"Deputy Commander Chen, Miss Natasha, the wife of Governor Wang, sniped and attacked the Dutch generals when they were having dinner yesterday. More than 20 Dutch generals were killed at one time, and the current Dutch generals have lost six. One-third, the high-level commanders have been severely damaged. If there is no accident, it will be very difficult for the Dutch army to attack us. Not only is there no command, but their morale has also dropped to the lowest point. They are now in the Netherlands The army is worried that their heads will be knocked off at any time, and now they dare not take the lead in our position!" An intelligence staff officer said.

And Chen Liyan immediately laughed and said: "Master Wang is a blessed person! To have such a powerful woman who wiped out more than 20 enemy generals at once is a great achievement! I am afraid that the Dutch I don't know why I'm crying!"

And just when Chen Liyan was happy about this, the morale of the entire Dutch army had already plummeted. Originally, they were very confident about attacking the Chinese this time. Especially those native officers and soldiers thought that Taiwan was still a colony of their own two hundred years ago, so they should be very weak, and they could easily defeat them by themselves. Many officers and soldiers of the local faction also think so, but the reality is that the battle has not yet started, and the enemy has wiped out more than 20 generals during this skirmish. It is so easy for others to kill the general, so it is not easy to kill the little soldiers like myself? So now the Dutch officers and soldiers are afraid of the snipers of the Taiwan army, as if they are facing a tiger. Now the Dutch army dare not stick their heads in the trenches, fearing that the enemy's snipers will shoot their own heads at any time.

"Hurry up and think of a way. Now the morale of the soldiers has fallen to the bottom. Originally, we had decided to launch an attack on the natives of Taiwan today. But let alone launch an attack now. If things go wrong, our soldiers will be afraid of death." , who can restore the morale of the soldiers? Then let me attack?"

Bruce, the commander-in-chief of the Dutch army in Indonesia, became furious. They had a banquet yesterday, and then they planned to send troops to attack Taiwan's army today. Then he was able to win in one fell swoop and wipe out the Taiwan army all the way, and even sent the navy to land on Taiwan. And he is also dreaming of this sweet dream, hoping to make a good contribution to obtain a better future development. But now the plan has not changed quickly, and a sniper told him how powerful Taiwan is. More than 120 generals were killed at the banquet, and more than 20 were killed immediately, which made people vomit blood. So now it makes him feel very angry. This is really unreasonable. Originally, he had planned it long ago. According to the plan, he had already taken the initiative to attack at this time. Let alone attacking now, it is still a question whether the war can continue.

"Commander Bruce, according to my statistics, a total of 14 brigadier generals, eight major generals, and two lieutenant generals were lost last night. Of the fourteen brigadier generals, eight were deputy division commanders, and seven were each a corpsman. The deputy chief of staff, two division chiefs, two senior staff members of the general headquarters, and two chief and deputy chiefs of the general staff department."

"And the loss of the major general is not small. Three divisions lost their commanders. Two armies lost their deputy commanders. The two deputy chiefs of staff of the headquarters were also killed."

"In the end, Lieutenant General, Commander-in-Chief, your Chief of Staff Wagner was killed. The commander of an army was also killed!"

When Bruce and Adenauer heard this, they couldn't help but gasped. A total of twenty-four generals were killed, and many of them were still in important positions. Even the chief of staff of the general headquarters was also killed. And the staff system of the headquarters is also half disabled because of the death of several important staff members, so there is no way to talk about how to fight next. These are the people in the central posts. All of a sudden, they were killed in battle, and the subordinate officers and soldiers lost their familiar leaders. Temporary promotion does not necessarily mean familiarity with the business. Therefore, it is also a complicated project to temporarily promote and then carry out corresponding running-in.

"Now. How?" Bruce asked.

Bruce, a guy with high eyesight and low hands, is completely out of control. He doesn't know how to deal with this situation. He originally thought that as long as the army passed by, the Taiwan army would be defeated like a mountain. But now the Dutch are in a situation where if they are not careful, they may be defeated like a mountain. If the Taiwanese army attacks at this time, the Dutch may be really dangerous. Their combat system has been disrupted, and now many of their troops do not have senior commanders, so now they don't know how to deal with it.

"Commander-in-Chief, I have already said that Taiwan is no longer an aborigine in the past. What we should do now is to strictly strengthen the defense, and then select a group of outstanding officers as soon as possible to fill those positions that are lacking. Especially those who are capable, but However, for some reasons, there are no people who can be promoted. At this time, the promotion should be accelerated and vigorously promoted so that they can become senior military officers." Adenauer said.

In fact, Adenauer now discovered that most of the officers who died yesterday were of noble origin. Although these guys cannot be said to be incompetent, their foundations are seriously weak. Ordinary military officers from humble backgrounds start at the bottom, climb up layer by layer, and then reach high positions. But those noble officers are really strange. There is still a very popular method in Europe at present. As soon as the son of a certain nobleman is born, he has a military status in the army, which is considered to be stuck in service. Then when he was in his twenties, he had been in the military for more than 20 years. At this time, they are immediately awarded the rank of major or lieutenant colonel, and even those with more difficult backgrounds start directly from colonel. And after they have obtained the military rank, they can directly obtain a military position that matches the military rank, so that when they are in their twenties, they have not really served a day, and they are already mid-to-high-ranking officers.

Of course, I dare not say that these officers are incapable, after all, the education of nobles in this era is still good. But they are seriously ungrounded. They don't understand the thoughts of soldiers at the bottom of the army, and they don't understand what soldiers need. They had a super high starting point from the beginning, which made it easy for him to ignore the needs of soldiers and look down on ordinary soldiers. And this model of aristocrats has also seriously affected the promotion of ordinary officers from poor families. Many officers from poor families have been stuck in this position for half their lives, but those guys joining the army have a higher end point than many officers from poor families. So it is conceivable that this kind of officer is so ungrounded, and it is conceivable how powerful they are in battle.

Now Adenauer thought that it would be good for these guys to die, and it would be better to take the opportunity to promote some humble officers if they kept these high-sighted and low-handed guys in the army. As long as these officers with strong capabilities, familiarity with the underlying army, various tactics, and the needs of soldiers move to senior leadership positions, this may really be able to reverse the situation. Originally, Adenauer did not think that the Netherlands could win this time under the hands of the Taiwan army. After all, the Netherlands is at a disadvantage in terms of weapons and officer selection. Now if a group of outstanding poor officers can be promoted to leadership positions, Then maybe there is still a battle.

"Adenauer, what do you mean by this? Do you want to promote those officers who are of untouchable origin at this time?" Someone immediately objected.

"Yeah! You can't promote the untouchables at this time, so many nobles have not been able to become high-ranking officers, why should the untouchables get it?" "No, the nobles should be promoted first, and then the untouchables will be able to turn!"...

After hearing Adenauer's suggestion, many people also began to oppose it at this time. After all, such things as official positions are a radish and a pit, and you can't do it if you occupy me. To say that Europe lacks everything, but there is no shortage of nobles waiting to become officials. No matter how many official positions there are, it is impossible to arrange for those nobles. After all, official positions are scarce resources, and even the nobles are fighting fiercely. Few of them are still in idle positions and want to be transferred to positions of real power? Who doesn't have a few relatives who want to have a nunno ass? So when they heard that Adenauer was going to give these vacant positions to those humble officers, everyone was immediately angry. After all, in the West in this era, there are still a lot of nobles who are high-ranking officials, and they are easy to get promoted.

And Bruce's face was gloomy, and then he suddenly said: "Adenauer, if I agree with you, can you guarantee to defeat the Taiwanese this time? Expel them from Kalimantan Island?"

And Adenauer immediately said: "I can't promise, I..."

"Then if you can't guarantee it, then forgive me for not being able to agree to your request!" Bruce said.

After hearing this, Adenauer immediately said: "Commander-in-Chief, if you agree, I promise to defeat the Taiwanese and expel them from Kalimantan Island. If not, I will take full responsibility!"

"Okay, you write a letter of guarantee~lightnovelpub.net~ and I will hand it over to you this time. I will not interfere with the more than 20 officer positions, it is all up to you to decide!" Bruce said.

"Commander-in-Chief!" "No way, Commander-in-Chief!"...

"Needless to say, I have already decided on this matter!" Bruce said.

And no one knew what Bruce was thinking, he watched that Adenauer sign the pledge, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. No one knew that he was already muttering about defeating the Taiwanese in his heart. Natasha shocked him too much. No one knew that he had initially changed those thoughts about Taiwanese. He was afraid that this war would fail, and that it would be a disaster. If this war fails and the Netherlands loses its last colony, then I am afraid that the responsibility will be very huge. At that time, his family will face the criticism of all the nobles in the country. At that time, he cannot afford it!

Therefore, he first wanted to shift the responsibility to others. Since Adenauer is willing to take full responsibility, it will be fine at that time. Anyway, he promised himself to be the full-time commander-in-chief at that time, and he deserved the most credit. And once it fails, it would be best if Adenauer is willing to take full responsibility.

When it comes to fighting, Bruce may not be very good at it, but he is still very familiar with this kind of calculation. (to be continued)
