Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 32 Serial Killing (5)

It should be said that Lagu's vision has touched the hearts of some congressmen present to a considerable extent. After all, Xijiang has been conquering and pioneering in the south of the Eastern Continent in the past two years, from Tiannan to Burma, from Burma to the peninsula The region has extended its sphere of influence to the feet of the alliance step by step, and the pressure it brings can be imagined, especially for the parliamentarians from the duchies and city-states bordering on the peninsula to the east, this feeling is even more profound. A powerful regime is slowly standing up beside him, which really makes people feel uncomfortable. If it is really as beautiful as Farragut's idea to solve the problem once and for all, I believe that every member of parliament will agree to send troops with a vote, but is this the case?

"General Farragut, I think you may be taking things for granted. First of all, you are neither the commander-in-chief of the armed forces nor the commander-in-chief of the army. Simple. According to what you said, we only need to go through the motions to reap the fruits of victory. If this is the case, of course everyone is happy, but is there such a good thing in the world? You seem to be insulting Maqihan Doubts about people’s intelligence, Bi Xili and Lei Juetian have so much goodwill and affection for our Nanyang Alliance? I’m afraid it’s not likely.” It’s still the eccentric Metz MP, who unceremoniously wants to expose the commander-in-chief of the navy Blowing into soap bubbles for a group of councilors, "If the Macchihans are really that strong, Lygon should have been in their hands long ago, and their army will not stop at Sambo. They invited us What is the purpose of sending troops? Could it be that we are really invited to participate in their carve-up feast? Oh, then the Machi Khans have really become great benevolent people. In my personal opinion, our sending troops this time is too risky, and it is very likely that the gains outweigh the losses. "

As a senior member of the Military Committee, Metz's opinions are still quite influential in the Alliance Parliament. Some members who have a deep understanding of the current situation mostly agree with Metz's views, but Farragut's statement still has considerable temptation After all, the threat of Western Xinjiang can be eradicated. If this opportunity is missed this time, I am afraid that it will never happen again.

"Member Metz, although the Machi Khans have encountered some setbacks in Lygon, it is enough to show that they have the ability to finally win this battle just because they were able to bypass Lygon and occupy the Three Treasures. Sooner or later, once Lygon is captured, there will be no troops stationed in Xixijiang, and it will be easy to take over the entire peninsula. If our alliance army joins, I believe that this battle will end faster, and it can also serve Our alliance has won more benefits, especially the recovery of the Mawen Islands and the acquisition of the three major ports in the peninsula. The Machihans have made it clear that they will not make any sovereignty claims to the three major port cities. They only hope to obtain a commodity free port. The right to access, as long as we send troops, all the rights and interests of Sanbao, Moro, and Eastern Samoa will belong to the alliance. At that time, whether these three city-states join our alliance as equals or belong to our alliance as vassals will be determined. Leave it to our Alliance Council to dominate."

Farragut also knows that it is far easier to use the righteousness of the situation to persuade these businessmen and parliamentarians than to use interests to lure these businessmen and congressmen. It's so tempting. If these three cities are turned into vassals of the alliance, almost everyone can get a share of the pie here, and whether the spoon can be enjoyed is not a question that Farragut considers, Farah This bait thrown by Koo is hard for some greedy MPs to refuse.

"General Deaton, as the commander-in-chief of our alliance, what do you think?" After coughing lightly, the calm speaker Colter finally interjected, although he couldn't tell from his expression Any inclination, but since the opinion of the commander-in-chief of the army is asked, it is enough to show that Speaker Coulter has become interested in the topic of Farragut. The Commander-in-Chief of the Alliance Armed Forces is concurrently held by the Speaker, but for a major event involving the interests of the entire Alliance, such as sending troops to war, it must first obtain the approval of the Parliamentary Military Committee before making a formal proposal to the Parliamentary Assembly, and then submit it to the Speaker for approval after being voted by the Parliamentary Assembly. Substantive operations can only be entered into after an order is issued, so although this system has been greatly reflected in the degree of democracy, its efficiency has inevitably been greatly affected, and many members of the assembly council do not understand For political and military issues, most of them need to listen to the opinions of military professionals from the army and navy, as well as members of the military committee.

In fact, Didon was not at all unmoved by Farragut's proposal. After all, being able to eradicate the threat of Western Xinjiang is also the most hopeful thing for the Army. Farragut’s war is somewhat different from Farragut’s pure fanaticism. He not only analyzed the early battle situation between Xijiang and the Maqihans, but also analyzed and predicted the prospects of the Tanghe Empire’s civil war. The overall strength of the war among the Khans was compared, and the final conclusion was that although Xijiang is currently at a disadvantage in this battle, if this war continues, the final victory will belong to the Xijiang people, and the Nanyang Alliance Even if you join the Maqihan side, you may be able to gain some benefits in a short period of time, but if the Machihans cannot completely control the northern part of the peninsula, then these so-called attractive benefits are like usury, and sooner or later they will be taken by the people of Xijiang. Recover or even pay much heavier interest than the original, as evidenced by the last war.

"Sir, on behalf of the army, I express my opposition to sending troops. The reason is very simple, as I have just said, we believe that the Maqihan people do not have the strength to completely occupy the peninsula, especially Lygon and Kutdan It is still in the hands of the Xijiang people, which makes our army have to doubt whether the Maqihans have the strength to win this battle. Completely controlling the northern part of the peninsula prevents the Xijiang people from going south. If the Maqihans can’t do this, what can we do even if we temporarily occupy the three port cities? In addition to attracting more violent revenge from the Xijiang people , I don’t see any benefit. My personal opinion is that General Farragut’s proposal will lead the alliance to destruction.”

The expressionless Didon never even glanced at the blushing Admiral of the Navy out of the corner of his eye, and explained his views on his own. His attitude was so clear that it was not beyond the expectations of the congressmen. Firstly, the relationship between the army and the navy is not good. The personal conflict between General Didon and General Farragut is also incompatible. Now the Xijiang people have only invested in the regular army of two army corps for defense. In this situation, it is hard to believe that the Maqihan people can succeed.

After pondering for a while, he did not answer. Colter was scarred by the opinion of the commander-in-chief of the army. The scar from the last time is still there. If he acts rashly again, he may even shake his position as the speaker, but he also knows that he supports Farah. There are also quite a few MPs with ancient views, especially the MPs from the coastal states and city-states. If they express no opinion at all, it may arouse their dissatisfaction.

"General Ditton, do you mean that no matter how many troops our alliance invests in joining the Machihans, it will not be able to ensure victory in this battle?" In the end, Colt decided to make the topic clearer. If you still can't achieve your goal, then you can't blame yourself.

Of course, the commander-in-chief of the army heard the inclination of the speaker's attitude. He hesitated, but after thinking about it, this matter is no small matter. If he doesn't express his views truthfully, if he fails, he may even be hanged He didn't want to be the first army commander to be hanged for that.

"Sir, please forgive me for not being able to answer this question with absolute affirmative or negative remarks, uh, if the alliance can mobilize 350,000 to 400,000 troops to join the war ~IndoMTL.com~ I think maybe we can help the Maqi The Khan people will get through this difficult time."

Although the commander-in-chief of the army responded very reluctantly, and the mobilization of 350,000 troops is almost impossible for the alliance, but Colt couldn't control that much, and the other party finally did not directly deny it. The possibility of sending troops out made Colter very gratified. He could also explain to those southern congressmen who strongly advocated sending troops. As for whether he could pass the military committee and the parliamentary assembly, it was not his responsibility and obliged.

"Everyone, just now, all members of parliament have heard the views and opinions of the commander-in-chief of our navy and army, as well as some members of parliament, on whether to accept the invitation of the Machihans to send troops to the peninsula. Regarding the life and death of our alliance, I propose that today and tomorrow, members of parliament can deliberate and discuss this matter, and also solicit the views of some relevant people on this issue. The day after tomorrow, we will ask the military committee to discuss and decide on this matter first. If the military committee discusses and approves the proposal to send troops, we will proceed to the parliamentary assembly to vote to make the final decision.”

The gavel slammed on the rostrum, and the crisp knocking sound made the parliament hall suddenly quiet, "Okay, today's meeting discussion is over. Members and gentlemen can discuss whether to Carefully consider the matter of dispatching troops, and hope that the meeting the day after tomorrow can make a wise decision for the future of our alliance. Dismiss the meeting!"
