Just when Huo Shan was immersed in the gentle township, he was interrupted by the heavy and chaotic footsteps from far and near from outside the study door!

"Young Master!"

"Hey, Leizi, what are you stopping me from doing!"

Listening to Huo Hu's unique loud voice sounding outside the door, and watching He Wenyi struggle out of his arms with a dark panic and a beautiful red face, Huo Shan understood that today he wanted to put his future wife to bed and end his two-life and thirty-year virgin career was completely ruined!

"Brother Shan, I, I'll go back first!" After finishing speaking, without waiting for Huo Shan's consent, he cleaned up the table in a little panic, put the cup aside after Huo Shan drank it, then grabbed the tray, opened the door, and then in the stunned and knowing eyes of the senior officers of the Huo Family's army, he trotted away and ran away!

Obviously, before the two got married, even if the two parties had already decided on a family affair, such an intimate scene in the same room already violated He Wenyi's previous moral and ethical education!

Looking at the military officers of the Huo family army who rushed in, and the narrow smiles on their faces, Huo Shan asked angrily: "Say, what are you guys looking for me when you don't sleep at night?"

"Young Master, we didn't know that Young Grandma was also here!" Huo Hu's words were stunned when he said this, and after looking at the stinky face on Huo Shan's face, his voice lowered a little. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Why don't we come back tomorrow?"

After hearing his words, Huo Shan couldn't help but roll his eyes, the atmosphere that he had managed to create just now had been ruined by this group of guys. There's a chance to do it all over again!

"Okay, let's not talk about this!" Huo Shan's words paused, and the expression on his face gradually became serious, "I believe that you have also seen the information forwarded from the American War Zone, tell me what you think!"

Speaking of the war in the Americas, which was already on the verge of death, the dark color of the jokes on everyone's faces just now disappeared! The atmosphere in the study also became solemn.

"Young Master, according to the war games of our staff. The accuracy of the intelligence provided by the Theater of the Americas exceeded 70 percent, and the Americans were likely to use the Southern Theater as their main battlefield, and they were likely to have hidden a heavy artillery unit equipped with more than 200 guns inside the United States. A powerful reserve corps with more than 300,000 people!" said Huo Shi, who is the chief of the general staff of the Huo Family Army.

"Is there any basis?" The Americas Theater forwarded this urgent telegram to Taiwan, but only half a day had passed, and their reconnaissance operations had not yet achieved clear results, so Huo Shan was somewhat puzzled by the General Staff Staff's affirmative answer. And. He also understands that the 300,000 US Army, armed with massive heavy artillery, is very important. What a major threat to the Huo Jiajun American Theater, which was originally inferior in strength.

"Yes!" After finishing speaking, Huo Shi's face showed a deep look of shame, "Young master, it was a mistake in the work of our General Staff, we had received information from the Military Intelligence Bureau many times before that the United States had purchased hundreds of light and heavy artillery pieces from Britain, France and Germany, but we never connected with the intelligence that 'these artillery pieces have not appeared in the troop sequence of the two corps of the United States in the north and the center'! So much so that it caused a major strategic mistake in the Americas. Please also punish the young master!"

"Young Master, as the Minister of War. I should be responsible for the mistakes of the Americas strategy this time!" Huo Long said after him.

After waving his hand to interrupt Huo Hu, Huo Wolf, and Huo Rongguang, who wanted to continue to stand up and take responsibility, Huo Shan walked to the rest sofa in the study with his eyebrows and slowly did it, although the General Staff led by Huo Shi made a mistake in the strategy of the Americas and did not perceive the real strategic intentions of the Americans, but Huo Shan did not have much blame in his heart!

Both Huo Long and Huo Shi were only halfway monks, and they had not undergone a strict and long-term formal military education, and they really lacked the experience of commanding large corps in combat, and although they had been tempered by several wars between China and the Netherlands, China and Portugal, and China and the United States, the previous wars they experienced were just pediatrics compared to the current super war in which the Huo family army and the United States combined were close to three million.

In addition, in the past two years, the Huo Jiajun has won almost all of the victories in a series of wars with the US Army, and both the officers and men of the front line of the American Theater and the organs at all levels of the Taiwan Military Headquarters have inevitably felt pride and contempt when facing the Americans. Even if the strength of the American theater is far behind the Americans, it has never shaken the confidence that the Huo Jiajun will finally be able to win this war.

It is precisely this kind of bottom-up carefulness that makes it inevitable for the General Staff to make mistakes when collecting information and formulating strategies.

But now is not the time to pursue such mistakes. Of course, simple penalties are still needed.

Thinking of this, Huo Shan also made a decision in his heart. Looking up at the people with solemn expressions and a hint of shame in their eyes, "Although this strategic mistake was discovered thanks to the timely report of the American Theater of Operations, and did not cause irreparable consequences, I don't want to make a big fuss, but the necessary punishment is indispensable!" Speaking of this, Huo Shan's words paused, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly said: "Supervisors at all levels of the military headquarters will be fined for three months, and all officers above the major level of the General Staff will be fined for half a year!"

"Thank you, young master!"

Although three months or half a year's salary is not less, it is not difficult to bear compared to the wealthy people and the senior officers of the Huo Family Army who are paid a lot every month!

After waving his hand and motioning for everyone to sit down, Huo Shan asked, "Have you discussed any specific solutions to the sudden situation in the American theater this time?"

"Yes, young master, before coming here again, we have already discussed and sorted out two solutions!" After a pause, Huo Long looked at the listening look on Huo Shan's face, and then said: "First, continue to expand the troops, and continue to increase the number of troops to the American theater!"

Hearing this, Huo Shan's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is it a little too late to increase troops now?"

After five years of development, the Huo Jiajun has not only achieved unimaginable economic development, but has also far surpassed its predecessors in military construction; as far as the regular troops are concerned, not counting the armed forces within the Qing Dynasty and the Indochina Peninsula, the troops under the direct control of the Huojia Army have reached nearly 75 divisions, more than 1.3 million troops, and more than 5 million reserve soldiers who have received a certain amount of military training! In addition, the arsenal that Huo Jiajun has vigorously built in the past five years and the huge wealth of the Huo family can also ensure the expansion of Huo Jiajun again!

However, it will take at least two months from the completion of the formation of the troops to the time they cross the Pacific Ocean to reach the battlefield! However, according to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Americans have already made preparations for the final attack, and if nothing else, there is still a month to go.

As the minister of the military department, Huo Long of course knew that it was a little late to increase troops to the Americas, but as the military commander, of course he hoped that the more troops in his hands the better!

"Young master, although the increase in troops is a little late now, with the more than one million troops in our current American theater, plus the assistance of perfect fortifications and a powerful river fleet, even in the early stage of the war, the Americans can occupy some early advantages with the assistance of a large number of troops and the freezing of the winter rivers, but it is impossible to defeat us in a short period of time just by relying on these. So, we have enough time to send another troop boost to the theater of operations in the Americas!"

After listening to his words, Huo Shan pondered for a while and slowly shook his head. At present, almost all of the nearly 1.2 million troops in the Americas Theater are located on the west banks of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and almost all of the food and drink of such a huge army, as well as clothing, ammunition, and other materials, are supplied by the two main railway arteries in the north and south! In this era when the average speed of the railways is only 30 or 40 kilometers per hour, the logistical supply of such a large army has reached the limit of these two railways!

If hundreds of thousands of troops are added to the American Theater again, then a single logistical supply alone can drag down the entire Huo Jiajun Army's more than one million troops in the American Theater!

"Let's talk about other options!"

Hearing this, Huo Long's eyes inevitably showed a hint of disappointment! However, he still said quickly: "The second plan we discussed is to abandon the current defense plan, take the initiative to attack before the Americans are ready to complete it, and make use of the suddenness of the action, the superior weapons and equipment, and the quality of the soldiers, to strive to first defeat a part of the US ** team in one direction, and narrow the gap between us and the Americans." Moreover, our initiative to attack can also strike at the hidden military forces of the Americans, and let them expose the strategic purpose of this war in advance and make targeted arrangements!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Long's words were paused, and after looking at Huo Shan's face again, he said with some solemnity: "But in this way, we give up the strong fortifications and take the initiative to attack, and the losses of the troops may exceed the estimate!

Hearing this, Huo Shan nodded calmly, and after thinking for a while, he raised his head and asked, "Does the military headquarters have any other suggestions?"

"No!" Huo Long shook his head slowly.

Huo Shan nodded, "Which strategy does the military headquarters tend to adopt?"

"The second one!" Huo Long replied, although he said this, Huo Long hoped that both plans could be passed, not only to expand the army again, but also to take the initiative in the American theater of operations!

"Well, this time, the army headquarters will not formulate a specific battle plan, and leave your decision to Wu Guangzong and them, and they will decide how to fight this war!" Huo Shan finally decided. The lesson of this strategic mistake tells Huo Shan that it is more prudent to hand over the matter of commanding a war and formulating a strategy to the generals on the front line! Remote command will undoubtedly greatly deepen the possibility of war defeat in a modern war where every second counts!

"I see, young master!" (To be continued.) )
