It was a heavy question because the AUF army has failed twice on this land If it failed a third time, both the reputation and future of the AUF name and the officers under its name will not end up well
As it was a hugeboth AUF and the Asmodian Alliance and Major Swiss Hepburn was only a low deputy officer in the intelligence department, the decision was not his to call
The conference rooain
”Now, talk to me” Marshal Valerian sided his body and threw the question to the generals, ”Who should we send?”
Every presented general started focusing on their feet tips instead ofeye contacts with their beloved Marshal
Since no one answered, Marshal Valerian started calling names
”What's your idea, my Chief of Staff?”
”Yes, Marshal, I was about to speak” The Chief of Staff cleared his throat and stood up, ”My view is to transfer an experienced coions”
”Transfer one from the front line?” Marshal Valerian frowned, ”One in the five war zones has already collapsed, do you think there will be a suitable substitute a the rest four?”
”Positive, Marshal” The Chief of Staff said, ”The deputy co with the coion under his co wars”
”Hmm, let me see” Marshal Valerian tipped his feet, ”Do we have any other candidates?”
”There are!” An Admiral General stood up, ”I recoion in the 3rd war zone He has achieved great results during this war He defeated two PUF legions during a single !”
”Then he winded up encircled,” The Chief of Staff who sat aside chuckled, ”he fled like a rabbit!”
”Your Excellency, he was against four legions with only one! And he survived, isn't that a proof of his capability?” The Adazed at the Chief of Staff with fire in his eyes, ”He's better than your candidates!”
”What's wrong with ain and said proudly, ”My two candidates are well-known throughout the united forces!”
”Yeah, they're” The Adrinned and sat down, then he added, ”They're known not for co affairs with their subordinates' womenfolk!”
”You!”
”What?”
”Shut it!” Marshal Valerian scolded, ”Are you out of your s!”
Swiss sighed quietly since these two generals' conflicts have been there since day one They were not happy with each other since the last war
One was the Chief of Staff ranked Ade of all forces' operation plan The other was also an Admiral General and the deputy commander in the military headquarters His status was below Marshal Valerian and above all others
Even Marshal Valerian has said that these two people always gave him a headache
In fact, Swiss knew the tere fighting for the Supreme Commander position for the next war Marshal Valerian was too old to assuet the chance to be the AUF's cohest rank: Marshal
Swiss shook his head at the thought
”Major Swiss,” Marshal Valerian noticed Swiss Hepburn's subtle movement, ”what's your idea on this?”
”Mine?”
”Uh-huh, yours” Marshal Valerian nodded, ”Tell me”
”Yes, sir” Swiss took a moment to think then he said, ”I think, no commanders on the front line are suitable for the job”
”Oh? You said none are good?”
”Yes, sir!” Major Swiss said peacefully, ”I think so”
”Interesting, explain yourself”
”Undoubtedly, the soldiers are doing a great job on the Protoss/As the three h they made minor mistakes, we've almost achieved all of our tactical objectives on the other four war zones Despite the Protoss United Forces has an arion commanders, their whole battle plans are drawn and deployed in precise steps, if we are to transfer any one of the interrupted, which will inevitably cause dae to the overall situation Camp is already in a mess, we cannot let the other war zones to fall into potential panics”
”Make sense, continue”
”As for the enemies in Camp, they're different from the Protoss forces weand fickle” Major Swiss' sound echoed in the conference room as well as in every attendee's heart, ”But the battles on the P/S Line are confrontations, they’re fact-to-face combats for land So those are two completely different kinds of battle styles In my point of view, our frontline commanders are not suitable for the job”
”No?” Marshal Valerian stood up and paced along thetable, ”You've been to Camp twice, what kind of a commander will defeat them, in your opinion?”
”Sir,” Major Swiss replied, ”We have two options, one is a hunter, the other, a farmer”
The Chief of Staff was surprised, ”A hunter?”
The Admiral was also astonished, ”A farmer?”
”Indeed, sir, think about it” Major Swiss said, ”Our ene enemy…”
”We should send acommander!” The Chief of Staff was very pleased with his brain, ”I get it, is it the hunter you were talking about?”
”Positive, but here, we have a proble the eneht by true But we're not allowed to lose one more time”
”So, what's a farmer?” The Admiral asked
”The so-called farmer is an extremely composed commander” Here, Major Swiss said with a hint of a set, he doesn't afraid of a smart hunter, because he is as smart yet he can outrun the hunter He fears an honest far hunted do, the farmer will not be duped The farnore any hostile intention He will continue until all the hiding spots for the prey are destroyed, then the prey has to show himself and confront the farh, the enemy will be a dead man!”
”But, wouldn't the target run?” The Chief of Staff asked, ”How could the faret him?”
”Sir, you ought to notice, our enemies have stayed in Camp for more than three months After the initial chaos, they neither advanced nor retreated” Major Swiss said, ”What does that mean? It means their mission is not finished yet That very mission will keep them here until it's done”
”Take a look, everyone, we're winning on all other four war zones In atall the PUF troops on the Line back to their hoiant map on the wall, ”I think, this troop's mission is to surprise attack our back end and the supply transits! Because once we've crossed the P/A Line, our logistics is prolonged and fragile Attacking a weak transit line is so they're best at!”
Marshal Valerian and the rest senior officers stayed wordless at theMajor Swiss' cohtly because it's a matter that concerned the result of the War
Marshal Valerian walked by the azed at theAs it was known to all officers under his co pile of orders will be issued, if anyone cannot say yes to those orders, a few orderlies hips were standing by the door
Marshal Valerian turned to face the rest suddenly
”Where are my backup forces?”
”Sir,” The officer as in charge i by at the Teferra(an Asmodian empire) side of Maplewood Deerfield!”
”Chief of Staff, deploy them immediately to the main battlefield” Marshal Valerian said, ”You need to speed up I want you to defeat the PUF main forces within two months!”
”Sir, yes, sir!”
”How many adult slaves you've captured on the front line?” Marshal Valerian continued, ”How many are qualified to serve as slave soldiers?”
”Sir,” A general stood up, ”There are 150, 000 qualified slaves!”
”How many soldiers are at disposal in the 5th war zone?”
”If we deduct the necessary defending troops,” The Chief of Staff replied, ”we have 80, 000”
”Redeploy them!” Marshal said, ”Put them into my backup forces Let them wash their shame on the frontline!”
”Yes, sir!” The Chief of Staff said, ”But how about the enemies in the 5th war zone?”
”Retain the defendants!” Marshal said, ”Although there's a Protoss 9th Legion in front of us, its existence ht be a trap! If we attack without preparation, we may sink into a surrounded situation We'll deal with them after we finish the Camp business”
”Yes, sir!”
”Transfer 80, 000 men from my backup corps to the 5th war zone, and 100, 000 slave soldiers! Sweep the entire area back and forth!” Marshal Valerian said with a cold face, ”The rest 50, 000 slaves will defend the Caet away! I don't believe 200, 000 soldiers to lose!”
”Sir, yes, sir!”
”I have my choice of the candidate for the 5th war zone He will be ready for the job shortly!”
”Yes, sir!”
