After analysis, Leon has a clearer idea of the setting of Tai'an City in his mind, and some key points of specific actions are becoming clearer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Our army has walkie-talkies, as long as it does not enter the mountains and does not exceed the range of three kilometers, then it can ensure that the communication can be unimpeded. I am going to send a sufficient number of scout cavalry to carry out a detailed reconnaissance of the terrain around Tai'an, especially the western part of Tai'an. After the reconnaissance cavalry, five more operational units were dispatched, each with 1,000 soldiers, to carry out the task of clearance. Moreover, in the course of carrying out their missions, they had to maintain close contact with the scout cavalry. "At the same time, each of the five clearance units must not be too far apart from each other, and they must ensure that they can support each other in time. In this way, if one of the troops is attacked by the enemy, the rest of the troops will be able to launch support operations very quickly and have enough time to react. ”

After Leon made operational arrangements, Staff Officer Wang Kaiwei, who had been standing beside him and listening carefully to the operational instructions, after thinking about it carefully, put forward a supplementary suggestion, saying: "Commander, I suggest that the troops be cleared out, and the number of young and strong gangs is more than 100. ”

Wang Kaiwei is a staff officer that Leon admires very much, and his most outstanding thing is his calm and accurate judgment, and he makes many decisions, so among many subordinate officers, Leon has always had a high degree of trust in Wang Kaiwei.

Therefore, Wang Kaiwei proposed this supplementary point, which made Leon instantly stop giving orders and fall into serious thought.

But not all staff officers have the same view as Wang Kaiwei. Perhaps seeing that Leon was deep in thought, as if he was considering Wang Kaiwei's suggestion, and was even really ready to accept this suggestion to exterminate a gang of 100 people, another staff officer who had a different opinion on this immediately raised an objection: "No! Such a judgment is based on too general, if a civilian is killed by mistake, what can be done?" At the moment, the most important thing for us is to win the hearts and minds of the people, if the Xinghua army does something to kill innocents indiscriminately, I am afraid that the common people of the Xia Kingdom, who have finally tried to accept the Xinghua Empire as the ruler, will lose confidence in the empire in an instant. ”

Such worries are not unfounded, Leon heard this, and immediately nodded his head to show his understanding. In fact, this approach does have certain risks. Because the Xinghua army had just gained control of the county seat of Tai'an, during this period when the regime was not yet stable, any major mistake by the Xinghua army could lead to popular dissatisfaction, and even in serious cases, it could lead to civil riots aimed at overthrowing the rule of the Xinghua Empire.

Before Leon could say anything, Wang Kaiwei had already begun to explain his judgment with a serious face, and said, "Regarding this issue, there is actually no need to worry too much. In the area west of Yangcheng, the Xia army implemented the strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls. It shows that west of Tai'an City, there are almost no civilians, at least there will not be many young adults who are strong and even have combat effectiveness. Therefore, even if there are still people left in these areas, I am afraid that they are just ordinary old and weak women and children in Huali Town. Because of this, we can boldly speculate that if there were a group of more than 100 civilians, and they were strong young men, these people could not be ordinary ordinary people. If they weren't the people the Xia soldiers pretended to be, they would just be bandits who didn't obey the orders of the Xia Kingdom. No matter how much we exterminate these characters, we can't exterminate them!"

Wang Kaiwei's words, every word, are reasonable, so that people who originally disagreed with his suggestions have nothing to say.

The views of the two sides are reasonable, but their positions are different, and their conclusions are naturally different. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little unpleasant, Leon opened his mouth in a timely manner to resolve the embarrassment, and said: "Wang Kaiwei's speculation is not unreasonable, and it can be used as a criterion for judging the liquidation troops, but, as everyone is worried about, in order to improve the accuracy of the clearance operation, I would like to add one point to Wang Kaiwei's suggestion, that is, to raise the standard of judgment a little more, and the whole army can add one article, you can eliminate the armed gang of 200 people without asking for instructions." ”

Although Lyon accepted the views of both sides, he did not deliberately favor the views of either side. Leon knew very well that as a leader, although he should encourage his subordinate officers to put forward more opinions that are conducive to action, it is more important to maintain fair and balanced judgment in order to prevent signs of infighting among staff officers.

Leon's handling is mature, successfully resolving the embarrassing atmosphere that the two did not need to have, and at the same time giving better guidance for this clean-up operation.

After the arrangement of this action order was completed, Wang Kaiwei put forward a new suggestion again in front of everyone: "Commander, when we clear the enemy's small army, we should send an army to threaten Yangcheng. ”

Wang Kaiwei's words once again attracted everyone's attention, but the difference was that this time, no other staff officers had raised objections for the time being.

Facing everyone's expressions that seemed to understand and seemed to be puzzled, Wang Kaiwei paused and continued: "Yangcheng is an important supply city for the Xia army, so in Yangcheng, there must be a large amount of materials stored, that is to say, Yangcheng is a very important stronghold for the Xia Kingdom. It can be concluded that at this moment, most of the supplies of the Xia army, which is hidden near Tai'an County and poses a threat to our Xinghua army, should come from Yangcheng. Because of this, if we include Yangcheng as the target of action at the same time and allocate part of the army to threaten Yangcheng, it will be equivalent to playing a key role in restraining the Xia army. We can imagine that if the Xia army loses Yangcheng, an important supply channel, it will be impossible to besiege Tai'an City for a long time, and it will be impossible to operate near Tai'an City for a long time, and I am afraid that we will have to withdraw our troops, which can also allow our army to win without a fight. ”

Hearing this, Leon nodded, and the rest of the staff officers were finally impressed by Wang Kaiwei's strict tactics, and expressed their agreement with Wang Kaiwei's second military proposal.

After half an hour of deliberation, the next move of the Lyon Department was all decided.

The latest plan of the Ministry of Lyons was transmitted back to Xinghua City, thousands of miles away, through the airwaves. As soon as Alan got this telegram from the Ministry of Lyon, he quickly took it to the palace without delay and presented it to Yi Xingchen.

"Your Majesty, our army is progressing well, and this is Lyon's next plan. Alan handed the telegram to Yi Xingchen and reported to Yi Xingchen in simple and general words.

Yi Xingchen looked at the plan, smiled slightly, and said with satisfaction: "Our army is progressing smoothly, this is a thing worth celebrating. ”

However, hearing Yi Xingchen's words, Alan did not immediately echo Yi Xingchen with the same pleasant attitude. Seeing this, Yi Xingchen showed a questioning expression, looked at Allen, and Allen, who was signaled, paused, as if he was worried, but still proposed to Yi Xingchen: "Your Majesty, our army still has shortcomings. After all, the battlefield is in the Xia Kingdom, if the battle line is too long and the follow-up transportation capacity is insufficient, it will still seriously restrict our army from showing its own strength, so we still have to pay attention to and overcome this potential crisis. ”

"What do you suggest?" Yi Xingchen heard something in Allen's words.

"Your Majesty, I propose to use the hoverwagon and go into battle. At this time, Allen decisively proposed an unexpected solution.

Yi Xingchen was stunned when he heard this.

The Xinghua production base has long produced suspended trucks, which are only used in other worlds, and has established three fixed transportation routes, Xinghua City and Xilin Nuclear Power Plant, Xinghua City and Nantu City, and Nantu City and Anhua City. On these three routes, the Xinghua Empire put in a total of fifteen hovering trucks. Since then, Schmidt's production base has never produced hovering trucks again.

At present, the most profitable Xinghua production base is Xinghua suspension vehicles. Basically, every time Xinghua's production base produces a suspension car, it sells a suspension car, and there is no problem of unsalable goods at all.

Allen's suggestion is obviously to hope that Yi Xingchen will come up with a production line to specialize in the production of suspension trucks. As a result, the production of suspended vehicles at Xinghua's production base will be reduced accordingly, and the production volume will decrease, which means a decrease in revenue.

It is precisely because once this decision is implemented, there are not many aspects that may be affected, so Alan was hesitant at first whether he should make this suggestion to Yi Xingchen. But on a case-by-case basis, Allen still feels that this plan will be of great help if it can be implemented.

It's just that this can really only be decided by Yi Xingchen.

Yi Xingchen carefully weighed it in his heart, and said to Alan seriously: "This is not a trivial matter. As you can expect, once a decision is made, many things will need to be replanned. However, three hovering trucks can be dispatched to Shucheng to transport front-line military supplies first. As for whether there will be arrangements for the follow-up, or will it be arranged slowly in the future. ”

Alan nodded, he was the Minister of Defense, and he was completely obliged to make all suggestions to Yi Xingchen that were beneficial to the military of the Xinghua Empire according to the needs of the war. As for the suggestions he put forward, whether Yi Xingchen will adopt them in the end, or how to adopt them, it is up to Yi Xingchen to make the final decision, and as a courtier, Allen's obligations are limited to this.

However, seeing that he put forward the suggestion with his heart, Yi Xingchen was seriously considering it, which made Alan very pleased.

Yi Xingchen's trust in Allen is beyond doubt. After the two discussed the battle on the battlefield of Xia Kingdom, Yi Xingchen made a new request to Allen: "Allen, you are the Minister of Defense. I hope that during your tenure, an effective combat system will be re-established. ”

Alan was a little surprised, and immediately asked, "Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with the current combat system?"

Although Alan was surprised, he didn't expect that Yi Xingchen immediately sighed.

It turned out that Yi Xingchen had long been very dissatisfied with the combat system of the Xinghua Empire. For example, in this battle of Jiangzhou alone, the army of the Xinghua Empire exposed many problems in terms of combat methods and layouts. For example, the imperial cabinet did not communicate well with the local government, the cooperation between the two sides was very poor, and at the time of the Battle of Jianguan, the empire did not even make sufficient preparations in front of the station, resulting in the final hastily dispatch troops and prepare grain and grass.

All these kinds of problems have exposed the combat system of the Xinghua Empire, which has big loopholes. If it weren't for the strong weapons of the Xinghua soldiers, and the soldiers of the Xinghua Army, because they received enough training to have a high enough combat quality, that is, they made up for the shortcomings of the combat system, I am afraid that the rule of the Xinghua Empire in Yunzhou would also have problems. There is also the problem of recruiting and training new recruits, and the reserve system is not perfect.

Yi Xingchen said: "Don't you think that the combat system of the Xinghua Empire is a bit chaotic? It is necessary to strengthen the ties between the central and local governments, and focus on national strategic goals. There is also the conscription system, and we need to establish a sound reserve system to maintain a certain number of troops and ensure the national defense line, instead of the current need to draw troops from various places. Also, we must digest the new occupation zone as soon as possible, the conscription system, we must take into account the peculiarities of the new occupation zone. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will lead the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense and study the various military systems of the Empire. Alan replied.

"Is the budget of the Ministry of Defense sufficient?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"Not enough!" replied Allen.

"What's missing?" Yi Xingchen said.

"Armored car, alloy armor, crystal gun, crystal cannon......" Alan laughed.

Yi Xingchen was taken aback when he heard this, but Allen was the strongest swordsman in the empire and one of Yi Xingchen's closest courtiers. Yi Xingchen trusted Allen very much, Yi Xingchen said: "Do you really dare to think, do you think the empire is so rich? What do you want to do?"

"Your Majesty, I propose that the Xinghua Empire form a special armored force. Alan said seriously.

"What kind of troops is that?" Yi Xingchen asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, I believe that there must be a ninth-level professional in the Xia Kingdom. Once our country is able to threaten the rule of the Xia Kingdom, the ninth-level professionals of the Xia Kingdom will definitely be dispatched. At that time, we will not have many means to deal with high-level professionals, and it is easy to lose our advantage and fail. So, I want to form a special forces unit that specializes in dealing with high-level professionals...... Blue Mercury has a high level of technology, and their alloy armor is extremely strong. If we are pros, we have individual armor that can block a single blow from a high-level pro, and we will have a chance to counterattack at close range. We can use high-energy bombs, heavy sniper rifles, missiles, crystal cannons and other weapons to fight back......" Allen explained in detail his idea and purpose of forming a special armored force.
