While Su Weihua said, he took out some information from his briefcase and handed it to Li Junwei first. Li Junwei looked at it and frowned.

He was not the one who could read such written reports seriously, not to mention that the materials were written completely without 46, and there were many inaccuracies in the words, and some languages ​​were similar to those of elementary school students. Su Weihua quickly explained that it turned out that these materials came from the translation of some Swedish Army's documentary reports, and were first-hand materials. Because there were too many and involved confidentiality, Su Weihua came back from Sweden and sorted them out all the way, but in the end, many of them were not completed.

Fortunately, Li Junwei doesn’t need to finish reading these, Su Weihua can explain.

Judging from the interrogation of captured Russian generals, the Russian army besieged Narva had 37,000 troops, not only these troops, but the Russian army had the limit that the Russian army could provide. The army of this scale was also the result of Russia's mobilization of hundreds of thousands of serfs, and forced many Cossacks from the Southern Russian region.

Obviously, if the Swedish army only went deeper by less than 10,000 people around King Carl, it would be a death sentence. After concentrating the main force, it would need to organize large-scale supplies. The south side of the battlefield was neither hostile Polish and Saxony coalition, nor betrayed Livornian nobles. How could these people serve the Swedish army in an organized manner?

Su Weihua concluded from this that the Swedish army would give up its march on Moscow and instead head south to attack Poland.

Soon many officers supported Su Weihua's opinion. In the eyes of the officers, the Polish Federation was obviously a better enemy to defeat. If you defeat Poland and attack Moscow from Poland and Lithuania, there would be no supply problem. Along the way, there will be a densely populated Eastern European plains, rather than the Nordic wastelands like Inglia and Novgorod, which have a very low level of development.

Su Weihua finally said: "Your Highness, during his tenure as Swedish military adviser, Bei Zhi and General Jiang had an in-depth understanding of King Carl. We believe that the young king's view on war is not what the country thinks is about saving the nation or revenge. His war plan will not be short-term, not just defeating the anti-Swedish alliance. He should want to become the overlord of the Nordic, and he wants to conquer the Politic Federation and even the entire Russia.

So he should have a long-term plan, to advance lightly and take Moscow directly, obviously not in line with the considerations of long-term strategy."

Li Junwei gave others a chance to express his opinions. After listening to the speeches of several people, he felt that it was not reliable. He asked Shaojie that among the officers in the combat office, many of the staff officers from the army must have insightful opinions if they want to make a name for themselves. Sometimes they even have to speak amazingly. Having unique insights is the only way to do it.

Therefore, these people can express their own opinions, but most of them are extensions of personal styles or strategic considerations of leaders of the participating warring countries such as Carl, and seriously lacking the basis for combining facts. This is different from Su Weihua. The opinions he said combine two facts he can determine.

First, the road from Narva to Moscow was deserted and could not maintain the supply of the army in a short time.

Secondly, the coalition forces of the Poli Federation and Saxony were in the south, with the Livonian rebellion nobles behind them, and the Moscow city and the main force of the Russian army. If the Swedish army goes deeper, as long as it is defeated once, the entire army will be destroyed.

Su Weihua's opinion is reasonable and combined with facts. Li Junwei tends to his opinion, but he does not support it directly, but says: "General Su, your opinion is more reasonable. I need you to touch people from the Military Intelligence Bureau and diplomatic system to see if you can reach a unified opinion, and then submit it to me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Li Junwei pointed at Shaojie: "Let Shaojie follow you. He is a long-term person by my side and is familiar with everyone. It is more handy to help you do things."

Su Weihua naturally would not refuse. He was missing such a deputy who could handle all relations.

Li Junwei asked: "Have all the people in the combat office arrived today?"

"The main personnel are here, but Chief Pei of Xijin said that after a while, some intern officers will be sent, it will probably not come until the New Year." Shaojie said.

Li Junwei nodded: "Then let's not wait for it. Come on, everyone, let's take a photo together to celebrate the establishment of the combat office."

After taking a group photo, he took photos with King Yu in accordance with different background systems such as the Imperial Guard, Army and Navy.

After taking a photo, Li Junwei said, "Do you know why this department is called the Battle Department, not the Staff Department?"

Everyone was puzzled. In fact, the order received by the various military systems was to select young and outstanding officers, serve in front of King Yu, and praise the military aircraft. It was precisely because of this order that all parties had added officers from staff or professional staff in military academy to the team.

But who would have thought that when I arrived in Ceuta, I realized that this was called the combat office. When I was able to accept the mission, everyone found that their current responsibilities were no different from those of the staff, but were actually the responsibilities of the combat staff.

Li Junwei didn't beat him, and explained it directly to everyone.

This is a new department established by Lee Junwei and Lee Su based on the lessons learned from the American War.

During the American War, the empire dispatched troops from the local area, African territories and overseas provinces, and then recruited troops on the spot to fight. Although it finally won, many problems were discovered. One of the key issues was that the grassroots commanders had not yet fully understood the strategic intentions of the senior leaders.

You should know that there were no decisive battles between large corps and brigade-level battles during the American War. Most of the time, infantry, cavalry and artillery were used as units, or detachments were drawn to form detachments to fight in depth. Such detachments generally had an artillery company, one or a half infantry battalion, two or three cavalry squadrons, and commanders were often lieutenant colonels and colonel officers who were infantry or artillery.

In fact, after the American War penetrated into Peru, Li Junwei had two main intentions. The first was to "raise military expenses" and get the wealth of the colonists as much as possible. The second was to liquidate the colonists. To put it bluntly, it was to steal money and kill people.

However, the grassroots officers were stubborn and regarded the number of captured enemies as the highest standard for military success, and placed the two strategic intentions behind military achievements, which caused many problems.

On the contrary, the Yi army from the African development company did not have this problem. They were used to rob money, grain, and women, but the problem was that these people did not distinguish between enemies, and class, and random looting also caused many problems.

At that time, front-line commanders at all levels sent officers around them to supervise, but these officers often could not directly interfere in command.

More importantly, the military chiefs have lived in the army for a long time, and there is no question of political awareness or depth of thought. However, fighting in overseas colonies is the most important thing for military and political grasp, and their minds must be lively.

It was precisely because of these lessons that Li Junwei decided to set up a combat office around himself and King Rong Li Su, and select some young officers to train them. Once a war broke out, these officers would be sent to the front line, either command mixed troops or serve as chief of staff for the military chief, to ensure that the strategic intentions and political demands of the senior leaders could be implemented.

The officers in the combat office were all ready to go to the front line after hearing Li Junwei's words. They never expected that they would have the opportunity to go to the front line. You should know that the imperial army is the first priority for military merits. In wars, the front line commanders received the most honors and rewards.

"Your Highness, are we going to participate in the Great Northern War?" asked a naval officer.

Most of the officers in the combat office laughed. If they participated in the Great Northern War, the main force would start directly from Xijin and the far-reaching Kernel and go deep into the heart of Russia. Not to mention their group of school officials, even major generals might not have the power of command, and it would not be their turn.

Li Junwei pressed with one hand and signaled to Jing Jing. He said: "The main combat areas of the combat office are the American colonies, mainly North America and Central America. Therefore, your mission here is not only to provide professional military advice to the king, but also to be familiar with the situation in various regions.

In addition, I want to tell you a sure news that the Spanish King Carlos II has passed away. Everyone, you are going to participate in the Spanish War of Succession of the Throne."

After Li Junwei finished speaking, he announced that the meeting was over and left the combat office. In the combat hall, he was silent for a while, and then there was a violent cheer, which was about to lift the roof.

Everyone is grateful that at this critical moment in life, there is such an opportunity to show their ambitions. After cheering, Shaojie said: "Sir, please be careful not to be impatient. The General Affairs Office of King Yuxingying has arranged an office for everyone. I have a form here, please settle your work location first."

After posting the form, Shaojie walked to Su Weihua and said, "Sir Su, please follow me, your office has been cleaned up."

"Shaojie, you have not seen you for many years, and you are becoming more and more stable." Su Weihua joked. He and Shaojie knew each other. When Shaojie entered Batulu Camp for the first time, Su Weihua was the examiner.

"Students are trying to make new contributions in front of the teacher." Shaojie responded with a smile, his posture low enough.

Su Weihua shook his head: "What teacher? I'm just a few years older than you, but I'm not as good as you. Shaojie is now a useful person around King Yu."

"Although there is no superiority, the army can be divided into two parts. No matter what, you are my commander." Shaojie said, and took Su Weihua into the office.

This office was arranged by Shaojie himself. It is close to the combat hall, with a large area and good lighting. Su Weihua was very satisfied overall, but after asking King Yu's office, he found that the distance was very far. Shaojie quickly explained: "Captain Su, the prince doesn't like others chatting around him."

Speaking of this, Shaojie lowered his voice: "Actually, the prince's office is just the ears of the deaf people. When it's okay, he rarely comes. When he comes, he often appears in the combat hall, conference room, and prince's office. There are only two things, one is the tea table for drinking tea, and the other is the big bed for resting. The desk or something is not useful."

"I'll have to give more advice from Brother Shaojie when doing things here in the future."

Shaojie pointed to the surrounding display and said, "I dare not be accused of it. You are a superior and a senior, and you should serve your own job. You see, I personally arranged your office. The sofa must be soft and large, the tea table must be complete, and there must be a few more chairs..."

"Shaojie, I, as a new official, dare not enjoy these things."

Shaojie smiled: "Then you are wrong. You are the director of the combat department. I am not all about this. To put it bluntly, with our prince's character, when we come to the combat department, you have to requisition your office. Instead of being in a hurry at that time, it is better to prepare in advance.

You have to find it eye-catching. This is easy to deal with. There is a tea room next to it. There is a large space inside. I will let someone put these things you don’t need in first. When the prince comes one day, we can take them out as soon as we use them."

"You are really considerate." Su Weihua became more and more satisfied with Shaojie.

Shaojie helped put the information and documents brought by Su Weihua and said, "It's not too late, Chief Su, I booked a seat at the Strait Hotel, and there are several colleagues from the attendant's room who are familiar with you, so let's get together."

After hearing this, Su Weihua felt a sense of suspicion. It is logical that he was a newcomer. Although he was old acquaintance with Shaojie, his military rank was higher than that. He should be close to him. Why did he treat him with his own back and forth? Su Weihua had been in the officialdom for a long time and knew that there would be no reason. There were only two possibilities: King Yu wanted to value himself, or the other party asked him for his request.

But Su Weihua thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out what he had worthy of King Yu's reuse. That was the second possibility.

"Shaojie, you guy, nothing will happen." Su Weihua asked. Seeing Shaojie vaguely speaking, he said again: "If we have a meal later, we won't talk about official business."

Seeing that he was like this, Shaojie could only say, "If you say something is wrong, it's really true. The combat department has just opened a stall. Before that, the two princes were in charge of this matter and had a combat idea. Now that I am under your command, I'm thinking about it..."

At the end, Shaojie laughed, and there was no need to say anything else. He took out the documents from the filing cabinet and placed them in front of Su Weihua.

Su Weihua read a few roughly and found that the writing was really not about four or six. Some layman asked, "The combat concept? Did the colleagues in the attendant's room give it?"

Shaojie said: "We made this document, and you also know that many people in the attendant's room did not graduate from regular military academies, but they all had two knives, so the documents were very bad. But this matter was led by Prince Rong when he was in Ceuta in the first half of the year. Later, rumors came from Spain that the king was dead, Prince Rong hurried to America.
Chapter completed!
