Girls und War

Seeing this, the young commander glared and replied, "What aircraft carrier? What are you talking about? That's our Navy's new construction plan. What does it have to do with special operations forces? Don't you agree, Tsun Ying?"

Hearing the young commander's words, Admiral Tsuyoshi, the commander-in-chief of the Huaqu Navy, echoed her, saying, "Yes, yes, yes. Our Navy Department is overwhelmed with tasks, and we need to add more mobile combat forces to ensure the situation. Please don't blame me, please don't blame me."

Seeing the two people telling lies with their eyes open, everyone was speechless.

So the Dugong said in a sly tone, "The Navy Department is building a new helicopter carrier to safeguard the situation? Who are you kidding?"

When the young commander heard the sound of the sea dugong, he became furious and couldn't help but curse.

"Oh, you dead..."

"All right."

But before the young commander could speak, Princess Zhao raised her hand to stop her.

Then the Flower District's highest commander said, "It seems necessary to restrict special forces. However, this restriction cannot be based on weakening the Flower District. I must make this clear in advance. I think everyone should understand, right?"

Princess Zhaohuang's words were very proper and sounded like those of a great general.

At this point, Admiral Guinevere of the Sea Region also spoke up, "We can put these matters aside for now, but we still need to regulate the ratio of special forces to regular forces. If the ratio is seriously unbalanced, the battlefield ecology will be uncontrollable. I believe we can reach a consensus on this point, right?"

After Guinevere finished speaking, the commanders of other war zones nodded in agreement.

So they began to bargain over the detailed personnel ratio.

Xia Shu took the time to carefully observe Guinevere for a while and found that the admiral did look somewhat similar to Captain Hua.

It's just that her appearance is a little more beautiful and her temperament is a little more outstanding.

Guinevere seemed to sense something and suddenly turned her head to look at Xia Shu.

Seeing this, Xia Shu quickly turned his head and looked away.

After a while, when Xia Shu looked back, she was no longer looking at him.

So Xia Shu regarded the previous moment as an illusion, put it behind his mind and stopped thinking about it.

After a while, a group of generals, with the help of AI coordination, reached a more reliable negotiation result.

Specifically, the number of special operations forces in each war zone shall not exceed 2% of the regular forces.

In the flower area, that’s more than 1,500 people.

Such an organization includes front-line combat personnel from various departments such as logistics, communications, and medical care.

That means the current special forces team can only be expanded by a few hundred more.

This made Xia Shu, who was planning to continue to vigorously develop the special forces, feel deeply unhappy.

But then she thought that such a treaty seemed to have many loopholes that could be exploited.

So he remained calm and suppressed his dissatisfaction.

When the young commander saw the contents of the treaty, he was obviously very unhappy.

So she had many verbal battles with other admirals over the subsequent financial restriction treaty.

Finally, after a little coordination, everyone limited fiscal expenditure to 3.5% of total military expenditure.

Note that this is the total military expenditure.

In other words, the military expenditure of the special forces is independent of the four military departments of navy, army, air force and logistics.

If it were put in the Flower District, it would probably be 20 to 30 billion. It was actually a level higher than Xia Shu and the others' previous military spending standards.

This made the young commander's heart move, and his eyes blinked, as if he started to have some evil ideas again.

The admirals of the Navy and Air Force beside her felt a sense of foreboding. They thought the young commander was trying to drag the other two military departments into some shady business.

Upon seeing this, General Zhu Ying immediately warned her, "I won't help you with a single cent. Forget this idea!"

Upon hearing this, the young commander naturally nodded in agreement.

But I'm afraid no one knows what she is thinking.

-

I secretly wrote down two million, and no one should notice, right?

977. Results of the meeting

After the preliminary treaties for each war zone came out, the generals in each war zone had in-depth discussions and determined a more general development trend.

That is, for several major war zones, there will be greater restrictions on funding and personnel to prevent them from becoming too strong and worsening the battlefield ecology.

The treaties with smaller war zones were more relaxed.

There are no fixed regulations for the proportion of their funds and personnel. Instead, they are allowed to make their own decisions as long as they do not collapse their finances.

In addition, among all the war zones, the treaty provisions of the four major zones are the most stringent.

They jointly agreed that, while ensuring that their own military strength remained at the forefront, they would monitor the scale of each other's special forces to see if it exceeded the limit.

Among them, the construction scale of Flower District and Eagle District should be the largest, because they have the largest base, and the most funds and combat personnel compared with the same period last year.

As for Xia Shu's aircraft carrier, the parliament could only reluctantly ignore it due to the young commander's sophistry.

However, the special forces units would no longer be able to build such large-scale combat equipment in their own name.

However, for the sake of fairness, if the special forces conduct joint operations with other military branches, it will depend on their respective specific circumstances and the parliament will not interfere too much.

There is another point that must be mentioned.

That is, the scale of special operations force construction is formulated according to the overall situation of a war zone.

In other words, the Hua District’s Navy Special Operations Forces, the Air Force Special Operations Forces, the “Frogmen” and “Parachutemen” forces should also be counted in the Hua District’s finances and personnel.

If this point had not been brought up at the meeting, Xia Shu would have almost forgotten about the two troops.

The personnel and financial resources of those two forces are not small figures either.

Calculated this way, it seems that there is not enough room for Xia Shu to turn around.

However, these problems are not without solutions. After all, the navy, army and air force are still one family, so they can sit down and talk.

Now, it would be better for everyone to sign the treaty first.

After the treaty was signed, the issue of special forces was over.

Although the flower district did not gain any advantage this time, at least it did not suffer any loss.

Everyone is evenly split, so the situation is relatively balanced.

So this topic ended and the host announced that the discussion would continue to the next topic.

Xia Shu had no interest in the following topics.

As for other issues concerning the Air Force and Navy, she, like other admirals, was busy playing with her own backstage and did not pay any attention to them at all.

Soon, the issue of the hot weapons battlefield ended, and the parliament discussed the issues of the space battlefield and the reserve battlefield.

Finally, some suggestions for expanding the fleets of each sector were made.

With this, this year's Admirals' Parliament came to an end.

The host expressed his gratitude to the generals from each war zone, and then everyone stood up and chatted with each other.

Only then did they begin to disperse and prepare to leave the venue.

Soon, the news leaking from the venue will flood the entire Blue Star society.

Everyone will discuss new laws and regulations and speculate on how the situation will change in the coming year.

As for Xia Shu, since he witnessed the entire progress of the meeting, he could be considered a recipient of first-hand information and was qualified to make his own judgment on the subsequent situation.

In Xia Shu's opinion, the construction of special forces should still be the mainstream in the coming year.

However, it is unlikely that the situation will develop as rapidly as last year.

If you think about it carefully, the funds consumed by their special forces last year, plus the two forces of the Air Force and the Navy, should have been over 10 billion.

And the proportion of funds in the future will probably be halved.

Therefore, she needs to plan carefully for the next period of time to see if she can do something by exploiting the loopholes in the treaty.

However, these matters still need to be carefully considered and it is best not to be caught by people from other war zones. Otherwise, my resume may be affected.

Just as I was thinking about it, the young commander called Xia Shu over again.

Upon hearing this, Xia Shu hurriedly ran forward a few steps, so the young commander stood among several generals and introduced Xia Shu to several big men beside him.

This was not the first time Xia Shu met them, but this was the first time they were formally introduced.

Xia Shu cherishes such occasions very much, so he appears to be particularly well-behaved.

Because she knew that getting familiar with the crowd at this time would only benefit her future development.

After listening to the young commander's introduction, Princess Zhao nodded and said to Xia Shu, "Well, it's very good. Did you write that internal reference report yourself? It's very good."

Upon hearing this, Xia Shu quickly replied, "It was co-written by me and my staff. I was the main writer, and they were responsible for polishing."

Upon hearing this, Princess Zhao nodded and replied, "Not bad."

I don’t know whether it means that he is a good person or that he is good at controlling his subordinates.

At this moment, Admiral Tsuchikage of the Navy looked at Natsuki and suddenly said, "When Yanjie spoke of you before, she was quite complimentary of you. I heard that when she invited you to the Navy Headquarters, you turned her down? Why? Don't you like the Navy Headquarters?"

Xia Shu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

I didn't expect that this big shot in the Navy Department had such a good memory. She even remembered the act of a small person like me rejecting her.

I don’t know whether it’s better to say that I have a lot of face or that she is stingy.

Fortunately, the young commander intervened, saying, "You're still getting angry. What's the matter? Do we in the Army Department have to fawn over you, the Navy Department? Why don't you give me a few ships to play with?"

Admiral Tsunekage heard this and said with a somewhat helpless expression, "Even if I give it to you, you can't use it. What does the army need ships for... I just think that Xia Shu likes it."

Then, turning to Xia Shu, he said, "Xia Shu, if you are willing to come over, I guarantee that you will be promoted to the rank of general within a year - our Navy Department is much more generous than the Army Department."

Well, here we go again, and the price has gone up.

Hearing this, Xia Shu couldn't give a direct answer. He could only give a few perfunctory words, neither agreeing nor refusing.

The young commander naturally would not turn a blind eye to this blatant act of poaching, but he just laughed and scolded Zhu Ying, and it seemed that the two of them had a very good relationship.

After a while, when the admirals on their side were about to leave, the generals from the cold weapon and space warfare sides also came over to greet them.

Lan Ke saw Xia Shu and casually asked, "Have you studied war chess recently? How is your skill now?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Shu replied, "It's just okay, I guess I'm an amateur."

After hearing this, Lan Ke patted Xia Shu on the shoulder and said, "Study hard for space warfare. This subject is essential if you want to be promoted to general in the future."

Xia Shu responded.

Afterwards, Lan Ke took the lead and walked towards the exit of the venue.

978. The two of us are in harmony and understand each other

The fact that Xia Shu and General Lan Ke knew each other was a little beyond the expectations of the generals present.

Seeing this, Princess Zhao glanced at Xia Shu with a half-smile and said with a smile, "It seems that little Xia Shu is not an ordinary person. He has many friends."

Xia Shu didn't know whether Princess Zhao meant it as a compliment or criticism, so he could only humbly deny it.

However, Princess Zhaohuang did not seem to intend to delve into this topic and just chatted with other generals.

Afterwards, they left the venue in groups of three or four, each with their familiar generals.

At this time, the outside of the venue was already crowded with reporters who had flocked in from all over the world.

Although they really wanted to rush up and ask the generals from various war zones questions about the meeting, the diligent robot security guards outside the venue still blocked these reporters outside the aisle.

Xia Shu heard the noise and chaos coming from the group of reporters over there.

She didn't say much, just followed the young commander and pretended not to see them.

The long road outside the door was filled with generals who were leaving the meeting. They were each looking for their own private cars, preparing to return to their own control areas.
