Chapter 163 Chapter [-] Do you want to be brigade commander?

The words of the short man did not panic the few "heads" present - everyone has been in this business for 20 to [-] years, why haven't you seen such a big storm?

Obviously they were not too worried. After all, it was the same in the past. Every time a vote was completed, the government would definitely take action even if they were pretending. Therefore, keep a low profile during this period and hide well.

It's been so many years, isn't it all here?
The so-called Three Caverns of the Cunning Rabbit, they don't only have this one stronghold, but a whole four, including Chutai Mountain, Zhaizi Mountain and other places.

But at this time, a young man who looked very gentle came over, cupped his hands and said: "Boss! The situation is not right this time, someone reminded us to be extremely careful."

On the side, the unshaven burly man picked up a glass of wine, raised his neck and gulped it down, and cursed, "White Monkey, are you messing with your broken radio again? Do you really believe in the British? Do you believe anything they say?"

But the young man insisted: "I have been right many times in the past, and this time it must be possible. Why did the British try to trick us into a bunch of thieves? Maybe the officers and soldiers are serious about it."

"The British are really happy to see the government go to great lengths to suppress us, but they must be right?" the short leader said disdainfully.

Due to military and political needs, MI[-] has been infiltrating Daming for many years. In addition to stealing information, mapping the port area, and investigating transportation hubs, supporting local bandits and rebel groups in Daming is also an important part.

While most of the time the latter hit it off with MI[-], after all who doesn't want extra help?

But they are still wary when they receive help, because they also know that these Europeans are using them.

"However, in the final analysis, the British don't want to see us perish, so they can't plan to frame us." Wan Tianhu, who was on the top table, wrapped in a cloak and eating snacks, finally said, "Send a few more waves of brothers , this time, pay more attention and investigate carefully."

How dare the boss not obey when he speaks?
Wan Tianhu's understatement suppressed the people who had disagreements just now, and they all took orders together.

So they quickly discussed again, and sent five or six clever guys out of the stronghold one after another, dressed as hunters or mountain people gathering herbs, to go out of the mountain to find out the movements of the Ming army.

In fact, the raid by bandits in Yiling Prefecture not only shocked the Ming government and the public, but also caused a lot of discussion among the people, as well as criticism from the public opinion of all countries in the world.

For example, "The Times" commented bluntly: "It is unimaginable in a civilized country to have organized bandits attacking cities. British citizens in Daming should pay attention to their own safety and avoid going to the suburbs... Condolences to the local civilians who were victimized ..."

Although public opinion has ulterior motives, the fact is true, and there is nothing to quibble about. This incident made the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty feel quite ashamed.

Therefore, on the morning of the [-]th, Zhou Changfeng had just hung up the inquiry call from the Governor's Mansion in Hubei, and then another call came.

"Why is the line busy all the time?"

This voice, as soon as you hear it, you know it's that woman!
A somewhat helpless Zhou Changfeng replied very concisely, "Just now the Governor's Mansion was asking about the specific progress."

"That's why I called too. How long will it take for you to settle this matter?"

"Uh... that's not certain. It takes a lot of time to search the mountain, and there's no way to be sure whether the tracking is going well or not."

Zhu Lingjing's tone was very calm, "In short, you have to solve it as soon as possible. Recently, the military department plans to form a military inspection team to go to Flangji. In a few days, when the news is released, you will sign up first, understand?"

Military expedition?to Spain?

It would be a lie to say that he was not interested, Zhou Changfeng felt that he was just a restless person.

But why did you call yourself to remind me of this?
"Why? Do you have any requirements?" He asked in surprise.

"Resume, do I need to say more?" Zhu Lingjing on the other end of the phone continued to say flatly: "The expansion of your army is inevitable, and the commander of a brigade must be at least a colonel. You can still get promoted before?"

hiss!The amount of information in this sentence is not small.

First of all, the first marine regiment will definitely expand before the end of next year, and it will be expanded into a brigade.

This is reasonable. The establishment of the Marine Regiment is essentially a test product. If you want to carry out combat missions independently, no matter how many support units you have, you must at least be at the brigade level to effectively exert combat power.

If he hadn't been promoted to colonel before then, his superiors would have parachuted a brigade commander over.

On the contrary, if he can be promoted to colonel, according to Zhu Lingjing's intention, the position of brigade commander will definitely be lost.

And I am too young, and I want to speed up my promotion in peacetime. This time I have made great achievements in suppressing stubborn bandits. On the other hand, I can also accumulate experience by going overseas to investigate wars.

In fact, in his own plan, the goal is to be promoted to colonel within one year after the outbreak of the war, brigadier general for three years, and major general for five years. However, it seems that it may be accelerated now?

It took a few seconds for Zhou Changfeng, with erratic eyes, to reply: "I will try my best to make this bandit suppression look beautiful."

Zhu Lingjing on the other end of the phone said "hmm", "If you need anything in the future, just ask, don't be shy about asking." Then she hung up the phone.

She has basically planned the future route now, and she got permission from the emperor last time, which shows that the future can be expected.

Since the royal family needs a new, influential person who can act as a conciliator, they might as well do it themselves.

Entering politics and entering the political arena requires support from many sources, and it is best to have one's own direct descendants, especially generals in the military.

Obviously, those middle-aged and cunning generals will only temporarily obey the call because of the convergence of interests. It is unrealistic to expect them to become their own people.

Therefore, it is best to cultivate one's own person from scratch, so that loyalty is so sure, this is a serious lineage.

So the up-and-coming Zhou Changfeng was caught by her eagerly. At that time, she was afraid that if she moved too slowly, she would be preempted by others.

Now it seems that the trend is good. If everything goes well, I will have a 28-year-old colonel in charge of a brigade alone, which makes her quite self-confident——Is the result of my cultivation very impressive?

At the place where she stayed, Su Yiyi, the female attendant standing by, heard the whole conversation just now, and couldn't help but complain a little in her heart.

Seriously, Your Highness, your speech is really ugly.

Just... there is an invisible strange feeling that can make people feel uncomfortable, which can be called magical.

When it comes to temperament and behavior, Su Yiyi thinks that Zhu Lingjing is pretty good, and she doesn't seem to be rude or unreasonable, but these words are really helpless.

Recalling her conversation with Zhou Changfeng, the corners of Su Yiyi's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times. Thanks to someone in Zhou who had a good temper that time, if she changed someone, the princess might run away in anger.
