Girls und War

Seeing this, the young commander sneered and said, "Look, if you're like this, don't bother setting up a special operations force. Just give the organization to us and let us focus on developing it."

980. The Source of Evil Conspiracy

After the young commander said this, the two generals were somewhat dissatisfied.

Pei Pei frowned and said, "We agreed that the three armed forces would jointly develop special warfare capabilities. Why are you changing your mind now?"

Upon hearing this, the young commander said impatiently, "I've never said anything like that. From the beginning, I was aiming to build an integrated special operations force. If it weren't for the current parliamentary treaty, I wouldn't bother with how your special operations force develops."

"But look at it for yourself. You want to occupy a position, but you don't have any achievements. Isn't that just occupying the toilet without doing anything?"

These words left Peipei speechless.

However, Zhu Ying said, "That's not the case. The army construction is not yet in place..."

"How long will this construction be completed? Will it reach the point where Eagle Zone attacks us?" The young commander refused to give in and immediately interrupted her, asking, "Where are you currently organizing your special operations forces? Standing troops? Frontline combat troops? Or your own guard force? Have you given them the right to fight independently? Where does the military funding come from? Is it from the financial headquarters?"

As she spoke, she seemed to recall something irritating, jumping up and down as she cursed, "You damned parasites! The military budget is so high! You spend tens or even hundreds of billions like it's your own game! You're nothing like our Army Department! You spend your own money and still have to speak well of your subordinates! Oh, I'm so angry!"

At this moment, Qimingxing appeared from nowhere, caressing her flat chest, stuffing a straw into her mouth, and whispered, "Calm down, Commander-in-Chief, calm down."

The young commander sucked the corner of his mouth and found that it was the milk he usually drank, and his mood quickly calmed down.

But she still stared at Zhu Ying and the other person, as if she wanted to hear a nice answer from them.

Dong Ying and Pei Pei looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

But it is impossible to ask them to hand over the special forces organization just like that.

Pei Pei then said, "That's easy for you to say. We've put so much effort into incorporating the latest equipment, and you just want it when you ask for it? Wouldn't that make us the ones being taken advantage of?"

After Peipei finished speaking, Zhu Ying nodded repeatedly, and it seemed that she meant the same thing.

Upon hearing this, the young commander's eyes rolled, and he spit out his straw and said, "You established a special operations force just to increase your military merit ratio during regular combat. Am I right?"

Peipei and Zhu Ying looked at each other after hearing this. Although they didn't say anything, they saw the look of approval in each other's eyes.

You have to know that although these three generals nominally manage the three major military forces in the Flower District, they actually do not have the right to command operations.

This resulted in them and their staff officers, as field managers, having very limited means of gaining military merit.

Only Commander Shao, after establishing the special operations force, seemed to have gained the ability to interfere in the command of the troops to some extent.

So after a local battle, the military merits were attributed to a series of departments related to the special forces.

That is why the Army and Air Force were so interested in special operations forces and subsequently established their own special operations departments.

At this time, the young commander snapped his fingers again.

So Qimingxing quickly took out a report from the file box behind him and placed it in front of the young commander.

After the young commander opened it, he handed one of the pages to the two men.

The two of them stretched their heads to look, and several officers next to them also wanted to take a look.

But then they heard Qimingxing cough lightly, so Peipei and Zhuying looked at the officer next to them with a warning look.

Several staff officers could only turn their heads away awkwardly and look up at the sky as if they saw nothing.

As expected, the document the young commander gave them was indeed the actual combat methods of Xia Shu's special forces on the battlefield.

The command structure of the imaginary battlefield is listed layer by layer above - including regional general command headquarters, and the right of the front-line integration headquarters below to contact the three armed forces.

However, the special forces were completely separated from the most important military structure, the Frontline Integration Headquarters.

They have their own command and communications departments, and the entire force only obeys the combat staff team - that is, Xia Shu and her staff.

What’s more important is that they don’t need to call for support through the front-line coordination headquarters, but can directly contact the three armed forces.

This was signed by Princess Zhao and is a legally valid command plan.

The purpose of this is to enable special forces to respond quickly during combat so as not to miss opportunities.

Peipei and Dongying were so experienced that they could see the trick at a glance.

Then, four big words immediately appeared in their minds:

Support your troops and respect yourself!

No wonder Qimingxing was so cautious that he even refused to let the staff officers around them see it.

It turns out that the Army Special Forces has such a powerful sword!

No wonder their own special forces can’t do it well no matter what they do.

Thinking of this, both of them calmly closed the document and returned it to the young commander.

The young commander asked Qimingxing to put the documents away, and then said to the two, "So, only by cooperating with me can you guarantee your best interests. Do you understand what I mean?"

The young commander's words were very general, but the two sharp men still heard the subtext.

She wanted to use this document to bypass the regional command and frontline coordination department, formulate her own combat plan, and use the special forces' independent command authority to command the war.

This behavior is undoubtedly against the rules, because if this is done, the commander-in-chief of the war zone may be sidelined, and Princess Zhao will definitely not allow such a thing to happen.

But going straight to strategic deployment—the temptation is just too great!

Even if they don't need military merit, what about the various combat departments under them?

You know, it was because of the existence of the Front Integration Headquarters and the Regional Command Headquarters that the combat merits that should have belonged to the three armed forces were divided up by the officers in the inner field.

If this continues, it would be impossible to say that the field officers have no resentment at all.

But the combat rules are already there, and there will be such a difference between the inside and outside fields.

Therefore, for the sake of the officers under their command, Peipei and Zhu Ying had to seriously consider the young commander's suggestions.

After a while, Zhu Ying asked, "So, do you have any recent battle plans?"

The young commander blinked mysteriously and said vaguely, "There are indeed some, but I still have to consider whether the two ladies are willing to cooperate with me."

The three of them looked at each other and seemed to understand what was in each other's eyes.

So everything was self-explanatory, and they immediately discussed the feasibility of merging the special forces of the three armed forces.

981. Give me some, give me some?

It seemed that he had already anticipated that the two admirals would be interested in his bargaining chips.

At this time, the young commander directly asked Qimingxing to take out a new organizational document and began to discuss the details of the establishment of the special forces.

Speaking of the merger of the three branches of the special forces, Peipei and Zhu Ying seemed uneasy and asked, "Are you sure that after the special forces complete their mission, the military merits can be distributed to our respective off-site departments?"

Seeing this, the young commander seemed to have a headache, so he said, "Well, let me put it this way. If the special operations forces complete a combat mission, who gets the credit? They themselves, right? Then who coordinates the operations? The Special Operations Communications Department. And then the special operations forces don't need to take two credits - so the credit can be attributed to the communications departments of the three armed forces - after all, we provided timely combat support to the special operations forces. And then..."

Having said that, the young commander paused again and winked at them.

So the two men became serious and asked their subordinate officers to wait outside the meeting room.

The young commander, not shying away from Xia Shu, saw the staff officers leave and continued, "Then, the most important question is who proposed the strategic plan. There's a lot of intricacies to this."

Upon hearing this, the two generals immediately showed a pensive expression.

The young commander then asked them, "Think about it, who comes up with the usual strategic plan?"

"The regional command proposed it, and the combat control department reviewed it." Peipei replied immediately.

"Yes, and then they'll deploy and command us, and we'll do the thankless work of mobilizing troops," the young commander said in a low voice. "But if this plan is proposed by the special operations forces, then the credit for strategic command can be freely allocated to the special operations forces. I've already tried this during Operation Penguin."

Having said that, the young commander glanced sideways at Xia Shu.

Xia Shu naturally did not refute, because at that time, part of the command merit was indeed attributed to Lieutenant General Qimingxing and the Young Commander's Staff.

It's just like when Natsuki was a sniper, Dragon was her commander and received many military merits. There's nothing to avoid talking about.

After listening to the young commander's words, General Ting Ying was silent for a moment, then asked, "After the special operations forces are reorganized, what will happen to the command department? Will it need to be reorganized?"

"You're crazy!" the young commander said in a low voice. "Are you blind as the commander-in-chief? If we do this, wouldn't it be clear that we want to establish an independent army? Will she let us do this?"

Zhu Ying thought about it and felt that it was true.

But Pei Pei turned her head to look at Xia Shu and asked, "So you don't want a major to be the commander-in-chief of an independent military branch, do you?"

"It's not her!" The young commander waved his hand, his expression showing impatience. "It's Morning Star! Or, can you find a more suitable lieutenant general than her? And one who will obey our arrangements?"

After saying this, both of them looked at Qimingxing.

Qimingxing, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face, as if he was not surprised by praise or criticism.

Indeed, after an ordinary lieutenant general has such great authority, the three generals may not be able to control him.

However, a nominal lieutenant general is stripped of his power.

As for Xia Shu, a major like him can't turn the tables even if he has real power.

After all, the military rank is there, so isn't it they who have the final say on how to manipulate them?

From this perspective, the arrangements made by the young commander all along can be said to be extremely shrewd.

No wonder she didn't arrange for other senior officers to take over the special forces.

Although Xia Shu was very dissatisfied with their behavior of delegating power in front of him, it seemed that they would be his new superiors for a long time to come.

So Xia Shu could only silently swallow this loss and wait for the future before making plans.

At this time, Pei Pei squinted her eyes and looked at Xia Shu, then said, "Major... Major is still too low. No, you have to raise her level."

"Well, don't worry about that. I'll be promoting her soon." The young commander said, then smiled again and continued, "As for you, find a way to remove all the commanding officers on your side. Don't send too many mid-level officers in."

"You just want combat power, not command, right?" Zhu Ying looked helpless.

The young commander nodded with a smile, then looked at Xia Shu and said, "That's right, don't give orders to me and delegate power. Otherwise, our Xia Shu will be unhappy and will quit."

Xia Shu was shocked when he heard this, thinking that the young commander had seen through his thoughts.

But the young commander just joked and didn't seem to want to delve into the matter further.

However, Xia Shu still felt that he should learn more from Jiamei about how to hide his thoughts.

A little while later, while the two generals were thinking about how to arrange the management officers of the special forces, the young commander looked up at Qimingxing and said, "Call them in."

So Qimingxing walked out of the conference room and called in the air force and naval staff officers waiting outside.

After everyone sat down, the three generals discussed the final equipment distribution issue.

"Then, the two teams, plus part of the communication team, will be incorporated into the special forces. There is no doubt about this, right?" the young commander asked the two.

Seeing the two nod, the young commander said thoughtfully, "So, after the merger, the new special operations force should be a special branch independent of the three major military branches. I will not put it under the army to avoid worrying you."

After the young commander finished speaking, both Zhu Ying and Pei Pei showed expressions of approval.

"Then the special warfare equipment over there really needs to be transferred here, right? It's of no use keeping it with you." The young commander said naturally.

When it comes to financial issues, everyone starts to haggle again.

Zhu Ying then said, "It's true that those individual soldier equipment are a waste for the regular troops. So, let's sell them to you at a discount so we can recoup our costs."

The young commander sneered, "You wouldn't be willing to give it away for free... But you're wrong. You're not selling it to me at a discount, you're selling it to the special forces at a discount."

The young commander did some calculations and said, "Since we're merging the special forces, the finances will naturally be split among the three parties. Each party will contribute a little to make up the 3.5% stipulated in the agreement. And the special warfare equipment they're using now is all ordered from the Armament Department of the Three Armed Forces. Let's do the math and sort out the finances, and we'll arrange all future equipment customizations in the same way. Is that okay?"

The two men thought about it and felt that the young commander's arrangement was indeed reasonable, so they agreed to it.

So the young commander finally achieved his goal - to get the Air Force and Navy to cooperate in sharing the financial expenses of the special forces.

Everyone can accept this result.

So everyone is happy.

982. From Major to Lieutenant Colonel in Three Months

Soon, under the leadership of the young commander, Dong Ying and Pei Pei signed the documents for the merger of the special forces.

Therefore, Xia Shu's special forces expanded the strength of two teams, and the subordinate combat teams and communication reconnaissance teams were greatly strengthened.

There are also several anti-submarine helicopters and radar helicopters, as well as a ridiculously expensive strategic stealth transport aircraft whose maintenance costs are almost the same as those of a helicopter carrier.
