"Everything you love to say has some truth."
Seeing that all the important officials of the empire expressed their opinions one after another, Chen Ziang also nodded slightly.
"Li Aiqing is right. The empire was established not long ago, and now it is surrounded by powerful enemies. We should not put the empire in danger."
Chen Ziang also affirmed Li Qiye's opinion to a certain extent, that is, the empire should avoid fighting on two fronts.
"So the Ministry of Rites sent envoys to the Holy See as soon as possible to negotiate with them and avoid the outbreak of war as much as possible." Chen Ziang said to Pang Lun, the head of the Ministry of Rites.
"Of course, peace talks are possible, but Saint Thunder City is my homeland in the Far East after all. Since we have taken it back, there is no reason to throw it away."
The Holy Thunder City was brought back by the soldiers of the empire at the cost of their blood and lives, so Chen Ziang naturally didn't want to be stabbed in the back.
Therefore, the bottom line of his peace talks is to ensure that St. Lei City belongs to the Far East, otherwise, there is no need for peace talks.
"But if we don't give up on Saint Thunder City, I guess the Holy See will not let it go." Li Qiye said worriedly.
"It's okay, it's good if the peace talks can be delayed for a while. If it can be delayed for a year or so, that would be the best."
In fact, the Far Eastern Empire is not afraid of the Holy See, it's just that they don't want to cause more trouble.
"Your Majesty, I have no objection to the peace talks. After all, with the current strength of the empire, if war can be avoided, war will be avoided. Let us rest and recuperate for a few more years. When we become stronger, we will be able to straighten our backs." said Yue Shan, Chief of the Criminal Department.
"It's just that we have to prepare both ways. On the one hand, we will send envoys to negotiate peace with the Holy See, and on the other hand, we must be prepared to deal with the deterioration of the situation."
After Yue Shan, the Chief of the Criminal Department's words fell, everyone nodded one after another, thinking that what he said made sense.
"That's natural. If they can't reach an agreement, they will fight, and we will naturally accompany them." Chen Ziang agreed.
"In order to ensure that the Yunzhong Province can cope with the possible invasion of the Holy See, and to facilitate the dispatch and command of military supplies, I propose to form the second imperial field army in the Yunzhong Province. What do you think?" Chen Ziang cast his gaze on everyone.
In order to deal with the pressure from Hanhai, they have formed the first field army.
Facing pressure from the Holy See, Chen Ziang decided to form a second army in Yunzhong Province.
"Weichen thinks it's feasible."
"The field army has been formed, which can dispatch and command the various ministries more conveniently. I have no objection."
After all, there is a precedent for forming the first field army, so everyone can accept it in their hearts.
"The candidate for the commander of the Second Field Army, who do you think is worthy of the big job?" Chen Zi'ang asked again.
"Duke Zhen Guo has made outstanding military exploits and is well-known for his prestige. He is qualified to be the commander of the second field army." Li Qiye, chief of the Ministry of War, said.
As an outstanding general of the Far East Empire, Li Lang is first-class in terms of prestige and qualifications.
Especially not long ago, they won a great victory in the cloud, took back the Holy Thunder City, and wiped out 100,000 enemies.
It can be said that he is well-deserved to be promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Second Field Army.
"Mr. Dingguo is familiar with the Holy See. He once led an expedition to the Holy See to deter the enemy, which is enough to be a great task." Qin An, the Chief of Staff, recommended Fatty Lu.
Fatty Lu is Chen Ziang's direct general, and he has also made a lot of contributions. In this great victory in the cloud, he led the fierce tiger troops to fight, and the two banner regiments under his command both won the collective first-class merit.
"How about this, Duke of Zhen Li Lang will be the commander of the Second Field Army, Duke Ding Lu Fugui will be the deputy commander of the Second Field Army, and Pang Biao will be promoted to the commander of the Second Field Army."
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ziang felt that it would be more appropriate for Li Lang to be the commander of the Second Field Army.
After all, the main force of the army in Yunzhong Province is the Second Field Army, and it is easier to command Li Lang.
Moreover, Li Lang also has the ability to stand on his own. With the assistance of Fatty Lu, the two of them are enough to cope with the pressure of the Holy See.
Seeing that Chen Ziang had made a decision, everyone naturally had no objection. As for who should be the commander of the Second Army, it was actually the same for them.
If they object, they will offend people instead. They have been in court for so long, so they naturally know that some people can be offended, and some people can't.?.
"Your Majesty, which units are under the jurisdiction of the Second Field Army?" Li Qiye, the chief of the Ministry of War, asked for instructions.
Chen Zi'ang replied: "The Second Field Army and the Fierce Tiger Army belong to the Second Field Army."
Li Qiye looked worried: "If the Holy See really pours an army of one million to attack, it is estimated that it will be difficult to stop it with the current strength of the Second Field Army."
"I don't know if your military department has a good countermeasure?" Chen Ziang asked back.
"Wei Chen suggested forming a new army, which should be under the command of the Second Field Army to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Second Field Army." Li Qiye replied.
"Form a new legion?"
"It is easy to form a new legion, but it is not easy to quickly form a combat force."
?Everyone is talking about it. After all, building an army is not just talk. If you want to be able to fight, you need at least half a year of training.
After Fatty Lu's fierce tiger unit was formed, it was also brought to the territory of Baishan Province to fight against bandits, otherwise, it would not have shined on the battlefield.
"It's better to draw a few security flag regiments from various provinces and form them into a new legion to supplement the second field army." Li Qiye suggested.
"But now there is only one security banner group in each province, and each security banner group is responsible for the order of more than ten prefectures and more than one hundred counties in the province. Let us mess ourselves up." Qin An, chief of the Ministry of Officials, objected to this.
For Qin An, Chief of the Ministry of Officials, internal stability is the top priority. If there is internal chaos, even if the outside is victorious, the foundation of the empire will be shaken.
"Then don't draw out the security banner regiment, are you recruiting recruits?"
Seeing Qin An, the chief of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, contradicting himself, Li Qiye, the chief of the military department, was also full of anger.
At the beginning, he objected to publicizing the Great Victory in the Cloud, and Qin An and others happily wanted to publicize it, but now the provocative Holy See wants to take revenge.
Now that he was going to recruit troops to go to the border, Qin An jumped out again and said that in order to stabilize the place, he was very displeased with Qin An's actions.
"The Holy See can recruit young men into the army, so can we."
Chen Ziang said: "We have had more than ten batches of veterans withdraw from the army in the past year. They are all soldiers with rich combat experience. As long as they return to the army, they only need a short period of training to form a combat team. force."
After the establishment of the Far Eastern Empire, the veterans of the imperial army who had been fighting for several years were gradually disarmed and returned to the fields in accordance with the requirements of the empire.
Now all the legions of the empire are also replenished with fresh blood one after another, and veterans actually only account for 30%.
Now that the empire is facing the threat of war again, Chen Ziang decided to recruit these veterans again to form a new legion to protect the country and the people.
After hearing Chen Ziang's words, everyone's eyes lit up, and they felt that if veterans were recruited, they could indeed form combat power in a short period of time.
What's more, after these veterans are disarmed and returned to the fields, most of them have already married and started businesses. In order to defend their homeland, they will have a more sense of responsibility and responsibility! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
