The first thousand five hundred and seventy-eighth chapter mud can not support the wall
When he saw Bi Zhi'an coming to his door, Ying Yikang was not a stupid person. Naturally, he could tell at a glance why this classmate came to see him.
In fact, this is not the first classmate or subordinate who has come to see me.
Since the end of last year, people have continued to find me.
The classmates who were at the same time in the martial arts school, the classmates in the imperial school, the colleagues in the army, and the subordinates, all of them are counted. As long as they can be related and have connections, most of them have found their own side.
Why do they come to see me?
What else could it be, it’s just that I want to go to the northwest front!
Ying Yikang actually avoided seeing him most of the time. If he met occasionally, it would depend on the situation. If it was just a normal request and there was no requirement to go to the frontline troops, he would also help. But if he wanted to go to the frontline
The troops lead troops, and they want positions such as battalion commander and regimental commander, so he will not interfere easily.
The battalion commander was fine, but the position of commander of the front-line troops was something he, a major general, could not interfere with.
He knew that last month, the 31st Infantry Regiment under the 11th Infantry Division under the Fifth Army in the northwest was vacant. For the position of the gun, several powerful figures in the Privy Council directly broke up with each other.
, and finally it is said that it alerted the army boss Li Chunjing.
Although Ying Yikang is called a military rookie by outsiders, a leader of the younger generation, and the youngest major general in the past ten years, it can be seen from these series of titles that in the eyes of the military's top brass, he is actually not
He's just a brother.
The Director of the Strategy Department of the Privy Council Staff and Major General of the Army is a powerful figure in the eyes of many people, but in fact, he is still a brother within the Army. How can he interfere with the arrangement of officers in the frontline troops?
He himself is still planning his future.
Everyone wants to go to the front line, and Ying Yikang is no exception, he wants to too!
In recent months, he has been planning to go to the northwest front, hoping to seize the position of commander of the main infantry division.
But within the army, competition for ordinary positions is easy to say, but the position of division commander of the main front-line force has always been the most fiercely competitive position.
The Tang Army's infantry divisions totaled just over fifty, and the main front-line troops, those that maintained combat readiness all year round, only numbered about twenty divisions.
The competition for the position of commander of its main infantry division is fierce. To a certain extent, it is actually more fierce than the position of field army commander. Although the position of field army commander is also important, generals who are qualified to be army commanders are not actually considered
There are too many, so the corresponding competition is not yet so fierce.
But for the position of division commander, active major generals are qualified, and so are senior brigadiers.
So theoretically speaking, almost all the major generals and brigadiers in the army are eyeing the position of division commander of the more than 20 main divisions, and these major generals and brigadiers are also supported by lieutenant generals or even lieutenant generals.
.
Therefore, whenever there is a vacancy for the division commander of the main infantry division, many military bosses will personally kill him.
As a leader of the younger generation of generals, Ying Yikang has been promoted to major general for more than a year, but he is still not very strong in wanting to serve as the commander of a main infantry division, but there are many people behind him who are helping to push him.
As a commoner's son, and his wife's family is just an ordinary family, Ying Yikang is able to make it to where he is today because he has someone behind him!
First it was his teacher, then other superiors, and in the past two years, Army boss Hao Bainian also paid a lot of attention to him.
His promotion to major general was closely related to Hao Bainian's recommendation.
But he is capable and has a good background, but other competitors are not bad either!
People with no ability or background are not even qualified to be Ying Yikang's opponent!
Therefore, even if Hao Bainian was behind him, it would be very difficult to tear off a piece of flesh in the northwest and become the commander of the main infantry division.
This matter has been going on since last year, but there is still no certainty, and he himself is still worried about it.
Now that he saw Bi Zhi'an, he actually wasn't very interested, but seeing that Bi Zhi'an was his classmate and his old subordinate for many years, he came out to see him.
After the two people met and had a brief chat, Bi Zhian shamelessly told him the reason for his visit today!
"Nowadays, the situation in the northwest is tense. As a member of the Emperor and His Majesty's minister, I really have no intention of staying behind. I always want to go into battle to kill the enemy and share the worries of the Holy Emperor!"
Hearing this, Ying Yikang raised his head and glanced at Bi Zhian, thinking about how to deal with this matter.
In fact, he quite admired Bi Zhian. A few years ago, he had deliberately brought this classmate up and trained him to become his direct force.
But later I discovered that this person’s abilities were too poor to help him!
When he was on the northwest front, he specially brought Bi Zhian to the front line. He led Bi Zhian to win several battles and made great contributions. He also used his connections to send Bi Zhian to study at the Royal Academy.
But after Bi Zhian entered the Royal Academy, his grades were really unsatisfactory!
There were more than 100 military students from Imperial Academy who graduated last year, and this person's overall score ranked in the 90s.
In fact, Ying Yikang was very dissatisfied with this!
In his opinion, if the graduation result cannot be among the top three, it is a failure. After all, there are graduates in the imperial study every year, and there are thirty top three graduates every year. And how many lieutenant generals and major generals are there in total?
, this means that even if they are among the top three, when it comes time to compete for the main division commander or corps commander, dozens of people will have to compete.
No matter how bad it is, you can at least get into the top ten. If you can get into the top ten, there is no need to come to Ying Yikang. The military can directly arrange for him to be trained on the northwest front. If you are lucky, you can get one.
No matter how bad the battalion commander of the main front-line force is, he can become a battalion commander of the second-line force.
But Bi Zhian only passed the exam with more than 90 students.
This made him feel that all the cultivation he had done in the past few years had gone to shit.
Mud can't hold up the wall!
This is Ying Yikang's feeling about Bi Zhi'an. Of course, it is limited to judging his theoretical learning ability, but Ying Yikang is still quite optimistic about this person's fighting ability.
If you dare to kill and charge, if a war breaks out, you really don’t want your life!
And this is also an important reason why Ying Yikang admires him more.
He thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Brother Bi wants to go to the front line to share your worries. This is a good thing, but I don't know what Brother Bi has planned?"
If he just gave up on Bi Zhi'an, he felt it was a bit of a waste. After all, he had trained him for several years. If this person could grow up, then he would be his direct lineage.
But he doesn't plan to spend too much effort to support him!
As the leader of the younger generation of generals, he has a large number of people following him. If the same resources are used on another talented person, the effect will naturally be better.
After hearing this, Bi Zhi'an said: "As a soldier, it is naturally best to lead the army on the front line. But now that the northwest front line has gathered countless heroes from the Tang Dynasty, An does not dare to compare with these heroes. He only wants to go to the front line to kill the enemy.
I’m so satisfied!”
Ying Yikang was naturally able to hear what Bi Zhian said. The requirements were not high. He had no intention of becoming a battalion commander in the frontline troops. No matter what he did, he would be satisfied as long as he could go to the frontline.
Quite a bit self-aware!
That way, arranging it will be easy!
With Bi Zhian's ability and qualifications, there is no hope of directly serving as a battalion commander in the front-line troops. Not to mention Ying Yikang, Hao Bainian couldn't arrange it himself!
In terms of his graduation results, military achievements and qualifications, he is really not popular among the younger generation of the Army. Even if a big boss like Hao Bainian forces the arrangement, it will cause criticism.
Don’t even count on the battalion commander of the second-line troops!
He knows very well that the current army officers serving in the northwest, regardless of whether they are battalion commanders or regimental commanders, all need to be ruthless characters with talents and backgrounds. The best mid-level officers in the army almost always appear together.
In the northwest armies.
Just like Bi Zhian, one cannot even dream of becoming a unit commander in the regular army in the northwest.
However, with some operation, there is still some hope for non-chief positions such as deputy battalion commander of ordinary infantry battalions, regimental chief of staff, and divisional combat staff in the second-line army.
Even if that doesn't work, you can go to the garrison division.
And this kind of arrangement doesn't take much effort, he can arrange it himself.
He already had an arrangement in mind, but he didn't say anything, let alone make any promises!
Naturally, there will be no promises for this kind of thing, or even a clear expression of such intentions. After all, it is not a good thing to arrange duties based on human circumstances, and it can easily lead to trouble.
After leaving Ying Yikang's home, Bi Zhian also sighed. He could see that Ying Yikang was actually not very satisfied with him. His good attitude now was purely for the sake of fighting side by side in the past.
As for whether the northwest can be mobilized in the end, I'm afraid we still have to say two things.
But Ying Yikang was already the biggest supporter he could find, so he could only wait.
While waiting, Bi's father was not idle. Although he had retired for many years and had almost used his favors, he could not play a big role, but Xu Yong could still play a role.
In recent years, Bi's father has been worried about Bi Zhian's future.
As a retired major general, the baron did not enjoy the blessings. He often shamelessly participated in social interactions, eating and drinking with him, just to maintain a slight relationship with some military generals.
But Bi Zhian knew that at this time, these relationships were of little use.
Time gradually passed, and Bi Zhian continued to work in the staff department. When he got home from get off work in the evening, he saw his father waiting for him, as if something was wrong.
Sure enough, when he entered the living room, Bi's father spoke first: "I just got news from an old friend today. If nothing else, this classmate of yours is about to go to the northwest front!"
At this time, I heard Bi's father say in an envious tone: "The commander of the 31st Infantry Division, although he is not a combat readiness division, at this juncture, he can still grab a good infantry division. Looking at it,
There are not many people in the Army who can do it!"
"I heard that several deputy envoys of the Privy Council personally resigned for the position of commander of the Thirty-first Infantry Division. In the end, it was Minister Hao who made the final decision in person!"
"If I had had such a relationship with him, why would I have retired?" When Bi's father said this, he was full of sighs!
Bi Zhi'an, on the other hand, did not answer the question because it was not suitable to say it: as a human being, you still need to be self-aware!
