"But what about soft water?" Sun Wenbin asked beside him, "There is no soft water, and if you use hard water to boil the boiler, it will damage the boiler at least and explode the boiler directly, this is no joke!" ”

"It's not a joke, but you're kidding!" Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing, making the other four executive committee members all stare at him and think that he had something different in his head, and after a while, he stopped laughing, sat up straight and said seriously, "Now there is no air pollution in this world, and the rain and snow in the sky must be soft water!" Where there is snow everywhere, that is, there is soft water everywhere, so the main thing to worry about is how our navy will transport these things to North China, and there is no problem at all about fuel and boiler water. ”

"According to you, the navy can also use tugboats for transportation." Du Yande said, "Just like Tang Xunliang said, drive a sail victory class and a steam victory class, both ships can carry more than 800 people, even if they are refitted, it is no problem to install a battalion on each ship, and get a few more transport ships, such as the Fuchuan Guangchuan, directly follow the victory class and drag it, and the train transportation will be." ”

"It's no problem to say, but you have to consider some more embarrassing issues," Yang Minghuan said, "This Steam Victory Class has just been launched, and the engine and boiler have been twists and turns in the construction process, who knows if it will break down in the middle of the road?" If it breaks, she'll cut down the mast, and see if you can get a whole bunch of soldiers to paddle back with the butts of their rifles. ”

"That's not it," Zhang Yuan waved his hand, "This steam ship has been tested, theoretically there will be no problems, the only trouble is that there may be a disconnect in the steam engine drive, so we have to bring a few sets of spare parts, just in case." And we also have small hair boats, and when we set off, we installed two on the steam ship, and if it was really a breakdown of the Victory class, we would use the small hair boat to tow the warship to the shore for repairs, and if we were really in a hurry, it would not be impossible to repair it while towing it forward with a small hair boat. ”

"We obviously have the most advanced technology in the world, how can we use it like a group of Hanako to sew and mend everywhere?" Yang Minghuan couldn't help but sigh, and Du Yande smiled on the side, "This can't be helped, it took many years for the steam engine to be put on board in the industrial revolution, how long have we been?" During this time period, all industrial agriculture is competing for resources, and in time, when the output of resources increases, we will not have to go around making trouble like now. ”

"Why? Why should the Foreign Legion be allowed to go? Why can't our army go? Xiao Mingwei's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and several executive committee members in the room couldn't help but look at each other, and no one dared to speak, "That's not what it means, the main thing is that the Foreign Legion is originally for war, since it has this function, why not let the Foreign Legion perform its duties?" Another voice rang out, and the man's voice was slow and coherent, and his pronunciation was a little strange, and when he heard it, he knew that the person who spoke was Naoki Maruyama, the chief of the General Staff of the Foreign Legion.

"Of course you want your troops to be more involved in the battle, don't you? But our army is the king of all arms! Moreover, there is no artillery in your establishment, and the artillery still needs the support of our army. Xiao Mingwei's voice immediately raised a few points, "In this way, don't you still need to communicate with our army before you can get artillery support?" And you have not received infantry artillery and infantry tank coordination training, when the battle really starts, the infantry almost steps on the explosive point to rush forward, and if you are not trained, the artillery will not dare to open fire, and you will not dare to rush forward, in case the fighter plane is delayed because of these, whose fault is it? ”

Naoki Maruyama has served as the chief of staff of the Foreign Legion since he arrived at the Oriental Port, and he also stayed with Hayashi Zhaisan in the "Infantry Academy" and received a lot of training in "new war theory", but after all, the teaching of these theories is gradual and cannot be achieved overnight. The theory of infantry artillery coordination has not been popularized in the military theory training of the Foreign Legion because the accuracy of the smoothbore gun cannot be reached at the moment, and as for the infantry and tan coordination, it is even more unheard of, so Maruyama doesn't know what to say, so he can only be silent at the moment. With the last Shabak Rebellion, although the main body of the rebellion came from the 123rd Company of the former Champa Port New Army, after all, it affected the overall reputation of the Foreign Legion, making them ashamed of it, and their morale dropped seriously for a while. At the same time, in fact, the morale of many arms of the army, navy, and air force declined, but the army, navy, and marines coordinated a large-scale landing warfare exercise, which improved morale a lot, but the Foreign Legion was not so lucky.

Until now, there are still some officers and soldiers of the Foreign Legion who are still under investigation because Shu Da led the troops to take refuge in South Annan, and these investigations are comprehensive, not only in terms of personal loyalty, but also in terms of personal economic conditions. Although most of these officers and soldiers belonged to the system of the old Zhanchenggang New Army, it was still because they belonged to the Foreign Legion, which still made the Japanese and military soldiers of the Foreign Legion feel very frustrated, and the entire Shabak was silent. Everyone knows that in such a situation, let alone ensuring combat effectiveness, even this army is now like having its soul drained, and if it takes a little longer, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will be no different from the Annan army.

Both Lin Zhaisan and Maruyama knew that it would be absolutely no good to go on like this, so they had been reporting to the Joint Staff Committee, but because Qian Longzhou was injured in the Shabak Rebellion, he was still in a state of recovery and could not return to the Military Commission, so the Foreign Legion did not have the support of the veterans, and people spoke lightly. Later, Lin Zhaisan had no choice but to mobilize Yang Muqin to react with the Executive Committee through his daughter, wanting to end the current troubles of the Foreign Legion as soon as possible. It's not that the executive committee doesn't want to solve this problem, but if the current mess of the Foreign Legion is not dealt with well, it will not work, even if it is Ruan Wenyu, who made meritorious contributions in the rescue of Qian Longzhou and other battles in the Shabak Rebellion, he can only be reinstated after passing the investigation, because if these things are not handled well, if they are not dealt with, it must be a hidden danger, such a hidden danger may not erupt in a year or two, it may even be buried in the Foreign Legion for ten years, twenty or even a hundred years, and then resurge when the situation is right. Therefore, it is better to overdo it than to deal with it casually, and we must be strict and serious and find out the corrupt elements.

The Foreign Legion used to have two internal forces, one was naturally the Champa Port New Army, which suffered heavy losses in the Shabak Rebellion, with hundreds of dead and wounded; Now all that remains is another group, the Japanese soldiers from the Ito Army. Although these Japanese soldiers were also sullen because of the investigation of the Foreign Legion, after all, they were professional soldiers in the past, and those who could enter the Foreign Legion to serve were even more elite among the elite, so they did not lose their enthusiasm in their usual training, especially in the stabbing practice and rifle shooting practice, which made Maruyama and Hayashi Zhai feel a little better.

"Uncle Xiao! You're here too! Another brisk voice came, and several members of the executive committee in the room couldn't help but cover their eyes in some pain, and when they heard the voice, they knew that the person who came was definitely Wu Di of the Marine Corps. Wu Di came directly from the coastal fortress, and he was even a little out of breath at this time. "Did you get the message? Neither the Marine Corps nor the Army went, only the Foreign Legion went? ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Mingwei's voice was obviously a little unkind, "I really don't know what this means!" Our army is well equipped, well-trained, and has been at the forefront of many battles in the past, and I don't know why we were excluded this time. ”

"yes, aren't the Marines always loyal?" Wu Di spoke in a loud voice, "Our marines have basically participated in every battle since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and such a large-scale expedition was handed over to the newly formed Foreign Legion not long ago, but they are ......" The voice stopped abruptly, and it was obvious that Wu Di was interrupted by someone.

"Our Foreign Legion is also loyal to the Senate, although there was a rebellion some time ago, but it was because the expansion of the establishment was not able to completely ensure the political examination of officers and soldiers, and now we have conducted a preliminary review of our own, and there is a counterintelligence department and several departments to jointly check the political ideology of soldiers, there will definitely be no problem!" Maruyama spoke much faster, and from time to time a sentence or two of Japanese came out of it, obviously holding back his strength to defend himself.

"Please come in," Du Yande walked to the door of the conference room and opened the door, whether it was a blessing or a curse or a curse, Sun Wenbin didn't expect such a major consequence when he sent out the text message, so Du Yande simply opened the door and invited the members of the Joint Staff Committee at the door in, "Come in and sit down, let's discuss it together." He said and looked out the door, not only the chiefs of staff of the Army Corps and the Foreign Legion, but even the chief of staff of the Navy Tang Xunliang and the commander-in-chief of the Air Force Yuan Zhenli also came together, but the two did not participate in the dispute at the door just now because they did not have too many different opinions.

As the five people sat down, the already small conference room suddenly seemed a little crowded, and several secretaries of the secretariat rushed in with hot water kettles and teacups, poured a cup of tea for the people who sat down and then rushed out, and finally the secretary gently closed the door of the conference room.

"Comrades of the Executive Committee, I am here to protest against the fact that our army is not allowed to fight in Shanxi!" Xiao Mingwei saw that no one spoke, and preemptively said, "The predecessor military group of our army has fought anti-encirclement and suppression battles, followed by the attack on Wu'an Village, the defense of Zhancheng Port, and the defense of Dongfang Port, and participated in every battle after the founding of the People's Republic of China. ”

"The battle to defend the port of Champa was fought by us!" Wu Di hurriedly defended, "Your army fought with the Medeno people in Dongfang Harbor at that time, and only we had the strength to deal with the barbarians in Champa Harbor. And we, the Marines, have always been loyal supporters of the Senate! Why are we not allowed to go to Shanxi? ”

"Comrades! Comrades! Please wait! Sun Wenbin hurriedly stopped their dispute, "There is a reason why we made the Foreign Legion to send troops. ”

"Yes, yes!" Yang Minghuan hurriedly said, "We will never question which branch of the military is not loyal to the Senate or disloyal to China, even if there was such a serious rebellion in the Foreign Legion some time ago, but it was only made by a small group of lawless elements who disregarded the prestige of the country and France, and it is not that the Foreign Legion is unreliable." On the contrary, in the Shabak Rebellion, the Foreign Legion took the initiative to take the initiative without the orders of the Executive Committee and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and actively counterinsurgency, especially the occupation of the arsenal and command building, which occupied the initiative for our subsequent counterinsurgency operations, and contributed even more to it, although political censorship has been carried out for a long time, but it will not hide the trust of the Senate and the Executive Committee in the Foreign Legion! ”

"So you're going to send the Foreign Legion, aren't you?" Xiao Mingwei's tone was obviously not good, and Du Yande hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Xiao, it's not like this, you think!" We are all soldiers in the war, and you used to be a commander, so you must be deeply touched by the multi-arm cooperation in battle! I just heard you talk about infantry and artillery coordination, so let's talk about this infantry and artillery coordination......"

"Don't! I know what you're trying to say. Xiao Mingwei stopped Du Yande's words, "The executive committee sees that so many arms want to go to Shanxi, so they are worried that there will be things that affect the battle due to poor communication and coordination, right?" ”

"That's right!" Du Yande hurriedly said, "You see, in the nineties, the Black Hawk fell, when the Mi Guoyan thought that if he captured Aideed, he could control Mogadishu and solve the civil strife in Somalia, so when he captured Aideed, he disorganized the assault force and mixed many different units into it, trying to share the credit, but in the end, no one was caught, and the loss was so big, and finally the Somali peacekeeping operation ended hastily. We went to Shanxi to quell the rebellion this time, to be honest, I was not worried that we would lose the battle at all, but if we sent troops of different branches of the army to quell the rebellion, we would inevitably stumble each other because we wanted to grab the credit," Wu Di was about to protest, but was interrupted by Du Yande's outstretched hand, "The marines disobeyed the order when they attacked Wu'an Village, so don't say that this kind of thing will not happen." What I am most afraid of now is that because the different classes want to take credit for each other, they will leave an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of, and when the enemy adapts to our style of play, he may come up with some way to make up for the gap between the two sides, and finally cause us serious losses. Du Yande picked up the teacup on the table and blew it, but it still felt a little hot, so he put it back again, "Instead of having such a danger, it is better to let a class face the enemy in this battle alone and win this battle with peace of mind." There are many opportunities for other troops to make a move! In the Dengzhou Rebellion next year, there are still so many Tunguska monkeys raging in Liaodong, isn't it? It doesn't hurt to let the Foreign Legion exercise first! ”
