Chapter 2 Chapter 7 Dingding Section 74 Ambition is like iron
readx;
The appointment of the governors of Sanjiang, Donghai, and Yanyun counties was suddenly raised by Wufeng at this time, which made Xiao Tang and Su Qin both a little surprised, in the eyes of the two, seeing that the accession to the throne was imminent, the candidate for the governor of Sanjiang County Wufeng had never been determined, and the two estimated that Wufeng was probably preparing to determine the governors of these remaining counties when he entered the capital and ascended the throne of the empire, but they did not expect that Wufeng would suddenly ask for a request to be determined as soon as possible at this time, and it is no wonder that the two were a little unsure of what His Royal Highness King Qin had in mind.

On the other hand, Wu Feng also informed Ling Tianfang, director of the Military Affairs Administration, who had returned from the South China Sea, of his thoughts on reorganizing the army, that is, the army of the new empire will be controlled within 1.5 million men, and this will also include the regiments stationed abroad, such as the regiment stationed in India, and the current cavalry corps, and the Great South Sea Fleet should also have at least two combat fleets of equal size.
At the same time, Wu Feng also asked the General Staff Department of the Military Affairs Administration to actively prepare for foreign wars and plan in multiple directions according to their own intentions, that is, the battle plan against the Liboya people to the north, the battle plan against the Japanese people to the east, the battle plan to the southwest and the alliance or neutral areas of the Western Peninsula, the battle plan to the south against the Maqi Khans, and the battle plan to expand influence in the Indean region to the west.
Ling Tianfang was stunned by such a huge military plan and the idea of continuing to reduce the strength of the army, he once thought that it was because of the pressure of the political axe that Wufeng would make such a plan to reduce the army, but after consulting the opinions of Xiao Su and the others, he learned that although the political axe asked for the size of the army to be limited due to financial difficulties, it did not require the army to be reduced to the point where it was difficult to maintain even the current strength, which made Ling Tianfang puzzled.
In particular, the multi-directional battle plan proposed by Wu Feng made Ling Tian refreshed his big moves, which also determined that the new empire would continue to maintain an active offensive posture after its establishment, especially the attack on the Japanese and the Maqi Khans would be the first echelon, and the southwest direction would probably also be a key point, His Royal Highness the King of Qin had repeatedly shown a strong interest in the new continent that had emerged in front of Ling Tianfang, and now it was a little unrealistic for the navy to directly participate in the competition for the new continent in one step, especially now that the naval base in the South China Sea was too far away from the new continent, that is to say, at least even if the Great South Sea Navy is formed, it will need a moderately located transit station, and some islands in the East Latin Ocean in the south of the Central Continent will become new prey.
Xiao Tang, Su Qin, and Ling Tianfang didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Qin had summoned the three of them here to decide so many important things, and they still had to decide in such a quick way, even Ling Tianfang felt that this method was too simple and sloppy, and it should take a few more days to think about such an important matter, and now His Royal Highness King Qin actually asked the three of them to come up with their opinions now, which was a little too child's play.
"What's the matter? dumb, do you think it's not appropriate to make a decision now, or do you have any concerns?" Wu Feng squinted at the three people who were sitting under him without saying a word, he deliberately did not let Mo Lun participate, although having Mo Lun to participate can put forward different views from some special angles, but now does not seem to be the time to raise objections, Wu Feng needs to carry out some affairs first, as for the things that need to be improved, they can only be adjusted gradually in the process.
"Your Highness, the selection of the governor of the three counties is too important, and it is probably too rash for you to ask us to confirm it at once; in addition, the military deployment and strategic plan you raised are considered by your subordinates to be a big matter, not only involving the army itself, but also involving the adjustment of many financial and foreign policies, and it is impossible to make a decision now, this is a plan that can only be reached through consultation among many parties, and you want us to express our position now, isn't it too difficult for us?" Seeing that Xiao Tang was reluctant to answer Wu Feng's somewhat impatient topic with a bitter face, Su Qin hurriedly responded smoothly first, so as not to make the scene more stiff, Ling Tianfang This guy is too, with a sneaky look, could it be that he forgot his responsibility when he heard that there was another big battle to fight?
"Su Qin, don't give me a sloppy look, the candidate for the governor of the four counties, I believe that you and Xiao Tang have at least a spectrum in their hearts, don't pretend to be garlic for me with a bitter face there, and offend that if you recommend this, I tell you, the decision is up to me, you only need to recommend the more suitable candidate in your mind, don't think that you are facing the affairs of entering Beijing immediately, and you can delay it until later to solve it, I tell you, there are more affairs after entering Beijing, I am afraid it will be more difficult to calm down and discuss these issues, some things are better than late, so that some people are worried about worrying about itγ As for military affairs, this has already been decided, and you don't need to worry too much about this, what you should consider is how to cooperate financially and diplomatically, how to guarantee finances, and how to adjust and coordinate foreign policy, and this is what you need to prepare for now. I will tell you a few clearly, I am not a person who disregards the people's strength and recklessness, but I have never thought of being a king of peace, if the Tanghe people want to obtain greater space for survival and development, they must not rest on their laurels and be content with pleasure, at this point you should all have a higher understanding than others, and do not blindly follow the clouds, how should you guide and lead them to follow your intentions, this is the wrist of the master. β
The speed of speech is very slow, and the tone is quite calm, but the three of them can hear his inner determination from Wu Feng's words, this paragraph is by no means his words, but specifically reminds the three of them that they should cooperate with his decision and make adjustments in time, Xiao Tang seems to also realize that today Wu Feng may not be a whim to gather the three of them to talk casually, but to speed up the pace of the new empire, which seems to be a little different from Wu Feng's performance some time ago, but Xiao Tang can feel that the current Wu Feng seems to have a bit of the taste of the proud lord a few years agoγ
"Your Highness, we probably all have different opinions on the choice of the governor of the three counties, but this is just our different perspectives, if you must be sure today, it is not impossible. However, in terms of military adjustment and strategic planning, I still advise Your Highness not to rush into success, your every move may bring many unnecessary associations to the generals below, and even have some side effects. Cheng Dayou attacked Doton, I don't know if he was authorized by His Highness, if not, he is arbitrary, and the Department of Military Justice should intervene in the investigation. But I'm thinking, even if he didn't get His Highness's explicit instructions, I'm afraid that he still figured out His Highness's thoughts in His Highness's orders to him, which is very dangerous, Your Highness, if you really want him to do something, you might as well give a clear order, this ambiguous attitude is easy to be misunderstood and abused by subordinates. β
Xiao Tang finally picked up the topic, Cheng Dayou's military operations in the Okhotsk region had been fed back to Hanzhong, and the ambassador of the Kingdom of Doton to Yanjing had also rushed to Hanzhong to urgently meet with the officials of the Foreign Affairs Department, but he had not learned about His Royal Highness the King of Qin's attitude towards this matter, and all parties had not yet expressed their positions at will.
"Well, I made a mistake on that, I'll pay attention to it next time. Cheng Dayou was instructed by me, and the Dodons should teach them a lesson, but the war will end here, and Okhotsk is my target, which will be an important bridgehead and base for the Great Eastern Navy, and everything else is just a bluff. Wu Feng is actually aware of the possible sequelae of this vague instruction, which is easy to be used by some generals with ulterior motives, and bypassing the Military Affairs Administration to issue orders is also an act of breaking the regulations, and it should also be stopped. "Okay, I think we should not go too far, before lunch, we should determine the governor of the three counties, as for the afternoon and evening, and even tomorrow, we should discuss our military adjustment and strategic plan deployment, the government affairs and the foreign affairs department should come up with a corresponding plan for this plan of the army, I hope that after entering Yanjing, we can soon implement this plan. β
Xiao Tang and Su Qin's eyes suddenly fell on Ling Tianfang, who was a little embarrassed, it turned out that this guy had been prepared for a long time, and even the plan had been prepared, but two days ago, he pretended to ask himself if the two of them had any views on the adjustment and deployment of the army.
Seeing the suspicious eyes of Xiao Su and the others, Ling Tianfang hurriedly explained: "Two, don't get me wrong, this is also the task that His Royal Highness King Qin has just assigned, and our staff department has also added two days and two nights to come up with a plan with a rough surname, it should be said that it is quite rough, but the two of you can understand a rough idea, and it is also convenient for you to carry out your work." β
When Ling Tianfang said this, the two of them were relieved, two days ago was when Wu Feng asked the two of them to consider the issue of the choice of the governor of the four counties, but at that time, both of them mentioned it because it was just a whim of His Royal Highness the Prince, but they didn't expect that two days later, they would have to make a decision immediately, or Ling Tianfang was shrewd, and he was able to guess that His Royal Highness the King of Qin had really made a big decision this time.
