British Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon fortress, conference room.

"I didn't expect Mr. Humphrey's deputy to come in person. To be honest, I was a little surprised."

Sitting in front of Su Cheng was a middle-aged man with half white hair.

"Mr Humphrey was going to come in person. However, the government affairs are too heavy to come to talk with the head in person, so I can only entrust me to talk with the head. "

After that, the middle-aged man took up the black tea on the square table between him and Su Cheng and took a sip of it quietly.

This middle-aged man is yallin Roberts, Humphrey's deputy and second in command of the Northern Territory administration.

In terms of status, it is probably equivalent to Willie, Su Cheng's deputy and the deputy head and second leader of Michael's knights.

Willie is worthy of being a talented and capable subordinate. After returning to Avalon fortress from base 1, he contacted the Northern Territory Department of Baidi city very quickly and beautifully.

The efficiency of the officials of the northern border administration is also commendable. After learning that the head of the Michael knights had something important to discuss with them, they immediately sent important officials to Avalon fortress to take full charge of the negotiations with Su Cheng.

This important minister in charge of negotiating with Su Cheng was really "heavy" enough and directly sent yallin, the second head of the General Administration of Beijing.

It can be seen from this that the Northern Territory Administration... No, it should be said that Humphrey attached great importance to the affairs of the Michael knights. As soon as he heard Su Cheng's request to discuss important matters, he immediately sent the second leader of the Northern Territory administration.

After taking a sip of the black tea in the cup, yallin put the black tea down: "then, your excellency, let's go straight to the theme. I don't know what important matter your excellency needs to discuss with our northern border administration."

"Something very important."

Su Cheng is not the kind of person who likes to talk politely, so he doesn't say any superfluous nonsense anymore. He directly passes a piece of paper full of words and sentences prepared long ago to Yalin.

"I intend to strengthen the food of the army. I hope the food of the generals and soldiers of the Michael knights can meet the standards written on this paper. Therefore, I hope that the northern border administration can strengthen the food rationing of the knights in the future. "

"Strengthen food?"

Yallin passed the paper from Su Cheng's hand, and then began to look at it quickly.

Yallin, who is familiar with government affairs, is naturally familiar with fast reading.

After quickly reading what was written on the paper in hand, yallin frowned.

"Your Excellency, excuse me for being rude. The food standard written on this paper is too harsh, isn't it? One porridge, two dry meals a day, and more meat. Even if the central government has tilted a lot of resources to the Michael knights, our financial and material resources are limited. "

"I understand. If the food of the soldiers of the regiment is raised to the standard written on this paper, it will bring great financial pressure. But as long as the strength of the knights is reduced, it should be able to sustain it? "

"Reduce troops?"

"Yes. Although the central government intends to restore the military strength of the Michael knights to 200000, after my consideration, I think the Michael Knights do not need so many military strength. The Michael Knights only need 120000 military strength, which is enough to maintain the northern front and even launch a counterattack against the holy Hiram empire. "

"120000... Isn't the number of troops too small..."

"No. Let me confess that I am a loyal supporter of the "elite doctrine". Compared with 200000 weak soldiers who eat every day, I want 120000 elite soldiers with excellent food and weapons. "

Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused for a moment and then continued:

"If there were only 120000 people in the Michael knights, even such strict food standards should be able to support it?"

Although Su Cheng's words are interrogative sentences, their tone is affirmative.

Because Su Cheng is sure that with the resources tilted by the central government and the capacity of the northern border administration, if it is only 120000 troops, even with such strict food standards, the northern border administration can support it.

"I have issued a proposal to the central government to 'change the military plan of the Michael Knight Order and reduce the military strength of the Michael Knight order to 120000'. I believe the central government should and will be happy to listen to my proposal as the head of the Michael Knight order."

The head of the Knights' regiment has great real power and controls the management and command of the whole Knights' regiment, but he is also subject to great restrictions.

Although nominally speaking, the head of the order does hold the management power of the whole regiment, this management power is incomplete.

Many of the rights of the Knights are not owned by Su Cheng. If Su Cheng touches them, he will commit taboo rights.

For example, Su Cheng is not in charge of the judicial power of the Knights. The judicial power of the Michael Knights belongs to the Michael Branch of the military justice department. Su Cheng usually does not even have the ability to arrest or punish an ordinary soldier who has violated the military law. Only the people of the military Justice Department are qualified to arrest and punish generals who have violated the military law.

Su Cheng is not in charge of the logistics of the Knights. The logistics of the Michael knights are under the control of the Northern Territory administration. Su Cheng only has the right to receive and verify the baggage deployed by the northern border administration.

Su Cheng doesn't take charge of many major events of the Knights. For example, the expansion and disarmament of the Knights are under the central management. If Su Cheng intends to expand the size of the knights or reduce the size of the knights, he must obtain the consent of the central government.

After hearing Su Cheng's big words, Yalin was silent.

Looking at the paper in his hand, he nodded after thinking for a long time.

"I understand. If the size of the knights is only 120000, the food standard will be financially sustainable. When the officer returns to Betty City, the officer will report to Mr. Humphrey as soon as possible. The lower officer can promise to your Excellency: after obtaining the approval of Mr. Humphrey, we will immediately start preparing to adjust the food allocation plan for your regiment. However, if the central committee rejects your regiment's compression plan, we will immediately stop the adjustment of food allocation and keep the food of your regiment's generals at the original level. "

"Thank you very much. Well, let's talk about the adjustment of food standards first. Let's discuss other more important things. "

"More important things?"

"Well, yes, it doesn't matter if the food doesn't improve the standard. After all, the original food is OK. But this matter is very serious and must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise many excellent soldiers will die because of this avoidable thing. "

Although he doesn't know what Su Cheng is talking about, from Su Cheng's tone and content, Yalin can hear that Su Cheng's next words are not trivial.

"Your Excellency, please tell me what it is." Yallin's expression also became serious.

Su Cheng took the medical records put aside.

"This is the illness record and treatment record of our Michael knights in the past six months. Please have a look first. "

Yallin took the medical record from Su Cheng's hand as fast as he could. As his eyes crossed from the above words and sentences, yallin's face gradually became more ugly.

"It's terrible." When Yalin browsed the medical records, Su Cheng said, "I really didn't see or know. I was surprised that so many generals had 'bed sickness' and died."
