Gao Hong on the side said sternly: "Marshal, the morale of the military is unstable because these officers are deducting military pay. Only by executing them all can it be restored. Since these people dare to embezzle military pay, they should be aware of being caught, so these people must
Shoot him to serve as a warning to others."
Marshal Kaolan said with a bitter face: "But these people are the nobles of our country, and the strength behind them is not small." Seeing that Kaolan's plea failed, he could only tell the truth, hoping that the two would consider the political situation at this time.
influence, you can have some scruples about this matter.
Seeing that Marshal Kaolan had no choice but to tell the truth, Chen Fei on the side raised his mouth slightly. He probably used the other person's words to smooth things over and said: "In this case, we can't make things difficult for the Marshal, so let's be accommodating."
Gao Hong and Chen Fei looked at each other, and both of them saw the smile in each other's eyes. Gao Hong cleared his throat, nodded reluctantly and said: "In this case, we will give the marshal a face and pursue these people.
He will repay the embezzled money and then be stripped of his military rank and imprisoned for two years." Marshal Kaolan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that these people did not need to be killed and that his responsibilities were less.
Seeing Marshal Kaolan walk out of the Guards headquarters with relief, Gao Hong and Chen Fei looked at each other and smiled. One of them played the bad guy and the other played the red face, and the effect was obvious. In fact, they had no intention of killing these officers from the beginning.
What they want is to gain military power, not to offend the local nobles of the St. Martin Empire. After all, strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes. Even though the Chinese leader is strong, they cannot offend all these local snakes. That will not do any good to the Chinese leader.
Under the instructions of Gao Hong and Chen Fei, the military police of the Chinese leader held a public trial attended by all soldiers. The soldiers felt that the public trial was quite new, which they had never seen before. What surprised the soldiers even more was that
, At the public trial, the corrupt officers were interrogated one by one. All the corrupt officers were greeted by Marshal Kaolan. They did not do anything extreme, but directly bowed their heads and confessed and handed over the corrupt officers.
money.
These people were subsequently punished by the gendarmerie with the punishment of being stripped of their military positions and imprisoned for two years. However, Gao Hong and Chen Fei comforted these officers with good words and told them that this was a last resort measure to restore the morale of the army and that they would receive the best preferential treatment.
They will never be allowed to suffer.
These officers are the second-generation officers who came here to get gold. They were originally very relaxed, but due to the turmoil of the current situation, they were tortured by the life of guarding the border and were miserable.
Recently, they have been constantly worried about being killed on the battlefield, and they have long been tired of this kind of life. Now they still retain their military status, and they have good food and drink all day long without having to worry about it. This makes them very satisfied.
The two armies of the St. Martin Empire lost almost all their commanders, and the troops were in disarray. However, Gao and Chen had already planned. They immediately announced that the Chinese Guards would send instructors to conduct a one-day training against the soldiers of the St. Martin Empire.
A month-long training camp will be held, followed by a military competition.
Using the remaining power of punishing a large number of officers, Gao and Chen announced the rankings of the great competition, and then appointed officers at all levels according to their rankings. With their previous thunderous methods, they recovered military pay for all officers and soldiers. Everyone was very interested in these two Chinese leaders.
The senior officials were very convinced.
When they heard that they had the possibility of becoming officers, these soldiers were all excited. Although the instructors were very strict, they still volunteered to cooperate with the training very enthusiastically. In just one month, the combat effectiveness of the entire Saint Martin Empire's army increased by one
grade.
In the following competition, all the soldiers worked hard. After the company-level preliminaries and brigade-level semi-finals, the finals also ended with a battle between you and me.
In the end, the two soldiers who ranked first and second according to points rose to the top and became the new commanders of the two armies. The other soldiers with the highest rankings were also appointed as officers at all levels.
These soldiers are all from the army and do not have a condescending attitude toward lower-level soldiers, so they can easily win the support of lower-level soldiers. What's more, these soldiers are from poor backgrounds and are incompatible with the nobles, which makes them closer to China.
collar.
After these soldiers were appointed, Gao Hong announced that the Saint Martin Empire Army would begin to implement military independence according to the military model of the Chinese Army to prevent officers at all levels from embezzling military pay. However, after the last lesson, I believe no one will do it again.
Do anything that violates military discipline.
The soldiers are well-trained, their morale is high, the officers and soldiers are on the same page, and the top and bottom are harmonious. In just over a month, although the noble officers were imprisoned and were sidelined, Marshal Caolan still had to admit that the combat effectiveness of this army has improved.
After all, they can now be regarded as the iron army in the New World. Although there is still a certain gap between their combat effectiveness and that of the Chinese Guards, they are already much stronger than the Bostonians opposite them.
Gao Hong and the two men had selfish motives in letting those soldiers become senior officers, or even army commanders.
Although these people had excellent academic performance, they had no experience as officers and were unable to command a large army. Therefore, they used this opportunity to incorporate some of their own staff into the Saint Martin Army.
These staff officers are college graduates from various major army academies in the Chinese Army. They have very strong professional skills. With the assistance of these professionals, new and inexperienced officers will inevitably rely on these staff officers. This will allow the Chinese Army staff to gradually control the army.
Purpose.
Anyway, these Saint Martin troops only need to be left to their own command, and there is no need for them to have the ability to fight independently. With enough soldiers, Gao Hong and Chen Fei began to divide the work.
Chen Fei's Second Division and the Second Army of the Saint Martin Empire continued to guard the border area to guard against possible intervention by the Bostonians. Gao Hong led the First Division and the Third Army to begin sweeping the northern part of the Saint Martin Empire and Qiu Yu'an in the central part of the Saint Martin Empire.
Troops formed in response, threatening the rebel defenses from the flanks.
With the revelation of this recruitment, wherever Gao Hong's troops went, they recruited the troops of the Saint Martin Empire. As for the rebels, they had not been trained at all. They were just armed mobs at best. Now with the appeasement policy of the Chinese leader, these
People are easy to pacify, so the captured rebels will have their leaders detained, while the soldiers will be disarmed and then dispersed.
The Chinese leading army used gentle methods to restore peace to the place without causing much killing. Together with the officials and police teams of the Chinese leading army, as well as the newly formed Saint Martin People's Association soldiers trained by the Chinese armed police, they followed behind, and several
Within a month, the Chinese leader had controlled nearly half of the territory of the Saint Martin Empire.
The uprising rebels were compressed into a relatively small area between the Amazon River and the capital city of Santa Maria. Although their troops had an advantage, their combat effectiveness was not strong, and the two sides began to present a stalemate.
St. Martin's country has gained temporary stability, but everyone knows that both sides are accumulating strength and are ready to conduct a decisive battle at any time, hoping to complete their success in one battle and completely destroy the other side.
In February 896, thick snow had accumulated at Fang Xiaoyu's residence. This was the coldest period of the year, and in the Saint Martin Empire in the southern hemisphere, summer had just begun.
After several months of preparation, the rebels first launched an attack. Since most of the government troops of the Saint Martin Empire were summoned to the capital to participate in the defense, the southwestern region of the empire controlled by the government was very weakly defended, so it was under attack by the rebels.
, various places were occupied one after another, and the rebel territory expanded rapidly again.
On April 3, the rebels concentrated most of their forces and captured the port city of Rio in the southwest of the empire. Rio port was one of the home ports of the imperial fleet. The home port was occupied, and Marshal Dinante was forced to bring the fleet and
A large number of cargo ships loaded with supplies set sail and headed towards the areas controlled by the Chinese government.
On the pier of Harvar Port, Qiu Yu'an was standing here, blowing the sea breeze. The sea breeze blew his strong body, and his handsome Chinese Army Lieutenant General's uniform was fluttering.
An adjutant came forward and said to Qiu Yu'an: "General, we have been waiting for half an hour. Let's go indoors to take shelter from the wind."
Qiu Yu'an waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm not that fragile yet, just wait."
At this time, an officer with good eyesight said: "Here they come, General and the others are coming."
Qiu Yu'an raised the telescope and saw a dense black cloud where the sky and water met. This was the black smoke emitted due to incomplete combustion of coal when the steam engine of the ship was running at high speed. From the concentration of the black smoke,
Judging from its size, this is a quite large fleet.
Looking at the increasingly clear silhouette of the battleship, Qiu Yu'an smiled and said, "They are finally here."
The huge fleet was getting closer and closer, and soon the huge body of the 'Lanting' class battleship came into people's sight. The pilot boarded the small boat to greet it. Under the leadership of the pilot, the warships were all in order
entered their respective berths.
Where Qiu Yu'an was standing, a warship carrying the flag of the Fleet Commander slowly parked. The gangway quickly approached the hull. An old man wearing the uniform of the Marshal of the Saint Martin Empire slowly walked down the gangway.
Upon seeing the visitor, Qiu Yu'an immediately went up to him, held his hand and said, "Marshal Dinante, we have finally come to you."
Seeing the rank of lieutenant general on Qiu Yu'an's shoulder, Marshal Dinante immediately knew who the other party was. He sighed: "Thank you General Qiu for accepting us. It's embarrassing to say that as a soldier, I lost my country."
Qiu Yu'an said with a smile: "Marshal, you don't have to blame yourself. How can you blame the navy for the loss of land territory? Besides, the marshal's ability to bring out the entire fleet is already a great achievement."
The conversation between the two people felt very strange. They were originally on the territory of the Saint Martin Empire, and it seemed as if Marshal Dinant was a visiting army. However, the Marshal knew his own affairs, and now the Saint Martin Empire was in ruins.
Kong, the crumbling tall building is in danger of collapse as soon as it leaves the Optimus Prime of China.
