Chapter 68: Victory?
Before his rebirth, after Li Boying took over the position of commander, two months before the invasion of the Bimeng tribe, Deng Stone and Guo Maoshan were very close to Ping Qingyun, the minister of logistics. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info The close interaction between senior military officers is already suspicious, especially the three of them, and they are all crucial roles.
At that time, the three of them were significantly closer than usual because of the expansion of military strength, the preparation of weapons and materials, and the need to formulate a series of development plans.
But in the eyes of others, it is different, and this situation requires a high degree of vigilance.
A Supreme Military and Political General Staff, a general who shakes hands with heavy troops, and a minister in charge of materials, these three people can be said to have completely mastered the lifeblood of the Northern Tiger Army, if they want to unite to do something, it seems that there is no one in the entire Northern Tiger Army who can stop it.
The family faction headed by Li Yuanhai and Li Yuanhe sensed this potential huge crisis and secretly attended the meeting with Li Boying, so that he had to make a decision, he must get rid of one of them, break the situation of the three of them secretly working together, and maintain the family's position in the Northern Tiger Army.
He listened to advice and instigation at the time, and thought that it was the same, but among Guo Maoshan, Deng Stone, and Ping Qingyun, he felt that the one who threatened him was a master of calculation...... Dunstone!
It takes money to expand the army, right? Well, Li Boying has been slow to allocate funds, and the Ministry of Finance will not dare to spend money at will without his authorization.
Until one day, Ping Qingyun couldn't help but want to discuss the matter with Li Boying, but Li Boying turned him away, as Li Boying guessed, Ping Qingyun really found Deng Stone, and the two came together to persuade Li Boying, so that he could hurry up the authorization appropriation, so that the batch of materials and equipment that had been ordered from the alliance could be transported back and equipped with the new army.
Li Boying told them to go to the conference room and wait first, and he was busy with the business at hand, and he would authorize the appropriation later.
But the two of them never expected that what they were waiting for was not an approval, but a bullet......
After the death of the two, Guo Maoshan's military power was also weakened by half, and he was extremely disappointed in Li Boying.
Not long after, when the Beamons invaded, and there was no one under his command who could advise him, Li Boying finally understood that he had made a fatal mistake.
Later, he thought that they may not have been disobedient at that time, and he was wrong, he should not have killed Dunstone and the two by mistake, otherwise with Dunstone's ability, the Northern Tigers may still have a glimmer of hope.
Across time and space, the 'old acquaintances' met again, and Li Boying had mixed feelings in his heart, but he still thought that in his heart, in a sense, Dunstone was still the biggest threat to him, which was not about seizing power, but about psychological resistance, mainly because this person was too shrewd, shrewd to the extent that he had to be guarded against.
In the face of Deng Stone's feelings about eight years, Li Boying seems to understand why he is like this, saying that it sounds good, he wants to get closer to the relationship, and to put it badly, he wants to rely on the old and sell the old, and dominate the following conversation.
But he is the eldest young master of the Li family, and now he is the commander of the foreign army, and his status is relatively special, so in terms of the rhythm of the conversation, he can do whatever he wants, and Deng Stone can't help him at all.
After Deng Stone finished speaking, the two were silent for a while, Li Boying suddenly laughed, it was the kind of skin that didn't smile, a little perfunctory, he said: "General Staff Deng is a little sentimental, they all say that you are a Confucian general, but you are still a general after all, if you are too Confucian, I feel that I will lack the demeanor of a general." ”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Deng Stone was very bland, perhaps he thought that Li Boying was a student of Guo Maoshan, and it was normal to be prejudiced against him. What Li Boying usually looks like, he also knows that he is used to being arrogant, except for Li Yuanqing and a limited number of people, he looks arrogant to everyone. In fact, from the moment he entered the door, Li Boying behaved more regularly, which can be regarded as giving him face.
However, he recognized Li Boying's words very much, nodded after listening to it, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were worried, as if he was a little melancholy, and said in a flat tone: "That's right, I always feel that I seem to be missing something in recent years, listening to you say this, I can understand that there is less style and more sourness, but where does this general's style come from?" Naturally, it came from the battlefield. Now it's so comfortable, I'm like an office worker all day long, sitting here every day, either dealing with some military affairs, or dealing with government affairs, or talking with the officials of the five committees, this kind of life is too long, not only will people become lazy and lose their vitality, even if they are a tiger, under this comfort, they will be like cats, gradually docile. ”
Deng Stone finished saying this paragraph unhurriedly, Li Boying just heard it, and secretly sneered, with disdain, thinking that he was looking for himself to go under the stairs, but listening to it, Li Boying gradually realized that Deng Stone was referring to something...... Hearing the key meaning of the last sentence, Li Boying finally understood, suddenly put away all the contempt in his heart, and looked at Deng Stone's gaze, which became different.
He was silent, the room was quiet, the sound of leather boots stomping on the ground sounded outside the door, and then gradually faded away, he spoke: "The tiger is going to hunt, even if it has been comfortable for a long time, but it is still a fierce tiger, and its nature cannot be changed." ”
Dunstone's eyes narrowed slightly, "Yes, it depends on what the tiger's prey is this time, what if it's a more ferocious lion?" You know, in the laws of the universe, it is easy for the hunter and the prey to switch places with each other. ”
Li Boying leaned forward, his eyes like eagle eyes became sharp, stared at Dunstone, and asked coldly, "What do you want to express?" ”
He felt as if Dunstone was trying to hint at him, or to tease him, something he shouldn't have said to him.
In short, the war is imminent, and such frustrating words make him very unhappy to hear, if it weren't for Dunstone's identity, he would have slapped him in the past.
Dunstone smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing ......"
But before Dunstone could finish speaking, Li Boying slapped the table, although he didn't have much strength, but in the office of only two people, it was still very abrupt, interrupting his words.
The corners of Li Boying's mouth raised a smile, coupled with those sharp eyes, his demeanor was slightly evil, and he looked at Deng Stone and said: "This time, the tiger will still catch the prey, please General Staff Deng don't worry too much, the thing you should consider is how to make this tiger bite the prey more smoothly." ”
It was originally a vague metaphor, but Li Boying directly picked it out and deliberately disrupted the rhythm of the conversation, so that he could understand Dunstone's true thoughts.
Deng Stone felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of communication that did not follow the routine, and he said: "I am a staff officer, and I naturally have to consider the worst outcome, and what I discuss with you is just a possibility, once this possibility happens, the consequences will be very serious, don't you think?" ”
Combined with Deng Stone's words before and after, Li Boying understood, "You want me to persuade my father not to take charge himself." ”
Under Deng Stone's calm expression, he couldn't hide the surprise that flashed in his eyes, "I really didn't expect you to be so smart." He had the idea, but he didn't expect it to be guessed by a fourteen-year-old.
"It's not that I'm smart, it's that you underestimate my IQ, I don't like this kind of temptation very much, to be blunt, it's tiring to go around like you and talk to you, you know?" Li Boying said. He felt that Dunstone had no need to test his reaction in this way of political diplomacy, and perhaps Dunstone did not know much about him.
Perhaps Deng Stone also wanted to express an attitude towards Li Boying through this conversation, and he also thought that the current situation of the Northern Tiger Army was very unsatisfactory, and that it was too risky for the master of the First Army to go into battle in person. But what is the use of saying to Li Boying? Because with Li Boying's current situation, he can't solve anything at all, and he must understand this.
"And what about your attitude?" Dunstone asked.
"What kind of temper does he have, you still don't understand?" Li Boying shook his head, "I can't do this, not to mention I don't want to persuade him." ”
"Why?" Dunstone frowned, his tone of inquiry a little hurried.
He didn't expect Li Boying to be able to do it himself, but planned to use Li Boying to influence the people of the Li family, including his grandfather and his mother...... Strive to persuade Li Yuanqing before sending troops. But he never thought that Li Boying would say this.
Because he was personally in charge, he could communicate more directly with Lundland, but once the war started, only he could do the bidding on the ground. It's just a battle, both sides have leeway, not to mention this war, the Northern Tiger Army will win! And I will also go into battle with him, and I hope that Staff Officer Deng will give him approval. Li Boying was very confident, as if he said that if he would win, he would definitely win.
Deng Stone was silent, this conversation has completely disrupted his plan so far, he also feels that he underestimated Li Boying too much, he really deserves to be the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Li family, familiar with it, deeply influenced by the family, it is indeed rare to have such a mind at the age of fourteen.
If he changed his way, he could have held Li Boying, but he thought that it was no longer necessary, because Li Boying was going to go to the battlefield, and the words he said later would be meaningless.
Seeing that Deng Stone was slow to speak, Li Boying added: "With such a good opportunity for meritorious service, General Staff Deng can't leave my Eagle Banner Army aside." ”
Dunstone's habitual fingers tapped the table three times, his eyes became sharper, his tone became heavier, and he said seriously: "You say that you will win, where does your confidence come from?" You know, it's a war. ”
Recently, he combined the existing intelligence of the two armies and conducted no less than dozens of battlefield exercises with the staff team, repeatedly changing the arrangement of troops, switching between attack and defense, and combining the combat effectiveness of friendly forces, the morale of the camp, and so on...... Many rapidly changing situations have been envisaged, but each time the results are not ideal, and the Northern Tiger Army is still in a relatively dangerous position.
Suppose the two sides have a decisive battle and win separately in the end, it will also be a big loss of vitality.
With the victory of the Whirlwind Army, the 100,000 troops of the Northern Tiger Army will be reduced by more than half, of course, this result is quite ideal.
But if the whole line fails, the position of the Northern Tiger Army's defense line is very easy to be surrounded by enemy troops, and even if the military committee comes forward in time to keep the command of the Northern Tiger Army, it will have to pay a huge price to redeem it.
Moreover, in this war, the camps on both sides were temporarily composed of multiple armies, the internal structure was very complicated, and there were wariness and suspicion between each other, and in such a chaotic situation, even Dunstone felt that he was a little unable to grasp the direction.
So he didn't understand, why did Li Boying dare to say that this time he would win?
