Before the meeting, Ouyang Shuo introduced Du Ruhui to everyone present.
Hearing that Du Ruhui had once held the position of Minister of War, Bai Qi's eyes flashed. Ge Hongliang's heart sank. His premonition was about to come true.
As for the others, they were not qualified to express their opinions.
The meeting officially began, and Ouyang Shuo immediately announced the restructuring plan of the Military Office.
"The Combat Readiness Division has been upgraded to the Combat Readiness Division. Under it are the Blind Combat Readiness Division, the Armor Division, the Archery Division, and the Cavern Military Factory. Other than rations and equipment, the Combat Readiness Division was also responsible for the recruitment and daily training of the territory's reserve forces. Ge Hongliang, the head of the Military Affairs Division, will be transferred to the head of the Combat Readiness Division. The commanders of the three divisions will remain unchanged. "
As soon as Ouyang Shuo finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present became thought-provoking.
On the surface, Ge Hongliang's position did not change, and it was a transfer of the same rank. In fact, in terms of authority, he had become the logistics department head, and his authority had been greatly reduced.
Ge Hongliang's expression did not change. After stepping out of the ranks, he bowed and said, "Yes, Sir!"
When he returned to his seat, Ge Hongliang felt relieved. It was as if a huge stone had finally been lifted off his shoulders. The pressure from the outside world was already too much for him to bear. The Marquis's adjustment actually made him feel a sense of relief.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, and he felt satisfied in his heart when he saw Ge Hongliang's composure.
After disbanding the Supplies Division, the status of the Combat Readiness Division was actually very important. It was related to the survival of the army. If Ge Hongliang didn't know what was important, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't let him stay in this position for long.
Song San and the other two division chiefs saw Ge Hongliang's calm expression, and their hearts were filled with complicated feelings.
It couldn't be said that Ge Hongliang didn't work hard, but there were too many generals in the territorial army, and the pressure of competition was too great. No matter how hard Ge Hongliang worked, he could only abdicate in dejection.
From this, it could be seen that the Marquis's method of selecting talents: the capable ones would be promoted, and the mediocre ones would be relegated.
Thinking of this, Song San and the rest couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten. Since even the director could be replaced, it was only natural that they, the directors, would be replaced one day if they were incompetent.
There was no one who couldn't be replaced. Being in a high position didn't mean that one could always sit back and relax.
Song San was even more flustered. As the territory continued to expand, the external environment of the territory became more and more complex, and the position of the Military Intelligence Division also became more and more important.
The more important the Military Intelligence Bureau was, the more Song Sancai felt like there was a dagger on his back. He was trembling with fear. There was no guarantee that one day the Marquis would remove him as the Director-General.
Ouyang Shuo looked around and continued, "The Combat Readiness Division is subordinate to the Military Affairs Division. At the same time, the Military Affairs Division also has the War Division and the Military Law Division. The Operations Division was responsible for battle planning and command, while the Military Law Division was responsible for enforcing military law. Du Ruhui is now the Director of Military Affairs and Chief of Operations. The position of Chief of Military Justice is temporarily vacant. "
The Director of Military Law, also known as the Supreme Military Judge, required a person who was not afraid of power and was impartial. Shanhai City had yet to find a suitable candidate for the position.
At this point, the Military Affairs Office was in charge of the four core responsibilities of military intelligence, military law, combat, and combat readiness. With Du Ruhui's ability, she should be able to re-establish the authority of the military office in a short time.
General Bai Qi and the Director of Military Affairs, Du Ruhui, were each in charge of a section. Bai Qi was mainly in charge of wartime command and military training, while Du Ruhui was mainly in charge of the military's daily construction and wartime support.
When the dust settled, Song Sancai and the others were happy, but they did not dare to show it.
The Military Affairs Office had been weak for a long time, and they, as director-generals, did not have a firm voice when they spoke. Now that they were replaced with an iron-fisted director, who was experienced, capable, and deeply trusted by the Marquis, it was naturally a great advantage for them as subordinates. In the future, with someone to back them up, they would no longer have to be bullied by the three divisions.
As for the nature of their superiors, they would have to slowly familiarize themselves with them in future work.
Following Du Ruhui's appointment, other than the Director of Finance, Cui Yingyou, the other three directors in the Lian Province Marquis's Residence were all famous historical figures. The lineup could not be said to be weak.
The next day, the Secretary Office notified the various departments of the military of Du Ruhui and Ge Hongliang's appointments.
Ouyang Shuo fully delegated power to Du Ruhui, giving her full responsibility for the establishment of the War Division and the Military Law Division. Du Ruhui had the authority to transfer officers from the military or the military lecture hall that was being established to the Military Affairs Office.
Du Ruhui was also a swift and decisive person. That afternoon, accompanied by Ge Hongliang, she inspected the reserve forces and the four major military workshops. The next day, accompanied by Bai Qi, she went to the three divisions' encampments for an inspection.
On the fourth day of the first month of the second year of Gaia, [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group]'s leader, Black Mamba, was invited to visit Shanhai City.
Black Mamba came in secret and did not bring a single subordinate with him. This former member of the special forces was also a famous figure in real life, but in the game, he was abnormally low-key.
Interstellar migration and "Once Upon a Earth" actually gave everyone a chance to start over. All personal records and interpersonal relationships had to go through a reformatting process.
Black Mamba understood this point, which was why he wanted to lead a group of brothers in the game and use the platform of "Once Upon a Earth" to complete a gorgeous transformation and metamorphosis.
Transforming and starting over was not an easy task. Although Black Mamba had done a lot of preparatory work, he still lacked an opportunity, or rather, a lever.
Ouyang Shuo took the initiative to extend an olive branch, and it was precisely the opportunity that Black Mamba had been searching for.
The two of them hit it off immediately.
As the cooperation between Shanhai City and [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group] deepened, Ouyang Shuo and Black Mamba's personal relationship also deepened. The two of them were no longer limited to a cooperative partnership.
The 500 strong crossbows that Ouyang Shuo had promised had all been handed over to the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group] ahead of time, causing the strength of the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group] to greatly increase. They had recently done a few large transactions, and their harvest was quite plentiful.
Black Mamba remembered Ouyang Shuo's goodwill in his heart.
Black Mamba's personality was somewhat similar to that of a Siege Lion, rough with a sense of delicacy.
The difference was that the Siege Lion already had some chuunibyou tendencies, walking further and further on the path of courting death. It was really hard on Ju Sheng, who had to constantly clean up his master's mess.
Black Mamba was different. Bold and meticulous, cold-blooded and warm. Four completely different personalities perfectly fused in him. He was willing to sacrifice himself for his brothers, but against his enemies, he was cold-blooded and merciless.
The location of the meeting was arranged at Ouyang Shuo's study.
As they chatted, the two of them appeared to be very casual.
"I heard that in this auction, brother, you were the champion again!" Black Mamba teased.
Ouyang Shuo laughed. "Heh, I was almost defeated by someone. The capital is not peaceful!"
Black Mamba's eyes narrowed. "Brother, are you talking about the assassination?! I've heard about it too, but the rumors outside are all over the place. There are all kinds of rumors. Can you tell me what exactly happened? "
"It was done by [Blood Blade]."
"[Blood Blade]?" Black Mamba frowned. He had no impression of them at all.
"Not to mention you, I also found out about their existence by accident." Ouyang Shuo lied and continued, "Speaking of which, they can be considered as half of the same profession as you, Old Black."
"Why do you say that?" Black Mamba unconsciously sat up straight.
As the saying goes, people of the same profession are enemies. Black Mamba had no choice but to take it seriously.
"Have you heard of [Remnant Flower]?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"[Remnant Flower]? The most mysterious assassin organization in reality? Could it be that they are [Blood Blade]? " Black Mamba seemed a little agitated. His tone unconsciously sped up, and he asked one question after another.
"That's right, it's them!"
"No wonder!" Black Mamba let out a long sigh. "If it's them, then it's not strange at all. The way they do things is exactly the same."
Speaking up to this point, Black Mamba looked at Ouyang Shuo with a complicated expression. He said in admiration, "Brother's identity really makes me curious. No matter if it's us or [Remnant Flower], we can't escape your discerning eyes. "In reality, Black Mamba's heart was not as calm as it looked on the surface.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and did not say anything.
He did not have any mysterious background. He was just relying on the advantage of being reborn. He would not explain this to Black Mamba, even if the two of them were already friends.
Many times, maintaining a sense of mystery was in itself a pretty good trump card.
If this trump card was played well, it would make your enemies fear you. When dealing with you, their hands and feet would be tied. At the same time, it would make your friends revere you even more. When they want to betray you, there would be an additional layer of worry.
Since it was like this, how could Ouyang Shuo easily reveal this trump card. The betrayal he had experienced in his previous life had long made him have a heart of stone. He would not completely trust a person again.
Ouyang Shuo remembered that someone had once said: If you don't want to be betrayed by the people around you, the best way is to make the people around you unable to find the opportunity or reason to betray you.
Ouyang Shuo deeply agreed.
"If [Blood Blade] is [Remnant Flower], then it really is a bit difficult." Black Mamba lightly brushed over it, no longer bringing up the previous topic. Of course, he understood that everyone had their own secrets. If he wanted to maintain a long lasting friendship, he would not easily touch upon the other party's secrets.
"In reality, have you had any dealings with them?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"We really have." Black Mamba said with a bitter smile. "That time, we were carrying out an escort mission. In the end, the target we were escorting was the target that [Remnant Flower] wanted to assassinate."
"You fought with them?"
"What else could it be?" The Black Mamba Snake spread out his hands and smiled bitterly. Even now, he still had lingering fear in his heart when he thought of that tragic confrontation. "That time, we sacrificed more than 30 of our brothers. In the end, we were still unable to protect our target." That was also one of Rattlesnake's few experiences of failure.
Ouyang Shuo nodded his head. He only knew the name [Remnant Flower]. He did not have any concrete impressions. Hearing Black Mamba's words, his mood could not help but be somewhat heavy.
Even the famous rattlesnake had fallen in the hands of [Remnant Flower]. The opponent was indeed extraordinary. (To be continued.)
