In the north of Luoyang City, the eastern capital, at the former site of Jin Yong City. Mrs. Cen, who was in charge of the hospital, suddenly led the team to the inner secret warehouse located deep underground with a frosty face. Immediately, a small team of soldiers responsible for daily supervision of the inner warehouse were also disarmed and transferred away from the scene. .
Then, the armed men brought by Mrs. Cen quickly took over all the internal facilities and equipment, and raised the unusually thick isolation door amidst the faint sound of the rotating hub of the expansion machine. Immediately afterwards, several people wearing full body protection entered first and began to carefully explore every corner.
The person leading the team was holding a compass-like device in his hand, which was actually inlaid with sensor detection equipment specially modified from a certain alien brain tuberculosis; then he made a safety gesture to the outside world, and then left. He went to Mrs. Cen’s side and reported with a low eyebrow:
"Reporting to the Headquarters, we found a slight residual reaction that has not dissipated. If someone uses the contained objects, it should be done in the near future."
Afterwards, Mrs. Cen strode into the vast secret vault. The walls on all sides and the floor above are completely covered with large bronze plates covered with lead; only observation windows at several angles beside the door and honeycomb-shaped multi-layer filter vents are left.
The bronze compartments and rows of sealed cabinets used to store rare objects only occupy a small part of the space; therefore, they can be seen clearly at a glance. Then, Mrs. Cen continued to give instructions: "Master Cheng, now your supervisor will be responsible for the on-site inspection."
"Yes!" Cheng Shilian, the supervisor's liaison stationed in Dongdu, also walked out of the crowd behind him and respectfully took the secret treasury storage book from Mrs. Cen's hand. Someone turned the special key and opened the bronze compartment on the left, revealing containers of various sizes inside.
What is stored inside is the first type of containment object, which is a special rare object that has large-scale lethality or serious spread of harm and cannot be used normally for the time being. Currently, only twelve single rooms have been built. are numbered, but only a small portion of them are used.
Then, a row of bronze compartments on the right side were also opened one after another; there were about a dozen second-category items stored inside; they were basically harmless, or had a small amount of side effects and effects, but more beneficial effects. strange objects; therefore they are numbered according to the stars.
Immediately afterwards, a row of large green-clad lead cabinets were opened between the left and right compartments, facing the door and lined up against the wall; what was stored here were the third category of contained objects; they were also hazardous to varying degrees, but Strange objects that have also been discovered with concrete practical effects and put into use;
Therefore, for the convenience of daily use, the objects from ancient legends are named according to their characteristics and range of effects, and are installed in corresponding bronze lamps, round boxes, balloons, long tubes, canes and other special metal utensils. It is also the type that is most frequently applied for and used by the secret censorship department at present.
However, just a moment later, Mrs. Cen received bad news. There are a total of five items in the first category, but the only ones missing are the rare item "Zhu Yong" from the Longmen Mountain Fengxian Temple Pagoda Cave Incident, and a whole jar of collected and refined derivatives "Hip" that were stored nearby.
There are also two items missing from the third category of storage objects in the copper cabinet: the "嫇徯" which is like a broken stone chime and cannot be heard after being struck, but is dizzying; Emitting light, like the "yang eyes" burned by the scorching sun...
Compared with the increasingly turbulent undercurrent in the court, what is reflected in the Xijing branch is unscrupulous rewards in disguise. Although there was no promotion of official rank or rank, nor any direct rewards or gifts; however, various degrees of compensation were provided in other aspects.
For example, the invitation issued by the Political Affairs Hall directly increased the number of lay personnel in the Xijing branch. From the original three regiments on the left, middle and right (200/300/200 men), they were expanded into two battalions on the left and right (800/800 men) and one regiment (300 men); the equipment and equipment were immediately completed.
For another example, the original practice of selecting and dispatching athletes by each army was changed to one where half of the athletes were selected and dispatched by the armies in Gyeonggi and half by the Xijing branch. The tentative selection scope is limited to the Gyeonggi/Guannai Road, the guards stationed in various places, military mansions, guards, and regiment training.
In conjunction with this, the Xijing branch's expert personnel establishment, daily operating expenses and the upper limit of write-offs for each department have also doubled. In addition, the most important change is that it has opened up the expediency of the Xijing branch to prepare its own equipment, armor and other equipment.
Don't underestimate such an expedient. As a place close to the capital, all armed forces are strictly controlled. Therefore, in addition to the traditional restrictions on armor, crossbows and long weapons, the Xijing branch also passed permission for limited equipment and the use of firearms.
You must know that as the most important weapon of the country left by Liang Gong, the imperial court's control of firearms is a top priority; and it has long been regarded as the magic weapon of the Celestial Kingdom of China, and has been used in all directions for generations, and has the potential to exert influence on the princes at home and abroad. Advantage/suppression is one of the cornerstones of the invisible tribute system.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, only the North Military Prison, one of the five prisons in the Nine Temples, can legally conduct research and development and mass production. In the military order of the imperial court, they were only assigned to the Northern Army, Guards Army and a small number of border army orders. As of now, there is only one more secret censorship department.
And with such a permission, Jiang Tian can justifiably use the gun manufacturing technology obtained from another world, through the origin and name of the Industrial Camp Office, after magical modification, without having to cover it up. .
After all, under the long-lasting peace in the world, many powerful people will control the sons of eunuchs, ministers and princes to prevent their status from getting one or two for fun. But if you want to possess more than one firearm, you will be accused of treason.
Of course, cannons are still an exception. This kind of thing is not something normal people would want to own. Even the vast majority of princes and foreign vassals cannot easily get involved. Therefore, this also means that the tolerance of the princes in the court for some invisible situation has reached the limit.
Jiang Tian also seized this opportunity to promote further reorganization and integration of the Xijing branch; mainly for the armed forces under his name. The original military organization of battalion, regiment, brigade, team and fire will continue to be retained as a daily management sequence, but the battle sequence will be organized separately.
That is to say, based on the comprehensive performance of the selection process and daily duties of these newly added lay officers, candidates with corresponding specialties and tendencies will be selected from them; and several more flexible and mobile special teams will be formed. For example, an investigation team/reconnaissance team in light civilian clothes is responsible for looking for clues.
Then there are the combat teams/suppression teams equipped with standard equipment to face front-line conflicts; the support teams carrying heavy equipment and vehicle and horse maneuvers; the training teams specifically responsible for bringing the old in with the new and conducting simulated confrontation exercises, etc. Each team will consist of 30-50 people depending on actual needs.
Next, as the expert personnel sequence, there are also a certain proportion of craftsmen and doctors, a logistics team responsible for equipment preparation, consumable replenishment, and on-site first aid; an internal security team dedicated to guarding key internal places and key departments; and a mobile team directly under the supervisory department. Team/Reserve Team.
Of course, under the current circumstances, the internal security team and the mobile team are actually two parts of the team directly under the supervision department, and their responsibilities have been transformed into each other; when one part is responsible for the key internal security work, the other part is automatically on standby and transformed into A reserve team ready to respond to emergencies.
Therefore, in addition to daily salary, clothing and food according to the standards of the guards, Jiang Tian also obtained a corresponding service allowance and exclusive pension project for most of the soldiers who were directly facing the front line through negotiation channels. This established the internal levels and authority of the eleventh class.
In order to distinguish the exclusive armed forces of the Anxing Yushi Department/Li Xingyuan from other imperial armies; and also to give them a future goal and hope for future advancement. Of course, in Jiang Tian's plan, he only has the ninth level of authority, and the tenth to eleventh level authority is temporarily vacant.
It will only be specially awarded after someone has made a huge enough contribution in the future, or achieved merit beyond the reach of ordinary people. As the saying goes, as an entrepreneur and project leader, you must not only have the ability to draw a pie, but also have the determination to lead everyone to turn the pie into reality.
However, just when Jiang Tian was fully focused on expanding his ministries and became increasingly busy, the Xijing branch once again received an urgent call for help directly from Yushitaiyuan. But it was from the patrol censor who was previously responsible for leading the team to conduct follow-up searches on Shannan West Road.
It was said that an exploration team discovered a large group of wild animals in the local area. Therefore, at the urgent call of the patrol censor, the local state capital organized a crusade of thousands of people from all counties to unite and guard the troops to go and annihilate them; the result was an unexpected defeat.
Many generals of the local army were killed in the battle, and several battalions of troops were scattered in the mountains and forests. Only the patrol censor who was sitting in the rear and coordinating the various troops retreated to the retreat under the escort of hundreds of left-leading army guards. Plain areas. They gathered up the rout on the spot and blocked the road into the mountain.
However, just one day later, the temporary garrison/wooden stronghold they built was attacked by a group of ferocious beasts led by several ghosts. Although they resisted desperately, they persisted in their destiny and killed them. Fight back; but there is no way to block the news and the development of the situation.
You must know that this is the first time that the imperial army has suffered a defeat in the face of aliens. Although it was only a state-affiliated local army such as regiment training and guarding, it was no less than a defeat in a local war, and even more influential. Therefore, there was a dispute in the court.
And before these court bosses can fight for this, the newly expanded Xijing branch has become the only force that can be put to use at the moment.
