In fact, the delay in announcing the commander of the war was not because Shang Ji deliberately wanted to hang them, but because he himself had not made up his mind.

Now on the issue of the coach, there are five people with the highest voices, namely Liu Yi, Himihu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici. Originally, Liu Yi was the best candidate, and he was even responsible for the preliminary preparations for the war.

But with the surrender of Himihu, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong were successively promoted to SS-level generals, and Liu Yi was suddenly compared. Let an S-level general command an SS-level general, how can there be a feeling of knowing people and not knowing people.

It is estimated that Liu Yi also has this concern, so he deliberately avoided the selection of commanders, but he was unwilling to really miss the opportunity.

In addition to Liu Yi, Himiko's voice is also very high. Of course, his support was mainly focused on the surrendered Yamadai generals, and objectively speaking, Himiko, who had once been the overlord of the Wa Kingdom, was indeed the best choice - ignoring the words of loyalty.

Himiko has just surrendered, and there are still a large number of obedient cronies under him, so in this case, let her be the supreme commander of the war against the Japanese, Shang Ji doesn't have such a big heart!

Therefore, although the demand was high, the inner circle excluded Himiko from the list of coaches early.

The remaining Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici were selected for the shortlist of the commander of the army purely because they were suddenly promoted to SS-level generals.

"Strategist, who do you think is more suitable to be the commander of the war?"

Shang Ji thought about it and threw this question to Xi Zhicai.

Who knew that Xi Zhicai arched his hand and said expressionlessly: "This matter is also requested by the lord and the cadres to make their own decisions, and the subordinates dare not discuss it." ”

He couldn't resist his friend's request to probe Shang Ji's tone, but he didn't plan to get involved too much, even if there were only Shang Ji and him here, he didn't plan to express his opinion.

Shang Ji smiled when he heard this, but he didn't force it, he continued to bow his head and think, and Xi Zhicai didn't bother with anything, and quietly tasted tea next to him.

After a while, Shang Ji spoke: "Since the preparation work is the responsibility of the elder brother, then the elder brother will also be the commander of the conquest of the Japanese!" ”

Xi Zhicai didn't speak, just nodded. Liu Yi is fully qualified to be the commander of the conquest in terms of identity, status, and qualifications, if it weren't for the sudden breakthrough of Zhao Yun and the others, there would be no controversy at all.

Now that Shang Ji has appointed Liu Yi, the others will not have any strong dissatisfaction.

In addition, he appointed Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Shenwu, and Ling Cao as deputy commanders to assist his brother in handling the conquest of the Japanese. The number of the first batch of Japanese troops is tentatively set to be five combat regiments, plus the Marine Corps of the Marine Division, and they will set off in three days! ”

Tai Shi Ci and Huang Zhong are insurance, although there are no SS-level generals on the face of Wa Guoming now, but who knows if there will be a super master who is hidden? Therefore, Shang Ji stuffed Tai Shici and the two into it.

As for Shenwu, it is because of his identity as the general of Yamatai, and his main role is to recruit the remnants of Yamatai who remain in the Wa Kingdom, and at the same time play the role of a guide.

Ling Cao was because the task of the sailor division was very heavy in this war, and the logistics support was all on the sailor, so he made him, the governor of the navy, concurrently serve as the deputy commander of the expeditionary force.

Shang Ji thought about it again, felt that there was nothing omission in this arrangement, and then said to Xi Zhicai: "As for the transfer of other expeditionary force generals, the military division will lead the staff department to come up with a plan first. ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

It is not easy to interfere in the appointment of the highest-level generals of the expeditionary force, but the ordinary generals below do not have these concerns, and this is also one of the main tasks of the Military Strategy Department, and it is an unshirkable responsibility.

In the afternoon of the same day, the General Staff Department came up with a plan that was discussed and requested.

According to the plan, the six ace legions with strong combat effectiveness were appointed as the vanguard corps by the Star Glory Legion, the Shura Legion, the Jinfan Legion, the Hundred Battles Legion, the Sun Shooting Legion, and the Divine Warrior Legion (a new legion formed by the Yamatai Surrender Army, and the core strength is the Shenwu Divine Warrior, an exclusive special class of Shenwu) as the vanguard corps, and Wang Shu was appointed as the vanguard general of the conquest.

In addition to the generals within these legions, an additional 25 S-level generals were transferred to the whole army to supplement the major legions.

In addition, Chenzhou also hoarded thirty corps (including four quasi-combat corps and nine new combat corps composed of surrendered troops) of the strategic main force, led by Huang Zhong, deputy commander of the expeditionary force, once the vanguard corps gained a firm foothold in the Wa State, the sailor was responsible for transporting twenty of the combat legions to the Wa State battlefield, and pacified the Wa State with the momentum of ploughing and sweeping the holes, as for the remaining ten reserves.

Just in case, Shang Ji also ordered the transfer of 6 million county soldiers to form 30 temporary regiments as follow-ups, and at the same time issued local mobilization orders in some areas to recruit new soldiers to fill the defensive vacancies after the county soldiers were transferred.

Finally, in order to deal with the possible tide of Inhuman rebellion, and also to respond to the exuberant Inhuman players in the Huaxia District in the sphere of influence, Shang Ji also formed twenty shadow legions.

The so-called shadow legion only has the organizational framework of middle and high-ranking generals and legions, and there are no ordinary soldiers. These soldiers of the Shadow Legion are all players in the Huaxia region who are interested in participating in the war of the Wa Kingdom.

Under the command of the generals of the Shang Army, they will participate in the encirclement and suppression of small rebels, the destruction of enemy logistics routes and intelligence reconnaissance, and the assassination of senior enemy generals.

Some players who are eager to fight in the frontal battlefield can also realize their wishes, as long as they are not afraid of death, players are welcome in the frontal battlefield at any time, as long as they obey orders and obey commands, they can be completely treated equally.

Of course, don't expect any special treatment for players, as violating military orders will be punished.

In general, according to this plan, the main force of the expeditionary force was twenty-five combat corps, and the reserve army was ten combat corps, thirty temporary legions, plus twenty shadow legions.

Among the generals who participated in the conquest of the Japanese were three SS-level generals, more than 40 S-level generals, and more than 20 were on standby in Chenzhou, and they could support the Japanese battlefield with the reserve corps at any time if necessary.

Of course, the above is only a standing combat force prepared, with the background of the Shang Ji army at this time, as long as there is a need, it is easy to get an additional army of 10 million, if it is forced to carry out a full mobilization, it will not be a problem to get an army of 200 million or 300 million.

I carefully read the plan submitted by Xi Zhicai, thought about it, and added another one. After that, he checked it to confirm that there were no omissions, signed his name, and returned the plan to Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai took it and looked shocked.

According to Shang Ji's supplementary regulations, 10,000 ninth-order Praetorian guards will be drawn from the First Praetorian Legion to join Liu Yi's command. These 10,000 people do not belong to the expeditionary force sequence, and directly obey Liu Yi's orders. Before they received further orders from Shang Ji, they only needed to obey Liu Yi's orders.

"Lord, ...... this?"

Xi Zhicai looked at the plan and hesitated for a while.

The Praetorian Guard, as the name suggests, has never been commanded by a single general, and this is the first time in the world.

"Prepare, three days later, preside over the ceremony of worshiping the generals and cheering for the expeditionary soldiers."

Shang Ji didn't answer Xi Zhicai, but directly opened his mouth and ordered.

Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "My subordinates receive orders." ”
