Chapter 223 Xiao He, where is my Han Xin and my general?
Chapter 223 Xiao He, where is Han Xin and my general?
An Ning was naturally very happy when he won two powerful generals in a row, but when he saw Murat's military rank, he frowned.
Murat is a captain.
This is wrong. An Ning remembers that Murat was already a major in 1993. After fighting a few battles, he could use his relationship with Robespierre to give him a full major general when he came back.
Once you become a major general, you can be released to command division or even corps-level units, and you can give full play to the value of these famous generals.
But now it seems that there have been some deviations in history. Murat was still a captain and was directly promoted from captain to general. It is estimated that the parliament will also complain a lot.
Although An Ning is now the leader of the four Jacobin giants, he can force his generals to ignore the opinions of the parliament, and no one dares to say anything.
But An Ning wants to use the power in his hands cautiously.
An Ning couldn't remember whether it was Teacher Shen or Teacher Jin who said in his previous life that the decline of American hegemony was because he did not use his hegemony carefully, leading to excessive consumption of hegemony.
An Ning deeply believed this, so he planned to use the power he had gained carefully.
In other words, it cannot be abused.
Can you forcibly give Murat a major general? Of course you can, but this matter is not urgent. It is just a matter of leading Murat to fight a few more battles.
Just as An Ning had sent Lazarus out to fight guerrillas, the king of hussars was taking the two brigades of hussars assigned to him to roam the fields of northern France.
Developed places have a revolutionary foundation. Lazarus can definitely get the support of local people, and a small number of troops can maneuver and flexibly disrupt the coalition's communication lines.
After sending out La Salle, you must have an officer who understands cavalry by your side, right? You can't charge, so let Ms. Oliver do it?
As a cavalry officer, Ms. Oliver is relatively mediocre. She is better at making the ceremonial cavalry composed of girls get into beautiful formations.
The arrival of Murat just filled this gap.
But An Ning is still short of infantry officers. By the time of the counterattack in July, An Ning may have an army of 200,000, divided into at least three armies, otherwise it will be difficult to expand.
If one army is handed over to Rana, what will happen to the remaining two armies? Do we need to choose those with popular faces to command?
What if they screw up?
After all, An Ning is not playing a game now. He can't see the values of those generals, and he doesn't know which of the public faces can beat which one is a coward.
If there is really no other way, we can only temporarily promote Murat to five levels, to major general, and let him command an army.
An Ning looked at Murat, but what she was thinking was, where's Jourdan, where's Soult, and where's Marmont?
Could it be that my luck is actually not good, and the famous generals I have drawn now were all given after drawing cards to guarantee the minimum. Of the 26 marshals, there are still more than 20 left in the pool?
What the hell, am I still continuing my African ancestry now after I traveled through time?
Murat had been standing waiting for An Ning to speak. At this time, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked doubtfully: "Well, sir, why are you looking at me all the time?"
At this time, Lazar Cano said: "You are not used to His Excellency's style. He occasionally falls into deep thought like this."
If Napoleon or Lazarus were here, they would definitely pick up what Lazar Carnot said and boast that "this is the moment of genius' inspiration" or something like that.
It's a pity that one of them was defending the city, and the other was leading the cavalry to harass the coalition forces, so they were not in Versailles at this time.
Murat: "That's right... then..."
An Ning: "Bertier, please record that I now appoint Noachan Murat as the brigade commander of the 12th Hussars Brigade and serve as the direct guard of the headquarters."
Berthier nodded immediately.
Murat: "The enemy is at hand, and I want to attack the enemy myself..."
An Ning: "You will have such a chance, I promise."
Berthier: "Do you think that the direct guard is just a fancy force responsible for protecting you? No, no, the direct guard is equivalent to the shock force commanded by you personally. You will be used in the most critical position."
Murat was immediately overjoyed: "Really? That's great. I will definitely complete the task assigned by you!"
An Ning nodded: "Now you go and get familiar with your troops and establish a trusting relationship with the cavalry. I believe you can do a good job. The Minister of War and I still have something important to discuss."
Murat immediately saluted, turned and left.
As soon as Murat left, Lazar Cano said directly: "Now the operation of organizing the troops is going smoothly, but the problem is still the same as before, there is a shortage of officers. I have to adopt a new unit organization, called half
brigade, allowing the officers of the previous regiment to command more troops."
An Ning nodded. He already knew that the French Revolutionary Army adopted a half-brigade organization instead of a regiment from the Anti-French Alliance.
"That's good." He said.
Cano: "The Congress wanted to recruit young bourgeois in the city to become officers. Because there was a severe shortage of officers, I agreed to their approach, but the quality of these officers... is hard to describe.
"My response was to promote some veterans who had outstanding performance and were literate, but their quality was at best non-commissioned officers.
"I mixed these non-commissioned officers with the little bourgeois officers, hoping that they would not collapse too quickly in the battle."
An Ning: "You always have a way. But our biggest problem now is the lack of senior officers. We need at least seven or eight generals to command the newly formed troops."
Yes, Kano, didn't you occupy Xiao He's position? Where is Han Xin? Where is my general? I gave you the list, go and find them!
There were more than 20 marshals, and you just found one Murat, which is quite beautiful!
Lazar Cano: "I have been searching very hard, but the situation is so confusing now. It is really difficult to find a specific person according to the list, like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Yes, there is so much chaos now, with rebellions everywhere, beheadings happening every day in Paris, and lynchings happening everywhere, even the "victorious organizers" can't do anything about it.
An Ning could only turn to Berthier: "Now it seems that we can only rely on the chief of staff's connections in the army. The Bernadotte you recommended before is good, I admire it very much! Is there any other general that you can recommend to me?
?”
Berthier: "Of the aristocratic officers I know, Bernadotte is the only one left who has run away to death."
An Ning scratched his head and looked at the map: "It seems that we can only temporarily put a large number of troops under my direct command. Berthier, you will be more tired."
Berthier nodded slightly: "I have no shirking responsibility."
An Ning curled her lips.
In his memory, the last person who liked micro-management did not end well!
