Chapter 804: Dominating Southern Xinjiang (30) Scolding Battle Before the Battle
After leading the Phoebe Bob army on the expedition, the commander Kiberon first instigated the chess pieces that had been buried in Siber long ago, so as to launch a military mutiny in Leni.
Although the city of Leni is nominally part of Phoebebo, as the only overland passage that holds the province of Vare bordering Bieber Province, the pass of the Leoni Corridor, this territory has always been under the de facto control of Siber, and troops are stationed here.
Since the chaos of Siber's reforms, Lenny's army has lost its unity and fallen into chaos, and most of the Siber nobles in charge of the local army are disgusted with the reforms, so they have come into contact with the Atona nobles, so that the military mutiny ordered by Kiberon has not been hindered much at all, and it is easy to control the vital strategic place of Lenny.
Kiberon then marched north, passing through the province of Silo to the province of Jiuguan, which was a wide plain, and at the same time the route of the Siber's cabinet was expected to march, so Kiberon was naturally aware of such obvious military common sense, so on the one hand, while controlling Lenny, on the other hand, he marched into the province of Jiuguanxing.
Kiberon's attack on the old province of Seki was still going well, mainly due to the expansion of the Atona family's estates in the neighboring provinces in recent years, of which the old province was the hardest hit area of infiltration, and the local nobles were disgusted with the National Assembly, so they turned against it, and the head of the National Assembly was cut off before the local inspector could react.
In the past, the magnificent mountain range that separated the old Fili from the Kanto region was called by many names, but after the conquest of the local area, this mountain range was named the Vare Mountains, and it was divided into the North and South Vare Mountains, of which the Leni Corridor is the only relatively flat passage in the North and South Vare Mountains.
The Nord-Vare Mountains run north-south, with the Leni Corridor to the south and the north-west very close to the coastline, on which the city of Salba was built.
It's just that Sarba is a coastal city, and it is adjacent to an excellent port and Salba Bay, so the relationship between the land route is not so important, but no matter how you capture this place, it is still very significant, at least in the south by land, you can't attack the old Guanxing Province.
With the help of the Siber army, Kiberon conquered all the territory north of Sarba in early April, and Laikawa, isolated by the mountains, soon pledged his allegiance, so Kiberon began to move south into the province of Vareh.
The province of Vare is undoubtedly the most important student in the middle of the southern Xinjiang continent, it is linked to the province of Bieber of Phoebe Bob in the east through the Leni corridor, the province of Old Pass through the Sarba Pass in the north, the province of Lanshuo through the fortress of Hado in the west, and the border with Finney in the south.
However, Kiberon, who had been invincible all the way, finally encountered more resolute resistance after entering the province of Vare, which slowed down his advance.
The merchant groups and some of the enlightened nobles fell in the province of Vare as they did in the province of Old Seki, and although they were not supporters of the National Assembly, they were undoubtedly more disgusted with the House of Attona and fought fiercely with the legions of Kiberon.
As the first legion instigated by Mael to declare its support for the republic in other provinces, the Sixth Army showed considerable reliability and quickly controlled the riots in the fortress of Hador and repelled Kiberon's attack.
The fortress of Hado was a pass, so Kiberon did not dare to send the main force directly to the fortress of Hado until he completely suppressed the province of Vare.
The situation of the war evolved into the current situation, and the National Assembly also realized the seriousness of the matter, so it issued three edicts in one day, urging Ji Weiluo to quickly reach the front line to command the war.
A few days after arriving at the front, Ji Weiluo's heart was cold, so he sent a message to the National Assembly, asking the National Assembly to provide more regiments for him.
You must know that when Kiberon set out on the expedition, he took 21 legions, and then recruited rebels all the way, so the number of troops has increased instead of decreasing, and has skyrocketed to 30 legions, that is, 90,000 troops, and counting the auxiliary army, the number has approached 200,000.
As for Ji Weiluo, there are only five legions, that is, 15,000 troops, and 30,000 auxiliary troops, and although three of the five legions are extremely elite standing legions, their number is still too small! Not to mention Ji Weiluo's extremely low rank, which was only temporarily added before he set out for the battle, it was difficult to convince the people at the front line, and there were deep contradictions and serious discord among the generals.
In fact, it was also difficult for Shiari to do, because he always believed that this war was first and foremost a political issue, and then a military issue.
As the strongest country in the southern Xinjiang continent, it is impossible for Xibo to carry out a national mobilization when punishing a vassal state with only 2 provinces, otherwise the meaning of punishment will be lost, but it will make other countries more aware of Siber's weakness.
However, when the national mobilization was not carried out, the transfer of three of the 10 standing regiments to Commander Ji Weiluo already showed that the National Assembly attached great importance to this incident.
So as the first assistant, Xi Ailie wrote back to Ji Weiluo, saying that since the founding of the Siber - the founding of the country here undoubtedly refers to the establishment of the Parson dynasty, and the Siber people usually ignore the dark hundreds of years when telling history, they have always won with fewer enemies and many victories, and the National Assembly believes that Ji Weiluo, as an enlightener, will be able to inherit the will of his ancestors and create glory again.
When the news reached Ji Weiluo, he almost scolded his mother on the spot, thinking that if he could be eaten, Phoebe Bo would have already knelt down to welcome the king and used me to exterminate him? So Ji Weiluo wrote a reply letter with a stroke of his pen, indicating that the premise of punishment is to be able to win, and I can't win with only 5 legions, so how can I be punished?
Ji Weiluo's reply made Xi Erlie even more dissatisfied, so he stated that it was impossible to dispatch regular legions, otherwise the punishment would be meaningless, and explained his theory to Ji Weiluo again in his heart, trying to persuade Ji Weiluo to make up at the end at most to let Ji Weiluo mobilize 3 more legions locally, which was the last and biggest concession of the National Assembly.
In Xi Ailie's opinion, this is already his biggest concession, but Ji Weiluo's reply is even sharper, with malicious speculation.
He claimed that he did not want to let him win the war and gain more prestige, so he deliberately wanted him to lose the war, so as to deprive him of political influence, so he did not let go of his grievances with him, and wanted to put the safety of the front-line soldiers at risk for the sake of political struggle.
And Ji Weiluo's reply letter was not a private communication but a big publicity, which made everyone known, which made Xi Ailie disgraced, and had to hold a special meeting to show that he did not substitute personal grievances into government affairs, and then named and criticized Ji Weiluo, claiming that Ji Weiluo was narrow-minded, and if he felt that he was not suitable to command this war, he might as well abdicate and make way for Xian.
After receiving this communication, Ji Weiluo resigned on the spot, announcing that he would resign from the post of commander-in-chief, but for the sake of duty, he would temporarily stay behind to deal with military affairs before the commander-in-chief officially took up his post.
As for Kiberon, the people will die of laughter after seeing this annual drama, and the National Assembly has not yet started a war, and it is really awesome that so many moths have been created because of strategic problems.
The Siber government has attracted a lot of ideas in the current infighting among the great enemy, so Phoebe Bo's commander Kiberon deliberately let the clown perform it, which is quite ornamental.
Before the official war with Phoebe Bob, Siber made jokes that can go down in history, whether it is political history or military history, which really can't blame more and more nobles for making their own choices, abandoning Siber and switching to Phoebe Bo, after all, this is not an international war but more like a civil war.
After Ji Weiluo announced his resignation, the Xibo cabinet really couldn't find a candidate who could replace Ji Weiluo for a while, mainly because there was no suitable candidate.
After all, the punishment of Phoebe Bo, the first military operation since the reform, can only and must be completed by the reformers, and as soon as this restriction is issued, many people with military experience will be immediately wiped out.
The second requirement is that the commander has a certain amount of military experience and has enough prestige to convince the public, and the cabinet searched for a long time, but could only find Ji Weiluo, a not too suitable candidate, and his prestige was barely enough among the reformers.
Ji Weiluo did have service experience, but he was not in the regular standing army, just an ordinary local militia unit, plus he belonged to the reformers, and made outstanding contributions in both the "June Uprising" and the "September Uprising", so he was on the recommended list.
In fact, Ji Weiluo was not the first choice at the beginning, the candidate that Xi Ailie originally wanted to appoint was Bal Kelano, who was also one of the reformers, but Bar Kellano could not shirk it with various excuses, so Xi Elli, who had no choice, could only reluctantly appoint Ji Wei Luo as the commander.
But even so, Ji Weiluo, the commander of the half-way monk, is still not supported by those officers who came out of the regular way, and can only reluctantly obey the public, and now that Ji Weiluo is gone, the cabinet wants to find a person who is barely qualified like Ji Weiluo.
But no matter how much you can't find it, you have to pull out the general in the dwarf pile, so the cabinet decided to appoint Lu Pudong as the new commander after careful consideration and discussion.
This Lu Pudong is a middle-level officer in the current army, has certain military experience, and belongs to the enlightened aristocracy in terms of faction, and is barely related to reform.
Lu Pudong was not as stubborn as Ji Weiluo, as the de facto broken—because it was broken, so enlightened—the aristocratic saw this appointment as an opportunity, so he agreed that only five legions could be used, but asked for naval support, and the Xiari cabinet knew that the second commander could not be discouraged, so he agreed.
