Chapter 533: Transforming the European Coalition Army
The concentric David was pushed to the position of commander-in-chief of the European Combined Fleet, and since then this David has inherited everything from the original David, fortunately, the original David is not married, and of course he has no wife and children or anything.
However, the original commander-in-chief was still there, but he was resolutely not reinstated from the official position, and he was relieved to see that someone had replaced his shortcomings.
Then, he immediately gave Mai Ke three names and told him to arrest them quickly, otherwise the changes here would soon spread back to Europe.
"You don't want their old fellows in Europe to know about it, do you?" said David, the former commander-in-chief.
Mai Ke took it and looked at it, it still had a job title on it, it was the head of the intelligence agency of the United Fleet, and he casually gave it to the current commander-in-chief David, and said, "You can watch it." ”
Mai Ke was very satisfied!
He was able to explain this information to Mai Ke clearly, which showed that he was completely separated from those European countries, which was of great significance, although Mai Ke had already made arrangements, not to mention intelligence, even a mosquito should not want to get out of the high-altitude net arranged by Xiao Hei.
Mai Ke said to him: "We want to reorganize this combined fleet, what suggestions do you have? Do you have any worthy candidates to use or cannot use the commanders of the fleets of various countries?"
Hearing Mai Ke ask this, he groaned a little and introduced it to everyone.
To the British fleet, he proposed to promote his lieutenant to fleet commander. Those who can be his lieutenants must have a very appropriate overall style, and even surpass him in some places. Especially in terms of iron-fisted military governance, the two are very consistent. Therefore, it can be guaranteed that the British fleet is still disciplined.
This adjutant was named Bassoon and had the rank of general, so people used to call him General Bassoon.
The French fleet is also a large fleet of 15,000 men, and the commander of the fleet, Napoleon, is very similar to Napoleon's brother in the name of the kingdom, in fact, he is Napoleon's own brother!
The two were twin brothers, then they went to school together, went to military school together, joined the army together, and then the elder brother Napoleon came to the Far East first. His younger brother Napoleon also arrived.
"My brother is better than me! He was the first to come! He had no problem participating in the kingdom of heaven, and I would go to see him when it was over. ”
More powerful than Napoleon, and Napoleon's younger brother. Can be reused! Therefore, Mai Ke promoted him to deputy commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet on the spot...... At the same time, he was also the commander of the French fleet.
Commander of the German fleet. Hitsson was an enthusiastic and hot-blooded young man with a particularly strong sense of justice. It was easy to get excited, his fleet of 11,000 men was strong in combat, and it was recommended that he continue to be the commander of the German fleet.
The commander of the Russian fleet is Ulyanzhov, and people generally call him Ulf, who is as his name suggests, and looks like a half-cut iron tower. He is resolute and ruthless, and must be strictly controlled, but if he controls it well, he is a good hand in fighting wars, and he can be used to fight hard and hard battles. CCB should use it sparingly, and it is better not to send him alone to carry out the task.
In fifth place is the Italian fleet.
"Not long ago, the commander of the Italian fleet was subjected to military law by me, and together with his command ship, he was sunk by our three cannons! Then I appointed Anton's adjutant as the commander of the fleet. Not long ago, he pledged his allegiance to me, saying that he would never avenge Anton and that he would obey orders in all his actions. ”
As soon as they heard that the commander of a fleet of 10,000 people had carried out military law, several people broke out in a cold sweat, and this guy was ruthless and bold to the point of reaching the pinnacle!
Mai Ke looked at him like this, and his heart moved, could it be that this is the reason, he is unwilling to be the commander again?
Then he heard David's suggestion, and he felt that the commander promoted by the adjutant could only take care of daily affairs temporarily, and as soon as there was a suitable candidate, he should be replaced immediately, because he was too unprincipled.
The remaining four small fleets came from several other European countries, either because they were small countries or because they could not afford to draw more warships to participate in the expedition.
These countries were Austria, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands, all of which had fleets of five to eight thousand men in the combined fleet.
"Thank you, thank you, David, you've bothered. Let me ask you one more question, do you know the state of these people's beliefs?" Mai Ke then asked.
"This is more complicated, hehe! The reason is that the members of the Combined Fleet come from different regions, and the various fleets are generally the same as their local mainline churches.
"I myself am from England, and therefore I belong to the Anglican Communion, and my lieutenant and almost all the members of the fleet belong to the Anglican Communion.
"Ufu is from Russia, he is an Orthodox Christian, and his subordinates are all Orthodox Christians.
"Hitsson came from Germany, which was the birthplace of Lutheranism, so Hitsson and his subordinates belonged to Lutheranism.
"Napoleon is from France, Calvin's hometown, so these people are Calvinist and belong to the Reformed sect.
"The people of Italy, both the former and current commanders of the fleet, are Catholic.
"The other four small countries are all Reformed territory, and there is no big difference. ”
"Okay!" said Mai Ke, "Thank you very much! Since none of us specialize in theology, believing in the Lord Jesus and being saved is enough to serve as the foundation of our common faith!"
"Next, I announce a complete restructuring of the Joint European Navy.
"The first thing is to change the name from the original European naval fleet to the heavenly Pacific Fleet! The fleet's place of activity must be the ocean, not a land, so there should be no such fleet in Europe!
"The second thing is to disrupt the original practice of forming separate groups according to countries, and adopt a large mixed formation, forming ten fleets, naming the fleets from one to ten. Each fleet has 10,000 men, trained and stationed in fleets, but can be combined in any way when needed. Every soldier is a soldier of the kingdom of heaven, so the purpose of this shuffling and reorganization is to make everyone forget the past and remember only that they are members of the kingdom of heaven.
"The third thing is to appoint the commander of the fleet, the commander of the First Fleet by David, and the commander of the Second Fleet by Napoleon......"
The other fleet commanders were mainly the commanders of the fleets of the original countries, and only the adjutant of Italy was promoted to the rank of fleet commander, and was not newly appointed.
"The fourth thing, the scope of activity of the Pacific Fleet of the Heavenly Kingdom is not limited to the Pacific Ocean, and wherever there is a waterway, it is the place where the Pacific Fleet sends it to peace! Therefore, the first task of the fleet is not to fight, but to spread the gospel!
"So we have a fifth, with Luther as chief priest of the Pacific Fleet and commander of the Third Fleet.
At the very least, the Dutch East India Company's Far East Fleet was also involved in this reorganization, with Mentov as commander of the Fourth Fleet. ”
With that, Mai Ke called all the people he had just appointed over and said to them, "You only have one day, and by this time tomorrow, I will hear a report from you on bringing a new fleet!" (to be continued......
