Chapter 246 is different from the previous fourth
246 His Majesty sat there and said that he wanted to expand 5 group armies, and 5 armies were set up under the group army, with a total strength of about 300,000. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When those generals heard this, they all looked at His Majesty in shock, no one thought that His Majesty would expand at this time, and it stands to reason that the expansion would have been done a long time ago.
Bring it up now, and it is brought up together with the opening of the promotion channel, this is obviously coercion, so that the generals of these military departments agree, if they do not agree, then the promotion channel will be delayed, and then the children of those generals' families do not know how much they will have to sacrifice!
However, if the troops of the five group armies come out, it is obviously to weaken the control of their military headquarters over the troops, and they can think with their toes that the commanders of these five group armies will definitely be appointed by His Majesty, and he will definitely be loyal to His Majesty.
Five group armies are equivalent to troops in five theaters, which makes these generals very uneasy.
"Well, Your Majesty, isn't it a bit urgent to expand the 5 group armies, now the troop establishment on our side is enough, that is, the troops are still fighting, and the casualties are relatively large, if we supplement their troops, there are also more than 2 million land forces, I think it is enough!" The general stood there and said to His Majesty.
"Enough?" His Majesty looked at the general and asked.
"Yes. It is completely enough, now we cannot win, not because of the problem of troops, but because our generals will not fight.
After all, the empire has not fought a war for more than 100 years, so the establishment does not need to be expanded, but in terms of soldiers, we must supplement their troops, and at the same time, we also need to allocate some generals! General Zuo General Ma also spoke.
"Yes, I also agree with the opinion of the Great General and General Zuo, it is enough to prepare us, we have so many troops, concentrated, it is completely capable of defeating the coalition army.
Moreover, if it is to be expanded, I suggest that it be expanded in the previous theater troops, just like the previous Southwest Theater, and each theater will give them additional troops! The Forward General also stood there and spoke.
"I don't think it's enough, if it's enough, why do our troops retreat again and again, why do our troops have to be constantly replenished, and they are all just replenished, and immediately the troops will be disabled.
I'm going to form a new unit and use a new man to be the commander of this army! His Majesty sat there and spoke.
"I don't think it's a bit too much to expand by 5, and we don't know if this kind of army can fight a war, so I suggest that it be enough to expand by 2!" When the prince saw that the situation was not right, he immediately spoke.
"2? That's not enough, now we have lost so much land, according to the common people, and the low-level soldiers, they are very dissatisfied with our current practice of only knowing defense, and not taking the initiative to attack and regain lost territory, I think, 5 are a bit less! The fourth prince immediately spoke.
"You. Where do you know about military affairs, you haven't even been to the army to see it! When the crown prince heard the fourth prince say this, he wanted to reprimand him, but now that His Majesty was above, he couldn't help it, and could only find a reason to say it to him.
"I don't understand military affairs, but I've been in the household department before, I know the people, and I also understand what the people need? Now we have so many refugees that their greatest hope is to return home.
Also, do you know how much those refugees need to spend a day? 10 billion! 10 billion per day! Such a huge expense, the empire can't afford it for long, and there is also the problem of law and order, and now theft is flourishing everywhere, why? It's because those refugees have no money, they have to live, right?
I suggest, immediately form 5 group armies, and then wait for the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive to recover the lost territory of our country, now we are not without money, nor without soldiers, but without good generals, I recommend one person, Hu Hao.
Hu Hao was in the Southwest Theater before, and his combat exploits were ranked first, and in the second defensive operation, he annihilated 4 enemy armies, and at the same time, a few days ago, they also annihilated 2 corps of the coalition army.
Now they are fighting against the first army of the Mara country of the coalition army, although the fight is very hard, but it has not fallen behind, if Hu Hao has enough troops in his hands, I think, Hu Hao will definitely be able to take our troops and recover the country! The four princes stood there, first refuting the crown prince, and then recommending Hu Hao to His Majesty.
"I said that Hu Hao can't do it, Hu Hao was suspected of recruiting soldiers privately before, and he was too young and impetuous, although he had so many military exploits, but his ability to cause trouble was not small, and he offended several generals, in addition, just for the crime of recruiting troops privately, you can't use such a general!" The prince stood there and spoke.
"You let the troops of one division fight 4 armies, who has the ability? If it weren't for Hu Hao's private recruitment in Boba City, Latte City would have been taken by the coalition forces long ago.
Now Hu Hao's troops are still defending in Lat City, because he has privately recruited troops before, if he waits for the order to expand your military department, the empire will have died long ago! The four princes stood there and spoke, not only giving the crown prince over, but also offending the generals of the military department.
The four princes are not afraid of those generals in the military department, his mother was originally an ordinary person, and there is no power in the capital, so those generals' families have always been not optimistic about him, and they can't be offended, for the four princes, it doesn't matter at all, anyway, there is no one of their own.
"Well, Hu Hao, you can count one!" His Majesty heard it, nodded, and agreed.
"Father, no, Hu Hao is so young, he will be promoted to general, that will definitely not work, this will make other old generals unconvinced!" The prince immediately arched his hand to His Majesty and said.
"If you don't accept it, then talk about your military achievements, now is the war period, what is a general's ability, just rely on your military merits to speak, everything else is useless, especially qualifications, the most useless.
We can't give up on those who can fight just because the old generals can't fight, and they are still against those who can fight, right? At that time, who will be responsible for the collapse of the empire? The Four Princes stood there and continued.
And the prince turned his head to look at the four princes, the four princes had always been very honest before, and when they saw him as the prince, they were also very respectful, and at the monthly court meeting, the four princes basically didn't speak, what's wrong today?
"Well, what the fourth brother said makes sense, the empire can't stop expanding and not fighting back because of the opposition of those old generals, then the country will be destroyed at that time, who will be responsible?" His Majesty heard the words of the fourth prince and nodded appreciatively.
"Thank you, father, I also want to recommend one person, that is, Hu Hao's army commander, Li Tianyuan, who can let him serve as the commander of a group army!" The fourth prince continued to speak.
"What?" When the general heard it, he looked at the four princes in shock, they didn't know what happened to the four princes today, not only did they work against the prince, but they also specially promoted Jiang Kai's subordinates.
If it is really as the fourth prince said, then Jiang Kai has troops in one theater and two group armies, with a total strength of more than 1.2 million, which already accounts for almost one-third of the imperial army.
"Li Tianyuan, well, he is a lieutenant general, and it is okay to be promoted to general, but, fourth, do you know that he can fight?" His Majesty sat there and spoke to the Four Princes.
"I don't know, I know that now Li Tianyuan's son, who was the commander of the 87th Division, is now learning to fight with Hu Hao.
Once Li Tianyuan can take an army to fight, then, Li Tianyuan will definitely call Li Jinsong back, one is to assist him in fighting, and the other is that Li Tianyuan also wants Li Jinsong to take his place and cultivate his prestige in the army, and Li Jinsong and Hu Hao have a good relationship, I think, once there is a crisis, Hu Hao may help Li Jinsong resolve it!
This is the reason for my recommendation, mainly because I am not familiar with military affairs, and I don't know what the ability of the generals below is, I can only know the situation on the front line from some gossip in the capital! The Fourth Prince stood there and said.
"Ridiculous, the news from the grapevine, is it the real news?" When the prince heard this, he reprimanded the four princes!
"The grapevine can be true news, now we have not reported the news of the defeat on the front line, the news about the frontline operations outside is all negative news, but the news about Hu Hao is the news of the victory!" The fourth prince stood there and said.
"Then Li Tianyuan is to be determined, I also want to examine his command ability, from the current point of view, his ability is average, but, the fourth child, you said that his son Li Jinsong and Hu Hao have a good relationship, which is indeed a plus!" His Majesty sat there and said to the four princes with a smile.
"Thank you, Father!" The fourth prince immediately arched his hand and said.
"Anyone else?" His Majesty looked at the generals and asked!
"Your Majesty, I want to ask, as far as Hu Hao is concerned, do you dare to use it? Is he recruiting soldiers privately? The general immediately stood there and said to His Majesty.
"He's a 23-year-old young man, what ambition can he have? Recruiting soldiers privately is just for self-preservation, I can understand, I believe that as long as I am not thin on him, he will not mess around! I still believe in the people below! His Majesty stood there and spoke.
"But is it too fast to be promoted to general at the age of 23?" General Zuo Ma Zhenling also asked.
"I want to set him up as an example, so that the ordinary people in the world, as well as the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, know that as long as you have the ability, I will definitely reuse it!" His Majesty sat there and watched Ma Zhenling speak.
