IV. [Unexpected Appointments]
Free Planetary Alliance United Front
Marshal Sidney Situley, head of the United Front Of the Free Planetary Confederates, was a prime-aged black man about two meters tall. He doesn't belong to the talented type. However, as an army manager or strategist, he did have two brushes and was quite prestigious. Not putting up official shelves, very popular.
Marshal Sidney Sitley, Head of the United Front Work Department
The position of head of the United Front Work Department was quite lofty, and he was the supreme acting commander of the Allied forces during the war. The Supreme Commander is the President of the Supreme Council of The Heads of State of the Allied Powers, under which the Chairman of the National Defense Commission directs the military and political system, and the United Front Minister directs the military order system.
However, in the Free Planetary Alliance, these two positions may not be good. Because one of them is to command the military and the government, and the other is to carry out military orders, it is difficult to do things without mutual cooperation. If personalities do not coincide and do not give in to each other, it will be difficult for the organization and operation of the army to proceed smoothly. The relationship between Trionisit and Citre is, as mentioned above, in a state of armed neutrality.
As soon as Yang Cai stepped on the duty station, Marshal Sytreet immediately stood up to greet him. When Yang was still in the officer school, the marshal was the principal at the time. He was already a difficult person to deal with at that time.
"Please sit, General Yang 'Shao'."
"Major General..."
After Yang heard the title for himself, he sat down after a moment of surprise. The marshal immediately said straight to the point: "There is something to tell you, the above has decided to promote you to major general, and tomorrow I will officially submit the order to you!" Do you know why you got promoted? ”
"Is it because we lost the battle?"
The marshal listened and couldn't help but laugh. "Your guy is still the same as before, not changing at all. From the officer school, you were an unmotivated guy with a gentle expression but sharp speech. ”
"Really? But I guess that's the way it is! headmaster...... No, it's Your Excellency the Minister. ”
"Why do you think that?"
"The ancient book of soldiers has a cloud: 'An army that has lost a battle should be encouraged.'" We have lost so badly this time, how can we not appease the people's morale? ”
Yang said this casually, and the marshal only smiled bitterly. He crossed his hands and looked at himself as a student. "You're absolutely right. We have suffered defeat this time, and the morale of the people has also been shaken, and if we do not create a hero at this time, it seems difficult to soothe the hearts of the people. And this hero is you! Major General Yang! ”
Yang smiled, but his heart was not very happy.
"I don't think you'll be happy to be deliberately portrayed as a hero, but this can also be said to be a kind of mission for our soldiers!" In fact, you have made a lot of meritorious achievements, and our United Front Work Headquarters and the National Defense Commission are only rewarding meritorious deeds! ”
"Did the Chairman of the National Defense Commission, Trionisit, say anything about this?"
"At this time, the opinion of the individual is no longer important, even the chairman of the committee is the same, everyone must put the public position first."
This is called a principle! On the surface, though, it sounds like this, but hadn't Trionissett privately instigated the Knights of Sorrow to harass him?
"Then again, if we adopt the battle plan you put forward, maybe we will defeat the enemy."
"Hmm! Maybe! ”
Yang answered as carefully as possible. Marshal Citre touched his chin, thoughtful.
"If we have the chance, we should be able to avenge this arrow from Royankram!"
"It also depends on whether he is willing to cooperate." The last time he defeated our army with very few troops, he must have been quite complacent, and if he had planned to attack the crowd with the same strategy, my battle plan would have won, but..."
"But what?"
"But it's unlikely to happen again." Because winning more with less is not the way to use soldiers, it is not a tactic, it can only be said to be a miracle. It was impossible for RoyanKram not to know this, and the next time he attacked, he would definitely lead a large army to come. ”
"It makes sense that the most important thing in the use of troops is that we should have more complete troops than the enemy army." However, laymen still prefer the magic you mention, and even when you have few soldiers and cannot defeat the majority of the enemy army, others will think that you are an incompetent general, not to mention that we have lost to a small number of enemy troops this time..."
The marshal's dark face showed a distressed expression. The government and citizens were quite unforgiving about the defeat.
"Major General Yang, I think the method of our allied troops is wrong after all. Otherwise, why did the enemy have twice as many troops and end up in such a disastrous defeat? ”
"Because our forces are being used incorrectly." Yang answered succinctly. "Regardless of some methods of dispatching troops and reprimanding generals, the mere fact that there are more troops than the enemy is enough to make the army slack. Because there are many people, everyone is very relieved! ”
"Hmm—"
"In this era of rapid radar and electronic engineering, war has developed into a button war. In this era of precision in everything, there are also certain rules for the use of troops, that is, it is necessary to be able to concentrate troops and quickly mobilize troops. To sum it up in one sentence, it is not in vain. Count Royankram was the practitioner of this law. ”
"Looking back at our army, when the Fourth Fleet was crushed by the enemy, the other two fleets were still stuck to the original plan, just a waste of time, and failed to fully reconnoiter the enemy's situation and grasp intelligence. All three fleets were left alone and alone. This is the result of the failure to concentrate forces and move them quickly. ”
This is the most Yang has spoken about these days, and his mood is somewhat excited.
"Indeed, you are right."
The marshal nodded unceasingly.
"I have one more thing to tell you now, which I have long decided, that I will change the organization of the army, merge the remaining Fourth and Sixth Fleets, add some new soldiers, form the Thirteenth Fleet, and appoint you as the first commander."
Yang's neck suddenly froze.
"Isn't it stipulated that the commander of the fleet must be a man above lieutenant general?"
"This new fleet is half the size of the regular fleet, with only six thousand four hundred ships and only seven hundred thousand soldiers. The first task of the Thirteenth Fleet was to attack the fortress of Isheron. ”
The minister's tone was rather firm.
Yang seemed to freeze, and after a while, he came back to his senses and slowly asked, "Is it that the six times attacked with more than three fleets, but six times failed, and there is a permanent fleet of more than fifteen thousand is the isellen fortress?" ”
"Yes!"
"Half the fleet wants to attack Isheron?"
"That's it!"
"Do you think this is possible?"
"If you can't do it, no one else can do it!"
"No one else..." Yang thought he was simply provoking him with words. Since ancient times, how many people have sacrificed themselves to do those impossible things for the sake of this glorious reputation? And those who tout and abet can be completely irresponsible.
Yang was silent.
"Don't you have faith?"
The minister asked Yang, but Yang did not answer. If he hadn't had faith, he would have replied that he didn't. For the attack on Isherlen, Yang has confidence and a chance to win, and believes that he should be able to sweep away the haze of repeated defeats and heavy casualties in the past. He did not answer because he was disgusted by Minister Sytrecht's arrangement.
"If you can lead a new fleet to attack the fortress of Isheren and accomplish great deeds..." Situley looked at Willy Young meaningfully. Regardless of how the Chairman of the National Defence Council of Trionisit thinks of you personally, he will certainly be quite impressed by your talents. ”
Of course, the status of the minister will also be relatively improved, it seems that this is not only the application of strategy, it is more of a political struggle! This minister is really a treacherous giant!
"I'm willing to do my part." Yang answered after thinking about it for a long time.
"Ah! You finally said yes? "Minister Sytrecht seems quite pleased." I will order Kajren to actively prepare the organization and equipment of the new fleet. If you need anything, apply to him and try to be as good as you want. ”
Yang thought to himself, when will he attack? The minister's term of office was seventy days remaining, and in order to seek re-election, he must have hoped that the war against Isheren would end within that term. If the war had taken thirty days, the attack would have been launched after forty days at the latest.
Trionisit did not seem to be opposed to this personnel transfer and battle plan, and he must have thought that it would never be possible to succeed in attacking Isheren with this half of the fleet, and that he would have a reason to openly eliminate Citre and Jan willly. Maybe he's now toasting to Willie's self-digging grave!
Yang Willy, who has just been promoted to major general
But Yang thought in his heart, it is a pity that he will not be able to drink the black tea brewed by Yurian for a while.
