In the Chongqing Capital of Sichuan Prefecture, in the headquarters conference room, Lao Li and Zheng Gan who arrived later sat down together, Qi Lin took the lead in speaking: "There is a very important thing. Meng Xi and Commander-in-Chief Lin in Yanbei contacted me. They asked our Sichuan Prefecture to send troops to officially enter the Eighth District. There are not too many troops, mainly to show our attitude and determination to support the Lin Group. I personally agree with this matter. Xiao Yu is missing and the Eighth District has been in turmoil. We should stand firmly on the side of our allies at this time."

After the words came, the conference room was silent and no one answered this.

"What do you think?" Qi Lin waited for a while before asking everyone.

Old Li pondered for a while, and interjected first, saying, "I think it's not appropriate to send troops now."

Qi Lin looked at him: "Why?"

"The current situation in the eighth district is not clear at the moment, and Xiao Yu is missing, and we have no one in charge now, so it takes a certain amount of time for the Sichuan Mansion to sort out the internal problems. Before the family matters have been resolved, we rashly mobilize the troops. This is irrational." Lao Li replied with full reason.

"What about?" Qi Lin asked.

"For example, we should vote for the acting commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army first." Old Li said with a serious expression: "The government affairs office is fine. It will be operated according to the previous model for the time being, and there will be no problems, but the troops cannot do so. The three armies must have a chief general to make a decision. Otherwise, once the war in the eighth districts affects the Sichuan Palace, we will not be able to let the generals of each army discuss the war."

Fu Zhenguo next to the first seat, heard Lao Li's words, immediately nodded and said, "Yes, the matters in the army are not as good as those in the local area. The three armies must have a commander."

If someone else had just come to Sichuan Mansion and had no powerful direct troops, he would definitely not speak rashly at this meeting, because if a sentence is wrong, he might be labeled as a faction. But Fu Zhenguo is different. He doesn't care about this, but has already expressed his views from the perspective of the interests of Sichuan Mansion.

"Uncle Li, I'll say a few words." Lin Nianlei thought about it and then interrupted.

"You said." Old Li nodded.

"I personally think that the sending troops into the Eighth District will not affect our selection of the acting commander-in-chief." Lin Nianlei said in a bright voice and a steady tone: "Commander Qi just now also said that the Lin team asked our troops to enter the city, mainly to show the attitude and determination of the Sichuan Provincial Government to all parties. The scale of the troops entering the city does not need to be too large, and there is no need to carry out any military activities in the Eighth District. Therefore, these two matters do not conflict. The commander can continue to be elected, and the troops should be sent first."

After hearing this, Lao Li shook his head: "Supporting the Eighth District is a military attitude, but now we don't have the commander-in-chief, so this attitude cannot be easily expressed by the Sichuan Mansion. My personal attitude is to first select the acting commander-in-chief, and then he will decide whether to send troops or not, and formulate the future military plan for the Sichuan Mansion. In this kind of use of troops, everyone cannot sit down and discuss together, and there must be one person in charge."

"Uncle Li, you should pay attention to our relationship with the Lin family and the Gu family. They need our support now." Lin Nianlei emphasized.

Old Li glanced at Lin Nianlei and said lightly: "Leilei, let me say it bluntly. The Lin family is your parents' home, so some of the decisions you make must be affected by emotional factors. From the perspective of Sichuan Mansion, we should look at problems more rationally and objectively, and not emotionally. Because this is related to our personal interests, even life and death."

Lao Li's words made Lin Nianlei speechless. Although what he said was very tactful, the meaning was expressed clearly enough.

That is, this is an internal meeting of Sichuan Province. Don’t help Lin Shi speak here and attract resources.

The already a bit dull and depressing meeting became more serious and confrontational after Lao Li and Lin Nianlei had a few tit-for-tat conversations.

After a brief silence, Lin Nianlei suddenly said: "I also agree to elect the acting commander-in-chief and recommend Commander Qi Lin to this position. Whether in terms of qualifications, ability, or influence, he deserves it."

"Today is an internal meeting. If you want to discuss a result, everyone must speak freely." Old Li turned his pen and said expressionlessly: "I have different opinions on the candidate for the acting commander-in-chief. I recommend Li Zhan as the acting commander-in-chief. This is entirely due to balancing the military and political relations between all parties. After all, Li Commander has been in the Ninth District for more than a year. He is more familiar with the military and political upper-level staff there and is easy to make correct judgments.

As soon as these words were said, the room became quieter. Fu Zhenguo held his shoulders and said nothing; Li Zhan held his chin, and could not see any changes in his emotions; and Xiang Ruan Ming, Xiaobai, Qi Yuming, Xun Chengwei and others were all silent as if they were mute.

There were major differences in the Sichuan Mansion regarding the candidate for the acting commander-in-chief, especially between Lao Li and Lin Nianlei, which obviously had a certain degree of fire.

The first lady of Sichuan Mansion, all of the two proposals she said were rejected.

After Lao Li and Lin Nianlei expressed their opinions, everyone did not dare to rush to express their opinions and were saying some mixed words, so the meeting ended in an unhappy manner.

During this period, there was an interesting phenomenon, that is, Lao Mao did not express any opinions from beginning to end. Although Zheng Qian was here, he did not say a word throughout the whole process. He just sat there and expressed an attitude.

...

After the meeting.

Lin Nianlei and Qi Lin left together, and the two got into the car, and the latter said first: "I'll talk to Laomao and Uncle Li."

"I don't think it's useless." Lin Nianleid replied with a frown: "He has made a public statement at the meeting, so it's even more impossible to get any results with you in private. I personally think that Uncle Li is coming back this time to get Li Zhan."

Qi Lin frowned when he heard this.

"My grandfather said that things at the decision-making level cannot be discussed." Lin Nianlei said in a trembling voice: "Okay... Fortunately, before Xiaoyu disappeared, Meng Xi asked her to deal with the family issues of the Sichuan Mansion, so no one within us dared to jump out and do anything. But... but this matter must not be delayed, because Xiao... it is hard to say when Xiaoyu will have news. If it is delayed, it is likely to raise up the family issues that have been suppressed again."

"I have this worry too." Qi Lin glanced at Leilei's side face and nodded with complicated eyes.

"Don't express your opinion first, you don't need to talk to anyone, and you can't break up with the core general." Lin Nianlei looked at him and said, "I'll solve this problem."

"You?" Qi Lin asked in amazement: "Can you...?!"

"I'll try." Lin Nianlei knew that the other party didn't believe that she could handle such a big thing, so she immediately replied: "Don't worry, I won't let the person lose control."

"Okay." Qi Lin had a lot of words in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only nod in the end.

...

That night.

Lin Nianlei returned home and personally put on clothes for her son and the girl.

"Mom, I don't want to wear such thick clothes...I want to wear sportswear..." The boy Yi didn't know that his own father had been lost, and he had already gone to bed, but he was suddenly woken up by Lin Nianlei, which was a bit terrible.

"Obe obedient, mom wants to take you to the general's uncle's house. It's very cold outside. You have to wear thick clothes..." Lin Nianlei squatted on the ground and helped her son tie the buttons.

"Mom, I'm sleepy, I don't want to go."

"As aware, wear it quickly."

"I don't wear it, I won't go, I won't go..."

"Stand up! Let me tie the buttons for you!!" Lin Nianlei suddenly stood up, pointed at her son with red eyes and shouted: "Don't make noise, do you understand?"

The boy looked at his mother's fierce expression and immediately stayed there. He had never seen his mother lose her composure.

My husband is missing, there is a problem within the Sichuan Mansion, and District 8 is waiting for his news again. All these pressures are now being carried on Lin Nianlei.

The collapse of an adult woman may be in a moment.

Lin Nianlei took a while, reached out to wipe the corners of her eyes, bent down again to help her son put on his clothes.

...

An hour later, Xun Chengwei personally opened the door of his house. As soon as he looked up, he saw Lin Nianlei and led his two children to stand in front of him.

"Minister Lin...Minister Lin, hurry up, please come in!" Xun Chengwei immediately gave up his position after being shocked.

at the same time.
