C1329 Should he abandon them? (1/2)
The army was supposed to be a forbidden place, and the authority of commanders was not to be challenged, but it was also a matter of when, in times of life and death, collective opinion was actually above the power of individual commanders.
EdStefanski was the commander in chief appointed by the His Majesty the Tsar himself, he looked impressive and impressive, but when the results of the collective meeting was out, he had to think about it carefully, after all, if he wanted to control this army, he needed the cooperation of countless officers.
If no one listened to him, what was the use of having a title? Furthermore, Molière's glib tongue had managed to convince him otherwise.
”Commander, please don't hesitate. Please listen carefully to my analysis... ”First of all, you don't call this abandonment, there are fortresses in the Tangwan Mountain, and as long as the army retreat and rely on those fortresses for defense, with the Tsar Warrior's combat power, holding on for seven days to half a month won't be a problem …”
”Secondly, the reason you brought Main fleet out of the Strait is because you are afraid that Xiao Letian will bring the Zhiyuan Warship back to kill us. If the Zhiyuan Warship is stuck at the western entrance of the Strait, then our great army will really be hopeless … ”At that time, even if you try your best to charge out and escape some of the battleships, you will still not be able to bring away the army …”
”What if we leave now instead of being stuck in the enemy's path and unable to leave the army? At least we can keep the fleet safe! ”
”As long as the fleet can leave this pocket, we can have many choices to solve this crisis! ”We can bombard the northern beach to the north and assist the army to break out from the north. Perhaps we can direct our troops to the west and bring them to the Great Qing's coast and place a great amount of pressure on them …”
”Believe me, Qing Nation hates Xiao Letian as much as we do. As long as Chen Bing flaunts himself with force, coupled with the benefits of the diplomats, Qing Dynasty should have it easy …”
”When the time comes, we can attack the Tanggu District from the sea and avenge the Tanggu District from the land. As long as the Tanggu turns into a sea of fire, Xiao Letian will definitely be saved. At that time, we can even start negotiations and let them sign an alliance under the city …”
Molière cleared his throat and replied, ”Even if all of these are unrealistic, it still didn't succeed. As long as our fleet can safely arrive at the Haishenwai and join the defending troops, we won't lose them in the Far East. The Empire's big strategic plan will still be completed!”
”Believe me, can't even 20,000 people lose their lives in the gigantic Sha'o? What was this military power to the entire empire? A drop in the bucket! ”
With these words, Molière didn't have the ability to win the battle, and he also lacked the ability to formulate a plan for sure. But his eloquence was truly useful, it was simply an easy task to coax this group of polar bears.
EdStefanski finally started to hesitate and sway, at the same time, Molière used his last trump card, ”Commander!” Do you really want Major Akson to be trapped here? Let him become Xiao Letian's hostage? ”Wake up, we still have a chance to make a comeback …”
”As long as our fleet can escape, we can turn it into a pack of wolves on the East Asian Sea. You can let Major Akson command the naval battles, and he will take the warships to bombard the Da Gu Kou, Jin Prefecture, Jiaozhou, and the economic circle of the Yangtze River …”
Also, those Japanese s that are following Xiao Letian, you can bombard them once along their coastline. Since the enemy only has one battleship, will definitely be under an unprecedented diplomatic pressure if he takes this opportunity to attack. When that happens, we boys who are trapped in the Tangwan Mountain will be able to use diplomatic methods to save them!
”More importantly, the honorable Major can also receive great military merits. Since you have made those big families happy, I think that if we make a small mistake in the war, those nobles will definitely help you get over it. What do you think?”
”Oh my God, was your tongue given to you by Satan? Alright, I admit that you've convinced me. Someone, come! Bring Major Akson to my private cabin, you are not allowed to release him without my permission … ”
At this time, Akson was on the deck, having the Military Doctor bandage the wound on her arm. His eyes were fixed on the distant roar of artillery. He knew how many soldiers were being attacked and how many were being killed in the dense forest of the mountain paths.
