Cosma Empire

Not only the lieutenant, but also a captain were the officers who came to invite Durin.

Durin is not "cheaper" than Memnon. After consulting the Ministry of National Defense, the Western Military Region not only gave Memnon treatment in terms of reception staff, but also took care of Durin's emotions. But unfortunately, Du Lin didn't intend to follow their plan.

He called Thomas as early as a week ago, and in addition to congratulating him on becoming the youngest major general of the Imperial Navy, he also asked him to come over to discuss business issues on the East Coast in the New Year.

It was a big problem, at least a big one when it was carried on the shoulders of Major General Thomas. At present, with the recovery of the economy, wages in various places continue to increase, people have more and more money in their pockets, and their ability to consume alcohol is getting stronger and stronger. In the past, people might think it was a bit extravagant to pay 25 cents for a glass of fruit wine, but now paying 35 cents for a glass of fruit wine is not very expensive.

In particular, in order to compete for more markets and sales outlets, the licensees of the Dühring Distillation took the initiative to clean up the "illegal" workshops within their sphere of influence, which further expanded the production volume and output of major wineries. volume. Since the end of last year, Irian's "Island of Fragrance" has shipped more than 800,000 bottles per month, and this year it has once again increased to one million bottles.

In the transportation agreement signed between Duhring and the Navy, the transportation cost was not calculated by space, but by the way of recording pieces. Every time the navy's transport ships pulled a bottle of wine from Illian's small island, Durin would pay them fifty cents for the transportation. One million bottles a month would cost 500,000 yuan in shipping costs, or 6 million yuan a year. This steady income made Thomas a celebrity among the high-level navy. No naval base could not only be self-sufficient, Those who can also support military expenditures to the Navy Headquarters, except for the Illian Naval Base.

In addition, Dulin and Thomas talked about the new business on the phone, which was enough for Thomas to immediately put down everything in his hands and come to see Dulin. He knew that he could become a major general without the help of Dulin. If there is no conflict and the cooperative relationship breaks down, he, a major general, will still be a major general, but he is definitely not a valuable major general, and he may be assigned to some stupid naval base to spend the rest of his life.

"If you have any questions, you can ask here. My friend is seriously injured and should not go elsewhere. If your superior has anything to do, you can ask him to come to me." Major General Thomas glanced at Du Lin, " I'm going to stay here for a few days and I'm not going anywhere!"

After the two officers standing at the door looked at each other, they apologized and left immediately. They had to report the situation here to the headquarters, and the current situation was beyond their capabilities.

After the door was closed, Thomas asked curiously: "Who did you provoke? How dare you assassinate you? Do you need me to do something for you?" At this time, Thomas already had the demeanor of a major general in terms of eyes and tone. Well, he is now in control of the Illian Naval Base, and he is a real general. Even if it is not for a long time, it is enough to cultivate his bearing.

When he saw Du Lin for the first time, he almost picked up the phone and transferred someone from the west coast. No matter who the other party was, he would definitely make that person regret that he was born in this world. During was the most reliable, trustworthy, and friendly partner of the navy. He almost died, and it might affect his future. How could Thomas bear it? Fortunately, Du Lin caressed him, otherwise something big might happen.

Du Lin picked up the polygonal apple on the plate, as if he had seen such an apple in his memory. It is said that the apple can be sold for tens of millions. But he didn't have the slightest interest in the apple, so he put it back and asked Thomas to put the plate aside, "These are small things, I'm still alive, aren't I? I didn't expect the Ministry of Defense to look so closely at the west, so I was a little bit surprised." After a little trouble, I entered the state of military control. So I need someone to help me, and you happen to be the most suitable person,

Meanwhile, I have another business to discuss with you. "

"Let's talk about our new business first..." Dulling made a movement, and Duffer gave instructions to the people in the corridor, and then locked the door behind him. Dulin touched his lips, "You know, I I bought a copper mine. I plan to bring these ores back to Illian for forging, so I need a stable transportation route. In fact, it is more reliable and safer to transport 6 Luck than to ship by sea, but we are friends, right? I would rather spend more A little money, and leave that to my friend, Thomas!"

Thomas was very moved by Durin's words, because he could hear that what Durin said was true. That's right, if you want to transport a large amount of things to Irian in this place in the west, the fastest and safest way is to buy a special train to pull the goods, and it costs about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan at a time. But Du Lin really left this opportunity to him, so Du Lin may have to pay an extra 10,000 to 30,000 yuan every time he transports the same goods!

This is not a small amount of money, and it is precisely because it is not a small amount of money that Thomas was very moved, "Actually...you don't have to do this at all. My current position is very stable, everyone obeys me, and the superiors treat me It's also very good." He looked at Du Lin sincerely, "You have helped me so much, I don't even know how to repay you, and now you want to give me these again, I really don't know what to do. good!"

"Of course that's the way to do it." Dulin sat back with his hands on the bed, Thomas immediately took the initiative to pick up the pillow and folded it in half and put it on Dulin's waist. Dulin thanked and said: "Thomas, I My friend, do you think that the major general is your end point?" Looking at Major General Thomas with a thoughtful expression on his face, Du Lin continued: "If you want me to say, absolutely not. There are lieutenant generals above the major general, and above the lieutenant general There is also the general, and above the general there is the marshal. Thomas, you have just stepped into this class, and you are still at the bottom of this class, and you are still far away from the end!"

"Like what I told you last time, we are friends, so as long as what I'm doing can benefit my friend, I will always think of my friend!" Thomas has gradually revealed a look of listening , Du Lin pointed to the apple, and Duffer picked up a quick one and peeled it up. He was a little thirsty, "This time I will take the goods from the west to Illian, I will definitely not use the train, I will use the sea. You are in the East The coast may already have enough reputation, and you are familiar with many naval bases, but the empire's navy is very large, what about the west coast?"

"This is an opportunity, Thomas. You go and tell the people on the west coast that I will ship from the west in the future, no matter what I ship, it will pass through you and then be shipped by sea through the navy on the west coast and sent to Illian. The price I gave them It’s the same price as I gave you. I’m going to spend money anyway, so why not spend it on something meaningful? A major general is just your start, an admiral, or even a marshal is your goal!”

After Thomas heard it, although he didn't want to admit it, Peng Peng's beating heart had already betrayed himself. Du Lin was right, he was just getting started. If he could maintain a very good relationship with these navies on the west coast, it would be very important for him to advance Will definitely be able to have an absolute impact.

In peacetime when there is no war, the army changes very slowly. In other words, it is a radish and a pit. If a high-level navy general retires, he will nominate the vacant position, and the final screening will be carried out. To be able to decide who will take his place. In this process, the high-level navy will take into account various factors, among which there are three most important points.

The first point is management ability, the second point is business ability, and the third point is personal network.

In fact, even if there is a war and the navy needs to participate in the war, the real commanders on the front line will not be admirals above the general level. Most of them will be responsible for guarding their own naval bases. Responsible for the actual war. Therefore, management ability is very important. How to find those officers with real skills from the base and make them willing to stay in the navy is very important. This is related to the combat effectiveness of a naval base.

The second point is the ability to find money. After losing the military funding from the Ministry of National Defense, the Navy wants to change their outfits. Apart from finding money to change their outfits, it is impossible for anyone to allocate funds to support the Navy’s outfit changes. , their own money may not be enough to change the base in their own jurisdiction, and they are expected to support others? Do not make jokes!

The third point is easy to understand. Only with people can you have money and get things done. This is especially important for the navy that has gone sour. Thomas has touched the last two key points and successfully overcome the difficulties, becoming a typical example of a rear admiral.

If there is a lieutenant general who is about to retire, when the senior management is looking for the new lieutenant general, the assessment scores will be extremely important. In the past, there may have been nepotism or high-ranking naval officials who were promoted by interests, but now they absolutely do not exist. Those who are incompetent have been kicked out long ago, and those who remain are capable people. At this time, if there is also a group of admirals on the west coast supporting Thomas, then he has a high chance of becoming the new vice admiral.

As long as he crosses this threshold, he will be able to form an interest group of his own in the Naval Group, and a naval interest group will be born around the money in the hands of Thomas and Durin!

Du Lin has already heard the rumors that the cabinet intends to cooperate with the Ministry of Defense to re-negotiate with the high-level navy headquarters. This is a good opportunity and the only chance to bring "one's own people" into the high-level military forces!

Thinking that there might be tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions of arms purchases in the future, Du Lin became more eager.
