Chapter 196: The prince joins the army

When he arrived at the upstairs office, Bai Zhizhan learned that Zheng Jiangming was now an intelligence liaison officer stationed at the Navy Command, and that was just a few days ago.

In the morning, when Bai Zhizhan came, Zheng Jiangming happened to go out on errands, so he didn't see him.

After exchanging pleasantries, Bai Zhizhan thought of it. He was able to win a great victory in the West and East in the Guiat, and Zheng Jiangming's contribution to the rear was indispensable.

That's right, a lot of the key information was provided by Zheng Jiangming.

To be precise, it was forwarded by Zheng Jiangming.

Although he was only responsible for transmitting information, without his insistence and emphasis on the value of intelligence, the Navy Command might not have dealt with it in a timely manner.

For this reason, Zheng Jiangming broke into the commander's office several times to explain the relationship to Liu Changxun.

"I thought you would be there last night."

"There was a delay on the side of the Mastion Harbor, so I came late." Bai Zhizhan did not pay attention to the number of courtesies, Zheng Jiangming is his own brother, and he is polite but sees the outside.

"I received it today, so let's take a look." Zheng Jiangming took out an envelope from the safe, pulled out the documents inside and handed them to Bai Zhizhan.

He did not give the envelope to Bai Zhizhan.

This is a small move, but you can see the good or bad of the relationship.

Why?

This clearly shows that it is a top-secret document that not everyone can read, and Zheng Jiangming did not give the envelope to Bai Zhizhan, which is equivalent to saying that Bai Zhizhan did not know the nature of the document.

If something happens in the future, it will not implicate the White Stop War.

"Is it appropriate?" Bai Zhizhan asked more, after all, it was not a good thing to even affect his own brothers.

"You are the commander of the task force, and the establishment is directly under the headquarters, what is inappropriate?"

After Zheng Jiangming said this, Bai Zhizhan opened the document.

A battle plan can be regarded as a secret, but it is not a top secret, at least the generals at the level of Bai Zhizhan have the right to read the secrets.

However, it is not the Navy's operational plan, but the Army's operational plan.

Obviously, Zheng Jiangming went to do this in the morning.

The content is very detailed, but many places have been erased, except for the navy, which is almost all related to logistics.

To put it simply, it is when, to which port or bay where a temporary wharf was built, what types of war materials to be transported, and the quantity of various materials, the method and process of handing over to the army's combat units after arrival, and the arrangement of liaison personnel.

As for the writer's plan, it can be inferred from the time, place, and type of goods of supply.

After two flips, Bai Zhizhan fell silent.

The news I heard from Gui Boyong was not wrong, the army was indeed preparing for a high-flying advance, and was determined to conquer the Ice Storm Peninsula within the year.

This means that the Navy has to make adjustments.

In order to be sure that the Ice Storm Peninsula can be laid, the entire strategic plan will be revised, or even reversed?

In all strategic plans, the Navy is the main, and the Army is the auxiliary. Before sweeping the Guia Ocean and the Fanyan Ocean, the navy must be the mainstay. If there is a war with the Newland Federation next, I am afraid that until a decisive victory is achieved, the navy will be the main force.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhizhan raised his head and looked at Zheng Jiangming.

"Riding across the Ice Storm Peninsula is Situ Jingde, and behind him is the current saint."

At this moment, Bai Zhangzi was stunned.

Apparently, he had overlooked this before.

"The point is, the eldest prince is also over there."

"You mean ......"

"In the armored unit commanded by Lian Xusheng, he is a front-line officer, and I don't know the specific identity, and even if I know, I can't talk nonsense."

Bai Zhizhan nodded, indicating that he had understood.

In the history of the empire, it was commonplace for the prince to serve in the army and serve in the front-line combat units, and there was no need to be surprised at all.

To say, one of the most representative traditions of the imperial family.

Do not forget that during the last war, the current Shengshang, who was still the crown prince at the time, fought on the Western Front.

Although Emperor Shiwu, who set the rule that the prince must take the lead, his original intention was not to let the prince make military money, but to hope that the royal family could set an example and let the prince know how difficult it is to fight the world, so as to become a wise emperor in the future. But now, the prince has served in the front-line troops, more to gain the support of the army and lay the foundation for the future succession of the unification.

In essence, having the prince join the army became a means of protecting the interests of the royal family.

Obviously, this is also the reason why the Janissary armored troops were sent over and launched a fierce attack immediately after the start of the battle, turning the feint into the main attack.

What's the key?

That's right, that's the Great Prince!

Today, the Holy One is in his prime years, and it is not the time to establish a reserve. With the current system of the empire, it does not matter whether to canonize the crown prince, that is, to establish the prince.

As a result, several princes have the possibility of becoming princes.

The key is that there are three princes with such ambition and ability!

In addition to the eldest prince, the third prince and the fourth prince can also be regarded as the dragon and phoenix among the people, not only capable, but also have some appeal in the people and the army.

For the prince who wants to become the prince, the military merit is very important.

Obviously, the Praetorian Guard must be a big prince.

There is nothing strange that the eldest prince went to serve in the Praetorian Guard before he became an adult, and he started from the grassroots level, so he can be said to be a member of the Praetorian Guard. In the words of the outside world, the eldest prince took the same path that the current saint walked back then, making the Praetorian Guard his descendant.

It was also a tradition of the empire to let the emperor's eldest son serve in the Praetorian Guard.

The reason is also very simple: the Praetorian Guard is also the imperial forbidden army, nominally only under the command of the emperor, and is also responsible for the security of the imperial family.

At all times, there were royalty in the Praetorian Guard.

So, where did the third and fourth princes go?

The fourth prince is still young, less than thirteen years old, and even if he is very intelligent, he is not old enough to serve in the army.

The third prince was sent to the Imperial Naval Academy five years ago.

To count, it happens to be this year's graduation, to be precise, it has already graduated, and perhaps it has been assigned to a certain fleet.

According to tradition, the Three Princes must have used pseudonyms, and only the principal of the academy and several instructors directly under them knew the true identity of the Three Princes.

When you arrive at the unit, the commander of the unit to which you belong will also know.

Now, what else can be said?

The situation is clear at a glance, the eldest prince wants to catch up with the number one competitor for the throne, that is, the third prince, before he gets ahead, and get enough military exploits.

No matter how valuable the throne is, it is also a throne!

To say, in this world, I am afraid there is no more valuable throne than the throne of the Liang Xia Empire.

Bai Zhizhan smiled bitterly, perhaps this was the only emotion he could show now.

"Don't think about it, the Navy is the same."

"What?"

Bai Zhizhan was obviously taken aback, and his eyes were full of surprise and confusion when he looked at Zheng Jiangming.

"Specifically, I can't say more, you should be mentally prepared, and just pretend not to know when the time comes."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Bai Zhizhan had already understood, but Zheng Jiangming said that he couldn't say more, so he could only pretend not to know.

"It's just that I didn't call you here for this."

"What's more important?"

Zheng Jiangming smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer.

Bai Zhizhan was a little anxious, but he didn't ask, because he knew that Zheng Jiangming was a chronic man, and if he was in a hurry, he would only be angry with himself.
