Chapter 195: Bear Slaughter! Surrounded by Thousands of Miles! One
Chapter 195: Slaughter the bear! Surrounded by thousands of miles! (1)
Semipalatinsk, Northwestern Front Army Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief's Living Room.
Liang Tianhe was still staring at the thick telegram manuscript in his hand. He never imagined that such a major change would occur in the imperial capital overnight.
"...The cabinet resolution was issued with the imperial seal: Marshal Liu Bailiang, Chief of General Staff, and former General Zhang Yao, Chief of Army Staff and Director of Education, are temporarily relieved of their respective duties and ordered to stay at home for self-reflection. The supreme military command authority of the Army and Navy is temporarily returned to His Majesty the Emperor...
"
The cabinet, with the emperor's seal, has the power to remove the heads of the military orders of the army and navy. According to the constitution, the emperor originally has the highest command power of the imperial army and navy, but only authorizes the prime minister to act on his behalf in peacetime. The prime minister also delegates this power to specialized personnel in accordance with the departmental organizational law.
Military order organs - the General Staff and the Army and Navy Staff. Although the Constitution does not explicitly stipulate whether the emperor can withdraw the highest military order power granted to the Prime Minister, at this time Congress has transferred most of the legislative power to the war cabinet. As long as the war cabinet
Through the cabinet discussion, from a legal perspective, all this will not be a problem.
But in Liang Tianhe's view, this is undoubtedly a coup!
In the name of "preventing radical activities" and "military exercises", the imperial capital was under martial law. In the name of "lax supervision of the army" and "bending the law for personal gain", Liu and Zhang, the two most active members of the army, were placed under house arrest. At the same time, they seized military power in one fell swoop.
That woman... I really underestimated her before!
The message did not mention changes in cabinet personnel, which seems to mean that no matter what the purpose, the Civil Service Group and the two giants Yang and Hu chose to cooperate with the Queen, and Liu Bailiang has been abandoned by the mainstream of the group...
"General Gu Yingyang, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Front Army, has been relieved of his duties and ordered to come to Beijing to see your majesty immediately..."
Gu Yingyang... Sure enough, he also joined. He had long advised Bailiang not to push people too hard. Now it's better. He will make enemies on all sides. When the opportunity comes, those who have vengeance will seek revenge, and those who have grievances will hold on to grievances. The wall will fall.
Everyone thinks, is there any way to save this?
"The commander of the Imperial Guard, General Zhang Yiye, was removed from his post and promoted to field marshal, and appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Front..."
It's not surprising that Zhang Yiye surrendered. He is always a master of the situation. He should be satisfied if he sees the general trend and gives him a little sweetness and a chance.
"General Xiao Lieri, commander of the Zhili Military Region and director of the Army Reserve, is relieved of his concurrent duties and appointed as the military and political commander of Eastern Siberia..."
Xiao Lieri also surrendered, which was nothing. The situation was over. How much trouble could he cause by himself? Besides, he was already grateful to the royal family. If he really wanted to attack the queen, he would definitely not go there in person. Let him go back and defend.
Guarding the railway and surviving half of Siberia was a good arrangement.
Liang Tianhe put down the heavy message in his hand and sighed. Then he smiled bitterly.
The relationship between Liang Tianhe, Liu Bailiang, and Zhang Yao is well known to the world. Now that the two eldest brothers Liu and Zhang have been captured, the two younger brothers Zhang and Xiao have surrendered. What should he do as the third ranked brother?
Obviously, he had no choice.
Raising troops? A delusion! No name, no political power, located in the northwest, with few people and lack of pay, and the main force is deep in the Russian border, and is engaged in a fierce battle with the elite of the E Army. There are really no troops to move!
Defection? Not to mention that the heads of the three traitors soaked in formalin that Liu Yun showed to everyone before his death are still vivid in his mind. Liang Tianhe's own high self-esteem cannot tolerate such sinful thoughts.
!
Take this as a warning and resign? Bullshit! I, Liang Tianhe, single-handedly created the current Northwest Army. I must not abandon my soldiers at such a critical moment and go back to being a tortoise with eggs in it! I
I will lead my Northwest Army to fight from beginning to end, from Lake Balkhash to the Atlantic Ocean!
"General Liang Tianhe, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Front Army, has commanded well and defeated the enemy. He is specially promoted to field marshal. He will stay in his post and hope that he will work hard and encourage him to sing a victory song again..."
Reciting the message silently in his mind again, Liang Tianhe looked up to the sky and smiled: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I can't help but refuse to accept it. I'm ashamed—ashamed, guilty—guilty."
"What's the crime, Commander?"
The person who should speak at the door was Liang Tianhe's chief of staff, General Yan Canglong.
Liang Tianhe did not shy away from it, pointing to the message on the table: "Old Yan, you are here, come and take a look at this."
Yan Canglong took it and took a look, and was shocked: "This is..."
Liang Tianhe waved his hand: "Don't worry, you can read it slowly."
Yan Canglong read it in a hurry, put down the message with a gloomy expression, and found a chair to sit down casually.
"The emperor's move seems to be a helpless one - what do you think, Commander-in-Chief?"
Liang Tianhe lit up a cigarette, lowered his head and said: "Over the years, the emperor has always been more gentle and kind than powerful. He always obeys the five elders in everything. It is rare for him to have the opportunity to show his own opinion. I think someone must have seen the tiger not showing its power and really gave it to him.
The sick cat..."
"According to the message, the Emperor is quite benevolent and righteous to the two Marquises Ningdong and Ningxi. He also has the intention to forgive you and the Marquises Wu Jian and Pingjian in order to appease Ji Wei."
The Marquis of Ningdong is Liu Bailiang, the Marquis of Ningxi is Zhang Yaoqian, the Marquis of Wu Jian is Zhang Yiye, the Marquis of Pingjian is Xiao Lieri, and Liang Tianhe is the Marquis of Ningbei - except for Xiao Lieri who was recently rewarded for his merits, everyone else is
When the late emperor founded the country, he granted land titles, which has not changed in the past ten years.
Liang Tianhe raised the cigarette and said with a smile: "Yes, bygones are bygones, but I really didn't do anything, so why should I be held accountable? Zhang Yiye and Xiao Lieri must be the same as me, 'There is nothing in the first place, so where can I stir up dust?'"
"
"Yes, the emperor should have seen clearly that all the measures were taken to calm things down and avoid further troubles... Actually, I originally thought that the heroine was useless, just to dress up and pave the way for the current crown prince. Now that I look at it, it is
You know I am also guilty." Yan Canglong took off his military cap, scratched his head and said with a smile.
Liang Tianhe flicked the cigarette ashes, narrowed his eyes and said: "The late emperor's vision is different from ordinary people - but even if I are really implicated, and I have to be arrested and brought to Beijing for questioning, I have to wait until I finish the current battle.
Okay, otherwise, don’t blame me, Lao Liang, for not knowing what is good and what is good!”
Yan Canglong smiled and shook his head, flexing his fingers to demonstrate, "Nowadays, the war in the northwest is tense, and it is impossible for the emperor not to take it to heart. The northwest army was forged by the chief himself. Unless the chief personally leads it, it cannot work together as one, and the linkage is like a finger and an arm - neither does the emperor."
Maybe you don’t know. If the emperor wants the Northwest Army to win and fight smoothly, he must retain the commander. The commander must be relieved. "
Liang Tianhe took a long puff of smoke and put out the cigarette butt in his hand: "Thank you for your good wishes - what news was there just now?"
"The fighting is going on in full swing. On the lower reaches of the Irtysh River, the enemy's 53rd Army is simultaneously attacking the line from Great Vladimir to Dolon on the north bank and Dichagan on the south bank. I have followed yesterday's arrangement to move towards Great Vladimir and Dolon.
Dolon each reinforced a regiment, and went to Chagan to reinforce a brigade. An anti-tank battalion was also placed on the north and south banks. The two newly arrived Guards tank battalions were gathered around the ford of the fortress and were on standby in the center. "
Liang Tianhe nodded with relief, got up and went to pour tea for Yan Canglong.
"Well, hold on no matter what - where is Acheng?"
"The enemy in Acheng started shelling before dawn. After dawn, they concentrated their assault from the north of the city. The attack must have been fierce. Xiao Bin reported that they had been forced to use special smoke grenades to repel the intruding enemy troops."
Liang Tianhe poured two cups of tea in one gulp, pushed one cup in front of Yan Canglong, held one cup to his mouth and blew on it: "The poison gas has been used, it seems a bit dangerous. Did the airlift last night go well?"
"Yes, Fang Yongyang said that he went to 5 airships last night and dropped a little more than a hundred tons. He plans to go to 6 airships tonight, plus planes, to drop 160 tons. However, Xiao Bin reported that the supplies received were at least
Thirty percent of them fell apart and broke. We need the Air Force to improve them. If it can't be corrected at once, we must focus on ensuring that the special smoke bombs cannot be dropped randomly. "
"Xiao Bin really knows how to speak. As expected, he was taught by me - just pass the original words to Fang Yongyang."
Liang Tianhe sipped the tea, tested the heat, drank half the cup in one breath, then put down the teacup and asked, "How is Lu Kaiping doing over there?"
"I just received a report that the two vanguard units of the Second Equipment Group have exchanged fire with the enemy in the south of Acheng. The incoming detachment in Acheng has also started to move. Both sides are facing the gap, and they are all in a hurry - Lu Kaiping
I also made a guarantee that the passage will be opened before dusk and that the detachment will be transferred to the detachment before dawn tomorrow." Yan Canglong took some time off and picked up some tea to moisten his mouth.
Liang Tianhe put his hands behind his back and thought for a while, stroking the table and sat down: "Qian Lan's troops in Lucheng can't be idle. Send him a report, urging him to hurry up and repair the fortifications, and remind him not to just think about counterattack.
Buzovsk is Brusilov’s real cemetery!”
"yes--"
Yan Canglong nodded, glanced at the telegram on the table again, and hesitated: "Sir, this telegram... shouldn't be passed on for the time being, right?"
Liang Tianhe pressed the corner of the table and shook his head slightly: "No, let's convey it as usual, but we need to attach something."
"What?"
"I don't know either... you write it." Liang Tianhe winked slyly.
Yan Canglong couldn't laugh or cry, screaming in his heart that he was wronged.
