Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 431

The round-the-world voyage route obtained by the Ministry of Rites does not have any big ideas, because their work is more about communicating and negotiating with existing countries, and most of the time it is establishing diplomatic relations, exchanging credentials, and improving their presence. of.But for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Immigration Affairs, the route and possible related military operations are already a matter of quarrel.

At the new round-the-world voyage preparatory meeting, Ming officials from different ministries were almost arguing to do it.

The preparatory meeting is divided into several levels. The highest level is the participation of His Majesty the Emperor himself, and the heads of all relevant ministries and committees.However, it is impossible for the emperor to accompany the ministers to meetings every day. The emperor himself is quite busy, and he is still a college student. He seems to be picking up girls recently.

The second level is the ministerial meeting, where ministers will discuss and meet with each other on some relatively important matters, and then set a relatively large-scale charter.

The last level of meeting is the business meeting. The participants are all officials of the ministries who actually do things. This kind of meeting may be held several times a day. A few people, a conversation between two ministries.The staff must implement every detail of the huge global voyage plan. Even if everyone knows that when the ship leaves the port, goes to the sea, and arrives at the ports of different countries, various unimaginable or unplanned events will inevitably occur. The incidents and plans did not change quickly, but Daming had already formed such a working mode.

This working mode originated from Bai Mingxiu. He is a person who loves planning, and even likes to prepare plans. When the real crisis comes, people who have plans to follow will not panic.

This kind of Ming Dynasty Office is simply not comparable to any previous dynasty in terms of administrative efficiency and execution capabilities.Ming officials also worked extraordinarily hard, but under the modern national system, Ming could support a larger bureaucratic team and use more efficient working methods.

Gao Ning and Li Wan, two young army officers who returned to Suncheon from North Korea, were arrested and returned to work without a few days off.They belonged to the talents trained by the Ministry of War, and the two were caught and entered the preparatory meeting.It wasn't long after the two of them heard about the circumnavigation, they had to sit down and discuss all kinds of things with colleagues from other departments who were wearing formal clothes instead of military uniforms.

Of course, the two young men are not the main person in charge of the meeting, they just attend the meeting along with them, even if it is a third-level business meeting, the main participants are at least director-level and deputy director-level bosses of various ministries.

"I hope I don't make a fool of myself for a while." Li Wannian said to Gao Ning muttering.

Gao Ning asked: "Why, you are not afraid of war, but you are afraid of a meeting."

"I'm afraid of a ball in a meeting, but the chief of staff, as an old man, likes to promote democracy when he has nothing to do. Ask the young comrades what they think. Hey, if you want to ask me how to fight a war or how to flirt with a girl, I, Li Wan, have a lot of opinions and insights. Extraordinary, if you want to talk about grand strategy, I can understand six of the seven orifices, but I don’t know anything about it.”

"I think that when it comes to how to fight wars, your vision is also limited. You are very good at political work and logistics." Gao Ning stabbed mercilessly.

Li Wan glared at his hair angrily, and said, "Comrade Gao Ning, I found that your tail is very curled up now."

The two were chatting and laughing, and Tian Guangan, the chief of staff over there, came over with a smile, "Hey, what are you talking about, you are so happy to talk, tell me too."

"Chief of Staff." Both of them saluted.

"Okay, let's go, I guess some people will suffer." Tian Guang'an immediately set the main tone of the meeting.

Following the chief of staff, the big boss, into the conference room, two young military officers sat down with some apprehension. There were already a lot of officials from different ministries sitting opposite. Gao Ning identified the nameplates. Ministry, as well as the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Commerce.

The Minister of Immigration Affairs came from Shangshu Xue Shuting. This Shangshu does not have a high sense of presence in the Legislative Yuan. In essence, the Immigration Department is a small department. Many people even agree that this is a cold government office.But today, when Xue Shangshu saw Tian Guangan, he threw a thick document on the table, ignored Tian Guangan who was always smiling like Maitreya Buddha, and said, "Your military department is crazy."

Tian Guang'an seemed to have known that Xue Shuting would go crazy, so he still smiled kindly: "Shang Shu, you can't just veto the plan made by our military department just because your immigration department is not capable enough."

Xue Shangshu sarcastically said: "Our Department of Immigration Affairs is not capable enough. To match the 'magnificent' plan of your military department, I am afraid that you have to invite a department of immigration affairs composed of gods from the sky. Look at what kind of plan you are doing. I think you are writing a novel. For a global voyage, you will occupy more than [-] colonies, and build trade points and military bases. Fortunately, your plan was not submitted to His Majesty or the Ministry of Finance. Ask for money, otherwise your military department will have to be scolded by people."

Tian Guang'an took the thick plan book, flipped through it casually, and said, "Is this a preliminary plan? Besides, our Ministry of War has put our heart into it. The current geopolitical situation is like this. Our Daming Possessing superior strength, and compared with other countries, the advantages will become greater and greater. His Majesty's central idea is to expand the future living space for our Chinese descendants and build an empire on which the sun never sets. Our Ministry of War is very good It fulfilled its original intention.”

Li Wan couldn't help tilting his head, and asked Gao Ning in a low voice, "Why did we get into an argument, what's going on?"

A trace of disgust appeared on Gao Ning's indifferent face, and he said, "Didn't you read the report we made?"

"Such a thick thing, does anyone really pay attention to it?"

Gao Ning ignored Li Wan's laziness, and said succinctly: "The report made by our Ministry of War includes the establishment of more than 20 large and small colonies in India, Tianfang, Africa, Europe, North and South America and other places, many of which are occupied by undeveloped land. There are also some captured from other countries. I was quite surprised after seeing it. If this plan is really carried out, this round-the-world voyage can actually be renamed the global occupation. The Ministry of War plans to use more than 1 soldiers to complete this For one event, the total military expenditure is hundreds of millions of taels."

After hearing this, Li Wan almost cried out, quickly covered his mouth, and said, "If I were Xue Shangshu, I would probably lose my temper. Who made this plan? It can't be called militarism."

Gao Ning nodded, and said, "This is called map opening."
