I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 171

The bombing of the ship transporting the prisoners was still suppressed by Lin Mo. Lin Jian didn't know what method he used, but anyway, she didn't hear about it from any channels, and no one came to look for it. her trouble.In fact, she did this without anyone noticing. If anyone would trouble her, it would only be Lin Mo.

However, on the day of the banquet, Lin Mo was angry and grabbed Lin Jian's arm to question him, but he was still seen by others.Combined with the fact that Lin Jian was seen in close contact with a low-ranking officer when he walked down the spiral staircase of the Red Maple Hall, not long after the banquet ended, rumors of the hottest duchess at the moment spread on the capital star Aschet.

Since the parties concerned are very low-key people, gossip people can't dig out more in-depth information, so the rumors are quite general, to the effect that: the duchess fell in love with a low-level officer, and the marshal's brother scolded his sister because he was dissatisfied with the other's identity.And the discussion that arose alongside this rumor was: which golden bachelor of the capital star can fall into the eyes of Marshal Lin Mo, and some good people even drafted the top ten golden bachelors of the capital star for reference.On this list, the 35-year-old still single Imperial Prime Minister, the Marquess of Chatterley, and the 33-year-old Lin Mo tied for the top spot.

"Isn't it for your sister to be considered candidates? Why are you and Lin Zi's names on it?" Edward sat in Lin Mo's office with nothing to do as before, looking at the list and laughing, "But say Really, I said that night that no one is right with your family Lin Jian except the emperor. Looking at the list now, I am indeed not knowledgeable enough. Tsk tsk, every name on this list is so shining. You said you and The Marquess of Chatterley, at such an advanced age, still dominates this list, so he doesn't give newcomers a chance. Oh, look, maybe you can really choose a good brother-in-law in it."

"Why are you still so idle when you become the chief of the gendarmerie?" Lin Mo was so quarreled by Edward that he couldn't bear it. "She, who can bear it, give her the aftermath all day long!"

Hearing this, Edward knew what Lin Mo was talking about, so he turned his face and looked at Lin Mo's expression carefully before saying, "To be honest, she did this very secretly, at least few people know the motive. So there are not many people who will contact her about this matter. Even if they think about her, no one has evidence. You are too cautious in handling this matter. I am not saying that it is wrong for you to suppress this matter , but it’s not necessary. If you involve Lin Jian, you will lose your cool.”

Lin Mo listened to Edward's words without saying a word. He knew in his heart that what the other party said was correct, but...he shook his head, shaking off the chaotic emotions in his mind, and his tone was rarely helpless: " Caring is nothing but chaos, when your daughter grows up enough to cause trouble, you will know how I feel."

"Hey, you crow's mouth. My babies are very well-behaved." Hearing Lin Mo's words, Edward almost jumped up from the sofa.

"Lin Jian was very honest before the age of 14!" Glancing at the nervous Edward, Lin Mo left a sentence and continued to look at the documents in hand.

"Oh! No way!" Sure enough, Edward immediately became nervous. Thinking of the cute and beautiful faces of his daughters, and the boy next door who was always hanging around his house recently, his face had already turned green.The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, Edward finally jumped up from the sofa in Lin Mo's office, muttering "I have to go home", while quickly putting on his coat and walking towards the door of the office.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Mo didn't look at him again.

At the same time, Lin Jian was staring at an "acquaintance" in the logistics department.

This acquaintance is Xia Lifenna, looking at the person sitting on the seat holding a cup of coffee but focusing on the report.Lin Jian pursed her lower lip before walking into Charifna's office.If she remembers correctly, when she came here last month to ask why her fleet gunnery training funding was not approved, someone else was sitting in this seat.

"Dangdang." Lin Jian knocked on the open office door.

Xia Lifenna, who was sitting behind a pile of messy materials, raised her head, looked at Lin Jian with a dull gaze for a few seconds, then stood up suddenly, and saluted without saying a word.

Lin Jian returned the salute casually, and saw clearly the epaulets on her shoulders, the title of major.She actually has the same military rank as Chen Jinglan and Morris, who have made military exploits!Lin Jian was a little surprised.However, she was not the kind of person who would be curious about such things, so after the other party put her hand down, she said straightforwardly: "My logistics supply officer told me that this time it will appear next year when the Manchila Shipyard is put into production. Compared with other fleets, the number of new warships allocated to the Eighth Fleet is relatively small. May I ask why?"

"I thought you'd at least ask why I'm here!" Charifenne seemed to be freed from her work status, returning to her former self, and said with a cynical smile.After seeing Lin Jian raise her eyebrows, she could only spread her hands to express her helplessness: "This is an order from the head of the Logistics Command, and I am just a small person who makes reports according to the order."

"You should at least know why your minister made such, um, an unpleasant decision." Lin Jian didn't let her fool her around, but pulled a chair and sat in front of Charifenna's desk. Next, she glanced at her desk, the level of clutter was simply unbearable to look at.

"Well, what a stupid thing to be tidy in form." Charifna didn't care about Lin Jian's gaze at all. Seeing that the other party was not dismissed by herself, she could only sit back on her seat, took a deep breath and began to explain The Minister's decision: "The number of this batch of new warships put into production is [-]. Due to the limitation of materials, it is not possible to configure the entire army at present, and only parts of them can be replaced. Originally, it was also given to His Majesty's relatives. A thousand ships will be assigned to the Guard Fleet, but His Majesty the Emperor believes that the Space Fleet should be considered first, so all eight fleets will be allocated to you."

"Get to the point!" Lin Jian knocked on the table, "I just want to know why it's not distributed equally."

"Because in the next year, only the First Fleet and Eighth Fleet will not have official combat missions." Seeing Lin Jian's straightforward question, Charifana lost face: "The First Fleet is responsible for defending the capital galaxy, and The capital galaxy will not be attacked next year. Even if the alliance and the federation start to deal with the empire now, it will take a year and a half to reach the capital star through the front fortress and space fleet. From the second to the The Seventh Fleet already has a clear dispatch mission. So this time the new warships are mainly equipped for these six fleets, not only to enhance the defense capabilities of these fleets, but also to obtain actual combat parameters. "

"So those six fleets can all get [-] new warships, while my fleet only has [-]?" Lin Jian sneered. It wasn't her intention that she couldn't go out for actual combat. Although the reason from the logistics department sounded reasonable Stop, but it doesn't mean that Lin Jian can accept this result.Not only did he get nothing in combat experience, but he was also exploited in terms of supplies, which made Lin Jian very angry.

You must know that small-scale battles or frictions, casualties are very rare for regular space fleets with combat deployment and tight armor protection.But it is not discounted for fleet drill formation and increasing novice operation experience.Only by gradually growing up in small battles can you deal with enemies who are evenly matched or even surpass you.

In Lin Jian's Eighth Fleet, less than [-]% of the veterans who participated in the Sina Delana battle are now less than [-]%.In addition to a small number of recruited rebel soldiers, nearly [-]% of the soldiers and officers are recruits who have just graduated from school or have just been called into the army this year.In this situation, except for the First Fleet, which was led by General Eugene and had almost no damage in the Battle of Sina Delana.The situation of the other fleets is similar, but the other fleets will get a lot of training in the next year, while her Eighth Fleet can only conduct small-scale exercises in the airspace outside the military port.

Lin Jianben planned to talk to Lin Mo about this matter, but that happened again that night, which made her not want to see Lin Mo for the time being. Thinking of this, Lin Jian looked at Charifna.

"How much does this new type of warship cost?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Jian's question surprised Xia Lifenna, but even though she was surprised, it was not a confidential question. After a little thought, Xia Lifanna answered very simply: "Because of the new shell material, This kind of battleship is generally 3000% higher than the consumption cost of a battleship. About [-] million Imperial Marks a piece!"

"What about the materials? What kind of materials are used in this new type of warship?" Lin Jian continued to ask.

"This is confidential information." Charifenna raised her eyebrows and replied, but at this moment, she couldn't help but began to show some expression on her face, and Lin Jian caught this very keenly.

"Come on. After I got the battleship, do you think I can't measure what kind of material is used in the external structure? The technical aspects may be kept secret, but there is nothing to keep secret about materials that can be understood as soon as you detect them. You Since I am in charge of this part, I must be very clear about it. If you have any good suggestions, you might as well speak up. I have the right to make decisions about this fleet!" Lin Jian smiled lightly and said.

"I can't tell you the name of this material for the time being, after all, it is a regulation of the military department. However, I can contact the material provider for Duke Molinbeck to build his private fleet, and the price will naturally be cheaper than the one submitted to the military department Some. Your Excellency the Duke can order the Molinebeck Shipyard to use this new type of material. After all, although the Molinebeck Shipyard manufactures more ships for civilian use, it also provides official warships for the military.” Charifna Looking at Lin Jian with a smile, he continued: "And I need to get a part of the commission. Regarding my suggestion, Your Excellency, what do you think?"

Charifana deliberately did not mention Lin Jian's military position, but referred to his noble title, and attributed the possible warships to Lin Jian's private army. This was an evasion made according to the law, which neither violated the law nor violated military discipline.And she was able to be such a confident supplier of guaranteed materials, which is really quite capable.

After thinking about it, Lin Jian said that he needed his logistics supply officer to make an assessment, so he couldn't reply to Xia Lifenna at this time.Lin Jian, who had solved the problem, would naturally not stay in the logistics department anymore. After expressing that he would contact Charifina soon, he strode away from the office building of the logistics department.
