Chapter 1203 Marriage

Chen Fang, who proposed the idea of ​​the staff department, originally wanted to be a hand-off shopkeeper, but he didn't consider that in order to realize this idea, he had to do it himself. To do it, it can be said that he dug his own hole and buried himself.

So the daily life that Chen Fang wanted was gone, replaced by a busy life.

But just as he sorted out the plan on how to set up the staff department, something else came to him.

It's from the goblin tribe, and the leader is Biris.

They came here to discuss with Chen Fang about the joint army that he mentioned last time.

Chen Fang's head exploded when he understood what Biris had come for.

"If you want to do this, everything will run together."

Biris looked at Chen Fang's troubled look, and asked curiously, "Is something wrong?"

Chen Fang didn't want to say it at first, but considering that the two companies will cooperate in the future, the United Army will inevitably use a similar military system, so he explained to Bi Lisi.

Billis doesn't know anything about the military, but she's not stupid.

"Your Excellency Chen Fang, can I study with you?"

Chen Fang was taken aback.

"Why does Your Highness want to study with me? I don't seem to have anything for you to learn."

This is actually a disguised rejection.

Some things can be said to others, but it is not good to involve others.

Because the establishment of the staff department also involves many aspects, the first is the cultivation of talents.

And how to cultivate talents has always been the most confidential thing.

Although the two sides are now cooperating, it is not a close cooperation that pleases the heart.

Maybe the goblins will not betray in the future, but they still need to defend themselves.

When working with people, you can maintain goodwill, but you must never lose focus.

If you keep Biris by your side, when she learns it and teaches it to her own people, will she be able to use it against herself one day.

That's why Chen Fang didn't want Biris to learn from him.

Biris naturally understood what Chen Fang meant, but she didn't give up. She directly stated that since the two sides are allies and will form a joint army together, they should trust each other, and asked Chen Fang to believe that the goblin clan Never backfire on a true ally.

Of course, in order to silence Chen Fang, Biris said in advance that the human races in the southern border were not allies, but just neighbors who lived in one place and had to unite with each other.

What Bi Lisi said was very sincere, but Chen Fang would not change his mind just because of a person's attitude, so he still refused.

"His Royal Highness Billis, to put it a bit harshly, even if our two families are allies, we are not really close. We all have our own secrets and trump cards and other things that we don't want outsiders to know."

"So study with me, forget it."

Chen Fang's attitude is very firm.

Bi Lisi still did not give up, and said: "Your Excellency Chen Fang, don't you mean that the staff department you mentioned is not going to be implemented in our coalition?"

Chen Fang shook his head.

"That's not true, the United Army will also be equipped."

Biris was even more puzzled, "Since the joint army will be equipped as well, why can't I learn from you as a party of the goblins?"

Naturally, Chen Fang would not say the real reason, so as not to hurt the friendship between the two parties, so he found an excuse and said: "It's very simple, because it is unnecessary."

"I told you before that the staff department is the department that formulates feasible combat plans for the enemy. What is needed is to gather together experienced and smart people who can fight."

"You can do it by yourself, there is no need to follow me."

When Biris listened and wanted to say something, Chen Fang continued to speak without letting her interrupt.

"And I think you don't want to be known, the candidate for the staff department, this is one of the reasons why I don't let you study with me."

Billy thought it made sense.

If she were Chen Fang, she would not want to expose her candidate to outsiders.

"I'm so sorry, I was the one to be abrupt." Biris apologized.

Chen Fang waved his hand quickly, saying that there is no need to care about this matter.

"Then about the joint army, how do you plan to start?" Biris asked.

This was one of the purposes of her visit.

Chen Fang thought for a while and confirmed to Bi Lisi: "I said before that the number of the coalition army is tentatively set at 30,000. I will provide 20,000 from Nirvana City, and you will have 10,000. Candidates from both sides will compete for the commander. , you are solely responsible for the food and grass, aren’t you?”

Billis nodded.

This was indeed the case with the previous rough verbal agreement.

Chen Fang cleared his throat and said, "Then let me give my opinion first."

"First of all, these 30,000 soldiers should all be recruits."

Bi Lisi was puzzled: "Why, the recruits have no fighting power at all, and the veterans are better."

Chen Fang explained: "Because it is a joint army, the rules in the army naturally cannot follow the military regulations of either of our two sides, and need to be re-formulated. The new soldiers are more moldable than the veterans, and they do not have a solidified thinking, so it is easier to accept the new military regulations. .”

Biris agrees with what Chen Fang said.

"Is that going to recruit a new batch?"

"If there are soldiers who have just entered the army for less than two months, that's fine. If not, they can only be recruited again."

Biris frowned. The elves were not that keen on fighting, so it might be a little troublesome to recruit a new batch.

But no matter how troublesome it is, you have to try it. After all, it is the first large-scale cooperation between the two parties, and it involves a very important issue of trust between them.

"I'll go back and try." Biris said determinedly.

Chen Fang nodded and went on to say: "The next step is the formulation of military regulations, which requires us to send relevant personnel to discuss."

"Then there is the garrison. My suggestion is to choose an area between us to build a military city to garrison this army."

"The last is training. In this regard, I will provide a training plan and hand it over to our people for discussion."

Biris agreed without any problems, but she suddenly thought of a problem.

"Then the equipment of the joint army, is it prepared by us?"

Chen Fang was really negligent about this point.

"It's best to come together."

"But our soldiers generally use bows and arrows, and wear rattan and leather armor. Except for the swords, which are bought, they are all made by ourselves, and your human race uses metal products. Can you unify them?"

Chen Fang smiled and said, "I didn't make it clear. What I mean is that the equipment should be uniform in style, so that people can tell that it is the same style at a glance. As for the preparation, it is best for the United Army to buy it themselves."

Biris showed a puzzled expression. The style of the first sentence was uniform, and she still understood it, but she didn't understand the latter sentence.

Seeing this, Chen Fang explained.

"So you may not understand, let me explain briefly."

"Although the joint army is a cooperation between the two of us, it is best to have its own independent financial and logistics system."

"That is to say, both of us give them money, and then they use the money to place orders from both of us to buy weapons and equipment."

Bi Lisi was puzzled: "Isn't this superfluous?"

Chen Fang shook his head, "No, it's just very necessary."

If it was prepared by yourself, then after entering the joint army, who is this thing?

For example, Nirvana City provided a batch of weapons to the soldiers of the human race, and these weapons can also be used by the goblins. We don’t intend to repeat the supply of similar weapons. Do you think there will be any objections from Nirvana City?

Maybe there will be no opinions in the front, but it will be hard to say if there are too many in the back. After all, no one wants to be taken advantage of all the time.

So to avoid this kind of situation, let the coalition army buy it themselves, so that the weapons and equipment will not bear the labels of either Nirvana City or the Fairy Clan, and belong to the coalition army alone, and no one will suffer.

And it can also solve some hidden dangers and troubles, such as the weapons prepared by each, which may induce and intensify the potential antagonism between soldiers of the two races.

After Chen Fang's verbal explanation, Biris suddenly realized.

"Your Excellency is really amazing, which makes me want to stay by your side and study more and more."

Chen Fang shrugged his shoulders, saying that Biris thinks too highly of him, and he was just talking about things that can be understood after thinking about it.

On the other hand, Biris felt that Chen Fang was too modest. After the two exchanged business ideas for a while, Biris said solemnly: "Your Excellency Chen Fang, this time, besides the matter of the joint army, there is actually one more thing. Regarding how to deepen the alliance between you and us, I need to discuss it with you and the palace.”

After saying this, Biris looked rather tangled, as if she didn't want to mention it from the bottom of her heart.

Chen Fang asked: "What's the matter, do you need me to discuss it with Xiaobai?"

Bi Lisi said: "This matter is of great importance. Can I explain it after your Excellency and His Majesty meet together?"

Although he didn't know what was going on, Chen Fang would not refuse when Biris said so, so he took Biris to Gong Xiaobai's office.

When they arrived at the place, the two saw Gong Xiaobai sitting at the desk as a machine for signing and stamping.

"Xiaobai, are you free? Her Highness Biris wants to talk to you and me." Chen Fang said after entering.

Gong Xiaobai raised his head to see Chen Fang and pouted, a bit reluctant.

It has been a few months since Chen Fang and Wu Yaoyan got married, but Gong Xiaobai is still brooding and quarreling.

Anyone who has a father on his head feels awkward.

Of course being awkward is being awkward, Gong Xiaobai's feelings for Chen Fang are still the same as before, and there is even a little more unexplainable family affection.

"Hmph, I'm busy, I don't have time." Gong Xiaobai snorted coldly.

Chen Fang didn't care about Gong Xiaobai's attitude, so he invited Bi Lisi, who looked a little embarrassed, to sit down with him and said, "Don't be surprised, he's not targeting you, it's just because I'm married to his mother that he's angry with me. "

Biris breathed a sigh of relief, since it wasn't aimed at her, there was no need to be embarrassed.

"My lord, hello, I'm taking the liberty to visit, I wonder if I'm disturbing you." Biris greeted proactively.

Gong Xiaobai said embarrassingly: "No, please forgive my gaffe just now."

"Where?"

After the two greeted each other, Biris took the initiative to tell another purpose of coming this time.

Bi Lisi: "That's right, I'm looking for you two today because I was entrusted by my mother to discuss something with you two."

Gong Xiaobai: "Tell me."

Biris glanced at Chen Fang, who was paralyzed on the sofa, and said, "On the order of the queen of our family, I would like to propose a marriage marriage request to the noble allies of Nirvana City, so as to deepen the relationship between the two parties."

"ah."

Gong Xiaobai was surprised.

Chen Fang said in a nonchalant tone: "It's absolutely fine. I agree with both hands and feet. Anyway, Xiaobai is a big guy. It's time to find a partner. It just so happens that you have this intention, so you can kill two birds with one stone."

Marriage among allies is normal and beneficial to both parties, so Chen Fang will naturally not object.

As for Gong Xiaobai's wishes, hehe, I'm sorry, as the ruling class, there is often no freedom to speak of in marriage, interests are the key, and everyone understands it.

"Uncle, what are you thinking? Why do you decide? I absolutely disagree." Gong Xiaobai said angrily.

Chen Fang shrugged and said, "I didn't make the decision for you. It is your mother who can make the decision. But do you think she will disagree?"

Gong Xiaobai was silent.

As for his mother, she knew it all too well. If she knew about the marriage, she would definitely force him to agree, and there was absolutely no possibility of not agreeing.

In her eyes, all things that can help Gong Xiaobai, as long as they are beneficial and beneficial, are acceptable, even if they pay for some insignificant things, such as freedom of marriage.

This can be seen from the fact that she used the rest of her life to plot against Chen Fang.

It may look dark to others, but she is actually a mother who can give everything for her children, which is natural.

"I don't care, anyway, I can't marry someone I don't like." Gong Xiaobai said loudly.

"Which woman in the goblin clan is not fair and beautiful, but even a man is tempted, so don't say you don't like it. When a man sees a beautiful woman, as long as his heart is tempted, he will like it later. What's more, the person who will marry you must be a member of the royal family. Even more beautiful." Chen Fang said.

Gong Xiaobai said angrily: "Then why don't you go by yourself."

Chen Fang: "I am small-hearted and cannot tolerate too many people."

Well, besides your mother, there are three other people who are waiting to love, this heart can no longer be divided.

Chen Fang ignored Gong Xiaobai, but said to Bi Lisi who had a strange look: "Leave him alone, this marriage is only for the benefit of both of you and me, and to deepen the trust relationship. Don’t worry too much about being rejected, I can assure you of that.”

"By the way, I'm more curious, can I ask who is the object of marriage with Xiaobai?"

Biris is naturally impossible, because she will definitely take over the position of queen in the future and will never become a marriage partner.

"This... I think your Excellency has misunderstood this. This time, the object of my family's marriage is not the palace, but..."

Biris hesitated and didn't know how to say it, because it was too unimaginable.

"Not Xiaobai?"

Chen Fang was surprised.

If it's not Xiaobai, then who is it?

The marriage of allies is very particular about status, at least the heirs of relatives at the leader level of both parties.

But Gong Xiaobai has no other relatives except Wu Yaoyan.

So this is puzzling.

Gong Xiaobai was extremely surprised when he heard that the marriage partner was not him, he was relieved and at the same time asked curiously: "Who is that?"

Bi Lisi fidgeted for a while, finally gritted her teeth, pointed at Chen Fang and said, "It's Your Excellency Chen Fang and my mother."

"Ah!" Gong Xiaobai exclaimed in shock.

And Chen Fang jumped up from the sofa.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"
