Chapter 746 1721 General Poma

Chapter 746 17.21 General Poma

In 3235, the Southern Legion of Van, a 50,000-man force consisting of 16 land cruisers, was fighting back against the rebellion supported by the Anglos in the southern colonies.

The commander in charge of this force was a commander who had just turned 20 years old, Poma. He was born in a poor noble family in South Port, and then graduated from the Artillery Academy. After being appreciated by his superiors, he married his superiors' daughter, and then accumulated merits step by step in the south.

Especially when the Anglos raided the southern colony of Van, when all the other legions retreated, he struggled to defend the important Bibos City.

Of course, if you look back carefully at his tactics, he built a large number of zigzag anti-tank trenches around Bibos City. This set of tactics is not similar to that of the Iron Star Revolution of the Sky Republic, but exactly the same.

Perhaps he actively learned the war mode from Iron Star, and of course it was because there was an information chain connecting to the void. This is God's blessing, and in Boma's consciousness there is an official organization recognized by the main world.

... Boma, a traverser arranged by the main world, but he himself is not from the main world, but from a near plane...

This organization is nominally on the same level as the official immortal class obtained by Zhao Xingchen. In fact, after the third plane war, the various forces in the entire space and time are flourishing. The space and time forces that are qualified to organize their own organizations vary in strength and difficulty, and the assessment standards vary in difficulty. This is just like the green cards of large and small countries before the ancient times.

Just as people in Asia, Africa and Latin America did not have the concept of "which nation I belong to" before the 16th century, now traversers do not have the concept of "which plane area I belong to". They all think that they are traversers and have the advantage of "traverser benefits".

After Boma won the Battle of Bibos, he rose to prominence.

Facts have proved that when the upper class is in a closed-minded state, it is useful to have an independent mind at this time. In the two years of war, Versailles fought a tug-of-war in the war on the northern front. When both sides began to consume mediocre steel around the defense line,

Bomar successfully used the interspersed tactics on the southern front, fought and won three victories.

In May 34. He led five land cruisers and 8,000 combat forces to cut off the Anglo-German branch forces on the southern river for the first time, destroyed three Anglo-German land cruisers, and captured 5,000 people.

In November 34, for the second time, he pulled the Anglo-German defenders to the field position for a battle, defeated the Anglo-German left wing with artillery, and then used six heavily armored land cruiser units as the front, interspersed from the flank, and destroyed six Anglo-German armored combat units.

In January 35, Anglo launched a winter offensive in the southern continental colonies. As a result, the assembled southern corps was intercepted in the Moss Valley movement. The armored corps composed of 15 land cruisers hastily evacuated, but 150,000 combat troops were lost.

This continuous penetration and counter-penetration shows the difference in their operations. It is not due to the personal intelligence of the generals, but the major changes in the military system behind it.

Because penetration is not something that everyone can use. In the confrontation between Ver and Anglo on the northern line, those generals of the old system could not think of it and would not penetrate? That is because under the old system, being bold is like drawing a tiger but drawing a dog.

…If the salary is not enough, you have to rely on the camera supervision of the "sweatshop". If the military promotion system is not good, you can only rely on high-pressure levels...

Only when the squad tactics are informatized and the organizational strength reaches a certain level, the high-mobility and long-distance operations can increase the probability of success to a feasible level.

Don't watch the thief eat meat, you have to watch the thief get beaten. Interpenetration and detours also represent adventure.

In the Second European War in the Main World, even though there was a blitzkrieg that swallowed up small countries one by one, and even took down the country of Mao at once, it seemed that this was the absolutely correct path, but on the Soviet-German battlefield, there were many cases where the penetration failed and was screwed. It was very common on the Soviet-German battlefield, and the battle line was pulled back and forth like a ping-pong ball. There were a large number of failed penetration cases.

Only countries that have completed the industrialized full mobilization system can have a continuous supply of reserve forces, so that the failure of the penetration adventure can be accepted. Interpenetration is like walking by the river often, and there is no way to get your shoes wet.

Without a modern mobilization and talent selection system, playing penetration? You can succeed several times, but as long as you fail once, it will be like Hannibal's expedition, the elite of the whole country will be annihilated, and there will be no subsequent replenishment, and you can only lose the war.

Now on the southern continent, Poma has begun to cultivate a wave of new non-commissioned officers who are loyal to him. Compared with the family teams around those new people born in aristocrats in the country, the initial team size of Poma is much larger than those family teams.

A family team consists of at most one or two hundred people. Poma now has tens of thousands of recruits, among which there are thousands of non-commissioned officers who can be promoted, and hundreds of people who can be trained as generals in the future.

…The current situation in Van is destined to create a hero in the future…

Van's parliament is still an aristocratic parliamentary country.

The corrupt remnants in the army have not been cleansed in the command system, so the Van army seems to be a large army on the battlefields of the Blood Channel Front and the Anglo Blood War, but its colonels and generals are still the old aristocratic system. This system will cause a large number of cannon fodder to die. But once the entire system is annihilated and officers are lost, it will be devastating.

Then its speed of selecting talents cannot keep up with the consumption of the war. Just like the Roman Empire, if a legion is lost, the damage to its vitality will not be made up for hundreds of years.

In 3235, on the northern front of the Versailles Council, millions of troops seemed to be "rigidly" advancing toward each other. This was not because the commanders were stupid, but because they had learned a lesson from their early radicalization.

...Vehr, who was generally advanced, was "scarred" by his own shortcoming at the top...

In early 3234, the Angles did not expect that the Vernal Council would be so determined to fight this war, and the generals of the Vernal Council also misjudged the war situation. Imagine the war going so smoothly.

This is because the Vernal Council, after watching the Iron Star Rebel Army sweep through internal and external wars in the late Sky Empire Revolution, underestimated the Anglo's military combat capabilities by a small amount, and then overestimated its own military offensive capabilities by a small amount. A little bit.

I only see the scenery in front of others, but not the hard work behind others, which leads to a wonderful misunderstanding: "If XX can do it, so can I."

When the members of the Verne Council eagerly proclaimed victory and did not allow anyone to say defeat, the mentality of the entire Verne lost its objectivity. They forced the frontline combat forces to prepare to resolve the war within one winter.

Therefore, a large number of elite troops directly hit the front line. As a result, these adventurous noble officers used a series of failures to prove a "truth": offense consumes too much, or "defense" is more conducive to consumption.

As a result, it has now returned to muddy consumption, with both sides using artillery fire to hit one after another. After smashing, drive the cannon fodder to fight for position. If the battle fails, then continue smashing. The entire northern region is filled with smoke and acid fog.

…The current situation will change early and the country will benefit, but the superstructure does not want to change…

Therefore, the war of attrition on the northern front will cause the entire country of Vern to lose a lot of flesh and blood.

It is true that various data will tell you that victory in the war is supported by a large amount of cannon fodder. In the end, national strength determines victory, but further data will tell you that the death rate of new recruits is several times that of veterans. Recruited soldiers who have not undergone several months of training are just cannon fodder. Officers who have not undergone seven or eight years of orthodox education go to the battlefield, which is equivalent to adding lubricant to the meat grinder on the opposite side.

The common deliberation system of the Republic of Verde was the uprising of the urban factions in the metropolitan area that finally determined the political power. There was no uprising organization such as the Peasants' Youth Association in the fringe areas of Versailles, which made the system discussed by the Verses Parliament always out of touch with reality.

Maybe Ver will win this war, but he can't realize what the consumption of vitality means!

[The first European War directly brought Britain and France to a standstill. The second European War caused Soviet Russia to lose its most elite generation. Then during the cold confrontation and economic transformation, it lost its young, powerful and experienced middle-level people, and it collapsed directly. Smear freely]

If a strong man does not come, Ver's fate is doomed. But there are gods on Wanlun Continent, so their destiny has changed.

...The spiraling history will plug all loopholes, but the gods of multiple planes will deliberately open up many leaky areas for history...

Boma is first of all a time traveler. He was born in the fringe area of ​​​​Ver. He is the first batch of family members he can recruit. He is not subject to the seemingly "advanced" but actually useless theories in the capital area that consume his thinking and configuration.

In 34 years, a series of adventures in the northern part of the Verne Council led to the loss of a large number of noble young troops. This also forced Verde to withdraw a group of mature and stable generals from surrounding colonies, and at the same time promote some emerging generals.

Poma's series of promotions are in this context. His military capabilities were recognized by the upper class in the capital area, but because he was from a civilian background in the southern seaport, he was still ostracized by the capital's gentlemen, who only made him responsible for fighting in the southern colonies. And this was a mistake, which allowed him to restructure a new military promotion system. Hone your command skills.

Moreover, he is not just a warlord, he wants to return to Vers with his own military system. And it must be done before all the bones and blood of Ver's native land are exhausted.

Poma received God's will (system mission): to eliminate all Anglo forces on the southern front within 35 years.

...Anglo has rich experience in low-level struggles, but now times have changed, and God has begun to abandon this former favorite...

Ittel City (the fuse of the Wanlundilong War), now the Anglo colonial army has "liberated" the southern kingdom that was once a vassal of Ver, gained the right to rule here, and supported the puppets.

The former Anglo admiral of the Magpie Nest Dove is looking at a map in the palace. The bookshelf that was once cherished by the king here has now been packed and shipped back to England and sold to collectors. Now this bookshelf is used by him to store Leather boots, and a saber. This was his self-praise for conquering this country.

Oh, and he even started an officers' fraternity, oh, with the ladies of this Ittel. Oh, the Anglos pride themselves on winning by charm at such parties. But in fact, as the victors, they forced the ladies here to become "very easy, girls".

But after a year, he was in a very bad mood. He thought this was the end of this combat mission, but the mortals refused to admit defeat.

He has a series of thick battle reports in his hand. In each battle report, there are signs of the enemy's main force. However, if deployed according to these battle reports, the enemy will be everywhere.

This is Poma's skill, "false illusion", which projects three or four illusions with clearly visible internal operating structures. This illusion is not only an optical illusion, but also includes sound, ground vibration, and even the reflection of information enthalpy in the etheric world. Even artillery strikes can withstand four or five. Such illusions forced the Anglo defenders to distribute their troops to many places.

Just as the admiral began to angrily think about how to find an opportunity to get Princess Itel and relieve his anger.

However, at this moment, the sound of artillery suddenly interrupted his fantasy.

The tricolor flag of the Van people has appeared outside the city. The counterattack fire on the city wall was silenced during the explosion. The heavy armor of the Van people rushed into the city again after a year.

…The combat effectiveness of the imperialist army in the colonies has always been behind that of the local legions...

The so-called "wine and sex hurt people", and "prosperity" will dull the army. Because officers take the lead in enjoying prosperity, it is inevitable that discipline will be relaxed, and the army's discipline will be relaxed, and the combat effectiveness will most likely drop to one-tenth of the original.

After three hours of fighting, Poma captured the Anglo governor in the city. The naval governor hid in a special prop room that contained whips, candle oil, and collars.

Well, this secret room was obviously not built by the Anglos, but by the nobles of Itel, but it was obviously used frequently recently, and there was a salty smell inside.

When Poma captured the Anglo general, his soldiers, whether intentionally or out of evil, took off his white gloves and put on stockings for him. Poma shook his head helplessly at his men's "naughty" behavior, but he did not punish the soldiers, but verbally reprimanded them to return to the camp immediately and be on guard at any time.

However, Poma took a bottle of water and handed it to the Anglo governor, asking: "You are very powerful at sea, but why are you so "lower" in land combat?"

The Anglo admiral seemed to have really woken up from a dream at this time, looking at the breached city and said: "This is a soul-stirring place."

Poma nodded when he heard this answer: "Thank you for your answer."

…The Southern Continent is like the so-called "first beauty in the martial arts world", which only belongs to the strong...

After taking down Itel, Poma directly bypassed the appointment procedure of Vaner, and after meeting with local interest groups, he appointed officials for key positions in the region.

Poma moved the army out of the city and did not garrison directly in the city. Instead, he stationed in the fortresses around the city. As for the physiological needs of the soldiers, Poma asked the affairs officer of this area to cooperate in solving them.

As an occupying force, perhaps he wanted to be called a liberator, but there were more reasons: Poma refused the solicitation of the local nobles of Itel out of the need to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.

Money, wine, women, such stimulation, there is no need to indulge in the city.

Poma himself also seemed to show his loyalty to love, and did not accept the ambiguity of the princess of Iter!

In fact, as a politician with extremely sophisticated calculations, Poma knew that some "cannons" seemed to be free, but in fact they were expensive. The princess of Iter came up at this time, obviously wanting to use this as capital to talk about something.

For example, topics such as the restoration of the dynasty.

Poma, if he wanted to make the local area a stable supply of manpower and materials for his army, and then trade with the groups in Vaner, it would be impossible to let the inefficient Iter Kingdom rule back.

He would only symbolically support the royal family here as a symbol to maintain stability.

What? As for the operation of pulling out the ruthless? Eat clean and don't pay for free. ——It is feasible in theory, but in fact, the women of Iter are not so easy to fool.

Moreover, men who do that thing will be slow in thinking and reduce their intelligence. After reducing their intelligence, if they still use part of their energy in this aspect, it will be even more difficult to cope with complex situations. Poma's ambitions were very big. He was completely different from the Anglo general who only wanted to be an "overseas governor".

...A person's achievements depend on his initial pattern. The bigger the pattern, the more restraint he will have in small places from the beginning, and he will not fall into low levels. ...

After Liu Bang entered Xianyang, when he saw countless beauties and wealth, he finally chose to seal the palace, led his troops back to Bashang, and chose to stay in the same formation with the soldiers. This was better than those industrial-era philistines who made money by daydreaming, were careless about details, and changed beautiful female secretaries two thousand years later.

Wei Keng: Philistines think that since they are so rich, they should have (special) rights and indulge themselves, but they don't know that it is "their own feeling". The "people" who work with them see that their boss has this "virtue": (the leader) will attribute all the credit to himself as long as he succeeds a little, and waste energy on special hobbies instead of handling official business.

Such a leader may be very good at comforting himself for his "indulgence" and suggesting to himself: "What's wrong with enjoying yourself?" However, the followers in the team will no longer believe that this guy has the determination to "lead everyone".

What is "determination"? In the army, not standing alone and maintaining the military formation is the determination of the army. In career, looking at the "beautiful women and wealth" that are within reach, not seeking special treatment, not leaving the crowd, and still keeping eyes on the "goal agreed by everyone", this is the determination to do great things.

Wei Keng: Hollywood's individualism is the biggest "thinking pit" in the 21st century. How many people are "stupid" and don't know it, thinking that is "personality".

On June 9, 35, the news that Boma would fully recapture Iter was passed to the capital of Verne. The spirit of the entire Verne, which was originally a little exhausted in the bloody battle, received a dose of stimulant. The name of Boma suddenly resounded throughout the streets and alleys.

Of course, for the bigwigs of the Common Council, Boma's behavior of privately appointing local governors after recaptured Iter was a warning. Because this was a challenge to the Verne center.

However, in the Verne Mirror Palace, those giants wearing thick glasses had to lower their posture to Boma at this time.

Because the bloody battle now particularly needs cannon fodder, the recapture of the Verne colony means that the supply of cannon fodder resources will recharge the breath that was not taken in the early stage of the war.
