Chapter 934: Confrontation
Like doing a poll, Erwin has to be keen to sniff out who might be the final decision. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The queen did not set the tone to participate in the selection of the commander this time, saying that it was up to the House of Commons and the cabinet government to decide on their own, and this decision would ultimately fall on the resolution of the House of Commons, so the opinions of the presidents and members of the various districts gathered together were also the opinions of the people.
Therefore, these candidate generals will appear frequently in the near future under the impetus of the forces behind their respective backgrounds. It may be to preach one's own military theories, or it may be to show one's own steady and wise wisdom, in short, in fact, this situation is somewhat performative in nature. But politics is a performance, and countless things in the world are all made through performances to deepen people's impressions, so as to convey the most incisive ideas and do some very important things.
Today's Downing Street Reception is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The gathering of a large number of dignitaries and business elites, who have already attracted attention, will spread the word about what is happening here at great speed, and let's not forget that these special correspondents, who include almost all the most famous newspapers in the kingdom, will undoubtedly set the pattern of public opinion by writing in their hands, representing the attitude of a newspaper and the editorials that can spread to millions of people.
Therefore, many people will not be absent from this Downing Street drinking party. Except for Charlotte, who was leading the fleet outside the country to fight against the Sipon space submarine, Limaton and Mississippi would hardly even appear in public, and there was definite news that he would also arrive.
This is the stage for these candidates for the commander of the coalition forces, and everything they have shown, ideas, and ideas that they have expressed here today will be conveyed to all the people of the kingdom in a short period of time through this reception, and help them decide on the person who can really be trusted.
So that's what this party is really about.
Previously, Erwin cautiously walked through the crowd, and because of his identity as a "Daily Mail" Daji, he joined many conversations, so he understood the thoughts of many people. ・
"In my opinion, Admiral Charlotte probably has the best odds! Speaking of merit, it is true that Major General Lin Hai has been more outstanding recently, and Limarton and Mississippi and Tetsu Egami are also called the three heroes before the war, which can almost be said to be a period in the past. Compared with the kind of crusade war of the previous intensity, and the space war of this intensity now, and the all-out war, there is a big gap between the two, can the two of them really confront the powerful fleet led by the general Manstein of the Susa? Don't forget, the Susians have captured a province of Glime as soon as they came......"
"General Charlotte seems to have missed the opportunity to build momentum frequently in the country, but in fact, don't forget, he is sitting on the battlefield to block the Sipang space submarine, if there is a good news at this time, it will be an overwhelming final word for him, after all, actual combat is the most indisputable truth!"
"And I heard that the two Great Saints from the Star Alliance are more focused on the Eagle Country's selection of a general with profound combat experience, and the opinions of the Great Saints will naturally be the focus of consideration in the House of Commons."
"Forget it, it's useless to say this, these will naturally be revealed one day, today's cocktail party, in fact, I am looking forward to the ...... most"
Someone added for the speaker, "It's Miss Xia Ying's arrival!" ”
Contacting many celebrities and participating in a series of conversations, Erwin left the small circle of conversation just now, paced to the edge, and pulled out a small handwritten notebook dedicated to notes, on which were densely written many useful things that he had recorded.
This time, he bit the cap of his pen and wrote a draft on it: "Although I look forward to the appearance of these candidates, everyone generally prefers to see the imperial idol Xia Ying when he comes to the reception. Does this show that in fact, what the people care more about is not this time of dispute, but whether the famous general of the Susa people, Manstein, can leave the most humiliating mark of his life on the road of violating the Eagle Country, so that the conspiracy of Susa and Sipang to join forces to invade the Eagle Country is bankrupt! In the end, people still yearn for a better life when the war is over...... It's a pity that in this era, it seems that the desire for peace is far away, so Miss Xia Ying's healing smile is the thing that people really want the most......"
As the time approached, more and more people gradually increased, more and more invitees entered the banquet palace, and there was any food and drinks that could be taken at the boundary of the venue.
Deputy Prime Minister Ai Wei, together with the Speaker of the House of Commons, Ge Jinxing, and the Minister of National Defense, Shialde, appeared and delivered a light-hearted but wise and encouraging speech, which fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the audience.
Then under the brief commotion, people saw a group of dignitaries appear at the main entrance of the banquet palace, and the Caucasian general Limadon walked in the front, and next to him were the "golden lion" Missisppi, two highly popular generals.
For a while, the atmosphere pushed to an extremely warm climax.
Hearing the uproar over there, reporter Erwin followed the prestige and saw some aristocratic men and women staring at the other end, and he simply said with a suppressed excitement, "General Limaton is here!" "It's Mississippi! General Missisppi, the second of the three heroes of the kingdom, arrived together, and I haven't seen such a picture for many years! "It's so exciting!"
It's finally here!
Erwin's face was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to see the two of them clash of opinions at this early arrival.
However, when Erwin looked around, he also saw the doubts in the eyes of many of his peers and him.
Deputy Prime Minister Ai Wei, Secretary of Defense Charles Hard, Speaker of the House of Commons Brother Jinxing, Limadon, and Mississippi have arrived one after another, at this time, why haven't you seen that Lin Hai? Is it really to drag it out until the end and come back to satisfy everyone's appetite? Or did he simply change his mind and not attend? If it was the latter, Erwin would feel very sorry for him.
You know, he was extremely expectant to see Lin Hai up close.
And now, if you miss the attendance of this Downing Street cocktail party, tomorrow the newspapers will only be overwhelming with information about Limarton and Mississippi, and behind this wonderful report, there will only be a short "Major General Lin Hai did not come because he had other important matters." Such a weak statement.
Just looking at people's reactions today and deducing the effect of the Kingdom of Tomorrow, we know that once we miss the appearance of this drinking party, it is likely that we will never be able to make up for it.
***
Limaton is of medium stature, with a nose as narrow as a willow, and his whole temperament gives people a rock-like calmness. The important thing is that Missisppi is not only in appearance, in the front line of the battle with the Sipangs, the troops he is fighting in turn are like thunder, and after keenly detecting the information, he immediately made a decision to launch a fierce attack on a Saint Elephant-class fleet in the dispatch of the Sipangs, cut off the fleet, and then annihilated nearly half of the enemy army.
The two arrived at the same time, and they talked and laughed with each other, which seemed to make people unable to see that the battle for commanders had actually reached a white-hot stage.
Entering the cocktail party, the two of them were naturally surrounded by all kinds of upper-level figures, as the second most popular candidate for the commander of the enemy, the two were surrounded by a crowd of people on the third floor and the outer three layers, and everyone wanted to get close to see the style, because if they really became the commander of the coalition forces, and then they could successfully defeat Manstein, then the future achievements would be cosmic-level.
An old and respectful nobleman said at the right time, "General Limaton, General Mississippi, since you are both here today, why don't you explain your respective military theories...... Let's put it bluntly...... We just want to know how this battle will be fought if each of you is in command of the coalition forces. ”
"Yes, it will fall on this in the end!"
"That's a great offer! Everyone wants to know how big your fists are to beat your enemies! People chimed in.
"That's it," Ai Wei said, holding his glass, leading the crowd for a moment, "I'll ask a question." Both of them are the top military generals in the country, because it involves specific military details that may lead to leaks, so I will assume a preset position first. If the Manstein Group fleet were to storm directly from the Milan Star Sector, what would you have to do to deal with it? ”
Countless people looked at the two of them again.
It is very clear to people that if they assume in advance and then let the two sides put forward their own military operational ideas, they will not leak secrets, but they can also show the military talent between the two like chess, so as to distinguish the superiority and inferiority.
The outcome of this confrontation, which of the two sides is good or bad, will presumably appear in the headlines of major newspapers and news portals the next day. In order to let the people see the advantages and disadvantages of the battle on both sides. Make a judgment about who they will choose.
Limarton is not the only one.
"If I lead an army against Manstein, I will first wait for the Milan Star Gate to wait for ......"
"At the same time, strengthen the defense line on the three satellites of Bol, Pope and Reser, set up fortress guns, and treat them as three aircraft carriers that will never be destroyed, if Manstein breaks through the Stargate defense line, this can become a second interception net, as long as their pace is blocked outside the range of the three satellites, the joint reinforcement force of the four countries can play the role of a guerrand......"
"The third line of interception...... Fourth Interception ......"
"According to the implementation of these plans one by one, no matter how strong the military strength of the Susa people is, it will be gradually eaten away!"
Limaton uttered twelve defensive methods in one breath, and everyone fell into thought, and some military experts admitted that it was a rock-like battle plan after careful analysis of what Limarton had said. And if it was he Limaton who led the army, he might really be able to intercept Manstein with the Eagle Nation's own military strength.
The point is that this is a preset position, free to show. It's just a hypothetical premise, but Limarton can immediately think of so many battle plans, and he is really a rare famous general.
Faced with this plan, Missisppi took the lead in "snapping" and applauding.
Limarton narrowed his pupils slightly, and a shallow smile was hanging on the corner of Mississippi's mouth, "This is a good strategy, but the premise is that you have to go back hundreds of years, and it may be good!" ”
Missisppi was laughing, but everyone felt the strong smell of gunpowder in Limattan.
Missisppi continued, "...... What kind of era is this, still thinking about resisting and bombarding with Susa cannons and cannons. What a waste of ammunition......"
"If I were to face Manstein, I would never go head-to-head, I would divide my forces into ten...... The joint **** is naturally not as easy to use as the army of their own home because of scheduling, but they can be used as a strong shield. ”
"Ten of our troops will entangle Manstein's army like the tentacles of an octopus, immobilizing it like a net, and then the coalition forces will act like trappers outside this net, amputating and dismembering Manstein's hands and feet that he tried to break free. In this way, we avoided a situation in which we would have to go head-to-head with the Susa, who were known for their firepower, and even if we were able to gain an advantage, we would have to suffer heavy losses. It is also possible to completely defeat Manstein with minimal cost. ”
"Of course, I know that Manstein has the title of lightning god, so look at the dispatch and command of the army on both sides, who is more perfect?"
The two sides expressed their ideas for war, and reporters from major newspapers with voice recorders recorded while writing hard to write. It may take less than half an hour for the reception to end, and all this discussion about the reception will spread.
Everyone can understand that the obvious difference between Limarton and Mississippi in the art of war is that one uses "Tao" and the other walks "art".
There is no obvious superiority or disadvantage between Tao and art.
