Chapter 151 To prevent the slightest change, the alliance establishes new rules!
Grant, the former Union commander, became independent, which was definitely an unprecedented crisis for the Union.
There are three dangers.
One, of course, is to shake the morale of the military.
A coalition commander, after losing the war and being dismissed from his post, simply launched a mutiny. This would be disastrous for any organization or army.
The military morale is shaken and internal turmoil is certain.
However, Chang'an's counterattack is just around the corner, so it would be strange if the alliance lords don't get angry.
Second, disrupt the Alliance's deployment in the Valley Province.
The original plan of the alliance was to form an arc-shaped defense chain from Pelican County, Choctaw County, Palm County and Kana County to block Chang'an's external expansion as much as possible.
Now that Pelican County is occupied by Grant, there is a huge hole in the defense chain.
The above two points are not the most cruel. The most cruel thing is that Grant's mutiny caused the Union Army to lose the foundation of its existence and shook the foundation of trust between the Union generals and the Union lords.
Today Grant stands on his own initiative, but tomorrow the current Union commander Douglas will not follow his example?
Even if Douglas could control himself, could he control his generals? Any corps commander could pull away hundreds of thousands of troops and learn from Grant to stand on his own feet.
The alliance was planning to raise 500,000 troops to reinforce the front line, but now everyone was dumbfounded.
Worried about whether meat buns will hit dogs?
Not only the coalition forces, but also the lords of Ika, Bute and Tara provinces who are preparing to form a provincial coalition are also trembling at this moment.
Can the provincial coalition forces they formed ensure their loyalty?
Don't just usurp the throne!
"If you want to stabilize the morale of the military, the most important thing to do right now is to punish Grant severely and kill him as a warning to others!"
"That's right!"
"Grant's rebellion must be completely suppressed and no chance will be given to those who come after him to follow suit."
"How to punish severely?"
"Of course we will send troops to suppress it."
"Then what if the troops sent collude with Grant?"
"Well…"
The lord who was clamoring just now became silent in an instant.
To put it bluntly, the biggest weakness of the alliance now is that there are no indigenous generals as "backup". If the various coalition forces want to operate, they all rely on the player generals to maintain it.
If there is a problem with the player general, then there will be a problem with the entire coalition.
No solution at all!
Can the alliance make amends and replace player generals with indigenous generals?
It's hard!
Not to mention B-level generals, even C-level generals are very difficult to obtain. At least they require gold treasure chests, or even higher-level platinum treasure chests.
Except for a few European emperors, few lords can obtain it.
And with the size of the coalition, even adding a few new C-level generals will not help. The bulk of it still has to rely on the player generals to maintain it.
Let alone an alliance.
Even in Chang'an, where famous generals gather, there is always a shortage of generals, and players need to fill their positions with generals.
Complete replacement is impossible.
"I think there is still some room for maneuver on Grant."
At the critical moment, it was Gale, the lord of Xihai County, who stood up again: "After Grant launched the mutiny at the base camp, he did not encircle and suppress the 10,000 troops who did not agree to launch the mutiny, nor did he injure the life of staff officer Mike."
"This at least proves that Grant has room for action and does not want to completely break with the alliance."
"Of course he wouldn't dare to break up."
A lord sneered, "Do you really think that the alliance is so determined that it can't wipe out his rebel army?!"
"What I mean is that the alliance can try to contact Grant. As long as Grant admits that he is still a member of the alliance and is willing to assume the defense responsibility of Pelican County, he can still be a united object."
Compared to ordinary lords, Gale is obviously more pragmatic.
"I don't think it's appropriate."
Immediately, some lords stood up and objected: "Tacitly allowing Grant to become independent is not only condoning Grant, but also condoning all players and generals. It will definitely lead to endless troubles."
"That's right, with Grant's example, wouldn't other players and generals follow suit?"
"How will we fight future battles?"
"The problem now is that Grant has established a foothold in Pelican County. The fact is that the alliance has nothing to do with him for the time being. So in this case, should we choose to be gentle or just rely on rhetoric to attack and condemn him?"
Gayle is also very angry.
"Where are you on Gale? Is there anything fishy about covering for Grant like this?"
The lords were also angered by Gael.
What do you mean by talking nonsense? Don’t tear down people even when they are in trouble, okay?!
"I think Grant's problem can be dealt with temporarily as Gale said. We should first stabilize Pelican County and stabilize the situation in the River Valley Province."
John, Bronn and other great lords also stood up in time to support Grant.
They are obviously very pragmatic.
"Rather than dealing with Grant, the most important thing now is how to solve the loyalty problem of the player generals. If this problem is not solved, the 500,000 coalition troops will be a time bomb at any time."
"And once the alliance fails to unite and face the outside world, Chang'an will turn into a tiger out of the cage."
"I think."
"No one wants to watch Changan become bigger and stronger, right?"
As soon as these words came out.
Even the most radical lord could not help but calm down.
Chang'an, which was plagued by scabies before, has become a serious problem for the alliance and a knife hanging over the heads of the alliance lords.
The dangers cannot be overemphasized.
"Can we start with the logistics of food and grass?"
John, the lord of Morgan County, was the first to propose a solution, "In a cold-weapon war, what matters is that the troops and horses are not moved, and the food and grass go first. In a war, the logistics are all about supplies."
"Before, the alliance would collect grain and grass at once and send them to the coalition garrison."
"In the future, the food and grass storage location can be placed behind the coalition forces, and the front line can only guarantee three to five days of food and grass supplies. In this case, if the front line really wants to mutiny, how will it feed the army?"
During Grant's mutiny, he transported all the massive amounts of food and grass stored in the base camp.
My mouth is full of oil after eating.
The existence of the mail delivery mechanism is destined to say that as long as the alliance is prepared and the food and grass stored in the rear are safe, it will be safe.
If the frontline mutiny troops really want to grab it, they can transfer the food and grass in advance.
Not a grain of rice was left for the rebels.
"Then what if the lord of the grain and grass hoarding point colludes with the frontline rebels?"
Some lords questioned it.
"Grant easily captured Pelican County. Without the cooperation of the local lords of Pelican County, I don't believe it. Isn't there news that the former lord of Pelican County has been appointed as the Sheriff of Pelican County by Grant?"
"This is a really good deal."
"Although controlling grain and grass logistics cannot be 100% eliminated, it is indeed one of the means to effectively check and balance the coalition generals. There is no need to be picky."
For those keyboard warriors who can only question and criticize, but cannot come up with practical solutions.
That's enough.
"To truly prevent frontline player generals from being disloyal, we must start from the root. From now on, we must clearly stipulate that all player generals at battalion level and above who serve in the coalition must first join a certain territory."
"When I say joining, I mean actually settling in, not applying for a residence permit." Gale suggested again.
This involves the relevant regulations of "Star Bound" regarding Folding City players settling in the wilderness territory.
Similar to reality.
There are two ways for players to "join" a certain territory. One is to receive a residence permit for up to one month. After the expiration, they can officially join the territory, or they can choose to leave.
It is equivalent to giving Folding City players an inspection period.
