Chapter 643: It’s hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words
Gu Hang asked Gallardo to inform him about the situation on the northern and western fronts. In addition to the process of corruption, there were also some speculations about the current situation.
In today's situation, the enemy should no longer be recognized as a group of rebels, but should be treated as a cult infected with a pest virus.
Although this 'cult' is very special, not only having a large number of space warriors, but also expanding to thousands of worlds, they are still the type of insect pest cult. This is directly reflected in the huge differences in their motivations for action. Their ultimate goal is not to occupy, but to annihilate and then devour.
With this understanding, it would undoubtedly be foolish to look at the empire's two-front strategy.
Especially the Northern Line.
With the idea of stepping into Leya Douches first, they also treated the Iron Armor as a Space Marine Chapter, thinking that if they hit their home planet, they would give up everything and return to defense. This is simply stupid.
Apart from the fact that it sounds nice, the rest are all shortcomings.
Gu Hang judged that Leroy would suffer a big loss.
In comparison, the Western Front was a little better, but not much better.
Although they had done work on eliminating insect pests and infestations in many worlds on the Western Front battlefield, some of the methods were even very good, and Gu Hang learned and used them. However, it is inevitable that he has a similar mentality to LeRoy.
The situation he managed on the Western Front can only be said to be slightly better than the situation on the Northern Front that completely ignored the rear. But there is also a problem, that is, the swallowing space domain on the northern line still has strength, and the situation of being invaded is not that serious. It can wipe its own butt. The Maigret universe has been destroyed, and Salisius doesn't care much about it. He even has to allocate resources from the universe itself to support his expedition. Then the situation in the universe may be problematic.
The Western Front and the Northern Front each had their own difficulties.
Gu Hang didn't want to follow them and hurried to the Queen's Star Territory. This was the reason why.
He does not deny that he has the separatist mentality of local power leaders. Although he cannot admit it to the outside world, there is no need to lie to himself, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.
But even putting these aside, just from the perspective of a commander, Gu Hang also believes that stabilizing the situation in the rear, strangling the Zerg enemies' possible biomass harvesting behavior, and advancing step by step is a more reliable option. .
It is unwise to rush into the Queen's Star Territory recklessly.
The main forces on the western and northern fronts are likely to encounter situations where they face ruins everywhere, worlds that have been eaten clean one by one, and huge and countless insect swarms; Behind them, the neglected problems broke out intensively, and the new swarm of insects blocked their way out.
Gu Hang had already spread the warning, and Gallardo also said that he would help and warn the two commanders-in-chief on the Western Front and the Northern Front.
In this regard, he felt that he was too selfless. Even if he had conflicts with Mathieu Leroy, he would not forget to remind him and warn him.
However, Gu Hang is actually relatively pessimistic about the effectiveness of warnings.
Salisius may be a little better. Gu Hang has never had any dealings with this guy, so he doesn't know what his character is, but he is definitely not worse than that guy Mathieu Leroy.
As for the latter, Gu Hang was 90% sure that this person would not listen to the advice at all.
And it wasn't just the two commanders-in-chief in the west and north who refused to listen. As a messenger, could Gallardo speak to Gu Hang so sincerely?
The two have a good relationship, are firm political allies, and have generally the same interests... There is nothing wrong with that.
But it's generally consistent, but not completely consistent.
For example, there will be some differences between the two of them on this matter.
……
"Report to the Prime Minister! The warning has been sent to Commander-in-Chief Salisius and Commander-in-Chief Leroy!"
"Okay." Gallardo, who was adjusting his appearance, responded simply.
The secretary hesitated a little, but still said: "Is this enough? I'm afraid they won't take it seriously... Are you sure you don't need to communicate in person? It will be much more convincing."
"No need." Gallardo's attitude was still quite nonchalant, "This is just a reminder. It is to convey some opinions of the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Front to the commanders of the Northern and Western Fronts so that they can have a clear idea. Okay. Don't take it as a serious matter, let alone a suggestion or even an order to the frontline commanders. "
"If this is the case, I am afraid that the two chapter leaders on the front line will not pay much attention to Governor Gu's opinion and will continue to attack..."
"What's the harm in that?"
Gallardo's rhetorical question left his secretary in a daze for a moment.
Who doesn't know that his prime minister, his closest political ally, and the largest local support force is Governor Gu?
Previously, the secretary listened to every word of the phone call between Gallardo and Gu Hang.
Didn’t you promise well and help Governor Gu persuade him?
Gallardo sighed and said seriously: "There is nothing wrong with Xiao Gu's idea. It is better to be prudent. However, for such a large-scale military operation, in the end, it is the frontline commander's own idea. The empire appointed Commander, you should fully trust their judgment. Gu Hang judged that he should be cautious on the southern front, so he should proceed cautiously and step by step. As for the other two, if they received it. After Gu Hang’s intelligence and speculation, we still decided to continue the attack, so we should also trust their judgment. Gu Hang’s concerns are reasonable, but we also have to trust Chapter Commander Salisius and Marshal Leroy.”< br>
After saying this, he looked at his secretary again: "There is no reason to let the commander-in-chief of the southern front decide the overall strategy of the western and northern fronts, and there is no reason for us to directly interfere with the decision-making of the front-line commander while sitting in Holy Terra. The truth is, this is a taboo.”
"What's more... it's also very important to attack early and solve the problem of the princess as soon as possible. Now I go to persuade the two of them and let the Prime Minister and other high lords know. What will they think? The Prime Minister didn't even go Should I take the lead in directly interfering with military command?”
"The Prime Minister has given full support to the reconstruction of the main force on the Western Front. He is looking forward to the fact that Captain Salisius can lead the direct line of the Legion of the Sun to win the most important honors and achievements. If Leroy were to take it, That will once again boost the reputation of the traditional Space Marine group, and the Prime Minister will not be happy.”
Upon hearing this, his secretary suddenly realized. If you take this aspect into consideration, it really shouldn’t be advised.
Moreover, he was able to draw inferences from one instance and figure out another thing.
The Western Front represents the Prime Minister, and the Northern Front represents the prestige of the traditional Space Marines in the empire. This is determined by the formation method and composition of the main forces on the two fronts. So what does the Southern Line represent? Gu Hang on the southern route, of course, represents Prime Minister Gallardo.
It was precisely because of this that the secretary was worried about Gallardo before.
Those two fronts are about to march into Iron Armor's heartland. The southern front is still dawdling under the command of Commander Gu. After victory, won't the credit belong to others?
Since Governor Gu is unwilling to march, he should find a way to stop the western and northern fronts and let them "fight steadily". That would be good.
But thinking about it more carefully, it seems that this is not the case.
It is true that Gu Hang on the southern front represents Gallardo, but does the western front only represent the Prime Minister?
No.
The opportunity for the reconstruction of the main force on the Western Front came from Gallardo's defeat of the former Prime Minister of the Ministry of Justice Ogüren. This move was achieved with the support of Prime Minister Qi Bodu, and after Ogüren fell and Gallardo took the high lord's seat, it also helped Prime Minister Qi Bodu to form the main force on the Western Front. During the process, a lot of effort was put into the situation where the Ministry of Military Affairs was close to the waterfront, on a first-come-first-served basis and the business was very close.
From this perspective, the success of the Western Front also means the success of Gallardo.
If that's the case, what's the advice?
This is clearly the best situation right now!
If Leroy led the northern battlefield to put down the princess's rebellion as the most important achievement, then not only the Prime Minister would be unhappy, but Gallardo would also be unhappy. When you can't count on Gu Hang, it's only natural to count on Salisius, who is indeed stronger.
And once the situation changes, the battle situation in the Queen's Star Territory is really a trap, as Gu Hang has judged. The threat from the rear is particularly great, which ultimately leads to the deterioration of the situation. Nagarardo can also accept it: I am taking Gu Hang's place. The two commanders of the course have issued warnings, and it’s all your fault for not listening!
Moreover, when the time comes, there will be only one Miaomiao left on the southern route. By coincidence, he is my good brother Gallardo!
Even if you step back ten thousand steps and say that the situation you least want to see happens, that is, Leroy wins the highest honor, so what?
The Western Front must take a lot of credit for cleaning up the mess left by Phoenix, and Gallardo deserves a share of that.
The southern front destroyed the Alfonzo sect, which was a real achievement. In any case, it can be regarded as the second greatest achievement in the entire counter-insurgency campaign.
To put it bluntly, Gallardo is the most stable person no matter what, and he will never lose money no matter what.
In this case, what else is there to worry about?
After thinking about these things, the secretary's mood became much more stable.
He relaxed his brows, smiled and followed Gallardo, who had already walked out of the house, all the way to the balcony, and then walked out. There was already a floating car waiting on the landing pad.
After getting on the float car, just a moment later, they arrived at a banquet hall.
Following Gallardo, the secretary looked at the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs and talked cordially with the senior officials on Holy Terra one after another. I saw him talking about Gu Hang from time to time, praising his victory in Alfonzo, praising him for being extremely far-sighted, steady and able to stabilize a front.
When talking about Marshal Leroy's criticism of Gu Hang, Gallardo would also cleverly defend Gu Hang in many aspects, and by the way, he would praise Salisius for taking down Rheadoches. It's not necessarily who it is, Leroy might really suffer a big loss as Gu Hang warned.
The more he listened, the more the secretary felt that his Prime Minister was really powerful!
……
Of course Gu Hang didn't know about the things on Holy Terra.
I don’t care if I know.
He could guess what Gallardo might be thinking.
But it doesn't matter.
Everything that needs to be said has been said; everything that needs to be done has been done.
If you still don’t listen, forget it.
Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.
The only thing worth worrying about is that if they really destroy the western and northern fronts again and only Gu Hang is left on the southern front, the pressure will be too great.
Thinking of this, Gu Hang was also quite annoyed.
This is not just a pig teammate, but a pig teammate with whom he has a bad relationship. It doesn’t matter if you save it, or if you don’t save it.
But no matter what, Gu Hang would not lead his direct troops to die in the Queen's Star Territory without knowing the enemy's situation.
At most, he can only increase the intelligence and investigation intensity invested in the Queen's Star Territory, and at the same time increase the intensity of contact with the Western and Northern Fronts.
Let’s not talk about the bad relations on the northern front. At least on the western front, we must understand their strategic dynamics as much as possible.
Not to mention being able to help at critical moments, but at least you need to know what is happening in the Queen's Star Territory at any time.
