Chapter 163: The Midday Corridor (Part II)

"Are you trying to ask me what the hell I'm trying to say?"

Anselm looked out the window and said almost as if talking to himself. Trode, on the other hand, was a little surprised, because after Anselm had finished talking to him about his origins, he had talked about a lot of topics, but he had always kept a short distance from the main issues, which made Trode have to admire his conversation skills.

"To put it simply, yes." Trode nodded, he felt that after such a long conversation, there was no need for him to keep it, his state of mind had already been seen through by the man in front of him, although there would be a strong sense of discomfort at first, but now he had adapted to it.

"Actually, it's nothing, I really just want someone to have a chat, really." Anselm still maintained his previous posture, but there was something different in his tone, like loneliness, but not all.

If he had been Trode just now, he would never have believed this sentence directly, but he had no scruples now, and he could hear the change in his attitude from Anselm's words, and from the fact that this short sentence contained two "true", how much he wanted Trode to believe what he said from the bottom of his heart.

"Then you could have said it earlier, why bother." Trood said this with a smile. However, as soon as he exited, he felt that he had lost his words, after all, Anselm was the commander-in-chief here, and if he really was on an equal footing with a junior officer like him, it would really be a problem.

But before Trode could explain, Anselm spoke: "I want to too, but you can understand the reason for this." ”

Trood breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say this, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's cold in the heights, and seriously, I don't want to be like that, although there is a saying that 'a soldier who does not become a general is not a good soldier.'" But it doesn't seem that simple. ”

Anselm glanced at him and said, "That's not okay, this battle will end sooner or later, and our group of people will also retreat with the trend of the times, and it is up to you to fill the vacancy left behind." ”

"It's too early to say that, Major." Trode replied with a smile, and while his words sounded flattering at first glance, both men here knew that it was a trust in Anselm's abilities, not a mere expression of loyalty.

Suddenly, Anselm changed his tone and said, "Okay, having said all that, it's time to say something with content." ”

Trode didn't answer, just listened quietly, since Anselm was going to say "things with content", then for Trode, this matter must not be small.

"We're going to give up on Wade." Anselm said lightly, not feeling a trace of regret or loss from inside.

"What? Haven't we just made progress? On the other hand, Trod's attitude was quite excited, although Wald was not the exclusive defense area of his squad like the previous Batner, but this was also the place where he sweated and bleed, and it was impossible for him not to be angry if he threw it away so inexplicably.

"Don't worry. Hold your horses. Anselm swung his right hand up and down to signal him to calm down, and he said slowly, "We're going to move forward." ”

"Huh?" Trood waited to look at Anselm, he didn't react to what Anselm said for a moment, and shook his head vigorously before saying, "Advance? That's too fast, isn't it? ”

It's not that Trode is exaggerating, it's that Wade is in this situation, it's hard to withdraw, and it's just as difficult to advance, otherwise they wouldn't have been trapped here for so long.

"Exactly." Anselm nodded.

Trode looked around like a thief, and after making sure that no one else was around, he approached Anselm and asked, "Why did you suddenly give such an order?" ”

Trod's action caused Anselm to bow his head and laugh, and after hearing Trod's inquiry, he sorted out his emotions, looked up and said: "It's not a secret, you don't have to be so careful, and this thing is true, if you don't believe it, you can go out and arrest a British or French officer now, and if you're lucky, you can get the same answer from him." ”

"This" Troude's head was running at a very fast speed, he could only think of one possibility, he didn't hesitate, and asked directly: "Then that means that we will have a big move, and it is the kind of military action that the enemy also knows but cannot stop." ”

"That's right, the operation was actually started by the reserves in western Algeria." Anselm said slowly.

"The western part of Algeria?" It was mentioned in a relatively unfamiliar word, and he was a little unsure of how to continue.

"You may not know much about it, but you can imagine it to be similar to the Batner you were in before, except that the enemy attack was a little milder than that," Anselm said. ”

"So, what happened to make those lazy teams dare to step forward?" Trode didn't save any face for those troops, because he had been in Batna for a long time, and he really knew what was going on there, and it was hard to imagine what the troops would be like if it was less than Batna's enemy attacks.

"An order was given from above, let them come to a big sweep, after this battle, there will be quite few enemies in the rear, and it can also give them a serious excuse to let them go to the front." Anselm, like Trood, was flat in tone, but it was clear from the wording that she didn't have a good impression of the troops either.

"Really?" After listening to Anselm's analysis, Trode was not so excited, but said coldly: "Let us advance, they will take our original position, isn't this still a little changed?" ”

"That being said, it's good to be able to do that." Anselm was noncommittal to Trode's words, but he was helpless.

"Alright, thank you for giving me such good news. I'm going to go back and take care of my tank. Trood turned and walked away, but as if he remembered something, he turned back and asked, "By the way, can I ask?" Next stop, where are we going? ”

"Tripoli!"
