Chapter II: Rapid Seizure of Power (II)
"Below is the chief of the main department, appointing Dembra as a general and chief of staff; appointed Bert Kyle as general and chief of military intelligence; Huang Tao was appointed as a general and served as the chief of logistics. The officer whose name was pronounced above followed me, and the rest waited to rest here. ”
Tang Long turned around and left after reading it, and the eight officers whose names were read were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed.
Hearing the appointment of these eight people, everyone was obviously stunned for a moment, and most of the officers' faces were not very good-looking.
It's not that they don't agree with the appointment of these eight people, from the bottom of their hearts, these eight people are indeed the most capable among so many soldiers in the capital area, but except for Wei Fei, who originally had the rank of major general, the others were all with the rank of colonel, and they actually became generals and lieutenant generals all of a sudden?
What about the dozens of generals, hundreds of lieutenant generals, and hundreds of major generals among these people?
Protest? Those armed soldiers who were eyeing them did not dare to speak up.
Levy whispered to the two brothers beside him: "It seems that this marshal is ready to drastically transform the troops." ”
When Wei Fei and Wei heard this, they nodded silently.
After the group came to a small conference room, Tang Long didn't wait for them to sit down, he pointed to the computer in the position and said, "Your respective staff, choose among the computers by yourself, give me a list after choosing, and I will let them come in for a meeting."
"Remember, the eight of you only need to be accountable to me, and I don't care who you choose to be your staff." As he spoke, he clasped his hands and closed his eyes, and said nothing.
Wei Fei and the others were stunned when they heard this, and they actually let themselves choose their staff? That's good, I was worried about it, although I definitely have the ability to take on a new position, but I'm afraid that the people below will not be convinced. Now, I can choose my own henchmen to help, and the work must be very good.
I really didn't expect that this marshal would use people like this.
Thinking of this, everyone glanced at Tang Long, and then began to select their staff through the computer. They all knew which people were outstanding and which ones were dry meals, so they quickly picked them out.
Of course, in the selection process, when encountering talents that everyone is rushing to want, there will definitely be arguments and competitions to determine the ownership of talents.
Among the five fleets, only Wei Fei was the admiral, and he was the first person appointed by the marshal, and the idiot could also see that the marshal attached great importance to Wei Fei, so the remaining seven officers handed over the task of reporting to Wei Fei.
"Report to Your Excellency the Marshal, the staff candidates for the subordinates and others have been selected." Wei Fei came to Tang Long and saluted and shouted loudly.
Tang Long opened his eyes, reached out and took the printed list, glanced at it slightly, handed it to Feng Shuang behind him and said, "Feng Shuang, you go and notify the people on the list above to come in for a meeting." Feng Bing, you go and release the candidates for this list. All general-level officers whose names are not on the list will be sent to the Military History Institute to study the history of the army. ”
After the two beauties were ordered to leave, the conference room suddenly fell silent, Tang Long didn't speak, and the officers didn't know what to say. However, they all had a feeling in their hearts that this marshal was resolute, and their order to Tang Long was that all the generals who were not selected should study the history of the army and raise their hands in favor.
Those generals can be said to be their own superiors, and none of them have any ability, but they have a large number of connections in the army, and if they remain in the army, they will not be able to command them at all. Now that it's gone, I can drastically sort out the structure of the army.
As those generals were escorted away by the armed soldiers, and when Tang Long's order was conveyed to the whole army, the army was immediately in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.
The mutiny that the generals who had put under house arrest thought of had not happened at all, because the soldiers would not be willing to mutiny for them, the generals whom they did not approve of at all, and their loyal subordinates, having lost contact with them, did not dare to take any risks at this juncture.
After all, they didn't know who was willing to go with them, and the three thousand Moby Dick warships under the direct control of the marshal were not vegetarians.
As a result, the army reform, which was extremely difficult to deal with, was solved by Tang Longsan in two, and the control of the Wanluo Federation army was also firmly in the hands of him, the supreme military commander.
It's just that I just don't know if this Wanluo Federation army will be firmly in his hands when Tang Long doesn't want to be the supreme military commander of the Wanluo Federation?
The newly formed fleet, staff officers, military intelligence, logistics chiefs and staff members all gathered in this small conference room, except for the eight chief officers, the other staff members were very surprised, they actually became the upper echelons of the army all of a sudden, you know, they were all middle and lower level officers before.
Therefore, at this moment, in addition to being full of joy, they looked at the young marshal sitting on the throne with reverence.
Although this young marshal was younger than himself, and he was not familiar with him, the fact that he dared to promote himself alone was worth his life.
"I would like to remind you here that the commanders of each department of the fleet are responsible to me, and the chiefs of staff are accountable to your commanders, and I promise that I will not overstep the command, but if any department goes wrong, I will hold the commander of the department responsible."
Hearing Tang Long's words, everyone was stunned, this is a very obvious decentralization. In the past, those commanders were eager to collect the management power of a private, but now this marshal is so bold to delegate power?
Thinking of this, although everyone didn't understand what the marshal thought, the staff members all looked at their own commander, because it was their own commander who controlled their future.
And the chief officers were relieved, with the words of the marshal, their own department would be easy to manage, and if they stayed in their own position, they were most afraid of overstepping the command from above.
Tang Long knocked on the table and said, "Okay, the matter of the reorganization and formation of the fleet and departments in the back is your own problem, and I don't care about it." Now, let me start by stating our initial goals, which are that the fleet and its various departments need to be reorganized and put into operation within three months.
"The first target of the crusade is the three galaxies of Simu, Zola, and Wenmin, and the Military Intelligence Department pays attention to collecting intelligence, the General Staff Department formulates plans, and the Logistics Department is responsible for supply.
"Only three fleets will be sent for this crusade, and which three will be sent depends on how well your fleet is trained."
Tang Long's words silenced everyone.
After a while, Bert Kell, who was in charge of military intelligence, stood up and said with some hesitation: "Sir, the number of troops in the three systems of Simu, Zola, and Wenmin is unknown, and there are about hundreds of small forces, and we only dispatched three fleets to attack three galaxies at the same time, so I'm afraid that the troops are a little insufficient."
"Moreover, there is a large area of the star field occupied by pirates, and it is said that these pirates have a connection with Moonress, and the war will attract the attack of Moonress."
Tang Long said with a smile: "I didn't ask you to attack three galaxies at the same time, these three galaxies are just the first batch of targets, you can pick one at random to fight, it depends on how your departments cooperate and how you make plans."
"As for the matter of the pirate galaxy, you just need to be vigilant, we will not solve the pirate galaxy until we have recovered most of the territory."
Hearing Tang Long's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, since they were fighting one by one, then the three fleets could easily solve these three chaotic galaxies. So everyone started talking about it.
Looking at these subordinates who were discussing, Tang Long couldn't help sighing, it seems that he is really used to delegating power to his subordinates, looking at this, he knows that he is the same as in Datang, there is nothing to do.
Liu Sihao, who was hiding in his dormitory, was jumping to scold his mother.
The reason is very simple, I originally thought that Tang Long would be a marshal, and those from the Federation would be able to get a fleet commander at worst, but I didn't expect that none of the old men who came with the Tang Dynasty were appointed, let alone fleet commanders, not even captains.
And he was kicked out of the Star Zero Force and became the commander of the ground forces of the Capital Star.
The only slight consolation is that he has been promoted to major general.
It's a pity that before I had time to be happy, I was told that this major general is the rank of the Wanluo Federation, and his own rank in Datang is still a lieutenant!
Fart, what's so good about this major general of the ground forces of the Wanluo Federation, the salary is not as good as a second lieutenant in Datang! Besides, in this cosmic age, the ground forces are not even as good as the logistics troops!
Why didn't Tang Long, this bastard, let me be the captain? Didn't he know Lao Tzu's command ability?
If these were the only things, Liu Sihao would not have jumped to scold his mother, after all, he was in charge of hundreds of thousands of people. The most fundamental reason for him to jump to his feet and scold his mother is that Li Lijun, a simple-minded guy with developed limbs, actually became a major general and also served as the commander of the ground forces of a planet.
Although Li Lijun's Tang rank is lower than his own, why is that idiot's Wanluo Federation rank the same as his own? Is that idiot capable of the same as mine? Damn Tang Long! Damn Li Lijun!
After Liu Sihao shouted and vented his scolding in the room, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to normal, tidied up his clothes in front of the mirror, freshened up his clothes, and opened the door to manage his subordinates. He knew that what he needed now was to take root and arrange all his subordinates under the army.
Although he can't become the captain of the fleet, as long as he firmly controls the ground forces, he can't do anything, after all, people can't always stay on the battleship.
Chen Yu, who was already in the presidential palace to handle government affairs and appoint officials, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after learning about Tang Long's appointment, and then sighed for a while and said: "Only he dared to risk the risk of a mutiny in the army to carry out army reform." ”
Lin Nan, who stayed beside him, asked puzzledly: "Why does he dare to do this?" Was he sure that the army would not mutiny? ”
Chen Yu said with a smile: "It should be, he gathered all the officers above the colonel level, wiped them out, and then quickly appointed the officers who were recognized by the soldiers as the chief, plus his three thousand Beluga warships to escort it, and before the fleet could react, it was a foregone conclusion." ”
"It's that simple? I knew that we would do this, so why bother to bring Tang Long over? Lin Nan said regretfully.
Chen Yu shook his head: "If it weren't for Tang Long's raid on the Capital Star and the arrest of all the councilors, this effect would not have been achieved at all." And what plays an important role in this is the extremely powerful power of the Moby Dick battleship, without the existence of the Moby Dick battleship, all this cannot be done at all.
"Don't underestimate those councillors because of their obedient appearance now, they don't have a certain ability, can they set off those big storms in the past? Wasn't we stronger then than we are now? Don't you all have to avoid the limelight quickly? ”
Lin Nan sighed: "Alas, it seems that Tang Long is still lucky." ”
Chen Yu didn't speak, but sneered in his heart: "Good luck, good luck can make a private, in a few years, become a warlord with thousands of planets and hundreds of thousands of troops?" Hmph, I don't believe you're going to believe this, it's not pretending to be an idiot and pretending to come to me, right? ”
And Lin Nan thought in his heart: "Hmph, Chen Yu, let you be proud for a long time, and when the situation stabilizes, your position as president will be mine!" ”
The two people with ghosts in their hearts looked at each other and smiled, and continued to be busy with the government affairs of the capital area.
Tang Long returned to his room, Tang Xing and the others had been waiting for a long time.
Tang Long sighed with relief: "Sister, why do you want me to be a marshal?" Isn't it good for you to be a good one? I'm going back to Datang to command the battle. ”
Tang Xing smiled: "I'm going to be?" I'm a girl, and I don't have any military status, and if I become a marshal, it will not just be a protest march, but an army riot, because the army can't accept outsiders to lead them.
"Although you are also an outsider in their eyes, no matter what, you are also a soldier of the Wanluo Federation, and with this, they can still accept you to lead them."
"Popular protest marches?" Tang Long shouted a little surprised.
The little black cat hurriedly said: "Yes, big brother, the people are not satisfied with you becoming the marshal of the Federation, the people of the entire capital area are protesting against the political axe [***], and actually let a young man in his twenties become a marshal." ”
"How so? Why didn't they protest and march when those councillors in the capital area came in the past? Tang Long asked nervously, although he had long realized that there would be people who opposed him becoming a marshal, but he didn't expect that the people in the entire capital area would oppose it.
The little black cat smiled: "In the past, it was not that people did not protest, but that once they marched to protest, they would be arrested." The reason why people from all over the capital are protesting now is because the police on the planets have not stopped the march at all.
"Hehe, as long as the eldest brother gives an order and asks the ground troops to give them a comprehensive arrest or a massacre, this protest will definitely disappear immediately."
"Arrest? Slaughter? No, I can't. Tang Long hurriedly shook his head and rejected the little black cat's proposal.
