Section 32 Serial Killings 5
readx;
It should be said that Faragu's idea still touched the hearts of some of the parliamentarians present to a considerable extent, after all, in the past two years, Xijiang has been continuously conquering and opening up in the south of the eastern continent, from Tiannan to Burma, from Burma to the peninsula region, and has extended its sphere of influence to the heel of the alliance step by step, and the pressure it brings can be imagined, especially from the parliamentarians and city-states bordering the peninsula region in the east。 Pen & Fun & Cabinet www.biquge.info If it is really as beautiful as Farragul's idea, solve the problem once and for all, I believe that every member of parliament will agree to send troops, but is this the case?
"General Farragut, I think you might be taking it for granted. First of all, you are neither the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces nor the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, you are only the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and military operations on land are probably not as simple as you think. According to what you said, we only need to go through the motions to reap the fruits of victory, and if so, of course, everyone will be happy, but is there such a good thing in the world? You seem to be suspected of insulting the wisdom of the Maqi Khans, and Bi Xili and Lei Juetian will have so much goodwill and favor towards our Nanyang Alliance? I'm afraid not. "It's still the yin and yang Congressman Metz, who unceremoniously wants to puncture the commander-in-chief of the navy to blow a soap bubble into a group of parliamentarians, "If the Macekhans really had that strength, Legon should have been in their hands a long time ago, and their army would not have stopped at the Three Jewels." What was the purpose of inviting us to send troops? Did they really invite us to their feast? Oh, then the Machihans had really become great good men. In my personal opinion, this time we will send troops too risky, and it is very likely that the gains will outweigh the losses. ”
As a senior member of the Military Council, Metz's opinion is still quite influential in the Alliance Parliament, and some members who have a deeper understanding of the current situation mostly agree with Metz's opinion, but Farragour's statement still has considerable temptation, after all, it can eradicate the threat from the western frontier, and this opportunity to miss this time is indeed not repeated.
"Councillor Mez, although the Machihans have suffered some setbacks in Legon, but the fact that they can bypass Legon and occupy the Three Treasures is enough to show that they have the ability to finally win this battle, and now it is only a matter of time before Legon falls, once Legon is captured, then the people of Xiangxi will no longer have any troops stationed, and it will be easy to take the entire peninsula, if our alliance army joins, I believe that this battle will end faster, and it can also win more benefits for our alliance, especially the recovery of the Marbun Islands and the acquisition of the three good ports in the peninsula region。 The Macekhans have made it clear that they will not make any claims to the three major port cities, they only want to obtain the right of entry and exit of a free port of goods, as long as we send troops, all the rights and interests of the Three Treasures, Moro, and Eastern Samoa will belong to the Alliance, and whether these three city-states will join our Alliance as equals or as vassals will be subject to the dictation of our Union Council. ”
Farraghu also knows that it is far easier to persuade these merchant councilors with benefits, the commercial and trade rights of the three port cities are too tempting for these councillors who have always wanted to get involved in the commercial interests of the peninsula, if these three cities are turned into vassals of the alliance, almost everyone can get a spoonful of the soup here, and whether this spoonful of soup can be enjoyed is not a matter for Farraghu to consider, and the bait thrown by Farago is difficult for some greedy councillors to refuse.
"General Deaton, what do you think as the commander-in-chief of our alliance's army?" Coughing lightly, the indifferent Speaker Colter finally interjected, although he couldn't see any inclination from his face, but since he asked the Commander-in-Chief of the Army's opinion, it was enough to show that Speaker Colter was interested in the topic of Farragul. The commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the alliance is concurrently the speaker, but the real major matters involving the interests of the entire alliance such as sending troops to war, first need to obtain the consent of the parliamentary military committee before making a formal proposal to the parliamentary assembly, and then submit it to the speaker for approval after the parliamentary assembly votes and finally issue an order before entering the substantive surname。
In fact, Deatun's proposal to Farragu is not unmoved at all, after all, being able to eradicate the threat of Western Xinjiang is also the most desired thing for the army, but Deaun's war between Western Xinjiang and the Maqi Khans is a little different from Farragu's simple fanaticism, he not only analyzed the early war situation between the Western Xinjiang and the Maqi Khans, but also analyzed and predicted the prospects of the civil war in the Tang River Empire, and also combined the overall strength of the war between the Western Xinjiang and the Maqi Khans, and finally came to the conclusion that although the Western Xinjiang is currently at a disadvantage in this battle, if the war continues, the final victory will belong to the Western Xinjiang peopleEven if the Nanyang Alliance joins the side of the Macedhans, it may be able to obtain some benefits in a short time, but if the Macedhans cannot fully control the northern part of the peninsula, then these so-called attractive interests are like usury, and sooner or later they will be recovered by the Westerners or even pay much heavier interest than Ben, as evidenced by the last war.
"Speaker, on behalf of the Army, I would like to express my opposition to the sending of troops. The reason is very simple, we have already said, we believe that the Maqi Khans do not have the strength to completely occupy the peninsula, especially Legon and Kutdam are still in the hands of the Western Xinjiang, which makes our army have to doubt whether the Maqi Khans have the strength to win this battle, and the premise of the beautiful promise made by General Faragu must be based on the fact that the Maqi Khans can completely control the northern part of the peninsula for us to block the pace of the Western Xinjiang people from moving south, if the Maqi Khans can't do this, even if we temporarily occupy the three port cities, what can we doI don't see any good in attracting more violent retaliation from the people of Western Xinjiang. Personally, I think General Farragut's advice will lead the Alliance down the path of destruction. ”
The expressionless Didon did not even glance at the commander-in-chief of the navy who was flushed with anger, and expounded his views on his own, his attitude was so clear and not unexpected by the parliamentarians, firstly, the relationship between the army and the navy was not good, and the personal relationship between Admiral Didon and General Farraghu was also incompatible, and the arguments put forward were quite solid, so far the Macedhans had not achieved a decent result, and now the people of the Western Xinjiang have only invested the regular army of two army corps for defense, this situation is difficult to believe that the Maqihans can succeed。
After a while, Colter was scarred by the opinion of the commander-in-chief of the army, the scars of the last time are still there, if he moves again, he is afraid that even his position as speaker will be shaken, but he also knows that there are many parliamentarians who support Farragul's views, especially those of coastal countries and city-states, if he says no, he may attract their dissatisfaction.
"General Didon, do you mean that no matter how many troops our alliance invests to join the side of the Macedhans, it will not be able to ensure victory in this battle?"
Of course, the commander-in-chief of the army heard the tendency of the speaker's attitude, and he was a little hesitant, but thinking about this matter is not trivial, if he does not truthfully express his opinion, if he loses the matter, he may even be sent to the gallows, and he does not want to become the first army commander to be sent to the gallows for this reason.
"My lord, I beg your pardon for not being able to answer this question with absolute affirmativeness or no, well, if the Coalition can mobilize between 350,000 and 400,000 troops for war, I think maybe we can help the Macekhans through this. ”
Although the Commander-in-Chief of the Army replied very reluctantly, and the mobilization of 350,000 troops was almost an impossible thing for the Alliance, Colt couldn't manage so much, and the other party finally did not directly deny the possibility of sending troops, which made Colt very pleased, and he could be regarded as having an explanation to those Southern legislators who strongly advocated sending troops, as for whether he could pass the military committee and the parliamentary assembly, it was not his responsibility and obligation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have all heard the views and opinions of our Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, as well as some parliamentarians, on whether or not to accept the invitation of the Macedhans to send troops to the peninsula, and the matter of sending troops is very important, and it can even be said that it is related to the life and death of our alliance, and I propose that the parliamentarians can consider and discuss this matter today and tomorrow, and they can also solicit the views of some people concerned on this issue, and the day after tomorrow, we will ask the Military Council to discuss and decide on this matter first, and if the Military Council discusses and approves the proposal to send troops, we will hold a parliamentary assembly to vote and make a final decision。 ”
The gavel slammed on the rostrum, and the crisp sound of the knock made the council hall quiet all of a sudden, "Okay, this is the end of today's discussion at the meeting, and the councillors and gentlemen can carefully consider whether to send troops in the next two days, and I hope that the meeting the day after tomorrow can make a wise decision on the future of our alliance." Adjourned!"
