Sibo did not continue to ask.

He has been Yuan Zhicheng's personal adjutant for several months and has basically understood the general's thinking and living habits. Yuan Zhicheng is definitely not a low-key person who allows blackmail and will not fight back, nor will he exchange too much on the issue of interests. Indeed, the importance of energy potions is self-evident, but it has not reached the point where Yuan Zhicheng can bring so many benefits at once. In Sibo's opinion, Su Hao's various requests are simply blackmailing, a false price increase in the business world. But the problem is that Yuan Zhicheng seems to have no idea, and even ignores the process of "bargaining" and directly agrees.

Sibo felt that this kind of negotiation was meaningless, Yuan Zhicheng would not react at all, and Su Hao would not get any profit. But now, from the general's words, he obviously did not just agree verbally, but planned to put it into practice.

"After all, young people are young people, with great ambitions but no sense of the overall situation, they are simply short-sighted."

Yuan Zhicheng's trust in Sibo is far better than others, and he doesn't mind let Sibo know more insider information: "The southwest has always lacked enough combat power to form an independent war zone. This is certainly because the area is sparsely populated and cannot be compared with the north and east. More importantly, the new organization must be approved by the Military Commission and the Joint Staff Meeting before it can enter the actual organization stage. Haha, do you think those guys who are intrigue and stumbling against each other for the sake of an infantry regiment will make this new edition report pass the review?"

Sibo felt that he had grabbed something faintly. He instinctively shook his head: "Of course not."

"You're wrong"

Yuan Zhicheng's old eyes showed a hint of cunning: "I can make a bet with you. The newly compiled report can definitely pass the review. Of course, Zhao Zhikai will definitely object, but he cannot control the ideas of others. Whether it is the Military Commission or the Joint Staff Meeting, it must be conducted by voting in the end. In the face of the final result, personal will is not worth mentioning at all."

Sibo frowned: "Why?"

"The new organization is a whole army with ten combat divisions. From the highest commander to the commanders of each division, chief of staff, and a total of nearly thirty generals. Do you think those guys will give up this fat piece in vain? You know, this is not an "administrative general" or "organ general" in the ordinary sense, but a real power general with troops in his hands."

Yuan Zhicheng smiled faintly: "The southwest region is different from the east and north. It does not belong to Zhao Zhikai's direct line, nor is it a sphere of influence that I can control. Xu Renjie's attitude is still unclear. He is very close to Wang Qinian and has been helping Su Hao, and he is very interested in establishing himself. He will not give up the new Chengdu area, which is painstakingly managed, and other forces will find it difficult to intervene. The best way is to add new troops in the neighboring areas."

"Of course, this approach carries great risks. It is different from the past. Without unified government orders and laws, the social framework is completely collapsed, and the practice of large-scale dispatch of troops will only arouse vigilance and panic among the local garrisons. If troops are dispatched from the north or the east, Xu Renjie will respond immediately and may even trigger armed conflicts. In this way, it will be of no benefit to anyone."

"I don't know why Su Hao chose his current location to build a base city. This may be the result of his conspiracy with Xu Renjie, or he wanted to establish a buffer zone between the two fronts and the southwest direction. The location he chose was very clever, of course, in my opinion, it was indeed the case. He could not only get assistance from the new Chengdu direction, but also connect the Xi'an base with several war zones in the north and east. Su Hao was very bold and wanted to use the energy potion formula as a capital to threaten it to seek more benefits. Then I would meet his requirements and give whatever he wanted. As long as he proposed it, I would give everything. Haha, this kid's courage is obviously not as arrogant as I imagined. He only asked for the rank of major general, not lieutenant general. I originally planned to promote him to general, and the military commissioner was not a false statement. As long as he was willing, it would be a matter of adding a chair in the No. 1 conference room of Jing."

Sibo's face turned slightly pale. He understood what Yuan Zhicheng said: "You, are you using Su Hao?"

"It's not a question of making use of it, at most it's just a matter of taking advantage of the problem."

Yuan Zhicheng pointed out the core of the problem: "I have been thinking about how to change the power comparison in the southwest region, but I cannot install more people through normal channels. Su Hao is a young man. During the Battle of Hefei, I originally thought he would choose the new Nanyang base for development, but I didn't expect that he would lead 300,000 civilians to stage a major retreat. Disobeying military orders has always been a serious crime, but due to the status quo, his prestige and influence among the soldiers, he did not take any further action. Sun Zhan is a very greedy person, and he has always wanted to drag down the food supply.

The 11th Independent Force. Of course, I would not join him in the flow. At most, I would order the troops in the surrounding areas to promote it in the civilian group and let the refugees go to the new Guiyang base by themselves... There is not enough food to satisfy the population consumption, so Su Hao of course needs to find a way to seek help. I originally thought he would look for Wang Qinian or Xu Renjie, but I used the excuse of "supporting the rebels" to decompose their strength step by step. But I didn't expect that Su Hao was the inventor of the energy potion, which saved all kinds of troubles and directly completed the most critical layout."

Sibo finally understood the whole plan, nodded with deep emotion, and said in a very awe-inspiring tone: "General, your ultimate goal is to send someone to replace Su Hao?"

“This world has changed.”

Yuan Zhicheng's old face was full of emotion: "From the moment the virus broke out, it was destined to be a pattern that might be chaotic forever. There will be no country anymore. Everything we have fought for will become nothing in the face of biological warfare. There will be no faith or regional boundaries. There are only two things left in the world - humans and mutated creatures. The result of the war is nothing more than death, no one will retreat, and no one will surrender. Since I am sitting in this position, I must plan for my own people and my relatives. The military headquarters' jurisdiction over each unit is getting weaker and weaker, and it is gradually losing the role of the supreme authority. In fact, Su Hao's actions are not wrong at all. He just went a little earlier. If it was next year, the year after that, I am afraid no one would feel it was inappropriate. Because by that time, many people had broken away from the control of the military headquarters and became independent separatist forces."

"The new Guiyang is a piece of fat. Because Su Hao does not belong to any force. The Academy of Sciences has a transcendent position, but Wang Qinian has no practical power. I am just playing the role of a pusher here. Sun Zhan is eyeing him, and Zhao Zhikai will not allow the southwest region to suddenly increase such a huge military strength. Anyway, we will eventually get practical benefits. As long as food supplies arrive, Su Hao will hand over the energy potion formula. With strong material guarantees, he has the ability to fight back and forth with Sun Zhan and Zhao Zhikai. Building ten combat divisions is not just a verbal word.

It's so simple. Su Hao does not have a complete officer training system, nor does he have enough trustworthy confidants. Hehe, look, ten divisions are not so easy to swallow. As long as the military department reviews and compiles reports, groups of wild wolves will immediately appear around Su Hao. Those guys will bite him to the point of not even leaving his bones. Things like intrigue and killing people to silence them at least last until next year. When these guys jump out one by one, bite each other and are covered in blood. When we are dying, we will send our own people... At that time, everything will be taken back with the capital and the interests."

Sibo did not continue to ask questions, nor did he stand on the stance of a friendly person to help Su Hao speak.

There is no connection between him and Su Hao. In Sibo's opinion, his friendship with Su Hao has long been even. In the face of the issue of blood feud of his parents, which has never had room for negotiation, no matter who blocks his way, he will kill him and tear him to pieces.

After thinking for a while, Sibo raised his head and said seriously: "General, I have no intention of questioning your control and insight into the situation. But I always feel that Su Hao still has some secret that we have not yet known."

Yuan Zhicheng was a little surprised. He glanced at Sibo and asked, "What are you referring to?"

"Su Hao's combat ability is very strong. When he is in the new Chengdu base, he can directly fight against General Yuan Hao."

Sibo said coldly and coldly: "This shows that he has at least the fifth-level strengthening power. Even if the military wants to put him in a weak position by inserting people, it will probably not have any effect. Su Hao can completely kill those people, just like he did before to deal with the new chief of staff."

Yuan Zhicheng thought for a few seconds and smiled gently.

"You are right, there is indeed such a possibility. However, this situation falls within the controllable range. Even the fifth-level power is only personal ability. There are many ways to solve it. At worst, just kill him."

This explanation is obviously difficult to accept by Sibo. He asked almost stubbornly: "What should we do if Su Hao has more power than the fifth strengthening stage? That means no one is his opponent. This is not impossible. Behind Su Hao is Wang Qinian, the Academy of Sciences has a very good research ability..."

"The situation you said is simply impossible to happen———"

Yuan Zhicheng smiled and waved his hand: "If the Academy of Sciences really had the ability to develop a potion that surpassed the fifth-level strengthening ability, then the world would not be like this. Of course, Su Hao could indeed gain extremely powerful power in a specific environment due to certain unexpected factors without taking the potion. If such a thing really happened, he would not be able to use his own power."

Sibo was stunned and then asked: "Why?"

"Because Su Hao at that time no longer belonged to a strengthening person, but an evolutionary person."

Yuan Zhicheng stood up from the chair, walked to Sibo, patted his shoulder hard, and said seriously: "Evolutionary people will never exist in this world. As long as they appear, they mean they must leave forever.

It doesn't take much time to fly from New Lanzhou to Beijing No. 1 Base. In fact, with Yuan Zhicheng's identity and status, he can attend the meeting in the New Lanzhou Base through electronic communication. Doing so will obviously save time and effort. However, Yuan Zhicheng obviously prefers to participate in person and face the opposite way of talking with other people in the military.

Under the escort of twenty-four J-45 all-weather fighter jets, Yuan Zhicheng's special plane took off from the New Lanzhou base and soon landed at the Beijing-1 base airport.

Even in peacetime, such a large number of guards is still a luxury that ordinary people can imagine. This level of air guard formation is usually only qualified to be a member. Now, it is just a manifestation of Yuan Zhicheng's private power.

The scale of the Standing Committee of the Military Affairs Council is far less than that of the conferences where all ordinary members participate. However, in the eyes of the Standing Committee members who hold their respective forces, the importance of this regular meeting is indeed more important than other issues. Both Sun Zhan and Zhao Zhikai were shocked by the proposal proposed by Yuan Zhicheng. It is hard for them to imagine that the plan to upgrade the 11th Independent Force to the Group Army and set up a total of ten new combat divisions in the new Guiyang area would be based on Yuan Zhicheng?

Each new division means daily supplies for more than 20,000 officers and soldiers. In addition, the most important thing is to allocate reinforcement potions of different levels of soldiers and officers. Weapons and ammunition, vehicles, heavy equipment, and stations... This includes a series of subsequent issues, and it also involves the issuance of world yuan (blue coins), the actual purchasing power between currency and substances, etc.

A large part of the current combat force organization still uses the old numbers from peace. According to the new organization formulated before the Black Era, an army should have about 200,000 combat troops. But in fact, more than half of the army group cannot do this. Taking the "450" ​​army as an example, it is actually an empty shell with nothing except the number and a few ordinary staff. It has no combat command center, no logistics and administrative departments, no combat divisions under its jurisdiction, and even no commanders and staff.

Similar "empty shell" army has nearly 400 units on the military organization table. If all "non-actual" troops that exist in computer archives are listed on paper, then the military will have more than 100 million combat troops, or even more.

The existence of these "paper troops" is just to facilitate calculations and enable the Joint Staff to quickly produce various data needed to form a troops in a short time when needed. But whether it is the staff who formulated the plan or the generals who made the final decision, it is clear that after the outbreak of the virus, turning the numbers on these tables into combat-capable troops is no longer just an offensive or defensive measure against mutated creatures. More often, it means the actual control of a certain theater commander and the amount of power a certain faction has.

Whether in the eastern or northern defense lines, the basic combat power seemed insufficient. However, Yuan Zhicheng and Zhao Zhikai remained silent on this situation, and only ordered the increase of the number of personnel in the second and third lines to supplement the training camps, and use a large number of new recruits to fill the front-line casualties, rather than adding new combat divisions to strengthen the position and area itself.

They all knew very well that every newly established division would cause a new round of controversy.

Because everyone wants to get benefits from it, they all want to get involved in the newly established troops, and they all want to install their own personnel in it. Especially the division commander and chief of staff, at least at the brigade general level, there are countless pairs of greedy eyes staring at it at any time. Those guys who dream of fighting for power and profit don’t care how much they have, but just get the position regardless of everything. As a division commander, they don’t know how to fight at all, and they can’t even understand tactical maps.

This is definitely not a joke or an alarmist statement. Among the hundreds of combat divisions under the military headquarters, a considerable number of them are second-line troops with the word "preparation". The commanders of these divisions are brigade generals, but they never undertake combat tasks. These people use the military base as their sphere of influence to operate relatively independent small circles. They have no bases, and their weapons and logistics supply must rely on nearby base cities. Even so, these divisions have established small towns with city walls, and together with the civilians gathered in the surrounding areas, they become new settlements.

If Yuan Zhicheng asked for the establishment of ten such reserve divisions, there was no need to submit the report to the Standing Committee of the Military Ministry for discussion. With the strength of the northern war zone, it would be easy to form a batch of materials. However, the reason why the back division is poor and weak in combat is not only due to personnel factors, weapon configuration is also crucial. Wang Qinian's old ghost only has the military headquarters, and his relationship with Zhao Zhikai is very unusual. As we all know, the Academy of Sciences is the source of many new equipment. Although the Jing-1 base only accounts for about 21% of the total production capacity of the entire military headquarters, it is responsible for the supply of main parts of important equipment such as small laser emitters. If this source is cut off, no unit can get new weapons to be replaced, and its combat effectiveness will naturally decline.

Although Yuan Zhicheng was powerful, he still maintained his superficial obedience to the military headquarters. Once his face was torn apart, it meant standing opposite the Academy of Sciences and the Military Headquarters. No one knew how many cards Wang Qinian had in his hands? Although Yuan Zhicheng was one of the first representatives to come into contact with the Atlantis, he still felt instinctively afraid of the Academy of Sciences.

Based on the above reasons, Yuan Zhicheng could only submit the plan to add troops to the Standing Committee of the Military Ministry. Only by passing the resolution will the Academy of Sciences enter these new numbers into the computer and provide material assistance continuously.
