Chapter 42: Edge
Harris on the other end of the phone asked, but Tiffany still replied directly without thinking:
"Concerning Your Excellency, the Church has naturally given the Humble Rank the right to make appropriate decisions on certain matters on behalf of the Church and to convey the will of God, but the Humble Officer's speech at this moment is based on the basic strategic sensitivity and military qualities of an Imperial officer.
Judging from my humble position, my next speech will be very important to our army's strategic readjustment and victory or defeat, so I must inform the marshal and hope that the marshal will earnestly adopt my suggestions and revise the current combat plan of the whole army.
However, my subsequent reports and suggestions only represent my personal position, not the church. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Morgan Sail looked at the young graduate in front of him who had served as a principal and taught an excellent military school, and shook his head in disappointment, his capable face showed a rather helpless look, sighed silently, and said secretly in his heart:
"Well, after all, I'm still too young. ”
Not to mention whether Tiffany's later remarks were really insightful. It is rude enough for her to dare to suddenly insert a dialogue between the three chiefs and make such a fascinating and confident remark to Marshal Harris's question and answer the question and answer of Marshal Harris when all the senior officers are silent and waiting for Harris to make an arbitrary decision.
What's more, she, a teenage girl, has never had a clear and comprehensive consideration of the battle situation, and no one has ever informed her of the detailed information of each theater and the specific battle situation on the entire front, how can she be so confident?
In addition, her immature appearance was so incompatible with the crown and four-pointed star on her shoulders, representing the rank of lieutenant colonel of the Imperial Army, and the serious expression on her delicate face was so incompatible with her rather arrogant and strong speech.
As a result, all the officers at the round table at this moment, whether it was the commander of the armored division and infantry division of the Army Headquarters, or the veteran generals of the Navy's icebreaker fleet who attended the meeting, all sneered at Tiffany's ridiculous actions and remarks in their eyes, and talked about it one after another.
Rebalman was even more directly unhappy and bored with Tiffany's statement, and immediately rebuked:
"Hmph! I am so rebellious, how dare a young girl and a little colonel speak out at this military meeting! I want to hear it, old man, what kind of clever plan you have!
But if you are not right, then I will punish you for despising the ranks and despising the shallowness!"
Tiffany ignored General Rebaman's rebuke and waited for Harris' permission.
Harris on the other end of the phone heard Tiffany's words and was silent for a moment, but the trouble in his heart was much lessened.
Harris Darkness in His Heart:
Sure enough, the Pope will not deceive himself, it seems that this saint with the name of the Templar Church is really special, and her words and deeds must have been predetermined!
So Harris said in a non-wavering tone:
"Lieutenant Colonel Crowley is really confident, he is really young and vigorous, well, allow you to say your opinion and military strategy, you can try to speak. ”
Harris's gentle response, contrary to the norm of absolute authority, surprised and puzzled all the officers, but it also caused everyone to take a second look at the blonde girl standing in front of the last seat with her back straight.
Tiffany gave permission, and without squinting, she looked at the empty seat behind the phone on the round table and began her argument:
"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander!
It is true that I do not know much about the current situation in the various theaters and on all fronts of our army, but I basically support the resolution of Marshal Harris calling for a change to a strategic approach to a quick victory. ”
When Morgan Thorde heard this, he immediately snorted coldly, and his face became gloomy and unhappy, he didn't expect that the official-level graduates from this school would stand up and contradict him at this moment.
Rebaman, on the other hand, made her stand as soon as Tiffany opened her mouth, because she had the same opinion as herself, so she slightly put away a trace of dissatisfaction and wanted to continue to listen to what she was about to say.
Tiffany continues:
"Although I basically agree with the command's idea of a quick victory, before discussing the specific plan and operational deployment, our department's intention is to hope that the entire offensive posture can be dominated by our knights, and the whole line will surround and cooperate with our department!"
The voice fell, and the room was silent.
If Tiffany had only surprised the generals when she spoke, now her remarks have made everyone look at her like fools.
It was so sudden and shocked that the audience fell silent for a while, and no one reprimanded or refuted it......
Just as everyone was stunned by Tiffany's absurd words, Tiffany removed her eyes from the vacant Harris seat and glanced at the six commanders of the armored division one by one.
Earnestly continued:
"At that time, I would also like to ask you to concentrate your forces and cooperate with our department to break through and launch artillery bombardments and sweeps against the enemy. ”
When General Rebaman, who was sitting on the right side of Harris's phone, heard this, he immediately felt insulted, and it was a shame for him to sit at the same table with such a foolish yellow-haired girl for a second.
Such crazy remarks, devoid of military common sense and logic, would appear at a high-level operational meeting between the two armies headed by Harris and led by the Army Command.
Moreover, the ignorant person who uttered such boundless nonsense was a young girl who looked to be less than twenty years old, and by what means could she show off her might here? Where did this place the officers, if Harris were not also in the meeting, Rebalman could not help but feel that this was really a great expression of contempt by the command for his own naval departments.
He immediately stood up and shouted outside the door:
"Guard, throw this yellow-haired boy out to Lao Tzu, this is a high-level meeting of the Army Headquarters, not a mental hospital, how can such a fanatic be allowed to make a big fuss here!"
Even Morgan Holder, who had heard of Tiffany's peculiarities, thought it was quite ridiculous when he heard this, so he said:
"Arrogant and stupid. ”
As for the rest of the officials, they were even more provoked by Tiffany's simple few words, and they all felt that they had been despised and insulted by this lowest-ranking young officer.
"Silent --!"
William Harris's deep voice came from the phone again, not loud, not very high, and then it came out like thunder, and the silence of the four seats.
"Lieutenant Colonel Crowley, your words are a bit exaggerated, your department is only a thousand or so people, how can you fight millions of people at every turn?
There is no joke in the army, stating your specific measures and reasonable grounds, if you are just joking and teasing the officers, the commander will naturally punish you accordingly. ”
Tiffany replied without wavering:
"There is nothing special about the specific operation, it only needs to be led by our department, the armored division and regiment work together, and the two divisions concentrate on breaking through to the enemy's belly.
The rest of the naval infantry only need to hold the existing fortifications on each line, and then advance and occupy the stronghold of the city when our troops have destroyed the enemy's living forces from point to line and annihilated the main force of the defenders to create a hollow.
If the enemy concentrates his main forces and is willing to fight a decisive battle, then the battle can be decided.
As for Field Marshal Harris, please continue to lead the army elite and artillery corps in Middle-earth to hold off the enemy in the south. Just wait for victory. ”
"Huh...... It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"
Morgan Solder laughed angrily when he heard this, and couldn't help but laugh and say:
"Lieutenant Colonel Crowley, you are saying this as if the enemy is tofu that crumbles at the touch of it, as if wherever you go, the enemy will not have any struggle or resistance, and will not even be able to escape from the guerrillas?
General Rebaman, who had always been at odds with Morgan, saw Crowley say such words that had no military common sense, and for a while he didn't feel so insulted and angry, only that Tiffany was a clown, and then he even echoed in a rare voice:
"Don't be so serious, Commander Morgan, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, and please re-educate the students of this school, just as an additional teaching, the teacher is ambitious, and the teaching is tireless. ”
When Morgan heard this ridicule, he immediately felt that his face was dull, and his face became extremely gloomy.
Although Harris had been prepared, he was stunned when he suddenly heard such shocking words, reacted for a while, and asked in confusion:
"Why are you so confident, by what, by what?
And even if your actions are true, then how can you ensure that you, the 1,500 men, can act as an invincible sword, which is pointed at and crushed all the way?
Lieutenant Colonel, please show your evidence and capital to prove that you have spoken such confident words. ”
"Yes. ”
Tiffany replied with a serious face:
"With all due respect, it is true that as General Morgan said, in my opinion, the enemy is just tofu that can be broken at the touch of a button, and I am just stating the comparison of strength in a realistic manner, the fact is that the enemy is like butter and I am like a hot knife, and wherever I go, the enemy army will melt at the touch of a button. ”
Such arrogant words with such a serious tone naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone, if it weren't for the fact that the three largest heads of the headquarters were still there, some of the officers on the other side of the navy wanted to stand up and leave the table.
"Hehe, full of big words, I really hope you're not struggling and talking on paper. There are many people in the world, old man, I'm tired of seeing it, why are you showing off your power here?"
Rebalman asked in a relatively gentle tone.
Morgan Holder also couldn't help but sarcastically say:
"Just by you and your subordinates, can you do some so-called magic that can make fireworks?"
Tiffany's eyes flashed with arrogance, and then she began to whisper some prayer-like words, and after a moment she continued:
"Yes, just with this firework. ”
She stretched out her right hand, and a small flame that flickered suddenly out of thin air from her palm, and most of the people saw such a strange scene for the first time, and they couldn't help but think of it as a spectacle.
"Ridiculous! Even if you have some thaumaturgy, but at this level, it is far from enough to affect millions of people and thousands of kilometers of huge battles, let alone you...... You...... You!"
Before Morgan Thorde could finish speaking, his chin was stretched in shock by the scene in front of him, and the thick mustache on his upper lip stood up......
I saw that between Morgan's words, the flame that was originally as small and slender as a candle turned into the size of a fan, and swept the entire conference room between breaths and breaths.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, but the flames were not shapeless, but like ribbons, wrapping the round table, and the tail of the flames gradually rose to the roof, and the guards outside the house saw the fire in the house, and hurriedly ran in, only to see a heavy stone slab on the roof that had been burned off the beams and smashed down directly, about to hit his face.
However, before the soldier instinctively closed his eyes and raised his arms, and the large stone slab was about to press on his forehead, he suddenly felt a wave of hot air rise on his forehead, and he was already sweating profusely in an instant.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that the stone was gone, but the other generals and colonels except the soldiers knew what was going on, and they could see it clearly, the stone was wrapped in flying flames on the way down, and was instantly turned into black ashes, and the hot ashes had already drifted away with the wind before they fell......
When everyone's eyes left the guards, and then looked at the surroundings and the ceiling, which was still there, it was a clear night sky......
Except for the ruins that connected the other buildings and corridors, and a door supported them, the room where the meeting room was located was empty on all sides, except for the round tables and chairs where the people were standing, and all other places and objects seemed to be scorched and ashes except for the floor beneath their feet......
No, in addition to that, there was Harris's phone line that survived......
