Chapter 2799
The terms of exchange offered by Chen Yixin were very clear. If the Executive Committee wanted the Northern Region to speed up the process of taking over the areas ruled by the Ming Dynasty, it should fully consider the actual situation in the region and support the Northern Region to achieve this through military expansion. Target.
If Chen Yixin can win the support of Bai Kesi in this process, it will undoubtedly be twice the result with half the effort. As long as the military industry department can provide full cooperation, the implementation of the military expansion process will be accelerated much faster. Otherwise, it will be like the Tokugawa shogunate who came to Haihan to buy warships. Even if they have sufficient funds, they will have to wait for a long delivery period.
But having said that, the personal relationship between Chen Yixin and Bai Kesi can only be regarded as mediocre. To win the support of each other, just relying on a word seems a bit too weak.
Therefore, even though Chen Yixin presented the facts and tried to persuade Bai Kesi to accept his conditions, Bai Kesi still refused to let go easily and only said that he would report the situation in the Northern Region to the Executive Committee. As for whether the military expansion plan can be implemented, it still needs to be discussed and decided by the Executive Committee. Only after that, the ordnance industry department will make corresponding production arrangements.
The words revealed one meaning: Even if this matter is said to be unreasonable, it still has to be followed according to the process. It is far from the time for the military industry department to express its stance.
Although Chen Yixin was a little disappointed in his heart, given his current status, he naturally would not show any displeasure on his face, so he took the initiative to stop talking about work and turned to talk about his children's family affairs: "When I saw Le Tong before, I was so unhappy. I can’t recognize him. I heard that he is currently working in the Ministry of Culture and Education?”
Speaking of his son, Bai Kesi's tone became much more relaxed: "He has been interested in writing, painting and other things since he was a child, so I asked him to study under Ning Qi. Now he has entered the Ministry of Culture and Education and is considered a professional counterpart. . But you also know that this person who studies liberal arts is somewhat pedantic, so I specially arranged for him to come out and see the world. Don’t think that the written materials you usually read are the real world.”
"In the past few months, I had him follow the Donghai Region's mission to visit North Korea and Japan. This was his first real trip to a foreign country, and he gained some experience. This time I went north to meet him in Hangzhou. , I feel that this kid’s way of looking at problems is indeed much more mature than before, so I specially brought him with me to open his eyes more.”
Chen Yixin nodded and said: "It's good to learn literature. At least you don't have to worry about him getting into trouble outside."
Bai Kesi smiled and said: "From what you say, Ping Liao has caused you a lot of trouble?"
Chen Yixin smiled bitterly and said: "This kid has been naughty since he was a child. I sent him to Sanya just in the hope that he could learn more rules. Who knows that this kid didn't learn other skills, but he came back with a lot of trouble-making skills."< br>
Bai Kesi asked curiously: "Tell me about it?"
Chen Yixin said: "After this kid returned to Shandong, I arranged for him to join the army. I thought that he would also attend the military academy in Sanya for a few years. I would give him some people first and see what he learned. I never thought that this kid would lead the army. He led a cavalry company and quietly left Dengzhou for Jinan Prefecture. At that time, our negotiations with the Ming Dynasty were still in progress. Isn't it a military provocation for him to go to Jinan Prefecture with his troops?"
Bai Kesi smiled and said: "I guess you haven't started doing it yet?"
Chen Yixin shook his head and said: "I discovered it a day late, and then sent a fast horse to chase him. I chased him until he reached Zhangqiu, which was only sixty or seventy miles away from Jinan City. Although the defenders of Jinan City We may not dare to take action, but if we misjudge our intention to attack Jinan City, there will inevitably be another chaos in the area!" Bai Kesi said: "What will Ping Liao say when he comes back?"
Chen Yixin said: "This guy said that he has studied an march route from Dengzhou to Jinan, which can avoid the areas fortified by the Ming army. He wants to lead a team to verify it on the spot... Lao Bai, tell me, isn't this nonsense!"
Bai Kesi smiled and said: "It's not necessarily a fool's errand. It's a good thing for young people to dare to think and do things. It's just that the military is strict about orders and prohibitions. If he does things without permission, he does need punishment."
Chen Yixin nodded and said: "I think so too. Since he is too energetic, let him go to the bitter cold land of Liaodong for half a year to sharpen his temper."
Bai Kesi smiled and said: "If you send him to Liaodong, if no one can suppress him there, I'm afraid he will do whatever you want!"
Chen Yixin slapped his thigh and said, "I didn't calculate this at the time. It turned out that not long after this kid went to Gaizhou, he said he was going to go camping. He didn't bring much supplies, so he led a group of people into the mountains. He was missing. His boss couldn't find anyone for several days, so he sent me a message to apologize and wanted to mobilize the entire Jinzhou camp to search for him. "
Chen Yixin talked until his mouth was dry, so he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then continued: "This kid has no idea how much trouble he has caused. Half a month later, he actually appeared in the Yalu River with his troops without a word. From Gaizhou to Anton, there are four hundred miles of mountains and forests in between. I don’t know how he got through it by mistake. It doesn’t matter that he has been missing for so long. It has made the entire Liaodong garrison uneasy. I locked him up for half a month!”
Bai Kesi said: "Since Ping Liao has this talent for field marching, I think he is quite suitable for Qian Tiandun's special operations force. Have you ever thought about sending him to Qian Tiandun for training for a few years?"
Qian Tiandun also participated in the entire process of the Haihan Northern Expedition in his early years. Not only did he lead troops to fight, he also taught Chen Yixin a lot of formal military knowledge. For Chen Yixin, Qian Tiandun was both a teacher and a friend, and his personal relationship was very unusual.
However, after the international situation in the north settled down, there was basically no war left to fight. Going further north was a bitter cold land, and more than half of the special operations forces were from the south, so they were obviously no longer able to exert their combat effectiveness.
Qian Tiandun did not want to retire so early and enjoy the blessings, and he was impressed by Wang Tom's courage to go to North America. Later, he applied to the Executive Committee and led his troops south to the Malay Peninsula. He also planned to continue his military career overseas.
Speaking of Qian Tiandun, Chen Yixin couldn't help but sigh and said: "If Lao Qian is still in the north, then I must have sent Ping Liao to him for training. When it comes to leading troops, I am far behind Lao Qian! I persuaded him for a long time to stay in the north. When we march into the Central Plains in the future, there will always be times when special operations forces will come into play. But Lao Qian couldn't listen and said he didn't want to lead the troops to fight the Han people, so he finally chose it. Going south. What a pity!”
Bai Kesi also knew a little about the reason why Qian Tiandun chose to go to the South China Sea. He was not surprised by what Chen Yixin said. He nodded and said, "I think he thought you were more suitable to be in charge of the Northern Region, so he chose to go away." South China Sea.”
