Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 88 Northern Expedition (1)

Once he made up his mind, Wufeng didn't hesitate anymore. Wufeng has always had his own views on military matters. Apart from intentionally seeking Ling Tianfang's opinions, the Military Affairs Department immediately issued a series of military mobilizations. and transfer commands.

Wufeng has ordered the Financial Secretary of Xijiang to quickly allocate 30 million imperial gold coins as a temporary war fund to deal with the war machine that has started to operate. At the first time, twelve transport battalions directly under the Combat Readiness Division and stationed in several strategic locations were deployed to the First Army and the Fifth Army, and two thousand civilian transport vehicles were quickly recruited as a reserve force. The Army Corps and the Fifth Army Corps have also assembled and moved towards Tianshui and Anyuan.

The public opinion system is also fully activated. From the local newspapers in Xijiang to the imperial capital, the major media in the empire, and even the Wuhu region and the more distant Milan and Maqihan media are paying attention to the rumbling war in Xijiang Behemoth, as many as four legions of army troops have been or are gathering in the northern part of western Xinjiang, together with the three ranger regiments already active in the Terok area and the Terok National Defense Forces, those assembled on this land are under the control of Li Wufeng The military strength has broken the record and will reach more than 600,000, which is more than half of the armed forces controlled by Li Wufeng.

As the mouthpiece of the Western Border Protectorate and the mainstream media that represent the empire, they unabashedly expressed the view that war is inevitable. "Northwest Star", "Empire News" and "Daily Express" all opened up The Western Xinjiang War column is dedicated to reporting on the upcoming war. Reporters from major media outlets in the imperial capital have arrived in Hanzhong and Hejian Tianshui in order to obtain a wartime interview permit issued by the Department of Internal Affairs of the Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang. Only those who have obtained the permit In order to be able to enter the war zone to interview without being arrested as a spy.

Liang Chongxin stood with his arms folded on a high soil slope, watching the car rushing forward. Oolong. All the standard carriages can be disassembled to load more goods, and the carriages are built with soft leather seats to make a comfortable long-distance passenger car. Dark green is one of the two standard colors determined by the Combat Readiness Department. In the more northern areas, the transport vehicles are khaki.

Over the past few years, with the financial support of the financial department, the work of the Combat Readiness Department has been carried out a lot. Many facilities that were unable to be equipped and improved due to limited financial resources have gradually been put in place, especially as the area under the control of the Xijiang Dadu Protectorate has emerged. The trend of substantial expansion and the large-scale construction and renovation plan of the road system in western Xinjiang have been pushed forward. It is the general trend for the army to improve its mobility. Most likely, except for the slightly more transport vehicles of the Third Army, the maneuverability of the other seven armies has become a thorn in the heart of the Western Xinjiang military.

At this time, Rao, who was the director of the Combat Readiness Department, proposed a plan to establish a transport battalion directly under the Combat Readiness Department. According to this plan, in addition to maintaining the existing necessary transport vehicles of each legion, each legion will not purchase additional transport vehicles in principle. , and the Combat Readiness Division has set up 24 transport battalions directly under it, with 600 transport vehicles in each battalion, and deployed them at several strategic points. In this way, if a certain army needs to be mobilized urgently, the transport battalion deployed nearby will take over After receiving the order, they can arrive at the nearest place quickly, accept and complete the task, which can not only effectively save transportation resources, but also prevent the army from spending a lot of energy in managing this batch of logistics transportation troops, and the professional transportation management personnel of the Combat Readiness Department can also provide transportation vehicles and Livestock can be well maintained and fed, and another advantage is that due to the vastness of the western border, the transportation of livestock in various regions will be prevented from affecting military aircraft due to unsuitable weather or overworked livestock. If the transportation route is too long, the Combat Readiness Department can advance Reasonably adjust the transportation battalion deployed near the line to adopt relay transportation, which can greatly improve the transportation efficiency without being affected by geographical reasons.

This plan was highly praised by Wufeng Xiaotang and the military generals. Ling Tianfang even said that this is an important pioneering work in the reform of the military logistics system in Western Xinjiang. Similarly, the Department of Combat Preparedness also took great pains in the selection of livestock for transport. In Xiyu County in Northwest County and East Tengger County, healthy horses are mainly used, while in Kansai and Northern Luzon, there are half of healthy horses and half of mules adapted to the southern region. , while in Tiannan and Burma in the south, as well as the newly incorporated Zhongnan County and Nanhai Autonomous Dominion, mules and donkeys with good endurance and good mountain walking are mainly used. Such a configuration can effectively avoid the impact of climate and geography on transportation. Thorough and meticulous.

A sound of heavy footsteps came from behind, awakening Liang Chongxin who was silently admiring the spectacular scene. It had been a long time since he felt the breath of war so closely. The feeling of lurking outside Yangcheng and preparing to attack the Luobei people's granary.

Although the First Army had just been rotated from the Sanjiang front line, in fact Liang Chongxin never really took the Sanjiang battle seriously. Their defense was further strengthened, but they also lost the desire and vigor to launch an attack. Small-scale encounters may be a training for newly-built legions like the Sixth Army that have not experienced the baptism of war, but for experienced For the Hundred Battles First Army Corps, it seems a bit uninteresting. Of course, this is just the opinion of Liang Chongxin and Long Zizuo, several senior military officers of the Army Corps, but they dare not reveal it in front of Wufeng. It must have been an unexpected surprise for Liang Chongxin. Liang Chongxin and Long Zizi secretly thanked the Kamanians for providing such an opportunity for the First Legion.

"Boss Liang, the people from the Combat Preparedness Department have come to contact us. We will change trains after passing through Hanzhong Mansion. They have already prepared everything." Due to the special status of the First Legion, the position of the Deputy Chief of the First Legion is actually no lower than that of the other legions. As the chief of the Legion, Liang Chongxin often needs to serve The commander of a war zone, and the responsibilities of the commander of the First Legion are often assumed by the deputy commander.

"Well, it seems that the combat preparation department's application system for combat is quite effective. We travel day and night, and we haven't arrived in Hanzhong yet, and we're already preparing for relay transportation here." Liang Chongxin nodded with great interest, "Rao said The kid is indeed good at logistics management, and His Highness is worthy of his trust."

"Hmph, if an Indian immigrant can get such a favor from His Highness, if he doesn't want to repay him, then he really doesn't know how to flatter him." Long Zizi is not the only one who has this kind of opinion in Xijiang For these immigrants who have not moved in for a long time, many officials and generals of the Tang clan already have a sense of rejection. I am a big Tangist, but I still don't like having a foreigner in such an important position as the director of the combat readiness department, which makes Liang Chongxin often use Ling Tianfang's example to enlighten and educate Long Zizi.

"Zi Zi, why do you still have this kind of thinking now? Be careful, His Highness will teach you again after hearing it. To be honest, no one can do as well as him in the position of Rao. Although he is an Indian An immigrant, but if we can pass the test of that guy Diao Su, I think we should have nothing to say, not to mention that our western Xinjiang was originally established by the hard work of immigrants. Without these immigrants from all over the world, where would we be? Is there today’s Xijiang? If you can understand this point, I think you can accept this reality with peace of mind.” Liang Chongxin frowned, and reminded the other party lightly: “You are now the deputy commander of our first army. ~IndoMTL.com~ You should look at the problem from a higher perspective. The soldiers of our First Legion are immigrants from all over the world. They all have a sincere heart to serve Xijiang. If you still have this kind of thinking , you will never be able to become a qualified legion commander!"

Facing Liang Chongxin's seemingly light and serious words, Long Zizi's heart trembled, he clasped his fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "The commander of the legion is right to criticize, and he has been taught by himself."

Seeing that although Long Zizi may not be able to accept his own point of view immediately, but at least the other party can realize his different identities now, and can correctly understand the possible consequences of this problem, Liang Chongxin's face became amiable: "Zizi, you I’m an old brother now, you don’t know what His Royal Highness is thinking, he’s not just holding an empire in his chest now, many people think that His Highness’s ultimate goal is to seize the empire, I also had this idea at the beginning, but since His Highness ignored All the efforts to seize the sea outlets of the Indochina Peninsula and vigorously develop the navy, I knew we all underestimated His Highness."

Seeing the opponent's whole body trembling, Liang Chongxin knew that his words had touched the other person, so he said to himself: "Your Highness wants to achieve a great cause that will last forever, and it is a lifetime blessing for us to be able to follow the tail. But to achieve Great cause, this national issue is a first-class major issue. To put it bluntly, our military exploits are enough to honor our ancestors, but if we want to go further and occupy a higher position, we must have the necessary skills. political sensitivity.”

Seeing the enlightened expression in Long Zizi's eyes, Liang Chongxin also knew that smart people don't need to say much, so he changed the subject: "I won't say much about the rest, just settle down on your own. What do you think of the battle that both us and the Fifth Army went north?"
