234 Can't hold it

Li Mu doesn't know how to fight?

When Alfred Mahan heard this, Mahan would be the first to disagree. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mu was an otaku before he crossed over, yes, but otaku is not useless, as far as Li Muhui's little thing, if it is placed in the 21st century, chatting and bragging with people on the Internet may be a little insufficient, but in the 19th century, Li Mu casually threw out a few terms, which is enough for the tactics masters of this era to regard as a treasure.

Of course, this also depends on who to talk to, Li Mu just casually mentioned the "theory of sea power" to Ma Han, and Ma Han will immediately develop a series of his own military ideas around the "theory of sea power". And Li Mu proposed a "straggler line" to Will, but was mercilessly ridiculed by Will.

Well, that's the difference between a genius and a mortal.

"Field warfare is not the only form of war, encounters under specific conditions are not representative, and attacking tough battles is the normal form of war, Will, you are no longer a grassroots officer during the Civil War, you should raise your own horizons, so that you can keep up with the improvement of your status." Li Mu is no longer entangled with Will in one city and one place, and the fake big empty from a high house is what Li Mu is good at.

In fact, Will's attitude towards the "skirmishers" can also be understood, everyone has their own class limitations, and Will is the same, during the Civil War, Will was just a low-level officer, and now at least he is also a middle-level officer, and is developing to the top, if Will's eyes are still on his own one-third of an acre, then Will's future in the army is not clear, maybe going back to Springfield as a sheriff is Will's best choice.

"Who says I'm not studying?" Will said that Shibei should be impressed for three days.

Oh, oh, Li Mu almost forgot that in Springfield, Will's bedside still had "On War" and "Introduction to the Art of War".

"Well, what have you learned? Don't you know that theory is linked to practice? Li Mu continued to build from a high position.

This-

I guess Will has never heard of this sentence, and the great man who officially proposed it in another time and space should not have been born yet.

"Hmph, Goethe also told us that experience is the eternal teacher." It is true that Will has never heard of the phrase "theory is linked to practice", but this does not prevent Will from understanding the meaning of this sentence, and it seems that there are many similar ideas in the West.

That's right, after all, this sentence is also a conclusion reached by summarizing the experience of predecessors.

"If that's what you say, then you should set up a heavy cavalry unit similar to that of the Middle Ages." Li Mu gave up convincing Will, and it seemed that he had to use external forces to change Will's mind.

"That's exactly what I thought, but first there must be light cavalry, and then there must be heavy cavalry." Will's answer was beyond Li Mu's expectations.

Li Mu suddenly went berserk, so angry that he didn't eat anymore, this guy is really an old stubborn.

It's still Sandy's caring, watching Li Mu leave the restaurant in a huff, Sandy caught up and comforted Li Mu: "Don't be sad, although Will doesn't admit it, I think Will has accepted your words, he is always so duplicitous." ”

In other words, is it really good for you to arrange your father behind your back in order to comfort Li Mu?

"I'm fine, let's go to dinner, we're going to San Diego tomorrow, and I'll take you to have a good time then." Li Mu was still a little moved, and decided to take Sandy to San Diego tomorrow to buy and buy.

Hmmm, to show gratitude to women, this way is absolutely correct, whether it is a woman or a girl, the real young and old take it all.

Well, Li Mu really didn't go to San Diego to curry favor with Sandy, but to attend a conference.

George Dewey repelled the Spaniards, so the next work needs to be rearranged, George Dewey is in danger, since the crisis has temporarily passed, then it is necessary to confirm the ownership of the command, and at the same time arrange the next work, so this meeting will be attended by the leaders of the government of the Republic of Cuba.

Will was very dissatisfied with Li Mu leaving directly from the table, and when he got on the boat, he was still shouting Li Mu "be careful", Li Mu was not polite, and hit back at Will with "old stubbornness", and the two hurt each other all the way, until they arrived at the San Diego barracks, Li Mu and Will temporarily stopped.

After repelling the Spaniards, George Dewey left only a small number of men to defend El Cristo and returned to San Diego with most of his troops to continue training and prepare for the next battle.

George Dewey brought back a bit more soldiers, and during this time, the San Diego barracks were constantly recruiting new soldiers, so the size of the barracks was unusable and could not accommodate all the soldiers, so George Dewey had to build two new barracks near the old barracks.

The two new barracks are larger than the original ones, each of which can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers, and after the completion of the two barracks, these three barracks can train 30,000 soldiers at the same time, and the Republic of Cuba will have the ability to counterattack in a maximum of one year.

Before the formal meeting, Li Mu and the others had to unify their thoughts first, which was why Li Mu came to San Diego a day earlier.

Will and George Dewey they met in Springfield, so this time they met, several people were a little bit of a "foreign acquaintance" feeling, Li Mu needless to say, although each has its own responsibility, but Li Mu and George Dewey They have always been a whole, so there is no need for too many greetings, Li Mu just got off the carriage, and the internal meeting began immediately.

"Two days ago, Caspar Hardy sent someone over and asked to transfer some of the troops to maintain stability in San Diego, I didn't agree, and now Rayleigh Toynbee's men are at the barracks gate, what should we do?" George Dewey had a bit of a headache.

To Li Mu's surprise, the new president of the Republic of Cuba was not Darwin Andrew or Rayleigh Toynbee, but former Vice President Caspar Hardy, which Li Mu understood as the product of a compromise between the conservatives and liberals of the Republic of Cuba.

Of course, this president is meaningless, Darwin Andrew can do Cespedes, then he can also kill Caspar Hardy, it doesn't matter who is in power, it matters who is in power.

The problem is that if the army is regarded as the greatest right, the army of the Republic of Cuba is in the hands of George Dewey, no, the battle of El Cristo has just ended, the threat of the Spaniards has not been completely swept away, and the conservatives and liberals have reverted to their old ways, and it seems that the desire for power is really tempting.

"What's Caspar Hardy's attitude?" Li Mu has been in Guantanamo lately, and he is not aware of the latest developments on Santiago's side.

"Nothing new, like Darwin Andrew, Caspar Hardy promised that as long as we cooperate with the new government of the Republic of Cuba, then the new government will ensure our interests." George Dewey looked sarcastic and didn't seem to have a good impression of Caspar Hardy.

"Leave them alone, no matter what they say, the army must be in our hands, if the army is really given to them, I am afraid that they will be unscrupulous." Li Mu was already impatient, the current situation was different from before the Battle of El Christo, if Darwin Andrew and Caspar Hardy didn't know what to do, Li Mu wouldn't mind washing Santiago.

"I'm wondering, why don't we give up on El Christo?" Benjamin sighed in the corner of the conference room.

Give up Al Christo!

This is really a desperate plan, if you give up El Cristo, then the Spaniards will drive straight in, and the defenseless Santiago will definitely be broken, if Li Mu sees death and doesn't save it, wait until everything settles and then come out to clean up the mess-

Uh-uh, that picture is too beautiful to look at.

"There is no need for this for the time being-" Li Mu doesn't want to do this now, the key is that he has not found a suitable spokesperson yet, otherwise Li Mu will not mind sweeping away the conservatives and liberals and replacing all the top levels of the government of the Republic of Cuba with his own people.

"But if they continue to do this, sooner or later we will have to." George Dewey is not a good stubble, anyway, the dead are Cubans, and they have nothing to do with George Dewey.

"Then get ready, first of all, make sure that the army is under our control." Li Mu is not soft, it seems that he wants to speed up the search for an agent.

"Hehe, no problem, in fact, the army is under our control now, El Cristo is still fighting very badly, the Spaniards are withdrawn in disarray, and our people are also suffering heavy casualties." George Dewey smirked.

Li Mu saw it very clearly, when he said "our people", the ridicule on the corner of George Dewey's mouth flashed away, thinking of how many 7,000 casualties, Li Mu suddenly understood something.

After the capture of Bayamo by the Spaniards, Rayleigh Toynbee was forced to hand over command of his troops to George Dewey, and it is certain that Rayleigh Toynbee must have planted a lot of pawns in the army.

George Dewey was not stupid, and taking advantage of the Battle of Elcristo, it seems that George Dewey did a lot of personal goods while fighting against the Spaniards.

At the level of George Dewey, many times the casualties of the troops were just a number.

"Very well, then Your Excellency Marshal, I will leave the affairs of the troops to you." Li Mu was satisfied with George Dewey's performance, and having such an assistant did save Li Mu a lot of trouble.

George Dewey smiled slightly, and his face was unyielding.

"Then in the next period of time, we still have to strengthen the training of the troops, we must ensure that at least 40,000 troops are available at any time, after the baptism of this battle, I believe that many recruits have completed the transition to veterans, then we have to prepare for the recapture of Bayamo, only by controlling Bayamo in our hands, can we be a barrier with Santiago, otherwise Santiago will be difficult to survive alone." Li Mu was worried that if Li Mu was Willis Nicolau, then since he had hit the nail in El Cristo, then Li Mu would change his way and attack Santiago from the sea.

The current Republic of Cuba does not have a navy, and if Willis Nicolas does this, the Republic of Cuba will not be able to hold Santiago even with the help of the Americans.
