Vol 2 Chapter 1685: Brother Ge, you still need to practice this hand

This journey starts from the mainland. Although they have rested and replenished at many ports along the way, the docking time is very short, only half a day and a day, and only three or five days long, and they have to be busy during the berthing period. Supplies, there is no time to relax.

This will naturally be different when he arrives at Mori. If there is no accident, his Colombo will be parked here for a long time to support the army.

At most, when the Army is fighting in the coastal zone, he participates in artillery support operations. Otherwise, he basically has nothing to do.

The follow-up **** missions of supply transport ships will naturally be carried out by a large number of old-fashioned frigates in the Fourth Fleet, and there is no need to use new-style warships such as the Colombo cruiser.

The follow-up cruiser Colombo will stay here for a long time, and supporting the local Tang people is his main follow-up work.

After the warship docked, Colonel Ge Chengbin was naturally busy with several other senior navy officers, especially Rear Admiral Lu Yuze, commander of the 43rd Squadron, to attend a welcome banquet hosted by local military and political dignitaries and gentry in Bomu Prefecture.

As for the ordinary officers and sailors, except for the soldiers who stayed on duty, the others naturally got off the boat immediately, and then went straight to the restaurants of various colors in the city.

According to the usual practice, don't expect them to return to the battleship tonight. The earliest they will be back at noon tomorrow, and then tomorrow afternoon, they will stay behind for a day, and the soldiers on duty who are already eager to see will repeat such a routine.

In the next few days, the more than 200 crew members on the cruiser Colombo could not be kept full, and a large number of people would go ashore every day to have fun.

Not to mention these sailors, in fact, Ge Chengbin, the middle and senior officers in the 43rd Squadron, are also very busy. On the first day, they participated in the large-scale reception banquet attended by the military, political, land and sea gentry, and then the internal reception banquet of the Navy. , and then there are many other things.

Don't look at this time they came to fight, but when the army and navy discussed how to fight together, it was already five days later.

Colonel Ge Chengbin, who had been drinking and eating for several days, was still a little dizzy when he went to the joint land-sea combat meeting. He drank too much last night.

This time, the joint operations meeting was chaired by Army General Nie Kebao, because he is the highest military affairs officer in India, and because he is the one who was appointed to supervise the military affairs ministers of India and Myanmar.

In theory, all military affairs in India are under his control, whether it is the army or the navy.

But this is only in theory. In fact, this kind of supervising military affairs in one place seems to be a top official with real power, but everyone knows that there are still many eagle dogs around these generals.

His every move will be reported in detail to the Son of Heaven.

At the same time, his authority was limited to military affairs, and he still did not interfere in any local government affairs at all, and he also had no authority to interfere with the Joint Operations Command.

As we all know, all supply tasks in Datang, regardless of whether it is the army or the navy, are handled by the Transportation Division under the Joint Operations Command.

Moreover, the navy and the army have never caught a cold. Although Admiral Nie Kebao is the supervisor of the Indian military affairs, the navy will not ignore him if they say they don't.

So on the surface, it looks like this is a meeting chaired by an army general, but in fact it is a joint meeting of the army and navy.

If the Army wants to forcibly decide something regardless of the feelings of the Navy, the Navy will say: Fight by yourself!

The same goes for the Navy.

Meetings of this kind of joint operations between the army and the navy have always been spent in wrangling. It is impossible for both parties to reach a satisfactory combat plan without arguing for several days.

This was the first time for Colonel Ge Chenbin to participate in a high-level joint operations meeting. The atmosphere in the entire conference room left him amazed and even stunned.

On the first day of the meeting, the Army proposed five operational plans successively, and the Navy also proposed three different operational plans.

Then, the total number of eight combat plans were rejected, and what's more interesting is that the combined time for both sides to reject these combat plans did not exceed ten minutes.

All of them were just starting to introduce the combat plan, and the people on the other side interrupted directly: Needless to say, it is impossible for our army and navy to agree.

For a long time, everyone was arguing with each other. After noon, Major General Gu Zhen of the Army slapped the table first and pointed to Major General Lu Yuze of the Navy and said, you have to agree, you have to agree, and you have to agree.

Lu Yuze directly mocked: "Even if Hao Bainian is here, I dare to say no, you are a fart!"

Well, this has already started to scold!

Finally, at lunch time, the two sides broke up and went to eat separately.

During the meal, Ge Chengbin asked his immediate superior, Major General Gu Zhen: "Sir, what are those people in the army thinking? How could they make such a ridiculous proposal to let our cruisers and frigates go deep into the inland river to provide them with artillery support, this is no joke. Well!"

"Who knows what they think, those army turtles have always been like this!"

Of course, they wouldn't say that the combat plan proposed by the navy itself was not very kind, and it was entirely to make the army fight **** its own, and their marine regiment took the credit for it.

Both sides are dedicated to themselves, and the proposed combat plan is naturally unreliable.

And this kind of situation, for General Nie Kebao, the director of the Indian military affairs, was already expected. In fact, he only attended the meeting at the beginning, and left after half an hour.

This is mainly to avoid suspicion.

It is true that he is an army general, and he wants to safeguard the interests of the army, but he is also the supervisor of the Indian military affairs. What needs to be considered is not only the interests of the army, but also the interests of the empire in India.

Military affairs supervisors in one place are often difficult to handle, and it is actually very difficult to be caught in the middle. Those who come from the army cannot command the navy, and those who come from the navy cannot command the army.

For example, the military supervisor in Africa has been appointed by the navy in recent times, but the army units in Africa often go their own way and do not take the military supervisor in Africa seriously.

The Indian military affairs supervision has always been controlled by the army. Similarly, the navy does not care much about the Indian military affairs supervision.

The only thing that doesn't have this situation is probably the Central Asia Military Affairs Supervisor, where all the army troops are fighting, and the military affairs supervisor is an army general and also serves as the commander of the Western Expedition Army.

But he, the Indian military superintendent, can't do it.

He simply didn't bother to get involved. Anyway, he always had to fight, let the generals below fight each other, and in the end, he could always come up with a mutual compromise plan.

What if they don't compromise, it's simple, just force them to compromise.

As the military supervisor, he still has this power.

It's just that he won't do it unless he has to.

Doing so would easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the troops below against him, the military supervisor.

Even if he was an admiral, he would not be able to hold the conflict between the military branches to himself.

Admiral Nie Kebao chose to let his subordinates quarrel, and the senior generals of the army and navy were naturally not polite. The army's side focused on Major General Gu Zhen, because his 18th division was the main force in the battle.

On the other side of the navy, Rear Admiral Lu Yuze was represented, because his 43rd Fleet was the main fleet dispatched by the navy.

As for the other participating troops, although there are also, but the impact is not great.

The two people quarreled directly at the meeting for several days, and it was a basic operation to spit on the table.

After the two sides quarreled the next day, there was still no result. After the meeting, Ge Chengbin looked at Lu Yuze's bright red palm and asked, "Sir, is this all right?"

Lu Yuze raised his red hand and said, "It's okay, I only had a dozen tables lined up today. In the early years, when I was raiding the house with those army turkeys, I was able to take dozens of tables a day, even if it was red and swollen. Don't frown, those army turtles were afraid of me when they saw me!"

Then he turned to look at Ge Chengbin, looked at Ge Chengbin's hand specially, and said, "Brother Ge, you have to practice this hand well, when you are hosting a party, a scene like today is indispensable. , if the momentum doesn't get up by then~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Those army turtles won't be polite to you!"

Ge Chengbin looked down at his palm, a little speechless!

Although he is also a strong man, his palm is also powerful, but if he wants to hit the table dozens of times in a row like Lu Yuze, I am afraid that he is still not strong enough!

I really need to practice now. I have been a senior colonel for many years, and I have always been fighting on the front line. According to the usual practice, if there is a suitable opportunity in a year or two, it is a high probability to become a brigadier general. matter.

If it wasn't for training him, the senior navy wouldn't let him be the captain of a front-line warship for several years.

After he became a brigadier general, according to the promotion rules of the navy, he may serve as the chief of staff of the squadron, and he may also serve as the commander of some auxiliary, offshore, inland and other secondary squadrons.

At that time, there is a high probability that you need to quarrel with the army, and it is still the main force.

On occasions like today, the Admiral doesn't care.

Even lieutenant generals are usually in charge, but they won't make a move easily. If this shot doesn't kill the opponent, it's shameful not to say, and the situation that is easy to make can't be managed.

For example, if the new commander of the Indian First Army and the commander of the Fourth Fleet have torn their faces, then don't fight this battle.

So they are all sitting in the town, watching the whole process, but they will not speak out easily.

Therefore, the main force of the quarrel is often the major generals and brigadier generals under his command, that is, people like Gu Zhen and Lu Yuze.

If Ge Chenbin can further become a brigadier general in the future, he will have to fight for the interests of the navy in similar occasions in the future.

I heard that there are iron sand palms and the like among the folks in China, why don't you go back and find someone to learn a few hands!
