Chapter 2: Flying Clouds (Revision)

"Ladies and gentlemen, the war has been going on for more than two years, but up to now, the Allied armies have not yet had a complete command system. Therefore, what we need is a strategic plan that can be drawn up, which has a bearing on the entire situation of the war, and that can coordinate the military forces of various countries and act in unison on all battlefields. ”

When Douglas. After Haig finished his opinion, General Xiafei's originally elated heart calmed down, but his brain was even more excited.

"Supreme Commander of the Allied Combined Command!"

Undoubtedly, this was an extremely attractive position, and it was a position that was worth putting effort into implementation for the generals of the British and French armies, who had the most troops and resources in the Entente powers.

At this time, Haig's speech had changed the direction of the conference, but Xia Fei, as the presiding officer of the conference, did not stop it, and pulled the direction of the conference back to the offensive side mentioned in his speech. Because as far as he is concerned, he has a greater yearning for the post of commander-in-chief of the Entente.

He stroked his sea-like, thick, stiff mustache, and his eyes whispered to Douglas. Haig looked over.

He had just aroused the discussion of the representatives of various countries about this matter, and he had no expression on his face, just sipping his bitter tea without taking a sip.

"Do you want this position too? Hum! I don't think you can do it, it's okay for an officer like you to go to a charge or something, but it's not okay to be the commander of the entire Allied army, because that would completely bury all the strength of our Entente in a short period of time......"

Although, Xia Fei's desire for the position made him inclined to belittle Douglas. Sir Haig, but there is some truth in his assessment.

(The first release of this book) does not laugh at group A: 35761481

In the current war, many battles have been fought against Haig, a cavalryman through and through. He was not very interested in new weapons in the war.

He once said: "The machine gun is a superfluous weapon", and he had a similar opinion about the use of tanks. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that Haig did not refuse to use new weapons in this war because of this.

This is also what makes Xia Fei bad for him, in his opinion, a perfect general must be keenly aware of the new war machine, the great power to change the style of war, if he can't recognize this, then he must not be a very good general.

Xia Fei himself was born as an engineer commander, and his familiarity with machinery made him somewhat enthusiastic about new weapons, especially now that he was a Mike Commander. The leaders of some of the shareholders of Prince were recognized by the front-line military commanders and the majority of parliamentarians represented by Nancy.

"It's that kid who linked our interests, and everyone rallied to me because of their interests, and as for the position of commander of the coalition forces, ......"

It is worth illustrating in Douglas. Before Sir Haig proposed this position, Xia Fei had no extravagant expectations for this position, after all, his crisis of confidence had only just been resolved.

As mentioned earlier, the rivalry between the politicians in Paris, and the desire for decisive progress in the war, led to a crisis of confidence among the parliamentarians in the commander-in-chief of the French army, Chauffeur.

Of course, Xia Fei felt the crisis, especially since France has always had a "tradition" of distrusting the generals on the front line, for the simple reason that these generals could not consolidate their position in Paris when they were fighting on the front line.

But now the situation has completely changed, and not only the councillors of Nancy City have begun to support Xiafei, but the officers on the front line have also begun to talk in favor of Xiafei. If you want to investigate the reason, Xia Fei's heart is very clear.

"It's all because of that eagle-like guy!"

His Mike. The huge interests of the Prince Company united the councillors of Nancy City under two enterprises, one being Mike Brown. Prince & Co., the other one is owned by Caser. The latest venture founded by Congressman Merlin is the Merlin Military Company, which produces mainly consumables for the French army's equipment.

Including medical, food, clothing and other products. Especially Cather. Mr. Newly Invented, and approved by the French Association of Sciences, is the shock defibrillator. Now that the patent has been registered, he will equip the field hospitals of the French army on the front line.

And this company, too, has absorbed a lot of capital from the residents of Nancy, including the investment of a large number of parliamentarians. And these parliamentarians are now also inclined to him because of their interests.

"This kid is really capable!"

This is Xia Fei's evaluation of Tang Yunyang, although it is not clear that Cather's "invention" has anything to do with Tang Yunyang, but their relationship on the surface is obvious.

The most beautiful and richest girl in Nancy - Jane. Merlin had completely captured her heart by Tang Yunyang, and everything seemed so natural and harmonious.

It is the connection based on these capital actions that makes Xia Fei close to the relationship with politicians and front-line officers, and also makes Xia Fei have new ideas while maintaining a stable position. And this thought is nothing more than Douglas, who was thinking about him in front of him, the cup of bitter tea. Sir Haig had just reminded him of the highest military position on the part of the Allies.

The cyan slightly fragrant cigar smoke erupted from Xia Fei's walrus-like beard, and through the smoke you could see the happy expression in Xia Fei's eyes, and it was guessed that he already had a rough idea of the military position he longed for.

"Everyone!"

Xia Fei once again puffed out a large puff of smoke, owing to himself, this time he wanted to come up with some proof of the reliability of his offensive plan, and strengthen the determination of these friends to attack. It was also a great opportunity for him to serve the company and his parliamentarian partners.

"I suggest that we can take the time being, after all, the schedule of the past few days is relatively tight, and the gentlemen must be a little tired. Tomorrow, we will have a small military exercise outside the city for everyone to visit. I would like to remind you that this exercise is top secret, and for the sake of the ultimate victory of our Entente, you must keep this secret for as long as possible. ”

Xia Fei's temporary recess will make Douglas. Haig was surprised that the hot-tempered fellow was not upset that he had just disturbed the issue, but why did he propose this puzzling adjournment?

"Does he already have a means to attain the highest military position of the Entente?"

Xia Fei stood up triumphantly, his whole body shrouded in a large cloud of smoke.

"Well, if I want this to succeed, then I need a guy who can come up with some conspiracy!"
