Doomsday Code

Chapter 843 New Military Intelligence

Although Beicheng attacked the invading enemy, it did not cause any trouble to the production and life of the residents of Beicheng.

However, martial law is still in effect throughout the North City today.

Chen Cheng came from the desert town to the only big city in this base.

Although it is a big city, it can be seen from the layout of the buildings in the city that it is still very desolate.

As for the martial law order issued by the city lord Duolong, Chen Cheng did not say much. He went to the city lord's mansion to meet Duolong. After affirming Duolong's changes, he also encouraged him.

"I'm sorry to bother you this time. Bourne has written a work report for you. Thank you for your cooperation with our work. I'll have to trouble you to take care of the government affairs of this base in the future."

Chen Cheng's words were not only encouragement, but also a reassurance to Duolong.

When Duolong saw Chen Cheng, his eyes were filled with tears. When he heard Chen Cheng's affirmation of him, he nodded repeatedly to show that he would never let Chen Cheng down.

After the two men met, Chen Cheng's main purpose of coming this time was still for military matters, so Duolong did not accompany him, but went to handle official business.

“He’s changed a lot.”

Chen Cheng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said to Bourne beside him.

"Indeed, his thinking has changed significantly, but he still has some baggage in his heart. However, after Your Majesty meets with him this time, I believe that the burden in his heart will be lighter."

“We need to do a good job of reforming, and we must also give opportunities to those old bureaucrats and aristocrats who are capable of completing the reform.

Our revolutionary work also requires us to learn to distinguish between enemies, those who must be eliminated, those who must be won over, and those who can be revitalized through transformation. These must all be determined."

After taking charge of the leadership work for more than half a year, Chen Cheng has become more and more mature, and at the same time, his admiration for the sages of the previous lives has become deeper.

"This part is still under investigation and discussion, but I believe that there will be a conclusion soon."

Bourne replied.

Chen Cheng nodded, and then said:

"After the battle report comes in, I will write a document and you can use it to discuss this matter."

Chen Cheng understood very well that if Rusov was defeated this time, the base would inevitably expand in the future. As the territory grew, there would be more corresponding things.

Especially the original local bureaucrats and nobles, how to deal with them became a key issue.

As I said, it is not feasible to talk about equality to ordinary people in this era, so it is necessary to make some distinctions when dealing with the problems of aristocrats and bureaucrats at this time.

Some people who have committed truly heinous crimes must be punished according to law, and the common people at the bottom will not have any opinion about the death of these people.

As for some aristocratic bureaucrats who originally had a good reputation, of course, their reputation was based on other more brutal aristocrats, and in the eyes of Chen Cheng and others, they were still reactionary.

Moreover, these aristocratic bureaucrats are often not small aristocrats, but big aristocrats.

But at this time we need to analyze specific problems specifically and cannot simply generalize.

Because this will inevitably cause those people who think that these aristocratic bureaucrats are good to misunderstand them.

Therefore, the treatment of these people is the part that Chen Cheng said could be accepted for reform.

There is also a part that truly abides by the original aristocratic spirit and treats their subjects well. This part is the one we need to win over.

Just as Chen Cheng was thinking about the future development of the base, Modong personally delivered the latest battle report.

When seeing the results of the battle above, Bourne was even more excited than Chen Cheng, and he slammed the table and stood up excitedly.

"it is good."

His "OK" shook the eaves of the City Lord's Mansion and almost shook the tiles off the eaves.

Chen Cheng shook his head and smiled, then continued to read the detailed battle report at the back.

Chen Cheng had anticipated such a result, so he was not as excited as Bourne, but he was also very happy in his heart at this moment.

"Don't be so excited. We've already predicted a victory like this before the war. Don't just focus on the victory. We also need to look at the shortcomings of our army today."

Chen Cheng then pointed to the battle report describing the vomiting and depressed mood of the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield:

"Our soldiers still have some shortcomings. They can't stand the bloodshed on the battlefield. This is unacceptable.

Fortunately, this was long-distance firepower delivery, and we had a clear picture of the enemy. They were like living targets, but many of them could not accept it.

Then when the real frontal battle comes, it will collapse at the first touch."

Bourne also stopped smiling excitedly and frowned when he saw the description of the soldiers in the battle report.

"Okay, the battle report has arrived. We won't bother you any more here to avoid disturbing others while they're working."

Chen Cheng stood up and said.

At this time, Murdon handed over another intelligence report:

"According to the intelligence sent back by our spies in the Northern Wasteland, at the same time as the Second, Third, and Eighth Legions were heading towards the base, the remaining five legions under Rusov's command also set out. However, they were not moving in our direction, but heading south."

When Chen Cheng heard this information, his brows really furrowed.

He took the information, sat down and opened it.

The intelligence detailed Rusov's army and his movements. Shortly after the Second, Third and Eighth Corps set out, Rusov led all his remaining forces south.

After reading the information, Chen Cheng looked at Mo Dong and said:

"Is there anything big happening in the southern part of the Ferdow Kingdom?"

Mo Dong shook his head and said:

"I don't know yet. Our intelligence department is short-staffed and we can't expand beyond the Northern Wasteland right now."

After hearing Modong's answer, Chen Cheng did not get angry or blame him, because this was a practical problem.

"Send some men to follow the main army, and send others south to find out the purpose of Rusov's actions. Also, keep an eye on Rusov to see if he will lead his troops back after receiving news of the complete annihilation of the three legions."

“Also, keep an eye on the Ferdow royal family.”

"Yes."

Mo Dong accepted the order.

Chen Cheng nodded and said:

"I understand the current difficulties faced by the Intelligence Department. I will increase investment in the department. In the future, the department needs to achieve more."

Chen Cheng was very aware of the importance of intelligence, and this time, facing the threat of Rusov's army, the Intelligence Department made a significant contribution.

After Murdon left, Chen Cheng and Bourne also said goodbye to Doron.

Duolong also knew that Chen Cheng and his men were busy with urgent military affairs, so he did not try to keep them.

"You do your best. When the war is over, I'll have to come back to bother you. Don't mind me coming here to eat and drink for free."

Chen Cheng said to Duolong with a smile.
