Lu Ming frowned slightly as he read the message.
It was an urgent call from Devil's River Base 315. Kunpeng was seriously injured in the attack, but the assassin who attacked him was also killed by him.
Kunpeng himself said that his life was not in danger, but he would have to rest for more than a month.
When the 315 military base was under construction, Lu Ming called Kunpeng back from the Western Region and sent him to the 315 base.
The United Kingdom was in urgent need of military aircraft, and they felt that the "magic sticks" would give up, but unexpectedly, they attacked Kunpeng anyway.
Although Kunpeng's abilities were greatly reduced without him by his side, there was only one person who attacked him and could seriously injure Kunpeng. The outcome of both sides was only a thin line, which showed that the "magic sticks" still sent a very powerful person.
"It seems that I have to go to the royal capital!" Lu Ming put down the message and added: "The joint meeting of commanders is also about to be held. I used to go to the royal capital in a hurry, but this time I will stay for a few more days. It is time to pay a visit. There are a few people here, let’s set off in the afternoon.”
"Okay, I'll make arrangements!" Danilova responded from the side.
…
The special plane took off from Gir Airport and took more than three hours to reach the royal capital.
Bridget heard that the Commander would stay in the Royal Capital for a few more days this time, so she discussed with Danilova that she wanted to take the Commander's special plane to the Royal Capital. She had not seen her relatives for a long time, and it was during the New Year period not long after she took office. Izaya never went back to visit his mother.
After Danilova reported, Lu Ming agreed.
In addition, he was accompanied by several particularly handy servicemen, plus a traveling guard platoon, all veterans with extremely strong combat capabilities. Each of them was a sergeant or above who had signed a long-term contract. The guard platoon leader was a first-class sergeant with thirty years of military service. Veterans, usually some school officials, when meeting him, would salute first instead of waiting for him to salute out of politeness.
After the special plane arrived in the royal capital, Lu Ming and his party were taken to Building 2 next to "Wenger Castle".
Vengerberg is the highest command center of the United Kingdom's army. It is a majestic building with four floors above ground and two floors underground. It is grand, not in terms of height, but in terms of its vast area.
This was originally a military fortress built by Archduke Wenger in Sonya history, the ancestor of Henry II. More than ten years ago, this magnificent military headquarters of the United Kingdom was built.
The Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom has its offices here, but it feels more like a guest house.
Because the Minister of Defense is a civilian official appointed by the Prime Minister, compared with the senior military officials who have been at Vengerberg for a long time, he is really like a guest.
The only "passenger elevator" at Fort Venger is for the Secretary of Defense.
The first floor of Fort Wenger has a bank, post office, bookstore, clinic, telegraph office and various shops. The second floor is the Ministry of Defense and various conference rooms, including the "Joint Commanders Meeting".
Usually, the commanders of the eight military regions station their representatives here, and together with the chiefs of staff of the two major services, they provide various suggestions and intelligence to the Ministry of National Defense, forming a permanent staff organization.
The third floor of Fort Wenger is the Army headquarters, and the fourth floor is the Air Force headquarters.
Building 2, where Lu Ming and his party stayed, looked inconspicuous, a dusty three-story building between Fort Venger and the Air Force Base. It was a dormitory building for senior Air Force generals.
It is said to be a dormitory building, but it is actually the layout of a luxury hotel.
Lu Ming has a fixed room, Room 303, a luxury suite of more than 200 square meters, three bedrooms, and a living room with more than 100 square meters of entrance to the porch, which can be used as a small ballroom.
Naturally, there is no need for the entire guard platoon to stay here. Except for a few guards who live in a dormitory specially prepared for the guards on the first floor, the rest of the guard platoon is arranged in the military dormitory of the air force base, which is very close. When the commander travels Their fleet is on standby if needed.
The orderlies also have dormitories on the first floor, but if the room is enough, it is common for personal orderlies to live with senior generals.
Lu Ming did not expect that within a few minutes of entering 303, Danilova received a call. The office of General Douglas, the Air Force Minister, asked about the possibility of a meeting between General Douglas and General Biter in half an hour. .
"Well, tell him I have time!" Danilova came to ask for instructions, and Lu Ming agreed after thinking about it.
They are both the most important top generals in the military. A meeting between the two of them in a private home is not as simple as just visiting. It will attract a lot of attention and a lot of reverie.
Even if they live very close, or even next door, if they want to meet, they will still make an appointment through the offices of both parties.
But Douglas really just came to chat about family matters.
This is Lu Ming's first time living in 303, and it seems that Douglas is very concerned about his living habits here.
The two parties chatted happily in the study for more than half an hour, and Douglas left.
Bridget had been pacing a little excitedly outside. Probably, the power of the man she now relied on reminded her of her father.
Only his father has reached such a mysterious height within the Iron Curtain. His words and deeds may cause great shock to the political and military circles of the United Kingdom.
But his father was limited to politics. Relatively speaking, there are too many uncertainties in the ups and downs of politicians. Moreover, after abdicating, it is difficult to maintain influence under the system of the United Kingdom.
Because even if he was once the prime minister, after he steps down, the other party will really replace all the cabinet members.
The military is different. Even top generals who have retired can still maintain influence in the military for a long time.
This is because there is a continuity of promotion in the military, and senior generals are almost tenured for life. Even if a top general leaves office, there will always be senior generals and subordinates who are still on the stage.
Not to mention that Lu Ming is still young and still has quite a long time to leave his mark in the army.
…
On the first and second days after arriving in the royal capital, Lu Ming met with Henry II and Prime Minister Dumas respectively.
We all chatted with them about the "Wednesday Association".
Henry II was so angry that he turned blue when he heard that someone had gone to the frontline military base to assassinate the powerful men who were setting up defenses.
Prime Minister Dumas promised to mediate and coordinate.
In fact, Lu Ming knew that although "Wednesday" was divided into royalists and constitutionalists.
But the constitutionalists do not necessarily buy Prime Minister Dumas's account. Their so-called support for the constitution is more to get rid of the constraints of many rules set by the royal family. These rules have been deeply rooted in their blood, probably because of thousands of years of The former Queen Alice was probably too powerful. As long as the royal family's authority still existed, they would not be able to break free from the constraints of these rules.
And among these people, there are probably many ambitious ones who want to use mysterious power to seek greater benefits.
…
Wednesday.
In the study, Lu Ming paced slowly.
Today is the regular gathering of the "Association" in this world, although I heard that many powerful people no longer participate in regular gatherings.
But a visit?
Finally, Lu Ming shook his head, "Forget it, let's keep a low profile and not go. Prepare the materials for the Commander's joint speech with me tomorrow."
Beside her, Danilova breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
