Listening to the rain.
Outside the open paper window, there is the sound of rain hitting banana leaves. In fact, it is the sound of a clear spring. Due to the special terrain, the spring water is so pleasant to the ear. It is like the effect of ear massage, which is so comfortable that it makes people feel less tired.
Lu Ming was taking a nap on the soft couch. In fact, with Hanzhu lying on his left and Liuli lying on his right, how could he sleep
I was originally chatting with Hanzhu here, but suddenly an idea came to my mind, so I called Liuli.
As expected, Hanzhu is the master and can do whatever he wants. Not to mention Liuli. The things she does to please her master are not something a good human can do. She even suggested that her master change his appearance and forcibly take over the big and small fruits. How can she be a human being
This is the case now. Although Hanzhu is extremely shy and her head is completely buried in Lu Ming's arms, she has no intention of resisting and allows Lu Ming to hold her slender waist. Lu Ming's left foot even penetrates into Hanzhu's pair of delicate feet in brocade stockings and rubs them. Hanzhu is so shy that she dares not even raise her head.
On the other side, Lu Ming did the same thing, but Liuli blew gently into his ear.
Lu Ming's heart was burning for a moment, feeling the different touches of the two beauties' soft waists, and the special charm brought by the two pairs of jade feet that were whiter than frost and snow. Hanzhu was shy, and her jade feet were also dodging the invasion of their owner. But Liuli was different. She even had a pair of soft jade feet that gently clamped Lu Ming's feet, and her jade toes moved slightly, slowly tickling him, as flexible as hands, which made people unable to stop.
The two people reacted differently, but both were equally fascinating.
Just as Lu Ming was feeling distracted and his breathing was becoming heavier, the phone on the table suddenly rang rapidly.
Lu Ming's mind suddenly became clear, and he felt a little helpless, but since the call came in, he had to answer it.
Picking up the microphone and listening to the words inside, Lu Ming suddenly sat up and said, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
…
The Black Mountain military base known as the Octagon.
Military intelligence room.
Colonel and above officers such as Lu Ming and Hu Dingshan were all present.
On the wall hangs a military deployment map of Nanping Road and Wanzhou Road in Longbei Province.
Lu Gaoyi, the head of the Military Intelligence Section, explains the sudden outbreak of war in Jiangbei.
It was Cheng Dasui, the commander of the Wanzhou Road Brigade, who suddenly launched a full-scale war against the territory controlled by Gao Baoshan.
In fact, the two had a very good relationship in the past, and their children were related by marriage. They were also the right-hand men of Ren Zhonglin, the governor of Longbei Province.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Dasui had probably been coveting Gao Baoshan's territory for a long time. After Gao Baoshan's ace armed forces were destroyed, he suddenly launched an attack on Gao Baoshan.
Ren Zhonglin merely sent a telegram to dissuade the movement and did not intervene in any substantive way.
"According to our understanding, Ren Zhonglin should be happy to see this happen, and hopes to regain the province's control over Xin'an after the war," Lu Gaoyi introduced.
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
Xin'an is located at the throat of the south and north of the Yangtze River and is extremely prosperous. The Xin'an Concession is the first stop for investment in the Northern Region. Many large companies investing in the Northern Region have branches here.
In the entire Northern Territory, Xin'an is also one of the top five large cities, no less than the four provincial capitals of the four provinces in the Northern Territory.
Such a treasure trove was controlled by Gao Baoshan.
Ren Zhonglin, the governor of Longbei, must be feeling uncomfortable.
Gao Baoshan and Cheng Dasui seem to be the two right-hand men of the commander-in-chief Ren Zhonglin, but in fact they are two malignant tumors that are difficult to get rid of. If they become strong enough, they will easily devour their master.
Now that the two are competing with each other, Ren Zhonglin is naturally happy to see it happen.
Perhaps what he would like to see most is the two of them fighting to the death, so he finally sent troops to remove their military power.
But Cheng Dasui is no fool.
If one brazenly launches an all-out war, one must have something to rely on.
Lu Gaoyi was talking about this as well. "According to our intelligence, Cheng Dasui is very likely to have received support from the Japanese."
"Cheng Dasui used to be a gangster, right?" Lu Ming asked.
"Yes." Lu Gao clapped his hands, and soon someone pushed away the panel with the military map, and someone pushed in a new one, which contained a summary of the intelligence on Cheng Dasui.
Cheng Dasui was a mountain bandit and a former devil in northern Longnan. Ren Zhonglin tried to wipe him out many times but failed. Finally, he recruited him and appointed him as the governor of Wanzhou and the commander-in-chief of the Wanzhou Security Army.
Gao Baoshan was cruel, but Cheng Dasui was even more cruel, and the people under his rule suffered terribly.
"We should still follow the original pace and send a specialist to negotiate with Gao Baoshan and sign a peace agreement. In addition, we should release those people from the Bureau of Secrets and ask Gao Baoshan to release all those who have fled to the South." Lu Ming looked at Lu Gaoyi, "Especially the people I mentioned."
"Yes!" Lu Gaoyi stood at attention.
Return to the office from the military situation room.
Huang Guirong and Cui Xiaodong were already waiting.
Guangming Law Firm has now moved to Montenegro and has many employees, including seven or eight lawyers.
The so-called Montenegro Law Firm, which was originally an administrative agency, has been dissolved by the Military Control Commission, and the approval of law firms has been relaxed accordingly.
"Mr. Gong's case will go to trial in a few days. After thinking it over, I decided not to participate. You will defend him." Lu Ming took out a document and said, "This is the defense strategy I came up with. Of course, the details will depend on you guys."
The case of Mr. Gong was open to all media and the court arranged a quick date for hearing.
Naturally, it will provide an opportunity for the people of Montenegro and even Jiangning Province to have a big discussion, which will greatly promote their civic awareness.
However, given my special status, it is indeed inappropriate for me to go to court.
This will change the flavor of the eucalyptus, and its direction can be interpreted in any way.
I am confident that I can help Mr. Gong be exempted from actual criminal liability.
The main thing is the series of actions taken by Lao Gong after he came to Longgang.
Compared with most officials in Montenegro, the fact that Lao Gong was sued in court was really a case of injustice that could not be more wronged.
The jury will all be from Longgang. If I were to judge the case myself, the chances of finding him guilty but giving him a suspended sentence or performing community service would be more than 90 percent.
Looking at Huang Guirong and Cui Xiaodong, "If Master Gong is sent to prison, I will be very disappointed in you two."
"Don't worry, boss!" Huang Guirong had dealt with Master Gong several times and had a good impression of him. "If Governor Gong is sentenced, that's unjust. Black crows are fine, so are gray crows an outlier?! Should they die?!"
Lu Ming coughed, it seemed that he was too cold-blooded and ruthless.
But after the matter of Master Gong is settled, I will naturally give him a good ending.
…
I flew from Shili Villa to Heishan at noon, and flew back from Heishan in the evening.
Helicopter commuting is indeed extremely convenient.
After a quick wash, it was just time for dinner.
"I'm going to be busy soon!" Lu Ming sighed softly, "It looks like this year will be a busy year!"
Yu Luan hurried into the restaurant and whispered something in Lu Ming's ear.
"Something happened again! You guys eat first, no need to wait for me." Lu Ming got up and left.
…
Pamela's bedroom in Shili Villa is furnished with Western furniture, a Simmons bed, and has a very fashionable decoration style.
At the desk, Lu Ming was writing something.
I had just arrived at Pamela's bedroom when I received another fax.
The phone call during dinner was from Gao Baoshan formally requesting assistance from the Montenegro Military Control Commission. It seemed that the war was getting a little tense. After all, Cheng Dasui had launched a surprise attack and caught him off guard.
The fax I just received contains the aid terms drafted by the office staff.
After Lu Ming agreed in principle to help Gao Baoshan and proposed some general frameworks, the office staff naturally began to draft the terms in full swing. More than two hours later, the draft treaty was faxed over.
Lu Ming drew on it.
Turning around, he saw Pamela, wearing a red gauze nightgown, sitting next to him. She was blinking her long, charming brown eyelashes, and her beautiful blue eyes were curiously looking at what he was writing.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It seems that the civilized appearance is still very useful. Gao Baoshan chose the lesser of two evils and trusted us to mediate."
"Will the warlord agree to what you said? Even if he agrees, he will just be pretending!" Pamela curled her lips.
The terms were indeed very harsh. Not only did they require Montenegrin investors to be given preferential treatment and super-national treatment, they also required Gao Baoshan to reform the civil service and introduce the legal system.
Lu Ming smiled. In fact, these were all empty words. He was afraid that Gao Baoshan would agree to them readily.
After all, these are all abstract conditions and there is no quantitative standard.
What made Gao Baoshan most hesitant was probably sending military advisers into his army, but this condition was originally intended for him to bargain.
Of course, these cooperation agreements will only take effect after the war is over and Gao Baoshan has not lost much territory with the help of his own side.
"Tomorrow I will go to Jiangning provincial capital to invite Gao Baoshan and Cheng Dasui to Jiangning provincial capital for negotiations. At least Governor Chakson will be the guarantor of their safety. From my point of view, he is not worthy of this weight." Lu Ming said after thinking.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, too. I'm going to Milton State. If I don't go now, if the war breaks out, many things will be too late!" Pamela sighed softly, "I never thought the situation would be so chaotic. I really don't know how many people will die in a war involving tens of thousands of people using cannons and muskets."
Lu Ming was stunned. "Hanzhu will also leave tomorrow. Maybe Bizhu doesn't want to stay here any longer. It's good enough that she can come here for one day during the New Year."
Pamela smiled and said, "Why don't you go and accompany sister Hanzhu? She misses you the most!" She added, "Sister Liuli and I have discussed this and said that it is inconvenient for her to show up here. Xiao Shiwu will stay and accompany you on business trips. You need a wife by your side on many occasions."
Lu Ming said, "Really?" He tried to keep his tone calm and not show anything unusual.
"So, Xiao Shiwu, you will have plenty of time to feel sorry for yourself in the future. I fly back and forth so it's convenient for me to come and see you. You should go and accompany your sister Hanzhu."
Pamela said so, but her half-smile on her face made Lu Ming know that things were not that simple.
In fact, when Lu Ming came to Pamela's place, he originally wanted to call Hanzhu and Liuli to come and see if it was okay.
If we go to Hanzhu's room and ask Pamela to go, she will definitely not go.
But now, facing this hot beauty, no matter how excited he was, he didn't have the courage to suggest calling Hanzhu and Liuli over.
After coughing, Lu Ming laughed dryly and said, "Hanzhu is weak, I can go in the second half of the night..." He felt something was wrong after he finished speaking. Although he thought so in his heart, it sounded distorted when he said it out loud. In front of Pamela and the others, his emotional quotient always seemed to drop to a very low level. There was nothing he could do. Looking at her alluring super S-shaped curve in her red gauze nightgown, and her charming jade feet with sparkling gemstone nails in her small crystal slippers, he was so confused and fascinated that he couldn't think seriously about how to speak.
"What are you talking about!" Pamela snorted, turned around and walked away with a cold face.
With a slight cry of surprise, Lu Ming caught up with her from behind, picked her up by the waist, and her crystal slippers fell to the ground...
The room is full of spring.
