Conference room in Building No. 1 of the Military Control Committee and Administrative Office of Montenegro City.
All the military control committee members in Montenegro have arrived and are holding a meeting.
Among them, eight military representatives, Lu Ming, Hu Dingshan, Chief of Staff Cheng Wei, Zhao Jingxun, Executive Director of the Military-Civilian Joint Conference and Director of the Inspection Office, Mao Dingyuan, Commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, Zheng Xiaoming, Commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, Liu Kun, Commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, and Shi Dayong, commander of the newly expanded independent regiment, have just been added to the Military Control Commission.
There were originally seven administrative officials, but Pamela, one of the two deputy commissioners of the administrative office, was absent. There were five people present, including Commissioner Xia Liren of the administrative office, Deputy Commissioner Li Heng of the administrative office, and the heads of the three bureaus.
The province has three departments, and the city has three bureaus, namely the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Finance Bureau and the Law Bureau.
In addition, Montenegro has a Mining Administration Bureau, whose director is also at the level of deputy commissioner of the administrative office and is also listed as a senior official. The current director is Zhu Datong.
The Chief Justice of the Montenegrin Court, Sharif, also attended the meeting as a special observer of the Military Control Commission.
Several issues have just been discussed.
Because the military has discovered the "North-South Peace and Co-Prosperity Alliance", a rebel organization that has been lurking for many years and colluding with foreign forces, the military and police are now searching for its members in Montenegro and neighboring cities and counties. Therefore, the agenda of this meeting is completely dominated by the military.
The next topic is to reduce the administrative expenses of the Montenegro Administration and the Montenegro Mining Bureau, and to increase the allocation of special funds from the Montenegro Mining Bureau as military expenses.
It is not really an issue. The general framework has already received support from senior provincial officials and it is now more like a notification.
Originally, the Montenegro Brigade's military expenditure was 3 million yuan per year, with 2 million yuan allocated by the province each year and the Montenegro Mining Bureau allocating a special fund of 1 million yuan each year.
The news of the civil war that broke out on the western front of the imperial capital has now spread to the five provinces south of the Yangtze River. Except for Jiangning, the other four provinces have experienced riots of varying degrees.
Although Jiangning is relatively stable, it has discovered dangerous organizations such as the "North-South Alliance".
Several more cities were added to the areas under military control in Jiangning Province.
However, when the Black Mountain Brigade was formed, it was formed by disbanding the security regiments of several cities in Jiangning Province.
The Black Mountain Brigade was originally the military force in the western region of Jiangning Province, which was concentrated together. Now the neighboring areas are under military control but the military force is insufficient. The Second and Third Regiments will be mobilized to the relevant areas to provide assistance.
The proposal to expand the Black Mountain Brigade by adding an independent regiment has also been approved by Governor Chakson. The benefit now is that these changes do not need to be reported to the imperial capital.
The new proposal is to increase the military expenditure of the Montenegro Brigade by another 4 million yuan each year, of which the province will allocate 1 million yuan, and the Montenegro departments and the Montenegro Mining Bureau will drastically cut administrative expenditures, and the Montenegro Mining Bureau will allocate another 3 million yuan.
Looking at this proposal, the administrative officials looked at each other, and Zhu Datong's face was extremely ugly.
The 3 million yuan of funds to be allocated, in addition to replacing the part that has to be remitted, actually includes more than 2 million yuan to be paid by cutting the administrative expenses of the Montenegro Administrative Office and the Montenegro Mining Bureau, and most of it is to cut the funds of the Montenegro Mining Bureau.
The government offices, which were originally heavily dependent on oil and water, not only have to lay off employees, but will also have to tighten their belts and live frugally in the future.
Moreover, it is obvious that the proposer of this plan has a deep understanding of the financial situation of the Montenegro Mining Bureau and is definitely not making up his mind. According to his plan, the Montenegro Mining Bureau can save a lot of administrative expenses and it will not affect the operation of the agency.
Zhu Datong gritted his teeth secretly. He had gotten such a lucrative job and thought that his life was perfect. However, he had been plagued by misfortunes since he took office. Now, he had to carry out this plan himself. He had no idea how many people he would offend, how many people's financial resources would be cut off, and how many hidden rules would be broken. He might even be assassinated.
All of this was caused by Lu Ming, and his brother-in-law was arrested by him and has not been released yet.
I asked the military several times, and they only allowed the lawyer to meet with my brother-in-law. However, it seems that the case will be brought to a military court, and under the current circumstances, the trial is nowhere in sight.
"Commissioner Lu, although the new independent regiment is a reinforced regiment and has 5,000 people, there is no need to double the military expenses, right?" Zhu Datong spread his hands. "Although the situation is suddenly chaotic, civil affairs should not be abandoned. What do you think?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "The reduction of 1.5 to 6 million yuan in administrative expenses for the Black Mountain Mining Bureau will not affect the operation of your bureau, right? If you find it difficult, the Military Control Commission can set up a new bureau to handle the affairs of your Mining Bureau. I think a staff of 20 to 30 people can do a good job. For example, an inspection team is not needed at all. The local military and police can provide support when the time comes."
"Your inspection teams have only a few hundred people, and their salaries are high. This part of the salary is more than 200,000 yuan a year. Don't you have other redundant staff? I think there are many. In addition, your administrative expenses are too many. For example, where does the annual mining assistance fund of 800,000 yuan go? I have contact with many small mine owners, and they have never heard of such a special fund."
Lu Ming looked at Zhu Datong, "How about this, Director Zhu, I will send someone to assist you. After all, you are new to the position, and it seems that this rectification will be quite difficult for you. Under the current situation, our administrative agencies must not cause any more trouble." As he spoke, he looked at Hu Dingshan, "Dingshan, let's choose someone to help Director Zhu."
Hu Dingshan nodded with a smile, with some satisfaction in his eyes. After all, it was Zhu Datong who took away his position as director of mining.
Zhu Datong's face turned red and he was speechless for a moment.
No one else said anything. Zhu Datong was obviously asking for trouble. This proposal was actually a trick to pass the Military Control Commission to rectify the Black Mountain Mining Bureau. It received support from the provincial capital. You have to resist in vain? Now, the affairs of the bureau may be directly interfered with.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, let's move on to the next topic."
The meeting room was filled with the sound of flipping papers, and no one had any objections.
Sharif, who was sitting in the corner, watched this scene and sighed in his heart. He always felt that this young man was capable. He had stood on his side in the lawsuit with the Mining Bureau. But he had never thought that in less than a year, by chance, he would become the number one figure in the entire Montenegrin military and political affairs. He could only say that he might have underestimated him. He was amazing.

Apartments for senior officers at the Montenegrin Brigade base.
In the living room, opposite Lu Ming, sat Shi Dayong and his wife.
Shi Dayong is newly married. His wife Liu Xinqin is a gentle and beautiful woman. She wears a light purple cheongsam and looks very elegant and decent.
Moreover, Liu Xinqin is a college graduate.
Shi Dayong is Shi Tou, one of the founding fathers of United Matrix.
The newly formed independent regiment is actually the elite force of the joint matrix.
After feeling that he could control the Black Mountain Brigade and there happened to be an opportunity to expand the army, then, it was the best choice to select the backbone forces of this force that truly belonged to him to come to Black Mountain to protect the Kyushu Steel under construction. At the same time, it could also greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Black Mountain Brigade.
At the same time, it relies on external forces to provide equipment and sufficient military funds for its armed forces.
Looking at Shi Dayong and his wife, Lu Ming was somewhat emotional: "Shi Tou, I haven't seen you for a long time. I still remember you, little Renault An. You made great efforts. The night we celebrated, you and I both drank too much! Now, we have all changed, and it seems that the world is also going to change!"
Shi Dayong looked at Lu Ming with admiration and gratitude, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
He was originally just a homeless mercenary and a bachelor in his thirties, but because he followed the right boss, his fate changed step by step.
Apart from anything else, I never would have dared to imagine two years ago that I could find a beautiful college student who adores and loves me as my wife.
Although the boss is young, Big Head, Catfish, and even himself, these veterans, all have a vague feeling that if they follow him, their lives may become more exciting.
It’s like those famous generals in operas finally met their wise leaders.
Of course, I can't say that I am a famous general. I can only die for my friend. I have to leave my life to my master.
Over there, Lu Ming smiled and said, "You got married too hastily. I couldn't get away and couldn't attend..."
Shi Dayong smiled bitterly: "The boss gave too much as a gift."
It was the first time that Liu Xinqin saw the "boss" her husband had been talking about. She had been secretly and curiously looking at Lu Ming, and whispered, "I was so scared at the time, I thought what was going on..."
The gift from the "boss" turned out to be a check for one million yuan. Liu Xinqin was really scared at the time.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It only happens once in a lifetime, so what's the difference? Big Head, Old Catfish, and you are all treated the same."
"This is what you deserve. The idea that inequality is more of a problem than a lack of wealth is unacceptable."
"Let's just say you're worried, Shitou. The entire Black Mountain Brigade has a military budget of 7 million, but the old unit has 12,000 people and 3 million, while the independent regiment has 5,000 people and 4 million. You don't have to worry about others getting jealous, but that's not the case."
"Your equipment is different and your expenses are higher. If a war really breaks out, you will also take on the most important combat missions. It is reasonable for your military expenditure to be higher."
Shi Dayong listened and nodded silently.
The independent regiment was indeed well-equipped. It even had a new branch of the military proposed by the boss himself, called the Army Aviation Corps. It had a battalion equipped with 12 helicopters, including two armed helicopters that had just been produced by the Sanmai Company.
"It's time to eat!" A red cloud floated over, revealing an extremely beautiful face dressed in flowers.
Shi Dayong and Liu Xinqin both stood up: "Sixteenth Lady!"
Liuli smiled and nodded to them, "Okay, come, let's eat!"
This was the first time that Liuli had the opportunity to accompany her master to meet his important subordinates. She was in an extremely happy mood and had a very good attitude. It was the first time that she was so friendly to anyone other than Lu Ming.
Liu Xinqin was surprised that there was such a beauty in the world, but she also curled her lips in her heart. She had never heard her husband talk about his boss's private life. She was curious about how the boss, a young man, had so much power and wealth, so what was his wife like
But I didn't expect that there are already 16 concubines? I think each of them is such a peerless beauty.
The private life of such a big shot of such an unimaginable level is indeed unimaginable to the outside world.
Although my husband's power and wealth cannot compare with my boss', he is at least devoted to me.
Liu Xinqin glanced at her husband who looked a little dull beside her, her eyes full of tenderness.
