Restart Red Moon, from arms dealer to imperial command

Chapter 32 Decision
"I didn't look for him, he came to me impatiently first."

Bo Lingyu sneered: "Okay, I didn't have dinner anyway—call him in."

"Yes." The adjutant left to invite someone.

Bai Lingyu picked up the phone again: "Hello."

"Why," Bai Shu said with a light smile, "is the warlord eunuch bothering you?"

Bai Lingyu raised his eyebrows: "A military supervisor eunuch?"

"Well," Bai Shu teased, "In ancient times, the emperor who centralized power was afraid that the general would rebel, so he sent eunuchs around him to monitor the separation of powers in the army. Isn't this the case now?"

Generally speaking, the chief of the army is responsible for city defense, hunters, weapons and other related matters, and the dispatched chief inspector is responsible for the economy, order, and pollution prevention and control of the city.

But when a war is fought, the chief inspector sent abroad can also record and "auxiliary command" military affairs, and can be regarded as a representative of the parliament.

"This description..."

Bai Lingyu scratched the stubble on his chin, and agreed quite curiously: "Very image."

The two laughed at the same time, and Bai Shu took the initiative to give the steps: "I'll call back after you finish discussing."

Controlled disclosure of information and direct listening to confidential conversations are not the same concept, even if the conversation basically revolves around the matter of "parliamentary wrangling".But the old man's trust in her is not yet in place, so he might hesitate.

Pass the old man down the steps, Baishu is familiar with this matter.

"Hey, don't," Bo Lingyu stopped before Bai Shu hung up, "Hold up for a while, I guess he's here to talk about the dispute with the council this morning, just so you can listen."

Bai Shu paused and smiled in relief: "Okay."

Bai Lingyu said "hmm" on the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of the door opening.

Bai Shu muted the call on the wristband, adjusted the bluetooth to ensure that he could hear the conversation on the other side clearly, went to the pancake stand and ordered a pancake fruit, then walked to the nearby grocery store.

She wants to choose a gift for Avril Lavigne.

"Kid, what do you want?" The salesperson folded his arms on the cashier table and leaned forward to ask.

"Is there a gift for a little girl?"

"Go straight to the innermost shelves."

They were very girlish, but they were cheap, ordinary plastic dolls, or cookie-cutter dolls.

Bai Shu went to the next one.

"There is no evidence, and this kind of evacuation plan is randomly formulated and arranged based on guesswork. I don't know how much panic will be caused and how many resources will be wasted!
"The forest on the east bank is one of the main habitats of aliens, and the third base is the most important thing. The general actually has the heart to retreat, which is simply shocking!"

In the bluetooth is a middle-aged male voice like a frying pan, questioning each sentence:
"The parliament must coordinate the overall situation and take the overall situation into consideration! After approving the ridiculous plan of the third base, what do other bases think? What do the people think? Do you mean to hand over our homeland to others?!"

Noisy.

Luckily I'm wearing the right ear. Is this guy a machine gun?The words came out suddenly... Baizhu didn't show it on his face, and he gently tugged his ears.

"I'm just saying make a plan to evacuate the people, not the military."

Beringyu said in a calm voice, "We will not surrender the human territory to aliens."

"I don't think so. Colonel Bai's rest for so long has worn away his vigor."

Very good, there is the feeling of the warlord and eunuch who dominates the power of others.

Bai Zhu frowned in displeasure, and happened to be holding the price tag of the rag doll in his hand. This behavior made the owner of the handicraft stall get excited and said nervously:
"Is the price too expensive? This is a doll I embroidered myself. The price can be lowered for you."

"No."

Bai Shu calmed down, looked at the young girl with a little social fear, and smiled a little, "These dolls are very beautiful, are they all embroidered by myself? What kind of material?"

The boss heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, "Yes, the fabric and cotton are good, and the dolls are all unique. They were originally my own."

She showed some sadness on her face, but she still smiled: "So I want to help them find a better place to belong, and exchange some money by the way—people who can spend money to buy dolls during this period should be able to treat them kindly."

Tag price: 30 points.

This price is the food expenses of the poor in Ercheng for a month. After all, five steamed buns and a small bag of pickles are sold for 2.3 points. There is no need to drink pure water in barrels, and you can pick up wooden sticks to boil water yourself.

The income of hunters in Ercheng is upper-middle class, and the top hunters like Ning Zhi can be said to have no shortage of money to spend.

"Just this."

Bai Shu pointed to a quiet doll in a white dress, with a simple white rose clip pinned to her long black hair, even smiling shyly.

"Ah, when this doll was made, there was no cotton, and the inner core was stuffed with dried red beans, is it okay?"

"Of course, the doll has a firm heart, and the person I want to give it to is also very strong," Bai Shu smiled, "Please wrap it up for me, by the way, do you have any pink ribbons? If so, I'll buy two."

The boss readily responded and picked up the doll packaging.

The chief inspector on the Bluetooth side had finished his arrogance, and Bai Lingyu just said a leisurely and perfunctory "hmm".

The sound stopped abruptly, probably because the chief inspector, who was flaunting his might, was very angry.

Bai Shu waited quietly.

After a while, I heard the voice of the chief inspector gnashing his teeth: "It's no wonder you are being targeted by the parliament for such a wild person who can't get on the stage, and you are sent to the outermost line to eat sand!"

Bai Shu's eyes darkened instantly.

Bai Lingyu had never been to a military academy. He commanded brilliantly in a small village turmoil, and rose to prominence after being appreciated by the commander-in-chief. He was indeed a "wild way", but his record was very good, far surpassing that of the commanders of the same period. Is the empire's youngest colonel.

However, after the harm of the Red Moon pollution was "reduced", the parliament repeatedly suppressed it, and the promotion of the rank that should have been given to Beringyu was delayed again and again.

Stationing in the outer city is of course as high as the sky and the emperor is far away. Speaking of it, it is free, but what if the officer could have been more relaxed and more honorable in the inner city?Bai Shu doesn't care about these things, neither does Bai Lingyu, but objectively speaking, this is "mistreatment".

The inspector general saw this.

"Don't worry, I won't steal your food."

Bering's praise is not affected in the slightest:

"If the Chief Inspector likes it, I'll send you to eat sand tonight, two mouthfuls up and down, and I'll find someone to fill it up for you, so it's transparent!"

puff!
Bai Shu almost laughed out loud.

"You," the inspector fumed, "you are vulgar!"

"I'm vulgar? I'm not as vulgar as you for recruiting/prostitutes and being caught. I heard that there were both men and women in scantily-clothed clothes. Oh, that scene... don't mention it. I almost vomited out of my lunch."

Berringyu's voice was flamboyant:
"I didn't expect you to have kidney deficiency and go to the Mediterranean Sea, and you can still play like this? Did you receive the Kidney Treasure I gave you? I specially asked a friend to buy it, and it also comes with the little blue pill you often use!"

"You, you! Sure enough, you asked the guards to go there!" The inspector yelled in anger.

It turns out there is such a thing!
Bai Shu couldn't help but laugh until his stomach hurt.

When you meet your partner, everyone has the same attitude.

Politicians like to criticize and criticize people, stumbling upon family members on the surface and making trouble on the bottom.

People in the army are rough, and those who have led soldiers on the front line for a long time are even more "indecent". If they are equal, they can still put on a show in front of others.

"Here," the boss handed out the packing bag, "your ribbon and doll."

"Thank you."

Bai Shu took it happily, tied two pink bows on the doll, paid the money and returned the way he came.

The flower vendor selling blue cornflowers on the street was shouting. Baizhu stopped and spent 44 points to pick five small handfuls.

Flowers were a luxury in every era, let alone now. The neighbor lady planted the bouquet yesterday and gave it to Baizhu out of Ning Zhi's care.

"This cornflower is so beautiful."

When getting dinner, the stall owner's aunt exclaimed.

Bai Shu took two flowers out of her own and gave them to her, and she got a package of spicy strips for free.

The bluetooth side is done.

Bai Lingyu proudly picked up the phone in a triumphant manner: "Hello?"

Bai Shu was amused, unmute, and walked back while responding:
"So he solved the problem, or just came to show off to you stupidly?"

"Of course I choose B," Bai Lingyu said, "When he comes, B will make noise."

Bai Shu laughed and said slowly:
"The assigned inspector general is somewhat involved in the smuggling business. Not only is he sure that the council intends to suppress you, it's also because you don't cooperate with him, or you don't want to make a fortune together, and it may even delay him from making a fortune."

"The border is not where they make their fortunes."

Bai Lingyu emphasized: "I admit the importance of dispatching inspectors to centralize power, but next time, can they send a dog with a little brain? It's really not afraid of accidents to bark at local snakes."

"Because he's also sure that you won't kill him, at least not now."

"Yes," Bai Lingyu admitted, "the people of the Second Outer City have been bullied enough. If you kill the Inspector General, you don't know what will happen. Besides, if you kill this one, there will be another one. You don't know who the next one is." What the hell."

Bai Shu nodded, she agreed with this sentence.

Beat the dog to see the owner.

Before touching the bottom line of city defense, even Bai Shu would not easily touch the Inspector General.

The original intention of this position was to check and balance, to prevent the border military officers from dominating one family or even changing their minds. It is indispensable to the management of the empire, but it is hard to describe the people who are sent.

After all, in the eyes of the councilors in the inner city: "greed" is just an insignificant shortcoming. The most important thing for expatriates is loyalty and the bond with the interests of the inner city family.

"Substantial evidence must be obtained, otherwise the retreat plan will be formulated, and there will be no way to dispatch it in time," Bai Lingyu said. Other defense areas are prepared."

What he looked at was the entire defense line of the outer two cities.

Bai Shu had exactly this intention, and thought it over:

"The council's insistence is also understandable. Retreating early or closing the city will cause considerable losses. Moreover, after the East Bank District is approved, the other two urban districts will also have to synchronize their strategies. The loss index will increase, so we need to be cautious.

"Taking a step back, although the parliament doesn't care about the civilians in the second city, it cannot deny their role and the military significance of the second city.

"Keeping the front line, even the parliament agrees with us. So even if it is true, they still hope that the outer two cities will die and survive. They will desperately hold the line of defense and don't think about retreating."

"……you're right."

Bai Lingyu sighed.

He knew all this, and there was also a white art that was hidden, but both of them knew it.

For the human collective alone, retreat is not optimal.

If the second city cannot be defended, the consumption of transferring residents will be several times that of abandoning residents.Not to mention the food crisis and material shortage after the pollution worsens.

Holding flowers, presents and dinner, Bai Shu is getting closer and closer to the house.

"so……"

"so……"

Beringyu and she spoke at the same time, and silenced at the same time.

Bai Shu smiled silently and continued:
"So I still have the same attitude, the withdrawal plan must be made and approved.

"I need to find evidence outside the city, and I have to do something more adventurous, and the sooner the better, how about two days later?"

There was silence on the Bluetooth side, and Bai Shu stopped at the door of the house, looking in with his head tilted.

The warm yellow light is right in front of you, and the fragrance of cornflowers and the warm aroma of dinner linger on your nose.

In the office, Bai Lingyu faced the one-way mirror window, and the lights of Wanjia were reflected in his eyes, like the shining stars in the world. He laughed and nodded in agreement:
"can."

Bai Zhu bent her lips, ended the call, put on a hearing aid, and walked into the house.

Avril, who had been waiting all this time, said "Wow" in surprise. Feng Jinyun and Ning Zhi were sitting at the table eating fruit, and the kitchen was filled with fragrance.

The home that was still deserted when I left was full of excitement.

"Sister Ning, you are not in the bar..."

"For the reunion dinner tonight, of course she will come back. Didn't the fat man show off his tricks last night?"

Feng Jinyun explained while helping to get the things, "Don't eat these pancakes yet, save your stomach for good food."

"So many flowers, are they for us?" Ning Zhi took a bunch of blue cornflowers, "It seems that it is right to have a reunion banquet today, and there are unexpected surprises."

"Wow!" Avril took the gift and exclaimed in surprise, "This doll is so beautiful! So are the flowers!"

"Sweet and sour fish is ready! Come serve the dishes!"

Fatty Liu greeted him, and walked out of the kitchen with a hot fish plate.

"Take chopsticks, take chopsticks."

"Is there no drink? Children can't drink, I remember I put..."

Bai Zhu sat down at the table, exhaled relaxedly, and laughed slowly.

There are human beings.

Abandoning individuals to ensure collective interests is of course the "optimal solution", but at the same time, it is meaningless to abandon the collective interests of mankind preserved by countless innocent individuals.

This was also the first lesson Bai Lingyu taught her:
"Love the person, not the word 'human'."

Bai Shu always remembered.

　Two in one, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a follow-up!
