In the office of the Suppression Headquarters, Ji Fukui was looking at the newspaper handed to him by Commissioner Zhang, which was called "Haixi Forum". There was a piece of news on it that a military vehicle had exploded on the northern foot of the Guishan Mountains on Haixi Jinghai Road, adjacent to Wanzhou Road in Longbei. It was reported that it was an accident and a senior officer named Gao was killed on the spot.
The article is signed and the reporter is named Tian Dabin.
"Is it Gao Changxing?" Ji Fukui shook his head. Is there any need to ask? It must be Gao Changxing.
The negotiations wanted to extradite the bandit leader led by him, but the negotiations reached a deadlock, so Gao Changxing died.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "There are no obstacles to the negotiations now. Restoring peace in this area is just around the corner."
"This Tian Dabin..." Ji Fukui wanted to say something, but Lu Ming waved his hand.
Looking at Ji Fukui, Lu Ming pondered and said, "Next, your Armed Work Department should use the geographical advantage to promote new ideas and the changes in Wanzhou among the people in Jinghaidao and even Haixi in the north, and develop secret organizations. You should sort out your thoughts and think about how to do it."
Ji Fukui nodded. He knew that the secret organization Commissioner Zhang was talking about was completely different from the intelligence system. In fact, it was a secret development of a resistance organization.
"There used to be a Freedom League Party in Haixi, but it was banned and massacred..."
Before Ji Fukui finished speaking, Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "We won't have anything to do with those so-called rebels. We'll just do our own thing."
"I understand." Ji Fukui nodded.
"After the suppression headquarters withdraws, you will take on the responsibility of the Wanzhou Security Committee." Lu Ming looked at him and smiled.
Ji Fukui was startled: "Me?"
Although the Security Committee does not have a deputy chairman, he is ranked relatively low among the several directors and ministers. The most important ones are the directors of the First and Second Departments, that is, the directors of the Intelligence Department and the Operations Department. No matter how they are ranked, he will not be ranked.
"You can do it." Lu Ming smiled: "I have recommended you to General Lu, and he is also very optimistic about you."
"General Lu knows me?" Ji Fukui was surprised and said, then he realized that he had lost his composure and stood up immediately. "I will definitely live up to General Lu's high expectations and will never forget the Commissioner's support!"
Lu Ming made a gesture and Ji Fukui sat down again.
Lu Ming took out another document and said, "Originally, it has not been announced to the public yet, but you can take a look at it first so you can have an idea."
Ji Fukui understood that he would not be able to see this document in his current position. Commissioner Zhang was about to hand over his work, so the things that the chairman could see should also be given to him to see.
He took it solemnly with both hands, opened the letter and read it, his mouth gradually opening wide.
The first is an internal document of the Longbei Provincial Government. The main content is that with the approval of the Military Advisory Council, a special autonomous zone will be established in Xin'an as a free port, which will learn all the administrative and economic systems of the East China Sea region.
There are a lot of contents, in short, the goal is to build Xin'an into the "Little East China Sea" in the northern region.
Of course, it means learning everything from Donghai.
But at the end of the document, the first military governor representative and Xin'an chief municipal commissioner, named Zhang Renhua, was appointed.
According to his brief introduction, he is a scholar. A few years ago, he studied at a university in Donghai. He is also the economic adviser to the governor.
But no matter what, he is the mayor directly appointed by the governor, so this "Little Donghai" is a bit crooked from the root.
"Xin'an, is it going to be returned to Longbei Province?" Ji Fukui asked in surprise.
Xin'an, located on the bank of the Heijiang River, is the throat of the north-south railway trunk line. Originally there was the Jiangnan Concession, which was under the jurisdiction of Nanping Road, but its prosperity was no less than that of the provincial capital of Longbei.
Such an important city is returned to Ren Zhonglin
Lu Ming smiled slightly, "Look down."
Ji Fukui picked up the second document, looked at it for a few seconds, and his eyes widened like eggs.
It was a letter of appointment signed by Ren Zhonglin, the governor of Longbei, appointing Lu Ming, the Black Mountain general of the Kingdom of Greifanni, as an advisory member of the Longbei Provincial Advisory Council and the director of the Northern Black Mountain Headquarters.
Behind the letter of appointment was another document with the seal of the Longbei Administrative Office and the seal of the governor-general. The main content was to establish the Beiheishan Special Autonomous Region, manage the Nanping and Wanzhou regions with the administrative office, and appoint a governor to be in charge of military and political affairs.
Ji Fukui was surprised at first, but gradually he came to his senses. This was consistent with the appointment of General Lu from the imperial capital.
The Montenegro Special Zone of the Special Economic Zone Liaison Committee of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior originally included Nanping Road and Wanzhou Road.
Today, Ren Zhonglin has legally acknowledged this, but he does not acknowledge that the two roads belong to the Kingdom of Griffinni.
In this way, General Lu was both the governor of the Black Mountain Headquarters of the kingdom and the governor of the Northern Black Mountain Headquarters of the Longbei Province.
But the three major areas under its management are Heishan Autonomous Region, Wanzhou Road and Nanping Road.
Moreover, the northern region is vast. The Heishan Autonomous Region and Wanzhou and Nanping are almost the same size. The three together are half the size of Jiangning Province.
Wanzhou Road plus Nanping Road is almost one-third the size of Jiangning Province.
But Wanzhou and Nanping accounted for only one eighth of the territory of Longbei Province.
There are a total of fifteen provinces in Longbei Province.
Ji Fukui understood that this was equivalent to handing over the management rights of Xin'an to Ren Zhonglin for direct jurisdiction, and obtaining Ren Zhonglin's approval of General Lu's legal authority to manage Nanping and Wanzhou.
"Okay." Lu Ming smiled and gestured.
Ji Fukui quickly put the document away and handed it back with both hands.
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Fukui asked, "Commissioner, I'm sure you've been promoted, right?"
Lu Ming smiled slightly: "Actually, I've been feeling quite tired lately. I really want to take a break for a while, go to school for further studies, and recharge myself, but it seems that this is not going to work."
Ji Fukui smiled and said, "You're joking. How can we leave you in all these aspects?"
Lu Ming smiled but said nothing. Seeing this, Ji Fukui stood up and said goodbye.
Lu Ming picked up the letter and read it again.
For Ren Zhonglin, admitting that he legally managed Nanping and Wanzhou was actually not a difficult decision.
After all, the Heishan system in the eastern part of Longbei can help contain the highly aggressive Haixi people.
Moreover, the Montenegrin group actually controlled these two roads.
Ren Zhonglin probably doesn't have the ambition to dominate the Northern Territory now, mainly because he lacks the strength.
Being able to survive in Longbei is his strategy at this stage. Now I have nominally become his subordinate.
In his view, he and the Montenegrin Legion are naturally a double-edged sword. If used well, they will be his strong support, but if used poorly, they will become a serious threat to him.
But in general, people from Jiangnan, especially those from Donghai, have always been promoting the rule of law and an open-minded place.
In terms of behavior, they have more rules and principles than the warlords in the Northern Territory. Such allies are rare in the Northern Territory.
Although he and I have never met, we have exchanged more than a dozen letters. From the letters, he should have known me better.
Not to mention, they are partners in running a bank together.
So now, he has finally made up his mind and formally accepted me as his military and political ally.
Moreover, if Xin'an can really run it into a small Donghai, his strength will be greatly enhanced.
He was also very courteous to himself. The Longbei Military Governor's Advisory Council was actually the real decision-making body in Longbei. There were only more than ten advisory members, who were either his senior advisers or powerful figures. Sun Gan was also one of the advisory members.
From my own perspective, I feel that Ren Zhonglin is a very gentle person, and I hope that things between him and me will end well for us.
