my wife is a consul

Chapter 384
The sun was setting, and it was in a very secluded tea room.

Lu Ming and Wang Qiande sat opposite each other.

While sipping tea, Wang Qiande sighed deeply, "Qianxing, your pace is indeed a little rushed, your sharpness is too revealing!"

Lu Ming smiled, "Maybe."

"Governor Chakson is not in good health and is recuperating. No one else can control Mr. Wang." Looking at Lu Ming, "Qianxing, be careful, don't let everyone down."

After the closing meeting in the morning, although Hu Deyao was full of reluctance, he had to follow Wang Zheng and others to the hotel where Wang Zheng and his entourage temporarily stayed.

But soon there was news that a certain battalion of the border guards had set up checkpoints at four passages and train stations in the provincial capital to strictly check pedestrians and vehicles entering and leaving, saying that they were arresting some rogue party.

What Wang Qiande meant was obviously that he didn't want Lu Ming's people to try to pass the test. If both parties tried to test each other's bottom line, it might end up being difficult to deal with.

"Wait first." Wang Qiande shook his head helplessly, "Don't take Hu Deyao to Montenegro, isn't it good to make a record here?"

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Brother Wang misunderstood, I didn't come here for Hu Zizheng's business. An hour ago, Hu Zizheng was taken on the helicopter to Montenegro, and he should be on the way now."

Wang Qiande was taken aback: "The airport in our provincial capital hasn't been built yet? Are planes ready to take off and land?"

Lu Ming smiled, "Helicopters don't need a specific airport, a relatively flat area will do."

It is rumored that Longgang in Montenegro already has an airport, and the suburbs of Montenegro are also starting to build an airport.

Following this, the provincial capital of Jiangning and the two larger cities also began to plan for the construction of the airport. Let alone whether it is useful or not, the project will naturally bring money.

One of the cities has already donated the airport to the city's industrial and commercial circles, and the airport was built to serve your industrial and commercial circles.

After all, a city full of gold mines like Montenegro is the only one in the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

Especially since the military control has been lifted and now the Montenegro camp has been lifted, the financial revenue of Heishan City has risen linearly. In the past, the Mining Management Bureau even lost money every year on the books, and the taxes collected by the Tax Police Bureau are not much, just like factories and mines. In a state of loss, it is completely different now. Last month, Montenegro City’s fiscal and tax revenue exceeded 3000 million yuan. Of course, all aspects of expenditure are also astronomical.

The special fund allocated to the 325th division is a huge expenditure, and the monthly salary of the city's civil servants is also in the millions.

Today, coal and various ores from Montenegro to the south are sold much more smoothly.

The construction of the steel plant of Jiuzhou Iron and Steel Group invested in Longgang is in full swing. It is also a huge magnetic field. Manpower, material resources and various resources, etc., circulate and operate under the suction of this huge magnetic field.

The provincial capital is somewhat dwarfed by the large-scale construction in Montenegro, and the airport project has been launched in a hurry, but it is estimated that it will not be completed until next year.

But apparently, Director Wang Qiande didn't have any special research on airplanes, and even mistakenly thought that helicopters could only take off and land at airports.

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Wang Qiande was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "Okay, that's fine."

In this way, Wang Taishan just lost face a little, at least he didn't force the two sides to tear their faces apart.

Moreover, the move to set up checkpoints in the border camp may not have been directly ordered by Wang Taishan from the outside world.

Except for those who participated in closed-door meetings, they would not think of the upper echelons.

Wang Qiande said again: "The financial secretary was reviewing a special fund for the border guards, and got special approval at noon." He gave Lu Ming a meaningful look.

Lu Ming smiled, thinking that Wang Taishan is very shrewd. According to the intelligence department's understanding of him, he is not the kind of person who eats a vegetarian meal in a corpse. He may not have thought that his side would take Hu Deyao away by air transport.

Wang Qiande should also know Wang Taishan very well, but he didn't remind himself that in fact Wang Taishan might not want to really confront him, and it was more just a show.

But the words hinted at the behind-the-scenes transactions between Wang Taishan and Hu Dingjin.

The more mortal enemies in my eyes, the more it should suit this brother Wang.

That's what politics is all about.

After taking a sip of tea, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I asked you to meet to talk to you about investigating the mutiny."

"Oh?" Wang Qiande smiled, "I don't want to know too much."

Lu Ming nodded and said: "It's not a formal notification, let's chat casually, you are the head of the province's officials, and you should know where the investigation has come." After a pause, he said: "Liu Datong likes to gamble, especially Going to Jiangbei to gamble, military expenses and so on, you can lose a lot of money, and often get special funds from Jingyang City Finance Committee, in fact, it’s all for gambling.”

"After the reorganization of the 325th Division, the accounts of the two garrison regiments Jingyang and Longhe will also be audited. From the account books, the Jingyang regiment has sufficient weapons and ammunition, but the actual arsenal is empty."

"Zhang Heng, chairman of the Jingyang City Finance Committee, is an important person who helps him cover up."

"A few days before Liu Datong planned the mutiny, the two had very close contacts."

"Liu Datong's relatives also proved this point."

Lu Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Wang Qiande's expression, "Zhang Heng confessed that everything was ordered by Xia Liren."

Wang Qiande frowned, "What is their purpose in doing this?"

"Damage my prestige, some people want to take this opportunity to intervene in the 325 Division, for example, you also kindly reminded me, Brother Wang, that the 325 Division leads the political training commissioner of the entire army's political training system, I should not bother with it, but Governor Chakson, please appoint a high-ranking member of the province to serve concurrently. In this way, I will not be too jealous. The army is originally serving the government affairs of the province. lead."

Lu Ming sighed: "Brother Wang's words are really good words. I didn't listen to them at the time, and something happened."

Shaking his head, "However, this is the end of the matter. Now if Governor Chakson appoints another political trainer, it seems that this is a punishment for me. Therefore, when I had lunch with Governor Chakson just now, I resolutely refused. I accepted his proposal and convinced him."

Wang Qiande nodded: "Indeed, Qianxing, no matter what, I will definitely support you."

Lu Ming nodded slightly. Actually, Xia Liren and Zhang Heng's behind-the-scenes mastermind is probably Wang Qiande.

Liu Datong, who had committed suicide, made his last phone call to the teahouse in the provincial capital.

And this tea room is where Wang Qiande often comes to drink tea.

Wang Qiande didn't mean that he wanted to harm himself, but that he had his own ambitions. Seeing that the civil strife in the empire was intensifying, and the future situation, he was afraid that military power would be the real reliance. Therefore, he also wanted to have a place in the ranks of the army.

The 325th division, which is just in the new state, is his ideal entry point.

If he is under various pressures, such as the successful mutiny of the Jingyang regiment, then the province will appease and demote Liu Datong and others.

However, his own prestige has also been severely hit, and he may have to give up his position as a political training commissioner for the time being, and ask the provincial civilian officials to rectify the discipline and improve the atmosphere in the army.Then, from a common sense, the first candidate I might think of is really him.

However, I don't want to continue the investigation until Xia Liren.

Looking at Wang Qiande, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Xia Liren vaguely meant that Hu Dingjin was his boss behind the scenes, but he didn't dare to say it clearly. I think, let's call it a day. It's meaningless to go deeper."

Wang Qiande smiled: "That's right, Qianxing, you are becoming more and more like a general now! But you still have to give him a small punishment, so there is Hu Zhizheng?" Wang Qiande raised his teacup and smiled knowingly: "Take this sentence as if I didn't say it, come, drink tea!" The meaning in the eyes, I understand you.

Lu Ming pressed his hand lightly on the teacup, "I'm too full of tea today, so I won't drink it."

Wang Qiande was slightly taken aback, his smile faded slowly, and he nodded and said, "Okay, then have some snacks."

Lu Ming picked up a piece of snow-white dragon beard cake, "This little thing should look sweet and soft on the outside, but who would have thought that the inside would be filled with hard meat? There are many things, and you can taste them slowly to know the real taste."

Wang Qiande looked at the small cake in Lu Ming's hand, picked up the teacup, his eyes thoughtful.
