Chapter 214 From the Military Important Personnel
"Earl Brandlis, what do you want the Navy to do?" The Admiral did not immediately agree to Purficott's request, but instead wanted to know more.
As an admiral, he is naturally qualified to know what Perficott is doing in the north.
Whether she can successfully complete her plan in the north is related to the life and death of the entire empire. In this case, no one dares to trouble Perficott.
Even the aristocratic parliament and the democratically elected parliament, which are usually the most aggressive, have remained silent and cooperated sincerely on this matter, instead of trying to seize power and divide benefits as usual, let alone no one Dare to stand up to Perficott, the Earl of the North, at this critical stage.
There may be some people who are dissatisfied with the fact that Perfecote is just a female figure, but she has proven her ability with her strength and achievements, and also proved from another perspective that she is irreplaceable.
In this case, let alone the navy, not even the noble council had the idea of replacing her.
So the admiral has no intention of letting the navy intervene in the north to sideline Perfectcott.
If he really plans to do this, then all the responsibilities will be transferred to the Navy. It's okay if the thing is done, but if it is messed up, the Navy will be in doom.
As for whether the Navy can accomplish this? The admiral is still aware of this. It's okay for them to fight, but to engage in construction? Although the Navy itself has some engineering and construction capabilities, it is not strong enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of building shelters in the north.
In comparison, the Army may be more successful in this regard, but they also dare not guarantee that they can shoulder this responsibility.
Because of this, when Purficott said that she needed someone to do the work for her so that she could free up her hands to do other things, all the admirals and army generals thought about were Purficot had something for them to help with, rather than thinking it was a good opportunity to intervene in the north.
Faced with the recognition of the two generals, Purficott said nothing more, but said to them: "I need to borrow your logistics system. The construction of the northern border requires a large amount of materials. I need The navy helps transport supplies from the mainland and the New World colonies to the north, while the army needs to help build some projects.
For well-known reasons, the north now has a serious shortage of qualified managers, so you still need to lend them. Some excellent logistics managers are responsible for helping with related matters.”
These matters should have been handled by the managers of the Northern Territory, but although Purficott had people recruited in Langton, But that can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.
You must know that this is the entire northern border, not just one or two cities. Especially since there are almost no indigenous people and aborigines in the area to use, and there are no settlements established by the pioneers themselves. It is impossible to replicate the colonial management model.
Hearing that Purficott said that he wanted to borrow people, the admiral and admiral looked at each other and quickly made a decision: "The New World Squadron of the Navy is at your disposal. In addition, we will Raise at least twenty cargo ships to form a transport fleet to provide transportation services to the north. "
"The army will send an army-level logistics team to the north. You can use them at will, Little Purficott." The army general was also very straightforward and directly gave the maximum commitment within his own rights: "If you still need people, you can make a report yourself and say that you want to expand the army. Within the scope of a group army, the military headquarters will not There will be any restrictions."
"Okay, give me the officer corps by the way." Purficott thought for a while and decided to also come with the army officers.
In the military establishment of the Victoria Empire, generally speaking, only the officer corps and logistics team are full in the group army. The combat troops only retain establishments and officers in units above the regiment. Only when encountering war, will they Recruiting soldiers to join the army will fill up the numbers. This is naturally done to reduce logistical pressure and avoid the need to maintain huge military expenditures in peacetime.
Under normal circumstances, regiment-level combat units only have one-third of their troops to maintain the proportion of veterans, and will not fill up the establishment.
Of course, troops such as the Guards Regiment, City Guards and Colonial Garrison will still remain at full strength to deal with emergencies.
If the three countries had declared war on Victoya before, and the empire had responded in a conventional manner, it would have started a large-scale recruitment and mobilization to fill up each establishment, and then send them to the front line to fill the lines.
This also resulted in the fact that although it was a group army in name, the troops that could actually be used for combat may not be as good as the Guards Division in the hands of Perfectcott.
Naturally, what Purficott wants is not a complete army group, but these officers and logistics teams with management experience, so that she can directly leave the shelter construction task to them and save herself some trouble.
As for the troops used for combat, the 17th Guards Division, which will go north after the spring, and the White Bear Knights on her hands are completely sufficient.
The Army General hesitated when he heard that Purficott wanted the officer corps. He thought for a while before replying: "I can't make the decision. I need to go back and discuss it within the military department, but it should be It's not a big problem, it's just the officer corps."
"Then I'll wait for your good news." Seeing that the matter was settled, Perficott nodded with satisfaction and was about to send these two people away. The general will leave.
But the two admirals came all the way here, so naturally they couldn't just go back empty-handed. They had to get some benefits from Purficott.
"Your Majesty, about the flying stone..." the admiral said shyly to Perficott, but before he could finish speaking, Perficott raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
Perfect took out the Flying Stone from his arms, showed it in front of the two admirals, and said: "This is the Flying Stone, a substance that does not exist in nature. It is what I use The fantasy element created by the Philosopher's Stone
Because of this, it can completely violate the laws of nature, allowing people to become lighter than air and fly directly.
I have just said that the Philosopher's Stone is needed to make it, so this is the only one currently available.
If you think you can find a more powerful alchemist than me, then take it and find someone. Study it or stop chatting with me, old man.”
After Purficott said this, the two generals could only express that everything was in accordance with Purficott's wishes, and then left with a bit of disappointment.
