Tiger walked into the conference room, lowered his hands to all the generals who stood at attention and saluted, and explained: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm late. I just reported the situation to His Majesty. Such losses have occurred in recent years.
It’s the first time it’s happened, so I’m a little more cautious.”
Seeing that everyone had returned to their seats, he also sat at the head, put his hands together and said: "Let me set the tone of the meeting first. His Majesty did not blame us. This time is a problem analysis, not a accountability meeting.
, so don’t make it so heavy.”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at everyone and continued: "Something went wrong after all... It seems that many details of the cross-sea landing operation still cannot meet all operational requirements."
"In fact, the logistics department has done a very good job. This is just an accident. The enemy happened to find a small flaw in ours." The general of the logistics department on the side looked ugly. Tiger's chief of staff quickly spoke to comfort him.
Unlucky guy.
In fact, the Tang Army's logistics work has been very good. If it weren't for the problem of the dwarf counterattack, the logistics department would even have a celebration party.
Imperial Marshal Tiger stopped the Chief of Staff's words with a stern tone and emphasized: "If the enemy can always discover our flaws, it proves that we ourselves have too many flaws! Gentlemen, Your Majesty hands over the army to us.
It is not for us to leave a lot of flaws for the enemy to discover."
"Although His Majesty did not blame us, the victory or defeat on the battlefield has never been determined. But as the senior commanders of the empire, we still have to avoid mistakes as much as possible." He did not pause after finishing speaking, and continued to speak, turning the logistics department into
The problem came out: "The problem this time is mainly due to the excessive pressure on logistical supplies. The cross-sea landing did bring us a lot of trouble, so we let our brave soldiers face the enemy's bombs.
"This responsibility lies with me, not with the logistics department." He put the responsibility on himself and did not mean to shirk it: "There were also some problems with the previous transportation arrangements. In fact, I personally prefer stability and focus too much on port construction.
, as well as the total amount of logistics supply reserves for frontline troops, causing other aspects to lower their standards to some extent."
As he spoke, he looked at Air Force General Xiao Yun, as if explaining and comforting: "All quick-drying cement, including engineering machinery and other resources, are tilted toward the port, which slows down the Air Force's speed in repairing and constructing airports.
It becomes very slow.”
"Until now, we have invested in two small field airports and repaired two large airports to maintain frontline air control operations. Now it seems that this number is still not enough." Having said this, he asked Xiao Yun: "
The Air Force believes that how many more airports should be added to meet combat needs?"
"I think at least one airport should be added to ensure the most basic operations." Xiao Yun thought for a while and said a very conservative number.
In fact, with the size of the Tang State's air force, it is not enough to build 10 airports on the front line. Once all those aircraft are concentrated in the theater, they can really crush and paralyze the coalition ground forces.
"Then we should add at least two more airports!" Tiger gritted his teeth and said the limit number he could bear: "But I still insist that rebuilding Everwinter Port is our most important task at the moment.
As long as the port starts functioning, everything will be fine."
"Understood." Xiao Yun didn't mind. Even if he only maintained the existing airport, he wouldn't be unable to fight. It wasn't his air force that was beaten.
To put it bluntly, as long as the Army does not cry out for pain, the Air Force can destroy dozens or even hundreds of aircraft every time it is dispatched. Which one is not an earth-shattering victory?
At this time, the chief of staff looked at several army generals and asked with a smile: "Then we can only make the ground troops suffer again... After so many years, I am afraid that the experience of fighting against the wind has been forgotten, right?"
Feng Kezhi immediately expressed his position and said: "There is no problem on the Army's side. It's just a small loss, but nothing dramatic. Give me one day and I will regain the lost position!"
"General Feng, don't worry. We have not questioned the combat effectiveness of the 9th Army. There are still many issues gathered from the front line that need to be solved one by one. We can leave the statement at the end." Tiger thought of the strange descriptions of the dwarf soldiers.
Report, and then comforted Feng Kezhi who was anxious to find his place.
He paused for a moment and then added a few words: "The 9th Army's great military exploits, including the annihilation of the 1st and 5th Dwarf armies, are seen by everyone... General Feng, you don't need to prove anything."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ying'an, who had just arrived at the front line, and ordered with a smile: "General Ying's troops will take over part of the defense line of the 1st and 9th Group Armies. The three armies will be placed in front, making the defense line even more
Thick and thick... let's set up a turtle formation, I don't believe their rabble can get any more benefits!"
In fact, before this meeting was held, the Tang army had already decided to conduct a round of defensive operations to stabilize the front and wait for the completion of the port construction.
It's just that the retreat of the 9th Army made this kind of defense seem a bit "shameful". In the past, it was a smooth transition to defense after a big victory, but now it is a helpless transition to defense after a small defeat. It is indeed a bit ugly.
However, we are all generals who have led troops in wars for many years, and they are not naive enough to launch a counterattack just to save face and regain the situation.
Despite Feng Kezhi's clamoring to fight back, Feng Kezhi actually asked the 9th Army to fight back. Feng Kezhi definitely dared to take away more than half of the ammunition in stock of the Air Force and Artillery Reserve...
After arranging the army's defense, Tiger looked at Xiao Yun again: "On the ground, we are on the defensive, and we will not move like a mountain with one move. Let's see how they break the situation! In the sky, we strengthen the offensive force, suppress the opponent's airport, and allow transportation
The fleet gives priority to replenishing the Air Force’s fuel supplies and ammunition, so that it can meet the Air Force’s consumption needs in a short period of time.”
"I will draw up a new combat plan when I get back to ensure that all nearby enemy airports are destroyed and the combat safety of the ground troops is ensured." Xiao Yun nodded in agreement.
Tiger looked at everyone and continued to insist on his arrangement: "All the remaining transportation capacity will be used to rebuild Yongdong Port. As long as we stabilize it for 30 days, once Yongdong Port is rebuilt, all variables will disappear.
.Because we need to reduce supplies, please put your attack plan on hold for now."
