Chapter 1827? Can’t be avoided
Simple analogy.
The eight armies currently on the field are equivalent to a sharp sword.
However, when the fighting stops, the sharpness of the sword will make people feel on pins and needles.
At least except for Xiao Tianyang, there is no one who does not fear the eight armies fighting abroad.
Of course, with frequent wars nowadays, it is impossible for the Eight Army Groups to threaten the rule of the Imperial City at this stage.
But what will happen if the current war ends?
In reality, there are some things that need to be taken step by step.
In addition, there are also some things that need to be taken one step at a time.
For example, the deterrent power of the Ministry of War must be improved as soon as possible.
We do not seek to surpass the eight armies fighting abroad, but we must not let them do whatever they want.
It's just that the Tianwu Dynasty was established not long ago, and Xiao Tianyang has absolute control over all major armies.
The true role of the Ministry of War was hidden.
In the same way, the second meaning also becomes a cover-up for its appearance.
To put it simply, the current role played by the Ministry of War is planning, logistics, and supplies.
If we apply the above metaphor, the meaning will be clearer.
The scabbard not only needs to contain the edge of the sword, but also needs to be able to raise the sword, repair the sword, and strengthen the sword.
Raising a sword represents an action that can affect the army at a certain level.
Repairing the sword symbolizes that after the army retreats from the front line, the Ministry of War can restore its combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.
The strong sword requires various means to strengthen the frontline army. For example, the supply of weapons and consumables is very important.
It is impossible for the Tianwu Dynasty to be without war in a short period of time.
Therefore, the first effect is also hidden from the conscious mind.
Of course, smart people can also understand what Xiao Tianyang wants to express.
Among them were the eight group army commanders directly appointed by Xiao Tianyang.
The previous checks and balances caused them to react internally, and now they are less likely to think wildly.
On the contrary, it was Xiao Tianyang's actions that really allowed them to let go and fight on the front line.
Since Xiao Tianyang's awakening, he has issued a total of two policies targeting the military.
First, the three newly established armies received indirect help from him, and their power is no less powerful than that of the established armies.
Secondly, although the Ministry of War only has the right to make suggestions, they also indirectly influence the group army's prerogative to decide wars on the front line.
On the surface it is suppression, but in reality it is checks and balances.
However, the real intention is to protect and trust.
Although the rise of Li Jing and others was inseparable from his help, in the final analysis, they were responsible for their own success.
If they cannot win the battle, no matter how Xiao Tianyang supports them, they will not have their current reputation and prestige.
The Ministry of War, under Xiao Tianyang's hint, has never acted beyond its authority.
In other words, even if they have the intention, the results will make them powerless.
Because whether the plan they formulated is adopted by the frontline commander will not actually affect the final contribution value obtained.
The Ministry of War's plan review is very strict.
Wei Liao is also a man who is good at planning, so how can he let a plan that is impossible to pass pass.
But if the plan is stamped with the seal of approval, then the contribution will be determined.
Regardless of whether the frontline commander modifies his plan, it will ultimately not affect the contribution of the person who made the plan.
If the plan is adopted and the front group army wins, there will be additional contribution points as a reward.
On the contrary, if the plan makes mistakes other than execution, the designer of the plan will be punished commensurate with the loss.
Otherwise, if anyone can participate, it will be impossible for several managers of the Ministry of War to be idle.
After all, there are definitely not a few people who want to try too much.
Therefore, only those with talent and confidence dare to take the initiative to submit plans to others.
As for the contribution of the front group armies, there is a second set of calculation methods.
In fact, to put it bluntly, although we are in the same system, there are two sets of reward mechanisms within it.
As long as the interests of the two do not conflict, there will be no major conflict between the Ministry of War and the Army Group.
The Ministry of War cannot lose the support of the group army, otherwise they will be toothless tigers.
And the group army cannot lose the coordination of the Ministry of War, otherwise they will be alone in the temple.
The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War are currently the departments that Xiao Tianyang values the most.
Because every decision they make is related to the whereabouts of the Tianwu Dynasty and the frontline soldiers.
Xiao Tianyang had to explore their voices first, and then he could finally finalize the plan.
After all, strictly speaking, Fan Li and Wei Liao's decision was closer to reality than that of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At least to implement the plan, Xiao Tianyang would be unable to avoid them.
Unless you remove them and replace them with others.
But unless Xiao Tianyang ate brain fragments, he wouldn't be able to do such a stupid thing.
Therefore, when Xiao Tianyang explained the plan in the imperial study room, the two of them behaved more seriously.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Xiao He and others are not serious.
It's just that the attitude is different in comparison.
Fan Li pondered for a moment and said: "Reporting to the emperor, if we want to fight a protracted war, we must ensure that our own interests are not damaged."
"For example, attack the Elemental Continent."
"There were losses in the early stage, but the harvest in the later stage gave the national treasury the opportunity to turn the figures positive."
"It's the same in the God Realm."
"The early tug-of-war made our supplies very tight."
"Especially in order to produce various consumables and maintenance equipment, more than [-]% of the metal in Douluo Continent flows into the arsenal."
"However, today's harvest shows signs of filling the treasury."
"Whether the abyssal battlefield is profitable or not is yet to be determined."
"Most of their descriptions are from the perspective of heaven, which is inherently unsuitable for our reference."
"In other words, if you want to keep the economy stable, you have to focus on the three continents now."
"Your Majesty, do you understand?"
Xiao Tianyang pointed his finger on the table and said thoughtfully: "What do you think of the weapons and equipment in the underground plane?"
Fan Li replied directly: "The quality is very good, and it is very popular in the private market."
However, he later added: "Compared to their weapons, the institute values their technology and metals more."
"If the emperor can focus on the underground plane, then the cost of the early campaign will be completely negligible."
Xiao Tianyang nodded slightly and said, "I understand what you mean."
He turned his attention to Wei Liao and asked, "What do you have in mind?"
"If it were just about troop sources and logistics, then there would be absolutely no mistakes in the Ministry of War."
Wei Liao changed the topic and asked: "But the emperor's idea of using three planes to train his troops is too risky."
Xiao Tianyang pondered: "I have also thought about the risks."
"But if you want to deal with one first and then turn around to deal with the other two, Void Will will never sit still and wait for death."
"The Kingdom of War is the greatest danger."
"If it weren't for the right time, favorable location, and people moving closer to our army, we wouldn't have been able to win easily."
"Besides, judging from the current situation, our advantage is not particularly obvious."
"At least Kabba is more difficult than you can imagine."
"It won't be a big problem to end the fighting within two months."
"But the price you have to pay for this...then you have to open another topic."
"So you should understand the difference between dealing with one first and confronting three."
After a pause, he added: "Tell me the solution first, and then we'll discuss it in detail."
