Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sherive's Plan
"Marshal, now that Vientiane City is very well defended, I'm afraid it is impossible for us to take this city in a short period of time. If we can't take Vientiane City quickly, I'm afraid that the domestic military department will hack us again to exert pressure, and we will ......," said a senior Balen'ou officer to a man wearing the uniform of the Balen'ou Supreme Commander.
The man who wore the uniform of the Supreme Commander of the Baren'ou Army, and at the same time wore the Order of the Round Shield, the highest honor in the Baren'ou army, was now the Supreme Commander of the Baron'ou Army in Silverstone, Field Marshal Seurif. Although Marshal Sherrif was old, he was a leading figure among the domestic hawks, and his radical words and deeds caused an uproar in the Baleno. This is the reason why he was able to sit as the supreme commander of the entire Baren'o invasion army.
Now Xiu Lifu is sitting on the throne of the Marquis of Monroe, the original lord of Silverstone City, and the killing aura on his face is very strong: "You waste, you can advance by leaps and bounds when you care about Toth, but in this small, backward Vientiane City, you actually stopped!" I'm ashamed of you! ”
The man who had reported to him before said cautiously: "Marshal, it's not that the people below are inactive, it's just that their defense is too hard. And a few days ago, Mo Geda, the supreme leader of the Liedong Federation, came to Vientiane City with an army of 5,000 people. I'm afraid they're going to fight desperately in Vientiane City, and if we still carry their edge like we do now, I'm afraid we'll be very sad......"
Shurif said angrily: "Fubo! You are growing the morale of others and destroying your own prestige! If you dare to spread this kind of rhetoric in my army again, be careful that I will remove you from your post immediately! Are you a Balono, or are you from their Liedong Federation? ”
When Fubo heard that Xiurif actually buttoned such a big hat on himself, he immediately panicked: "Marshal Xiurif, I really didn't mean that. I'm thinking about our Valeo legion, just thinking about not being so tough! Why don't we withdraw our troops and rest for a while, and then take a slow look at the situation...... I'm really not disturbing the morale of the army, I'm afraid that our army will lose too much and the morale of the army will be unstable! ”
"You still dare to be hard-mouthed!" Shurif was completely annoyed: "Fubo, from now on you don't want to be the deputy chief of staff of the staff department anymore!" Immediate suspension! Someone, call me the chief of staff of the general staff, and I will set up a new deputy staff officer! ”
When Forbo heard this, he was so angry that his teeth itched, but he didn't dare to say anything, because after all, Shorif was the supreme commander of the entire Baren'o army, and of course whatever he said was what he said, and no one had the right to object. And he also holds the power of life and death of all soldiers, and he was still restrained before he conquered the country of Itos, but since the country of Itos was defeated, the nature of Serif has been exposed. His cruel and brutal mentality hung like a sharp blade over the heads of the entire Baron's army, putting everyone in danger.
Let's just talk about today's matter, originally Forbo was absolutely thinking about the entire army of Baleno, but in the eyes of Xiurif, it became his ulterior motives. Fubo couldn't find a place to reason, and Fubo was a high-ranking officer in the Balen'ou army, and he was on an equal footing with the top commanders of the second-level corps, that is, the young marshals that the soldiers often called, but now he was exempted by Xiurif. This also shows that Sheriff will do anything for his little desire for power!
The entire Balen'o army now numbered about 780,000 men, divided into three first-class corps, the supreme commander of the first-class corps was usually called the Grand Marshal, and each first-class corps was divided into two second-class corps, and the commander of the second-class corps was usually called the major marshal. Each second-level corps is divided into three third-level corps, and the top commander of the third-level corps is usually the commander.
And the supreme commander of the three first-class corps was this Lord Suriv, who was the supreme commander of the entire Balen'ou army, and was called a field marshal. He was also the only marshal in the entire Baren'o army, with no other semicolon. However, in Barron, the few big bulls in the domestic military department who can sit on an equal footing with Sherif must of course be excluded.
Fubo now thought viciously in his heart that even if he was dismissed, he would return to Balonou and report the current situation to his uncle. His uncle was one of the few big men in the Barron European Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his position was even higher than that of Seurif. Because although they all have the same rank and rank, their military exploits are different.
Forba's uncle was awarded the Order of the Patriotic Order of the Special Degree in the Great Patriotic War in Balen'ou, which was the highest honor in the Great Patriotic War. Fuba's uncle was one of the twelve people who received the highest honor in the Great Patriotic War, but he was the youngest. So now the people who have won the honor with him have passed away one by one, but he is still alive in the world and has become a military bull.
Of course, no matter what happened in the Baren'ou military world, they couldn't get past Fubo's uncle, and they couldn't get past Fubo's uncle at all. Because his old man's reputation and prestige have reached the peak, even the current head of the Baron'ou hawks, that is, the highest governor of the current Baron'ou government, has to treat him politely.
Now that Xiurif is actually relying on the power in his hands to suppress the righteous Fubo, if his uncle knows all this, I am afraid that it is difficult to say whether Xiurif can sit firmly in the position of the marshal of the Balen'o army.
Xiu Lifu is not a person with a good brain, of course he knows that since he offended Fuba, there is no possibility of reconciliation. It was impossible for him to let Fubo go to his uncle to complain about himself, so Shuriv made a quick decision and gave an order to the staff below. The content of this order was very simple, but the chief of staff of the staff was very shocked when he read it.
The original words of the order were: Since Fubo was suspected of being a foreign enemy, the General Staff immediately put him under house arrest. However, until you get the final information, you must not abuse Fubo, and you must give him good food, drink, and good care. It's better to raise him for nothing and fat. Of course, Xiurif gave such an order with his own considerations, although he wanted to kill Fuba, who relied on his uncle's power and was disrespectful to him. However, he was afraid that Fubo's uncle would run wild, so he chose a compromise solution.
After locking up Fubo, he gave him good food, drink, and shelter, but did not give him personal freedom, and he was able to prevent him from going to his uncle to sue Xiu Rifu for his black state. Surif was confident that the Bareno army would defeat and occupy the Liedong Federation, so after he completely won the Liedong Federation, if Fubo's uncle knew the details of the matter when he returned to China, he would not be able to embarrass him at that time.
Because since the Great Patriotic War, no one has expanded the territory at all, and now Sherif led a large army to expand the territory of Balono to an entire country, that is, the former Scorching Sun Federation. What kind of credit is this, presumably if Xiu Lifu doesn't say it, Fubo's uncle will not know it, how can he be embarrassed by Xiu Lifu, the hero who has contributed the most in this war of aggression?
What kind of person is Showree? If he was just a reckless man, it would be an exception to be able to sit in the position of a third-level corps commander. Now that he is able to sit in the position of marshal commander of the entire Valen'o army, it shows that he is a very scheming man. If others compare him to those reckless men, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will make the person who looks down on him regret it, and he will regret it for the rest of his life.
At this time, after the chief of staff of the staff received the order, he came to the headquarters with some delays and took Fubo away. Although he especially didn't want to carry this black cauldron, but Xiurif's authority and hegemony were there, and he had to listen if he didn't listen. What can they do if they are reluctant, what can they do if they are not convinced, under the oppression of powerful power, they can only bow their heads and accept their fate, which is a true portrayal of the chief of staff and Fubo.
After they were gone, Surif summoned the commanders of the three First Class Corps. Although he severely rebuked Forbo's war-fearing thoughts, he knew that the current Bareno army was probably thinking this way from top to bottom, so he wanted to gather people to discuss a solution.
The commanders of the three first-class corps looked at each other, they had no idea what it meant by Suuriv suddenly calling them. Now several first-level corps have subordinate second-level corps fighting on the front line, and everyone's attention is on the frontal battlefield in Vientiane City, so Xiurif suddenly called them over, which makes people wonder a little, does he want to know about the current war situation?
Xiu Lifu looked at the three people sitting below, the four of them can be said to be the four most powerful people in the current Balen'u army, so Xiu Lifu is still more polite to them: "Everyone, you have also seen the current war situation, our battle is not very ideal, the defense of Vientiane City is very strong, and the Liedong Federation Army has also shown a level of bravery that we can't imagine at all." I think the level of bravery and good fighting of the Liedong Federation Army is probably comparable to that of our Balono, which is not a good sign! ”
As he spoke, he also observed the expressions of the three first-level corps commanders, and seeing that their expressions were quite calm, he was more satisfied, and continued: "Since our results are not too satisfactory on the side of Vientiane City, and the other party's troops are all concentrated here, why don't we think differently?" ”
"What's the idea?" Several senior officers asked.
Xiu Lifu said confidently: "We might as well continue to attack the fortress in Vientiane City, and then send troops to divide into two roads, all the way to the north to Rao Vientiane City, and then go straight to the Silver Tower City behind Vientiane City." After taking the Silver Tower City, Vientiane City is surrounded by us, how long do you think they can hold on? ”
"As for the other way, let's go directly to the south to kill Daheng City, our soldiers have hit their capital, and it is impossible for them not to go back to save them. In this way, we can take advantage of the situation and take the MixC directly, what do you think? ”
The three officers were silent after hearing his plan, and Xiurif was a little surprised: "Why don't you react?" Isn't my plan good? ”
One of the first-class corps commanders said with a wry smile: "Marshal, your plan is good, but I'm afraid it won't be realized, there are too many loopholes!" ”
"What?!" When Xiu Lifu heard that this guy dared to say that his plan had too many loopholes, he couldn't help but want to be angry again. But thinking that he still had to rely on them, he forced the anger in his heart to suppress it, and then said slowly: "Tell me, where is this loophole?" ”
The officer cautiously said: "Marshal, don't be angry, what I said is really the truth. That's the case, if we send troops directly to the north, we will encounter a city-state, which is also a city-state belonging to the Liedong Federation, and its name is Northern Xia City. This city-state actually has nothing, and it is not powerful, but the only tricky thing is that this Northern Xia City nominally joins the Liedong Federation, but it is the personal domain of Lord Wooton! ”
It was the first time that Sheriff had heard about it: "What? Lord Wooton? Are you talking about, His Excellency Wooton, the Senator of the House of Representatives of Balono? ”
The officer nodded and said, "Exactly, before we were hawks, this Lord Wooton made a lot of efforts. Our Excellency the President of the present Baluno Government has to pay great respect to Mr. Wooton, and I remember that before we sent our troops from the country, it was written in the Secret Minutes that the Northern Summer City should not be disturbed, and if you look at it now, this summary may still be there. ”
Xiu Lifu immediately took out the minutes from his drawer, opened it, and saw that there was indeed such a sentence in it, and his heart suddenly trembled a little. Fortunately, there is a reminder from this subordinate, otherwise, if he moves Beixia City, I am afraid that he himself does not know what the consequences will be, maybe the best consequence will be to remove himself from his post and investigate!
At this time, Xiu Lifu said again: "We are just passing near the Northern Xia City, and we don't pass through their city, so it's always okay, right?" ”
The officer shook his head and said, "Most of the land south of Beixia City and northeast of Vientiane City belongs to Beixia City. So if our army is going to pass, it must pass through their land, and then they will certainly not agree. Because Mr. Wooton has said that the most important thing he hates is to be disturbed, especially in the military, and he does not want to see it at all. It's Mr. Wooton's season in Northern Summer City, and if we insist on passing through North Summer City, I'm afraid it's ......."
Xiu Lifu already had a headache at this time: "So, our plan to take the north is simply impossible?" ”
The commander of the first-level corps nodded: "Yes, it can't be!" Marshal, it's not that I don't support your plan, it's just that we can't be careless, there are some constraints in all aspects, and this is also a helpless thing! ”
Xiu Lifu stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, then turned back sharply and said, "Then we will take the south of Vientiane City and go straight to Daheng City, this is always okay, right?" ”
At this time, the commander of another first-class corps said: "I have tried, Your Excellency Marshal, the Sabins Corps under the Second Corps under my command took the grassland south of Vientiane City, and when they attacked Daheng City, all of them evaporated on the grassland. And all I know is that they were attacked twice and then never heard from again! (To be continued.) )
