Chapter 145 The Birth of Yan Nation's First Marshal
Army Minister Chen Yixin hurried to Yanwu Palace to report to Qin Ruihua and express his doubts and concerns: "Your Majesty, I really can't understand why Your Majesty made such a decision."
"You know, Gaoshan Island has been painstakingly managed by Dongyang State for decades. If Hero Shen succeeds in occupying it."
"Then the possibility of Dongyang going to war with our country will be as high as 90%, and it may even lead to a full-scale war."
Qin Ruihua smiled slightly: "I naturally have my own considerations."
"My goal is not limited to Dongyang, but the wider Lijian Kingdom."
"The world situation is becoming increasingly turbulent, and the outbreak of a world war has become an inevitable trend."
"Therefore, we must plan ahead and make arrangements in advance."
"If a world war breaks out, we will act quickly and send our military bases in Europe to occupy Iceland."
"Then they gradually achieved control over the entire South Seas region and eventually seized the Hawaiian Islands."
"However, this series of plans requires time and strategy and cannot be rushed."
After hearing this, Chen Yixin couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but he still raised an important question: "Your Majesty, regarding the formation of the fleet, I wonder how you plan to arrange it?"
"After all, we currently only have eight aircraft carriers left, and two of them are deployed at military bases in Europe."
Qin Ruihua thought for a moment and said: "We will send a super battleship, two aircraft carriers, and some cruisers and destroyers."
"At the same time, there are submarines to assist Hero Shin in capturing Gaoshan Island."
"Next, we will continue to build more aircraft carriers and, if necessary, mass-produce escort aircraft carriers."
Chen Yixin, the Minister of the Army, responded: "Yes, Your Majesty. Then may I ask if we need to further expand the size of the Army?"
Qin Ruihua replied: "Not necessary at the moment."
"From today on, you will serve as Minister of Defense, concurrently as Minister of the Army, and will be awarded the rank of Marshal."
"I hope you can live up to my expectations and take on this important responsibility."
Chen Yixin said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"
Qin Ruihua smiled and said: "After all, how can a country be without a marshal?"
"And you are one of the first officers to follow me. I hope to see your name in the future ranking of world marshals."
Chen Yixin replied: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Qin Ruihua said seriously: "By the way, let your wife, Chen Yantong, the 11th Division Commander, select a thousand of the most elite people to form a Suzaku Special Forces."
"Then select another 2,000 elite soldiers from the entire army to form a Yanwu Special Forces to carry out special missions, assassinations behind enemy lines, etc."
Marshal Chen Yixin immediately responded: "Yes, I will select them as soon as possible to form a special operations team."
Qin Ruihua thought for a moment and asked again, "How is the training of Shen Yingxiong's troops going at the moment?"
Marshal Chen Yixin answered truthfully: "It's just barely achieved. They are just a bunch of ragtag troops. This result is already very good."
Qin Ruihua nodded and said, "Well, let them start attacking Gaoshan Island at the beginning of next year."
Marshal Chen Yixin responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Qin Ruihua smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about some family matters. I plan to arrange a marriage between my second daughter and your eldest son. What do you think?"
Marshal Chen Yixin was delighted when he heard this, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Of course this is great. It is an honor for my Chen family to marry your Majesty."
Then the two of them talked about the specific matters regarding the marriage between the two families.
They chatted for a long time, until late at night, when Marshal Chen went back satisfied.
After all, marriage alliances are very common between countries.
Moreover, Marshal Chen was a handsome man. His eldest son, Qin Ruihua, had already met him. He was only a few months younger than his daughter.
But he looks very much like Marshal Chen, so I'm sure his appearance in the future won't be much worse.
After all, being born in an imperial family, there are many things that children cannot decide for themselves.
It's impossible to let a princess marry a commoner or a businessman, right?
As the commander of the 11th Division of Yan State and major general, Chen Yantong quickly learned about the order from her husband.
When she learned that her husband had become the first marshal of Yan State and served as Minister of Defense, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in her heart.
At the same time, she also learned about the marriage, which was undoubtedly a happy event, a triple blessing.
Soon she arrived at her own unit. Looking at the group of female soldiers in front of her, a trace of excitement and expectation flashed in her eyes. She said in an excited voice: "Sisters, His Majesty is going to form a female special forces team."
"Starting today, we will conduct a division-wide selection, and only select 1,000 people. This is the name of the special forces team, the Suzaku Special Forces."
"I hope you will not let me down, nor let down His Majesty's high hopes."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The female warriors responded in unison, their eyes firm and passionate.
Afterwards, the 11th Division composed of women quickly launched the selection activities.
Every female warrior gave her all and showed her best.
The atmosphere at the selection site was tense and heated. The female soldiers showed off their unique skills one after another. For a while, there were fists and kicks and gunshots everywhere.
Some female fighters traversed obstacles at astonishing speeds, while others displayed precise shooting skills.
There are even some female warriors who can shoot an arrow through the target from a hundred paces away, so this is just a piece of cake for them.
At the same time, another team called Yanwu Special Forces is selecting two thousand people from all the army units.
The requirements for this special forces team are more stringent than those for the women's special forces team. After all, the women's special forces team only needs to select one thousand places from more than ten thousand people.
The men's special forces team needs to stand out from more than 200,000 soldiers.
Soon, the entire Yan State’s army was involved in this fierce selection.
The selection of women's special forces and men's special forces is in full swing.
