Huang Baiyan, who was consulting with Zhang Hao, looked at the young secretary who was rushing in excitement with sympathy.
It's been three years, you haven't inquired about those rumors or something?
It is said that there is no airtight wall in the world. The relationship between Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu has been rumored as early as three years ago. The rumor has become more "detailed" and has a nose and eyes in the past three years. Who's that mean?
Huang Baiyan looked at Zhang Hao carefully, and saw that Zhang Hao's face changed slightly, but there was also a hint of joy. Seeing Zhang Hao's rejoicing, Huang Baiyan was excited:
Well, this kid must be Zhang Hao! The Ocean Group will also stabilize in the future.
Zhang Hao took over the newspaper and read it, which was published in the official newspaper "Pearl Daily" of the country of Qixia. Also, such news is generally not dare to be published in newspapers.
Nowadays, there are dozens of various newspapers in the country of Qixia, but there are still only two of the most authoritative newspapers:
Ocean Group's "Ocean Daily" and the official "Pearl Daily".
Zhang Hao folded the newspaper and put it away. He nodded to the secretary and said that he knew it. He asked the secretary to stand next to him and listen to the conversation.
The secretary next to Zhang Hao is not very old, and they are all seeds that have graduated from the'Beidou Academy' in recent years.
Beidou Academy is now seven years old. Among the first batch of students, the oldest is 16 years old. These people have become talents, and even the elite among them can already stand alone. They entered a large number of important departments of the Ocean Group, such as scientific research, management, military, and even the political level of your Ninghe County.
Among them, the particularly outstanding management talents will get an opportunity of'internship with Zhang Hao'. If they study with Zhang Hao for three to five months, they will be airborne to other important departments.
In the past two years, Zhang Hao often kept three to five secretaries around him to deal with different things; and what they mainly learned on Zhang Hao's side was the game between the upper levels of the major forces.
These students are among the first known in the entire world to be fully educated. In addition to their practice, they have learned various aspects of astronomy and geography, physical chemistry, mathematical finance, political law, and management. Choose your own specialty.
The vigorous development of Ocean Group in the past two years is closely related to the infusion of these talents.
These young people are full of vigor and determination.
Zhang Hao and Huang Baiyan continued to discuss, the secretary next to them continued to listen, during which Zhang Hao and Huang Baiyan also asked him a few questions, and finally Huang Baiyan asked Zhang Hao a person-this secretary is very good, just can assist Huang Baiyan management 'Atlantic Group'.
"Are you willing to go?" Zhang Hao asked the secretary beside him.
"Yes!" the other party shouted loudly.
"Then go, let go and do it, don't be afraid of mistakes."
"Yes!"
After the two left, Zhang Hao took out the newspaper again and read it carefully, shaking his head with a smile: Next, it will be a little troublesome.
In fact, Liu Xinyu had a pregnancy reaction as early as four months ago, but his stomach became more apparent recently, but he couldn't hide it.
The child is his own. Zhang Hao is 100% sure that the comprehension is very powerful, he can feel the blood connection with the unborn child, and can already judge that it is a boy.
Standing up and coming to the window, looking at the prosperous city outside, Zhang Hao's heart was confusing.
It has been eight years since I came to this world unconsciously, and now I have my own descendants. This is a joy. But... this matter cannot seem to be made public... and the child can only have the surname "Liu"! The only thing Zhang Hao can do is to take a name: Liu Xinhai
But what makes Zhang Hao even more tangled is that there has been no movement between himself and Zhou Xueyao. The self-cultivator is powerful, but it also seems difficult to breed offspring.
When eating at night, Zhou Xueyao looked at Zhang Hao with a cold face. Fairy Zhou embraced her chest with both hands and leaned against the wall with a sneer. There are only a few glasses of cold water on the table.
The paper can't hold the fire. Zhou Xueyao discovered Zhang Hao's "derailment" three years ago, but today...
After watching for a while, Zhou Xueyao suddenly shed tears.
Zhang Hao suddenly panicked.
Until the middle of the night, Zhang Hao signed numerous unequal treaties, and finally held Zhou Xueyao tightly to sleep.
Afterwards, the interior of Qixia's country boiled for a few days, and things calmed down. After the queen had it, it was always a good phenomenon. Liu Xinyu also publicly stated that it was a boy, and the name had been set: Liu Xinhai.
The word "Xinhai" can be said to be a portrayal of the development of the country of Qixia in recent years. Because of the development of the ocean, the country of Qixia now exists.
This unborn child has been identified as the crown prince.
This matter is crucial to the political stability of Qixia's country. In traditional centralized rule, a stable empire needs a sun and a moon. The sun is the emperor itself; the moon is the crown prince.
After the emperor is there, it is a prerequisite for the stability of a country-at least the civil and military officials, the powerful people, etc. know that even if the emperor is dead, the country will be stable and life will continue.
But in the calm, there was a storm brewing and gradually fermenting.
That is, the war that took place in the Tuozhou, the war between the Holy Torch and the Red Lotus.
Five days after the Queen’s news spread, the war between the Holy Torch Church and the Red Lotus Church came into the eyes of the public. In the past three days, a decisive battle broke out between the two sides at the position of'Liuxha Hebei DC'. It is less than a thousand kilometers from Jiuyang Mountain, the base of the Holy Fire Church!
This has hit the door of the house, and the torch is crazy!
The first crazy move of the torch was to trade the three northern countries to Mingjiao, and among these three countries, it included Jiangxia Guo!
Jiang Xiaguo was promised to the Ocean Group by the red lotus in the form of white gloves and white wolves. Later, the red lotus landed from the north, so that the whole territory of Jiangxia fell.
However, as long as the torch religion has not yet perished, Jiang Xiaguo still belongs to the torch religion in name! And now the torch fire has added Jiang Xiaguo to Mingjiao, and Mingjiao even swallowed it.
Things are suddenly interesting.
After that, Mingjiao gave the torch fire a huge amount of resources. Including... machine guns! The diffusion of industrial technology is very serious, mainly because everyone is not stupid. With the Ocean Group as a reference, three years is enough to change everything.
So a strange and decisive battle broke out.
The Red Lotus itself is very large and powerful, with the support of the Ocean Group behind it.
The torch has been weak, but the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse, and the shelf is still there; there is a strong Mingjiao support behind it-Mingjiao and the torch are in full contact, and the support is very convenient.
So in this contest, there was also a contest between the Ocean Group and Mingjiao.
In the decisive battle that broke out in the northern tributary of the Liusha River, the total number of casualties on both sides exceeded 10 million in three days, and the artillery fire changed the terrain of thousands of miles.
How crazy are these three days?
There was a message published in the official newspaper of Honglianism: In three days, Honglianism fired 8.5 million shells and 120 million bullets. In addition, Fubao used more than 30,000, mobilized more than 15 million legions, and charged 26 times. , Beheading 7.2 million enemies and 1.5 million captives.
Among them, 822 people were enshrined and 116 people were captured.
But the torch fire also published news: in three days, the torch fired 6.7 million shells, 98 million bullets, Fu Bao and other uses up to 100,000, mobilized 13 million legions, charged 18 times, killed 6.1 million enemies, captured More than 2 million.
Among them, 917 people were killed and 83 people were captured.
After the news spread, the whole world of practice was in an uproar. Especially here in the Ocean Group, the West of the Fertile Land and other places.
What you see is not who won, but... the cruelty of the new era!
To be sure, the data on both sides are exaggerated. But even if there is a half-fold, the two sides add up, at least there are thousands of deaths or captives, more than 8 million deaths and injuries!
And this is just a decisive battle.
In fact, before this small decisive battle, the two sides have erupted many times, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
But the most interesting thing, or what makes strategists and wise men even more concerned, is the news behind this decisive battle:
The application of the telegraph changed the battle. In many cases, the war only left head-on collisions;
Iron and steel began to be used in large quantities, and began to replace the black iron on the battlefield;
Soldiers on both sides began to arm a large number of weapons made of steel, including armor, so the number of casualties was reduced;
There is also-in the case of crazy artillery fire, Yuan infants can not guarantee safety on the battlefield.
However, the next day revealed another news: under the influence of Xing Lin Tang, the price of practice resources has dropped sharply in the past three years, so that there has been an outbreak of practice; the most direct change is that this time, the two sides participated in the decisive battle, almost all of them were above the foundation period of!
That is to say, almost all the dead and wounded on the battlefield this time are practitioners above the foundation period!
Such a decisive battle is even more tragic than the confrontation between the Xiaoyao School and Xuanzhenism.
On the battlefield, high mountains were leveled, river valleys were filled, large rivers were diverted, and flooding was inundated. The decisive battle area has become a dead place.
A decisive battle has heralded a new era.
This is the age of industry and capital!
As of now, the war financial report published by the Red Lotus is: 320 million military expenditures of the top grade spirit stone.
The Church of the Holy Torch was not made public, but before and after the Church of the Holy Torch has been'sold' to the Ming Religion in five countries, occupying almost one third of the area of ​​the Church of the Holy Torch.
Instead, Mingjiao released a set of data: Recently, the foreign trade has reached a wealth of 400 million high-grade spirit stones!
Although not all teachings were exported to the Torch of Religion, most of the arms and elixir currently support the Torch.
Counting the consumption of the Holy Torch Church itself, the military expenditure is not less than 300 million.
After these news spread, the whole society was in an uproar.
War is already scary and unfamiliar, and more expensive.
And the storm began. The casualties of the war have caused fierce opposition from the benevolent.
Before the "Atlantic Group" prepared for the first voyage, the head of the Xianyinzong came to the Ocean Group in person!
