Chapter Ninety-Seven: Only 3,000 People (Recommend! Subscription)
Seeing that Situ Jin could still walk to the front calmly under the gaze of so many of his own people, many generals subconsciously squinted their eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If it is an ordinary person, it is absolutely impossible to face so many wolf-like fierce generals for the first time, and he is not afraid at all, but Situ Jin really doesn't feel anything, he has faced too many big scenes, and it is really difficult for this kind of scene to make any waves in his heart at the moment.
"All the people who should have arrived?Galen?" Situ Jin asked lightly as he looked at the purple-haired man standing on his right.
Galen hurriedly nodded: "It's here, Commander!"
"Okay!" Situ Jin didn't seem to notice everyone's gaze at him, and said, "Then let's get down to business!"
Situ Jin knew that these generals would not obey him, and he didn't expect these people to recognize him as a boss in such a short period of time, Situ Jin had been a soldier, and he couldn't say that he knew very well what these soldiers thought, but he also roughly knew that except for real ability, nothing would make them surrender easily.
It was precisely because of this that Situ Jin chose to go straight to the topic: "Generals, the war between the empire and the four small countries has lasted for too long, and this war has caused great losses to the empire! Previously, His Majesty sent people to negotiate peace with the four small countries, but I didn't expect the four small countries to open their mouths and ask us for twenty cities as a condition for peace talks.
Although most of these generals are now idle at home, they are extremely concerned about the affairs of the DPRK and China, especially the things related to the war, and they are also aware of the process of Ferdinand sending envoys to the four small countries, so now that Situ Jin said it, there was no surprise on everyone's faces, and the disdain for Situ Jin on his face became more and more obvious.
"Commander!" a general who looked to be nearly sixty years old, probably the oldest in the big tent, said unhurriedly: "We have been fighting with the four small countries without interruption in this battle!
Situ Jin looked at the veteran who spoke: "That's right, we have indeed been losing the war before, but this war is related to the survival of the country, and we will definitely not allow any more defeats after that!"
The middle-aged man who was the first to shout when Situ Jin didn't come just now sneered, and said in a strange manner: "Don't allow any more failures?" Then dare to ask the commander, do you already have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
Situ Jin glanced at the middle-aged man, and then his eyes swept slightly over the faces of everyone in the big tent, and he said: "I will personally rush to the front line to command the battle early tomorrow morning, and the reason why I called everyone over today is to draw some elite soldiers from your hands to go with me!"
Hearing Situ Jin's words, all the generals looked a little surprised, although there have been rumors in the empire these days that Ferdinand was going to send Situ Jin to the front line to command the war, but this is an unconfirmed rumor after all, many people have heard it and passed, and they didn't take it seriously, and now they heard Situ Jin personally confirm this rumor, and everyone really felt a little hard to believe it for a while.
After a while, the middle-aged man just now sneered and said, "Commander, even if you really want to go to the front line to command the battle, I'm afraid we won't be able to send you any people!"
"That's right!" a lean, long-faced man immediately echoed: "From the beginning of the war to the present, the empire has continuously dispatched men and horses to the front line, and the troops under our command have already been almost siphoned off! It can be said that now in the entire imperial capital, except for the city defense army, all the armies together are probably only two divisions, is it possible that the commander wants to take all these people away?"
Situ Jin smiled, of course he wouldn't be unclear about this situation, but this time he didn't want to bring too many people, he looked slightly sideways at the black-bearded general who spoke before, Situ Jin said: "Coronado, as far as I know, don't you still have an elite army of 3,000 people in your hands, I just want you to have 3,000 people!"
Originally, Coronado was a little surprised when he heard Situ Jin directly call out his name, but when he heard Situ Jin's words, his expression changed even more, and he was about to speak, but Situ Jin added: "Of course, as the direct commander of this army, you also go with me!"
Hearing Situ Jin's words, Coronado, who originally wanted to speak, moved his lips, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say back into his throat.
At this time, another general spoke: "Commander, I heard you right, right? You only need to bring 3,000 men?"
Situ Jin looked at the general: "Otherwise, you don't have anyone under you, do I have any other choice?"
Situ Jin's words fell, and there was silence in the big tent, in fact, strictly speaking, the imperial capital definitely does not only have two divisions, but only the people of these two divisions can be seen on the compilation list, Situ Jin has just taken office, and it is impossible for him to directly make it clear to these generals in the big tent that there are still many people under you who are not making up, and then dig out these people!
In fact, this kind of situation like being in the team but not in the formation exists in every part of the empire, relatively speaking, this situation in the imperial capital may be the lightest, this is a loophole in the system, Situ Jin can't change anything by himself, even if he really wants to make some kind of improvement in this area in the future, it can only be said that he tries his best to control this situation within a certain range, and it is impossible to eliminate it.
After ordering the soldiers and horses, Situ Jin looked at the six military staff officers standing on his left and right sides, and said, "Hamilton, Galen, and Mu Li'er, the three of you will go to the front line with me, and the remaining three will stay in the imperial capital to deal with the daily affairs of the military department!"
Hearing the order, Hamilton and Galen immediately whispered, but Mu Liel still did not speak with a cold face.
Situ Jin didn't go to see Mu Li'er, and ordered again: "The logistics support department must prepare the weapons, armor and half a month's grain and grass of the three thousand elite soldiers by tomorrow morning, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise the military law will deal with it!"
After arranging a series of things, Situ Jin looked at the generals in the big tent and said, "I've finished what I want to say, do you have anything else to say?"
No one spoke, and the meeting was brief to everyone's surprise, and of course, the same was true of the meeting.
Although they had long guessed that the newly appointed commander was young and vigorous, everyone did not expect that Situ Jin only planned to take 3,000 people to the front line, which made these generals sneer in their hearts, and planned to see how Situ Jin took these 3,000 people to take over the command from Gani Bilo on the front line, and then command the already weak troops on the front line to repel the 200,000 troops of the four small countries!
