Chapter 46: The new commander of the Dingbei formation

"It's you?! His Royal Highness Yongwu?! ”

When Xie Ning and his entourage stepped into the room under the guidance of Chief of Staff Sun and Deputy Commander Wang, a middle-aged general who was reclining on the bed looked at him in disbelief a few times, but asked in surprise.

"You...... Do you know me? You are ......" Xie Ning suddenly froze.

"Your Highness, this is the commander of my Dingbei formation, Lieutenant General Zhou Yaorong. The one lying down is the commander of the naval demon team of my Dingbei formation, Admiral Zheng Jiwu Demon Battle. I beg your pardon for being rude, both officers were seriously injured. ”

Chief of Staff Sun suddenly whispered in Xie Ning's ear.

"Two commanders, the Demon War Brigadier General Xie Ning salutes you."

Xie Ning's face was solemn when he heard this, and he had already saluted the two of them, and Yang Xiao and the others behind him did the same, and loudly reported their names.

Only Academician Qian just smiled reservedly, and after softly saying his name, he took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to the two generals.

……

"I belong to different branches of the military, and I don't have a subordinate to the upper and lower levels, Your Highness, and these two...... Colonel Yang, Lieutenant Colonel Shaw. Please don't be polite......"

After Zhou Zheng shook hands with Academician Qian, he turned to them again and returned the salute at the same time. After that, Zhou Yaorong said with a smile.

Immediately, he asked, "Your Highness, please don't be surprised, I have seen you on the Magic Vision. Just, why are you here? ”

Then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and his face was already shocked: "It's difficult...... Could it be that you are the chief officer of the escort unit of the Far North scientific expedition? ”

He asked, exclaimed.

"Yes......" Xie Ning smiled bitterly: "Sir, now we are also in the army, you don't need to be commensurate with the title of the lower officer, just call me by my name." Don't you know? Your Majesty arranged for me to be the head of the escort of the scientific expedition group. ”

……

"We only know that His Majesty sent a scientific expedition team...... Zhou Yaorong also smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect it to be you...... It's you. For your name, my Dingbei formation has also been famous for a long time, and the officers and soldiers of the whole formation only hate to see the glory of the imperial Yongwu and the future twin legends. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect our meeting to be in the here and now, under such circumstances." He sighed lowly.

"Do you want to take the expedition back to the empire by sea? Fear...... We can't help you...... As you can see, we are no longer able to protect ourselves. Finally, he said in a low voice.

"Sir, could you please tell us more about the situation?" Xie Ning asked in a deep voice.

"I can't talk much, so let Chief of Staff Sun introduce it to you, and I'll add it." Zhou Yaorong waved his hand and said, while signaling to Chief of Staff Sun.

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Sun had already taken a step forward knowingly, but he explained it in detail for Xie Ning and them.

~~~~~~~~~

"Is that so?" When Chief of Staff Sun finished explaining, Xie Ning's face was extremely solemn.

"Yes, Temple...... General Xie. Chief of Staff Sun replied with a wry smile.

"So, how long before we are forced into the Demonic Chaos Sea?" Shainin asked again.

"No later than the day after tomorrow......"

"There's no room for tactical manoeuvre at all...... There is not enough time...... It's on the sea again, and there's no obstacles...... That's a real problem...... It's a big trouble......" Shainin muttered.

……

"Oh? General Xie, do you also value the space and time of tactical maneuver? ”

Zhou Yaorong, who was leaning on the bed and closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "You should be an army general, right?" How can you be so familiar with naval tactics? In one sentence? ”

"Sir, it shouldn't be difficult to think of this......

Xie Ning smiled bitterly: "No matter what kind of military class, if you want to escape in an environment where the strength of the enemy and our forces is not comparable, the enemy is surrounded by many sieges, and it is impossible to break through the siege, you must need excellent tactics, complex geography, vast tactical maneuver space and tactical display time - otherwise, even the military god will have no choice." ”

"Humph!" Zhou Yaorong snorted coldly.

He already looked at Chief of Staff Sun and Deputy Commander Wang in a deep voice: "Did you hear that?" He was only a young man in his twenties, and he was still an army general, and he knew what to do. It's the two of you, one of you feels that he can't win, so he can only run. One feels that he can't win, but he still wants to fight, but he doesn't know how to fight. ”

"Don't you feel ashamed now? If it weren't for the two of you running without firing a shot, why would the current war situation be so erosive? ”

King Sun and the others suddenly resigned, their faces red and their ears red.

……

Xie Ning was also red-faced.

In my previous life, I grew up in a world where there was no power but tactics, and I was just well-informed in that era of the big explosion of knowledge. Combined with the basic military theoretical knowledge of this world, a few casual sighs and talk on paper are just words. Do you need to praise me like that...... Also, isn't that offending people......

He thought so in his heart, but his mouth said urgently: "Sir, don't criticize the two chiefs. They may be fascinated by the authorities. And because of the sudden big change, coupled with the serious injuries of the two of you, the two chiefs lost their heads and were in turmoil. That's why I didn't see it clearly for a while. ”

Sun Wang and the others immediately cast a grateful look at Xie Ning, but Zhou Yaorong looked at Xie Ning steadily, he suddenly stopped talking, but he seemed to think of something and muttered something.

……

"General Xie, I can ...... Do you trust it? After a long time, he looked at Shainin again.

Xie Ning's face was suddenly stunned: "Sir, what do you mean......"

"I'm seriously injured, and I'm already incurable...... I don't know when I'm going to fall. ”

"But I don't feel at ease and I'm not reconciled...... I can't let go of the Dingbei Formation, and I can't let go of His Majesty's earnest words when he appointed me as the supreme commander of the Dingbei Formation...... He said to me, Zhou Yaorong, I have entrusted the Dingbei formation to you, you must take them with you, make meritorious achievements, and live up to my hopes......"

"And now, I can't do it...... It even brought the Dingbei formation to a dead end......" he said in a low voice.

"Sir, it's our ......" Chief of Staff Sun and Deputy Commander Wang were already in tears, and they cried out in mourning.

"This battle ...... Not a crime of war. If it's not your fault, whoever changes it, without warning, is suddenly attacked by an enemy with new tactics and new troops, and crashes into the muzzle of someone's superior forces, there will be no way. It's just a matter of dying sooner or later. Zhou Yaorong glanced at them softly again and comforted them softly.

Immediately, he turned to Shainin.

……

"So, I mean, I can form Dingbei...... Is it entrusted to you? Zhou Yaorong looked at Xie Ning steadily, and kept his mouth shut for a long time, and finally, he asked in a deep voice.

"What?" In the small room, several of the same voices were heard at the same time.

"Sir, he's just a Demon War Brigadier General, how can you ......" Chief of Staff Sun looked at Zhou Yaorong with a stammering mouth.

"He's in his twenties. Moreover, even if what he said is very reasonable, it is also on paper, and he is rashly entrusted, and I am afraid that Zhao Kuo will worry about it......" he said.

"That's it, sir, you won't die, please ......think twice," Deputy Commander Wang also cried.

……

"It's wartime, and everything can only be done cheaply. I could fall at any time, and without him, who will lead the formation? Zhou Yaorong shouted angrily, and his eyes began to wander around the two of them: "You? Or are you? ”

Sun Wang and the others burst into tears, but they also shook their heads at the same time.

"It's just that, sir, we can't rashly entrust the fate of the formation to a Mao ...... A young man in his twenties...... Even if it's just to let the commander lead the formation. Deputy Commander Wang replied in a mournful voice.

"Bastard!" Zheng Jiwu, who had not spoken on the hospital bed, was furious, he coughed a few times out of breath, and scolded: "Wang Ping, do you want to make me angry first?" What else would I do besides cultivation and fighting? ”

Immediately, he looked at Zhou Yaorong again: "Old man." I'm definitely not going to do it. However, they are also right, your idea, is it a bit hasty? ”

"Yes, sir, I know what you think, but it'sβ€”" Chief of Staff Sun also looked up at Zhou Yaorong, but said in a low voice.

……

He was about to say something more, but was interrupted by a sudden female voice.

"Guys, may I interject a moment? As the highest representative of the imperial scientific community, I think I have enough strength to gain your respect? Although military affairs are not within my control, can you hear my opinion? Academician Qian was already asking on the side.

"Yes, of course. Academician, please speak. Zhou Yaorong, who was frowning, was full of surprise, but he also smiled kindly at Academician Qian.

Academician Qian also smiled, but turned to Sun Wang Zheng and the others: "Three generals, you must be very puzzled, how did we escape?" Maybe you'll think we're just lucky. ”

"But I'll tell you, quite the oppositeβ€”I think this trip to the far north is probably the worst of our luck. But we still escaped, in a thrilling, difficult, but almost intact, escape! ”

"Do you know why? Not why, not by chance. Just for ...... I've been glad that I chose an excellent ...... for myself No, it's simply remarkable, unbeatable...... Captain of the Escort Regiment! ”

"When ............"

……

Academician Qian told eloquently, but the expressions of the four admirals in the room gradually became solemn with her description. Worried, contemplative, sorrowful, sudden, and passionate emotions flashed across their faces one after another. They looked at Xie Ning from time to time, and their faces gradually brought a kind of ...... Admiration and respect!

"Three generals. I think that even putting aside his soul lineage and status, a command ability that proved his genius with a new tactic, and a generous courage and precise calculation proved his wit, bravery, sense of responsibility, and courage in the final battle and the subsequent battles...... Exceptional Imperial General. I couldn't convince myself to refuse his leadership for any reason. ”

"So, yes. In short, generals, no matter what you think, I and the scientific expedition team only trust him, and we will only follow him. ”

In the end, Academician Qian said impassionedly.

……

Her expression gradually became extremely solemn: "And here, I, Qian Xuesheng, a special academician of the Imperial Magic Energy Research Academy, director and chief scholar of the 51st District of the Empire, and head of the Imperial Far North Scientific Expedition. On behalf of all the members of the Imperial Far North Scientific Expedition, I hereby solemnly suggest to the commanders of the Dingbei Formation-"

"It is recommended that Xie Ning, the former head of the Imperial Far North Scientific Expedition Guard Regiment, the prince of the Imperial Yongwang, the first class of the founding of the Empire, the Marquis of Yongwu, the member of the Demon General Group of the Imperial Far North Legion, and the Brigadier General of the Imperial Demon War, ...... Took over the command of the Northern Air Strike Carrier Strike Group. ”

She said in a loud voice.

……

"I, Sun Lingming, Chief of Staff of the Dingbei Formation of the Imperial Far North Legion Navy and Commander of the Demonic Fleet, recognize the Imperial Demon War Brigadier General Xie Ning to exercise command over the ships of the Dingbei Formation of the Demonic Fleet of the Empire."

After being silent for a long time, Chief of Staff Sun suddenly said in a low voice.

"I, Zheng Jiwu, the deputy head of the Demon General Regiment of the Imperial Far North Legion and the commander of the Demon Squadron of the Dingbei Formation of the Navy, approve of Brigadier General Xie Ning of the Imperial Demon Warfare, and exercise command over all departments of the Dingbei Formation of the Navy."

A weak but determined voice rang out from the hospital bed at the same time.

……

Zhou Yaorong had already smiled lightly, he tried his best to straighten up, but he slowly gave a solemn military salute to Xie Ning, who was stunned by a series of changes.

"I, the Imperial Far North Legion Navy, Zhou Yaorong, the commander of the Dingbei Air Mother Battle Group. Here, the supreme command of the Dingbei Air Mother Combat Group is officially handed over to Xie Ning, the former head of the Imperial Far North Scientific Investigation Guard Regiment, a member of the Demon General Regiment of the Imperial Far North Legion, and the Brigadier General of the Imperial Demon War! And wishing ...... Wansheng! ”

"General, no, Your Excellency the Commander. Please forgive the former commander Chow Yiu Wing for fleeing without a fight, and sincerely ask that you can lead us...... We, you, have no way to escape at this time, but to fight to the death. ”

"If you can't escape, then it is reasonable, and all the blame will be on me. If you can get away with it, it will be a blessing to invite heaven, and all glory will be added to you. ”

"Dingbei Formation...... with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Dingbei formation...... I'll leave it to you. ”

He said firmly, in a low voice. (To be continued.) )
