personnel!

When Su Weihua heard these two words, he immediately became alert. Personnel is politics, and it is the most troublesome thing in this combat.

In the officialdom, there are only two things: people and money. The combat office is a Qingshui Yamen, and there will be no financial problems. Only personnel issues are the most troublesome. Especially overseas, especially in this combat office, there are people from the army, navy, servants and other aspects. Not to mention anything else, even King Yu has a headache about this.

Why did King Yu come to Ceuta for more than a year before the combat office was established? It was nothing more than that he did not dispatch people, but returned the power of employing people to the Shenjing Center. This is the emperor's respect for the imperial power and the respect for domestic important officials. You should know that Li Junwei has the authority of military, political and diplomacy overseas. In special times, he can even directly dispatch resources from overseas provinces and colonies.

People's arrangements are necessary to be very cautious, not to mention multiple aspects. If it is just a group of young people in the attendant's room, Su Weihua can be placed aside, but these things were led by King Rong, and their nature is completely different. Speaking of which, Ceuta has a combat office, and there is also a combat office in Panama City, where King Rong is in charge of military and political affairs.

"Okay, I'll take a look first." Su Weihua smiled and pulled over a chair, let Shaojie sit down, and said, "Shaojie, although there are many people in the combat office, you and I are actually the closest. We all work together in front of the imperial court, and the relationship cannot be compared with others.

Follow me, let’s not go to the Strait Hotel. It’s not only difficult to get things done for a bunch of messy people, but they will also be said to form cliques. Do you think this is good? Let’s talk first in this office and tell me what Prince Yu thinks so that I can do things well, right?”

Shaojie nodded: "Okay, that's fine. What does Chief Su say? Then what do you mean? Let's look at these information first, I'll arrange it, and withdraw the hotel bureau and let the canteen cook a few side dishes. Let's have a drink in this office."

"Well, that's great."

After saying that, Shaojie left first. Su Weihua opened the information and looked carefully. He found that this was indeed just a combat concept and there was no combat plan at all. However, this concept was as many as twelve copies, which was very consistent with what King Yu said about the arrangements and responsibilities of the combat department staff.

These combat concepts are how to achieve strategic goals in the presumed combat area if the empire intervenes in the war after the outbreak of the Spanish throne.

For example, the Rock Plan is to capture Gibraltar, but it also considers various situations, such as how to attack, how to attack, and how to defend the enemy and counterattack after the capture.

The Hurricane Project is a plan to target Quebec, the core French colonial city of North America, with both naval raids and land attacks along the Connecticut Valley.

The Watch Plan assumes how Spain should defend against the Panama region when attacking the American colonies and empires.

The heavy hammer plan was to set up a naval cover to attack Havana, the capital of Cuban colonial.

The Longtan Plan is the plan for the Army to attack Mexico City, where the Governor General of New Spain is located.

One of the plans was called the enema project, and the combat target was Louisiana, a French colony in North America. Although the French discovered that the Mississippi River Basin was not a short time, it was in recent years to reach the estuary. At the beginning, the city was not established at the estuary.

On the contrary, before the American War, Li Junwei worked with the Ministry of Overseas Affairs to develop the plan to expand the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi River was marked as the Great Liao River on the empire map, and after the victory of the American War, a pioneering point was established, named Tongliao.

France has always claimed that the mouth of the Mississippi River belongs to France, so the two countries have been arguing about this, and the two sides have conflicts from time to time, so the development of the Tongliao region is relatively slow. However, France established the city of Gahozia at the junction of the main stream of Mississippi and the Missouri River. It is inconvenient to attack this place from the direction of Quebec. The most convenient thing is to attack north along the Great Liao River. This is very similar to an enema operation, which can reach the stomach in one step.

It can be said that it is precisely because of these twelve combat concepts that there is a real combat location. The twelve combat concepts require only a few thousand troops and a few hundred people less, but they also require cooperation from the navy, marines and foreign troops.

Generally speaking, joint combat requires dispatching high-level general-level officers, but the scale is not large and it does not need to be like this. These officers in the combat office are prepared for this. They directly represent King Yu and did their homework in advance.

Soon, Shaojie returned to the office and brought some side dishes with the chef. Considering that Su Weihua is from the south, his taste tends to be sweet and sour.

Su Weihua took it for a while and filled the empty stomach sac, and then said: "Shaojie, I have read those combat concepts briefly. There are really a lot of them. We don't have enough people."

"This is easy to deal with. You can report and transfer people from all over the country, the Atlantic Fleet, Xijin and Suez areas. You can transfer whoever you like. The prince will definitely not stop him." Shaojie's answer was straightforward.

Su Weihua felt confident and asked, "You kid is so attentive, tell me if you have a crush on a battlefield, let me decide first."

Shaojie smiled and said, "Chief Su is so amazing. You have seen through all my little thoughts."

"You said you are also a celebrity around Prince Yu. Why bother me if you say one word to the prince?"

"To be honest, I didn't talk to the prince at all. You are my direct superior now, so I want to respect your opinion."

Su Weihua waved his hand: "Tell me, which one do you value?"

"Gibraltar." Shaojie said immediately.

"You little brat, you really know how to pick the jobs." Su Weihua couldn't help but quip.

Gibraltar is the goal of the Rock Plan. The execution of this plan is actually not high, mainly determined by its location.

You should know that the American battlefield is divided into two parts, one is the French colony in North America - New France, and the other is the major colonies of Spain. If you intervene in these two battlefields, you will not directly join the Spanish War of Succession, because the reasons have been considered.

If we attack New France, it must be that France participated in the European War and financial tensions, the mortgage of New France from the Empire could not be paid. Since it could not be paid back, the Empire had sufficient reason to collect collateral. This was a compulsory enforcement of the deadbeat and could not be considered a war between the two countries.

The reasons for intervening in the Spanish colony are more sufficient. In addition to protecting the security and assets of the expatriates and maintaining legitimate trade, the Spanish in the colony can also invite them. Although this kind of troops is not justified, they are considered famous.

Of course, the premise of these reasons is that neither Spain nor France will go to war with the empire because of this, and Li Junwei is very confident about it. As soon as the Spanish king died, the envoys from various countries gathered in Ceuta. The envoys of Spain and France came the fastest, hoping that the empire would form an alliance with it, at least not with the other party.

The nature of Gibraltar is completely different. This is the native of Spain, and attacking its locality is a direct declaration of war. Because of this moral issue, the political attributes of the Rock Plan are particularly strong.

But participants in this plan are more likely to rise to the top because they have strong political attributes, so they must maintain contact with the King Yu camp. Gibraltar is opposite Ceuta, and obviously the command center is also in Ceuta, so the commander is running in front of King Yu, which is not just a familiar face.

Gibraltar is directly linked to the Strait, the Strait is linked to trade with Europe, and to the security of East-West shipping. Taking this land is really famous in history.

The next morning, Shaojie went to King Yu Xingzai, and he didn't see anyone in the living room or study. Fortunately, he was familiar with everyone. After asking for a while, he heard that King Yu had gone to the dark room and was washing photos. So he also got in and found that Li Junwei was wearing a mask and watching the master in the photo studio working, and he looked very serious in studying.

"Don't move around, this water is poisonous." Seeing Shaojie's stubbornness, Li Junwei scolded.

Shaojie smiled and followed him to watch. Li Junwei learned for a while and then worked with him, so he walked out of the dark room.

"How is it? Did Su Weihua agree to you?" Li Junwei asked while washing his hands.

Shaojie was very embarrassed: "I was very attentive yesterday, but Chief Su just didn't give up."

"What did he say?"

Shaojie can only say the truth. Shaojie was busy with work yesterday and today he went to the combat site first. As a result, Su Weihua did not let go, but instead made a charter.

After work in the morning, Su Weihua summoned everyone from the combat office to work together, and rewrite the immature copywriting of the attendant's room, making it orderly. Afterwards, Su Weihua assigned tasks to let the officers of the combat office choose their own plans according to the military and professional services. They can be repeated, and at most not more than three, but they are not contrary to the professional services.

For example, army officers are not allowed to choose escorts, login and other actions.

These combat concepts also include fat and thinness, difficulty and easyness. Different people naturally have different thoughts. Some people want to make contributions, so they specifically choose important actions such as Rock Action, while others are more conservative. They choose some actions such as escort that are not easy to cause chaos to make plans.

There are also some that no one chooses, such as the Watch Plan, which is to defend the Panama Isthmus, and no one cares about it. Everyone believes that there is no possibility of uniting the Spanish colonies in the Americas to attack, and King Rong is right in Panama City and he is not by King Rong's side. Even if he makes a plan, it will be useless to come to King Rong.

Su Weihua selected the plans that no one cares or are not valued, and forced everyone to assign one, so that everyone could make a feasible plan for all the projects at hand. After cross-comparison, they would assign the best, and then form a team to plan in detail.

Shaojie had three projects on hand, among which he chose Gibraltar's Rock Plan, the other one worked with others, and the other one was forced into his hands.

After hearing this, Li Junwei nodded and reached out to Shaojie: "You lost, come on, five silver dollars."

Shaojie had no choice but to be willing to accept the loss. It turned out that whether he could walk down the back door from Su Weihua was a bet made by the two. Obviously, Shaojie lost. Shaojie said: "It's strange. Chief Su's words sound good, but he just didn't let go. I brought you and Prince Rong out."

"For him, this is a rare opportunity, how can he arrange important tasks at will?" Li Junwei weighed five silver dollars.

Shaojie thought about it and thought what King Yu said made sense. He regarded the Rock Plan as an opportunity to make a big splash. However, this Chief Su Weihua also valued the great opportunity to take charge of the combat department. Although he had a relationship with Shaojie, he had been separated for many years and did not know much about his ability.

The Rock Plan is both important and under the eyes of King Yu, and also involves all aspects. Unless Li Junwei personally makes arrangements, Su Weihua will definitely be very cautious.

"Prince, I'm here to ask for your help." Shaojie said.

Li Junwei shrugged: "It depends on what he is busy with."

"Can you arrange for me to go to the army to experience it? It doesn't have to go far, just Ceuta."

"The Marine Corps doesn't have your job."

"No, I want to stay at the Caucasus Group for a while," said Shaojie.

Li Junwei's eyes lit up and he patted Shaojie's face: "You guy, you're a little good. You don't just want to experience leading the war."

Shaojie nodded and whispered something in Li Junwei's ear. Li Junwei nodded: "I'm really a little clever."

The Caucasus Group was not a military division of the empire, but a mercenary group. The officers were all held by nobles of the Cossack Republic, and the members were relatively complex. Most of them were fleeing serfs from the Balkans or Southern Russia. The Slavic ethnic group and Orthodox faith were the symbols of this army.

The weapons and equipment and military expenditure of this army were divided into two groups from the Imperial Navy expenditure, which was rotated to guard against Ceuta, mainly to guard against Moroccans in the south and clean up illegal immigrants. Part of them were used as mobile forces to cooperate with naval operations, such as going to the fiefdom of Yuwang of North America, cleaning up the Ansas resistance forces in Virginia and other places from time to time, or to attack pirates in the Bahamas, Nassau and other places, or to cooperate with the operations of the Portuguese and Genoa troops in the Maghreb region.

In most cases, the Caucasus regiment was only an assisting force for the Marines, but some empires were not suitable for directly attacking the battlefield. The Caucasus regiment could come forward to practice the will of the empire, such as the Maghreb region. The empire joined forces with Portugal, Genoa and other parties to attack in the name of attacking the Barbarian pirates, and in fact turned this area into a colony.

However, as the Ottoman gradually liberated from the war with Russia and Austria, the rebellion in Egypt eased, and then troops were dispatched to regain control of the place. Even further, the Maghreb area was originally mostly vassals who paid tribute, and the Ottoman was ready to rule directly.
