When Commander Wei Jing saw Supervisor Wu Xiaoqi's expression, he knew that the order from the headquarters was different from their previous optimistic thoughts.
On the way to the transfer, he discussed with Supervisor Wu Xiaoqi and Chief of Staff Hua Zhenlei what was the most powerful method for the First Division?
That is to ignore the chaos in Poland at all.
With the assistance of the Royal Navy, they used leapfrog tactics to attack the German Federation or the Kingdom of France.
This is not difficult at all for the Royal Navy, which has control of the sea.
The Royal Navy would even be happy to do this.
This is equivalent to the Royal Navy dividing the military power of the Royal Army and enhancing the Royal Navy's right to speak.
If we only consider the military, the choice of the headquarters is not difficult to guess at all.
However, in military operations, in some cases, the interests of all parties must also be considered, and even the future and future impact of frontline generals.
They fought across the sea and chose leap-frog tactics.
For the Royal Navy, this is something that is impossible to achieve.
The relationship between the Imperial Royal Navy and the Royal Army is not so harmonious, especially these military achievements, which can be used as evidence of future competition for military expenditures.
Once the high command chooses to do this, they will be stabbed up and down the spine by the future Royal Army.
If you are confident of leaving the empire and establishing your own country overseas, you won't care whether the Royal Army is angry or not.
But I want to stay in the empire and leave a legacy to the family.
No one would choose a method that might offend all members of the Royal Army.
Commander Wei Jing knew that they were discussing with me the most beneficial method for the First Division, which was basically impossible to achieve.
The headquarters has different positions for the First Division, and they will adopt different methods, which cannot be predicted in advance.
Commander Wei Jing took the telegram from Supervisor Wu Xiaoqi and read it carefully.
He read very slowly, without missing a word, from beginning to end.
The arrangement of the headquarters was for the First Division to wait until the flood receded and then begin to rescue the people in the Huangsha area and win over the people.
At the same time, the roads leading to the German region were cleaned and renovated to allow tanks and cars to pass smoothly.
The First Division recruited servant troops in Poland and other places to maintain order in Poland and Germany.
After reading this, Mr. Wei Jing said with a wry smile: "The most worrying thing has happened.
These things should not be done by us, this is what the imperial court sends the governor or governor to do."
When Supervisor Wu Xiaoqi heard this, his face changed slightly and he approached Wei Jing nervously.
When Commander Wei Jing saw Supervisor Wu Xiaoqi's actions, he immediately took a big step back, looked at Supervisor Wu Xiaoqi, and said with an evil look in his eyes: "If you have anything to say, please tell me carefully, and don't act like a gangster from the Military Intelligence Department."
Teacher Wei Jing was almost so frightened by this action that he broke into a cold sweat.
In an army, the supervisors and division commanders are secretly conspiring. This situation will cause misunderstandings in the court and cause unnecessary trouble.
Supervisor Wu Xiaoqi saw that Master Wei Jing had such a big reaction, and he also knew that his actions just now were indeed a bit rash.
He then stood opposite Commander Wei Jing and said in a low voice: "It is impossible for the imperial court to send a governor or governor.
Before the expedition, His Majesty the Emperor had promised that after conquering Europe, most of the territory would be enfeoffed.
It is simply impossible for the imperial court to go back on its word and send governors and governors to these areas.
This will not only be opposed by the ministers of the court, but also by the princes who are preparing to join the vassal vassal. They will also strongly oppose this matter.
It is for this reason that these places can only be managed by military control or supported by puppets.
Doing so is also very beneficial to us.
Whether it is an important minister or a prince who establishes a vassal state here, they will definitely remember the incense and love.
When we or our descendants go to this country, the treatment they will receive must be extraordinary.
Under normal circumstances, main battle armies like ours don't need to pay attention.
But who allowed the emergence of this flood to really delay the pace of our army's actions.
I guess the idea of the headquarters is to transfer manpower from other places instead of directly using our army to save effort."
When Commander Wei Jing heard Supervisor Wu Xiaoqi's suggestion, he realized that there were so many inside stories behind the matter.
Not to mention a small division commander like him, even Commander Bai Yuangui had to make compromises.
Teacher Wei Jing said helplessly: "What can we do about this?
A soldier's bounden duty is to obey orders, and our First Division can only execute orders from the headquarters.
I know nothing about managing local areas, so I still have to rely on Supervisor Wu for everything."
When Supervisor Wu Xiaoqi saw that Commander Wei Jing had figured it out, he felt relieved.
He was afraid that Wei Jing was in a daze and would directly expose the matter that had been agreed in private to the sky.
This kind of thing is done in private, and His Majesty the Emperor will not interfere.
But if we really take it seriously, everyone in the chain will be dealt with.
The Royal Army is an army that defends the empire and expands territory for the empire.
He is not anyone's private army and is never allowed to do private things.
The Royal Army destroyed enemy forces and helped the empire's top dignitaries clear obstacles to nation-building.
This matter has been criticized by some people in the empire.
When they discovered that someone was using public weapons for personal use, they allowed the Imperial Royal Army to directly manage a place.
This will cause a bigger storm. Once public opinion surges, His Majesty the Emperor will not act against public opinion because of this matter.
Someone will definitely take responsibility when the time comes, and the end of these initiators will not be too good.
Commander Wei Jing shook his head and said: "Wu Jianjun, you first select some smart people in the army and train these people.
At least let them watch the Poles do things effortlessly.
I went to see Chief of Staff Hua. He and everyone in the staff were still planning our army's next march.
There is no need to calculate this kind of thing now.
Wait until we take care of things here in Poland.
I wonder what the situation on the battlefield has become?
The war plan we have in mind now will not be feasible at all when faced with future conditions."
After saying a few words, they separated and went about their own business.
A crisp whistle sounded throughout the military camp at midnight.
Commander Wei Jing immediately turned over and sat up. He put on his pistol and walked out of the camp.
The outside of the camp was already illuminated by lights as bright as day.
Chief of Staff Hua Zhenlei saw Commander Wei Jing coming out. He pointed to the water tank below and said, "Commander Wei, the flood has reached our location.
This is quite some distance from Warsaw, and the floods are still very powerful.
The floodwaters are still rising and are about to reach our army's tents.
It really scared me just now, but fortunately the flood has stabilized and will no longer continue to rise."
When Commander Wei Jing saw such a ferocious flood, he was a little sleepy at first, but now he is not sleepy at all.
Fire and water are merciless, they will really be washed away by the flood, and the non-combat casualties will be the highest since the founding of the empire.
Master Wei Jing lamented: "Water and fire are merciless, the power of nature is too strong.
Fortunately, we had time to react to the water attack, and the enemy did not flood seven armies.
With our experience and lessons learned, I think other friendly forces will focus on guarding against river embankments.
If the flood is so powerful, the surrounding food crops will definitely be cut off.
We don’t know how many people will be flooded in Warsaw, but when the flood recedes, we will be busy.”
Supervisor Wu Xiaoqi suggested: "The current flow rate of the flood is stable. Even if the length of the breach in the river embankment increases, the flood will not suddenly rise.
Our army has weathered this flood, and now we should report the news to the headquarters to prevent the headquarters from misjudging the situation of our army."
Supervisor Wu Xiaoqi’s words received unanimous support.
A telegram was immediately sent to the headquarters to report their situation.
…………………………
Commander Bai Yuangui was smoking a cigarette and checking the situation reported from various places.
The three armies and the east and west armies are progressing smoothly and are now almost reaching the German border.
The Kingdom of Poland's will to resist is extremely weak, and their combat capabilities are no better than some indigenous tribes.
It is only a matter of time before the Royal Army takes over all of Poland.
Only the First Army of the Central Route Army worried Commander Bai Yuangui the most.
The Central Army easily captured Warsaw and directly cut off the center of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Commander Bai Yuangui was not yet happy when news suddenly came that the embankments of the Vistula River had been dug up and floods were raging.
This directly trapped the most elite First Division of the Third Army in the Warsaw area.
They had also had intense discussions before, and some people wanted the first division to join the second division or the third division.
After research and judgment, the staff department concluded that the possibility of avoiding the flood was very high, but the possibility of the First Division running through the flood was extremely low.
The transfer of the army is by no means that simple. Cars travel faster than floods.
However, it is extremely difficult for a car to outrun floods on dirt roads with poor roads, or even on wasteland without roads.
What's more, there are behemoths like tanks, which are extremely difficult to move.
Once the headquarters gives the order for the First Division to evacuate and join friendly forces.
The First Division is very likely to take risks, and if something goes wrong it will cause a lot of non-combat attrition.
Commander Bai Yuangui also wanted to take advantage of this military success to gain the opportunity to build a country overseas.
He has captured the two big countries, Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and will also provide huge help in the process of attacking the German Federation.
He also served as Emperor Su He's confidant. Even if he had lower qualifications, he still hoped to be crowned king and obtain the quota for overseas nation-building.
But during the battle, he encountered big problems, such as the amount of non-combat attrition being too high.
Commander Bai Yuangui will inevitably be attacked by his competitors and find ways to erase his place.
For him now, stability far outweighs rash progress.
After determining the positioning of the First Division, the headquarters quickly figured out what to do with the First Division during this period.
This flood is a disaster and a crisis.
As long as the Royal Army performed well, it saved a large number of Poles in disasters.
They will be able to successfully establish the basis of rule in Poland and at the same time attract a large number of Polish people to take refuge.
Compared with France, which has a profound historical background, it includes the Holy Roman Empire and its vassal states of the German Confederation.
Poland has a short history and has experienced many civilizational gaps.
The unity of the Poles is much worse than that of other European countries, which is conducive to their rule.
Commander Bai Yuangui learned certain experiences from the Ottoman Turks, and their methods of ruling foreign nations had certain advisability.
Chief of Staff Lu Guanghua came over with two telegrams.
He saw Commander Bai Yuangui thinking about a problem while smoking.
This situation has happened many times. Whenever it comes to making strategic decisions, Commander Bai Yuangui will think about the matter for a long time.
Chief of Staff Lu Guanghua handed over a telegram.
"This is a telegram from the First Division of the Third Army. They found a high place to set up camp.
Now the surrounding floods have begun to slowly recede.
The entire First Division was safe and was not affected by the flood.
They will wait for the flood to recede completely, then head to Warsaw to carry out the tasks assigned by the high command."
Commander Bai Yuangui said with a smile: "The first thing is to be okay.
Listening to their tone, it seems that they are not satisfied with the arrangements made by the headquarters."
Chief of Staff Lu Guanghua was just about to say a few words of persuasion when he saw Commander Bai Yuangui wave his hand.
“I also come from the grassroots level and know their thoughts.
They must have resentment in their hearts and do not understand the actions of the high command.
Don’t ask for too much, as long as you can carry out the orders, don’t worry too much about the rest.”
Chief of Staff Lu Guanghua nodded and handed over a telegram.
"This is what the reconnaissance airship learned.
With Warsaw as the dividing point, many rivers close to the German Federation have burst their banks.
The man behind the Warsaw embankment breach has been revealed very clearly.
If it’s not France, it’s Germany.”
Bai Yuangui was not surprised at all, he said with a smile: "As long as you think about this matter, who has gained more benefits behind the scenes, the answer has already come out.
What I have discovered so far only supports the answer in my mind.
Germany has too much to take care of itself, and only France can spare the energy to do such a thing.
This matter must be one of the ways France chose to delay the Royal Army."
Chief of Staff Lu Guanghua slapped the table and said: "Heroes think alike, and I also think this thing was done by France.
The river bank observed by the airship was cracked, and they used a large amount of explosives to blow it open.
Such powerful explosives are not available in Poland.
This is a yellow explosive developed by imperial scholars, and the technology was stolen from England and France.
Now that England has been captured by the Royal Navy, only France can produce large quantities of yellow explosives."
Supervisor Wang Shiqi walked in with a piece of information.
"When I looked at the lights in the tent, I knew that none of you were sleeping.
Now that I have finished this picture, you should feel at ease.
I’m so sleepy, now I have to go back and catch up on some sleep.”
After Supervisor Wang Shiqi finished speaking, he put the two paintings on the table.
Chief of Staff Lu Guanghua said: "Looking at General Wang Shiqi's face, he is too tired.
I hope his results are effective and can alert us.
Fortunately, we encountered floods this time. If it were a volcanic eruption, most people would not survive. We must try our best to avoid this situation."
While Chief of Staff Lu Guanghua was speaking, he opened the painting left by Wang Shiqi, the supervisor of the army.
These are two maps of Europe, with large and small volcanoes and the directions of rivers in Western Europe marked on them.
Supervisor Wang Shiqi also marked on the map the places where once the embankments burst, flooding would be unstoppable.
After Commander Bai Yuangui read it, he said happily: "Wang Shiqi, the supervisor, is very powerful. He can reconstruct the original appearance of things from various books.
With these two maps, our army will inevitably reduce a lot of non-combat attrition."
Commander Bai Yuangui was very satisfied with these two pictures. He asked every officer to understand the significance of these two pictures to reduce unnecessary casualties.
