Chapter 261 Rokossov’s new appointment
November 11, Military Command.

"Major General Alexei Konstantinovich Rokossov has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. The order will take effect immediately upon issuance." General Turgenev put down the first order and picked up the second one. .

"Lieutenant General Alexey Konstantinovich Rokosov concurrently serves as the commander of the 1st Guards 'Red Banner' Mechanized Division."

Wang Zhong, who was standing in front of Turgenev's desk, frowned slightly and asked, "Have you agreed to appoint me as the dean of the Suvorov Military Academy?"

Olga changed her mind?
General Turgenev put down the second order and said: "Don't be distracted."

"Yes." Wang Zhong stood up straight.

Turgenev picked up the third order: "The 1st 'Red Banner' Mechanized Infantry Division of the Guards has made outstanding achievements. It will be stationed at the Kubinka Training Base from now on and will be transferred to the Capital City Defense Headquarters."

Wang Zhong wanted to ask, firstly, where did my appointment as the dean go? Secondly, what kind of city defense commander was needed to suppress the heroic troops with a lieutenant general of my stature as the division commander?

But Turgenev had a straight face, and Wang Zhong couldn't ask questions, so he could only watch him put down the third order and pick up the fourth.

"Appointment of Lieutenant General Alexei Konstantinovich Rokosov as commander of the city defense of St. Catherine's Castle."

"Didn't you say that the design of many of our weapons is very bad? I heard Your Majesty relay your opinion. The essential reason why it is so bad is that the old nobles are forming cliques for personal gain. Not every noble is as clear-minded as your father thought. ”

Turgenev put down this one, then picked up another order.

Wang Zhong: "Read it first."

Wang Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Good guy, put my direct troops at a key position next to the capital, and appointed me as the city defense commander. This is obviously to prevent others from causing trouble."

At least that's the case in Yeburg.

Okay, I am the principal and the chairman of the committee, and I will micro-manage the troops in the future. It seems that my hair is not safe.

General Turgenev glanced at Wang Zhong: "I am meeting your request. If you are unwilling to accept it, I can change the order on the spot."

Wang Zhong: "His Majesty the new Tsar seems to be unable to convince the public in the army."

Turgenev picked up a new order: "Appoint Lieutenant General Rokossov as director of the Suvorov Military Academy."

Wang Zhong looked at General Turgenev and asked, "Are there any more?"

Wang Zhong couldn't help it anymore: "Is there more?"

Wang Zhong: "Understood."

Admiral Turgenev: "I suggested it. Do you understand what I mean?"

The last one really became the principal of the military academy. I don’t know what the professors in the academy said.

Turgenev then lowered his head and looked at the order: "Appoint Lieutenant General Rokossov as Chairman of the Special Review Committee for Military Equipment."

"She is a girl after all, and she is too close to the church."

General Turgenev took the pile of appointments, turned it out from behind the desk, and handed it to Wang Zhong: "Originally, I wanted you to attend future General Staff meetings, but Chief of Staff Tukhachev His face is very ugly. Your Majesty means that he should take charge of this counterattack. She completely trusts your judgment and will have reason to replace Tukhachev if there is a problem. "

Although Wang Zhong has little social experience, he also knows that it would be outrageous to make demands at this time. What's more, he has no dissatisfaction and can interfere in everything. With this pile of appointments, he is not a prince, but almost a prince.

Turgenev put all the orders in a pile, sorted them out, then picked up his pen and asked: "What other appointments do you want for me to write for you?"

Wang Zhong took advantage of the gap between Turgenev's orders and asked, "Is this what Olga, your majesty, meant?"

General Turgenev sighed and continued: "After all, the civil war happened twenty years ago. The church has been expanding its power at the lower levels, and the nobles have been expanding in the army.

Turgenev obviously still had something to say, but the confidential staff member opened the door: "Report! Emergency!"

General Turgenev frowned: "What's wrong? Is someone finally going to oppose the new Tsar? It just so happens that the new city defense commander is here..."

"No, please allow me to turn on the radio." After saying this, the confidential secretary went directly to the radio and started operating it.

It seems that Turgenev is also a very easy-going person, and he doesn't care if his subordinates mess around.

When the radio was turned on, English came out - this world is called Anglo.

Wang Zhong's English basically belongs to the "how do you do" level. He can understand simple things when listening, but he can only stumble endlessly when speaking.

The confidential staff member translated: "The President of the United States will deliver a speech in Congress, and we will broadcast the full text."

Wang Zhong looked at the early morning sun outside the house and estimated the time in the United States. Good guy, are you talking at this time...

He looked at the calendar again. It was two weeks ahead of the Earth, but they were all surprise attacks on Sunday.

At this time the speech began.

In fact, Wang Zhong has heard this speech many times in many places. For example, the MOD of Hearts of Iron has added the original text of these speeches into the game, and players can listen to it as long as they click on the decision.

Of course, with Wang Zhong's "easy to read" English, he would definitely not be able to understand every sentence, but he would definitely not get the last sentence "God help us" wrong.

The confidential staff interpreter said: "I believe that I have expressed the will of the Congress of the United States and the people of the United States. I am convinced that we must not only defend the homeland with all our strength, but also ensure that the United States will never be harmed by such treacherous acts again.

"The enemy is right in front of us. Our people, our homeland, and our interests are all in great danger. We cannot ignore this fact. I have full confidence in the United States military and the United States people, and we are bound to achieve victory." Victory, bless us, God.”

The staff interpreter was not as angry as the speaker himself. He finally said to General Turgenev and Wang Zhong in a calm voice: "The United States and the Fuso Empire, as well as their ally the Prosen Empire, are already in a state of war."

At this moment, Wang Zhong suddenly understood that Fatty Wen needed a good sleep.

Especially when he heard yesterday that the Lend-Lease Act had been vetoed by the United States under the instigation of the Prosin lobby.

It's okay now, there's no need for a bill, I'm going to end up on my own.

You can get M3 Lee tanks, M4 Sherman tanks, and P39 Aira fighter jets.

What’s more important is trucks. After the United States’ production capacity exploded, there were so many trucks. Use United States trucks to improve logistics, allocate more auxiliary troops to a division, and equip tank units with maintenance vehicles, towing vehicles and other things——

The list in Wang Zhong's mind immediately stretched to three pages and continued to grow.

General Turgenev glanced at Wang Zhong: "Want to have some wine to celebrate?"

Wang Zhong: “I want what I want!”

Upon seeing this, the confidential staff officer turned off the radio and slipped away quietly.

The admiral came to his wine cabinet, took out a bottle of wine that looked not simple in decoration, used a corkscrew to pull out the cork, and poured two glasses.

Wang Zhong went over to pick up the cup and raised it: "To celebrate the participation of the United States in the war!"

Admiral Turgenev: "For the coming assistance!"

The two clinked glasses.

After drinking, General Turgenev said: "In the afternoon, you go to Suvorov Military Academy to show your face. I have informed the school that you will go. In addition, your safety in Yebao will be taken care of by the church's tribunal." You can also arrange some trusted troops yourself.”

Wang Zhong: "I will arrange it."

Admiral Turgenev continued: "You can go to the city defense headquarters tomorrow."

Wang Zhong: "What about Lyudmila's appointment? Where was she assigned?"

General: "The Praying Hands and the Arrow Company are not under our command in the first place.

"In addition, since you changed the usage of divine arrows, the frontline has become less hungry for praying hands, and the death rate of praying hands has also dropped.

"Now most of the Shenjian Company is organized with anti-aircraft artillery and is responsible for air defense in important areas. I guess Belinsky will not let your fiancée go to the front line alone. You can fully enjoy your family life in Yebao."

Wang Zhong: "It would be great if that were the case."

Admiral Turgenev: "Okay, let's go quickly, otherwise His Majesty will have to finish the imperial meeting and it will be difficult for you to leave when she comes."

That's right, if His Majesty the Tsar said, "My dear, I want to know about the situation on the front line," then he really wouldn't be able to leave.

Wang Zhong nodded and put a stack of documents into his briefcase.

Admiral Turgenev: "Find an adjutant. I'm a lieutenant general, and it's outrageous to carry the file package myself."

Wang Zhong didn't like this sentence. He was from China and didn't have this problem.

Turgenev: "I know that you are close to the church, and you deliberately want to wash away the dandy atmosphere on your body."

Okay, so the habits brought over from another world look like this to others.

Admiral Turgenev: "I don't know what the church plans to shape you into. I'm starting from a functional perspective. You have an orderly to handle the chores in life, and you should also have an adjutant to handle your duties. When it comes to chores, the adjutant is the equivalent of a secretary.”

Wang Zhong: "Okay, if I find a secretary like Bernard or Humphrey, I will find them as adjutants."

Turgenev: "Who are these? Are they the dandies of Yebao? You must choose carefully. People with weak abilities cannot be your adjutant, I guarantee it."

Wang Zhong: "Anyway, I will pay attention."

Turgenev nodded: "Let's go, the imperial meeting is about to end."

Wang Zhong turned and left the room.

Admiral Turgenev came to the window and looked out at the rising sun.

He maintained his position admiring the beautiful sunrise and stood for a long time.

Then the door opened, and His Majesty Olga I pushed the door open and came in: "Alyosha! Huh? Is he gone? Why did he leave so fast? I still want to find out about the situation on the front line from him!"

Admiral Turgenev turned around: "Your Majesty, he has just received so many appointments and must be very, very busy. You'd better not disturb him all the time."

Olga I pouted like a girl.

General: "Your Majesty, although the coronation ceremony has not yet been held, you are already Your Majesty."

Olga I sighed: "I know. I know. I will take over from my brother and take care of everything!"
