Only at this time did Grand Governor Qi Gangyi completely relax.
Emperor Suhe Jinguo said that this battle will definitely begin.
As a well-known founding veteran in the court, as long as he does not make fatal mistakes in this war.
If Emperor Su He really wanted to carve out vassal states, he would definitely have a place for him.
Qi Gangyi and Qu Tian looked at each other, and they took advantage of the fact that the other generals of the Governor's Mansion had not arrived.
They reported the recommended generals regarding this battle to Emperor Su He.
Emperor Su He simply looked through the list reported by the two men.
He frowned when he saw the name at the top of the list. These two people had lost their face in order to be crowned kings.
Emperor Su He snorted coldly and scolded: "You two are just fooling around, one is the Governor of the Governor's Office, and the other is the Chief of Staff of the General Staff Department.
Instead of sitting in the central command, he wanted to compete with ordinary generals for credit and personally go to the front line to command the army.
You don't want this face, I still want to have a better reputation in the history of youth.
How will historians record this period of history?
I guess it’s just a reminder that China has no generals and can only rely on veterans.”
Governor Qi Gangyi glanced at Qu Tian, Chief of General Staff.
The two of them wanted to go together, preparing to gain more military glory in this way.
But now seeing Emperor Su He's attitude, this approach is not advisable and we can only try our best to do our job well.
After Emperor Su He read the two lists, he happily praised: "You heroes have the same views. There are a lot of overlaps in the two lists.
It can be seen that the strength of some generals can be recognized by both of you.
I will select the best among these generals to be the commander-in-chief of this battle."
When Grand Governor Qi Gangyi heard what Emperor Su He said, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Chief of General Staff Qu Tian uttered a sigh and immediately closed his mouth.
He didn't understand why Emperor Su He did this at first.
Chief of General Staff Qu Tian then immediately wanted to understand why Emperor Su He did this.
The generals recommended by the two of them basically have unique abilities.
Without letting this general in, this list will not be able to convince the public.
In this way, Emperor Su He eliminated the interference of factions and favors.
Even though there were some generals who were good at dancing but not really very strong, they were personally tested by Emperor Su He.
Su He, the emperor of the military life, could also judge which generals had real talents and knowledge, and which generals had only false reputations.
Chief of General Staff Qu Tian looked at Governor Qi Gangyi with a wry smile.
What they did before was just to make people laugh.
The generals from the Metropolitan Governor's Office arrived at Qianqing Palace one after another.
Emperor Su He asked Chief of General Staff Qu Tian to set up a sand table in the Qianqing Palace.
He summoned the generals on the list individually in the study of the Tiandian Palace of Qianqing Palace to examine their true talents and learning.
The civil servants of the Qianqing Palace watched with envy in their eyes as they watched the generals from the Governor's Palace enter the side halls one after another.
Even though it was already noon and their stomachs were growling, they didn't complain.
After Emperor Su He inspected these generals, most of them had real talents.
There are veterans and recent rising stars.
From this point, it can be seen that there is no problem in the inheritance of military commanders in the empire, and newcomers with outstanding performance are constantly coming in.
Emperor Su He walked out of his study just before twelve o'clock noon.
When he saw the hungry ministers, he immediately ordered to the young eunuch next to him: "Inform the imperial dining room that I and the ministers will have dinner in the Qianqing Palace.
Just prepare some simple meals, there is no need to work hard, I don’t have time to taste delicious food today.”
The little eunuch immediately trotted to the imperial dining room. He conveyed Emperor Su He's request to the imperial dining room in detail.
The steward of the imperial kitchen was almost bald, so he made a few pasta dishes.
The imperial dining room makes exquisite dishes, which is their specialty.
They don't know much about making simple meals that can be eaten quickly.
Emperor Su He saw that the imperial dining room had sent dishes to Qianqing Palace, mainly various noodles, and he could choose the taste of his own.
He handed a list to the governor Qi Gangyi.
"This is the list of generals that I have determined after inspection.
I will leave it to the Governor-General to arrange the specific matters."
The Grand Governor Qi Gangyi immediately straightened his body and promised: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Grand Governor's Office will definitely use it according to its ability.
I put the right people in the right positions."
Governor Qi Gangyi saw clearly that he had lost the opportunity to go to the front line.
He can only do his best to do his part and help the army win this war, and then he can be crowned king for his merits.
The pasta cooked in the imperial dining room was delicious. Many civil servants and generals were really hungry. They ate quickly instead of savoring it slowly.
Emperor Su He finished lunch with his ministers and stood in front of the giant sand table that Chief of General Staff Qu Tian had laid out.
He pointed at the sand table with his finger and said: "This is the empire's support for the Fujian Kingdom, so we must once and for all solve the major troubles surrounding the Fujian Kingdom.
The main offensive route starts from the port and crosses the Suez Canal.
The Royal Navy and the Royal Army work together to defeat the European Allied Forces.
I have decided to appoint Zhan Tie as the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, Cao Zhengyuan as the chief of staff, and Zhao Changkong as the supervisor of the army.
Command the First Fleet and the Fourth Fleet to control the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastal areas.
I have decided to appoint Lu Chenyang as the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army, Zhang Lei as the chief of staff, and Liang Feng as the supervisor.
These six people form the European Theater Command, which is responsible for the joint command and operations of the Army and Navy in the European Theater.
The main logistics support is based on sea transportation.
In order to prevent the interruption of shipping due to natural disasters and other reasons, the imperial army's routes were in trouble.
At the same time, it contained Russia and Ottoman Türkiye from the side.
I decided to open a second battlefield and a third battlefield.
The target of the second battlefield is Russia. Bai Yuangui is the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army, Lu Guanghua is the chief of staff, and Wang Shiqi is the supervisor.
The 2nd Armored Regiment of the Royal Army was placed under the command of Bai Yuangui.
The target of the third battlefield is Ottoman Turkey. Wu Ming is the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army, He Guangzhi is the chief of staff, and Mi Yu is the supervisor.
Specific operational details will be arranged by the General Staff Headquarters."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The many generals in the Qianqing Palace have different mentality.
Lu Chenyang, Bai Yungui, Wu Ming and others performed well when Emperor Su He invited them alone just now.
They were given the opportunity to command an army.
The rest of the generals all had more or less disappointed expressions on their faces.
Many people think that they just didn't perform well for a while.
Zhan Tie had already prepared for his appointment.
The navy is different from the army. The navy is an absolutely high-tech branch.
He was the captain of the first Emperor-class battleship and understood the performance of the Emperor-class battleship.
As long as the Navy dispatches Emperor-class battleships, it will definitely choose him to be its commander.
Chief of General Staff Qu Tian immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the General Staff has made more than a hundred plans based on various situations.
His Majesty chose the Imperial Royal Army to fight on three fronts.
For this situation, the General Staff Headquarters also has strategic arrangements.
The strategy has been approved by His Majesty, and the General Staff will discuss with the commanders of the major battlefields which army to send to fight."
When Emperor Su He heard about Qu Tian's arrangement, he agreed with it.
Which army to send to the battlefield must be discussed clearly with the commander of the battlefield.
The commander-in-chief and the generals of the army are bound to be close and distant.
Neither can we arrange people who are too close, so that the army becomes the commander's private army.
And we can't arrange for people with conflicts.
Discord between generals will affect the combat level of the army, and this must be avoided.
Chief of General Staff Qu Tian held several small flags and walked to the giant sand table.
He began to talk about the strategic arrangements of the empire.
"On the main battlefield in Europe, the most important task of the Royal Navy is to eliminate the enemy's threat to the logistics supply line.
The reasons for the failure of the Fujian Heroic Army have also been analyzed by the General Staff.
In addition to the conflicts and corruption within the Heroic Army, the biggest external cause is problems with the maritime logistics supply line.
The Imperial Royal Army is good at suppressing enemy forces with powerful firepower.
Especially in our early stages, we can only support about 200,000 troops.
Use 200,000 troops to resist the million troops of the European Allies.
To achieve victory, sufficient artillery support is necessary.
The mission of the Royal Army is very simple.
Defeat the European Allied forces head-on on the battlefield.
It is best to let the Europeans know that they are fighting against the empire with a destructive attitude, that is, they are using their arms as a chariot and have no room to fight back.
The second battlefield and the third battlefield have nothing to say in terms of military aspects.
Russia and Ottoman Türkiye were absolutely unable to withstand the Royal Army's attack.
The role of our General Staff is mainly responsible for coordinating the operations of various armies.
Provide timely and accurate intelligence support to frontline troops.
Purchase a large amount of military supplies in order to cope with this war.
The Metropolitan Governor's Office appropriated five million taels of silver coins for the purchase of military supplies.
As the war continues, the key to whether the empire can win depends on the supply of logistical supplies, as well as the management of occupied areas and the arrangement of prisoners.
These are the tasks of the cabinet, and our governor's office only cares about how to win the war."
Chief of General Staff Qu Tian introduced the general situation of the three battlefields in a brief speech.
He wanted to go into more detail to show the strength of the General Staff.
However, Emperor Su He's arrangements, whether it was the selection of the frontline commander or the arrangements for the three-front battle, were beyond the expectations of the General Staff.
Emperor Su He gave the General Staff time to plan.
But Qu Tian must demonstrate the role of the General Staff immediately.
He can start with a broad outline, and after this meeting, go back to the General Staff to fill in the details.
If he says nothing, others will surely question the role of the General Staff.
This will also affect the general of the Metropolitan Governor's office, because he, the chief of general staff, has done nothing, affecting the possible future kingship.
In a short period of time, Qu Tian combined the previous plans and the general framework of the three battlefields in accordance with Emperor Su He's ideas.
He also passed the blame for possible problems on the battlefield to the cabinet in advance.
Emperor Su He saw Chief of General Staff Qu Tian talking eloquently, and finally made a move to pass the blame.
Emperor Su He also realized that the governor's office was well prepared for this war.
The Metropolitan Governor's Office asked generals who were likely to command operations to return to Beijing to report on their duties. This arrangement required a long time of coordination.
The Metropolitan Governor's Office also prepared military supplies in advance.
Only when the army has sufficient material support can they rush to the front line as quickly as possible.
Emperor Su He said: "I cannot allow the Governor's Office to misappropriate funds to provide supplies for the troops on the front line.
For this battle, the empire will issue special bonds to raise military expenses for sending troops.
It does not occupy the normal military expenditures of the imperial military.
The imperial cabinet allocates a small amount of imperial military spending in the early stage, and when the empire has established a reputation in Europe, there will be no need to worry about selling special bonds."
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi heard Emperor Su He's instructions.
He immediately assured: "Your Majesty, please rest assured about this battle of the empire.
The cabinet has the power to raise funds and supplies.
The bond market is functioning well, and with the empire's credit backing it, there is no need to worry about selling the bonds.
The empire's food output and industrial products are growing at an alarming rate every year.
As long as you take out your silver coins, there is nothing you can't buy."
Cabinet Minister Qu Xiangyang suggested: "Your Majesty, this war between the Empire and Europe may end in a short time, or it may last for several years.
The Thirty Years' War in Europe lasted for more than thirty years, which shows the resilience of these European countries.
Chen proposed to build some factories in India and Persia near Europe.
Let these factories supply the material consumption of the army, so that only the transportation cost is spent, and a lot of silver coins can be saved."
Cabinet Minister Qu Xiangyang saw Emperor Su He frown slightly, and he continued: "Your Majesty does not need to worry that these two places have neither enough industrial population nor a complete industrial chain.
There is no need to worry about any of this, as long as the court provides preferential policies.
Those profit-seeking businessmen saw huge interests waving to them.
Naturally, these two places will be built into industrial cities.
The empire can also use this to complete the industrialization of these two places."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Emperor Su He heard the advice of cabinet minister Qu Xiangyang.
He thought for a while and then agreed to the suggestion of cabinet minister Qu Xiangyang.
The empire took action in Europe and Arabia.
Once victory is achieved, these two regions will no longer have the foundation to nurture powerful nations after being conquered by the empire.
In addition, Emperor Su He was planning to establish a vassal state.
It is almost impossible for European countries and Ottoman Turkey to have a conflict with the empire.
They had to pass through the blockade of these vassal states before they could reach the empire.
The empire does not need to worry about the influence of foreign enemies and can slowly assimilate the indigenous people within the empire.
Emperor Su He did not have to worry about a series of problems that might be caused by industrialization.
What's more, these industrial cities are basically gathering places for Han people.
Emperor Su He nodded in agreement with cabinet minister Qu Xiangyang.
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this situation.
Establish an industrial zone close to the battlefield to supply the frontline army with consumption.
In this way, the empire's logistical pressure will not be so great.
The most important point is that if something goes wrong, someone will be held responsible.
Emperor Su He and the civil and military officials discussed the details of this war one by one.
It was getting late, and the imperial meeting had just ended.
After the Grand Governor's Mansion completes the deployment of troops, the empire's troops will rush to the major battlefields.
Emperor Su He stood at the gate of Qianqing Palace, looking up at the full moon in the sky.
He knew that the outcome of this war would affect the fate of the empire.
Emperor Su He pondered for a while, and he thought that everything he should do had been done.
"Shu'er, please call back Zhang Wan, King of Fujian, in my name.
The suzerain state will not abandon the vassal state.
The troops stationed in the Suez Canal will assist Fujian in its defense.
The army supported by the empire is already on its way."
The empire must give the Fujian country confidence in time and let them find a way to persevere.
When Fujian knew that there were reinforcements, it would definitely defend Greece and other places.
When the imperial army arrived in Europe, it had well-equipped stations and did not need to carry out landing operations with huge casualties.
