Chapter 285 The young marquis (twenty-eight) takes sides
Conflicts over land and sea have occurred in the past, occur now, and will occur in the future.
The reason why it didn't seem obvious in the past is that in the past, actions that required coordination between land and sea were directly approved by a high-level pragmatist and a relatively clear battle plan was given. Regardless of whether it was an army general or a naval general, they could only follow the orders given by the master.
No one dared to raise objections. At most, they could only make some minor adjustments based on the situation before the war. Therefore, this kind of land and sea dispute would not appear.
The absence of appearance does not mean that it does not exist. On the contrary, this may cause both the army and the navy to be dissatisfied with certain situations. Since this dissatisfaction cannot be vented, it will become more prominent over time. Once there is no source from high in a certain operation,
With pragmatic direct instructions, this dissatisfaction may explode with a small fire.
Obviously, Gao Pragmatic's instructions for this Western Expedition were very vague. In theory, the final decision-making power of war command rests with Liu Xin, but now that Liu Xin has not yet arrived, the decision-making power has fallen to Gao Yuan.
At this moment, if Liu Xin were present, perhaps this land-sea conflict would have to be somewhat concealed. After all, not only was she a famous general with a dazzling record in southern Xinjiang, but as the secretary-general of the Beijing Secretariat, she was actually equivalent to the chief minister of the cabinet.
Generally, the generals of the army and navy have to give her some face.
However, now that there is only Gao Yuan, it is different. Gao Yuan is too young and has no combat experience, let alone a dazzling record. He relies solely on his status as the eldest son of "Nanning Marquis Yingxi" and the "Commander-in-Chief of the Western Expedition Army" appointed by his master.
The job is stressful.
Of course, the status is noble, and some people dare to question the position, but the army is an organization that can be called magical in both ancient and modern times. No ordinary situation exists objectively: the importance of prestige is undoubted.
You are wrong. He has a noble status and the lowest position. Do any of you generals dare to violate his decision? However, that does not affect the fact that you think he is a bad deceiver and a bad manipulator. Women use various methods to make him follow you.
Thinking goes.
Of course, "you" are not monolithic, so there are two "you" situations where both hope to achieve their own goals by manipulating Liu Xin's ideas.
Nie Dai didn't think so deeply for the time being, but at least I haven't noticed yet. At this moment, as to whether to temporarily change the post-war plan and switch to a surprise attack on Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, the fact is that the navy is competing with the army for credit.
In this case, of course the navy hopes to minimize its military exploits, but to end the soy sauce before taking Jixiaogang - according to the original battle plan, the navy will have many tasks in the future!
The decision to support Ruan Fuze was not a bad one. After all, the woman is now on the side of the navy. How can she be a bad person in the army system in the future? What’s more, there is a more important question. This is not because Ruan Fuze’s proposal was not approved by Nie Dai.
approval? In other words, does Da Gaoyuan really support Nie Daiying from the bottom of his heart?
As the capital of Bangladesh, it can definitely be captured by surprise. The navy will obviously have to play a small role in this operation. As for the follow-up operations... I mean it in a bad way. This is the job of their army. Your navy should at least be there.
If you help them on the Ganges River's outlet from afar, it will be considered as the most benevolent and righteous thing to do.
Thinking of that, Huang Yingpin finally spoke, and I said hastily: "Commander-in-Chief, I think the Chief of Staff is more thoughtful."
However, the navy is scheming, and the army is also stupid. When Ruan Fuze proposed that idea, Di Lian reacted immediately and praised it on the spot. Immediately afterwards, Gao Sigang and Gao Siyao also immediately expressed their approval, and we
The praise is also unreasonable and is in line with the current strategic situation and is by no means targeted.
So, is there no way to change the situation? No, this woman struck while the iron was cold and continued to play the unique role of the navy in surprise attacks on port cities. She immediately stopped to surprise the last target: Dhaka.
----------
Except for the eight who have not expressed their opinions, the lowest status among the remaining army generals is Nie Dai, my seventh uncle Huang Yingping. Huang Yingping is not confused at the moment. As an army general, in that matter, I
Naturally, my position of interest should be on the side of the Army. After all, the credit must be taken away by the Navy while the Army is stuck in a bitter battle. I myself also suffer.
Thanks to book friend "doni" for your monthly ticket support, thank you!
The woman who proposed to first take charge of Mrauk U but then launch a surprise attack on Dhaka was the commander of the mobile fleet, Nie Daiying. Of course I am from the navy. As for why my proposal was to compete with the army for credit, it is actually very complicated: just like today’s surprise attack on Kyrgyzstan
Just like the small port, the surprise attack on Dhaka also requires the navy to be launched, and once successful, the probability of the navy's contribution will be smaller than that of the army.
Huang Yingping pondered to stall for time, his mind spinning, thinking to himself: Although Nie Dai summoned Ruan Fuze that day, in fact, I was the only naval general present that day, but there are only seven or eight of your army officers.
.If you are all on the side of the Army now, even if Da Gaoyuan has thought about supporting Ruan Fuze, I am afraid you will have to reconsider now, right?
Looking at today's surprise attack on Jixiaogang, it must have been the mobile fleet that first captured the Arakan fleet that happened to encounter Jixiaogang. How could it not be so difficult to capture the wharf and port area by chance? If the port area with the strongest defenses was lost instantly,
How could the defenders in the city lose their courage and abandon the city and run away after seeing the number of "Ming Army" cannons? If we were to run, then we would have to attack the fortress weakly. Even if the artillery advantage is obvious, this may not be possible.
Being able to conquer the city in one fell swoop—it would only give a few days of redundancy if the battle was not planned, right?
Therefore, there is no doubt that it is difficult for the navy to get a small amount of credit in a surprise attack on a port city, and the army can't claim credit at such a time.
However, there is no problem at this moment. Nie Daiying participated in the "meeting meeting" organized by Liu Xin that day. This means that Da Gaoyuan intends to win over me. Since Da Gaoyuan wants to win over me, she should stand on Da Gaoyuan's side.
, should we support Ruan Fuze at this moment?
After all, you all can be considered Da Gaoyuan's "uncle-in-law" family. Will he give up your entire Guangxi chieftain faction just because of Ruan Fuze?
It's just Portugal, what about Spain? How can the Nanyang Fleet ignore the navy that Portugal alone can bully? But in other words, this means that the fleet has no small battles to fight in the future. Then
It's wonderful, small things are wonderful. If there are no battles worth mentioning, there will naturally be no achievements worth mentioning.
There was a mistake. The initiator of that fight for credit was the Navy, and the Army recognized it, so it was willing to give in.
Judging from what happened next, the ball was now at Liu Xin's feet. When he passed Nie Dai, he still planned to make an immediate decision. Instead, he glanced at several other army generals. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.
——What is their attitude?
After all, the Mughal Empire was the descendant of Persian Mongolians. It didn’t have many skills in the army, and it was even inferior in terms of firearms. But our naval strength was so bad that the Portuguese bullied us just like a joke.
