Chapter 620 (1/2)

”My Lord, you mean...”

”My Lord, I object! It's too risky! ”

”My Lord, I don't think we have enough counter offensive force in our hands under the present situation!”

”My Lord, I think it's an irresponsible adventure! Although our military strength has barely reached 200000, more than half of them were defeated last time. They have not yet been reorganized and their morale has not been restored. ”

Looking at the fierce opposition of many generals in the hall, Dewey still sat quietly in his seat. In front of him, there was a long sword on the table, which belonged to the late old count Raymond. When he went to battle this time, Dewey put it on his side.

His eyes slowly swept through the crowd, looking at the faces of a group of generals with worried, dissatisfied or surprised expressions. Fortunately, the ten Cadet officers from Imperial military academy did not speak. As the direct family of Dewey, these young people have maintained absolute obedience and trust to Dewey, but there are still some doubts and puzzles in their eyes.

Dewey looked at his brother. Gabriel pursed his lips and did not speak. He looked at the tip of his boot.

Then Du Wei said:

”It has been two months since our army gathered in Yakin city. The loss of the frontier fortress is vividly remembered. And, needless to say, you should understand that although the enemy never went south, the loss of the fortress and river defense has damaged the integrity of the whole Kaspersky defense line! There's a huge gap in our defense. If the enemy dares to take risks, then they can even send troops directly from this gap to our inner abdomen, or even attack the rear transportation line of the central fortress! ”

At Duwei's command, the two soldiers unfolded the map on the wall. He glanced at the generals and said, ”see?”

”Your concern is justified.” One of the generals came forward. It's not Dewey's line. But the second-line general, who originally belonged to the eastern front, cleared his throat and said slowly: ”as you said, if the enemy dares to take risks, they can attack our central defense line from the south of the fort all the way to the west, but... I don't think that can happen. We still have a lot of troops here. If the enemy wants to ride south lightly, it is impossible to hide information from the attack of a large army. Once their troops sneak down to the south, they will be intercepted by us. Even if they flee to our inner abdomen, we can also block their retreat from the back. Then their troops going south will become a lonely army! Without backup and supply support, a lone army can not pose a great threat in our inner abdomen. ”

”But they can burn, kill and plunder.” ”What's more, we can't place our hopes on the enemy's” daring to take risks. ”

”I don't think that's within our consideration for the time being.” The general who spoke is still sticking to it. His speech represented the position of a considerable number of generals. Seeing other people nodding their heads one after another, Dewey sighed in his heart: it's not his own legitimate troops. It's really not easy. First of all, these people are obedient to their airborne commander, but they may not be convinced in their hearts.

”Even if the enemy attacks us inside. At most, it can only cause some disturbing chaos, and they are not willing to sacrifice an army just to cause some civilian riots. This is not worth the loss. I don't think the enemy would be so stupid. ” The general's words were very firm and his attitude was not very respectful. In the end, he almost said ”you don't know military common sense”.

”As long as we firmly stick to the city of Yakin. The enemy would not dare to bypass us and really go south! Those harassing attacks are not going to be a big deal. ”

Du Wei snorted and looked at the general: ”you mean, there's no need to take back the occupied fortress?”

The general's face sank and he said in a low voice, ”my Lord, that's not what I mean. It's just that we are not ready yet! Now it seems that we have gathered 200000 troops in Yakin city. But more than half of the troops were defeated in terror. Their morale did not recover. There were still many wounded people! Many armies, however, have been disrupted by you before. After reorganization, they still need a running in period. ”

At this point, he deliberately pause, with the eyes back to Du Wei one eye, that means. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Duwei's act of disorganizing the 100000 defeated stormtroopers and reorganizing them.

Dewey waved impatiently: ”then you think. When can we counterattack the fortress? Until next year? ”

The general sneered twice and said, ”you are the manager. It doesn't seem to be my decision. ”

Dewey nearly laughed with anger.

Very good. It's really good!

At the beginning of the defeat, the city of Yakin was in chaos. The second-line troops behind the storm corps, one by one, were in a panic like a pitiful dog. After their arrival, they stabilized the situation. At the beginning, these people relied on their fame to stabilize the morale of the army and the people step by step.

Now the crisis seems to be gradually over, these arrogant soldiers began to disobey their deployment.

In the final analysis, these people belong to the army of storm corps, and they are not very convinced of the commander who came from the imperial capital.

In the past, he forced 100000 defeated troops to break up and rebuild. In a disguised way, he deprived many defeated generals of the storm corps of military power. This practice was also dissatisfied by the generals of the storm Corps. Many days of discontent, finally gradually broke out?

Just as this guy said, as long as we firmly guard the city of Yakin, the army of criminals will not go south before conquering here. But... Dewey's current consideration is not to continue to drag on here!

He went to the fortress and saw with his own eyes that the other party was tearing down the fortress and rebuilding the criminal's military castle and stronghold on the north bank!

If we continue to wait, the initiative of the war situation will fall into the hands of Luoxue after the criminals get a firm foothold on the north bank! At that time, snow can firmly grasp the river line of defense, lose the first chance!

What Du Wei wants is not simply to defend, what he needs is to win!

As he told Luoxue, even if the final goal is peace. But at the negotiating table of signing the peace agreement, mankind must stand in the position of winner!

Continue to wait, let the criminals digest the Northern Territory bit by bit, and get a firm foothold and firm foundation?

Must be preemptive, disrupt each other's steps!

More importantly, Dewey believes that now is the best time to counter attack!

From what he saw in Luoxue, it was obvious that Luoxue was ready to give up the fortress! Now attack. The other side's resistance will not be too strong, and it is likely to retreat after the first World War. At that time, no matter what the gold content of this victory is, it will be a ”victory”, but at least it can greatly improve the morale of the human army after a disastrous defeat.

Even more irritating to Dewey is the truth. He has made it very clear to these people.

However, it is still opposed by these people.

It is true that there is a reason to keep the fort steady, but in this situation, if we don't counterattack, can we wait for the other side to tear down the Fortress into a piece of white ground. march off?

Thinking of this, Dewey's eyes soon cooled down, and he was staring at the opposing general. He was a division commander in the second line of the storm corps, and had the rank of major general of the Empire.

”You.” Dewey stood up. Pointing to each other's nose, the tone of voice with a trace of sneer: ”I want to ask a question. Do you blindly oppose this counter offensive plan because you really think it is not feasible, or are you afraid of war? ” At this point, Dewey deliberately pause for a while, then continue to slowly: ”or is it because, pure heart dissatisfied with me?”

”My Lord!” The general's face changed and he bit his teeth. But still holding his neck: ”I'm just reasonable! You are the chief General. Please be cautious. You know, in a war, the chief General always decides the life and death of thousands of soldiers with one idea! ”

”Ha Dewey laughed angrily: ”Oh, do you think I won't fight?”

Dewey glanced at each other's badge: ”well, you are thirty-six years old. It's the rank of major general of the Empire. I've been in the storm Corps for many years... But are you good at fighting? ”

That's all. Du Wei's tone turned clear: ”I'm less than 20 years old. I've seen the iron cavalry of prairie people in the northwest, killed the rebel general of the northwest army, and I don't need you to teach me about fighting.”

Then Dewey sat back and looked at the man with a sad face, but there was an angry look in his eyes, and he didn't think that he was just a fool who didn't know what to do. He didn't need to be angry with such a man.

”You should be grateful for my kindness, because if you had a cruel commander, you would have sent your army as cannon fodder. But although you are stupid and selfish, there is no need for your soldiers to be punished for it. ” Dewey sat down in his chair and gently waved a quill pen on the front desk: ”well, I've heard your” reasonable ”words. Now, listen carefully to my orders!”

Du Wei snapped, broke the quill pen in his hand, and then threw it to the map on the wall. Half of the pen was exactly in the position of the fortress!

”Give me an order, first level combat readiness of the whole army! The 1st and 3rd divisions are in charge of the main attack, the 5th and 7th divisions are responsible for the follow-up of the two wings, March with forceps, and complete the encirclement of the fortress... I personally lead the 2nd cavalry division and the Chinese army to participate in the main attack! ”

At this point, Dewey looked at a group of guys who were still vaguely resisting: ”by tomorrow evening, the whole army must be ready to go! If anyone disobeys the order, kill him! I don't care whether I'm a commander or a general! Commander, disobey orders, kill! The chief General of the subsidiary forces is half level! The general disobeyed orders and killed him! ” Dewey deliberately looked at the whole audience with fierce eyes: ”I don't care what you do. At this time tomorrow, I want to see the soldiers in armor, with swords and finishing the team!”

As an order goes on, whether willing or unwilling, the military order is suppressed, and everyone can only follow it.

In the end, Dewey's ”killing” remarks were reluctantly accepted by those who originally wanted to resist the storm Corps.

As for the division commander who led the opposition to Dewey, his army did not take part in the battle, and even Dewey deprived him of his remaining part. That night, an order came to his camp, ordering the army to move immediately, turn south, and maintain the safety of the transportation line all the way.

The city of Yakin has not been made a fuss. After two months of consolidation, the morale of these troops has not yet reached the pre war level, and all the troops, weapons and other materials are ready.

In these days, Dewey has brought back 3000 prisoners into the army. Although in formation. Many people take the initiative to want to be able to enter Duwei's direct subordinate forces, and more commanding officers mainly want to be demoted, even as a captain of Duwei's side.

But these people are all regarded by Du Wei as the seeds to master this army in the future! How can he master the morale of the army thoroughly if he does not spread the seeds of his prestige in the grass-roots army?

The troops that were defeated after the fall of the fortress have basically recovered, though they have been reorganized and broken up. Even under the pressure of Dewey's force, some army names were cancelled. However, for these troops who have lost their spirit, the resistance is not too strong, just the protest of some senior officers who have lost their power. Duvier's all gone. At the same time, after a large number of prisoners of war were incorporated into the army and some of the officers' positions were re mastered, the senior officers could only sigh and feel helpless.
