Chapter 14: Brainstorming

Eric's War Room has never held a seminar with Hoffman or Adrian since its inception, and those who received the short notice last night attended this morning's meeting with different thoughts.

Hoffman sat at the top of the table, while Adrian sat near the door, and away from the conference table, to tell everyone that it was Hoffman at the head today. Hoffman didn't say much after waiting until everyone was ready, and first handed over the plan he had written overnight in the form of circulation, only one copy, because it was a top secret, and there was no backup at all. The people present were also quarantined, generally far away from crowded places, and stationed alone in the forest. It's not that Adrian doesn't trust these people, it's the rules.

The first person to see the content was Rundstedt, the deputy chief of staff of the same administration, this famous general that Adrian was very fond of, at this time he was already a famous soldier, far beyond his peers, rich combat experience and perfect family background and education, so Adrian promoted him to the same position as Hoffman. Next are the three group leaders, followed by the members of each group, and by the time everyone finishes reading, it is already noon. Everyone was not impatient, but each of them was thinking about the gold content of this plan in their hearts. Needless to say, at their current level, they can't do everything like Hoffman and make plans with a global mindset, but they can't underestimate their vision and understanding, and more importantly, their ability to draw inferences, and even analyze and innovate. Although they are young, they also have infinite possibilities. This is like a seven-dimensional space, with points as the dimension, it will be full of infinite possibilities.

When the plan finally came to Adrian, Adrian didn't look at it anymore, there was no need, anyway, his level was so low that he might not have the insight and insight of Schellner, who was the lowest rank. He looked at the absolute elite at the table in front of him with interest. XTL was able to rely on these people to conquer almost all of Europe in the early stage, and if there were no reasons for these people, he himself would not believe it first. Some people say that there are not enough people in Germany, but he disagrees, he believes that the most important thing is not people, but people. And Germany does not lose to anyone in this regard.

The lively discussion did not come out as Adrian expected, but no one spoke, and Adrian was embarrassed, very embarrassed, but also knew why. Even if it is stated that they are in the same position, the military ranks of these people are too different, and the soldiers of the Second German Reich, who have a strict concept of hierarchy, have achieved the ultimate in this regard.

It seems that it is not possible to force it, Adrian cleared his throat and spoke: "Everyone is not allowed to leave the tent before dark, let the orderlies prepare whatever they need, all you have to do is to raise objections, each of you has at least one different opinion, if you can't bring it up before dark, I will send you back to your original unit by telegram." After Adrian finished speaking, everyone froze.

This is tantamount to repatriation, shame. How do you answer when someone asks you why you're back? Oh, I couldn't come up with a single suggestion, it didn't work, and I was sent back by Major General Eric?

Hoffman secretly laughed when he heard Adrian say this, and in order to cover up, he hurriedly turned around and pasted the plans on the wooden board behind him. Rundstedt, the nominal third-in-command of the war room, took the lead in taking a seat in front of the plan, and then everyone followed suit and looked at the writing, and the scene was finally no longer embarrassing. Adrian was not idle, although he could not help in this regard, but in terms of food, he was not ambiguous, and personally supervised the kitchen.

When he appeared in the tent with the orderlies carrying honey-coated bread, it suddenly occurred to him that Hoffman might not be the most lazy and unique one, maybe the position, or the skills required to be so lazy. Adrian was embarrassed to go in with the clumps of paper and shredded pieces of paper on the floor, the overturned cups and the swaying chairs. The people in the tent were no longer on their own as before, but were discussing fiercely in twos and threes. When Adrian left the tent, Hoffman took the lead in discussing some information about Army Group South with Rundstedt, and found some people who had personally commanded the battle on the front line to confirm and obtain a lot of new information. Over time, this mode of exchanging information has become a new sight in the war room, where people exchange information and exchange ideas. In this case, it is not difficult to understand the other party's ability in the view, who here does not think that he is the pride of the sky? However, this sense of pride was shattered after the conversation, and the Prussian spirit of not admitting defeat played a catalytic role in this situation. Learn! If it's not enough, I'll learn! Are you better than me? Then I'll learn from you! What the? Do you also have something you don't understand? Just right! I have something you don't understand, come on, I'll teach you, or you won't know how many brushes I have! This atmosphere was finally accepted by everyone, because they felt that it was really beneficial, and it was such a blessing to be selected by Major General Eric to be here.

Seeing that the discussion was about to reach a new level, Adrian hurriedly asked the orderly to empty the area around the war room with weapons and full armor, he could trust the people in the tent, but he couldn't trust the temporary guard company outside the tent.

Hoffman's plan was pretty and perfect in Adrian's eyes, because he wasn't even half-. However, in the eyes of these heavenly pride, even if they do not have a global view, they will put forward a lot of key points to refute Hoffman in their own opinions. If Hoffman had been in the past, he might not have disdained these little dolls at all, but he knew Eric's skills, and he also knew some information about the people from different places, units, and levels in front of him. In addition, he desperately hoped that this plan would make him a shame, so he listened very carefully and tirelessly.

Although Adrian is a hands-off shopkeeper, he doesn't want to be completely disconnected, so he listens carefully throughout the process.

As it got dark, the discussion continued, and Hoffman himself wrote down a wad of paper with questions in shorthand. Adrian knew that this discussion had been considered a success, but it couldn't even be talked about at the beginning, because the problem had been raised, and it had to be solved, otherwise what was the point of the discussion?

He doesn't know how to march and set up formations, but he knows that he can work together, and he also knows that many of the thinking that is now bound by the times needs him to untie the shackles, and he needs to open their thinking planes, just like the people in the current war room, assuming that Hoffman and Rundstedt's thinking is in three dimensions, then others may still be in two dimensions, but he Adrian can think in five dimensions, or even a higher level, which is the ability to have cross-era technology.

He took the paper he had written down the key points in his hand and slowly walked to the front of everyone. This is something he can figure out how to solve, so he intends to take the lead in solving it.

"Rundstedt's transportation capacity is indeed a very critical issue, but I have a way to solve it, so you can solve the problem yourself and draw it with a pen after Hoffman puts the problem sheet on the wall, and then sign your name." Adrian and Hoffman pasted these questions one by one on the board, and then crossed out all the problems he could solve, such as transportation and supply problems, and even crossed out weapons, which took him ten minutes, a total of nearly a hundred.

After Adrian returned to his work, everyone stepped forward one after another to cross out the problems they could solve, a whole list of problems, and the remaining problems became very few. Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and was finally moved. Is it possible to play like this? Everyone looked at Major General Eric curiously, and their hearts were full of admiration, it was too smart, and this method was indeed outrageously efficient.

Adrian didn't say anything about it, but slandered in his heart, your own questions are more or less because you have a plan in your heart, and the rest may happen to have other people's solutions, which is not unusual at all. Looking at the remaining questions on the question sheet, Adrian did not ask any more questions, but instructed everyone to complete the plan as soon as possible in the coming days, and lay out the remaining problems on the basis of what could be solved. Because these legacy problems are basically thorny issues beyond the level of his Major General Eric or even Commander-in-Chief Falkenson.

One sunny day, Adrian stepped into the office of Falkenson, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, with a black leather briefcase in his pocket, and after retiring everyone, laid out the plan in front of him.

After all, Falkenson is still old, and many comprehension skills still can't keep up with young people, but it was with Adrian's assistance that he read the whole plan, and under Adrian's gaze, he signed his name directly at the end. Adrian's recognition of the old marshal in his heart has been raised to a new level, but he doesn't know that Falkenson's heart has turned upside down, and people who have lived to this age have a spicy vision, but when they see this plan, they also know the gold content contained in it. Immediately afterward, under the cover of night, Falkensen quietly got into a supply vehicle back to Berlin, and only a few people knew about his whereabouts, and Adrian was one of them.

Adrian, who returned to Eric's war room, told the original story of this meeting without concealment, and then went back to his tent to sleep with peace of mind, and slept very soundly.
