Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 178 Three-party game, Grant becomes the key piece again!

After announcing the adjustment of the organizational structure, Xun Yu, the Director of Administration, announced the relevant personnel adjustment.

Among the three newly established departments.

The Ordnance Department is the best way to do it, and still use the original team, the director Ou Yezi, the deputy director Gong Shuchou and Bagh.

Yang Ning, the former deputy secretary of the Financial Department, was promoted to the director of the Audit Office.

As for the Director-General of Industry.

Because I need to be familiar with the industry, there is no suitable candidate for the time being, and I plan to recruit externally.

Thinking about it, there will be another wave of competition for employment.

.........

in the afternoon.

Tang Jing also attended the unveiling ceremony of Changan Construction Group.

The predecessor of Changan Construction Group was the construction team under the Construction Department (now upgraded to the Construction Department), integrating exploration, design, construction and supervision.

The scope of business covers civil engineering, roads, bridges and water conservancy.

It can be regarded as a giant in the construction industry.

The establishment of Chang'an Construction Group is an important step for the Lord's Mansion to move towards refined management. According to the principle of "separation of business and enterprise, management and operation", some institutional functions have been "enterprise".

Under the signature of the construction only, in addition to the newly established Chang'an Construction Group, there are also enterprises and institutions such as the Chang'an Port Authority, the Merlot Wharf Management Office, and the Meiling Hydropower Station.

It can also be regarded as "slimming down" for the official group.

.........

the next day.

The mermaid tribe and the octopus Paul have successively sent information—in recent days, the sea dragon tribe is indeed very lively. From time to time, the leaders of the vassal races are called to Sea Dragon City to discuss matters.

After returning from Sea Dragon City, the vassal races began to mobilize for war.

On the other hand, according to Fei Lian's investigation of the coalition forces, it was also discovered that in the past two days, the coalition forces have been transporting food and supplies to the border counties of Lorton County and Nash County.

There is not only one city in the land of two counties.

Except for Lorton County and Nash County, other counties have also built city walls, but to catch up with the work, they only built small cities with a side length of one kilometer.

It is equivalent to Miyagi in Chang'an City.

Even so, these small cities will turn into war fortresses once a war starts.

The effect is still there.

"My lord, there are various indications that the Sea Clan is likely to join hands with the coalition forces to cause trouble." Du Ruhui said.

"Make trouble, okay."

Tang Jing was very calm, "It's fine if the Hai Clan don't jump out, jumping out, just take this opportunity to eliminate hidden dangers in one fell swoop, so that the Chang'an Fleet can truly unimpeded in the Caspian Sea."

"It can also eliminate the threat to the east of Chang'an City and improve the security index of the base camp."

If the Sea Clan really wants to stay in the sea all the time, then Chang'an really has no good way to deal with them, they can only choose to support the Mermaid Clan and Sea Monster Clan, and engage in checks and balances.

After all, the Chang'an Fleet has never been scaled.

Now that the Sea Dragon Clan took the initiative to go ashore to provoke, they just took the opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop.

"Fighting on two fronts, the coalition forces will definitely go all out to contain the three armies of Chengwei, Fengxiang, and Feixiong. It's just unclear how many troops the Sea Clan can gather this time."

The enemy's situation is unknown, and it is really difficult to make decisions.

"It's simple."

Tang Jing had an idea, "Aren't there still a thousand Naga warriors locked up in Chang'an Prison?"

"Send the three Naga warriors back and ask them to send a message to the Naga Queen. If you want the thousand Naga warriors to survive, they will obediently send you the information about the Sea Clan's attack."

"According to the information given by the Mermaid Clan, it is very possible that the Sea Dragon Clan is willing to send troops to attack Chang'an City this time, and Queen Naga is instigating it."

To this day, Queen Naga doesn't know that there are still a thousand Naga clansmen alive in Chang'an City.

and this.

It became Chang'an's biggest handle to control the Naga Queen.

It is true that Queen Naga wants to avenge Chang'an, but these thousand Naga warriors are really important to the Naga clan, and it can be said that it is related to the survival of the species.

If Queen Naga is unwilling to disclose the information, or the information is wrong.

Chang'an executed the thousand naga.

In that case, even if Queen Naga succeeds in her revenge, she will suffer a crushing defeat.

want to come.

In order to keep the people alive, Queen Naga doesn't mind being a young girl for a while.

"Master is wise!"

After all, Du Ruhui is a latecomer, and he doesn't know much about the previous situation of the territory.

I didn't expect this crop for a while.

"With Queen Naga as the internal support, this battle is more than [-]% sure."

"Then let's do it first."

Right now, both the Hai Clan and the coalition forces are still in the planning stage, and Chang'an can only keep the same and try to gather information as much as possible.

Whether the intelligence is accurate or not, in a sense, will also be related to the success or failure of the follow-up.

"My lord, on the side of the coalition forces, should we also ask Black Snake to talk to Grant and ask Grant to test the situation of the coalition forces?" Du Ruhui suggested.

"can!"

.........

Tara Province, Duck County.

In the last round of war between Chang'an and the Aztec Alliance, Chang'an was naturally the biggest beneficiary, and Grant actually made a big mistake.

With the cooperation with Chang'an, they not only jumped out of the quagmire of war in the River Valley Province, but also conquered Dak County, Louis County and Lanxi County in the southeast of Tara Province one after another.

Occupies one-third of the land in Lower Tara province.

Although he bears the name of treason because of this, he has reaped real benefits.

No loss at all!

Recently, Grant is gearing up to take Baru County north of Dak County.

Once successful.

Then he can really be equally divided with Tara city-state and become a veritable great lord.

That is, the big warlord in the mouth of the alliance.

During the just-concluded siege of the beast tide, the Aztec Alliance generally paid more attention to Lorton County and Nash County, which were making a big splash. Little did they know that Grant was also one of the biggest beneficiaries.

His new main city - Dak City, has come to the edge of being promoted to the first-level county city.

Once promoted successfully.

Then Grant can truly secure the throne of the Aztec Alliance Champion.

The outlook is brighter.

But a piece of news he received recently made Grant suddenly unhappy.

According to the informant he received, two days ago, at the request of the coalition commander Douglas, the alliance urgently convened a council to discuss sending troops to Chang'an.

I heard it was very noisy.

Grant's focus on how the Alliance Council wrangled was naturally not the focus of Grant's attention, but there was one thing that he had to pay attention to—

At the Alliance Council, Eric, the governor of the Tara province, proposed that if the coalition forces of the Tara province cooperate with the coalition forces in combat, they must agree to one condition of the Tara province——

Before the expedition, first concentrate the power of the alliance to assist the Tara Province to destroy the Grant Department.

"The most important reason for the alliance's defeat in the last battle was that it did not pay enough attention to the variable of Grant, which led to Grant's treason, which in turn caused the entire alliance to lose."

"This time, will the alliance repeat the same mistakes?"

"Last time, Grant was able to make a dirty deal with Chang'an. This time, wouldn't it be possible? If the battle between the two sides is in full swing, Chang'an's army will use Grant's territory to attack Tara Province."

"So what?"

On the League Council, Eric spoke uprightly.

to be honest.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to use the knife of the "Allied Forces" to get rid of Grant's confidant.

How does this not make Grant feel heavy?

If the alliance really agreed to Eric's request, even if Grant was very confident in leading troops to fight, it would be hard to say that he could survive under the attack of the coalition forces.

After all, the total strength of Dak County is only 20.

It's not even comparable to the Tara Provincial Allied Forces.

Prior to this, the reason why Grant had the confidence to take the initiative to launch an attack on Baru County when the total force was not dominant was that the coalition forces in Tara Province wanted to fight on two fronts.

In order to guard against Chang'an.

The coalition forces of the Tara Province have stationed nearly 20 troops in the Ousan Fortress alone.

But now.

The situation seems to be reversed.

The only thing that made Grant feel a little relieved was that Eric's proposal was not passed on the spot at the league council that day.

The most resolute opponent was Douglas, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

The reason is also very simple.

"The Sea Clan will launch an attack on Chang'an City within a week. If the alliance rashly launches a war with Grant, the loss of soldiers will not be mentioned, and major events will be delayed, and a good opportunity to deal with Chang'an will be missed."

The land of the three counties occupied by Grant has also built cities.

It is not so easy to conquer.

As for whether the Hai Clan can wait for the alliance to deal with Grant, the traitor, before attacking Chang'an City, it does not depend on the Hai Clan, but on the war in the Beiluo Mountains.

Once the battle in the Beiluo Mountains is over, the plans of the Sea Clan and the coalition forces will all come to nothing.

The time window left for them is not long.

Facing Eric's appeal on behalf of the province of Tara, Douglas' answer was——

"The coalition forces of the province of Tara should first cooperate with the alliance's military operations. After the war in Chang'an is over, it won't be too late to deal with the traitor Grant after removing Chang'an's confidant."

"Without the backing of Chang'an, it's not easy to take care of Grant."

Douglas said so.

"As for the fact that Tara Province is worried that Grant will make peace with Chang'an again, and let Chang'an's army attack Tara Province by way, it is even more unnecessary."

"The goal of the coalition's battle this time is only to contain the three major armies of the enemy's Chengwei, Fengxiang, and Feixiong. If the Chang'an army really wants to use this way to enter the province of Tara, it can be regarded as achieving the goal of the battle."

"At that time, it will be easier to gather together and defend the city."

have to say.

Douglas' overall view is quite good.

Eric was also successfully persuaded.

But in this case, it was Grant's turn to worry. If the alliance really wanted to succeed, then he, as a traitor of the alliance, could imagine what would happen to him.

There is some regret in my heart.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. For Grant, there is no turning back.

It can only go one way to the dark.

Thinking in this way, Grant found Black Snake again and took the initiative to report the alliance's latest actions.

"..."

Hei Snake, who had just received the mission and hadn't had time to act, was also slightly taken aback.

This completes the task?
"Hey, thank you for letting me know!"

Although he was happy in his heart, Black Snake's face remained calm.

"Chang'an, you can block the attack of the coalition forces and the Haizu, right?" Grant asked tentatively.

When he was still the commander of the coalition forces, Grant's biggest goal was to conquer Chang'an City. Now that he has become a great lord, he hopes that Chang'an City will be as solid as a rock more than anyone else.

The safety of the whole body depends entirely on Chang'an.

"Of course!"

Black Snake answered decisively, but the more Grant listened, the more guilty he became, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Chang'an, if you have any plans, or if you need help, just mention it."

"I will definitely bring your meaning to my family as soon as possible."

Black Snake also felt Grant's sincerity.

.........

Back at the Lord's Mansion, Grant was still uneasy.

As soon as he entered the door, Willie, the Marshal of the Guards Brigade, came to report: "My lord, the coalition staff officer Mike is here, do you want to see him?"

"The action is fast, so let's see you."

Grant's eyes were bright. He had guessed before that Douglas refused to send troops to attack Dak, so before the war, he must send someone to appease him.

Sure enough, it was Mike again.

"General!"

When the two met, Mike still used the original address.

"Ah."

Grant's expression was indifferent, "Douglas sent you here?"

"Yes."

Mike didn't deny it, and explained with a smile: "I came here this time to have a good talk with the general. This time, it's the best chance for the general to really return to the alliance and be accepted by the alliance."

"In a sense, it may be the only chance."

"is it?"

Grant looked playful, "So, I still have to thank the alliance?"

"Hey!"

Before Mike could answer, Grant changed the subject, "It's so nice to say, the Alliance is just afraid of Dak's power, and doesn't want Dak to fall to Chang'an at a critical moment."

Douglas wanted to persuade the coalition forces of the three provinces to jointly deal with Chang'an.

However, once Grant launched an offensive against Baru County during this period, the 35 coalition forces in Natara Province would basically be tied up and unable to participate in the battle against Chang'an.

Make the alliance cut off its own arm.

Because of this, Douglas hastily sent Mike to be a lobbyist.

"This is indeed the result that the alliance wants." Mike did not deny it. "It would be even better if Darke could directly participate in the battle against Chang'an."

"What's the reason?"

"If Dake agrees to participate in the battle against Chang'an, then the alliance promises to reach a real reconciliation with Dake and re-accept Dake as a member of the alliance."

"As for you, General, you can also enter the Alliance Council in one fell swoop." Mike gave the conditions.

"Speaks better than sings."

Grant didn't believe it, "Anzhi, after the attack on Chang'an, the alliance won't let go of the grind and kill the donkey?"

It is very important even for Grant to have an eyeliner in the league.Therefore, until now, he has not voluntarily exposed, saying that he has learned of the "deal" between the alliance and the city-state of Tara.

But the attitude is already obvious.

"The general is worried that the alliance will help the city-state of Tara to defeat Dak?" Mike laughed.

"Shouldn't I be worried?"

Seeing that Mike picked up the words, Grant stopped hiding, "I'm a traitor."

"Everyone shouts and beats!"

"The general misunderstood."

With a solemn expression, Mike said in a deep voice: "In the alliance, only the city-state of Tara wants to eliminate Dak. From the perspective of the alliance, having Dak is actually far better than not having Dak."

"You mean checks and balances?"

How clever Grant is, he figured it out immediately.

"The general is indeed a smart man."

Mike explained with a smile: "Once Chang'an is destroyed, the current unity of the alliance will surely disappear. The provinces of Ika, Bit and Tara will turn from victims to become the strongest. "

"This is a situation that many people don't want to see."

"Especially the follow-up also involves the redistribution of benefits to the River Valley Province."

"When it comes to the Tara province, rather than letting the Tara city-state dominate, the alliance obviously prefers to see the two powers separate. How can they attack Dak?"

"..."

Grant fell silent.
