After Chen Tian said "the meeting was dismissed", the whole conference room was filled with the sound of moving chairs when the body stood up, and the generals and staff officers who attended the meeting, regardless of whether they had a task or not, quickly left the room, only two people, two people who had become absolute topic of conversation in recent times, stayed alone.

One of them was Chentian, and the other, the titular supreme commander of this command, General Von Rundstead.

"General, do you know why I support General Manstein and not yours today?"

Chen Tian unhurriedly picked up the coffee pot on the table, poured himself a cup of fragrant hot coffee, and then picked up the identical coffee cup in front of Rundstead, poured out the remaining cold coffee inside, poured the hot coffee in the pot, and then slowly put it in front of Rundstead.

In the process, Rundstead sat upright with a serious expression, his eyes flickering as Chen Tian poured him coffee, but in general, his eyes never took his eyes off Chen Tian for a moment.

"Your Majesty has Your Majesty's opinion, this is normal!" Rundstead replied, as if somewhat self-justifying, "100 people may have 100 understandings of the battle situation!" ”

"Half right!" Chen Tian slowly picked up the coffee cup and took a small sip, for a monarch who is not good at smoking and drinking, and does not like extravagance, such a little hobby is actually the best.

"Is it still half personal?" Rundstead picked up the coffee that the emperor had poured for himself, but the coffee inside ended up being just a momentary contact with his lips, a ceremonial touch!

This point, Chen Tian saw it in his eyes, and at the same time knew very well that the other party was dissatisfied at this time, perhaps, a main player was continuously arranged on the bench is such a mood, perhaps, it is the mood that did not even enter the bench.

However, this is exactly the effect that Chentian wants.

"Half of half!"

Chen Tian held a coffee cup in his left hand and went down to the small tray. Holding a coffee cup in his right hand, he elegantly evaluates the other party's answers. However, his so-called personal reasons are different from Rundsteadt's understanding, and there is not a single personal bias in them.

There was a hint of confusion and confusion in Rundstede's eyes, and his lips trembled slightly several times, but he never said the third answer.

"It's an idea! The concept of the whole command! "Chen Tian didn't sell Guan Zi again.

"Your Majesty means ......," Rundstead put down his glass in some surprise.

"Concept!" Chen Tian nodded affirmatively, "The concept of a commander often affects the entire command team, but this influence is not always positive. And a command team is related to the fate of countless soldiers of the entire legion! ”

After a moment of thought, Rundstead suddenly stood up from his position and said in an extremely serious tone: "Your Majesty, if you think that I and my command are no longer capable of commanding the entire cluster, then please dismiss us!" ”

Chen Tian raised his head, and from the eyes of this general who couldn't help himself, he saw the firm attitude of a virtuous person who regards honor as his life and his confidence in his command ability, which he was willing to see.

"General von Rondstead!" Chen Tian said in a serious but not stern tone, "I'm afraid you've misunderstood, please sit down first!" ”

After a slight hesitation. Rundstead sat back in his place. But the content of his eyes did not change in the slightest.

"General, please tell me what is the most important quality of being a commander?"

"The big picture and judgment!" Rundstead replied without hesitation.

"Hmm. Very well, then tell me, general, what does the big picture and judgment make you see? In a relatively calm tone, Chen Tian said, "What do you see on the battlefield in the Far East?" ”

After a moment of thought, Rundstead replied: "Although there are still a certain number of Japanese troops in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, they are powerless to change the tide of the war; Vladivostok, which is currently the last target of our northern front and the most important stronghold of the Japanese outside of their homeland, pulled out the nail. The Japanese had no choice but to retreat to their homeland with all their might! ”

"Excellent! What else do you see? Chen Tian asked calmly.

"The Japanese army will desperately defend Vladivostok, and we must take Vladivostok in the shortest possible time, and then concentrate the main force to move south and sweep the entire Korean Peninsula in one fell swoop, so that even if the war ends with the prayers of the Japanese, our country will be in a very advantageous position!"

"Good, anything else?" Chen Tian continued to ask.

This time. Rundstead spent a little longer thinking about it, and it took about a minute before he spoke in a deep tone, and in Chentian's opinion, this was more like a helpless admission:

"No more!"

"Not really!" Chen Tian picked up the coffee cup again, and it was not until he drank a small sip of rich coffee that he continued: "General, as you can see, there is no problem with your overall situation and judgment, so you are still the best choice for the Supreme Commander of the Far East Cluster!" ”

Rundstead didn't speak, but looked at Chentian intently.

"War is in a way a gamble, a gamble that costs a lot! The two sides are not only betting on resources, technology and troops, but more importantly, competing with the wisdom, courage and courage of the commanders of both sides. ”

"Courage?" Rundstead seemed to have grasped something important, but he couldn't digest it all at once.

"Yes, General Manstein's courage is very impressive!" Chen Tian deliberately mentioned the chief of staff of this command, a talented young commander who was believed by many to be going to replace Rundsteadt.

Manstein...... A promising young man! Rundstead said softly, as if in response to Chentian's words, and as if he was saying it to himself.

At this time, Rundstead and Manstein, one was 54 years old and the other was 42 years old, one was entering the golden age of senior commanders, and the other was in the growth period of his military command career.

However, since coming here, Chen Tian has keenly discovered the problems of this command, that is, it is more than conservative and enterprising, from the preliminary preparations for landing on the Korean Peninsula to the beginning of a large-scale landing, all the work has been arranged in an orderly manner, but the huge advantage of the German army in this process is also obvious, and such a strategy seems too conservative.

Rundstead pondered quietly, while Chentian sat silently and drank his coffee.

The two people who met in the conference room seemed to others to be the subject of discussion and even argument.

Although it was not yet lunchtime, there were already many officers in the officers' cafeteria under the headquarters of the German Far East Cluster, who were sitting at the small tea table drinking coffee in twos and threes, and the familiar officers inevitably had some private exchanges with each other.

"Hey, have you seen that the battle plans proposed by the commander-in-chief have been vetoed by His Majesty, but the plan of the chief of the general staff has been favored, could it really be like that?"

A lieutenant colonel officer with dark blue eyes and a French aristocratic appearance whispered to the other two officers sitting next to him, next to his right hand was also a lieutenant colonel, his face was completely incomparable to the former, with a wide forehead, a wide chin, fierce eyebrows and eyes, and a high nose that did not match this big face, this face is not an exaggeration to describe it as ugly, but the owner of this face has a burly figure like a savage and a terrifying momentum, You won't want to play against such a character on the battlefield, it's terrifying!

"Gersta, I must admit that you have a very rich imagination, but talking about superiors is probably not what we should do!"

As he said this, the large colonel bowed his head slightly, and did not look at his companion.

"Yes, Mr. Gersta, how can you say that about your superiors?" The major officer who walked on the far left said in a serious tone with a playful expression that he did not look much younger than the two people in front of him, and that his appearance was very average, and his small eyes were dull and deep, which was easy to make people think that he was very good at tricking.

"How can I be! It's just a matter of expressing your own personal opinion! The lieutenant colonel with charming eyes seemed to be innocent, but there was a disapproving expression on his face.

It can be seen that the private relationship between these three people is very good.

"Personal opinion? Oh......" The small-eyed major shook his head, "my personal opinion is that General Manstein's plan is already better, and it is only natural that he will be favored by His Majesty!" ”

"Good or bad, we won't know until the battle is over!" The big guy interjected lukewarmly.

"That's right!" The one at the front randomly responded, "Whether it's a steady fight or a surprise victory, I think there will be results soon!" But in my opinion, it's better to be cautious! ”

The big lieutenant colonel did not say anything about such a remark with obvious tendencies, but the small-eyed major immediately retorted: "If there is an opportunity to reduce the casualties of the front-line troops, even if it is a little risk, why not?" ”

"No, no, no, I don't think there should be such a fluke mentality on the battlefield!"

"It's not a fluke, it's about using tactical adventures to achieve battlefield goals while reducing as many casualties as possible! If even these are called flukes, then war will turn into a simple arithmetic problem! ”

"Fluke, how is it not a fluke? There are so many uncertainties in this, what if the fog persists? What if something else happens? In case ......" When he said this, the handsome lieutenant colonel with blue eyes suddenly stopped, because he was so excited just now that the more he spoke, the louder he became, and the eyes of the whole restaurant were now focused on him.
