Gao Hong on the side said sharply: "Lord Marshal, now it is because of the instability of the army caused by the deduction of military salaries by these officers, and only by executing them all can it be reversed." Please remember the URL of this site: . Since these people dare to embezzle military salaries, they should have the consciousness of being arrested, so these people must be shot to set an example. ”

Marshal Kaolan said with a bitter face: "But these people are all nobles of our country, and the strength behind them is not small." Seeing that the plea failed, Kaolan could only tell the truth, hoping that the two would be able to scruple about this matter considering the impact on the political situation at this time.

Seeing that Marshal Kaolan had no choice but to tell the truth, the corners of Chen Fei's mouth on the side turned up slightly, and he estimated that he used the other party's words to make a round and said: "In this case, we can't make it difficult for the marshal, let's be accommodating." ”

Gao Hong and Chen Fei looked at each other, and both of them saw the smile in each other's eyes. Gao Hong cleared his throat and nodded reluctantly: "In this case, we will give the marshal a face, recover the embezzled funds from these people, and then cut off the military position and imprison him for two years." Hearing that these people did not have to be killed, and that his responsibility was less, Marshal Kaolan breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Marshal Kaolan walking out of the headquarters of the Guards with relief, Gao Hong and Chen Fei looked at each other and smiled, one of them sang with a white face and the other with a red face, and the effect was really remarkable. In fact, they didn't plan to kill these officers from the beginning, what they wanted was to control the military power, not to offend those local nobles of the St. Martin Empire, after all, the strong dragon does not suppress the ground snake, and although the Chinese Leader is strong, he cannot offend these Ground Snakes, which will not benefit the Chinese Lord.

At the behest of Gao Hong and Chen Fei, the gendarmerie of the Chinese collar held a public trial meeting attended by all the soldiers. For the public trial, the soldiers felt quite new, which they had never done before. What surprised the soldiers even more was that at the public trial, the corrupt officers were interrogated one by one, and all the corrupt officers were greeted by Marshal Kaolan, who did not do anything drastic, but directly bowed their heads and confessed and handed over the embezzled money.

The men were then sentenced by the gendarmerie to two years in prison, but Gao Hong and Chen Fei were kind enough to reassure the officers and told them that this was a measure of last resort to save the morale of the army, and that they would be treated with the best possible treatment and would never let them suffer.

These officers are the second generation of officials who came here to gild, and they were originally very relaxed, but because of the turmoil of the current situation, they were tortured by the life on the border.

Lately they have been worried about being killed in battle, and they have long been tired of this kind of life, and now they are still retained in the army, and they eat and drink all day without worrying about it, which makes them very satisfied.

The two armies of the St. Martin Empire had lost almost all of their commanders, and the troops had become scattered, but Gao Chen and the others had already calculated, and they immediately announced that the Chinese Consular Guards would send instructors to conduct a month-long intensive training for the soldiers of the St. Martin Empire, and after the training, a large-scale competition of the whole army would be held.

Gao Chen and the others took advantage of the aftermath of punishing a large number of officers to announce that the rankings of the big martial arts competition would be ranked, and then the officers at all levels were appointed according to their ranks.

Hearing that they had the possibility of becoming officers, these soldiers were all excited, although the instructors were very strict, they were still very enthusiastic and voluntarily cooperated with the training, and in just one month, the combat effectiveness of the entire St. Martin Empire's army was raised to a higher level.

In the next big competition, all the soldiers were full of energy, and after the company-level preliminaries, the brigade-level rematch, the final was also over between you and me.

The last two soldiers, who won the first and second places according to the points, became the new commanders of the two armies, and the other soldiers who ranked first were also appointed officers at all levels.

These soldiers were all born in the ranks, and they did not have that kind of condescending posture towards the lower soldiers, so they were very easy to win the support of the lower soldiers. What's more, these soldiers were all from poor backgrounds, and they were incompatible with those nobles, which made them even closer to the Chinese collar.

After the appointment of these soldiers was completed, Gao Hong announced that the St. Martin's ** team began to implement military independence according to the military model of the Chinese leader, so as to prevent officers at all levels from embezzling military salaries, but with the lesson of the last time, I believe that no one will do anything that violates military discipline.

The soldiers are well-trained, the morale is high, the officers and men are concentric, and the upper and lower levels are harmonious. In just over a month, although the noble officers were imprisoned and overheaded, Marshal Kaolan still had to admit that the combat effectiveness of this army had increased more than a notch, and now they could be regarded as an iron army in the New World. Although there is still a certain gap between the combat effectiveness and the Chinese Guards, it is much stronger than the Bostonians on the other side.

Let those soldiers become high-ranking officers, or even army commanders, Gao Hong and the two are selfish.

Although these men had excellent grades, they had no experience as officers and could not command a large army at all, so they took advantage of this to incorporate some of their staff officers into the army of St. Martin.

With the assistance of these professionals, those inexperienced new officers will inevitably rely on these staff officers, and this will achieve the goal of allowing the Chinese collar staff officers to gradually control the army.

Anyway, these St. Martin troops only need to be handed over to their own command, and they don't need to have the ability to fight independently at all. With enough soldiers, Gao Hong and Chen Fei began to divide labor.

Chen Fei's 2nd Division and St. Martin's Imperial 2nd Army continued to garrison the border area to guard against possible Bostonian interference. Gao Hong led the 1st Division and the 3rd Army to sweep through the northern part of the St. Martin Empire, echoing Qiu Yu'an's forces in the central part of the St. Martin Empire, threatening the rebels' defense line from the flank.

With the revelation of this incorporation, Gao Hong's troops were absorbed wherever the troops of the Saint-Martin Empire went, and as for those rebels, they had not been trained at all, at best, they were just armed mobs, and now there was the pacification policy of the Chinese leader, and these people were easily appeased, so the captured rebels were disarmed and dismissed directly except for the leader who was detained.

The Chinese Consulate army used moderate means to restore local calm without causing much killing, coupled with the officials and police forces of the Chinese Consulate, as well as the training of the Chinese Armed Police, and the new Saint-Martin People's Association army followed behind, within a few months the Chinese Consulate had controlled nearly half of the territory of the Saint-Martin Empire.

The rebels of the uprising were compressed in a small area between the Amazon River and the capital city of Santa Maria, and although they had the advantage in strength, they were not strong in combat, and the two sides began to show a stalemate.

Sint Martin had a brief period of stability in the country, but everyone knew that both sides were gathering strength and were ready for a decisive battle, hoping to destroy the other in one battle.

In February 896, a thick layer of snow had piled up at Fang Xiaoyu's residence, the coldest time of the year, and summer had just begun in the San Martin Empire in the southern hemisphere.

After several months of preparation, the rebels launched the first attack, and since most of the government troops of the Empire of San Martín were called up to participate in the defense of the capital, the defense of the southwestern part of the empire controlled by the government was very weak, so under the attack of the rebels, various places were occupied, and the territory of the rebels expanded rapidly again.

On 3 April, the rebels concentrated most of their forces and captured the port city of Rio, a seaport city in the southwest of the empire. The port of Rio, one of the home ports of the Imperial Fleet, was occupied, and Marshal Denant was forced to take the fleet and a large number of cargo ships loaded with supplies, and went to the territory controlled by the Chinese Lord.

On the pier of Hawar Harbor, Qiu Yu'an is standing here blowing the sea breeze. The sea breeze blew his sturdy body, and his handsome lieutenant general uniform of the Chinese Collar Army blew the sound of hunting.

An adjutant stepped forward and said to Qiu Yu'an: "General, we've been waiting for half an hour, let's go to the house to take shelter first." ”

Qiu Yu'an waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm not that fragile yet, just wait." ”

At this time, an officer with good eyesight said: "Here they are, generals, they are here." ”

Qiu Yu'an raised the telescope, only to see that where the sky and water met, a dense black cloud was getting thicker and thicker. This is the black smoke emitted by the incomplete combustion of coal when the steam engine used for the ship is running at high speed, and it is a large fleet in terms of the concentration and size of the black smoke.

Looking at the gradually clear figure of the battleship, Qiu Yu'an smiled: "They are finally here." ”

The huge fleet was getting closer and closer, and soon the huge body of the 'Lanting'-class battleship came into people's sight. The pilots boarded the dinghy to meet them, and under the leadership of the pilots, the warships entered their respective berths in an orderly manner.

Where Qiu Yu'an stood, a warship with the flag of the commander of the fleet slowly stopped, the gangway quickly approached the hull, and an old man wearing the imperial marshal's uniform of St. Martin slowly walked down the gangway.

Seeing the visitor, Qiu Yu'an immediately greeted him, held the other party's hand and said, "Marshal Dinant, I finally looked forward to you." ”

Seeing the rank of lieutenant general on Qiu Yu'an's shoulder, Marshal Dinant immediately knew who the other party was. He sighed: "General Xie Lu Xie Qiu can accept us, it is a shame to say that as a soldier, it is really ashamed to lose the country. ”

Qiu Yu'an said with a smile: "The marshal doesn't have to blame himself, how can the loss of land territory be blamed on the navy?" What's more, the marshal was able to bring out the entire fleet was already a great achievement. ”

The conversation between the two makes people feel very weird, it was originally on the territory of the Saint-Martin Empire, as if Marshal Dinant was a guest army, but the marshal knows his own affairs, and the current Saint-Martin Empire is like a high-rise building that has been riddled with holes and is crumbling, as long as it leaves the Optimus Prime of the Chinese Collar, it will immediately collapse.
