Chapter 287: Candidates to Lead the Troops

The commander-in-chief of the army, as the commander-in-chief of the rear, will communicate with the front operations department on the home territory and jointly make judgments on the campaign. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the commander of the front always needs to be selected, and there are more candidates on the army side, including Fu Helin, who has been there and is more familiar with the situation there, and he has also participated in the rescue of Sun Chuanting, so it can be said that he has a lot of experience.

In one is Lu Yong, the commander of the city defense of Chang'an Town, he is also very experienced, he has participated in the domestic settlement of the indigenous people many times, and he has rich combat experience, but he is younger than Fu Helin in terms of age, of course, age is not too big a problem.

After all, there are a lot of young officials in the government now, and the same is true for the military, if you want to find out all the ones who have a certain age and experience, there are actually not many, and there are only a few people in the crowd, you can't get all those middle-aged people who have not received military training.

In addition to these two, there is another candidate in the army who has been relatively hot recently, Li Hongliang, the reason why this guy has been relatively hot recently is because he participated in the local clearance operation, and a squad of people successfully captured more than 3,000 people.

This is quite powerful in the entire history of Australia, and no one has relied on twenty people to capture 3,000 people, although he is indigenous, but it definitely shows the problem, his ability is very good.

If it was luck once, it would definitely not be luck a few times, and he had already captured several times more than ten times the prisoners with a small number of troops ten times in a row, providing an effective labor guarantee for the infrastructure construction of Xinluo Town.

At present, these three candidates in the army are all popular candidates, and in terms of age, Fu is about the same age as Lin and Li Hongliang, only Lu Yong's age is slightly younger, but it does not mean that there is no advantage at all.

Lu Yong is the commander of the army, Chen Jun, he likes Lu Yong very much, and has always taken him with him, this time the front-line commander can be said to be a good place to gild, as long as this battle is over, there is no need to think about it, there is absolutely no problem with coming back to mix the rank of colonel.

In fact, the army is not completely controlled by Chen Jun, Fu and Lin are Xu Renguo's favorite people, and the hope of victory is also very high, while the other one does not have any backers, but he has a high support rate among the soldiers.

That alone is enough to give him the ability to compete with the other two in this competition.

Therefore, for a while, the army really couldn't come up with the decision of who would be the commander of the front, and the selection of the navy was very fast, and Sun Yang was the key training object in the navy, and Wang Tiezhu was likely to be transferred to the post of defense minister, and the affairs of the navy in the later period would be slowly handed over to him to deal with.

Sun Yang's age is almost forty, and if he takes over the post of naval commander at this age, he is not too young, compared to Fu and Lin, he is really not young.

The Navy will send at least six warships to participate in this military operation, and the army will send two battalions to participate in the operation, with a total strength of about 2,000 troops.

The simultaneous coordinated operation of land and sea is a test of Australia's military cooperative combat capability.

In order to better participate in the battle, the Qianwang Iron Hammer has asked all ships to be overhauled, and this time the Perfect does not participate in direct action, and is completely involved in steam engine sailboats.

Of course, the main thing is that the perfect is too wasteful, in addition to the waste of fuel, there is also a waste of resource allocation, a perfect ship can directly fit two battalions of soldiers, you are sending other warships together, so isn't it a waste.

The natives don't have a navy, and even if the natives have boats, they are small fishing boats or something, and such boats are not enough to see, let alone what attack strength, whether they have this ability or not.

According to the survey, the natives did not have boats, and the main operation of the navy was to send army soldiers to the shore and then launch an attack on the aboriginal camp on the shore, and they could not do anything other than two tasks.

You can't ask the soldiers of the navy to pick up their guns and go directly to the shore to fight, so this time the navy is just coordinating and cooperating with the operation, and the protagonist is still the army.

The army is the protagonist, and to say that the selection of a front-line commander is really different from the navy, it is not so casual, it is related to the victory or defeat of the entire battlefield.

Recently, in order to elect a forward commander, all three candidates have been summoned back to the capital Chang'an Town, and the purpose of calling them back is to hear if they have any opinions on reading this operation.

If so, it will be based on this to determine whether they have the ability to command and who to choose.

Fu Helin actually has a great advantage, he directly commanded and participated in the clearance operation in the early stage, and now choosing him is helpful for the operation, he understands the characteristics of the indigenous people there, and can formulate the deployment and planning of the operation according to this.

But Fu Helin is Xu Renguo's man, and if Chen Jun wants to completely establish his prestige in the army, he must get Lu Yong up, so there will be twists and turns.

As for Li Hongliang, it is certain that he is either a staff officer or a deputy commander, after all, without a big backer, it is difficult to gain support.

But it doesn't matter, for him to be able to participate in this battle, it is equivalent to going to gild, and he will definitely be rewarded and praised when he comes back, and he himself is not so willing to be this commander, after all, the age is there, other people's opinions will definitely have, he doesn't want to be stared at, that feeling is not good.

So among the three people, he is the most relaxed, as if nothing happened, he doesn't write a plan, he doesn't move around or anything, he just eats, sleeps, and chats with friends when he's fine.

This is a wise move, and it also makes the leaders take a fancy to him even more, for example, Chen Jun thinks he is very good, if it weren't for Lu Yong, maybe he would choose him, of course, it's okay to win him over, after all, as a new star, it's still very good.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has won respect through indisputability, and Fu Helin also said that if he became the commander-in-chief, he would choose this guy as his staff officer.

The final voting result was very unexpected, there was basically no difference in the number of votes between the two people, and in the end, Chen Jun made concessions and decided to let Fu and Lin be the front commanders, as for the deputy, Lu Yong would be the deputy, and the staff officer candidate would be directly Li Hongliang without thinking about it.

Therefore, the selection of the main commanders at the front of this operation was all settled, and finally it was some small things such as the study of the battle plan, and it can be said that the time to go out into battle was another step forward, and it was only at this time that the soldiers could actually feel that they were getting closer and closer to the operation, because the intensity of the training had increased.
