Seeing Wu Feng taking over all the responsibilities, Su Qin didn't hesitate to ask too much, and just frowned and said: "The situation in India is developing so fast, and our foreign affairs department is also responsible, but now the primary issue is probably still It is necessary to respond militarily. A Jerok Army alone may not be able to shoulder such an important task. The Tik people are strong on the outside and capable on the inside. They cannot be compared with the Luzon people who have integrated the Komini people. Once Frederick and Kluf If we really intend to go north to compete with India, I am afraid this battle will not be easy.”
"Brother Su is right. If we add the Hansen Alliance who has not yet figured out the details, our strength there will indeed be weaker. It's just that it will take some time for the remnants of the Tanghe Empire to be reorganized. The first Because the relationship between the Eighth Army and the Dodon people has not yet completely eased, and several important passes and castle fortresses in the Okhotsk region are still under construction, it is estimated that it will take some time, but it should be possible to combine the First Army or the Eighth Army Take one out. The only one that can be mobilized now is Qiu Zicheng's Tenth Army, but the combat effectiveness of this army has not yet experienced a major war test. Maybe the Indian area is a good training ground." Ling Tianfang looked solemnly at Wu Feng Without saying a word, the interface suggested: "If the conditions are suitable, Long can be responsible for the defense of Okhotsk and Yanyun areas by himself, and the Eighth Army Corps will be mobilized. Together with the Tenth Army Corps that is still undergoing training, there will be two legions. Investing in the Indian region, it’s just that the time may be a little slow.”
"How is the training of the Luobei Rangers?" Wu Feng raised his head and asked.
"Two ranger regiments with soldiers, horses and other equipment have been prepared and have begun to enter the training stage, and two more ranger regiments are under preparation." Ling Tianfang replied. The implication of being under preparation is that it is only a written plan and has not yet entered the substantive establishment process.
Wu Feng knew that finances were already very difficult, which limited the expansion speed of the army, especially the cavalry. Another important factor restricting the development of the cavalry was the serious shortage of cavalry officers. Although the six ranger regiments that had been built had been used in many wars, Zhong made great achievements in battle, but some shortcomings began to be exposed. A series of reasons such as cavalry's lax discipline, inflexible tactics, and poor adaptability are closely related to the lack of high-quality cavalry officers. Therefore, Wufeng has also increased the intensity of rotation training for senior officers in the six ranger regiments, but it can only It is said that this contradiction has been slightly alleviated, but the newly built Ranger Regiment has further highlighted the seriousness of this problem. If too many officers are transferred from other ranger regiments, the combat effectiveness of other regiments will inevitably be affected. However, the 7th and 8th Ranger Regiments, which are composed entirely of Luobi, still have some doubts about letting Motes or Tubu command them. Some resistance has slowed down the formation of the Rangers.
After some consideration, the Indian region only relied on the Jerok Army and the Seventh Army. It was obviously a little weak, and it was only appropriate to add another army. The newly formed Tenth Army Corps of Qiu Zicheng also needs a chance to go to India for training. As for Cheng Dayou's Eighth Army Corps. Wu Feng also had other plans. However, such a large front army needs a general with higher prestige and stronger means to shoulder the responsibility. Judging from the current situation, neither Kang Jianguo nor Hu Yanqiu is still able to shoulder this important task.
"Well, Qiu Zicheng's Tenth Army Corps will be sent to the west immediately. I believe that after such a long time, the training should have some results. The Indian battlefield should be able to test Qiu Zicheng's ability. What needs to be determined now is the candidate to serve as the commander-in-chief of the entire Central Continent Front. , I wonder who you think is more suitable for this position?”
Wu Fengyi's seemingly casual question didn't seem to have any specific purpose. But everyone knows it. I am afraid that only Ling and Bo can express their opinions on this candidate. At most, Su Qin can say a few words, and the others can only listen.
Seeing that everyone was silent for a while, Wu Feng didn't want to go around any more, which was obviously impossible for Liang Chongxin. It is inevitable that the battle against Machi Khan is inevitable, and Liang Chongxin must be in charge of the overall situation. Cui Wenxiu seems to be the only one who can carry the flag now, but Ling Tianfang seems to be more optimistic about Cheng Dayou, and Wu Feng really wanted to touch Ling Tianfang's background.
"Tian Fang, what do you think of Cheng Dayou taking this position?" Wu Feng's eyes fell on Ling Tian Fang.
Suddenly laughing, Ling Tianfang glanced at him and said, "Your Highness. You don't think that just because I like Cheng Dayou that he can take on this position, do you? He is not suitable for this position."
"Oh?" Ling Tianfang's straightforward answer surprised Wu Feng. He originally thought that Ling Tianfang would at least hesitate for a moment, but he didn't expect that the other party would express his opposition so clearly. "Why?"
"Cheng Dayou is a talented person. He has some performance in military tactics, but his performance is only in local battles. Moreover, his prestige in our military system has not yet been established. It is too early to assume the command and responsibility of a front army. , it might be more appropriate if he is given some more opportunities to hone his skills."
Ling Tianfang still had another worry that he had not said out loud, and that was that Cheng Dayou was quite ambitious. Although he had joined Wu Feng, if he was given such great authority all at once, it would inevitably breed his arrogance. There may even be a phenomenon of supporting troops and self-respect. Of course, it may be very small. After all, his own line in the army has not yet been formed. However, the strategy of the Central Continent is a long-term strategy and is likely to continue. If he is allowed to do so for a long time, Holding this position, while loyalty still needs to be tested, this position is not suitable for him to hold.
Ling Tianfang's opinion won the unanimous approval of Bo Jinchen and Su Qin, and also made Wu Feng make up his mind. He originally had other plans for Cheng Dayou, and Cui Wenxiu was the most suitable in every aspect, so he would make the decision. The commander-in-chief of the Mainland Front Army in his hands is undoubtedly very familiar with the situation, and Hu Yanqiu is his old assistant. Kang Jianguo knows everything about it. Qiu Zicheng is a newcomer. It should be said that this combination is reassuring.
"In this case, the Privy Council issued an order to remove Cui Wenxiu as commander of the Third Army, authorize Cui Wenxiu to form the Empire's Central Continental Front Army, appoint Cui Wenxiu as the commander-in-chief of the Empire's Central Continental Front, and notify Cui Wenxiu to come to Beijing to accept the appointment immediately and then head west without delay. , the Empire's Mainland Front has the Jerok Army, the Seventh Army, and the Tenth Army. The Combat Readiness Department of the Government Affairs Council and the Logistics Department of the Privy Council immediately prepared logistics materials according to the establishment of the three armies, and completed the replenishment in the shortest time. The First Army of the Free Dragon Autonomous Region The deputy corps commander and commander of the fifth division appointed Long Zi as the commander of the third corps, relieved Song Tianxiong from his position as the division commander of the Tiger Wings, and appointed Song Tianxiong as the deputy commander of the first corps."
The series of personnel appointments had obviously been carefully considered by Wu Feng, and this did not come as a surprise to Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen. Only by letting Song Tianxiong take charge of the post of deputy commander of the First Army, Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen Chen felt that the possibility of His Highness the King of Qin intending to use the First Army to go to the south had increased sharply. Let the experienced and tough Long Long take charge of the Third Army. It is very likely that the commander of the Third Army would temporarily take over the defense of the First and Eighth Army in the north. Because Liang Chongxin In fact, he has been semi-separated from the command of the First Army Corps. It is very likely that he will serve as the commander-in-chief of a front army in the southern campaign. Then Song Tianxiong, the favorite general of His Highness the King of Qin, may serve as the commander of the First Army Corps and serve as the emergency commander of the southern campaign. pioneer.
After a pause, Wu Feng turned his attention to Gu Quan and Linghu Yi again, and said sternly: "The intelligence information network in the Indian region needs to be further strengthened. In addition, the areas west of the peninsula and occupied by the Machi Khans On the situation in the region, the General Intelligence Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau must also increase their efforts to prepare for our next strategic deployment, especially in Ronisia and Nan'an and Western Samoa and Sikkim to the west of the peninsula, which are the focus of intelligence work , I hope that the next time our military needs it, the intelligence department can provide us with detailed intelligence information in the most timely and accurate manner."
Wu Feng's last words made everyone present feel tense again. The military in mainland China had just announced the appointment of the formation, and the intelligence department here had to shift its focus to the south. If the war against the Machikhans was still barely understandable, then What does intelligence gathering on neutral areas west of the peninsula mean? Is it true that the Empire will launch a full-scale offensive from the very beginning, and may even have to deal with three wars at the same time? It's just that in this situation, no one dares to question His Highness King Qin's intentions. Even if they have questions, they can only find out more after coming down and waiting for the right opportunity.
Cui Wenxiu was very busy when he received the order to rush to Beijing. Groups of remnants of the Tanghe Empire were brought to the triangle between the empire and Jinzhong and Cangzhou in batches. During the reorganization, the most important task assigned to Cui Wenxiu by the Military Affairs Administration at that time was to select about 100,000 elite soldiers from the hundreds of thousands of remnants of the Tanghe Empire. Originally, Cui Wenxiu did not want to accept this task. This was not an act. Cui Wenxiu succumbed to the "slanderous words" of the two giants of the Military Affairs Administration when Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen asked him whether he wanted to conquer the north or fight a big war in the western continent. It is very likely that his hope of going to fight in the Central Continent will be dashed, and the war with Situ Tai has just begun. This has made Cui Wenxiu depressed for a long time. If he loses such an opportunity again, he will have to wait until the empire attacks Lieber The Asians will launch an offensive, but they don't know when. Cui Wenxiu doesn't want to wait in the north for a year and a half.
