After arranging Mingyue's work and authority in Hongjiang for a few days, and repeatedly formulating production and market, Qin Shi and others prepared to leave.
"Boss, I've already sent all the delicious food by express delivery. I think by the time we get there, the food will have already arrived in Kyoto."
"Wanli, can you please do something serious? I'm organizing the information, you go and prepare some delicious food and send it by express!" General Long Fei joked from the side.
"Shut up, I've finished my work and returned to Kyoto. If you want to eat, don't ask me for it!"
"Huh, if I were like you, I'd mailed a lot of stuff to the boss too, and shipped it yesterday!"
"Fuck, you thief!"
A few people packed their things and did not ask Hongjiang’s leaders to see them off. Instead, they took a car to the airport alone.
"Wanli, are you ready for the seafood I asked you to bring for those people?"
"Don't worry, they're all airlifted. They'll be alive and kicking once they arrive in Kyoto!"
This time he stayed for a long time and spent a lot of money. Qin Shi also had to bring back the spoils, which was also an explanation to Congress.
Although I am not qualified to intervene in Congress, the heads of those departments are all under the direct jurisdiction of Congress, so their testimony will be enough.
The scenery in Hongjiang is beautiful, the people are beautiful, and there are countless delicious foods, but there are more things to do in Qin Shi, so he led everyone straight to Kyoto.
"Kyoto is still so comfortable. We haven't been back for a long time. Let's have a drink to celebrate tonight!" Wanli and Long Feijiang were very excited. Although this trip had its ups and downs, it was still a contribution and it was indeed worth celebrating.
But Qin Shi had just gotten off the plane and hadn't even returned home when he was called by Liu Jianguo from the National Defense Department.
"Minister Liu, I haven't been home for a long time. I haven't even been home yet, so why did you call me here?"
"Team Leader Qin, I have to say, your brilliance is unmatched anywhere. How did you come up with the idea of inland seafood farming? I didn't quite believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to actually work. I can't wait to try it!"
"Don't worry about that. I've brought the food back for you. You can try it later. But there's no need to rush just to order some seafood, right?"
"There's no rush for this. I called you here for another matter..." Liu Jianguo stammered.
"Oh, what's the hurry? Just tell me, we're not strangers anymore!"
"This matter is a bit complicated. There are always wars abroad, you know!"
"I know that. I thought it would be a quick battle, but it dragged on for years."
"Yes. Besides national strength, many factors related to field operations also contributed to the war's derailment. This war has served as a wake-up call to other nations. For this reason, we conducted a live-fire exercise with our neighboring nation, but unfortunately, we lost."
"Lost? Didn't you see anything on the news about the drill?"
"This event itself was intended to simulate a real outdoor competition. It wasn't announced to the public, but the world's top leaders knew about it. One side defended, the other attacked.
But the result was unexpected. We actually couldn't take down the other side's defense within the specified time!"
"Oh, I get it. It's just like other countries' outdoor confrontations. If you lose, you lose!"
Qin Shi didn't understand. The simulation results were the same as the real results. Wasn't that consistent with the facts? Why was he so gloomy?
"It's different, Xiao Qin, you have to understand one thing, foreign wars are not impossible to win, but there are many factors and cost considerations..." Liu Jianguo did not want to say much about the war between the two countries, but talked about his own problems.
"But this exercise will have a huge impact on China's national strength. If the enemy discovers that our military strength is inadequate, it will be disastrous!"
Finally, the point was made, and Qin Shi understood. What Liu Jianguo was afraid of was that the prestige of the great power would be questioned. If this exercise failed, the result would be that other countries would feel that China was unreliable.
"Are you worried that if this exercise fails, other small countries will have other ideas?"
"It's not fear, it's certainty. There are many things we can't gamble on. The prestige of a great power cannot be questioned. If there is an accident, our Chinese border will be in jeopardy!"
"I understand, but I'm just a member of the investigation team. It's useless to ask me about this kind of thing. Isn't it your job as soldiers to figure out how to win?"
The exercise failed, and Qin Shi was blamed for this matter. Even Qin Shi was confused. It made no sense at all!
"Everyone's saying you're a prophet, a savior who can solve all problems. The exercises have to continue. Can you go to the exercise site for a few days to help with the staff?"
"I..."
Qin Shi was dumbfounded. He was just an office worker at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. What could he possibly do on the battlefield? Regardless of his current position, he could probably help with the economy and projects, but he definitely couldn't handle the battlefield.
"Brother Liu, let me be honest. I know nothing about war. If you let me go, it would be a waste of time. I can't even understand it, let alone be a staff officer!"
Qin Shi knew exactly how much he was worth.
"Brother, please help me this time. I've already been scolded in Congress. If the military system can find someone capable, I won't have to worry about it. I just hope you can help me think of a solution from another perspective!"
"This..." Qin Shi was still hesitant.
"Brother, if this succeeds, it's all your credit. If it fails, it has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, just think of it as helping your older brother!"
Qin Shi could refuse if it came to work, but he felt a little embarrassed when it came to relationships. After all, Liu Jianguo had helped him a lot, and if he showed no mercy, it would be difficult for him to do his job in the future.
Although I have never been to the battlefield, it’s just an exercise, so it shouldn’t be a big problem!
"Well, Minister Liu, I'll go take a look, but I know nothing about military affairs. If I can't accomplish anything or even make a fool of myself, don't blame me!"
"Okay, your words are enough. So, you take a rest today. I'll call Wanli back and let him assist you. He understands all this acting stuff!"
"Okay then! I'll go back and wait for Wanli's call!"
Qin Shi left Liu Jianguo's office, and Wan Li, who was drinking with Long Feijiang, was called back by Liu Jianguo in a hurry.
"Minister Liu, you've found the right person for this matter. Team Leader Qin is definitely the best choice. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. There won't be any problems!"
When talking about the war, Wanli lost all desire to drink. He went straight home to study with a pile of information!
The next morning, Qin Shi was still asleep when his door was knocked. Fully armed soldiers stood at his door! Leading the group was none other than Wan Li, who had dark circles under his eyes.
"Wanli, I don't care if you don't sleep all night, I still have to sleep!"
