After receiving the meal, the two sat down and chatted while eating. Li Songchen said: "Our next goal is to attack Shandong. When will the fight start?"

Gao Jun said: "This month is probably impossible. I guess it will be next month, because the current situation may not be able to last for a long time. Therefore, we must take advantage of our current advantages to capture Shandong within the year, and at least occupy a part of Shandong. Before imperialism responds, we will cause things to be decided and establish a stable base."

It is not a secret that the Time Travel Group wants to enter Shandong and establish a base in Shandong. Time Travelers can discuss it privately at will. After all, Gao Jun is still a military member, so he has his own judgment on this.

At this time, Li Songchen's heart moved and said, "If Shandong is captured, then will we, institutions like the Interim Executive Committee and the Executive Yuan, all of us, have to move to Shandong? Of course, the name of the Interim Executive Committee may be cancelled and replaced with a formal authority."

Gao Jun said: "It should be so. After all, Tianjin is too close to Beijing, so there is little room for maneuver and the population base is limited. It is not a place with development prospects. The development space in Shandong is much greater. Therefore, after conquering Shandong, it will definitely move the closer to Shandong. However, it is not good to settle in that city. Jinan, Qingdao, and Yantai are all possible, so you can only wait until you have a firm foothold in Shandong."

Li Songchen bowed his head and said, "If our center of gravity moves to Shandong, what should we do in Tianjin? Will we give up?"

Gao Jun shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this yet, but according to my opinion, the Executive Committee should not give up Tianjin easily. First, Tianjin was taken back by us from the Eight-Nation Alliance. If we give up easily, it will be a serious blow to our morale and the prestige of the Executive Committee. Second, although Tianjin is not suitable for development as a base, it is the gateway to Beijing, the estuary of the Haihe River, and its strategic location is still very important. In addition, Tianjin is also one of the most developed cities in China in this era, and the maritime circulation is very prosperous. Therefore, as a city we directly manage, it is still possible. I think the Executive Committee will never give up Tianjin unless it has great interests to exchange it."

Li Songchen was a little surprised when he heard this. If these ideas were really Gao Jun’s personal opinion, then Ming Ming was a person with a very smart and overall awareness, not just a technical captain officer.

In fact, although Gao Jun was a soldier in the old time and space, except for his major, he was not interested in military and national affairs. On the contrary, he pursued some talent and was a typical technical girl. Of course, with Gao Jun's technical level, whether in the army or after his career, it was enough to ensure her quality of life. But after time travel, Gao Jun's technology became a dragon-slaying skill, and reality forced Gao Jun to transform to ensure that he could have a place in this era.

Of course, Gao Jun did not have the ambition of traveling through time and confusing the harems of his predecessors. He just hoped that in this time and space, he could ensure his quality of life and his status in the time and travel group according to his own abilities, just like in the old time and space. Therefore, Gao Jun changed his character of a technical girl. On the one hand, he actively organized the female army, and on the other hand, he also worked hard to make up for the history of this era, as well as military, political and other knowledge, and actively asked Qin Zheng for advice. Moreover, Gao Jun is a very smart person after all. After more than twenty days of grinding, Gao Jun's knowledge and experience are also very different from before traveling through time and has his own opinions.

She and Li Songchen were also familiar with each other, so they involuntarily expressed their ideas. After that, Gao Jun realized that she seemed to be a little too much and said, "This is just my personal opinion, not the opinion of the Executive Committee, but what do you think?"

Li Songchen smiled and said, "It's good. My thoughts are similar to yours. We will never give up Tianjin easily. Therefore, even if we re-moved to Shandong, we will probably set up a separate urban administrative district in Tianjin and leave some people to manage Tianjin."

Gao Jun turned his head and felt quite proud. It seemed that his bad mistakes these days were not in vain. He had some clear judgment on the current situation, but at this moment, Gao Jun's mind suddenly flashed and said, "You shouldn't want to stay and be the mayor of Tianjin, and you don't want to be the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture."

Li Songchen smiled and said, "What do you think is it better to stay and be the mayor of Tianjin, or to follow the Executive Committee to go to Shandong to continue to be my Minister of Agriculture?"

Gao Jun suddenly became interested. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "I think these two paths have their own advantages and disadvantages, but it is better not to tell which path."

Li Songchen said: "You have to see what are the pros and cons."

Gao Jun thought, and said, "If you stay in Tianjin as mayor, you can be the top leader in this area. This is also considered to be 'rather than ox tail'. In addition, Tianjin is a relatively developed region in China in this era. We have a period of operation here, so we should have a good foundation and be easier to achieve results. These should be advantages, while disadvantages are far away from the central government and have limited room for development. Even if we have outstanding political achievements in Tianjin, we will be promoted to work in the central government in the future, but everything will have to start from scratch. We don't know how much time it takes to make a comeback."

Li Songchen laughed and said, "It's very good, so what about going to Shandong? What are the pros and cons?"

Gao Jun said: "It should be the opposite of Tianjin. Anyway, this is my opinion. What do you think? Tell me what you think, you can't just leave me alone."

Li Songchen said: "You just detailed the pros and cons of staying in Tianjin, and I don't have anything to add, so I'll go to Shandong. If I go to Shandong with the Executive Committee and of course I'll still be the Minister of Agriculture, of course, it seems that it would be more glorious than the mayor of Tianjin, because according to the Chinese concept, even if the level is the same, the central officials will be one level higher than the local officials. But now the Ministry of Administration has established nine departments and seven departments ready to be established, and other departments may be established in the future. There must be a fierce competition between so many departments together, and you will probably know the activities of various departments during this period."

Gao Jun raised his head and smiled, "I know a little."

Li Songchen said: "So it is much more difficult to achieve some achievements in the central government than local governments, because there are many constraints and too many restrictions. Sometimes we have to compromise and exchange interests with other departments. On the other hand, although our systems are not yet fully established, as we have established a stable base in Shandong, it will definitely be gradually improved. The positions of officials will definitely not be a lifetime system, and the provincial and ministerial levels are at a very high level, and the room for promotion is extremely limited. At most, it is to transfer the same level, change the department and do another round, and even if you don't retreat, you will be sent to the local government to work, and there is basically no chance to return to the central government. Therefore, it is better to make some achievements in the local government first, and at the same time accumulate more work experience, and then go to the central government to work. Even if you start over, it is better."

Gao Jun heard this and thoughtful, saying, "If you think so, there is a certain reason."

In fact, there are some things that Li Songchen is not easy to express, because in the old time and space, the leaders of the country attached great importance to local management experience. They often needed to work in local areas for more than ten years and served as top leaders at the county, city and province levels. After all, China is too large and has a large population. It is necessary to accumulate enough political and management experience in local areas to become a national leader before it can manage such a large country. In addition, when working in local areas, you can slowly cultivate your own team, and only after becoming a national leader in the future will someone be able to use it. After all, there are not many reliable people, and no matter how capable they are, they cannot do anything.

Of course, the Time Travel Group is still in its initial stage and cannot be considered a country. Currently, officials at all levels are basically promoted directly from the common people in the old time and space. However, the actual control of the Time Travel Group is only one Tianjin City. Even if it occupys Shandong next, it is just a province. In terms of population and area, Shandong Province is not a big province in China. Therefore, there are no local officials in the Time Travel Group now. Moreover, officials at all levels can gradually accumulate experience in governing the country with development, and do not value local work experience.

However, as the power of the Time Travel Group expands, a large number of local officials will definitely be needed. After the Time Travel Group is gradually nationalized, various systems, management and administrative departments will gradually be improved. Then local work experience will become more and more important and will definitely become an important condition for promotion to the leadership level.

In the current time travel group, the five permanent members are equivalent to the highest leaders, but the five are all under 50 years old, and they are very young in politics. Generally speaking, if there is no major accident, there will be no big changes. In the end, two to three people will be added. However, Li Songchen probably has little chance. Therefore, in a short period of time, if he stays in the central government, he will not have much room for promotion. It is better to stay in the local area first. On the one hand, he will accumulate work experience and political achievements, and be at the level of sufficient connections. On the other hand, he will also prepare for the future promotion to the central government.

This does not mean that Li Songchen has been aiming at the position of the leader from now on, but he is prepared for any trouble and lays his own foundation first and can only grasp it when he has the opportunity. Of course, there is no way to deal with Gao Jun now.
