The officers in charge of inviting Dooling include not only a lieutenant but also a captain.


    Du Lin was not "cheaper" than mennong. After soliciting the opinions of the Ministry of national defense, the Western military region not only gave more treatment than mennong in terms of reception personnel, but also took good care of Du Lin''s mood. Unfortunately, Dooling didn''t intend to do what they planned.


    He called Thomas as early as a week ago. In addition to congratulating him on becoming the youngest major general of the Imperial Navy, he also asked him to come and discuss business on the east coast in the new year.


    This is a big problem, at least when it is carried on the shoulders of Major General Thomas. At present, with the economic recovery, wages are increasing everywhere, people have more and more money in their pockets, and their ability to consume drinks is becoming stronger and stronger. In the past, people spent 25 cents on a glass of fruit wine, which may feel a little extravagant. Now they spend 35 cents on a glass of fruit wine, which is not very expensive.


    In particular, in order to compete for more markets and sales, the licensees of Dolin distillation took the initiative to clean up the "illegal" workshops within their sphere of influence, which further expanded the production quantity and shipment of major wineries. Since the end of last year, illian''s "fragrant island" has shipped more than 800000 bottles a month, and has soared to one million bottles again this year.


    In the original transportation agreement signed by Dooling and the Navy, the transportation cost was not calculated by space, but by recording pieces. Every time the Navy''s transport ship took a bottle of wine from illian''s Island, Doolin would pay them 50% of the transportation cost. One million bottles a month cost 500000 yuan for transportation, which is six million a year. This stable income has made Thomas a red man in the top of the Navy. No naval base can not only be self-sufficient, but also support military expenses to the naval headquarters, except the ilian naval base.


    In addition, Dooling and Thomas talked about the new business on the phone, which was enough for Thomas to immediately put down everything in his hands to see Dooling. He knew that he could become a major general without Dooling''s help. If there was a contradiction between him and Dooling and the cooperative relationship broke down, he would still be a major general, but he was definitely not a valuable major general, Maybe sent to a naval base where birds don''t shit for the rest of their lives.


    "If you have any questions, you can ask here. My friend is seriously injured and should not go anywhere else. If your superior has anything to blame, you can let him come to me.", Major General Thomas glanced at Turin, "I will stay here these days and won''t go anywhere!"


    The two officers standing at the door looked at each other, pleaded guilty and left immediately. They had to report the situation here to the headquarters. Now the situation is beyond their ability.


    After the door was closed, Thomas asked curiously, "who did you provoke? Dare to assassinate you? Do you need me to do something for you?". At this time, Thomas has the style of major general in terms of eyes and tone. He now controls the ilian naval base. He is a real general. Even if the time is not long, it is enough to cultivate his demeanor.


    When he first saw Dooling, he almost mentioned the phone and transferred someone from the west coast. No matter who the other person is, he will make that person regret that he was born in this world. Dooling is the most reliable, trusted and friendly partner of the Navy. He almost died and may affect his future. How can Thomas bear it? Fortunately, Turin stroked him, otherwise something big might happen.


    Durin picked up the polygonal apple on the plate, as if he had seen such an apple in his memory. It is said that the apple can sell tens of millions of billions. But he had no interest in the apple. He put it back and asked Thomas to put the plate aside, "These are small things. I''m still alive, aren''t I? I didn''t expect the Ministry of defense to look at the West so closely. Only a little thing happened and entered the state of military control. So I need someone to help me. You happen to be the most suitable person. At the same time, I have another business to talk to you."


    "Let''s talk about our new business first..." Dooling made a move. Dufo gave orders to the people in the corridor, then locked the door, and Dooling touched his lips, "You know, I bought a copper mine. I intend to take these ores back to illian to forge, so I need a stable transportation route. In fact, land transportation is more reliable and safe than sea transportation, but we are friends, aren''t we? I''d rather spend more money and leave this money to my friend, Thomas!"


    Thomas was moved by what Turin said, because he could hear that what Turin said was true. Yes, in the west, if you want to transport a large number of things to illian, the fastest and safest way is land transportation. You can buy a special train to pull goods, which costs about 20000 to 30000 yuan at a time. But Turin really left this opportunity to him, so every time Turin transports For the same goods, you may have to pay 10000 to 30000 yuan more!


    This is not a small sum of money, and because it is not a small sum of money, Thomas was very moved, "in fact... You don''t have to do this. I''m sitting in a stable position, everyone convinced me, and the top is very good for me." he looked at Du Lin sincerely, "You have helped me so much that I don''t know how to repay you. Now you have to give me these. I really don''t know what to do!"


    "Of course, that''s it." Turin put his hands on the bed and sat back. Thomas immediately took the initiative to pick up the pillow, folded it in half and put it on Turin''s waist. Turin thanked and said, "Thomas, my friend, do you think major general is your end?" Turin continued, looking at Major General Thomas with a thoughtful look on his face: "If I say, absolutely not. There are lieutenant general above the major general, general above the lieutenant general, and field marshal above the general. Thomas, you just entered this class, are still at the bottom of this class, and are far from the end!"


    "As I said to you last time, we are friends, so as long as what I am doing can bring benefits to my friends, I will think of my friends!", Thomas has gradually shown a look of listening. Turing pointed to the apple. Dover picked up one and cut it quickly. He is a little thirsty, "I''m sure I won''t use the train to take the goods from the west to Yilian this time. I''ll use the sea. You may have enough fame on the east coast. Many naval bases are familiar with you, but the Imperial Navy is very large. What about the west coast?"


    "This is an opportunity, Thomas. You tell the people on the west coast that I will ship goods from the west through you, and then ship them to illian through the Navy on the west coast. The price I give them is the same as the price I give you. Anyway, I have to spend money, so why not spend it in a meaningful place? Major general only It''s your beginning, Admiral. Even the marshal is your goal! "


    After listening to Thomas, although he didn''t want to admit it, pengpeng''s heart has betrayed himself. Turing is right. He has just started. If he can maintain a very good relationship with these navies on the west coast, it will definitely have an absolute impact on his promotion.


    In peacetime when there is no war, the change of the army is very slow. In other words, there are turnips and pits. When a senior Navy General retires, he will nominate the vacant position and conduct a final screening to determine who will replace him. In this process, the senior Navy will take into account many factors, of which three are the most important Point.


    The first is management ability, the second is business ability, and the third is interpersonal relationship.


    In fact, even if there is a war and the Navy needs to participate in the war, it will not be the Navy generals above the general level who really command on the front line. Most of them will be responsible for guarding their own naval base, and the captain, Captain and staff officers assigned by them will be responsible for the actual war. Therefore, the management ability is very important. How to find those officers with real ability from the base and And it is very important for them to be willing to stay in the Navy, which is related to the combat effectiveness of a naval base.


    The second point is the ability to change money. Without the military appropriation of the Ministry of national defense, the Navy wants to change clothes. In addition to changing clothes for itself, no one can allocate money to support the Navy. Even the senior Navy is impossible. Their own money may not be enough for their own regional bases to change clothes. They also expect them to support others? Don''t be kidding!


    Third, it is easy to understand that only people can have money and get things done, which is particularly important for the Navy that has changed its flavor. Thomas touched the latter two key points and successfully crossed the difficulties and became a typical rear admiral.


    If a lieutenant general really wants to retire, the assessment score will be particularly important when the senior management is looking for a new lieutenant general. There may have been nepotism or interest relations in the past, but now there is absolutely no senior naval management. Those who have no ability have long been kicked out, leaving only capable people. At this time, if there is also a group of naval generals on the west coast to support him According to MAS, he is likely to become a new lieutenant general.


    As long as he crosses this threshold, he will be able to form his own interest group in the naval group, and a naval interest group around the money in Thomas and Turin will be born!


    Durin has heard the wind. The cabinet plans to cooperate with the Ministry of defense to resume peace talks with the high-level of the Navy headquarters. This is a good opportunity and the only opportunity to break "our own people" into the high-level of military forces!


    At the thought that there may be tens of millions, hundreds of millions or even billions of military purchases in the future, Du Lin became more and more enthusiastic.
