Chapter XXIII The duration is two weeks
[[[CP|W:779|H:479|A:L]]]"That is, you want to transfer Lieutenant Colonel Mastan to the 2nd District to strengthen your flank and ensure the security of the right flank when the troops of the Southern Front attack the Central District, is that what you mean?" ”
After listening to Estes's report, the president thought for a while and asked Estes rhetorically
"Yes, Your Excellency, my idea is that in the current situation, instead of a full-scale flowering, it is better to focus on breaking through, completely breaking the circular defense system of the Ishubal people from point to point, and concentrating elite troops to break through the enemy's core position from the southern flank, so as to completely collapse the enemy's defense."
Since ancient times, the battle of fortifications has been concentrated on attacking one point, and the other directions are countermeasures, the purpose is to minimize the effect of the enemy's fortifications, because if one point is breached, the troops can swarm into other points and will not be used.
"At present, although the method of a unit being responsible for attacking an area has clear powers and responsibilities, the offensive strength is greatly dispersed, and it is not suitable for fighting a fortified position.
"I've known this for a long time, but for some reason I can't arrange it that way."
The reason that Kim Bradley said was the bloodshed plan, and the Ishbal region needed a lot of blood to pour and make some of the Philosopher's Stones, so it would take a lot of bloodshed, whether it was from the Ishbars or the army.
The divisional offensive method is the easiest way to make the troops compete and increase the casualties of the attack.
"The subordinates understand that the president must have made this kind of offensive arrangement with clear powers and responsibilities of the various units because of the problem of elbowing each other by the officers transferred from the central government."
Estes believes that the characteristics of this attack method are very suitable for this operation in which a large number of officers of the Central Army are used, because the officers and bureaucrats of the Central Army have too heavy habits of infighting, and if they do not have a clear distinction of authority and responsibility, they will wear small shoes to competitors at any time and anywhere, and it is difficult to say whether they will be able to achieve such results at that time.
How dark and filthy the hearts of those bureaucrats are, Estes has a deep understanding in the central government.
"So what adjustments do you think need to be made to make a key breakthrough on the southern front?"
Without continuing the topic just now, the President continues today's topic.
"What kind of configuration and reinforcement is needed to ensure that the southern flank really has the ability to break through the enemy's defense line and destroy the enemy's defenses?"
In any case, the bloodshed in the Ishbal region needs to continue, but the national alchemists cannot continue to die.
President Bradley's biggest miscalculation was that he didn't expect that the rubbish specially transferred from the central government under his command would kill so many national alchemists, so much that it was beyond his limit.
Those are the candidates for the program and cannot be further consumed.
"Now the task I have given you is required to destroy the enemy's resistance in the shortest possible time and reduce the level of casualties of our army."
It is necessary to continue to shed blood, but no longer the blood of one's own people, but of the Ishbals.
Combined with the previous casualties, it would be enough for the Ishbals to shed some more blood.
"Name what you need."
Now it's time for the big president to get serious.
"The 2nd district is supplemented with Lieutenant Colonel Mastan, the long-range artillery units of the 1st district are supplemented by a battalion of infantry, the 11th district is supplemented by a long-range artillery unit of the 11th district by two battalions of infantry, the 12th district is supplemented by six battalions of infantry to supplement the direct artillery units of a district, and the 1st district is supplemented by a long-range artillery unit of a district, and two infantry battalions, the more direct artillery units are replenished, the better."
"Don't you need an alchemist?"
The Grand President noticed that there were apparently no alchemists in Estes' request, except for Mastan.
"No, I don't."
Seriously, Estes was always a little confused about the decision to send the national alchemist to the front.
Because alchemists are intellectuals who mainly focus on scientific research, they do not know much about fighting wars and leading troops, and their active thinking is not very suitable for the rigorous atmosphere of the army.
The degree of cooperation with the soldiers is not very high.,Sometimes some strange orders come up with strange ideas.,At first glance it seems reasonable.,But every time you kill and hurt yourself.。
Judging by the results, most of the crooked ways are heresical.
Compassion is overflowing, whimsical, and unrealistic.
All kinds of bizarre feelings emerge in an endless stream on the battlefield.
It is shameful to sympathize with the enemy and question the war, but to turn a blind eye to the fallen soldiers around him, to think that they are the minions of the government.
The conscience of heaven and earth, if you don't think about how to destroy the enemy and let the people around you live on the battlefield, but you think about bizarre things so far away, isn't this looking for death?
Those who are not determined to have illusions about the enemy on the battlefield die the fastest, and not only that, but it will also affect the feelings of the troops, so that the soldiers will also die faster.
What do you think, wait until the battle is over, this is Estes's consistent opinion, but some alchemists have just gone to the battlefield to have a seizure, which she can't stand the most.
So unless it's those alchemists who have gone to military schools and received a systematic education, Estes won't want it.
"No need for Your Excellency the President, the alchemist Mastan who has been transferred over is enough."
No matter how many young people come, they are all sent to death to let the country waste talents, and the places suitable for them are in scientific research institutes and news magazines, not battlefields.
People do their best is the right way, and Estes doesn't want scientific research talents to die on the battlefield.
"I'll solve the problem of artillery for you, a batch of field artillery that has just come out of the factory has just been shipped recently, and all of them are rationed to your southern district."
Now that he decided to go all out, it was only natural that Bradley needed to get serious.
"Mastan will be transferred to the second sector tomorrow and will be responsible for annihilation support, which is no problem, but the reinforcement ......"
Thinking about the old slippery head of Eastern Command Gulaman
"You need to make a trip to the headquarters to ask him."
"Yes, just ......"
Why do you need to do this kind of thing yourself?
"Recently, some idiot commanders have killed too many soldiers, which makes Gulaman a little painful, and the request that we need to replenish troops has been sent twice in the past week, and he always excuses himself with the excuse of insufficient troops, and you need to fight for enough troops."
In fact, Bradley also knew that his idiots had gone a little too far.
So he doesn't have much to say about some things now.
"Gulaman is the initiation teacher, and he has an unusual personal relationship with you, and it would be better for you to say it yourself."
Since his father had said it all at this point, of course Estes would do it
"I understand, Your Excellency, I will go to Lieutenant General Gulaman this afternoon."
"I've given you all the support I can give you, and you need to give me a reassurance, Colonel Estes."
The stern look shows that Bradley is not joking either
"In two weeks' time, you must completely destroy all the defenses set up by the Ishbals in the south of the city. Break through the enemy's defenses. This is a military order, understand? ”
"Yes! Your Excellency the President. ”
