Chapter 400 Military Aircraft Department

Easier said than done.

Although they said they wanted to take back the West Bank, things were not that simple.

First of all, fighting a war requires a huge amount of logistical supplies, and the annual harvest season will be one and a half months away. The problem of food and grass can be solved, and there are still some stocks of other armaments.

Therefore, these logistics materials can barely support a civil war.

The second is the quality of soldiers.

The 21 recruits have basically completed the recruit training, but there is still a considerable gap in combat effectiveness with the Dynasty West Bank army. If they want to fight a frontal battle, there is not even a [-]% chance of winning.

The third is the problem of crossing the river.

It needs to be known that Veigar does not have a naval fleet in his hands. Although it is still too late to build some ships that can barely cross the river, crossing the river rashly is something that the Royal Army did not dare to do.

Because there is also an air force and two naval fleets on the West Bank.

Once there is an army crossing the river on the east bank, the air force and navy can directly block Vega's army on the Donbu River. Since Vega does not have anti-air force and a regular naval fleet, it is very likely that the entire army will be destroyed if they cannot land on the west bank. Buried in the Donbu River.

The first two questions can be grudgingly addressed.

But this third problem will not be resolved in any case.

In addition to the serious problem of how to cross the river to the west, there is another pressing problem——

Insufficient talent pool.

Since Veigar has always had the character of not being able to trust others, he doesn't have much talent reserves. Now only Ilo and Menno can be trusted, and Veigar doesn't even have 100% trust in these two people.

In other words.

If he personally led the troops to the west, if someone in the court conspired to seize power or drag him down, then it would be of no use even if he took the west bank.

This is where Vega has quite a headache.

In addition, what Vega is even more afraid of is that Xi Ya took the opportunity to get in touch with the government under the instigation of some people, and gradually took control of the power while he was away. When he returns, will the holy dynasty still be his own?

Each of these piles caused Vega a headache.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that compared to the course of the war, the pre-war preparations and the country's government affairs were more confusing and confusing, and it seemed impossible to solve it with his own ability.

Vega has been worrying about this for a week.

It can be said that it has been difficult to sleep and eat this week, and Vega even felt that it was because of this reason that he was not tall.

But finally, after a week, the basic idea has been clarified by Vega.

Veigar first set the time for dispatching troops in one and a half months.

This is late autumn, and it is also the most favorable time to start a war.

Next, Veigar summoned the Minister of Finance.

He first asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to list the chambers of commerce on the east coast that could manufacture ships, and ordered them to start building ships at full speed.These ships are all built according to the standards of merchant ships. Although they don't have enough defense and can barely carry people and things, they are cheap and fast enough to build.

Regarding the construction of the ship, Vega issued another special order——

He had the shipyards build three times as many merchant ships.

These three times are naturally three times the base of 20 soldiers. In other words, what Veigar wants to build is enough to carry 60 people across the West Bank.

"Excuse me, general, why are you building so many ships?"

The Minister of the Exchequer was a little embarrassed: "A large merchant ship can accommodate 2000 people. If it is built with the standard of 20 soldiers, it only needs [-] ships, but to triple it will not only consume a small amount of budget, Even the time may need to be extended by a month.”

"Those are not things I need to think about."

Vega is like a boss who doesn't care about the life and death of the company's employees. He said domineeringly: "I need to see these commercial ships in a month and a half. Whether you force the Chamber of Commerce to work overtime or do it yourself, I just want to see result."

"It is... Your Excellency the General."

The Minister of Finance sighed helplessly. He was single-handedly promoted by Vega. Since Vega asked him to do this, he dared not do it no matter what, because he knew who the most powerful person in the dynasty was. .

Finished the matter with the ship.

Veigar began to deal with major political affairs.

This major political issue is who will lead the overall situation on the east bank when he leads his troops to the west.

Vega intends to hand over this matter to Yiluo.

Yiluo's loyalty can still be trusted, and as an imperial officer, Yiluo is not a veteran of the two dynasties and a 5-star general like Callison. He naturally does not have Vega's reputation in the dynasty, and it is impossible to replace him .

Of course Veigar has the habit of putting all his eggs in one basket.

Taking advantage of the one and a half months before the war, Veigar set up a department called the Military Aircraft Department in the dynasty.

What is the Military Aircraft Department?
This is a system established by Vega following the example of the Qing Dynasty, which developed the centralization of monarchy to its peak. Of course, this military aircraft department system has also been modified to a certain extent.

Once the Military Aircraft Department is established, it will take over the military and political power of the dynasty and become the highest state organ in power.

He is completely under the direct control of Veigar, which is equivalent to Veigar's private secretariat.At the same time, in terms of power, the military aircraft is the highest state organ in power, but in form it is always in the status of a temporary agency.

in short.

The Military Aircraft Office has no formal regulations on the office space and the establishment of officials, nor does it have the rank and treatment of senior officials of the dynasty. It is simply a group of temporary staff who work for Vega for free.

The staff of the Military Aircraft Department is changed every six months, mainly from the officials of all levels and ministries of the dynasty. There is no distinction between superiors and subordinates in the Military Aircraft Department. .

During the time of Vega's Western Expedition.

This department is headed by Yiluo, who makes decisions on the affairs of the east coast of the dynasty. All government and military affairs will no longer be reported to Xiya in the form of court meetings, and orders issued by Xiya will not be directly carried out.

Through this method, Veigar curbed the possibility of some officials wanting to exercise power in the court.

On the contrary, Yiluo will also become his spokesperson on the entire east coast, and secretly the most powerful person to speak.

And because Vega never believed in anyone's character, he was a little worried about whether Yiluo would take advantage of this highly concentrated power to do evil. Although this may be minimal, Vega still prepared to reserve a backup just in case.

This backhand is Menno.

He summoned Menno before entrusting Yilo with important tasks.

Compared with Yiluo, a professional member of the Central Military Academy, Vega seemed more at ease with Menno, who had nowhere to go, and finally subsided under his account under Viga's kindness and power, and might rebel at any time.

Perhaps in Veigar's subconscious.

I always think that villains are easier to control than gentlemen.

And Menno's reaction was indeed very different from Yiluo's.

Take the current situation as an example.

Menno was called to the conference room by Vega alone. After closing the door, Vega hadn’t said a word yet. He was already sweating profusely and began to doubt his life. His trembling legs seemed to be difficult to support his weight of nearly 250 catties. .

If this were replaced by Yiluo, it would probably be another calm scene.
