I do think that if they feel that something is impossible, or that their lives may be in danger at any time, they will definitely find a way to escape. . If you don’t believe it, let’s wait and see.”
Mr. Song had lived in the capital for a long time and was entrusted by the central government. He was highly respected.
It can be said that in terms of status and prestige, the five people present respect Mr. Song. His knowledge, experience, and status are all destined to make it difficult for others to refute what he says.
General Zeng said calmly: "I'll wait and see what kind of tricks they can pull off. If they really dare to pull off any trick of escaping from the battlefield, I wouldn't mind using their heads to sacrifice, just to scare the monkeys!"
Since it is a war, it must be a war mentality.
The last consultant, also from the West Frontier Region, is a retired elder. He was also the leader of the Action Bureau system and was in charge of the entire operations department of the West Frontier Region.
Before his retirement, he was also a very powerful figure.
This person's name is Yun Zhaoyue, and he was also selected into the advisory group this time, which shows his status and ability.
Even if Yun Zhaoyue's status is worse than that of Song Youguang, it won't be too different. It's just that their respective stages are different.
Song Youguang is from the capital, and the stage in the capital will be bigger.
Yun Zhaoyue said: "Mr. Song, Yuncheng is the key to the current overall situation. Only if Yuncheng is defended can other strongholds hope to respond to each other and form a complete defense chain. If Yuncheng is lost, other strongholds may be cut apart and unable to Forming a perfect defense chain, the natural attack on us will have the consequences of losing everything if we are not careful. So, do you have any good plans, Mr. Song, for this trip to Yuncheng?"
Song Youguang was entrusted by General Zeng to go to Yuncheng to assist Zuo Jiangyue.
Jiang Yue was only eighteen years old. In Yun Zhaoyue's view, he was just a baby. Even if he was particularly good at fighting, he was still a baby who could fight.
If something big happens, Yun Zhaoyue is worried about whether the baby can withstand it.
Therefore, Yun Zhaoyue felt that the key to Yuncheng might lie with Mr. Song.
Song Youguang smiled and said: "Mr. Yun, the commander-in-chief of the Yuncheng War was handed over to Jiang Yue. As the saying goes, do not trust those who employ people, and do not use those who are suspicious. As an old man, I will do my best to fight for the left. But I think that young people like Jiang Yue People, just because the defense allows them to do it boldly. Old man, I spent time getting to know Jiang Yue and the Star City team. To say how mature these young people are, it is not necessarily possible. But they are definitely extremely rich in combat experience. . And there is no need to question their enterprising spirit. There is no need to worry about being discouraged if they lose the battle. These young people have tenacity, the kind of tenacity that gets stronger with every setback. In Star City, they fought against the Weird Tree again and again. Always. It is impossible to destroy the strange tree, but their fighting spirit has never been extinguished. On the contrary, they have become more and more passionate as they fight, with no intention of surrendering. Among these executive directors, if Jiang Yue cannot handle the affairs of Yuncheng, The other few are even more disgusting to me."
Mr. Song, like General Zeng, made no secret of his admiration for Jiang Yue.
Yun Zhaoyue is probably an old-school official, and he still values the concept of superiority and inferiority deep down in his heart.
Not without worry: "He is only the captain of the Star City team, but he has replaced the position of Director Yang Xiangchun who led the team in the Central South Region. I am worried that if he wants to command the team in the Central South Region, will he be able to do so? Director Yang Xiangchun will Will you cooperate? Will you stumble him secretly?"
"This will test Xiao Jiang's ability. Of course, it will also test Yang Xiangchun's political quality. If he is really obsessed with personal grudges and cannot extricate himself, we have no choice but to go directly to the governor of the Central and South Region or the general manager of economics and strategy. I I don’t believe that those two from the Central and South Region can let Yang Xiangchun do what he likes?" General Zeng still protected Jiang Yue as always, and did not hide his disdain for Yang Xiangchun at all.
As a soldier, when it comes to core issues, you don’t have to beat around the bush.
Deputy Manager Li suddenly laughed and said: "I think those people in the Central South Region may not share their anger with Yang Xiangchun. Otherwise, how could Yang Xiangchun lose the election and lose so embarrassingly?"
"Yes, Jiang Yue was elected, not by cheating, but by real votes."
Yun Zhaoyue didn't have any objections to Jiang Yue. He just analyzed the pros and cons from a consultant's perspective.
Ultimately, he also hopes that the bad situation in the Western Region can be relieved.
Supporting Yuncheng is an urgent matter, and capable people must go there.
After much deliberation among these executive directors, Jiang Yue was really the most suitable one.
Then came Liu Hong and Nie Zhiyuan, and then Qiu Risheng.
As for the other two, how could Yun Zhaoyue not see their true colors? To put it bluntly, they are old bureaucrats from the Sunshine Era, and their thoughts and abilities are all about running a business.
Asking them to take control of Yuncheng will only accelerate the fall of Yuncheng.
General Zeng smiled and said: "Mr. Yun, your operations department in the Western Frontier Region is highly respected and has invincible connections. When the time comes to coordinate manpower, you must give more green lights to young people. And Deputy General Manager Li, Western Frontier Region You are one of the leaders of the region, and you will receive full support for the necessary material allocation and so on. We cannot let the soldiers have worries."
Yun Zhaoyue and Deputy Manager Li looked at each other and smiled, and said one after another: "Commander-in-Chief, I can rest assured that no one is more urgent than us in the Western Frontier Region to get rid of the strange tree. If we hold back, wouldn't we take a knife to our own necks? "
Everyone burst out laughing.
Another consultant, Zhou Qinghan, said: "Speaking of this Deacon Xiao Jiang, he really has a lot of brushes. We have been discussing this idea behind closed doors for so long. He actually said it straight away. This young man is really a person who has not yet gone to college. A sixth form student?"
"You have ambitions but not your age. Moreover, this Xiao Jiang is a descendant of a legacy family. We can't just see his identity as a sixth form student."
Mr. Song, on the other hand, said calmly: "Actually, look at how he dealt with the strange tree in Star City? Wasn't it also a disguised form of solid wall and clearing the wilderness? This is true knowledge gained from actual combat, not a temporary idea."
After a few people thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Jiang Yue's actions in Star City and many combat cases were reported to the Star City Operations Bureau and then came into everyone's sight through various channels.
Everyone knew what they had done to Jiang Yue.
Deputy General Manager Li sighed: "To put it this way, the six seats for the executive director are still missing. Moreover, there are still people who can't eat. If more young people like Jiang Yue came up, the joint command team might be more energetic. many."
General Zeng smiled bitterly and said: "Old Li, you are really greedy. How many more young people like Jiang Yue are there? If you give me another such outstanding young man, I will feel grateful. If there are really six or seven such powerful young people, Man, I even think the chance of winning this time is over 70%."
"Does the commander-in-chief think so highly of this young man?" Deputy General Manager Li was surprised.
"This young man, I can only say, is unfathomable. From my point of view, I can't even see through his depth." General Zeng said seriously.
Song Youguang smiled and said: "Moreover, you see him as a person, but in fact the family behind him, and many members of the family, are working hard all the time, even staring at him. At the critical moment, these hidden people The boss will definitely come out. This is also a potential that many people don't see."
The hidden inheritance family is unfathomable. Who knows where their limit is?
…
Jiang Yue knew that after he left, several elders would privately comment on the pros and cons of choosing him to go to Yuncheng.
But this is no longer what Jiang Yue cares about.
He didn't have time to think about what the elders thought. What he wanted to think about was how to take action after going to Yuncheng.
How many people need to be brought, what needs to be done, and what preparations need to be made.
These must have a general overall idea, and must not be thought of one by one.
After returning to the hotel, Jiang Yue said hello to Han Jingjing and others, then entered the room and started writing and drawing in his notebook.
The map of the Western Frontier Region was also nailed to the wall by Jiang Yue and he began to ponder it carefully.
