Wu Feng, who had rushed back from Xikang Mansion overnight, sat coldly in the middle seat. The atmosphere in the meeting hall became unprecedentedly depressing, so depressing that it was almost suffocating. He had only been out for a month, and the situation in the north suddenly changed. After a day, Li Wufeng tried his best to keep himself restrained and calm. He could accept the reality of failure, but he needed to examine what caused this unfavorable situation. If it was his fault, he felt that he He should reflect on himself. If it is the fault of his subordinate departments, then he also needs to use thunderous means to rectify some inefficient departments.
Everyone attending the meeting had already arrived, except for the director of legal affairs, Morun, who arrived late until the last moment, which once again attracted everyone's attention. Everyone has already known the topic of this meeting. In a word, someone needs to take responsibility for the sudden change in the situation in the north. What exactly caused the earth-shaking change in the situation? Perhaps someone should indeed be responsible for this. No one from the Government Affairs Office or the Foreign Affairs Office attended the meeting. Obviously this was a meeting involving military secrets. Instead, the Director of the Legal Affairs Department, who never participated in such meetings, was present. Is it really necessary to bring the person responsible to justice and hand it over to the court? Judgment? Almost all participants had a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Everyone, the agenda of today's meeting is very simple. It is to review the series of unfavorable military situations that have occurred in Western Xinjiang recently. I think it is necessary for us to review our work during this period, especially the military deployment. Whether the deployment and arrangements and the operation of the intelligence department have provided sufficient information support for our military departments. Let me reiterate that today is not a show of merit. Do not use any objective reasons to explain the difficulties we are encountering at this stage. What we need is Find out the crux of the problem, improve working methods, and prevent us from encountering such unacceptable low-level failures in our later military operations!"
Wu Feng's voice was low, which seemed to indicate that today's meeting would definitely not be pleasant, and someone might be punished. However, Ling Tianfang, Director of the Military Affairs Administration, and Mi Feng, Director of the Military Justice Department, were no different from usual. Judging from his expression, there was no sign of any trouble.
"Tian Fang. Please analyze the reasons for the recent series of defeats in our northern war. Mi Feng, you should focus on whether these reasons are related to the negligence of our various departments. If malfeasance is involved, then I would like to ask Molun and your legal department The department should also intervene." The expressionless Wu Feng kicked off the reflection meeting with a dry opening statement.
"Well, according to the instruction of His Highness, the Staff Department of the Military Affairs Administration has focused on analyzing the recent series of defeats in our northern theater. Although wars are inherently victorious and victorious are commonplace for military strategists, we should analyze the reasons for the defeats in wars. As a result, what kind of lessons should we learn from it, and who should be held responsible, Mr. Mifengmi will make the judgment later. I won't go into details here."
"The first is the issue of the Puer people launching a surprise attack on Yulin. On this point, we were a little negligent. The Puer people only suffered heavy losses in the Beiyuan Campaign in the first half of the year, and a large number of prisoners were ransomed one after another in April and May. We underestimated the raw quality of Poole's soldiers. Although the intelligence department reminded us that the Poole army was undergoing large-scale military reforms, it did not attract enough attention. We still considered what the Poole army should do after the defeat. There was a long buffering and recovery period, but they did not expect that the people of Poole used this defeat as an opportunity to reorganize and reorganize the military force of the country. A large number of young and middle-aged officers who had not been put into high use in the past were promoted and reused. According to The information we have obtained now shows that the adjustment of officers in Poole's army has been unprecedentedly large, reaching almost more than 70%. In particular, the middle and low-level officers are almost all made up of experienced veterans, and the prisoners we released have played an important role. ! At this point, I think it is a profound lesson. For those veterans with rich practical experience, we can no longer continue the previous practice. As long as there is still the possibility of hostility with Xijiang, we should not let the other party redeem them casually. Instead, their survival path should be determined based on actual conditions.”
Ling Tianfang's first words directly attacked the decision-making of the Military Affairs Administration itself. This was beyond everyone's expectations. All military officials thought that the military intelligence department should first take responsibility for this issue. What happened to the military force in Poole? It stands to reason that both the Military Intelligence Agency and the General Intelligence Agency should have a special report to draw the attention of decision-making departments for such a huge change. However, it seems that both intelligence agencies failed to make sufficient judgments on this point. This seems to be the case. The crux of the problem. But the redemption of prisoners raised by Ling Tianfang is indeed an issue. There was a lot of controversy on this issue at the beginning, but in the end it was His Highness the King of Qin who made the decision. Ling Tianfang's cannon had already hit His Highness the King of Qin. top of head.
Even Wu Feng himself did not expect that Ling Tian would burn him in the first fire he set, but he was not a person who kept secrets and avoided medical treatment. When he made the decision to release the captives of Poole, he was a little unconsidered and looked too far. Focusing on the economic benefits brought about, that is why today's disaster occurred. He has no need or desire to shirk his responsibility. When everyone's eyes were focused on his face, especially when Mo Lun's slightly sarcastic and teasing gaze was provocative on his face, Ling Tianfang was preparing the second part of his speech as if nothing had happened, which made Wu Feng a little embarrassed. , he could only nod his head to show that he completely agreed with the other party's opinion, although Wu Feng believed that the division of responsibilities between the intelligence department and the staff department still needed to be discussed on the former issue.
"The second question is how did the Poole people get involved with Situ Tai? The intelligence department failed to provide accurate information to the military on this issue because it involves professional issues. Please forgive me for not being able to judge whether the intelligence department can do this. At one point, we can only ask the intelligence agencies to explain themselves."
It should be said that Ling Tianfang's words are quite fair. After all, the intelligence department is not omnipotent. If all the enemy's secrets can be detected by the intelligence department, then there will be no need to fight a war with an opponent who can predict every step. Who has a chance of winning? I believe no intelligence agency can do this.
"However, in my personal opinion, the Puer people's military reform should require a large amount of financial support. In the past, the Puer people mainly relied on Kaman for their source of funds, but now that the political situation in Kaman is unstable, it is impossible to provide them with such generous financial support. , in my opinion, it is possible for Situ Tai, but his own military expenditure is also very tight, which is not realistic. And now because of the military operations, the Dodon people's military expenditure has also increased sharply, allowing them to borrow a lot of money because they are not well-off. It is obviously difficult to give it to the Poole people, not to mention that Stuart seems to have obtained a lot of loans from them, so the source of the Poole people's funds may be a big question. If the intelligence department cannot have a suitable explanation for this, then Some of them are unjustifiable. I hope to hear a reasonable explanation from the intelligence department." After a series of efforts that seemed to be opening up for the intelligence department, Ling Tianfang finally pushed this seemingly inconspicuous problem to the intelligence department, and asked him to sit aside. Gu Quan and Linghu Yi both looked a little sad.
"It is not surprising that the Twelveth Army of the Empire launched an offensive in Qinghe, but the Twelfth Army used a new defensive weapon called the Caltrop Rope. We have already captured this weapon. It brought great benefits to our cavalry in this war. It has caused a lot of damage, especially its hindering effect is quite obvious. It is said that it has been equipped on a large scale in the Northern Army, mainly to restrain the cavalry power of our Western Xinjiang Army, but according to what I learned about this weapon and the time It seems that we in Western Xinjiang were too slow to receive the news about this weapon. The intelligence department seems not to pay enough attention to it. The Staff Department of the Military Affairs Administration also did not pay enough attention to this point. I think the Military Intelligence Bureau under the Military Affairs Administration He and the Chief of Staff all bear the main responsibility, that is, I should bear the first responsibility." As if he was talking about other people's affairs, Ling Tianfang still talked eloquently when talking about his own responsibilities. There was no trace of guilt or guilt on his dark face.
There was another moment of silence in the meeting hall. Everyone knew Mi Feng's temper, and Mo Lun's style was famous throughout Western Xinjiang. Not to mention you Ling Tianfang, not even His Highness the King of Qin himself, these two would not give in at all. , did Ling Tianfang really intend to anger the two of them? On the other hand, Mi Feng remained solemn and solemn, while Molun still had his trademark unruly expression, but with an added thoughtfulness.
On the contrary, His Highness King Qin's face seems to have become much clearer now, and the look in his eyes seems to have become uncertain, as if he is thinking about something.
"Regarding the issue of the Blue Bailin Army, I think it is necessary for us to carefully analyze the whole story at this point. In my personal opinion, this is not a problem of any of our subordinate departments in Western Xinjiang. It should involve many aspects. This was originally our A great help but now suddenly collapsed, which directly caused Longquan and Qinghe to be seriously threatened, and even affected the initiative of the entire battle, causing the situation in Heshuo to be passive. How could we take the lead on this issue? The machine becomes controlled by others. I wonder if you have analyzed the reasons for this? Have we made any mistakes?" Ling Tianfang's few words immediately made people realize that Ling Tianfang seemed to have more mistakes at this point. Are you dissatisfied, but don’t know who the dissatisfaction is directed against? Could it be His Highness King Qin again
