Chapter 234 (2/2)
”The herald of the West Route Army... That is, the route army commanded by Alan Jones...”
After saying this in a low voice, Albert shouted out of the big tent:
”Let him in!”
”Yes!”
Not long after the guards responded loudly, there was a sound of approaching footsteps outside the tent.
Then, a dusty soldier opened the curtain of the commander's tent and went into the tent.
When the herald entered the tent, he immediately respectfully saluted Albert sitting behind the long table.
”Alan, what military information does he have to tell me?”
Albert asked directly.
”Back to the coach!” The herald replied loudly, ”general Allen said that he would arrive at the position of the Western Route Army on June 30 and take over the command of the Western Route Army!”
”June 30...” Albert whispered. ”That means a few days later... It seems to be perfect before the attack.”
Just after Albert whispered this sentence, the guard shouted loudly again outside the commander-in-chief's big tent:
”Coach! Here comes another messenger! It's from the East Route Army! ”
”Have you verified your identity?”
”Check it! They are indeed soldiers of our British Empire! ”
”Let him in!”
”Yes!”
After a while, another dusty soldier opened the curtain and entered the military tent.
After the soldier entered the tent, before he saluted, Albert asked first:
”Su Cheng sent you here. Is there any important military information to tell me?”
”Back to the coach!” The soldier immediately replied respectfully, ”the commander of our army wants me to tell you that he will arrive at the position of the East Road army on June 29 and take over the command of the East Road army!”
”June 29... It seems that there is no problem with the East Route Army. The commanders of the East and West routes army can rush to each other's positions before July 2. That's good.”
Albert nodded with satisfaction as he spoke.
According to the plan, the ”summer wind” offensive will be officially launched on July 2!
Therefore, Albert nodded with satisfaction when he learned that Su Cheng and Allen could both arrive at the military position in charge of each other and take over the command before this day.
After all, in this way, we don't have to worry about whether anyone has an accident on the road, which will delay the time to arrive at the military position, thus delaying the launch time of the ”summer wind” offensive.
Albert waved his hand and told the heralds of the two armies to go down and rest first.
After the two heralds went down to rest, Albert turned his head and said to Eliza:
”Eliza, go down and have a rest. After all, you have just arrived at the camp of the Middle Route Army. Are you tired all the way? So go down and have a rest first. ”
”Yes, I'll retire first.”
After that, Eliza saluted Albert and then withdrew from the army.
After watching Eliza leave the military tent, a faint smile gradually appeared on Albert's face.
——A faint smile with a somewhat sad color.
”Abigail... Used to fight side by side with you, but I didn't expect to fight side by side with your daughter now...”
After saying this in such a low voice, Albert's eyes flashed a few tears.
