The recent heavy rains caused mudslides on the mountain. Although no one was killed, it was still quite dangerous.
Tiger and Leopard Peak, Deputy Cabinet Office.
Qin Che was discussing the aftermath of the mudslide with Lina.
"The construction team should stop for two days. The military should send people to clean up the filth and arrange leave for the frightened people to rest for two days, while their salaries will be paid as usual."
Upon hearing Qin Che's order, Lina smiled and said, "They've all worked hard these past few days."
"Yes, in two or three years, once the mountainous area is developed, we can arrange for immigrants to come here. The desert people will eventually have to leave."
Qin Che stood up and looked at the mountain map hanging on the wall.
During this period, he had already sent people to survey the surrounding terrain and draw up corresponding maps, encompassing the entire eastern mountainous area, which was clear at a glance.
Lina was wearing a black bodysuit, her figure was fit, her short hair was down to her shoulders, and her eyes were focused. She had been busy with work lately, which made her much more active than before.
Qin Che could roughly guess her feelings.
It's probably because... Safanyin isn't here.
However, some things are governed by rules, and Qin Che couldn't say it outright. Keeping Lina by his side was a tacit understanding between him and Li Jiuyuan.
Li Jiuyuan's willingness to entrust Lina to him also means that his position in the political center of the desert will become increasingly solid.
"Why don't you take a few days off? You look very tired and need to rest." Qin Che's gaze was gentle.
After talking to her last time, Lina became much smarter. She stopped clamoring to quit her job and instead focused on her work, devoting herself wholeheartedly to Qin Che. Her resentment lessened considerably.
Lina shook her head: "The front line could be at any time, and all the logistical support, engineering calculations, development plans... need to be arranged in advance."
"Oh, right, there's one more thing, our budget is running low..."
Qin Che said, "Compile a bill and send it to the cabinet so they can prepare it."
Lina lowered her eyes. The front was engaged in development and warfare, and the money was all provided by the cabinet. Despite such a war-mongering and labor-conscription effort, the cabinet did not complain at all, but instead did its best to help.
Most of this was supported by Safanyin.
For Qin Che, as a princess, she held a high political position and had considerable influence in the cabinet, making her a virtuous wife.
Compared to that woman, he could only do some insignificant work by Qin Che's side.
Even though she tried very hard,
But it didn't help Qin Che much.
He now holds a prestigious position and is no longer the unassuming and extraordinary person he was when he set out from Sandcastle.
"The Vice-Chancellor has been quite vocal lately, saying that fighting a war while simultaneously developing the country is costing a fortune. Some people are planning to advise you that at least one of the two should be abandoned."
Qin Che smiled and said, "Don't worry about him."
"The military has told me that the budget is still relatively sufficient and there is a continuous supply of synthetic starch. The soldiers are willing to expand the desert even without pay. This place is a new world in their eyes."
Synthetic starch has its own unique characteristics.
It is incomparable to natural crops.
Production is CD-free, requiring no waiting for crops to grow; it is entirely produced in the factory, and in huge quantities.
Naturally, supplies could be easily provided to the front-line troops. As for vegetables and raw meat, the supply was not large. The daily usage was calculated based on personnel and supply and demand. When cooking, the food was cooked in a large pot, and every soldier could eat their fill.
In addition, many new factories have been built in the desert recently.
After unification, Qin Che reformed the military equipment industry.
The inventory also contains a large number of individual soldier equipment such as incendiary guns, rapid-fire weapons, and bulletproof plates.
They were elite troops, far superior to the raiders.
Besides the Spring Soldiers and the Southern Army, there are other special military supplies such as energy packs for the Colony Guards and hydrogen batteries for the Backpackers. The supply chain is complete, but the quantity is limited, which restricts the number of troops.
But it's not a big problem.
Li Xin is on the front lines, as is this powerful superhuman.
When they encounter problems they can't solve, the two of them can step in.
“But the budget saved from the military has all been spent on projects, and some people are still complaining,” Lina said, frowning.
"For such a minor matter, just have the Vice Minister give a heads-up. There's no need to tell me. The overall policy will not change," Qin Che said expressionlessly, returning to his seat.
Lina nodded: "I'll remind them."
"The intelligence department has figured out Black Flag City's details. Their city lord went to the Northern Territory a few months ago and sent someone to meet with the Sun God Cult. It seems they're planning a war." Qin Che frowned, holding a telegram that had just been sent back.
People like Wei Tuozhi made great contributions, and Qin Che gave him certain powers in the military, allowing him to form his own psionic intelligence team.
Ordinary spies cannot blend in with the raiders in the mountains.
Psionicists, by virtue of their unique abilities, are able to successfully transmit a great deal of information back to us.
Among them was a master-level special ability that Qin Che remembered vividly. He regarded it as a human telegraph machine, which could transmit intelligence to Tiger Leopard Peak anytime and anywhere, hundreds of kilometers away, without any delay, simply by relying on its special ability.
Very powerful.
Qin Che didn't know where Wei Tuozhi found his friend; he'd heard that Wei Tuozhi was a veteran back in the day.
"Newly acquired intelligence?"
Lina reached out and took the document, her fingers inadvertently brushing against Qin Che's. She felt his skin was cool, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
Qin Che didn't think much of it and said, "A great battle is about to break out. The rear must be stabilized. There can be no dissenting voices. Do you understand?"
"clear."
