New Staff of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Wesley finally convened a combat meeting, which was not to be expected or awkward for the generals, but everyone appeared on time in the command room of the barracks station.

Everyone was there, and Wesley was the last to walk in, and after reaching the main seat, "Stand at attention!" shouted Wesley's adjutant.

The generals, no matter their age, all got up, and Wes took a glance at the fifty division commanders, a dozen brigade commanders, "Please sit!" People sit down, as soldiers, no matter what they have for Wesley Such emotions, they must do what they should do. This is the constraint of military discipline. The United States is very strict with the division of ranks within the military. Those who do not obey orders can be directly sent to a military court.

If it is a combat period, officers can even directly shoot soldiers at the forefront, and Wesley has such a right to these generals, and they can be dismissed and sent back to the domestic court-martial.

"Everyone, it's been more than a month since we came here. Britain and France are urging us to fight as soon as possible, especially to take over part of the defense line. What do you think about this?" Wesley asked.

The silence below, they are not convinced by Wesley, they are all clear about inventing some equipment, giving speeches in Congress, but this does not mean that their teammate Wesley's military talent is affirmed, because of military discipline restrictions Only then did they adopt the attitude of non-violence and do not do anything, and not a single person spoke.

Wesley smiled, he thinks the result is very good, you don't say so, I say, I'll make a statement.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let me tell you." After Wesley finished speaking, the generals were surprised. They thought Wesley would encourage or discuss it, or just speak by name. After all, there are many old people here. Great generals, they were experienced commanders in the Spanish-American War they participated in.

But Wesley's next words directly shattered their idea, "We all don't know much about the current war model, which has fundamentally changed from the past war model, and the soldiers don't have to beat the drums to advance. already."

"We are all recruits for the current war mode, but I still have some experience with this. The equipment we use now is designed by me, and it is aimed at modern warfare."

"We don't care whether they are righteous or evil in this European war. We, the United States, participated in the war to gain benefits, and the interests of the United States need to be guaranteed. This is the mission of our soldiers."

"We are not here to be cannon fodder, and it is impossible to completely obey the decisions of Britain and France. Although they are allies, their precautions are essential. They may suddenly stab us in the back at any time. I hope everyone recognizes this."

There was a lot of discussion below. They were not very comfortable with the statement of guarding allies, but it was understandable after thinking about it a little. Someone asked to speak, and Wesley waved his hand and asked him to speak directly.

"Your Excellency Commander, it is understandable for us to guard against our allies, but what should we do? And how can the interests of the United States be guaranteed?"

Wesley motioned him to sit down, and then said: "We must form a group, all the troops are gathered together and must not be separated. At the same time, our flanks and rear are also what we must take into account, and we must not believe everything that Britain and France say, and secondly Guarantee the victory of this European expedition."

Wesley stood up without waiting for the people below to ask questions. The adjutant opened the curtain on the wall behind him, revealing a map. Wesley took a baton and started pointing at the map, "I plan to take over this line of defense, ask for The most northern part of the Mu River defense line, close to the defense area of ​​the North Sea.”

"Last year they organized the Battle of the Somme. The two sides suffered more than a million casualties, and the fight was extremely tragic. Now it's deadlocked. Both sides are constantly strengthening their defense lines. A new weapon, the tank, was used in this battle."

The people below didn't speak, they were waiting for Wesley's battle plan, they wanted to see what the commander wanted to do?

"The reason I chose to defend here is because I'm going to attack, you heard right, attack," Wesley said.

"Your Excellency Commander, since you said that both sides are fixing fortifications, our attack will suffer heavy casualties. Isn't it useless to do so? And our boys will die in large numbers." Someone asked.

Wesley's expression became serious, and his eyes swept across everyone sharply, making people feel cold, "You all think so?"

"It seems that you don't know much about the new equipment and tactics of the troops. Our troops are equipped and trained to break through the defense line. There are new tactical systems for both offense and defense, especially our newest equipment with bazooka, which is to destroy tanks and fortresses. Sharp weapon, you haven't figured out the meaning of these things at all."

"The trenches will lose their concealment in front of the mortars we are equipped with. Grenades and automatic weapons can easily destroy the enemy in the trenches, and is our no-run coordination for nothing?" Wesley's tone was quite the same. severe.

"I order below that all troops are ready for battle, and all engineer brigades begin to act, immediately maintain the road from Paris to the Somme, ensure the speed of the heavy artillery brigade, and ensure the transportation speed of our future logistical supplies."

"Yes." The generals agreed in unison.

Wesley did not directly state his plan, because the generals were not very optimistic about the new method of warfare. Wesley could only change the way. After he finished the meeting, he went directly to the Paris command headquarters and asked for Somme. The defense of the Hebei section.

Of course, the defensive area that Wesley wanted was not very long, because he wanted to attack, and at the same time, the expeditionary fleet he contacted, let them approach the Somme region of the North Sea, find a port here to prepare, and ensure that the logistics arrived in time by sea front.

The defensive line of the northern Somme extended to Belgium, and Wesley's plan was to start the attack from here. Once the enemy's defense line was broken through, if the Germans were not behind, they would directly start to detour and surround their defensive forces on the western front. If they start on the backside, Wesley is going to be chasing him along the way.

What Wesley needs now is to race against time, because the February Revolution in Russia has already happened, and it is not far from October. Once there is a change in Russia, the trend of World War I will continue to develop according to the inertia, and Wesley needs to continue to develop. Before the October Revolution, the entire Western Front was shaken, and the American army needed to be sharpened.
