Chapter 1752: Fourteen. Yam Liza (21)

While the two fleet commanders on the day were digging pits for their opponents in adversity, the Yamaliza stronghold on the ground was still there. A group of Principality generals with different units hung on the stars was carrying out another form. battle".
"What a gaffe! This officer strongly demands that the Navy be held accountable! Major General Kolchak must thank His Majesty the Tsar and all the citizens!!"
Fortress Commander General Anatoly Mihanovich Strsell screamed at the table, as if sitting across from Admiral Makarov, but Admiral Kolchak. What is going on at the moment is not a coordination meeting on defense of the fortress, but a conviction meeting of the military court.
Of course, this is acting, and everyone here knows this. No matter how you say, Kolchak is also a major general. No matter what the final battle is, what to do with conviction, it is the Navy’s own internal affairs. Even the Czar and the noble ministers of the State Dumali, they can exert pressure and can reprimand the performance of the navy, but the navy handles it in administrative procedures. These things are nowhere near as good as the Army. Half of the army’s performance was due to the instinctive response of the battle for military services, and the other half was a kind of restraint made to strengthen the army’s management authority at the Yarmiza base.
Landlords and slaves-This is a consistent pattern of power distribution by the Principality military. The general direction is now the same. After all, the Army is the decisive force that determines the life and death of the Principality. The Navy is strategically only an auxiliary force on the flanks of the Army. Only in recent years, with the rise of air power, by turning to air development, the navy was able to increase its voice, and it was even on an equal footing with the army in the base of Yarmiza. This naturally dissatisfied with the army system that has always regarded itself as the "big brother", and finding all opportunities to establish its own aviation force has become a consensus within the army. Now there is a great opportunity to come to the door, without others reminding, Strsell also knows what to do.
Fleet battle is winning or losing, how much is lost, whether the goal is achieved-these are not important, at least not so important for the army. What the Army needs is the reason "to face the enemy that is inferior in both quantity and quality, but still cause damage to His Majesty's warships", in order to strengthen the legitimacy of the establishment of the Army's own airpower, and justly weaken the Navy.
Others, such as the gendarmerie system and Okrana, will not behave as explicit as the Army, but they will tend to support the Army’s movements so that when the Army eats meat, they can get some bones to solve the greed.
Hyena and vulture.
Admiring Makarov thought of these two scavengers without seeing the heads of the army admirers and the gendarmerie, secret police, and security police acting as onlookers.
Whenever animal corpses are exposed in the wilderness, the "scavengers" will always arrive as scheduled. The order of the meal is that the hyena first mouths, and the vulture cleans the hyena without eating the clean residue.
It is exactly the same as the group of uniformed scavengers.
If you can, the old man would like to pull out his pistol now, blast off the dross of skulls in front of him, and see what stuff is underneath.
What time is it now? Enemy fleets are coming to the door! This group of guys are still thinking about pulling their hind legs and splitting their interests?! Are they soldiers in the Principality? Or are they Lapland spies breaking into the Principality? Otherwise Will such a horrible and frightening thing be done? For the victory of the war, for the Antai of the Principality, perhaps let the navy subordinate officers rush in with a knife, shouting "Tianzhu Kingdom Thief", chopping this bunch of into pieces and throwing them to the dog It's a good choice...
It’s so hell, what am I thinking about.
The old man sighed in his heart and gave up those tempting ideas.
He knew it was a farce, and every participant knew it, but it’s ridiculous that no one wanted to end the farce. Everyone was like a nightmare, faithfully playing his assigned role, saying fixed 'S lines, staged third-rate drama, no one wants to come up with an end to this ridiculous everything.
This is the so-called politics, a politics that is dirty, absurd, serious, funny, cruel, and cold. Anyone who participates in it can't get rid of it. Even if you feel absurd and disgusted in the bottom of your heart, you still have to be serious to the last minute.
No one can make an exception, nor can Admiral Makarov.
The old man could not change the rules of the game, but he knew how to counter the absurd demands of the Army within the rules.
"We all know the intentions of the army."
The old man glanced calmly at the naval recorder. The young man nodded vigorously, beckoning that he did work seriously, and recorded all the speeches of the army.
"We deeply feel the Army's worries about the country and also recognize the Army's concern for the Navy."
The polite words are not showing weakness, but the beginning of a counterattack.
"The navy wants to confirm, does the army want to cross the majesty of the tsar and the administration and directly command the navy?"
"No, Your Admiral, the Army and I have never meant that! Please do not distort my statement."
Strsell almost jumped from his chair and pointed at the navy in front of him.
The Army directly controlled the navy over His Majesty the Tsar... Anyone with a little political sense of smell would immediately think of words such as "rebellion", "coup", "Xia Ke Shang" and so on. If there is a big trouble, the army personnel will be convicted of "great disrespect", "improper speech", and "offending commandership". Luck almost, let alone the whole family dragged out to the guillotine, it is possible that relatives and friends were implicated in eating bullets.
"I mean, now that the fighting is in full swing, we must clarify the issues and authorities in order to fight better."
In the face of the Admiral's ulterior motives and digging, Strsell had to make concessions, but only one step. And even this small step does not affect Strsell’s adherence to his own claims.
"The Army has reason to believe that the outcome of ground combat can determine the outcome of the war. Since the Army is responsible for the most and most critical tasks, the Navy should of course cooperate with the Army's actions."
His claim seems reasonable and reasonable~EbookFREE.me~The concession is just right. But in many cases, even just one step back, it will attract a fierce counterattack.
"If you can't maintain the supply line and send bread, weapons and ammunition to the front, it is difficult to open the situation on the ground. Whether the supply line is smooth is the key to determining the battle situation. This fleet war is the relationship. To the decisive battle that the supply line can maintain. Can we then follow your logic to determine that the Army should cooperate fully with the Navy’s actions?"
"Too bad! The Army will never admit this kind of thing!"
"Everything is for victory. Lord General, for victory, for His Majesty, for the country, we always have to get used to something. If breaking conventions and traditions can bring victory, then we should not hesitate Do it!"
"Admiral Stepan Osipovich Makarov! You are a major transgression! This is a violation of command! It is a rebellion! It is -!!!"
"You can do whatever you say. As long as you win, there will be no complaints? General Anatoly Mihanovich Strsell, please remember one thing and hide behind safe, It is very easy and pleasant to point the finger at the warriors who are struggling to die in the front line, but it is impossible to win the battle by this, and it is even more insignificant in the face of victory and results."
After patting the table vigorously, the admiral picked up his military cap and took a large admiral's step out of the meeting room, leaving behind a room full of military police, Xian Te, and a flushed army general.
"The officer will also patrol the defense of the fortress, and I will not accompany you. If you want to continue to discuss what crimes should be given to the officer, please help yourself."
The contemptuous words floated across the half-covered gate, and they beat General Admiral Strsell like a leather whip.
