Girls und War

But their strongest point is not just that.

Combat experience, the most important parameter for evaluating a unit's combat effectiveness, is the most powerful aspect of the Hua District Special Forces.

So, to some extent, the Flower District really doesn't need ordinary standing troops.

986. Do you dare to disobey me who owns an aircraft carrier?

Princess Zhao did not let Xia Shu and the special forces wait too long.

Not long after, a new strategic plan for the future came from headquarters.

The content of the book was not much different from the one Xia Shu had submitted before, except that it added an additional supervisory responsibility from the Armed Forces Operations Headquarters.

In other words, Princess Zhao would send people to inspect the combat missions arranged by the special forces.

Xia Shu had no objection to this. As long as they didn't interfere, Xia Shu would be satisfied.

This plan was quickly distributed to various locations in the Hua District Military Headquarters.

Therefore, the happiest people at this time should be the young commander and the other three Xia Shu’s “godfathers”.

So they quickly made a battle plan for the first phase of military missions and sent it to Xia Shu.

Xia Shu used this plan to formally present the subsequent combat plan to the members of the special forces.

The plan this time is different from the last time - using the officers of the special forces as tools and using them to carry out the strategy of the prince forming a clique.

Instead, they were given specific mission objectives and details of each operation and asked to complete them.

Generally speaking, the goal of this mission is to complete the grand strategic concept of the first phase.

That is to suppress several nearby war zones around the flower district.

The plan is called "Heading the Army and Forming Alliances", and its core idea is what the combat staff group discussed before - first carry out a series of hot wars to suppress the Sakura District and the Stupid District, and then have "heartfelt" exchanges with the surrounding small war zones to let them stand on the same front with the Flower District.

As expected, Princess Zhao gave the special forces the dirty and tiring task of dealing with the Sakura District.

At this time, the Combat Command Department was still a little slow to react and did not realize the evil ambitions of the special forces.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Shu quickly contacted the three major military headquarters and asked the commander-in-chief and several other staff groups to prepare for large-scale operations.

Afterwards, Xia Shu, accompanied by the supervising officer sent by Princess Zhao, found Lieutenant General Wutongqi, who was in charge of the mountain front, and began a detailed discussion on the "Help Plan".

-

The place for the detailed discussion was chosen to be the command headquarters of the mountain front in the imaginary battlefield, which was the place where Smiley Face had previously told jokes about Cuckoo Chicken.

The reason for choosing this place is that Wutongqi, as the commander-in-chief of the mountain front, needs to stay in the imaginary battlefield at all times.

She couldn't spare the time to have a detailed discussion with Xia Shu outside, and it didn't make sense for a lieutenant general to accommodate a lieutenant colonel.

So there was no choice but to let Xia Shu accommodate Wutongqi's schedule.

So, in the conference room at the command headquarters, Xia Shu got straight to the point and said to Wutongqi, "Ms. Lieutenant General, I hope we can reach a consensus on the offensive on the high mountain front. I also hope that you will fully cooperate with us."

After hearing what Xia Shu said, Wutongqi did not immediately express his opinion.

However, the volatile lieutenant colonel guard secretary beside her immediately retorted to Xia Shu, "Fully cooperate with your work? It seems that our High Mountain Front Command is the commander of this area, right? Shouldn't you cooperate with our work?"

Xia Shu glanced at her and ignored her.

It seemed that Natsuki had no obligation to answer her on this occasion.

The supervising officer accompanying Xia Shu seemed to be even more happy about the conflict between the two sides, so he didn't say a word.

It seems that he wants to stay out of it.

When the security secretary saw that he had failed, his face immediately darkened.

Both sides were lieutenant colonels, and she didn't take Xia Shu's position seriously. She continued to chatter, "If it weren't for us, the lieutenant general, how could the high mountain front be so impregnable? Your special forces came and took over the command of this area without a word of courtesy? You don't seem to be at that level?"

Xia Shu found her words funny.

She knew very well in her heart that these words were not just the lieutenant colonel taking advantage of the situation, but Wutongqi was using her mouth to express his dissatisfaction.

Xia Shu then picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip of the half-cold tea, and casually said, "The Special Forces' mission is to assemble for a frontal offensive against the Sakura District. The Alpine Front Command's primary mission is to defend the Alpine Front. I'm sure Miss Lieutenant General knows which is more important, right?"

Xia Shu's words were very impolite, and it seemed that he had no intention of having a good discussion.

Even someone with a good temper like Wutongqi felt a little embarrassed.

The security secretary jumped up and said, "Without our lieutenant general, can the Gaoshan front be held? You are so powerful, why don't you try to deal with the Sakura District yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Shu smiled instead of getting angry, and spoke slowly, "Oh? So, Princess Zhao's staff is unwilling to cooperate with the 'vertical and horizontal alliances' battle plan? It seems that the apparent balance between the Sakura District and the Flower District on the high mountain front has a deeper hidden agenda."

After saying that, Xia Shu glanced sideways at the supervising officer beside him, and the supervising officer also looked at Wutongqi sitting in the main seat.

Wutongqi's expression changed, as if he heard the suspicion of treason that Xia Shu was pointing to.

The guard secretary's expression was also a little strange. She was about to refute Xia Shu, but was scolded by Wutongqi, "Get out!"

It seems that he is afraid that the security secretary will say something wrong again and be taken out of context by Xia Shu.

Seeing the lieutenant colonel walking out of the meeting room with a sullen face, Xia Shu smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that the unpleasantness of being poured cold tea was gradually disappearing.

At this time, Wutongqi spoke to Xia Shu, "Well, Lieutenant Colonel Xia Shu, now, can we start the meeting properly?"

Hearing this, Xia Shu leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "I have been talking to you carefully."

Seeing Xia Shu's attitude, Wutongqi frowned again.

But Xia Shu's strong attitude revealed another problem.

That is, the conflict of interests between the special forces and the high mountain front command is irreconcilable.

As long as the special forces want to launch an attack, once they achieve certain results, Wutongqi will no longer be able to continue to receive the same attention as it does now on the mountain front.

If the staff officers of the Wutongqi faction want to continue to maintain their own military status, they will certainly not be able to wholeheartedly support this suppression operation.

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of nurturing the enemy for your own benefit.

So Xia Shu didn't care about the opinions of the Alpine Front Command at all.

They don't even care that much about their military support.

Because Xia Shu has other means of fighting.

In other words,

Do you dare to disobey me, who owns an aircraft carrier?

987. It is better to act well than to do well

Although this sentence was not said in front of Wutongqi, Xia Shu's behavior showed this.

To a certain extent, after the special forces were incorporated into the helicopter carrier, a mobile combat platform, their offensive capabilities in the entire imaginary battlefield have been qualitatively improved.

Although strictly speaking, the mountain front extends deep into the continental shelf, perhaps the power of the aircraft carrier cannot be fully demonstrated.

But don’t they still have the “Little Princess”?

So if this sentence is changed to "Do you dare to disobey me who owns a strategic transport aircraft?", the principle is the same.

Wutongqi understood the subtext of Xia Shu's words, and also knew that even if the special forces left her behind and went it alone, they would still be able to get support from the navy, army and air force.

At this moment, Xia Shu came over to contact her Wutongqi, just to pass the time and save face.

Since he knew that the Alpine Front would not welcome him, there was no need for Xia Shu to be humble and disgust himself.

However, from the perspective of a lieutenant general, Xia Shu's behavior was undoubtedly a bit arrogant.

Wutongqi was silent for a moment, then said to Xia Shu, "With the special forces as the lead, does that mean that the battle will be conducted without going through the Frontline Integration Department?"

Xia Shu nodded and replied, "Yes, we can directly contact the navy, army, and air force to conduct operations. Moreover, our battlefield assessment and command capabilities are far superior to the Combat Command, so we don't need their assistance."

Xia Shu's words made Wutongqi, a veteran of the Flower District who was accustomed to the old-fashioned way of fighting, hesitate a little.

But after thinking for a moment, she compromised and said, "Okay. But I can only promise to do the best possible routine defense on the flower side. We will not provide assistance in other offensive operations."

Xia Shu didn't care much about what Wutongqi said.

He just nodded and said, "That's perfect."

Then he said goodbye and left the meeting room with the supervising officer.

After a while, the security secretary officer of Wutongqi walked in from outside the meeting room.

As soon as she saw Wutongqi, she said indignantly, "How arrogant! So arrogant! Why does a lieutenant colonel have the right to give a lieutenant general the cold shoulder?! I really... just watching this makes me angry!"

Wutongqi was quite calm. She picked up the hot tea in front of her, glanced at her security secretary, and said, "You seem to have a big problem with her?"

The officer quickly apologized to Wutongqi with a smile, "Isn't this just a shame for you, the commander..."

"So you're targeting her everywhere, even using cold water to make her tea?" Wutongqi seemed to see through the officer's antics and said calmly, "Did someone in the General Staff tell you to do this?"

The officer looked embarrassed, and it seemed that Wutongqi had seen through his thoughts.

Wutongqi added, "My staff will naturally consider me, but it's unwise to offend Xia Shu, the direct commander of the special forces. Is this a way to vent my anger? This is asking for trouble."

Upon hearing this, the officer immediately asked in surprise, "Is there still a possibility for us to coexist peacefully with them?"

Wutongqi thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Probably not. Later, I have to think about what I should do after leaving the Gaoshan Front if the Sakura District is really destroyed."

"It would be great if the suppression plan failed." The officer suddenly muttered.

Wutongqi glared at her and signaled her not to talk nonsense.

Seeing the officer quickly admitting his mistake, she sighed again, "So, you're really far inferior to Xia Shu. We're both lieutenant colonels, but there's a huge gap."

Upon hearing this, the officer muttered unconvincedly, "Isn't it just a bit of luck?"

"Hmph, luck." Wutongqi said with a half-smile, "If it was just luck, how could she have sat in her current position? You are still too naive..."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

The lieutenant colonel officer also followed Wutongqi closely.

-

Speaking of Xia Shu's strong attitude this time, it seems that she is not like her usual self no matter how you look at it.

According to Xia Shu's own personality, he would definitely not confront a powerful lieutenant general with such an attitude.

But there are some things she wants to do for others to see.

Like now, when there is a spy from Princess Zhao beside her, she needs to show her strong attitude.

The reasons involved are very complex, including factors related to party formation and leadership ability.

But the most important thing is that Xia Shu must show a firm attitude to Princess Zhao: I am unwilling to share my command rights with others.

Otherwise, if Princess Zhao felt that Xia Shu could not control the situation and sent down a staff group to lead the battle, the special forces and her three "godfathers" would probably be in great trouble.

So whether Xia Shu is willing or not, she must appear strong enough.

Because leadership is not only demonstrated in coordination and command.

Sometimes, whether a leader is good or not depends on whether she can use both kindness and strictness.

After this unpleasant meeting with Wutongqi, Xia Shu quickly mobilized the entire special forces and prepared to carry out the first combat mission of the "He Zong Lian Heng Plan" -

It was called "Operation Crossing the Mountain".

The main strategic idea of ​​this operation is to allow a small group of elite troops to penetrate the main defense area of ​​the Sakura District on the mountain front.

Then, through small-scale guided bombing, the important defensive facilities of the Sakura District on the mountain front were quickly cleared out.

After completing this task, a large number of armored forces of the army will invade the Sakura District control area from the snowfield area, the best and only entrance and exit for large forces on the alpine front, and complete the comprehensive occupation of the entire ridge line east of the mountain under the guidance of the special forces.

The difficulty of this mission is how the special forces can sneak into their core control area east of the snowfield without being discovered by the Sakura District.

After thinking about it, Xia Shu felt that no matter what action he took, it would be unsafe.

So in the end, Xia Shu decided to use the "Little Princess" to deploy the special forces to the permafrost zone north of the alpine area, then bypass the complex mountainous area with perennial snow, travel more than 20 kilometers across the permafrost lake, and then approach the core control area of ​​the Sakura District on the alpine front from behind.

Although this route takes a long detour, the advantage is that safety is absolutely guaranteed.

The permafrost zone and the permafrost lake are both semi-controlled areas of the Snow Zone. They are sparsely populated and have poor resources. Neither the Snow Zone nor the Sakura Zone is interested in stationing large numbers of troops in that area.

Moreover, after the Sakura District recently recaptured some of the resource points that were snatched away by the Snow District, the Snow District has not deployed many troops in the high mountain areas. Because they have already gained enough benefits from the large oil fields.
