my wife is a consul

Chapter 322
Wearing a black school uniform, Lu Ming looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

On the side, holding a schoolbag that looks like a black briefcase, is Liuli with a sweet smile.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Lu Ming was about to leave for school, and the first lesson started today.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the maids going in and out of the living room, and Lu Ming felt a little helpless. The maids at home, as if they were in the beginning of the school season, all wore student uniform skirts. It was Liuli's idea. Heitou and Yuluan were Liuli Liuli's suggestion, the remaining eight Qing'e are Liuli's orders.

In other words, Heitou, Yuluan, and Daguoxiaoguo are pleasing to the eye in beautiful and cute student uniforms, but the same is true for a few Qing'e with big arms and round waists. Makes people speechless.

Afterwards, Lu Ming shook his head. They were all people who served him loyally, but subconsciously, he still judged them by their looks and figures, which was a bit wrong.

"Okay, I'm leaving!" Lu Ming took the schoolbag from Liuli.

At this moment, the phone on the TV cabinet in the living room rang, Yuluan stood beside the phone, answered the phone, turned her head and said crisply: "Master, it's Hu Dingshan's phone number."

Ok?
Lu Ming took a few steps over and took the microphone, listening to Hu Dingshan's words, he frowned slightly.

After hanging up the phone, looking at the wall clock, he shook his head and said, "I'm not going to school anymore, I have something to do."

I feel helpless, as if I am in this world, and wanting to go to school is a luxury after all.

Hu Dingshan called, but it turned out that the imperial capital had initially agreed to the report of the new formation of private soldiers submitted by Governor Chakson. Now, Governor Chakson wants to see him. After all, he is one of the two chief officers of the new army. To see you.

Time is running out, Hu Dingshan said that he must meet with Governor Chakson today, and things will change later.

The vague meaning is that Mrs. Hu doesn't know that the new army is done yet, and if she is involved in it, she is afraid that her position will be ruined.

Therefore, I have to go, the first day of school starts, I can only be absent, and I don't know when I will be able to spare time.

……

The provincial capital of Jiangning is relatively close to the southern part of the province. It only takes more than three hours to travel from Zhenjiang to the provincial capital of Jiangning by train.

On the way, Lu Ming thought about the various possibilities of meeting Governor Chaxon, and also thought about how efficient Ms. Windsor is.

Of course, Governor Chakson's report itself is reasonable, and the military department is stuck, which is somewhat bullying. Once the big man entrusted by Sister Windsor comes forward, it will be a matter of course.

As for the elder sister Windsor, she must have put in a lot of effort. She originally hoped that she would create a world in the five provinces of the south of the Yangtze River, and add some weight to the heir she supported. When she became stronger, she could barely be regarded as a princess. A small member of the Pali Windsor faction, as for the current self, at least the big shots in the imperial capital seem to be completely unqualified to be mentioned by them.

At most, he got an upstart in the oil field for no reason, and a lawyer with a good mouth, but what is this for a person at that level?
……

Although he had thought about all kinds of possible conversations with Governor Chakson and how to respond, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel helpless when he actually saw Governor Chakson. The rumors outside seemed to be true. Governor Chakson , with obvious symptoms of dementia.

An old man in his 70s has obvious age spots on his face and hands.

He forgot Lu Ming's name several times and asked Hu Dingshan to remind him.

The meeting was in a secluded tea room. It seems that when Governor Chakson usually drank tea, Hu Dingshan chose to meet here to prevent others from disturbing him.

"Oh, Qianxing, how is Ms. Basha?" Governor Chakson asked suddenly.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's okay." Now I have some experience, it's because Governor Chakson misremembered who he is again, and thought he was the younger generation of an old friend.

Hu Dingshan drank tea quietly.

Lu Ming sighed inwardly. People around Governor Chuckson probably dealt with him in this way.

Governor Chakson looked to the side, stretched out his hand, shook hands with the air, and then turned his head: "Qianxing, from now on, the new army, you and Dingshan must do well!"

While speaking, the secretary behind him took out a few pages of paper, pen, official seal, etc. from the side drawer, and he signed and stamped them.

Hu Dingshan immediately put down his teacup, staring at Governor Chakson's every move, with joy in his eyes.

What Governor Chakson issued was, of course, the letter of appointment for Hu Dingshan and Lu Ming and the order to grant them the authority to form a new army and require the cooperation of relevant departments.

"Your Excellency, we are resigning!" Putting these official letters into the briefcase, Hu Dingshan stood up and said carelessly, if you run out of all kinds, you will pull them down, anyway, you will forget my rudeness today tomorrow.

The secretary behind Chuckson nodded to Hu Dingshan.

From the looks of the two of them, Lu Ming knew that the secretary had accepted benefits from Hu Dingshan.

Lu Ming stood up, performed proper etiquette, and bowed slightly: "Your Excellency Governor, I am taking my leave!"

The secretary gave him a surprised look, but said nothing.

Governor Chakson smiled and nodded to Lu Ming. At this moment, it seemed to be normal suddenly.

……

Back in the car outside, Hu Dingshan said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, oh, it's time to call you Commissioner Lu, from now on, we will be colleagues!" He stretched out his hand, "I will ask Commissioner Lu to guide you more in the future."

Lu Ming smiled and reached out to shake his hand.

Hu Dingshan said again: "I think so, Commissioner Lu. Immediately, the two of us will convene a meeting of officers above the battalion level of the garrison regiment that will be abolished soon, and set up a new army preparatory committee. You are the chairman and I am the deputy chairman." Commissioner, after that, the officers and soldiers that can be retained in the abolished garrison regiment, as well as the selection of talents in the military academies in the five provinces, will be handled by you, Commissioner Lu, and I will be in charge. Recruiting recruits, what do you think?"

Lu Ming was taken aback. Hu Dingshan's proposal was obviously for the formation of the new army, with himself as the main force and him as the assistant.

In particular, the remaining officers and soldiers after the abolition of the garrison, as well as the student officers recruited from the five provincial military academies, will be the backbone of the new army, and they will be responsible for these, that is, the framework of the entire new army will be formed by themselves.

His proposal was obviously not a whim, but the result of serious consideration, so he proposed it as soon as he got in the car.

"Commissioner Lu, please take care of me in the future!" Hu Dingshan stroked his shiny bald head and said with a smile.

Lu Ming nodded. After he got involved, the case of the new army was quickly passed the trial in the imperial capital. It seemed that Hu Dingshan was even more confused about his reality.

He has recently been rejected by the Hu family, and probably, he is also considering a way out.

Of course, the Hu family are cunning and greedy, so let's wait and see.

……

The station of the new army is on the outskirts of Montenegro. It used to be the barracks of the Montenegro garrison, but now it has changed its name and the camp is also being expanded.

There were three garrison regiments in the province that were abolished. Originally, there were more than 8000 officers and soldiers. It was rumored that every three garrison regiments would cut one, that is, two-thirds of the personnel would be cut, and people panicked for a while.

However, Commissioner Lu of the Inspectorate, who was in charge of abolishing redundant personnel, basically stayed on the frontline soldiers, but a lot of officers were abolished, and almost all duties were abolished. The frontline soldiers did a questionnaire survey, but not many people were cleared out. , three security regiments, but in the end there were only more than 4000 people left. It was rumored that there were many empty-paid rosters in the roster, but in the end Commissioner Lu didn't go into it and dismissed them all as redundant staff.

Nie Shichao is a platoon leader. He graduated from a military academy and has been a platoon leader since he first joined the army. Now he has been in the army for ten years and is still a platoon leader.

In the past few days, the comrades in arms have complained a lot. For several days in a row, they have to fill out various questionnaires every day, and even feel like entering a school and taking various exams.

This morning, the various questionnaires and exams were finally gone, but it was announced that there would be a meeting in the afternoon, which would be presided over by Commissioner Lu Ming, the chairman of the New Army Committee, and Hu Dingshan, the deputy chairman.

Nie Shichao was also on the list called to attend the meeting, which made him extremely surprised. After all, he is not even an officer, and the platoon leader has the lowest sense of presence. Who knows, his transition as an officer lasted ten years.

Nie Shichao came to the auditorium of the barracks very early, one after another, many officers came, and there were more than a hundred officers of all ranks sitting under the stage, all wearing brand-new military uniforms, sitting upright. Nie Shichao didn't know a few people, but it was obvious , those beer belly officers are gone.

Someone took the lead, and there was loud applause in the auditorium.

On the rostrum, several people filed in and took their seats one by one.

"Well, let's introduce ourselves one by one. Many colleagues probably still can't tell who we are!" A young man wearing an olive green officer's uniform stood up on the stage, with the rank of brigadier general and golden stars shining on his shoulder straps.

Nie Shichao was taken aback. This must be Commissioner Lu, and looking at the structure of the committee, it was obvious that the inspector of the new army overwhelmed the military chief and became the de facto first chief.

In the past ten or so days, this Commissioner Lu wandered around the barracks, meeting and talking with officers and soldiers at all levels. I had never seen him before. I heard that he was young, but he never thought that he was so young.

Nie Shichao was in a daze, and Commissioner Lu Ming didn't hear the self-introduction, but soon there was warm applause in the auditorium, and Nie Shichao hurriedly applauded.

Next, Hu Dingshan, the brigade seat, and the brigade ministers, such as the attendant, the logistics minister, and the training minister, stood up and introduced themselves.

In the auditorium, there was bursts of applause.

Hu Dingshan, the traveler, began to speak, using official phrases such as the significance of the establishment of the new army.

Everyone in the audience was drowsy.

But when Hu Dingshan talked about the structure of the new army, Nie Shichao became energetic and took notes.

The Black Mountain Brigade has three regular infantry regiments, three motorized infantry battalions directly under the brigade headquarters, two armored tank battalions, one reinforced artillery battalion, and three battalions of communication battalion, engineering battalion, and repair battalion, and 6 battalions directly under the brigade , Police investigation company, automobile company, health company, teaching team and so on.

Nie Shichao's eyes were a little straight when he heard it. He was originally a mechanized combat major in the military school, but after he came to Montenegro, he had no use for it.

On the rostrum, Hu Dingshan finished talking about the structure of the new army, and said with a smile: "Actually, the composition of the new army is mostly determined by Commissioner Lu after listening to the opinions of military advisers, doing various research, and going to many military units in the south to learn. The new army has a new atmosphere, and we have to change the guns." He laughed again: "Next, we welcome Commissioner Lu to announce the appointment of the remaining personnel. The colleagues who can remain in the post are all elites. Our Black Mountain Brigade has become a mighty and invincible army!"

There was another warm applause from the audience. At the same time, everyone looked at Commissioner Lu Ming expectantly, wondering if they would get promoted.

Nie Shichao carefully took notes with a pen, feeling that Commissioner Lu did not speak much, but the important orders seemed to come from him.

Commissioner Lu announced the appointment of cadres above the company level.

In fact, it is obvious that the main regiment, the deputy regiment, the main battalion, the deputy battalion, etc. have already talked with the chief, and most of them know it well.

Some company-level positions are vacant, so naturally they have to be recruited from the military academy.However, officers of the deputy battalion and above cannot be recruited by rookies who have just graduated from the military academy.

Therefore, most of the remaining military officers have been promoted to varying degrees, and many of them are beaming.

In particular, many of them were depressed at first, but now feel that they can flex their muscles.

"Nie Shichao, code 003487, intends to be appointed as the commander of the second tank battalion directly under the brigade headquarters."

Commissioner Lu's words echoed in the auditorium. Nie Shichao didn't react at first, but suddenly raised his head. The code 003487 is indeed him. Even if the name is heavy, the military code will not be wrong.

Tank Battalion Commander?
how come?
Nie Shichao looked around in astonishment, but no one noticed him, only Commissioner Lu's voice continued to announce the candidates and positions to be appointed.

……

The moon was as cold as water, and Lu Ming was walking on the playground of the military camp, followed by Thunderstorm, the leader of the guard platoon.

As a brigadier general inspector, now there is a formal security platoon, and Thunderstorm, Heifeng, and Zhao students have all been incorporated into it.

There were more than 30 guards in the platoon, all equipped with long and short guns, including short-range micro-shooters and long-range automatic assault rifles. In addition, there were several snipers headed by Zhao.

"Normally, you don't have to be by my side all the time." Lu Ming explained to Thunderstorm.

While I was wandering around, the guard platoon made sure that I was in the same city as myself, and could be there quickly when called.

Looking at the military camp under the bright moonlight, Lu Ming sighed deeply.

This busy work lasted for more than a month. It is not that simple to abolish and reorganize a new military unit.

Next, I will go to various military academies in the five provinces to select talents.

However, we have to go to the East China Sea to deal with some affairs first.

I still have to arrange another schedule for going to school in Zhenjiang, as long as I don't get expelled.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head.

However, the preparation of this army is still acceptable, at least, it is considered elite in the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

The military technology in this world is quite different from the previous life because there has not been a world-class war in modern times.

For example, tanks and armored vehicles were at the level of World War I in the previous life, but individual weapons were similar to those of World War II.

Therefore, the organizational system of the infantry brigade of the new army can be considered very strong.

However, under today's technical conditions, the most important thing to fight is people. As far as this new army is concerned, a regiment-level military unit with 4000 to [-] people in the Northern Territory can defeat this new armed force. After all Civil wars often break out in the Northern Territory, and they are all arrogant soldiers who have been baptized by war.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming sighed, the road ahead is long, and the further he goes, the more difficult it becomes.

Ok?Lu Ming suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure over there, hesitant to come over.

Lu Ming looked intently, then smiled, and waved to him, "Battalion Commander Nie Shichao, come, I just want to chat with you!"

Over there, Nie Shichao walked over quickly, stood at attention and saluted when he got close, very energetic.

Lu Ming looked at it and smiled, then looked at Lei Tian and the others beside him.

Many times, I feel that I am fighting alone, but in fact, I am not. I will always meet my soulmate in the scenery along the way.
