Chapter 840: Contingency and Affairs

Wei Yingcai's telegram for help was soon sent to Leon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the telegram in his hand, I have to say that Leon actually felt very strange, and he had the impression that it was a brave and good general. But how do you know that Wei Yingcai actually had a time to ask for help?!

Obviously, that must be in great trouble.

Without saying a word, Leon quickly read the contents of the telegram, and finally understood what Wei Yingcai was asking for. It turned out that Wei Yingcai actually sent a telegram to Lyon asking for help because of the dilemma of lack of ammunition.

This is also something that Lyon did not expect.

When the military situation was urgent, Lyon would not delay in the slightest, and immediately began to follow up, immediately sending someone to inquire about the officer in charge of the logistics department of the Xinghua Army's expedition to Jiangzhou, and first investigate whether there was something wrong in the arms supply link.

But Leon's concerns were quickly dismissed, and the logistics director determined that the logistics department had not neglected its duties and acted recklessly, and that there had been no detention of supplies from the Wei Yingcai Department in Xiguancheng, and that the quota had indeed been completed on time and in quantity.

Leon nodded when he heard this, at least the officers and men in the army were not negligent and left their posts without permission, of course, this is also the minimum requirement.

Immediately afterward, Leon quickly realized another possible situation from the speculation of the logistics director.

The logistics director told Leon that the logistics department not only equipped Wei Yingcai's department with a sufficient amount of arms on time, but in fact, just half a month ago, the logistics department had just delivered a batch of arms, grain and grass to Xiguancheng, and it stands to reason that Wei Yingcai's supplies were absolutely sufficient.

In other words, if Xiguancheng lacked ammunition, so that Wei Yingcai had reached the point where he wanted to send an urgent telegram for help, then I am afraid that Wei Yingcai had experienced another fierce battle on a large scale after that.

Speaking of this, the faces of Leon and the logistics director both became cold and gloomy!

I'm afraid that their speculation is not reckless. Because of this, Leon felt that the situation was urgent.

As a result, his brain raced, quickly considering all the relevant factors, and of course, he needed to know the exact situation of Wei Yingcai's department immediately, although it didn't seem to be an easy task.

"I think Wei Yingcai's department must have had a battle with the incoming enemy, and from Wei Yingcai's urgent report, it can be seen that Wei Yingcai's department must have suffered a lot of losses, otherwise, Wei Yingcai would definitely report the victory in the telegram, instead of asking for help. Leon seemed to be analyzing himself, and it was as if he was explaining the situation to others.

With that, Leon waved his hand to let the logistics director leave, since it was almost certain that Wei Yingcai's department was in trouble, there was no way for Ang to just analyze the situation here.

"Send a telegram and ask Wei Yingcai to report in detail on the situation of the enemy army. In addition, inform Wei Yingcai that our supplies will not be delivered in a short time, let them do their best to support, and the headquarters is studying sending reinforcements to encircle and annihilate the enemy army. Let them wait as long as possible for the arrival of the supporting army. Leon said to the adjutant with a complicated expression.

Leon was very worried in his heart, and he couldn't know the exact situation of Wei Yingcai's department, but he could only make such an arrangement. Although Wei Yingcai's telegram was an arms emergency, it was obvious that a quick deployment of arms could completely solve part of Wei Yingcai's predicament.

Because, not to mention the preparation of such a large number of arms in a short period of time, it is very difficult, even if the smooth preparation is enough, and then transported to Xiguancheng, I am afraid that it will not be able to be transported to Xiguancheng in time to solve the urgent need.

What's more, if Wei Yingcai's department is really as they guessed, they have fought repeatedly, and they have encountered a strong enemy again, they must be tired at this moment, and they urgently need to be repaired by the whole army.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Leon believed that instead of transporting arms to the past, it was better to directly send reinforcements over, so that he could take over the soldiers of Wei Yingcai's department to fight, and he could also ensure the timeliness of time.

As soon as Leon's voice fell, the adjutant immediately answered and asked, "General, when will we send troops?"

"You don't have to tell him when the troops will be sent. Leon said.

When the adjutant heard this, he had no doubts, and immediately went to the telegraph station to ask the telegraph operator to send a telegram, and then sent it out.

As soon as the adjutant had just left, Leon immediately summoned the officers of his headquarters to the headquarters to discuss the specific arrangements for sending troops to Xiguancheng.

In fact, Lyon has already decided to send troops. However, after all, it is necessary to make overall plans for fighting a war, and to make specific arrangements for which troops will go out of the city to fight, and to decide what kind of battle plan and support arrangements to adopt, all of which need to be agreed upon in advance; as a general in the army, no matter how urgent the situation is, he must not mess up his position, and he must make arrangements first, so as to ensure that he can support Wei Yingcai's troops while not suffering excessive troop losses.

Of course, it is not that Lyon underestimates the Xia army, the fact is that it is difficult for the Xia army to win against the Xinghua army. Leon still recognizes Wei Yingcai's command ability, so he will not save Wei Yingcai if he dies. What's more, the troops led by Wei Yingcai are also a great military force. The loss of the Wei Yingcai Department of the Empire was not conducive to the Battle of Jiangzhou.

"I want to send troops to ask for help in Xiguancheng, and by the way, solve the enemy besieging Xiguancheng. The territory west of Jiangzhou is also China's, and there is no room for loss. Leon said solemnly. In the headquarters, the officers also answered Leon's words solemnly. Then, the officers began to discuss how many soldiers to send to Tai'an City, what types of troops to send, and the relevant tactical coordination.

In half an hour, Leon got a battle plan. This plan was not a plan of imagination, but a battle plan formulated by the officers of the Xinghua Army based on the information provided by the Xinghua Imperial Intelligence Bureau.

"The enemy army is 20,000, mainly infantry, with a small number of cavalry. Equipped with cold weapons, a large number of thunderbolts, well-trained. Our battle plan requires the cooperation of Wei Yingcai's department, and we will attack inside and out......" Leon nodded in agreement as he read, "This plan is not bad, it is very feasible. ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Fang Shaohai, you lead the three thousand soldiers of the headquarters, and I will equip you with an artillery company and a sharpshooter squad, with sufficient weapons and ammunition. Leon pointed to a circle on the map and continued: "I will annihilate this enemy army, and do not let them escape! I want to tell the commander-in-chief of the Xia army, don't just invade the border, come and kill one by one. Only when we are afraid of them will they not dare to attack us at will. ”

"Major Lin Hengtong, you lead 1,500 soldiers to attack the enemies around Yangcheng and increase the pressure on the enemies in Yangcheng until the battle in Xiguancheng is over. "Lyon continues to arrange combat missions.

After the battle mission was arranged, Leon asked everyone to go back, each performing their own duties, and doing their best in the next big battle.

Everyone left the headquarters, and Leon returned to his temporary office to write down today's events in detail, and he wanted to report to the emperor on the changes in the battle situation in Jiangzhou. Of course, Leon hoped that the emperor would continue to increase his forces. The Xia State was transferring troops from various states, and the pressure on the Xinghua Army was also increasing.

By telegram, Lyon's long report was placed on the table in the palazzo study two hours later.

Wei Wenyuan had just presented Leon's long report to his desk, when Yi Xingchen asked, "Where did you get the paperwork?"

"Your Majesty, it is the document of Jiangzhou. Wei Wenyuan said respectfully.

Yi Xingchen was stunned when he heard this, and replied, "Okay, you put it down." I have read all these documents in front of me, and I have also made instructions, and you can take them back and give them to the Prime Minister for reference. Yi Xingchen smiled slightly.

Wei Wenyuan respectfully picked up the documents that Yi Xingchen had read and took them out of the palace study. Yan En, who had been guarding Yi Xingchen's side, ordered the two palace guards outside the door to escort Wei Wenyuan to the cabinet office.

Wei Wenyuan left the study, and Yi Xingchen picked up Leon's report and read it carefully. Soon, after reading the long report, Yi Xingchen sighed: "Is Wei Yingcai not suitable for leading troops? Can't hold a Xiguan City? Yan En, do you think it is necessary for the empire to transfer Wei Yingcai back to Blue Mercury?"

Yan En thought for a moment and replied, "Wei Yingcai is not suitable to work in Blue Mercury, too many people know him. In Blue Mercury, his only suitable job is to maintain the Empire's rule in the country of Ganglong. Moreover, he is no longer fit for the main position. ”

Yi Xingchen nodded and said, "You are right. No matter what, the empire lacked qualified officers. Wei Yingcai is Leon's junior officer, so let's hand Wei Yingcai over to Leon for training. If Wei Yingcai did not grow, he would be transferred back to China and served as a local garrison officer, responsible for training soldiers. ”

Wei Wenyuan had just presented Leon's long report to his desk, when Yi Xingchen asked, "Where did you get the paperwork?"

"Your Majesty, it is the document of Jiangzhou. Wei Wenyuan said respectfully.

Yi Xingchen was stunned when he heard this, and replied, "Okay, you put it down." I have read all these documents in front of me, and I have also made instructions, and you can take them back and give them to the Prime Minister for reference. Yi Xingchen smiled slightly.

If Wei Yingcai did not grow, he would be transferred back to China and served as a local garrison officer, responsible for training soldiers. ”

"Your Majesty is kind!" replied Yan En.

Yi Xingchen is indeed benevolent, he has given Wei Yingcai many opportunities, hoping that he can grasp it. However, Wei Yingcai's matter made Yi Xingchen realize a big event. This is the important thing, that is, whether the work of the imperial officials is qualified and dutiful. In fact, the cabinet will arrange for the promotion and promotion of the positions of imperial officials. It's just that Yi Xingchen feels that a state official must not only have loyalty, but also have corresponding knowledge reserves.

"I suggest that the Ministry of Education issue a test paper every two years to assess the ability of grassroots officials who have been on the job for one year to assess their ability to govern. Yi Xingchen said.

Yan En thought for a moment and did not answer. The main reason is that Yi Xingchen did not explicitly ask him to answer. Yi Xingchen really didn't need Yan En's answer, he wouldn't arbitrarily implement a policy within the empire. He also has a letter to submit to the cabinet, which will investigate and discuss before the relevant policies are introduced, and then implemented by the cabinet. However, this is just a trivial matter for Yi Xingchen.

Yi Xingchen replied to Leon with a brief telegram, telling Leon that the new army of the empire was being trained and that reinforcements would appear within three months. Jiangzhou's troops, Leon is the commander, and he can handle Jiangzhou's military affairs on his own.

Replying to Leon's telegram, Yi Xingchen asked Yan En: "I haven't been back to the Xinghua production base in Moissanguo for three days, how is the situation over there?"

The Mosangguo task force forcibly wanted to make trouble for Xinghua Group, Yi Xingchen felt that Xinghua's production base was unsafe and didn't want to be bothered, and the eighth-level professional of Xia Guo did not appear, so he went back to the Imperial Palace to preside over affairs. As for the matter of Blue Mercury, Yan En went to Blue Mercury every day to learn about it, and then relayed the report.

"According to the report, the Mozambican task force has been counterattacked by the emir several times, and it has not dared to run rampant. Yan En smiled.

Yi Xingchen smiled, was very happy, and said: "Haha, they don't want to think about Xinghua Group will be a simple company? They didn't figure out whether Xinghua Group needed Mosanguo, or Mosanguo needed Xinghua Group. In fact, the Schmidt Group can leave Mozambique, and if Mozambique does not have the Schmidt Group, it will be their loss. ”

"Hmph, the benefits that our group hands over to Mozambique every year are huge, and they are not even satisfied, and they are looking for death! I remember that there is also a behind-the-scenes figure named Jipari. I don't care who he is, he must be punished! Whoever dares to be unforgiving to the Xinghua Group will be solved. Thinking of some bad things, Yi Xingchen's good mood dispersed a little.

"The Xinghua Commandos have already started to do something, and their next target is Gipari. It's just that Jipari is hiding in the Moisan Ministry of Defense area, and they haven't found a chance for the time being. Yan En replied.

Yi Xingchen nodded.

Yan En continued: "The construction of the Ganglong national branch base is progressing smoothly and it is expected to be able to operate normally within three months. At present, Schmidt Group's recruitment in Ganglong Country is underway. The sub-base needed a person in charge, and the emir proposed several lists, and he asked His Majesty to look at the lists. ”

"Okay, wait a minute, you give me the list, and the resumes of those people. Yi Xingchen replied.

"Your Majesty, Director James of the Xinghua Island Intelligence Bureau has received news that the United States has made another small move, and their target should be the Scientific Research Department of Xinghua Group. ”
