Part 4 Journey Chapter 195: Slaughter the Bear! Thousands of miles together! (xiii)
"That's it."
Qianhua held up the tired marshal's hat with one hand and threw it to Liang Gensheng, who was accompanying the guards behind him.
"That's roughly the way the battle is going, if you still have anything unclear, you can ask these two directors now - who still has a problem?"
On both sides of the long oval conference table, the important ministers who decide the fate of millions of people are all sitting upright, not squinting, and the huge conference room is so quiet that only the sound of breathing remains.
"Very good—Su Mengxin, you can sit down."
Although no one said anything, Qianhua could keenly smell that in this seemingly calm atmosphere, there were all kinds of negative emotions including fear, apprehension, hesitation, and suspicion.
Fingers on the table, red lips lightly, gentle and tactful, seemingly simple words but implicit the irresistible majesty of the king.
"To sum up, the battle situation is at the most critical time, and I don't want to toss blindly, but some people just love tossing, so I have to force me to make a move. Okay now, I'm in charge of the military order, and in the future, the conference will be small, and I'll have a few heads, I can see it, these blind guys, don't they just want to be tired to death! Pity them for exhausting their calculations, although I don't have many heads, but I have all the loyal and virtuous ministers to help me wholeheartedly, I am not afraid, if I want to be tired, I have to tire you first, right? ”
"The emperor distinguishes between right and wrong, decisively and resolutely, goes to the villain and is close to the virtuous, eradicates the traitor and determines the hearts of the people, and the ministers are full of admiration, and they will wholeheartedly obey the orders and assist, do their best, and die." Prime Minister Yang Jung-kim, who is also the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, took the lead in expressing his loyalty.
"The ministers and Premier Yang are of the same mind." Minister of Home Affairs and Chairman of the Home Affairs Committee Teo Chee Koh immediately followed suit.
As soon as the spiritual leaders of the military department and civilian officials spoke, everyone echoed one after another, representing that the navy did not dare to fall behind. He stood upright. Singing in an official tone of 200 percent, he shouted: "All the generals of the Imperial Navy swear to the emperor's liver and brain, and they will never give up!" ”
"I am very pleased that the secretaries are so considerate, and I hope that we will work together. Mutual aid for the country's fortunes, open my towering Chinese hegemony for all ages! ”
"My emperor is wise, long live the empire!"
After the slogan was shouted, everyone was satisfied - Qianhua received the effect she wanted, and everyone confirmed their safety.
What you say is not necessarily what you think in your heart, but the atmosphere has been done enough, in this passionate and loyal atmosphere. In order to draw a line with the "blind tossed guys". Everyone should not only pay attention to their own innocence, but also take the initiative to supervise others, and show their loyalty to Her Majesty the Empress, who "does not like to toss and suppressed the toss elements with her own hands" by digging out the "tossing elements" around them.
And since Her Majesty the Empress has already stated that those who help her wholeheartedly and work hard for her are loyal and virtuous ministers, and they automatically draw a line with the tossers, they naturally should not be implicated and liquidated - who in this room has not had such and such a public and private relationship with Liu Bailiang and his party? After the lightning coup, the ministers who did not know the truth urgently needed it. It is this seemingly empty guarantee of security promise.
The most important thing is that whether the ministers are dedicated or not is subjectively judged by Her Majesty the Empress, in fact, this means the regency system of the five elders since the first year of the Constitution. It collapsed with the collapse of Liu Bailiang's party.
Sooner or later, everyone here will understand. Starting today, she. Emperor Liu Qianhua of Chengxian has mastered the power of personal dictatorship that is on par with his father Emperor Kaihong Liu Yun, and even far beyond in some aspects!
This distorted world will usher in the most gorgeous changes in its own hands.
From the moment she stepped into this conference room, Qianhua kept turning this seemingly hypocritical sentence in her heart, and at this moment, she really experienced the pleasure of holding the highest power in the empire, however, for her, this is just a small reward on the long journey, the important thing is not at this time, the real meaningful thing is still in the far, far away future......
If you don't manage the present, I'm afraid it won't be easy to even live to see the sun tomorrow, right?
The corners of his mouth flashed with layers of ripples of self-deprecation and pride, and slowly faded off his spotless white gloves, Qianhua deliberately nodded at Yan Fu, who was still standing as solemnly as a telephone pole: "Yan Aiqing, please sit down-I felt it just now, mainly I hope you can eliminate your worries, focus on your own duties, don't think too much, you are very busy, so I won't delay everyone's time, now let's get to the point-
"From today, I will officially take over the supreme command in wartime, and I have the right to make decisions on the spot on all matters related to the command, and my words are military orders, but this does not mean that I can do whatever I want, and the previous small meetings of the General Assembly must be held when it is needed. When the meeting was held, the secretaries were also invited to speak their minds freely, and although they debated, they should have something to say and have a basis for what they said, and they should not let off empty cannons, engage in disputes of will, and waste everyone's time. ”
Speaking of this, Qianhua glanced at Yang Zhengjin and found that he was looking at Zhang Zhigao opposite him expressionlessly, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart.
"Today, this is the first time that I have personally exercised the right to command, and all aspects must be taken care of first, and there are many clues, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions.
This is the end of humility, and the time has come to show what you can do.
"Everyone has listened to Su Sanling's report, and I think that there are three most important battlefields at present: first, between the Irtysh River and the Ob River, with Saicheng and Acheng as the axis; the second is around the city of Ke on the banks of the Yenisei River; The third is the city of Yicheng on the shores of Lake Baikal. Among them, the situation on the battlefield between the rivers is the most critical, and the rear support is most needed. ”
Yang Zhengjin took the opportunity to continue: "The emperor sees it very accurately, and the minister thinks that the battle between the rivers is related to the overall situation of the front against Russia, and now the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the enemy is attacking and defending, and it is necessary to go all out to help. The one who is taking the lead...... Let Jiang Wentao do it, in the final analysis, it is also a matter of transportation, and it is more convenient for the Minister of Transportation, I don't know ...... emperor."
"That's a good idea, Jiang Wentao, what do you think?"
Jiang Wentao, who had a bird's nest-like messy hair, helped the huge black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose that covered half of his face, squinted and muttered, "No problem, no matter how busy you are, you can't be busy anyway...... The committee is a disaster......"
Qianhua smiled slightly, and automatically filtered out Jiang Wentao's complaints after "no problem".
"Then according to what Premier Yang said - Su Sanling, you come to draw up military orders. The name of the committee is to be called the Special Committee on North-Western Military Transport. Jiang Wentao, you make a list of the required personnel and powers, report as you go, and start the work as soon as possible, the goal is to complete the delivery of reinforcements and materials scheduled to the Hejian battlefield 5 days in advance, that is, before August 10th-Su Sanling, I didn't say the wrong date, right? ”
Su Sanling, director of the Operations Division of the General Staff, nodded again and again like a chicken: "The emperor remembers too accurately, that's right, the original date is indeed August 15." ”
"Okay, this important matter will be handed over to Jiang Wentao, and before tomorrow, I will see the report."
Jiang Wentao's face was bitter, but under Yang Zhengjin's threatening gaze, he had to nod helplessly.
"As for Kecheng, Su Sanling, you write it down and send a telegram to Wang Zhi. First, urge the Kewu Group to join forces with the 18th Group Army as soon as possible, but the strategy for the attack on Kecheng should be carried out in priority and urgency depending on the progress of the battle between the rivers, and it is imperative not to startle the snakes and affect the great plan of the counterattack against the rivers to annihilate the enemy. Second, order the troops of Yicheng to be vigilant, not to relax their offensive because the enemy is seeking peace, and no matter how the situation changes, it is necessary to seize the fortress before the original deadline and open up the line of communication to Kecheng. ”
"The above is the military order business of the Russian front. Next, turn to the Anglo-Indian front, the long-prepared I operation will be the largest battle in the history of the empire, in the middle, it is very likely that the largest naval battle in human history will break out - Yan Fu, this battle is the protagonist of your navy, tell me, how prepared is the navy? ”
Yan Fu (Yan Zongguang), who was famous in another time and space for compiling the Theory of Heavenly Evolution and actively participating in the enlightenment of modern Chinese thought, had to do his best to fulfill his duties as chief of staff of the navy.
"Yes, just as the chief of operations just mentioned, from the beginning of June to the end of July, the main force of the combined fleet went back and forth between the South China Sea and the Sea of Japan exercise grounds, and conducted 50 consecutive days of high-intensity joint training, focusing on such subjects as communications, artillery, and aviation, testing the performance of new mechanical and electrical equipment and carrier-based aircraft, and carrying out full pre-war mobilization. At present, the morale of the whole fleet is high, full of confidence, and ready to deal a heavy blow to the enemy at any time......"
"In order to ensure the performance of the main ships when they participate in the war, the fleet took advantage of the training interval to arrange for the ships to enter the port for maintenance in turn, and after the special training, the main gun barrels were specially replaced for the capital ships......
"In order to enhance the fleet's reconnaissance and monitoring capabilities, the Fifth Air Fleet, which is mainly equipped with airships, will be formed with two newly completed floating carriers and old floating ships, which will play an important role when the weather conditions are suitable......"
“…… Finally, in order to be more confident in luring the Jericho fleet out of the decisive battle, with the cooperation of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, some weak information was disseminated to the other side through various channels, such as: A certain aircraft carrier or capital ship of our army was injured by a mine; Japan and Korea are separated from our country, and their navies are unwilling to contribute to us; The Second Fleet's Belu Task Force, which was sent to reinforce the Southeastern Fleet, and the capital ships stationed in Hawaii did not return to the mainland, etc., ......etc.
