Chapter 1777 A Famous General
Relying on its outstanding achievements over the years, the Haihan Army is now one of the most famous and powerful armies in East Asia. To the outside world, in addition to its powerful ships and cannons, the Haihan Army is also a widely discussed topic. The famous generals of Haihan. Among them, Qian Tiandun, who has been fighting overseas for nearly ten years and brought out an elite division such as the Special Operations Independent Regiment, has attracted the most attention.
Since he leads troops overseas all year round, Qian Tiandun rarely appears in the public eye. Even many citizens of his country don't know what General Qian, who wins battles abroad every year, looks like. However, there are many rumors about this ever-victorious general. There are at least dozens of folk storytellers and chapter novels with him as the main character. As for the wild legends such as Wu Quxing's descent to the earth and Guan Erye's reincarnation, there are countless others.
Even within the Haihan military, there are quite a few soldiers who regard Qian Tiandun as a role model and idol, and are striving to become a famous general like him. Even Qian Tiandun's reclusive living habits have become one of the characteristics that military officers strive to imitate.
But having said that, Qian Tiandun was able to stand out among the Haihan Army. In addition to his own hard power, to a certain extent, it was also the factor that made heroes due to circumstances. At that time, there were not many professional soldiers in the Crossing Group who could lead troops, and Qian Tiandun's military qualities were indeed outstanding among them. In order to be able to control the energy producing area of Black Earth Port, the Crossing Group gave him full trust and allowed him to do it on his own. A direct force was formed in Annan, which is the prototype of today's independent special operations regiment.
Later, the Executive Committee also gave Qian Tiandun full trust and support, allowing his troops to always be equipped with the most advanced weapons and serve as the main combat force in various large and small battles. After years of accumulation of military exploits, Qian Tiandun finally became a famous general. tall image. Of course, the role played by Haihan's propaganda department is also indispensable. Many folk stories about Qian Tiandun actually have traces of official operations behind them. Creating such a heroic image is also a great positive for Haihan. significance.
However, Qian Tiandun himself doesn't particularly care about these false reputations. He has spent more than half of the past ten years overseas, and has long been far away from the power center of the Travel Group. He does not pursue much material enjoyment, so National Day As soon as the military parade and exercises ended on the same day, Qian Tiandun took a vacation of his own and took his wife Luo Wudan to go to sea to enjoy the holiday.
In fact, Qian Tiandun, like other military generals, received many invitations to banquets and visits. However, he had little interest in these social activities. He politely declined those he was not familiar with, and sent someone to send one to those he knew. It makes sense that the thank you gift has gone by and that no one has arrived. Although his airs seemed a bit big, usually no one could argue with him, and a response would be a great honor.
The people sent by Yan Chujie first went to Qian Tiandun's residence in Sanya. Naturally, they were in vain. After many inquiries, they found out that Qian Tiandun and his wife had gone to sea from Victory Port. Immediately, he rushed to the port to check the records. Qian Tiandun borrowed the Speedy catamaran registered in the name of the North American gang, brought enough crew members, and replenished the food and water needed for ten days. It seemed that he planned to sail at sea Stay a few more days.
As for his specific whereabouts, Qian Tiandun did not leave any message at the port. The only possible way to contact him at the moment is probably to talk to the radio station on the Speedy. But this matter could not be handled until Yan Chujie approved it and obtained authority. Therefore, after the officer in charge of the matter ran back and forth between Fort Victory and the port several times, he finally had no choice but to inform Yan Chujie of the situation and let him handle it personally.
After Yan Chujie understood the situation, he was a little dumbfounded. There was certainly nothing wrong with Qian Tiandun's actions. This was also his right. It was just that at this critical moment, he needed to seek his opinion but couldn't find anyone, which was really troublesome. There is indeed a radio on the Speedy, and it is a good thing that was brought over when traveling ten years ago. However, in order to save its service life, it is generally not turned on at any time even when going to sea. At most, it is turned on regularly to receive information to announce that it is safe. However, based on Qian Tiandun's habit, he probably wouldn't turn on the radio proactively if nothing happened, and it might take several days to contact him.
At this time, Qian Tiandun and his wife Luo Wudan were lying side by side on the beach chair of the Speedy, enjoying the sunbath. There were various fresh fruits on the small table next to them, and several crew members returned to the cabin with great interest. The space on the rear deck was entirely reserved for the two of them.
"The radio station is turned off. No one can find me now. I can finally live a clean life for a few days." Qian Tiandun said calmly: "Don't you always complain about not having a holiday? This time you can enjoy a few days quietly. , we will go back to Sanya when you have enough fun.”
Luo Wudan said: "I'm afraid you still can't worry about the army."
"The troops have had nothing to do recently!" Qian Tiandun responded lazily: "The Executive Committee has approved the independent regiment to stay in Sanya until the new garrison order is issued. I guess it is either Hainan Island or Annan. In short, it should be I can live a stable life for a year or two. Even Gao Qiaonan has given me a leave report. I have granted him half a month's leave so that he can have a good rest, go on more blind dates, and try to solve his personal problems as soon as possible. ”
"Don't talk about Gao Qiaonan, when will our family's affairs be resolved?" Luo Wudan asked.
The two got married and had a two-year-old son. However, Qian Tiandun had been commanding operations in Liaodong for the past two years, and the living conditions there were very difficult, so Qian Tiandun arranged for Luo Wudan and his son to live in Zhoushan, Zhejiang. , the family also spends less time together and more separation. It was fine when the child was young, but when he reached school age in a few years, Luo Wudan hoped to send the child back to Sanya for education. After all, the top teaching resources in Haihan Kingdom are concentrated in Sanya. Many knowledge that only time travelers have can't be learned overseas. The biological children of time travelers will definitely be sent back to Sanya to go to school.
When the Executive Committee designed this plan to concentrate educational resources, one of the purposes was to force these overseas local officials and military generals to send their descendants back to Sanya, so that these second-generation people could receive education while also having a good time. A kind of hostage in disguise. However, everyone knows that this arrangement is also for the stability of the country's political situation, so as to prevent officials who hold power outside from becoming interested, so no one will ever question this approach - whoever opposes it is simply moved. Other thoughts.
With Qian Tiandun's status, arranging such trivial matters is not a problem. There will also be relevant departments in Sanya responsible for contacting him. Whether he returns to Sanya or not will not matter. However, Luo Wudan loves her son so much that she will definitely come back with her son to accompany him as a student. Of course, she also hopes that Qian Tiandun can move his residence back to Sanya. Such a family reunion can provide a complete family environment for the son in the future.
But Luo Wudan also knows that this is easy to think about, but will face many difficulties in doing it. First of all, her husband is the most famous general in Haihan's army. He commands Haihan's most elite combat troops. He has participated in most of the foreign wars, and wars in Haihan's future external expansion are inevitable. The earth needs Qian Tiandun and his direct troops to participate in the war. I am afraid it will be difficult to spend much time in Sanya to live a peaceful life. It is extremely rare to take advantage of the tenth anniversary of time travel to return to Sanya for vacation. Secondly, even if the Executive Committee agrees to allow Qian Tiandun and the Special Operations Independent Regiment to return to the south to be stationed, they should not be deployed in the Sanya garrison. That would really kill a chicken with a knife and waste the powerful strength of the independent regiment. combat effectiveness. Of course, if Qian Tiandun voluntarily gave up the command of the Independent Regiment and returned to Fort Victory to become a Taiping general, no one could force him to do so, but Luo Wudan knew that this was impossible. Her husband The enthusiasm for marching and fighting is far higher than anything else, even more than the concern for their mother and son.
On the one hand, it is Qian Tiandun's own love for his military career and his hope to continue to command the army in combat; on the other hand, the Executive Committee and the country also have high hopes for Qian Tiandun, who will continue to expand territory for the country in the days to come. , kill the enemy and make meritorious service. Under such circumstances, it was basically impossible for Luo Wudan to persuade Qian Tiandun to give up his military power and return to Sanya as a civilian military attaché.
But even though he knew this situation, Luo Wudan still wanted to try to persuade her husband to change his mind, at least to give him a rough plan for his life in a few years. Otherwise, when the children go to school, the couple will still be separated in two places and not see each other for a long time, which will be really a torture for Luo Wudan.
Qian Tiandun didn't know what his wife was thinking, but from his point of view, there were still too many things that he couldn't let go of, and he was indeed unwilling to give up his military power and go home to retire at this stage. Ten years ago, he chose to give up everything and participate in the time-travel operation. His main purpose was to make achievements in the military field and become a famous general famous in war history.
So far, Qian Tiandun has been going relatively smoothly on the road to realizing his dream. Regardless of the resources, equipment, military expenditures, and operational authority, Qian Tiandun has almost received the best supplies, and his performance has been improving all the way. He has never been defeated on the battlefield. Both the official and the private sector have given him high praise, and he has even begun to transition from a "famous general" to a "military god."
Qian Tiandun was not inflated because of this. He knew very well how much of the resources he could control depended on the country's supply. The so-called famous generals were actually similar to Haihan in terms of military system, military technology, strategy and tactics, and logistics support. The advantages he possesses are all inseparable, and it is not just him who can support the independent group's dazzling record. If Yan Chujie, Roger or Wang Tom were to command this unit, I believe the results would not be much worse than his.
Moreover, this model of elite troops is constantly being copied in the Haihan Army. Harugong's cavalry battalion, Roger's Nanhai Independent Battalion, and Wang Tom's Marine Corps were all developed in a similar model. The combat effectiveness of special forces is not much worse than that of early special operations battalions. This means that not all critical combat tasks will be handed over to Qian Tiandun's troops, and several other troops are also capable of competing for these tasks.
Of course, with Haihan's current military strength, if it were to face a large-scale battle from another country, these elite troops would have to act together and cooperate with each other. For example, the two battles in the Golden State Isthmus and Manila, one in the south and one in the north, were the result of coordinated operations by several elite groups. Although Qian Tiandun's troops acted as the main force, the results were indeed won by several troops together. Therefore, he knows that although the outside world has given him a title of famous general, in fact, the military achievements he has achieved at this stage are not personal merits.
If Qian Tiandun wants to continue to prove his ability, he must have more opportunities to command operations, and staying in Sanya as a Taiping general means that he will hand over many combat tasks, which is unacceptable to him. A situation to be accepted.
"Our family's affairs... don't worry! Isn't Xiaobao still young?" Qian Tiandun didn't want to respond directly to his wife's question, so he resorted to procrastination as usual.
"How small is small, how big is big!" Luo Wudan was not happy when he heard his tone: "You didn't mean that you can immediately arrange the transfer to Sanya. The positions in the Ministry of National Defense are all carrots and pitfalls. If you don’t say hello earlier, how will the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense arrange errands for you?”
Qian Tiandun responded helplessly: "This kind of transfer is not something I can do whatever I want. I still have to listen to the arrangements from above!"
Luo Wudan sat up from the beach chair and said to Qian Tiandun very seriously: "Think clearly, with your current qualifications and military exploits, if you actively apply to be transferred back to Fort Victory to sit in an office, besides the deputy minister, What other positions can be arranged for you? ”
Luo Wudan is not exaggerating when he says this. Among the big bosses in the military, Yan Chujie’s position is basically untouchable, and besides him, the other leading generals have been away for a long time, so the Ministry of National Defense currently has no Deputy Minister exists. If we want to rank based on seniority, then Qian Tiandun and Wang Tom are probably the most competitive candidates. Wang Tom should have a little more advantage because he is the commander of the navy.
But Wang Tom is even more free and easy-going than Qian Tiandun. Although he is married and has children, he has no plans to quit the front line and settle in China. His goal is the same as Qian Tiandun's, he also hopes to realize his dream of becoming a famous general by leading troops in war. Haihan's long-term plan based on the development of the ocean actually gave Wang Tom greater room for development. Therefore, in the past few years, Wang Tom has also been constantly fighting in the north and south, and he has participated in the maritime industry almost without fail. Han Dynasty has been at war in the past two or three years.
If Wang Tom does not return to Sanya to take charge, it means that Qian Tiandun has no competitors. The situation analyzed by Luo Wudan is indeed very likely to come true.
