After looking at everyone's reactions, Ding Kui continued: "It is estimated that the Commander-in-Chief's Office will know the news now and will not react so quickly. Once the Commander-in-Chief's Office has corresponding countermeasures, I will get the news as soon as possible."
Except for those who had been to Lu State, others heard something unusual. Ding Kui had received such important information earlier than the commander-in-chief. They did not know that Ding Kui had received the information earlier than the king and the spy chief.
"Qi State has the support of the Tongbei Empire, and it is unlikely that our country will attack Qi State with all our strength." Liu Yu heard important information from Ding Kui's words, "Cao State has been against our country all year round, and its military strength is stronger than Qi State's. So Commander-in-Chief
The government should consider taking action against Cao Guo.
Yangyuan Prefecture is facing the border of Cao State, and there are many river sections where cross-river attacks can be carried out. In addition, Yangyuan Prefecture's naval strength remains intact. The main force to attack Cao State is likely to be drawn from Yangyuan Prefecture, and at most Nanzhao Prefecture.
It's an auxiliary attack.
Once a war breaks out, Nanzhao Prefecture will definitely dispatch a legion to support Yangyuan Prefecture. The 20th legion will defend the Great Swamp, and the 21st legion will guard against the Meng Kingdom, so the 14th legion is most likely to be transferred there.
As a result, part of the 21st Army Corps will be mobilized north to fill the vacancy caused by the transfer of the 14th Army Corps. The 201st Division will transfer troops from inland cities to the riverside. The only good thing is that they will not be transferred.
Take the first group.
The lord has said that if the three armies move forward without using food and grass, there will be a shortage of food and military supplies in the cities along the Nanzhaozhou River. We need to buy large amounts of food and military supplies and rent a large number of cargo ships in advance."
"Wouldn't this be robbing the military of supplies?" Xue Chong opposed from the bottom of his heart anything that harmed the interests of the military.
"Haha, how could it be?" Ding Kui smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Don't forget our location. There are many ways to buy food and military supplies. Jiguo and Mengguo are very happy to sell to us. Once they know the news
before."
"Even if we have hoarded a large amount of food and military supplies and transported them to the war zone, what if there is an emergency that causes the generals in the war zone to forcibly collect the goods? Sometimes it becomes chaotic and it is impossible to figure out who took the things." Xue Chong
The opinions represent the views of lower-level officers.
"Who dares to confiscate the Ding family's belongings?"
The temperature in the study suddenly dropped a few degrees. Everyone knew that the voice was not directed at them, but the people present still felt chills in their hearts unconsciously.
"Take a step back and tell me that someone is really robbing me. I don't believe that the Xun family dares to protect those people." Ding Kun spoke slowly and forcefully.
"Commander Xue is worrying too much," Qian Bu tried his best to open his eyes. "No regular army dares to snatch the goods with the python flag. No matter how chaotic the situation is, the commander-in-chief can clearly detect it. The Ding family of the Protector of the Country is the least worried.
The military will cause chaos."
"Well, it's the younger generation who are ignorant." Xue Chong admired these two old people.
"Death Grip" Ding Kun and "Soul-Breaking Arrow" Qian Bu were famous seniors in the army, and Xue Chong could only look up to them.
"Not only food and military supplies, but also a large amount of herbal medicine for treating trauma are needed. Our country is rich in these things. Our country is the farthest from the battlefield and has nothing to do with the war. If you can sell more supplies, you will make a profit." Fei Ze added.
.
"You should make money when you can make money, and you should contribute when you should contribute to the country. These two things are not contradictory. The kingdom has been at war for the past two years, and it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of military supplies. It is a great achievement that we can transport them to the war zone in time.
One thing, it is natural to make some small money. Mr. Liu, tell me what you think." Ding Kui is not opposed to making war fortune.
Selling military supplies is not illegal in the Shaodian Kingdom, as long as the goods come from a legitimate source, the military is willing to spend money to buy them from you, and you are not afraid of the goods being robbed by the rebels.
Liu Yu suggested: "The Lord's Palace can issue an administrative order to implement tax-free discounts for individual goods within a one-month period. At the same time, find someone to pretend to be a buyer to purchase a large amount of tax-free goods, and build a temporary warehouse near Pier 2 to prepare for hoarding. Goods shipped from abroad.”
"You can also stock up on supplies at the base." General Shi interjected.
Qian You asked: "Why is there a one-month limit? I don't know how long the war will last." He was the only one who had not spoken in the study.
"The expiration date can be extended. The purpose of the deadline is to collect a batch of low-priced items in a short period of time. It will be difficult to buy bargains once the sale officially starts." Ding Kui naturally understands these little tricks.
"This is what the adults thought of. I didn't think much about it," Liu Yu said modestly.
This kind of credit should be given to the leaders. Liu Yu, who was born in the staff department, would not understand. Fei Ze was so careful that he did not give a supplementary explanation and let Ding Kui do it.
In fact, even if Liu Yu didn't say anything, Ding Kui could also think of how to take advantage of being well-informed. Ding Kui has always been more concerned about it.
"What if our country does not send troops to attack Cao Guo?" Ding Kun asked what several people were holding back.
Liu Yu did not hesitate and answered immediately: "As long as there is no problem with the source of the information, the commander-in-chief will definitely recommend attacking Cao State, and the king has no reason to refuse.
I wonder if you still remember ten years ago? There was a good year of food on the east bank of the Tongyuan River. Our country took advantage of the new death of the monarch of Qi State to launch a war. That was not a good opportunity and the commander-in-chief strongly requested to send troops.
This time, the Cao State was suddenly attacked. Without any preparation, at least three or four legions had to be mobilized to deal with the Qi State. The defense on the east bank of the Tongyuan River would be greatly affected. The opportunity this time was far better than ten years ago.
Nowadays, the West Sea War Zone is fighting a naval battle. The army on land is ready but has no chance to take action. The recruits who were just trained on the battlefield of Nanzhaozhou a few years ago have no place to use it. Under the influence of various factors, the ministers of the DPRK and China will definitely agree to attack Cao Guo. .”
Ding Kui waved his hand to stop those who wanted to speak, and said: "It doesn't matter if we don't fight. Food, herbs and military supplies are good things. If the military doesn't want them, I can just keep them for myself. It won't affect the development of our territory. There is no harm."
He was so certain that others had nothing to say, and the worst outcome would not be much worse, so no one continued to raise objections.
Shaodianluan saw her husband walking into the backyard absentmindedly, so she jumped behind him and called, "Hey!"
"Well, childish, didn't you prepare the gift tonight?" Ding Kui realized that he had walked into the princess's courtyard.
"Long Yan is already ready. They are afraid that I will be tired and won't let me intervene." Shao Dianluan pouted her lips, feeling a little emotional.
"You have the final say in this house? Today is your first time keeping vigil here. Even if you are tired, you have to go all over the city. Don't wait for the gifts to be given out. If you can't give anything to others, you will make a big fool of yourself."
Ding Kui knew that his wife had never considered this aspect, so he needed to train her housekeeping skills more.
