"General O'Bola, you seem to have something on your mind?" In the torrent of cavalry rolling forward, Liang Chongxin and O'Bola deliberately kept a certain distance from the march to facilitate their conversation. "Now that everything has settled down and everything is running according to the route we set, what else does the general have to worry about?"
Shaking her head, a wry smile appeared on Obra's dark face, "Mr. Liang was joking, everything has just been turned on and off. There are still many troubles ahead. It's not as easy as you said."
After a pause, Obra looked at the rapidly advancing army in front of him with some emotion and sighed: "If I can have an elite army like Lord Liang's men, then it won't be a big problem, alas..."
"Haha, General Obra has been overrated. Given time, I think the general's troops can reach or even surpass them." Liang Chongxin pretended to be modest, but he was already brewing rhetoric in his heart.
"Lord Liang is too humble. I have reviewed your troops before I understand why the Luo Bei people who swept across Tengger repeatedly hit the wall in front of Lord Li's troops. There is nothing in vain under the prestige. They are indeed a strong army of steel. ." Recalling the situation when he reviewed this army two days ago, Obra was still full of praise. This army known as the number one in the Northwest Army does have this capital. This is an army that has been trained through hundreds of battles. Team.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Liang Chongxin considered his words before saying: "General Obra, Liang is a straight-tempered person. You and I hit it off at first sight, and Liang also feels that the general is a good friend. Some of his words may not be pleasant, but Liang regarded the general as a friend, so he kept it in his heart."
Obra was stunned for a moment, feeling a little flattered, and quickly said: "Master Liang, why did you say this? If you have anything to say, just say it. Obra is all ears."
"Then forgive Liang for speaking frankly. Liang carefully inspected your army and found that there are many problems in your army. If they are not solved, Liang is worried that there will be a lot of trouble in the event of a major war in the future. ." Liang Chongxin glanced at the other party and saw that the other party was listening carefully to his words, so he followed the topic: "First of all, it is the discipline issue of your army. Liang found that the discipline of your army, whether it was the original escort or the guard army, was poor. It seems a little lax, which is the most serious problem affecting the army's combat effectiveness. If an army does not have strict discipline, its fate can be imagined."
"Second, Liang and Deputy Division Commander Qu Bo have contacted some mid-level and senior officers of your army and found that the level of your army's officers is uneven. If it is not resolved, it will be difficult for your army to improve its combat effectiveness."
"Third, your cavalry is too weak, which makes your army lose its inherent mobility advantage. This is also an irreparable flaw in war. In addition, your soldiers are poorly equipped and the logistics supply mechanism is not perfect. This is also a factor that affects the performance of combat effectiveness." Liang Chongxin said smoothly and pointed out several problems in the opponent's army in a row, and his words were so insightful that Obra sighed and nodded.
"What Master Liang said is true. I am also aware of these problems. However, the two units have just been integrated and the team seems restless. The soldiers' emotions are not yet completely stable. It is not appropriate to take too big actions. Moreover, it is very difficult to correct these shortcomings. What can be achieved overnight, especially the improvement of the quality of officers requires long-term training and learning." Speaking of this, Obra thought of the Hyderabadis in the north who have always been resentful of the Pangzha people, and the people in the south who are now difficult to distinguish between friends and foes. The Tike people and the Tanghe people have made it clear that they will not stay in this land for too long and will soon return eastward. Without the constraints of the Tanghe people, it is naturally a wish, but this also brings a The real question is that the Black-clad faction is now in power, while the White-clad faction, which has always hated the Black-clad faction, is still in power in the Hyderabad tribe and the Tik tribe. Will they tolerate this phenomenon? Once the troops meet each other, with the strength in their hands, trying to challenge either north or south is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone, and the fate of their own tribe will be worrying.
If Tang He had not made it clear that he would not tolerate the change of the current regime, Obra would have even wanted to use his own power to expel the Wu Yi faction again after the Tang He people left. Although this might lead to another chaos, it would be far better than facing the Tang He people directly. The military intervention against the two major tribes is much stronger, but it is a pity that the Tanghe people seem to have a very tough attitude in this regard. I don’t know how the Wuyi Sect can be so popular with Li Wufeng
Of course Obra didn't understand what Li Wufeng was thinking. He didn't want his military power to be trapped here, but he also wanted to fully demonstrate his influence and make various preparations for the future. This was Li Wufeng's idea, so in this area Finding a suitable agent on the land has become a necessity. The Wuyi sect is facing huge pressure on the Senger Plain. If they want to maintain their current hard-won power situation, they have to rely on the northwest and rely on their own influence on the Hyderabadi people. With their influence and potential huge military power, both the Hyderabadis and the Tik people must consider their plans to truly face the northwest army. Perhaps compromise and balance are acceptable in several aspects.
"Liang feels the same, but the quality of officers has a great impact on the combat effectiveness of an army. As the saying goes, one soldier is as good as a general, and this fully illustrates the importance of officers in terms of combat effectiveness. Generals should plan early, Take necessary measures to improve the quality of officers." Liang Chongxin also followed the other party's words and answered calmly.
As if thinking of something, Obra didn't expect that this was a planned topic of guidance. He said in his heart: "Master Liang, I heard that Master Li has established a military academy in the capital of the territory to train officers. I don't know... ?”
Looking a little embarrassed, Liang Chong smiled secretly in confidence, but frowned on the surface and said: "Well, the Northwest Military Academy was specially set up by Mr. Li to cultivate and train officers, but it seems that it is generally not open to the public. Last time the Wusun Guards asked To train their officers, Liang applied many times to Mr. Li but only got 20 places. This was only allowed by Liang’s shameless persistence. If the general wants to do this now, I’m afraid it will be a little difficult.”
"Master Liang, since there is a precedent, it's easy to say. I think Master Li can't favor one thing over another. Since we already have a cooperation agreement, I think Master Li should be able to accept our request, which is not too high, right?" Obra Some are excited, obviously attracted by this idea. If they can send their men to study in the northwest, not only can they improve their military skills, but they can also take this opportunity to see the true strength of the northwest army, which will also help them decide where to go for their own tribe in the future. For reference.
"That's true. If Mr. Li doesn't want to, the general can raise this precedent. Mr. Li always cares about face, so he won't slap himself for this, right? But the general must not say that it was Liang who disclosed this matter to You, otherwise Liang will inevitably be scolded by Mr. Li again, saying that Liang is too troublesome." Liang Chongxin repeatedly told the other party, "However, this distant water cannot quench the near thirst, and it will take at least one and a half years to complete the officer training. , and the combat effectiveness of your army needs to be improved urgently. Liang has a suggestion to see if the general is interested?"
"Master Liang, please speak." Obra was very interested.
"When I return to Jaipu Ferry to see Mr. Li this time, the general might as well exaggerate the seriousness of the problem. Firstly, he can ask Mr. Li to stay longer to buy more time for your army. He can also ask Mr. Li if he can mobilize some experienced soldiers. As military instructors, in the name of military exchanges, officers will lead your army officers to organize troops to conduct some military training in advance, which may help your army's combat effectiveness improve faster." Liang Chongxin said slowly.
"Well, it's a good idea to help our army train in the name of military exchanges. It's worth a try. However, we have to wait until we return to Jaipur to discuss this issue with the council members before making a decision." Although I already agreed with this in my heart. Opinion, but the cautious Obra did not make a decision on the spot. After all, he did not understand the situation of Jaipur Ferry yet. Although Goldinara’s letter gave a rough idea, at this time, the black-clad faction was in power and the white-clad faction was respectful. At the end of the list, the nobles who were originally in power have been reduced to prisoners, and the previously unknown opposition noble families have taken over. With this change of host and guest, many issues are difficult to explain.
Nodding as if he understood the other party's thoughts, Liang Chongxin gently pinched the horse's belly, and the strong horse speeded up his pace slightly: "What the general said is true, everything will wait until Zhaipu Crossing, but Liang believes that no matter who it is, Taking charge of power and improving the combat effectiveness of our own army are the top priorities, otherwise we may be the ones who suffer when the enemy invades us."
Nodding silently, Obra also understood this truth. Perhaps those in power in the Wuyi faction paid more attention to this issue than he did. Once the Hyderabadi or Tik people sent troops to intervene and their own army was unable to withstand them, they would be the first to suffer.
"Master Liang, Obra has another request. Just like what Master Liang just said, our army's cavalry is a huge flaw. The cavalry is a natural weakness for our entire Indian Kingdom, because there are no Horses are not produced. Except for the Hyderabadis who can obtain some horses from the Tengger Grassland, they are even rarer in the central and southern Senger Plain. The main means of land transportation are donkeys and mule carts, which is fatal to the army. Therefore, I want to expand the cavalry at the appropriate time to reach a suitable level. I wonder if Mr. Liang can convey our wish to Mr. Li and provide some horses and training to enhance the mobile combat power of our army? "Obra was silent for a long time and then asked another question.
"Your Excellency General, I personally agree with this suggestion. However, given the sensitivity of the matter, the reaction of the people of Hyderabad as a northwest ally also needs to be considered. I think it is best to ask Your Excellency General to state it to Mr. Li personally. Liang also I will put forward my opinion to Mr. Li." Liang Chongxin replied tactfully with a smile.
