Chapter 2 Yun Fei Yangxiu
"Everyone, the war has been going on for more than two years, but so far, the Allied armies do not have a complete command system. Therefore, what we need is a strategic plan that can formulate a strategic plan related to the entire war situation, and can coordinate various countries.
Military forces must act in unison on all battlefields. Only in this way can the strategic plan that General Xiafei just presented to you be successful."
When Douglas Haig finished explaining his point of view, General Joffre's heart, which was originally filled with satisfaction and elation, calmed down, but his brain became even more excited.
"Supreme Commander of the Allied Joint High Command!"
There is no doubt that this is an extremely attractive position, and for the generals of the British and French armies, which have the most abundant troops and resources among the Allied Powers, it is a position worth putting in efforts to implement.
At this time, Haig's speech had changed the direction of the discussion in the conference, but Xiafei, as the host of the conference, did not stop it and pulled the discussion direction of the conference back to the offensive aspect mentioned in his speech. Because he himself
In other words, he has greater aspirations for the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Powers.
He stroked his walrus-like mustache, that is, a thick and stiff mustache, and quietly glanced at Douglas Haig.
He, who had just caused representatives from various countries to discuss this matter, had no expression on his face and was just sipping his bitter tea.
"Do you also want this position? Huh! I don't think you can do it. It's okay for an officer like you to fight in a charge or something, but you can't be the commander-in-chief of the entire Allied army, because that will completely ruin your life in a short period of time.
All the strength of our Allied Powers..."
Although Joffre's desire for this position made him inclined to disparage Sir Douglas Haig, his evaluation also made sense.
(This book was first published at 17k) Buxiaosheng A Group: 35761481 In the current war, many battles are related to Haig, a thoroughgoing cavalry faction. He is not very interested in new weapons in the war.
He once said: "The machine gun is a superfluous weapon," and he held a similar view on the use of tanks. Nonetheless, it is worth pointing out that Haig did not refuse to use new weapons in this war.
This is also what Xiafei has wrong with him. He believes that a perfect general must be keenly aware of the new war machine and the huge driving force for changing the style of war. If he cannot recognize this, then he must not be able to become one.
A very good general.
Xiafei himself was born as a commander of the engineering army, and his familiarity with machinery made him somewhat enthusiastic about new weapons. Especially now that he is the leader of some shareholders of Mike Prince Company and has obtained frontline military command.
It is recognized by the majority of congressmen represented by the official and the city of Nancy.
"It's that boy who connected our interests together. Everyone united to me because of their interests. As for the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces..."
It is worth mentioning that before Sir Douglas Hague proposed this position, Joffre had no extravagant hopes for this position. After all, his crisis of confidence had only just begun to be resolved.
As mentioned earlier, due to the fighting among Paris politicians and the desire for decisive progress in the war, the parliamentarians' trust in the French commander-in-chief Joffre was in crisis.
Of course, Joffre was aware of the crisis, especially since France had always had a "tradition" of distrustful attacks on frontline generals. The reason was simple, because these generals had no way to consolidate their positions in Paris when they were fighting on the frontline.
But now the situation has completely changed. Not only the MPs in Nancy City have begun to support Xiafei, but the officers on the front line have also begun to make comments that are favorable to Xiafei. If we want to find out the reason, Xiafei knows it very well.
.
"It's all because of the appearance of that eagle-like guy!"
The huge interests of his Mike Prince Company have united the council members of Nancy City under two companies, one is Mike Prince Company, and the other is the latest company founded by Senator Cassel Merrin.
11. Merlin Military Products Company, they produce mainly floor space consumables related to French military equipment.
Including products in various fields such as medical treatment, food, clothing, etc. Especially the electric shock defibrillator recently invented by Mr. Cassel and approved by the French Scientific Association. The patent has now been registered and it will be equipped with the French army.
Field hospital on the front line.
And this company has also absorbed a large amount of capital from the residents of Nancy City, including the investment of a large number of congressmen. And these congressmen are now also leaning towards Xiafei because of their interests.
"This guy is really capable!"
This is Xiafei's evaluation of Tang Yunyang. Although it cannot be seen that Kaser's "invention" has anything to do with Tang Yunyang, their relationship is obvious.
The most beautiful and richest girl in Nancy City - Jane Meilin has been completely captured by Tang Yunyang. Everything seems so natural and harmonious.
It is the connections based on the above capital actions that allow Xiafei to have a closer relationship with politicians and frontline officers. It also allows Xiafei to have new ideas while maintaining a stable position. And this idea is just the right thing in front of him.
Sir Douglas Haig, who was sipping his cup of bitter tea thoughtfully, had just reminded him of the highest military position in the Allied Powers.
Blue and slightly fragrant cigar smoke spurted out from Xiafei's walrus-like beard. Through the smoke, you could see the happy look in Xiafei's eyes. It was guessed that it was probably because of his feelings for the soldier he longed for.
I already have a rough idea.
"Everyone!"
Xiafei once again blew out a big puff of smoke and bowed. This time he wanted to come up with some more proof of the reliability of his attack plan and strengthen the determination of these friends to attack. In addition, this is what he has done for the company and his
Great opportunity for MP partners to serve.
"I suggest that we can do it temporarily. After all, the meeting schedule these days is quite tight, and the gentlemen must be a little tired. Tomorrow, we will hold a small military exercise outside the city for everyone to visit. I need to remind you here.
, this exercise is top secret, for the ultimate victory of our Allied Powers, you must keep this secret as long as possible."
Joffre's temporary adjournment surprised Douglas Haig. This tough-tempered guy was not dissatisfied with the fact that he had just disturbed the agenda, but why did he propose this puzzling adjournment?
"Does he already have a way to obtain the highest military position in the Allied Powers?"
Xiafei stood up proudly, his entire figure shrouded in a large cloud of smoke.
