In the early morning of the next day, Qin Feng held the first strategic coordination meeting at the station.
Anyone above goalkeeper level can participate.
Not only that, every one hundred soldiers must elect one representative to participate, and these representatives must have strong personal talents, and any connections to get higher positions are strictly prohibited.
As a result, there were more than 300 people participating in the coordination meeting, and it was a large and bustling area.
This consultation has only one goal, which is to consolidate logistics and discuss protracted war.
At first, only those above the rank of deputy general spoke enthusiastically. After all the suggestions were rejected by Qin Feng, the atmosphere of the conference gradually became a little depressing.
As a last resort, an infantry representative stood up bravely.
"I wonder if this war will be a long-term one or a short-term one?"
Qin Feng couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he nodded in affirmation to the infantryman.
"Yes, someone finally noticed the key issue of adaptability to the location."
"There are many military books and tactics, but there is no single tactic in the world that can remain unchanged in response to all changes."
"Based on the actual situation on the battlefield and combined with an understanding of strategy, the right way is to formulate a combat method that is most suitable for the current environment."
"When you fight with a book of war, you will always be one step behind."
Originally, the infantry representative was still a little nervous, fearing that if he said the wrong thing, he would be severely punished.
The result was praised by Qin Feng, and the infantry representative suddenly became excited, his head almost raised to the sky.
He glanced at the representatives around him, showing off.
"Little Qianjian, you made the prince laugh."
"If the war lasts for a short time, there will be no logistical problems."
"The long term is also divided into medium to long term and ultra-long term."
"If the battle lasts for a year, then the logistics line only needs to be smooth. If the battle lasts for more than a year, then we have to find other ways."
At first, Qin Feng only asked the infantry to send representatives based on the idea of brainstorming.
Unexpectedly, I unexpectedly discovered a talent.
This person's remarks were very much in line with Qin Feng's wishes, and he immediately asked: "What's your name?"
The infantry representative, who had looked proud just now, instantly slumped, as if he had something unspeakable to hide.
Qin Feng did not ask further questions and looked directly at the general standing next to him.
Not long after, Shangfeng, the infantry representative, stood up.
"Back to your lord, this man's name is Lin Dahai. He once belonged to the former general of the Northern Territory. Later, due to the defeat, he was transferred back to the rear and was stationed in the Gyeonggi garrison."
Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded and once again turned his attention to the infantryman named Lin Dahai.
"It's just a defeat, what can't be mentioned?"
Lin Dahai's cheeks turned red. After much hesitation, he finally gave in and said, "This subordinate once belonged to the Third Battalion of the former General Zuo Pioneer."
"I once fought against Beidi's legendary tooth general Zhong Ling. The entire third battalion was almost destroyed, and my subordinates were among the few who survived."
Zhong Ling?
When Qin Feng traveled thousands of miles to Beixi County to save his mother, he fought against this person.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, Zhong Ling would be mentioned again in this way.
Qin Feng pressed his hand and signaled Lin Dahai not to blame himself.
"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. Besides, losing to Zhong Ling is not a shame."
"And now is the time to employ people. It would be a bit humiliating for a talent like you to just serve as a foot soldier."
"I will promote you to the rank of tooth general."
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers present showed envy.
Lin Dahai was even more caught off guard. He just stood up and said a few words, and was directly promoted to a general?
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Even if Qin Feng is in charge of everything on the front line, it would be too childish to just confer a tooth general on him, right?
But when they thought that the person in front of them was Qin Feng, not some hot-headed and mediocre person, the doubts in everyone's hearts disappeared instantly.
"Thank you, King Qin!"
Lin Dahai fell to his knees with a pop, thanking him profusely, his face flushed with excitement.
Since Qin Feng thinks so highly of him, he must be worthy of this cultivation.
"When my subordinates were defeated by Zhong Ling in the northern border, it was because the logistics couldn't keep up. In the end, the whole battalion was surrounded, and we had no choice but to break out of the encirclement."
"In the process of breaking out, we were continuously blocked and pursued, which led to the complete loss."
"The southern city is impregnable, and innocent people cannot be harmed. It is expected that it will most likely be a protracted war of attrition."
"The weather is about to get warmer, so I thought it would be better to open up wasteland and farm on the spot to become self-sufficient."
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers on the scene immediately divided into two groups.
The elites previously transferred from Gyeonggi Province were all professional soldiers and were not engaged in production, so they all fell silent.
Most of the subsequent reinforcements were recruited from local areas.
Many of these people are field soldiers.
When it comes to farming, they naturally have a strong say, so they all agreed.
"I have long heard that the land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile and has abundant rainfall. As long as there is no waterlogging or plague, no one will starve to death if they work hard."
"Gusu City is already besieged anyway, so it's better to farm on the spot."
"That's right. If the logistics can't keep up, we can produce our own food and we won't starve to death."
Not to mention the elite of the capital, even the generals present were silent.
After all, farming on the spot means being ready for a protracted war, and Qin Feng needs to make a decision.
As everyone knows, Qin Feng held this temporary coordination meeting just to cultivate the fields and produce his own food. After all, this is one of the best ways to ensure logistics.
And unless absolutely necessary, Qin Feng would never use the resources of the northern border to transfuse blood on the battlefield of the southern border.
Qin Feng immediately took out a map of the Jiangnan area, unfolded it in front of everyone, and informed all the soldiers one by one of the preliminary plan.
"Everyone, please see, with Gusu City as the boundary, the south of Gusu City is the war zone, and the north of Gusu City is the world under our control."
"Long before our army went south, within a hundred miles north of Gusu City, the people all moved away from the war, leaving behind a large area of land."
"Coupled with the fact that our army is guarding the front, the rear can farm with peace of mind."
Qin Feng used a writing brush to mark a large area of land on the map.
"Before coming here, I have already inspected along the road. This land is sparsely populated and is most suitable for land reclamation and farming."
"As long as all this land can be planted with food, it will not only supply the front line, but the excess food can also feed back to the people."
"In addition to our own five thousand field troops, we will mobilize the surrounding people to take advantage of the upcoming spring plowing to transform this land into a logistics grain depot."
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately received thousands of responses.
Especially the field soldiers were the most excited. After all, they were not professional soldiers, and as long as they went to the battlefield, people would die.
It is undoubtedly the best choice to directly return to the rear to farm.
