Want a daughter-in-law or a son [Rebirth]

The atmosphere in the conference room was awkward.

An Yue propped his chin with one hand, and tapped the table lightly with the other hand, looking at ease and contentment. Opposite An Yue, Lei Ting sat in his seat expressionlessly, staring straight ahead, with his back straight. , like a statue.

To be honest, seeing Lei Ting sitting so straight and upright, and seeing An Yue's lazy and casual sitting posture, An Yi felt like An Yue had no bones. If he was at home, An Yi would definitely not say anything, but this was in the Imperial Army. In the meeting room of the Ministry, would An Yue really not be kicked out of the meeting room like this?

An Yi secretly took a look at the top military commanders of the various bases present, and found that most of them looked thoughtful, obviously having their own agendas.

After waiting for a while, Qu Lv, the supreme military commander of the No. [-] base, came late with a crumpled military jacket, disheveled and disheveled. Looking at Qu Lv's attire, it is absolutely unimaginable that this person is actually The top military commander in charge of a large base, from head to toe, Melody doesn't look like a soldier, more like a cynical swinger brother.

Qu Lu looks very young, and should be about the same age as An Yue, but An Yi knows that this person must not be underestimated. He can sit at the top military commander of the base at a young age, whether it is Lei Ting or Qu Lu. Fuel-efficient lights.

After entering the meeting room in a calm manner, Qu Lu went directly to the empty seat beside An Yue, and just about to sit down when he pulled away the stool, An Yue suddenly raised his leg and stepped on the stool, preventing Qu Lu from sitting down. Xia, even under the bewildered expression of Qu Lu, looked up at Qu Lu innocently, and smiled softly: "Sorry, this seat is occupied."

Qu Li glanced at the top military commanders of the other bases sitting there, and then looked at An Yue with an expression of looking at an idiot, as if to say: Isn't everyone else there?Are you kidding me?

An Yue didn't say much, but still stubbornly occupied the seat and refused to give up.

No way, Qu Lu could only curl his lips, cursed and went to another vacant seat, so as not to die, the last remaining seat was right next to Rao Xian, and Rao Xian looked reluctant , obviously the relationship between the two is not very good.

As soon as Qu Lu was seated, before he had time to catch his breath, Tong Xuan snorted coldly, and attacked him unceremoniously: "The top military commanders of the major bases are all gathered in the conference room waiting for you alone, Qu Lu Your face is really big!"

Qu Lu shrugged indifferently, and said indifferently: "Aren't I not late? Besides, isn't the marshal not here yet? General Tong Xuan blamed me as soon as he opened his mouth. It's too much to make a fuss!"

Tong Xuan was even angrier when he heard the words, he slapped the table and stood up, stiffened his neck, and reprimanded loudly: "Qu Lv, what did you mean just now! Do you still want to accuse the marshal of being late for the meeting?"

Qu Lu turned his head and no longer looked at Tong Xuan, but raised his hand and picked out his ears with his little finger, as if I was too lazy to talk nonsense with you, he slapped him upside down and said: "General Tong Xuan, please don't label me indiscriminately and accuse You said the marshal was late for the meeting, but I never said it."

"Qulu! You..." Tong Xuan was so angry that the veins on his neck popped out.

At this moment, Mr. Mian couldn't stand it any longer, clapped his hands lightly, and eased the atmosphere, saying: "Okay, what's the use of fighting for the advantage of words? Everyone should say less!"

Now that Mr. Mian had spoken, Tong Xuan couldn't say anything more, suppressed his anger, and obediently sat back on the chair, only to be annoyed by the tune, Tong Xuan's face became even uglier, just like a black-faced god .

"Since everyone is here, let's invite the Marshal to preside over today's meeting."

"Yes." There were two guards guarding the door of the meeting room. After hearing Mianlao's order, one of them bowed down and bowed before accepting the order.

Not long after, Marshal Munir in military uniform appeared in the meeting room with Chief Logistics Officer Tang.

"Generals, long time no see."

Marshal Munir is an elderly man. He is meticulously dressed in military uniform, with the top button buttoned up. Although he is in his sixtieth year, he is still very handsome and gives people a sense of righteousness.

As soon as he entered the meeting room, Marshal Munir greeted everyone with a smile. He was very approachable, but An Yi knew that this smiling little old man must not be underestimated. After all, he was the supreme commander in charge of the Imperial Army. Convincing the generals of the major bases depends on absolute strength.

As soon as Marshal Munir appeared, all the generals in the conference room stood up, even the most sloppy tunes, and stood up straight, waiting for Marshal Munir to take his seat.

"Stop standing, sit down."

After Marshal Munir took his seat, the generals of the major bases sat back in their chairs, waiting for Marshal Munir to preside over the meeting.

"Today I have brought you generals to a meeting for no other reason. I just want to ask you generals for their opinions on one thing. Please speak freely and don't hide it. We will brainstorm and discuss this matter as soon as possible to come up with a charter." .”

Marshal Munir opened his head, turned his head to look at Mr. Tang who was sitting on his left, and signaled that Mr. Tang, the logistics chief of the Imperial Army, would speak next.

Tang Lao understood, nodded lightly, then stood up and faced the eight generals sitting on both sides, and said firmly: "Thank you generals for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to the meeting. Talk more, get straight to the point."

An Yi noticed that when Old Tang was talking, the expressions on the faces of the other generals present, including his brother An Yue, were very disapproving. They just looked at Marshal Munir's face and did not interrupt Old Tang. Talking to yourself, it is obvious that all the generals present have deep resentment towards the old man.

An Yi sneaked a few more glances at Tang Lao, and found that Tang Lao, a shriveled and thin old man with white beard, was different from the kind-faced Mian Lao. Tang Lao's appearance was obviously more sarcastic, with small eyes, big nose, thin lips, and squinting eyes. When he gets up, he also gives people the feeling of a shrewd philistine.Reminiscing that Mr. Tang is not only the confidant of Marshal Munir, but also the chief of logistics of the entire Imperial Army. He probably has dealings with the top military commanders of the major bases on weekdays. No wonder he is so unlikable.

"Some time ago, when I was cleaning up the mineral resources under the name of the Imperial Army, I found a few metal mines that were half-mined and then forced to stop. They are all very high-quality mineral resources. I wonder if the generals intend to buy them?"

As soon as Tang Lao said half of what he said, he heard Qu Lu let out a sarcasm laugh, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Chang Lao really deserves to be the chief logistics officer of the Imperial Army. This ability to turn black and white and confuse right and wrong is beyond me. Wait for admiration!"

"General Qulu has something to say in his words. An old and rough man, he is used to going straight. If you have something to say, it implies sharpness and is full of twists and turns. Sorry for being dull, I really don't understand the song. General Lu's implication." The old man's small eyes narrowed into a slit, and he could faintly see the light flashing: "Marshal has something to say first, I hope everyone can speak freely, don't hide it, what General Qulu wants to say, just say it !"

Qu Lv snorted coldly, and slowly said: "The old man is as clever as a reed, he just wants to tell us that those metal mines that were half-mined and then forced to stop are all very high-quality metal mines." Resources... But, if those few metal mines are really of such high quality, why would they be forced to stop halfway through mining? Who doesn't know that there is a huge commercial value behind any metal mine, as long as it is successfully mined, it is a There is only one possibility that the mining will be interrupted halfway through, and the metal mine being mined will prove to be an abandoned mine!"

Hearing this, An Yi already understood a little bit.

The various metals mined from the metal mines are the largest available resources on the planet Tadimore, maintaining the daily life of all citizens of the empire on the entire planet. However, the planet Tadimore is a planet that is extremely scarce in resources. Metal mines are extremely rare, and they are hard to come by. Every time one is found, it will cause quite a stir in the empire, and then it will also bring great economic value.

In order to search for various metal mines buried under the leylines, the empire spent a lot of time and energy training professionals, and worked hard for several generations to continuously design and transform various equipment for exploring metal mines.

It's a pity that half the effort is half the effort.

Until today, when science and technology are so advanced, it is still not easy to find metal mines. The discovery of the largest metal mine in the empire has exhausted the unremitting efforts of three generations of scientific researchers.

Under such circumstances, in order to better mobilize the enthusiasm of the citizens of the empire to find metal mines, the consuls issued a decree to mark the places where metal mines are suspected to be found, and then open bidding to the whole country to seek The cooperation of all aspects of the class in order to maximize efficiency.

It can be said that the consuls passed on the initial investment risk of mining metal mines through this public auction.

Metal mines are buried deep underground. If you want to confirm the quality of mineral resources in a certain metal mine, the results are not accurate by measuring alone. The only and best way is to spend a lot of time and money on deep excavation and mining. .

But keep in mind that not every time you invest a large sum of money in mining, you will receive a satisfactory return on investment.

After the metal mine is sold through bidding, it no longer belongs to the empire, but is completely privately owned. In this way, no matter the quality of the metal mined in the end, whether it can be used or not, the risk is borne by the buyer.

This is a big gamble, and it's all about vision and luck.

The Imperial Army seems to have been one of the behind-the-scenes purchasers of various metal mines.

After listening to the conversation between Tang Lao and Qu Lu, An Yi guessed that the Imperial Army probably didn't bet on the right thing. The few high-quality metal mines that Tang Lao talked about have now become unfinished projects. If they continue to mine, they are doomed to lose money. And just give up like this, that is to waste a lot of real money, no matter how rich and powerful the Imperial Army Department is, it probably won't be able to bear it.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Marshal Munir called the top military commanders of the major bases to the capital for a meeting. It was called to discuss countermeasures, but in essence, he wanted the major bases to help fill the shortfall.

I have to admit that the Imperial Army really has a good plan.

The top military commanders of the major bases are not stupid. The Imperial Army started with unexploited metal mines, and the investment may recover the cost, and even obtain a high return, but the Imperial Army let the major bases subscribe But it is a half-mined metal mine. Everyone knows that it will not have too high value. Buying and selling by force is not obvious.

To put it bluntly, the imperial military department is too unsightly, and wants to make the major bases under it pay for their wrong investment decisions. The generals understand it in their hearts, but because of the face of Marshal Munir, they see it through without telling it. Li, bravely stood up and became the person who exposed the hypocrisy and lies.
