Arc of Gunfire

November 23, Military Order Office.

"Major General Alexey Konstantinovich Rokosov is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General. The order will take effect immediately upon issuance." Admiral Turgenev put down the first order and picked up the second one.

"Lieutenant General Alexey Konstantinovich Rokosov concurrently serves as the commander of the First Guards 'Red Banner' Mechanized Division."

Standing in front of Turgenev's desk, Wang Zhong frowned slightly. What about the appointment of me as the dean of the Suvorov Military Academy?

Did Olga change her mind?

Admiral Turgenev put down the second order and said, "Don't be distracted."

"Yes." Wang Zhong stood up straight.

Turgenev picked up the third order: "The First Guards 'Red Banner' Mechanized Infantry Division has made outstanding contributions and will be stationed in the Kubinka Training Base from now on, and will be transferred to the Capital City Defense Command at the same time."

Wang Zhong wanted to ask, first, where is my appointment as dean? Second, what kind of city defense commander can suppress a heroic unit with a lieutenant general of such status as the division commander?

But Turgenev had a stern face, and Wang Zhong couldn't ask questions. He could only watch him put down the third order and pick up the fourth one.

"Appoint Lieutenant General Alexei Konstantinovich Rokosov as the commander of the St. Ekaterinburg defense."

Wang Zhong raised his eyebrows. Good guy, put my direct troops in a key position next to the capital, and appointed me as the commander of the city defense. This is obviously to prevent others from making trouble.

Wang Zhong took the opportunity when Turgenev put down the order and asked: "Is this what Olga, Her Majesty meant?"

Admiral Turgenev: "I suggested it. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Zhong: "Yes."

Turgenev picked up a new order: "Appoint Lieutenant General Rokosov as the president of the Suvorov Military Academy."

The last one really became the president of the military academy. I don't know what the professors of the academy look like.

Turgenev put down this one and picked up another order.

Wang Zhong couldn't help it: "Anything else?"

Admiral Turgenev glanced at Wang Zhong: "I am meeting your request. If you don't want to accept it, I can change the order on the spot."

Wang Zhong: "Read it first."

Turgenev then lowered his head and looked at the order: "Appoint Lieutenant General Rokossov as the chairman of the Special Review Committee for Military Equipment."

Well, he is both the principal and the chairman, and will also micro-manage the troops in the future. It seems that my hair is in danger.

Wang Zhong looked at Admiral Turgenev and asked: "Anything else?"

Turgenev put all the orders in a pile, sorted them out, and then picked up a pen and asked: "What other appointments do you want? I will write them for you?"

Although Wang Zhong had no social experience, he knew that it would be too outrageous to really make demands at this time. Besides, he had nothing to complain about and could interfere in everything. After this pile of appointments, he was not a prince, but he was almost the same as a prince.

At least in Yebao.

Admiral Turgenev came out from behind his desk with the stack of appointments and handed them to Wang Zhong: "I originally wanted you to attend the meeting of the General Staff, but Chief of Staff Tukhachev looked unhappy. His Majesty meant to let him lead the counterattack this time. She fully trusts your judgment and intends to replace Tukhachev with a reason if something goes wrong."

Wang Zhong: "It seems that the new Tsar is not yet able to convince the people in the army."

"She is a girl after all, and she is too close to the church."

Admiral Turgenev sighed and continued: "After all, the civil war was twenty years ago. The church has been expanding its power at the lower level, and the nobles are expanding in the army.

"Didn't you say that the design of many of our weapons is very bad? I heard your Majesty relay your opinion. The fundamental reason for this is that the old nobles are forming cliques for personal gain. Not every noble thinks as clearly as your father does."

Turgenev obviously had something else to say, but the confidential staff opened the door: "Report! Emergency! "

Admiral Turgenev frowned: "What's wrong? Is someone finally going to oppose the new Tsar? It just so happens that the new city defense commander is here..."

"No, please allow me to turn on the radio." After saying that, the confidential secretary went directly to the radio and started operating it.

It seems that Turgenev is also a very easy-going person. He doesn't care if his subordinates mess up a little.

After the radio was turned on, English came out - this world is called Anglo.

Wang Zhong's English is basically at the level of how do you do. He can understand simple ones when listening, but he can only stutter endlessly when speaking.

The confidential staff translated: "The President of the United States will give a speech to Congress next, and we will broadcast the full text. "

Wang Zhong looked at the morning sun outside the house and estimated the current time in the United States. Wow, speaking at this time...

He looked at the calendar again. It was two weeks earlier than the Earth, but the attacks were all on Sundays.

The speech began at this time.

In fact, Wang Zhong had heard this speech many times in many places. For example, there is a MOD for Hearts of Iron that adds the original text of these speeches into the game. Players can listen to them by clicking the resolution.

Of course, with Wang Zhong's "easy to read" level of English, he certainly couldn't understand every sentence, but he would definitely not misunderstand the last sentence "God help us".

The confidential staff translated: "I believe I have expressed the will of the United States Congress and the people of the United States. I am sure that we must not only do our best to defend the country, but also ensure that the United States will never be harmed by such treacherous acts again.

"The enemy is in front of us. Our people, our land and our interests are in great danger. We cannot ignore this fact. I have full confidence in the United States Army and the United States People. We will surely win. Bless us, God."

The staff translator was not as angry as the speaker himself.

He finally said to Admiral Turgenev and Wang Zhong in a calm voice: "The United States and the Fuso Empire, as well as their ally the Proson Empire, are already at war."

At this moment, Wang Zhong suddenly understood Fatty Wen. He had to have a good sleep.

Especially yesterday he heard that the United States vetoed the Lend-Lease Act at the instigation of the Proson lobby.

Now, there is no need for the bill. I will end it myself.

M3 Lee tanks, M4 Sherman tanks are all available, and there are also P39 Flying Snake fighters.

More importantly, trucks. After the United States' production capacity exploded, there were so many trucks that they exploded. Using the United States' trucks to improve logistics, equip a division with more auxiliary troops, and equip the tank troops with maintenance vehicles, towing vehicles and other things-

Wang Zhong's list in his mind immediately became three pages long, and it was still getting longer.

Admiral Turgenev glanced at Wang Zhong: "Do you want some wine to celebrate?"

Wang Zhong: "Yes, yes!"

Seeing this, the confidential staff turned off the radio and quietly slipped away.

The admiral came to his wine cabinet, took out a bottle of wine with a simple decoration, pulled out the cork with a corkscrew, and poured two glasses.

Wang Zhong went over and picked up the glass himself, raised his glass and said: "To celebrate the United States' participation in the war!"

Admiral Turgenev: "For the upcoming aid!"

The two clinked glasses.

After drinking, Admiral Turgenev said: "You will show up at the Suvorov Military Academy this afternoon. I have already informed the school that you will be there. In addition, your safety in Yebao will be the responsibility of the church's tribunal. You can also arrange some troops you trust."

Wang Zhong: "I will arrange it."

Admiral Turgenev continued: "You can go to the city defense headquarters tomorrow."

Wang Zhong: "What about Lyudmila's appointment? Where is she assigned?"

Admiral: "The Praying Hands and the Divine Arrow Company were not under our command.

"In addition, since you changed the use of the Divine Arrow, the front line has become less eager for the Praying Hands, and the death rate of the Praying Hands has also dropped.

"Now most of the Arrow Company is organized together with the anti-aircraft artillery, responsible for the air defense of key areas. I guess Belinsky will not let your fiancée go to the front alone, you can fully enjoy family life in Yebao."

Wang Zhong: "It would be great if that's the case."

Admiral Turgenev: "Okay, let's go quickly, otherwise His Majesty will finish the imperial meeting, and it will be difficult for you to leave if she comes."

That's right, His Majesty the Tsar said "My dear, I want to know the situation at the front", then you really can't leave.

Wang Zhong nodded and put a stack of documents into his briefcase.

Admiral Turgenev: "Find an adjutant. It's not right for a lieutenant general to carry a briefcase by himself."

Wang Zhong didn't like this sentence. He came from China and didn't have this bad habit.

Turgenev: "I know you are close to the church, and you deliberately want to wash off the dandy atmosphere on your body."

Well, the habits brought from another world are like this to others.

Admiral Turgenev: "I don't know what the church is going to shape you into. I'm starting from a functional perspective. You have an orderly to handle the chores of life, and you should also have an adjutant to handle the chores of the job. The adjutant is equivalent to a secretary."

Wang Zhong: "Okay, if I find a secretary like Bernard or Humphrey, I will ask them to be my adjutant."

Turgenev: "Who are these? The dandies of Yebao? You have to choose well. People with poor ability can't be your adjutants. I promise."

Wang Zhong: "Anyway, I will pay attention."

Turgenev nodded: "Let's go, the imperial meeting is about to end."

Wang Zhong turned and left the room.

Admiral Turgenev came to the window and looked at the rising sun outside.

He maintained the posture of appreciating the beautiful sunrise and stood for a long time.

Then the door opened, and Her Majesty Olga I pushed it open and walked in: "Alyosha! Eh? Is he gone? Why did he leave so quickly? I wanted to find him to learn about the situation on the front line!"

Admiral Turgenev turned around: "Your Majesty, he has just received so many appointments, he must be very, very busy, you'd better not disturb him all the time."

Olga I pouted like a girl.

Admiral: "Your Majesty, although the coronation ceremony has not yet been held, you are already His Majesty."

Olga I sighed: "I know. I know. I will take over from my brother and take care of everything!"
