"General Jiang, hello. Wait a moment, and I'll send you a blueprint. You can build the barracks according to the blueprint. Why did you choose to pay in full? My soldiers are only five hundred, but they are quite expensive."
Jiang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Liang Wan was relatively polite in her speech, not as overbearing as he had imagined. That was true, she only had a bad temper, not bad manners.
Jiang Ye became decisively hypocritical: "Jiang Ye Star is a poor place, and it's really hard for the soldiers to be stationed here. If the military has to pay, I'll feel guilty. Besides, you are here to help Music City develop smoothly and safely, so I should pay the expenses. Moreover, the army is currently intensifying its attacks on the Mir people, with daily expenses of hundreds of millions of gold. As a member of humanity, I must contribute money and effort to reduce the burden on the military at this critical juncture, and it is my bounden duty!"
Liang Wan did not stand on ceremony and sent a file.
Jiang Ye clicked to open it. It was a design sketch of a military base, requiring it to be built within three kilometers of Music City.
The scale of the base was not large, with four hundred double dormitories, an underground spaceship hangar, an arsenal, and a military hospital, totaling about the size of two middle schools.
Liang Wan: "This is the standard base for the military's external stationed troops. You can refer to it for construction. If you want to make any changes, please send me the modified base blueprint."
Jiang Ye: "Okay, I'll send it to the construction company to take a look. I'll send it to you immediately if there are any changes."
Switching out of the chat interface, Jiang Ye directly activated the holographic projection and made a video call to Xu Yan. Important matters must be discussed face-to-face.
The call was connected in two seconds.
Xu Yan was sitting in her office, wearing a white sheer gauze off-the-shoulder nightgown, her curves tantalizingly visible, so hot it made one's nose bleed. Every time Jiang Ye saw Xu Yan looking so beautiful, he repeatedly wondered why she couldn't find a boyfriend.
"I'm sending you a military camp blueprint. This is what a regiment sent by the military to station in Music City needs," Jiang Ye said. "Take a look, how can we make it more luxurious?"
"Make it more luxurious?" Xu Yan clicked on the screen and opened the military camp blueprint. "Does this regiment need to be flattered?"
"It's not wrong to flatter them a bit. If they are comfortable, Music City will still be under my control," Jiang Ye said with a smile.
"Let me see. This military camp is not luxurious at all, it's very conventional," Xu Yan said, reaching out and clicking on the holographic projection. The 3D image of the military camp rotated and changed, and Jiang Ye's view changed synchronously, making it clear at a glance.
"First of all, these double dormitories are too shabby, and the bathhouse is still communal," Xu Yan said, and the blueprint changed rapidly. "The area of each dormitory is expanded from 30 square meters to 80 square meters. The two single beds are replaced with two double beds. The mattresses are double-layered, one hard and one soft. The balconies are enlarged, the radiators are doubled, and the central air conditioning is replaced with individual indoor air conditioners. Finally, the bathrooms are slightly enlarged to include a bathtub and a shower, with both a squat toilet and a sitting toilet, so they can choose freely what they like to use."
The volume of the dormitory buildings suddenly expanded several times.
Jiang Ye nodded, "Sounds good, continue."
"The食堂 is too small. Such a small食堂 can only make home-style dishes. It will be changed from two floors to four floors, with one floor added above ground and one floor added underground, doubling the area," Xu Yan continued. "All kinds of cooking equipment will be installed, and the Manchu Han Imperial Feast can also be made."
"Good!" Jiang Ye nodded vigorously. The食堂 was crucial. If people ate well, it could dispel a lot of negative emotions, and foodies might even fall in love with a place because of a few dishes.
Although Liang Wan's troops had few cooks, Jiang Ye could send some cooks from his own troops, or even dig up chefs from high-end hotels and luxury restaurants to assist.
He had already planned to allocate special funds for the food of Liang Wan's regiment, providing 24-hour access to all kinds of dishes, desserts, and drinks, according to the standard of a five-star hotel buffet, striving to make all of Liang Wan's soldiers fat within a few months. Those who eat from your hand are reluctant to criticize you. These soldiers should not speak ill of Jiang Ye Star in their year-end reports.
"Can we add a swimming pool?" Xu Yan reached out and pulled on the open space of the military camp, and the entire military camp expanded. "Let's add a lake too, it will be cooler in the summer, and the scenery will be nice. We can also go fishing and hold swimming competitions."
"Yes," Jiang Ye nodded decisively, then suddenly remembered something and added, "Design the regimental commander's office specifically!"
"That's a given," Xu Yan enlarged the military camp buildings, found the regimental commander's office, and directly stretched it horizontally, expanding the area from 50 square meters to 500 square meters. Then she clicked rapidly, adding various details: wool carpets, a giant redwood desk, an arsenal cabinet, an honor wall, crocodile leather sofas, a golden bathtub, a golden toilet...
The small text next to it automatically summarized the budget for this room, which quickly exceeded 6 million. The bathtub and toilet made of gold-plated copper alone cost three million. This money was only for interior decoration and furniture, not including construction materials. It was extremely luxurious.
"Uh... change the faucets in the soldiers' dormitories to gold-plated ones," Jiang Ye had a sudden idea.
"No problem," Xu Yan clicked lightly, and small golden dots lit up in the densely packed dormitories.
"Let's expand the hangar and arsenal by half," Xu Yan said. "But don't increase the number of locations, so it will be more spacious and won't accommodate more armed forces."
"Okay," Jiang Ye nodded.
They discussed for more than half an hour.
Jiang Ye felt it was almost enough. Although it wasn't the ultimate luxury, it could indeed be called luxurious.
He opened the chat interface and sent the modified military camp blueprint to Liang Wan.
As soon as it was sent, the file was received.
Jiang Ye waited silently for Liang Wan's approval.
One minute, three minutes, five minutes...
Jiang Ye felt a little nervous. Why wasn't she saying anything?
Finally, Liang Wan replied, "What is this?"
Jiang Ye: "The modified military camp blueprint."
Liang Wan: "This is a military camp??"
Jiang Ye was sweating profusely. What was wrong? Did this regimental commander advocate asceticism and reject the trend of indulgence, not wanting a more luxurious residence?
Jiang Ye: "Where do you think... is inappropriate?"
Liang Wan: "This is a bit too extravagant, isn't it? Our troops don't have much money. We were newly formed last year and are very poor. I have never heard of this specification! We can't even afford the utility bills! The食堂 is so large, and I don't have that many cooks."
Jiang Ye: "I'll pay for everything. Your troops don't need to spend a penny, just live here. I'll cover the utility bills and maintenance fees. If there aren't enough people in the食堂, I'll send cooks from my troops."
Liang Wan: "This... are there no extra requirements?? That's too kind of you, you're too polite!"
According to Li Nannan, Liang Wan was usually straightforward and quick-tempered, but at this moment, she was unusually coy, showing her feminine side. It wasn't that her personality had changed drastically; it was just that this military camp plan was too luxurious. At first, she didn't even recognize it as a military camp and thought it was a star-rated hotel. The host built such a palace-like place with great generosity before she even arrived, which truly overwhelmed her.
Jiang Ye felt the joy of spending money to his heart's content.
You're feeling embarrassed now, aren't you?
It's right to feel embarrassed!
Come here and enjoy a leisurely vacation, be a pampered soldier, and don't meddle in other people's business. It's good for you, and it's good for me!
Following others, you'll starve nine meals out of ten in three days!
Following Brother Jiang, life has taste!
