Watching young people thrive, the old people always show a look of relief.

This is the best thing that can happen to human beings who embrace aging.

"And what does Colonel Estes think about this act of state terrorism by Ishbal extremists?"

When Gulaman and Estes are together, they always lead her to think, let her think for herself, and draw her own conclusions through analysis and judgment.

He is Estes's mentor, and he understands and likes this seemingly brutal and scary student, but he is actually very disciplined.

Playing the game within the rules is her characteristic. She never breaks the rules indiscriminately within the rules, and once someone breaks the rules to challenge her limits......

"Repression. There is no second option. ”

She will be full of joy and use the most brutal means to inflict the most brutal sanctions on those who break the rules.

"Repression? That would have provoked the anger of the Ishbals. ”

Although he already had a draft in mind, Gulaman was still examining his students.

"Yes, although the repression may provoke the local Ishbal people to revolt, it is also a necessary act, and in the seven years since the civil strife broke out, the country has been delayed by this rebellion, and in the past seven years, because of the rebellion and sabotage attacks of the Ishbals, the industrial and agricultural production of the entire eastern region has tended to be paralyzed, robbers and criminals are rampant, and people's lives and property have been threatened and destroyed. And all these acts were caused by the Ishbals, so there is no need for any leniency in punishment, first of all, it is necessary to mobilize sufficient elite and numerical forces to start from the border area......"

Listening to Estes's analysis and judgment, Lieutenant General Guraman nodded silently, a relieved smile on his face

Although there are still some immature places, Gulaman believes that in time Estes will become a good commander, wearing a shining star on his shoulder.

The future belongs to young people, and Gulaman has always believed in this truth, which is why he refuses on the spot when Lieutenant General Raven asks him if he is interested in the 'Undead Legion'.

Looking at the new generation of soldiers in front of him who expressed their opinions against maps and materials, young Estes, his own students.

This sense of peace of mind and pride is even clearer.

"Enjoying growing old is also a joy and joy~"

"Huh? What the? What teacher did you just say? ”

I didn't hear the teacher's words clearly because I was too involved just now, but compared to what the teacher said, Estes was more concerned about the expression on the teacher's face just now, which was ......

OMG! Blind me 24K dog eyes!

Is that the look on the face of the old slippery Gulaman? So the serene expression of an old man is the expression that an old slippery head should have?!

It's fake, right? It's fake, right?! Definitely fake, right?!!

It's deliberately teasing Estes, right?!

It was precisely because her expression was so shocking that she ignored the teacher's words. Very critical words

"Just now? What happened to me just now~"

But it was only for a moment, and the serenity on the face of the old slippery head Gulaman only appeared for a moment and then disappeared

"I can't even bear this interference, it seems that your cultivation is not enough, Aisha~"

Then there was a look of old disrespect, with white light on the round glasses, and the high-raised mustache flew with the upturned corners of his mouth. It looks very bad.

“…………”

Looking at this look, Gulaman Estes really wanted to pump himself.

What are you thinking? Who is Guramana? Can you show that expression? Surely you're playing with yourself, right?

"Teacher, can you please be more serious when I report in the future?"

When you work, you have to look like you're working, Estes thinks.

"Huh? Am I not serious enough to look like now? ~”

With Erlang's legs crossed, he is holding a fan in his hand, and the lenses on his eyes are shining brightly, no matter how you look at this look, it's not serious, right?

"Teacher...... Please don't push me okay...... I...... I don't want to do the same ridiculous thing as when I was six......"

refers to the fact that Estes beat the old man when he was six years old

"Hahaha~ After so many years, your temper is still so bad~ It's really like your father~"

Seeing Estes trembling all over, Gulaman smiled and resumed his serious work

If the current Estes beats Gulaman again, it is difficult to say whether Guraman, an old bone, can get out of the hospital.

"The rebellion in the entire eastern region, the Ishbal region is the center and the root of the qiē, and for this reason how to solve the problem of the rebellion in the east fundamentally depends on the Ishbal issue."

Guramane pointed to the eastern corner of the eastern part of the map, near the border, where the Ishbals were concentrated.

"And now, the security and state institutions in the Ishbal area have been completely paralyzed, and the troops have completely withdrawn from the city, because there is no way to distinguish the difference between the enemy and the civilians, so they do not enter the city with guns, they are just targets for the rebels in the city."

"How many rebels are there in the city?"

"Unknown"

"Equipment?"

"Unknown."

"Main gathering points and activity patterns?"

"I don't know."

"What are the plans and intentions for the attack lately?"

"I don't know at all."

The four didn't know, and now Estes had a completely clear understanding of the severity of the problem in the Ishbal region.

"That is, our people and troops can't even understand the enemy's situation?"

This is completely out of control, the Ishbal rebellion.

Seriously, before he came, Estes thought that the Eastern Region with Gulaman should not be too bad, but now it seems that ......

"Yes, the other areas can be controlled to some extent, but the Ishbal region has actually gotten out of control."

"Teacher Gulaman."

"What?"

"Why has the Eastern Command, which the teacher has been in charge of for so many years, have never been able to put down the rebellion?"

This is where Estes is puzzled, and when it comes to ability, Estes has absolute confidence in the old slippery head.

She found it inconceivable that the issue of a mere rebellion had developed like this in a few years.

"To be honest, I don't have a clue at all, I have done everything I need to do, but the civil strife is like an underground volcano supporting it, no matter how I put it out, I don't know what is going on, every time when the rebellion is about to be quelled, someone will go crazy, as if they have to run to the Ishubar settlement, kill a few people, and set off the fire of the rebellion that was finally put down."

Seriously, Gulaman has enough knowledge and trust in his subordinates, and he thinks that it is impossible for his subordinates to do such a thing, but unfortunately, this kind of unfortunate accident happened to his subordinates again and again, but every time the evidence is conclusive, and there are witnesses who confirm that it was his officers who did it.

Although the Gullaman was severely punished every time, the Ishbals didn't know what was going on, and they didn't buy it at all, and it stands to reason that although the Ishbals had some objections to the annexation, they weren't a very warlike people by nature, right? Their teachings are basically the ones that advocate patience and forbearance, and they should not be so crazy...... Acts of terrorism?

"Anyway, that's it now, we've completely lost control of the Ishbal district, and we don't know anything about the enemy situation in the city."

"Don't understand at all? That's too passive. ”

How important is the role of intelligence in war, but Estes knows very well, without intelligence it is very difficult or even impossible to win a war.

"Can't you send someone into the city to investigate?"

"I have sent people to go before, but the effect is not good, although there are Ishubars among our soldiers, most of them have relatives in the city and know a lot of people, so it is risky for them to go to the city, and the most important thing is their ......"

"Temperament."

"That's right, everyone's temperament is too much like a soldier, and not only that, the management and investigation of the Ishbal people in the city seems to be getting stricter and stricter, we have been caught sending people several times, and now the Ishbal people are already wary of those who enter the city alone."

"Really? I know Mr. Gulaman~"

"What's wrong? Aisha? Any ideas? ”

"Well, please help me prepare some medical supplies and some simple medical supplies, some medicine bottles and a white coat. I'm going to use it. ”

"Hey, Aisha, you don't want to go to the city to scout on your own, do you?"

"What's not to do? ~”

"It's a rebel-controlled area, and anything can happen."

"Ah, I know~"

"And you're still running to the city?"

"The worst case is that you are found to run away~ Don't worry, teacher~ Although our strength is not very strong now, we still have the ability to run away~"

Until now, Estes does not have a suitable positioning for his level.

"Okay then, I'll prepare something for you, and tell me what you need when the time comes."

Since Estes was so insistent, then Gulaman didn't say much

"Also, please have my troops stationed closer to the city, so I can have time to visit them."

"How long do you want to stay in the city?!"

"Until when will the action start, when will it end? Military intelligence is a time-sensitive thing. Today's reconnaissance intelligence could change tomorrow. ”

"What about your troops?"

"They've long been used to me being like I'm leaving, and with my adjutant Lieutenant Colonel Black Lily in charge, there will be no problem~ Or maybe they want me to leave them some time to catch their breath regularly~"

"Your soldiers don't like you?"

"No, I just think my training method is terrible~"

………………………………

Seeing off Estes, Lieutenant General Gulaman returned to his easy chair.

He talked with Estes for four hours, discussing the training of the Chasseurs, the next step in the pacification of the civil strife in Ishbal, and of course some family and other trivial matters.

By the time Estes was gone, Gulaman was already a little tired.

"Hey-silly girl, obviously she's so big, and I still don't have any common sense about some things~"

Selim was not the only one who knew that Estes's criteria for evaluating people were strange, and Old Man Gulaman was one of the first people.

Father Russ has never asked Estes to be measured by the standards of a normal person, so Estes has never lived up to his father's requirements. caused such a farce.

Four hours of conversation without a drop of water made Guraman, who was nearly seventy years old, a little tired.

"I'm old, am I still young? I don't know how to pour me a glass of water for four hours, this kid~"
