Volume 10 Chapter 80 Leading the Army [3]

"Villain?" The fat man couldn't believe his ears.

The hero of the Leray Federation, the designated successor of Hastings, the messenger of human justice, the fat man with a noble character and a broad mind who never benefits others for himself, is actually called a villain by this bastard?

"Besides, I don't think this General Tian has the ability to command this battle" At this time, Fujii Tsuyoshi had no scruples and said loudly: "Although the southward strategy was formulated by Marshal Hastings, the correctness of the strategy is still very controversial. Especially in the critical situation of the Triflan system, it makes no sense to bring the only main fleet of the Filipino Alliance to the southeast star field and the decisive battle of Sober, which is twice as strong as us."

He turned around and looked around.

As he spoke, the entire command hall fell silent. The staff officers in the hall on the first floor looked up at the command podium in amazement, and the people upstairs also walked out of their offices, huddled around the railing of the circular platform, and poked their heads out to look down.

The internal contradictions of the Filipino coalition are well known. Everyone also understands that one day, the contradiction will be as irrepressible as a volcanic eruption.

However, no one could have imagined that Hastings would fall ill at this juncture, let alone that the storm would come so quickly and so violently.

The fleet of the Republic of Ryan led by Tsuyoshi Fujii and Macchia, plus the Allied fleets on the same front as them, such as Baras, totaled more than one-third of the strength of the Southeastern Alliance. Once split, it will be a devastating blow to the entire coalition army.

On the command platform, Fujii Tsuyoshi was well-founded and eloquently said: "In terms of the importance of strategic position, the Trevlan galaxy is more important than the southeast star field. In terms of the correctness of the strategic choice, I insist that the best choice is to put the main forces of the coalition forces into Triflan and concentrate forces to defeat them all the way, and the iron triangle composed of the Republic of Lane, the Republic of Fiyan and the Republic of Chacna is the top priority of the entire Fijian League. It is the core base of dozens of member states of the entire Fijian League to resist the aggression of Spain. Once this iron triangle is dismantled, the Filipino Alliance will never recover."

"Are we short of troops? Do we lack industrial productivity? Are we short of resources? After a series of questions, Fujii said coldly: "No, we don't lack any of these, all we lack is time, only temporarily give up the illusion of defeating Seuss and Jeppen to force them to withdraw from the war, and shrink the defense line to the first line of the Resque galaxy, we can rely on the national strength of our Filipino alliance countries far beyond the Western Covenant, fight a protracted war, and drag the opponent down."

"And the strategy of going south is contrary to our strategic needs," Fujii said, already sneering: "If Marshal Hastings leads the coalition forces, we have at least a little hope of victory." And now," he turned abruptly, pointed his finger at the fat man, and said, "which of you can believe that we can defeat Sober under the leadership of such a man?" ”

After a moment of silence, the entire command hall erupted like a frying pan. Not only the generals of the Filipino Alliance, who have the same position as Tsuyoshi Fujii, are sneering, but also the liaison officers and staff officers from the major allies are talking about each other.

In everyone's opinion, among the coalition forces, there are many generals who are far above the fat man in terms of prestige and seniority. Not to mention McKinley, famous generals like Rabinsky are Macchia and Fujii Gang, a group of genius-level young generals who have been trained through a complete set of elite systems from military academies to the army, to serve as commanders, and they are more reliable than this fat man who was born as a mechanic.

War is not child's play after all. The selection of commanders is not as harmless as being promoted to an official position and making a fortune in peacetime by relying on nepotism.

The bandits may have shown their surprising prowess in previous battles. However, judging from the fat man's resume and achievements, he did not have the experience and ability to command such a major super battle.

It's like a battalion commander or regiment commander, even if they lead their troops to win a hundred battles, after all, it is only in a small-scale battle. If he is suddenly put in the position of supreme commander because of this, it will be irresponsible for both him and the army under his command.

He must accumulate more experience, undergo greater tests, and climb up step by step from division commander, army commander to group commander.

This process of climbing is the process of a commander proving himself, and it is also a process of continuous learning and accumulation of experience.

Even a once-in-a-century genius like Sauber has gone up step by step from the grassroots level, and after a long period of accumulation, he has the qualifications to challenge Hastings.

Otherwise, with the power of the Sober family, it would not be difficult for him to start directly at the division level, so why should he go to the grassroots level to ask for hardships?

The same should be true for the fat people of today.

Until he proves himself further, he is indeed not qualified to lead this coalition army.

In addition to the bandit army, how many of the 80 fleets, tens of thousands of ships of all types, and millions of officers and men of the coalition forces are willing to entrust their lives to a commander who they do not know and cannot gain any trust from his resume?

This is a war in which lives are at stake; It is an army that cannot gain respect without enough skills

In this kind of super battle, the fat man is still a rookie

"Fujii, you're too presumptuous," McKinley snapped and stepped forward with a grim face. Eyes as sharp as an eagle swept around, and the entire command platform suddenly fell silent.

After all, McKinley also served as the commander-in-chief of the coalition command, and although he was stripped of his position by the Filipino Alliance when he went south, he still had the power to do so. In terms of status, status and qualifications, which of the generals present can be higher than him?

McKinley stared coldly into Fujii's eyes, aggressive: "This is Marshal Hastings' decision, what, you want to disobey the military order?" If yes, I wouldn't mind personally sending you to court-martial"

"What I want is a reason that can convince us to follow General Tian to die" Fujii Tsuyoshi's eyes were red, and he refused to give an inch: "This war is not only about the lives of millions of officers and men in this fleet, but also about the country behind us, our relatives want to win our respect and trust, let us give our lives to him, we have to give us a reason"

He sneered and turned his head to look at the fat man: "Otherwise, why should we believe that this ally who escaped from Desik Prometheus all the way here without firing a single shot and lost our strategic maneuver space for at least a month?" ”

In the end, Fujii Tsuyoshi bites the word "ally" very hard. The sarcasm and disdain on his face became more and more intense.

McKinley's face was as pale as iron, but he sighed silently in his heart. He knew that Tsuyoshi Fujii was not actually an arrogant and selfish person who couldn't tolerate others in his eyes. He and Macchia can be tied for the most promising young generals in Lane, and naturally they have their own merits. The only drawback, perhaps, as his name suggests, is too upright. The momentum is too strong, and there is no room for a little sand in his eyes

And he is in trouble at the moment, the contradictions accumulated in the south and the loss of strategic maneuver space by the bandit army are certainly one reason, but the other aspect is related to Li Fo, who is thousands of light years away.

You must know that Fujii Tsuyoshi once accepted the leadership of Li Fo in Catalonia, and led the Lane army to fight side by side with Li Fo.

The invincible Li Fo is not only in his heart, but even in the entire Republic of Lane, he is an idol-level hero.

A young and hot-blooded, an old scheming, it was too easy for Li Fo to conquer Tsuyoshi Fujii.

No matter what Li Fo actually is, at least his idea of replacing the ** politician with an iron-blooded soldier and the reputation of the most disciplined and combat-ready iron army under his command in the world today have conquered the hearts of most young soldiers.

Among them, naturally including Tsuyoshi Fujii. Not only did he learn from Li Fo in leading troops in combat, but even many of his views were influenced by the radical officers under Li Fo.

In his opinion, only a soldier like Li Fo is a real soldier. Only soldiers who are honest, understand military affairs, and are willing to throw their heads and spill their blood are the protagonists of this era and the saviors

One can imagine how disappointed his followers were when Liver, who was originally regarded as the replacement of Hastings by most of the Filipinos, was forced out of Phayan by the fat man and the already confused Hastings.

One can even imagine how angry Fujii was when he saw the fat man sitting shamelessly in Hastings's seat, trying to command his fleet in battle

McKinley knew he could use strong tactics to settle the dispute. Hastings was only seriously ill after all. On the Headfield, these Filipino generals couldn't afford to make any waves. Messages can also be blocked without leaks. At least until the battle is over, their fleet will not notice anything wrong.

However, in this way, there is no end to the legacy.

First of all, the prestige of the fat man will be dealt a heavy blow. Resolving disputes and contradictions in this way can cure the symptoms and the root causes. The staff officers of the base camp could not be convinced, even if they reluctantly obeyed his orders.

Secondly, after this battle, the Allied fleets found themselves in the base camp for a long time without a hint of it, and were bound to be suspicious. As soon as the suspicions were confirmed, there was an immediate uproar*. At that point, there will be no turning around. Whether these generals are seized or not, the coalition will be torn apart.

Thinking of this, McKinley turned his head to look at the fat man worriedly.

"Finished?" Under the gaze of countless eyes, the fat man stepped down from the command seat and walked in front of Tsuyoshi Fujii.

"General Tian, do you have any advice?" Fujii Tsuyoshi glanced coldly at the surrounding guards and gendarmes and said, "Or, you don't bother to explain to us at all, and are ready to lock us up directly?" ”

"No, no, no." The fat man shook his head, and the flesh on his fat face shook like jelly.

In front of everyone's eyes, he circled around Fujii Gang and said with a smile: "Lieutenant General Fujii, I will send you five words?" ”

"Five words?" Fujii just looked at the fat man.

"Well, five words," the smile on the fat man's face disappeared suddenly, and he jumped like thunder, and the spit Xingzi directly sprayed Fujii Gang's full face: "Let you **fart"
