Chapter 740: Major General, Hold Me Tight (34)
Seeing that the battle is becoming more and more intense, I am afraid that it will not be able to end in the short term.
Munitions have become a serious problem that has to be put on the table.
Because the main battlefield is relatively far away from Narin, the military supplies carried by the Shadow Legion can only last about three months before the expedition.
Now, two months have passed, and based on the current state of the war, the battle will continue for at least half a year.
Therefore, the military supplies in the rear must be continuous and timely.
Otherwise, the soldiers' daily food needs cannot be guaranteed.
In the case of hunger, it is easy to waver in the morale of the army and lose heart.
This is a big no-no for a campaign.
Gu Ying reported to the military department a month in advance and applied for military supplies in half a month.
However, at the appointed time, the military supplies were not delivered.
The remaining rations lasted less than ten days.
Although Gu Ying was anxious, he didn't show anything when facing the soldiers of the three armies.
At any time, no matter how urgent the situation, the manager must not afford to mess with his position.
The commander of one side is equivalent to the anchor of the entire army, and only when the needle is fixed, can the sea water be stable and the military spirit will not be shaken.
To make matters worse, Tianrong looted a batch of medical equipment out of nowhere. It's on par with what the Shadow Legion uses.
The advantage of medical care is gone, and the gap in numbers is narrowing.
I don't know who leaked the news of the lack of military supplies, and rumors began to spread among the Shadow Legion.
According to rumors, Gu Ying was at odds with a certain general in the military department, so in this battle, the general deliberately pressed the application for military supplies and deliberately delayed it, in order to treat the entire Shadow Legion as a victim of the struggle between the two forces.
When the rumors first came out, the generals of the sub-regiment quickly arrested a few typical examples and punished them in public.
Silenced some of the voices that disturbed the morale of the army.
But the good times did not last long, with the increasing consumption of military supplies and the delay in the arrival of supplies, more and more voices began to emerge.
Although the generals of the regiments tried their best to suppress it, they could not withstand the reality of the situation and could not withstand the increasing rumors.
in the conference hall.
Gu Ying sat at the top, and everyone sat on the left and right sides in turn.
The expressions on everyone's faces were extraordinarily solemn.
"Major General, can you give us a good word," Xue Zhenyu looked at Gu Ying with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice, "When will the new batch of supplies arrive?" ”
Gu Ying was silent. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "I don't want to deceive everyone, but I really don't know. ”
Obviously, before the expedition, the transfer of materials was very timely, why did this application encounter such a serious obstacle?
As for the rumors, Gu Ying naturally knew who it was coming from, and there was a way to control that person so that he would no longer talk nonsense.
But......
He couldn't stop everyone's mouths.
If the supply of military supplies is not enough, the discussion in the army will not be able to subside for a day.
The food left now can only meet the needs of the whole army for less than three days.
If no supplies are delivered after three days, then the army is afraid that it will really face a desperate situation of running out of food.
To add insult to injury, warships and other weapons and equipment also need to be replenished with oil and gas consumption.
These can last less than half a month at most.
Food may also be able to be purchased from nearby planets, but the fuel consumption of weapons and equipment ......
Because it is a special operations material, the manufacturing conditions and environments of weapons and equipment on each planet are completely different, so the energy storage materials used are also different.
If you can't get supplies from the military headquarters, then after half a month, the entire legion will be in an extremely terrible situation of being beaten passively.
In the past few days, in addition to regularly sending applications to the military department, Gu Ying is also thinking about who she has had a holiday with and when.
But when he thought about everyone in the top echelons of the military department, he couldn't remember at all that he had a hostile object that he had offended.
If that person is not in the military department, where will he be?
Gu Ying fell into deep thought.
A person who is not in the military department, but can extend his hand to the important affairs of the military department, how powerful and high the status it must be.
Such a person can count the entire Narin Star with one hand.
First of all, there is the secretary general of the Galaxy Alliance.
The Galactic Alliance can influence the affairs of the entire galaxy system. The Secretary-General is elected every six years and may normally serve two consecutive terms.
This new secretary general is a native of Narin, who is upright, upright, and has no grudges against himself.
Not like someone who would meddle in this battle.
Secondly, there is the head of the Narin Armed Forces Headquarters.
If the military department is in charge of all the military garrisons, then the armed forces are in charge of the garrisons other than the military.
The Ministry of the Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Army often cooperate in various ways and have close contacts.
The relationship between the two ministers-general is very good, and if the armed forces minister forcibly intervenes, it may have some effect.
However, he doesn't seem to have a reason to do so.
Although Gu Ying has the rank of major general, he is still some distance away from the high-level power center of the military department. As a result, he never met with the head of the armed forces.
Since they have never met, then there will be no grudges.
Then, there are members of the royal family of Narin.
Because the person in power is old and doesn't take care of things, the undercurrents are constantly surging, and the relationships between the characters are intertwined and messy.
But if you really count it, there are only three people who can be called powerful.
One is the third prince Kai Xiuen, born to the first queen of the ruler.
The other is Prince Cali, the half-brother of the ruler.
The last one, the elder brother of the current Empress of power, Duke Missori.
These three men each dominated this side of the force and fought against each other in the struggle for imperial power.
The first, the third prince, Kai Xiuen, was kind and courteous, and was very loved by the people, and was said to be the predetermined successor in the minds of those in power.
Gu Ying has several connections with this prince. All at various banquets.
When the two met, it was just a polite greeting, and no conflict broke out.
The second, Prince Cali, is a small-minded man who will be retribution.
He had a two-sided relationship with Gu Ying.
Every time we meet, it doesn't seem to be very pleasant.
Probably because he was jealous of Gu Ying's young and promising, so Prince Cali's words were filled with guns and sticks.
Gu Ying is not a soft bun who can get by and swallow his voice, and when he encounters the verbal attack of others, he will naturally look back on the past mercilessly.
If it is said that the Prince of Cali wants to take the opportunity to take revenge, there may be a slight possibility.
The third, Duke Missoli, was an old man who was nearly a hundred years old......
