Chapter 105 Deputy Commander

The world is unpredictable. Sometimes the development of something will be a big drop, but after careful consideration, I find that in addition to envy and complaining, it is an irrefutable fact. Just like the hotly discussed new deputy commander Major General Huo Xiu, he was only an ordinary lieutenant colonel a month ago. He was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by his superiors at a young age, which made others want to deal with his rapid promotion.

But as the saying goes, a mule is a horse. If you pull it out, you will know whether it is true or false. In any way, he has enough ability. The hell-like training in his youth was not in vain. He shined brilliantly in this civil strife. At a young age, he climbed the steps of a general and served as the deputy commander-in-chief of a colonial star army.

How big is the colonial star? At least three or four times that of the earth, the land area is more vast, and the land and air force is more than 1 million. In the whole planet, except for the commander-in-chief, he holds all the military power. In addition, Roger Eaton is his uncle, which is basically a military leader who dominates one side.

But anyone who is familiar with Huo Xiu is very clear that no matter what happens to him, it will not be surprising. This time it is just a small appearance. His great journey has taken the first step, and the small colonial star can't accommodate a flame called "ambit ambition" that is gradually burning in his heart.

......

After the battle, Huo Xiu stayed in the southern continent for three days, mainly planning the security and defense work of the mainland. As the head of the military region, he had the right to plan the southern military region and left about 50,000 defenders to protect the southern continent.

Then, he began to cross the ocean with his 150,000 troops and flew more than 5,000 kilometers to another northern continent affected by the war. It is said that Lieutenant General Roger Eaton also commanded the army to fight here, but due to the adequate preparation of the rebels and the strong strategy of starting first, the whole colonial star has almost nothing to stand out except for the few victories won by Huo Xiu, and the enemy is too fierce.

It is no wonder that it only took more than 20 days to develop from a close match, to each other's stalemate, and finally to retreat step by step. The actual command ability of the generals of the alliance was confirmed in the sudden outbreak of the war. Usually, those beautiful generals could talk nonsense and waited for the enemy When the army moved seriously, it was already good without fear of peeing in his pants.

Although this cannot be generalized, it is indeed a portrayal of most senior officers. Although on the surface, they are all soldiers who serve together and the alliance, the factional dispute makes people in the senior commander class almost be said to be indiscriminate. People with real talent do not have excellent * or join some I'm afraid that the powerful faction is unlikely to want to enter the official gate.

This model is not a secret in the army. Huo Xiu is well clear that if there is no war, this model can also maintain a delicate balance. People from different factions today will pull a descendant today, and tomorrow I will not be willing to show weakness and promote a descendant. The people of the highest class (Military Commission) will keep it. With tacit understanding, let this equation continue, which explains that if you don't have a relationship, don't think that someone will pull you to the top.

But the war destroys this model mercilessly. Do you let an ordinary talent deal with the command talent cultivated by the rebels? To fight with the enemy mercilessly on the battlefield? Use all kinds of strategies and tactics? Don't hurt their brain cells. How can fat senior officials know this? They usually play tricks on their own people and attack each other like a politician. They are good at this. But the real war can only make the enemy generals laugh proudly after every victory.

The enemy is different. They have planned for more than 20 years, and most of their forces are distributed in the vast and remote colonial areas. They must have encountered more actual combat than officers in nearby areas. What's more, this kind of thing is very dangerous to implement. If they don't have talent, they will never be used.

As a result, as long as the war continues, the alliance will develop from the initial evenness to the current defeat. This is not unfounded.

At least half of senior officials have this phenomenon. However, talented people are not excluded. For example, Brigadier General Li Jinghui, who is highly recognized by Huo Xiu, as the commander of an ace division, is not comparable to ordinary officers in terms of tactics or strategy. Even in a short period of time, the talented Zhao Yong is still not his opponent. But it is also proportional to the number of times Zhao Yong participated in the war. Huo Zheng keeps trying to improve him - he actually regards Zhao Yong as his successor in the land battle in his heart. After all, his goal is still yearning for the space of the alliance.

On the third day of the army's assembly, Huo Xiu launched several multi-faceted battles in a row and took the lead in eliminating some enemy troops stationed hundreds of kilometers around. He seems relaxed to command in this regard, but for some alliance officers, the process of deadlock with the enemy is a chronic suicide.

"Sir, this is the distribution map of the area currently occupied by the enemy. They are trying to surround the entire alliance force step by step. If we hadn't come to reinforce in time, I'm afraid it would have continued. The more than 100,000 alliance troops active here would have been finished." Li Jinghui personally reported the current situation to Huo Xiu.

"I really doubt whether those officers are all rice buckets."

Seeing this situation that was about to retreat, Marikov naturally said these words. He didn't care. There were no outsiders present, and everyone was used to his complaints. It's not surprising. Although Li Jinghui has not been with this group of young people for a long time, he is bold and likes to speak out. When he meets talented people, he will have a sense of confidant. If he is annoyed, he will even curse. If Xia Weijian hadn't taken care of him in his lifetime, I'm afraid it wouldn't be his turn to be the brigadier.

"With the general here, I don't worry about the problem here." Zhao Yong looked at Huo Xiu and obviously trusted him. "But isn't everything that happened here a microcosm of the alliance?"

"Yes, the alliance is worrying." The careless Lovell rarely frowns, "Our group of people are fighting desperately here, but the victory or defeat of space determines everything, so that the group of officers who have no ability at all to fight against the prepared rebels, hey..."

"Look, young people." Li Jinghui said to them, "We haven't started this battle yet. Do we have to be ready to surrender one by one?"

"I also want to be open, but I'm more worried about if there is a notice from the sky one day: 'The last rebels (alliance), now you have been surrounded. Don't escape and surrender immediately. We will give you a way to live, otherwise!" Marikov said strangely, and then looked at the crowd, "What do you think of this effect?"

"So what do you want to express, a serious protest against the alliance?" Huo Xiu hasn't said much, and he is actually a little uncertain about the future of the league.

"That's a must." Marikov looked at Li Jinghui beside him, "As far as General Li is concerned, he is nearly 50 or 60 years old. If he has turned to some big factions, I'm afraid he will be a lieutenant general now. No matter how bad he is, he is still a major general. How can he still grow old in the name of a brigadier general?"

"You are going to curse me, aren't you?" Li Jinghui stared at Marikov, "Besides, have you ever seen a lieutenant general in his fifties?"

"Let's talk about things, talk about things." Marikov waved his hand and smiled awkwardly.

"But don't argue with me. The commander is already close to the lieutenant general. According to the standards of the law, the deputy of the military region must be at least a lieutenant general."

"Well, well, have you had enough complaints?" Huo Xiu looked at the crowd. He knew very well that these words were only spoken because everyone was an acquaintance. If you put it outside, these words would completely become: Long live the alliance, do your best for the alliance, and die.

Everyone nodded and said a lot of words in their hearts. The psychological fatigue of several days of war has really eased a lot, but everyone knows in their hearts that although they complain about all the wrongs of the alliance, after all, the people living under the light of the alliance are more or less inclined to the alliance.

"Since you have been struggling with this, I will also talk about my opinion." Huo Xiu said, "What you guess is only in the early stage of the war. Although there is a little problem with the current alliance system, it is still a huge thing, and senior officials are not fools. After continuous fighting, more shining points will be excavated from buried talents, such as you. Let me use Zhao Yong as an example. As my most optimistic army commander, I think he can be promoted to brigadiers in a year or two. Since he can do it, on the large part, tens of thousands of such people will be promoted to reverse the situation of war.

"It makes sense."

The adults agreed with this. At this time, quiet Eleanor said, "But this process takes time to dig. Now you have a wise commander leading, which is equivalent to standing on the starting line earlier than others. What does this mean? I don't need to say more?"

Huo Xiu gave her a thumb with a smile, and Eleanor responded with a smile.

"Since Captain Cruz has pointed this out, there will be many practical combat commands coming to you next." Huo Xiu looked at everyone and said, "These are all opportunities. That's all I can say. Dude, I can only help you get here at most."

Everyone laughed.

But how can people who can take Huo Xiu take it seriously have mediocrity? These are all very talented people in all fields. Although they can't be promoted like him, when the battles accumulate and reach a certain level, they will naturally develop in the expected direction.

On the other hand, the advent of war is equivalent to a catalyst. Gradually, this group of people will form outstanding military talents centered on Huo Xiu, laying the foundation of a core group.
