In the study, under the bright light, Lu Ming took the letter he had just written to Sister Windsor on the table, pondered for a while, felt that some words needed to be changed, so he took out a piece of snow-white letter paper and rewrote it.
This afternoon, I received a secret telegram from Governor Chuckson.
The secret telegram said that the 325th Division was seriously overstaffed, and some people had even complained to the imperial capital. Therefore, he planned to submit a report on the chaos in the Northern Territory to the imperial capital, and based on this, request the military to grant Jiangning another border defense division number. In this way, the 325th Division would be divided into two, solving the problem of overstaffing that had been questioned and criticized, but both the 325th Division and the new border defense division would be under the command of the Black Mountain Camp.
Governor Chuckson asked for his opinion.
But he has already put forward the plan, so the so-called inquiry is a kind of notification.
It goes without saying that it is impossible for Governor Chuckson to support him unconditionally forever.
Maybe someone has been whispering too much in his ears, but no matter what, what he needs to do now is to divide his military power instead of seeing his own family dominate.
The appointment of the new border defense division commander and senior officers was naturally none of his business.
It is said that the new border defense division also belongs to the Black Mountain Camp, but in fact, the Black Mountain Camp is called the Governor's Camp, and he is just the representative of the Governor.
This is human nature. If you remain lukewarm, a team of 10,000 people will just be idling away in Montenegro.
Well, with Sister Windsor and Christine in touch, Governor Chuckson will certainly support and help me.
He even gave his son to himself.
But as his power expanded too quickly and his military strength grew, he naturally began to feel that something was not right, so he wanted to gain real military command. At the very least, he had to check and balance his subordinates and not let one person dominate the market.
This is the habitual thinking of those in power, and Governor Chakson is no exception.
It is true that the 325th Division currently has 8 regiments, but its actual strength has reached 25,000 people, and there is also the Wanzhou Garrison Brigade which is currently incorporating and recruiting new soldiers.
He also mentioned to Governor Chakson that he was confident of getting hold of Gao Baoshan's direct troops, the Nanping Garrison Regiment. His powerful general, Gao Yuhu, was ready to join the light and use this garrison regiment as a basis to reform Gao Baoshan's old subordinates in Nanping and recruit new troops to establish the Nanping Garrison Brigade.
In this way, he will have a division and two brigades under his command.
Governor Chakson's vision is not that broad after all, but what he did is what all superiors would do.
After all, he is his boss, so the safest plan now is to ask for help from Sister Windsor.
Looking at the transcribed secret letter, Lu Ming nodded and called out, "Come."
The study door was gently pushed open and Yu Luan walked in gracefully.
"Send it to the imperial capital right now, using code number 1, urgent, to Madam Hongmei's line." Lu Ming handed the letter to Yu Luan.
Yu Luan nodded, took it with both hands, and left quickly.
Lu Ming picked up another piece of letter on the desk.
It is an official letter sent by Yoshida Masayuki, the Minister of the Kingdom of Japan to Haixi, to the Governor-General of Chakson in Jiangning Province.
In fact, there were no diplomatic envoys such as ministers between the various confederations of the empire, which was not in accordance with the legal system.
However, the relationship between the confederations is loose, so they also send representatives to each other, and even the local leaders of the confederations have foreign affairs representatives.
For example, in the East China Sea, there are representatives sent by some Japanese lords.
However, as the world is in chaos today, Japan has clearly sent an envoy to the Northern Territory.
In his official letter, Minister Yoshida Masayuki expressed strong protest against the Black Mountain Corps' attack on Wanzhou.
They called it a brutal act of aggression and demanded a reasonable explanation from Governor Chakson.
At the same time, a consul would be sent to Wanzhou, firstly to pay attention to the safety of its overseas Chinese; secondly, to mediate the conflicting parties involved in the Wanzhou War and restore peace.
Lu Ming has been waiting for Haixi Liu Bangchang's reaction, but Liu Bangchang has not made a clear statement yet.
However, judging from Yoshida Masayuki's wording, his prediction was correct. Because the war ended very quickly, the Haixi Army no longer had the right opportunity to intervene. They could only see if they could get something from the negotiation table. After all, their rival was Qi Huaide of the Northern Frontier Province, and they did not want to make enemies on all sides.
While I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the study door and it was gently pushed open. It was Yu Luan.
"Mrs. Red Rose replied that she wanted the master to wait a moment."
Lu Ming nodded. The original mode of power transmission was the most urgent one, that is, it was sent to the radio operator with the highest authority over there, who was the most trusted person of Sister Windsor, similar to Yu Luan beside him. When he received the telegram, he would immediately deliver it to Sister Windsor.
Yuluan went to make tea.
Lu Ming savored it slowly while flipping through the books on the table.
But this wait lasted from evening to midnight, then to early morning, until dawn.
Lu Ming stretched himself and even wrote a lot of things that needed to be supplemented in "Social Theory".
"Master, Madam Hongmei called back." Yu Luan brought two pages of electronic copy paper with codes on them, and started working at the small desk next to her.
A few minutes later, two pages of secret telegrams written in beautiful handwriting were delivered to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was stunned after reading the beginning, and then he continued reading and became more pensive.
But it was Sister Windsor who said that she had obtained the consent of the Grand Prince, and the Cabinet and the military department approved by the Grand Emperor were authorized as follows:
The three cities of Heishan, Jingyang and Longhe in Jiangning Province and Nanping Road and Wanzhou Road in Longbei Province were divided into the Heishan Special Autonomous Region.
Lu Ming, commander of the 325th Division, was appointed supervisor of the Montenegro Special District Headquarters and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general and the title of Montenegro General.
The Heishan Headquarters also supervises the security of the Heilongjiang waters.
The 325th Division and the Wanzhou Garrison Brigade were reorganized into the 325th Border Guard Corps with a total strength of 30,000 troops, with Lu Ming as the corps commander.
The regulations of the various units of the 325th Army were to be made at the discretion of Corps Commander Lu Ming and reported to the Imperial Military Department for approval.
Lu Ming looked at the secret message. It contained too much information and he needed to digest it carefully.
The so-called great emperor is naturally the eldest prince.
However, he also claimed to be the emperor of the empire in the Kingdom of Sofia, and the second prince also called himself the emperor of the empire.
As for his promotion to the rank of lieutenant general, in fact, from the perspective of the empire, it was not very high. After all, there were also generals, and from one-star generals to five-star generals, and there was even the rank of imperial marshal before.
But that is at the level of the Imperial Federation. From a local perspective, admiral is the highest military rank.
As for the title of Montenegrin General, it was unprecedented in the empire. There were only Duke, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. In addition, dukes were divided into grand dukes and ordinary dukes.
Things are really chaotic nowadays, the new emperor can even create his own title.
Commander of the Legion, you have the final say on how to reorganize the internal affairs and what is convenient for you.
It is probably rare for the eldest prince to ask Sister Windsor for help. Moreover, the Northern Territory is a place that the eldest prince has probably never heard of and in his eyes is a barren place. So, he will take the opportunity to exercise the power of the emperor and kill two birds with one stone.
You have to know that the Windsor Sisters Group supports Her Royal Highness the Princess. The eldest prince must be well aware of this and took the opportunity to win them over.
It seemed that Sister Windsor had come to see him overnight.
However, there are big problems with the eldest prince's decree.
Originally, no one in the northern states and provinces had made a clear statement on the dispute over the great emperor, let alone the four provinces in the northern region.
Moreover, even if he was truly the great emperor that everyone expected, if he wanted to change the administrative divisions between the confederations and include Nanping Road and Wanzhou Road into the new administrative regions, he would need the consent of the confederation to which the areas belonged, that is, the consent of the Longbei Province and the approval of the Imperial Parliament.
These steps are naturally not available today.
Therefore, designating Nanping Road, Wanzhou Road and Heishan City as special zones will inevitably cause uproar in the north.
Fortunately, at the end of the telegram, Sister Windsor said that in a few days, when the official document is delivered from the imperial capital, there will be two copies, and the secret document given to her will be what is said in the telegram.
However, the official document sent to Jiangning Province for public disclosure did not contain any instructions to incorporate Nanping Road and Wanzhou Road into the Heishan Special Zone.
The Heishan Special Zone only includes the three cities of Heishan, Jingyang and Longhe which are nominally under the jurisdiction of the current Heishan Headquarters.
The rest remains unchanged.
The Montenegro Headquarters will still supervise the water security of the Heilongjiang River.
And that secret document may be useful to you in the future.
Moreover, supervising the water security of the Heilongjiang River requires a lot of knowledge, which you, my brother, will certainly understand.
Finally, it was Sister Windsor who praised her repeatedly. Obviously, the small situation she had created here far exceeded her expectations and made her very excited. This was probably the reason why she worked hard for herself all night.
After reading the telegram several times from beginning to end and making sure that he had understood it correctly, Lu Ming handed it to Yu Luan.
Yu Luan took the disc, burned the secret electricity and soaked the black ash with water, so that no technical means could restore it.
"Take a nap!" Lu Ming smiled and stood up, then asked, "Is Fifteen asleep?"
"It seems so..." Yu Luan said in a low voice.
Lu Ming nodded. As long as he was around, Jennifer would wait for him to kiss her forehead and say good night before going to bed. Only then would the little one go to sleep obediently. She was so busy today that she forgot about it.
This is Cheng Dasui’s newly built villa, a magnificent garden-style building located in the suburbs of Wanzhou.
Before he had the chance to move in, he got to try the new food himself.
Although he should go back to Montenegro tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he likes this manor very much and has already bought it, and the money has gone into the Wanzhou Road Treasury.
Stretching lazily and walking in the corridor, Lu Ming suddenly stopped and saw that the light in Jennifer's bedroom next to him seemed to be still on.
Lu Ming made a gesture to Qing'e who was standing beside the door, and Qing'e bowed and stepped back.
When I pushed the door open, the unique fragrance of a young girl lingered in the air.
The room is filled with lace and rag doll elements. You can vaguely see a gorgeous princess bed that looks like something out of a fairy tale world. Jennifer is sleeping, and she seems to be well-behaved, lying very straight. On both sides of her snow-white lace pillow, there is a fluffy little bear.
Lu Ming took two steps forward and gently opened the snow-white curtain. Looking at Jennifer's beautiful and lovely chocolate-colored long hair scattered on the snow pillow and her pretty little face with a high snow-white nose, his heart softened. He leaned over and gently kissed her on the forehead.
Just as I was about to leave, I saw Jennifer rubbing against the pillow, murmuring dreamily, "Honey, good night..."
Lu Ming smiled and couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead again, "Little lazy pig..." He knew in his heart that this title could never be given to Jennifer. Her life could be very regular, but when she was with him, she would wait for him to kiss her goodnight, so sometimes she would disrupt her original schedule. It was he who affected the little girl's extremely self-disciplined life.
"Oh... are you done..." Jennifer opened her eyes, looking quite happy, with beautiful blue eyes, so pure and innocent that it made people feel distressed.
"Well, you've been waiting for me. Our little Jennifer is the best. She won't fall asleep until I fall asleep." Lu Ming said with a deliberate smile.
Jennifer's face immediately turned red, and she lowered her eyes. "I, I'm not good, I've become bad, I just slept for a while, just a little while..."
Lu Ming laughed out loud. Looking at this cute and well-behaved little girl, he felt so heartbroken for her that he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her on her tender lips.
Jennifer immediately opened her blue eyes wide as if she had received an electric shock, full of disbelief.
Lu Ming's heart seemed to melt. The unique sweet saliva of a young girl in his mouth was not actually fragrant, but it was pure, as pure as a clear spring, making people want to suck it like this until the end of time.
Hmm? Lu Ming's head buzzed when he touched the little tongue. The touch that was so light and then escaped was like suddenly being pierced through all seven orifices of his body. From the hair to the toes, he felt numb. From the corner of his eye, he saw a pair of snow-white lace stockings under the thin blanket, nervously entangled. It was so cute and...
"I'm going to take a shower!" Lu Ming stepped back.
Jennifer's pretty face turned red and she uttered a low "hmm" like a mosquito's buzz. Although she didn't understand anything, she knew that something extremely embarrassing and unknown might happen in a while.
Lu Ming smiled and walked towards the little princess bathroom which was also full of fairy-tale colors. In his heart, he felt as if he was walking on clouds.
