Veronica slept until the next morning, when she woke up.

She found that her Polish uniform had been washed and neatly folded at the head of the bed. Veronica picked up her military uniform and found that it was still radiating heat, presumably freshly ironed in an iron kettle with hot water.

She put on her military uniform and left the room, just in time to run into the landlady.

"Wake up so early." Auntie smiled at Veronica, "I thought Miss Senhime would sleep in." ”

"Miss Shenhime maybe, but we Zhanji have always lived according to the standard schedule of military officers. Waking up early is basic. ”

"Yes. Come, let's eat. A German herald has just arrived, heading to the village headquarters before 0900. I thought about it for a long time before I realized that this 0900 is time, why don't they say nine o'clock well? ”

"I don't know." Veronica shrugged.

**

When Veronica arrived at the headquarters, the headquarters' wall clock was pointing to 8:40.

There were already three people present in the map room of the headquarters, two of whom Veronica had seen yesterday: the lieutenant colonel standing on the side of the map table by the window was Lieutenant Colonel Fernando, the commander of this German unit, who was supposed to be an Austrian; The colonel that Veronica had seen when she left yesterday was standing on the side of the corridor from the map table, and Veronica could only see his back, but the ornament on his collar badge was different from that of other German officers, so it was easy to recognize; Standing on the table directly north of the map was a lady with a flower indicating that she was a war queen, but her flower did not seem to be the same as what Veronica had seen on the identification book issued by the Polish army.

"Hello, Miss Veronica." Fernando, the Austrian, saw Veronica first, he looked up and smiled at Veronica, and then pointed to the people in the room, "Let me introduce you, this is Miss Veronica, the battle queen of the Polish Army, and this is Colonel Stravitz from Army Group A Command, he seems to prefer others to call him Lord Stravitz." ”

"Hello Miss Veronica, we met yesterday, and I didn't think it was my negligence to introduce myself." The officer named Stravitz saluted Veronica with his hat off, which made Veronica a little uncomfortable - she was more used to taking off her hat than a military salute, but after these days of fierce fighting, she had become accustomed to military salutes.

Veronica then saluted Stravitz and said in a stern tone, "Hello Mr. Colonel. ”

Stravitz raised his eyebrows, not showing a displeased expression, he also put away his gentlemanly smile and returned the salute to Veronica with the courtesy of a soldier: "Hello, Miss Veronica." ”

Fernando continued to introduce Veronica: "This major is Miss Ruthmarie, the captain of the president's battle team. ”

Ruthmarie saluted Veronica: "Hello, Major Veronica, you have worked hard in the previous battle. ”

Veronica stared at Ruth Marie's face, she had heard of the president's direct battle queen team, and rumors said that this team was actually Lin Youde's personal bodyguards - in more egregious rumors, this team was Lin Youde's mistress.

Veronica has to admit that Ruth Marie is very beautiful, but the battle queen is basically good-looking, just like the god queen.

At this time, Rosemary spoke: "Miss Rosemary, I hope you can tell me more carefully about the situation of the Russian army. ”

"Okay." Rosemary stepped forward, pointed to the map, and said, "The last time we encountered the Russian warrior yesterday was here......

"No, Miss Veronica, what I want to know is the performance of the Russian army's Battle Ji Magic Armor. It seems that they have made a major change to the armor after the Turkish war, so I would like to know more about it. No one knows this better than you, who have dealt with them yourself. ”

"Understood." Veronica looked up at the ceiling, thought for a while, and said, "The Russian army has switched to small-caliber artillery, but a battle queen detachment will still be equipped with a 107 or 122, I don't know the specific caliber, but that power, the caliber will definitely not be less than 107." And it feels like these large-caliber guns are carrying grenades, and they are not found to be using armor-piercing shells. The Russian army's small-caliber artillery is basically unable to penetrate the main armor on the front of the German-made new aircraft, but the threat of the Russian army's small-caliber shells outside the protective range of the main armor is very great. ”

"In other words, the Russian army is not a big frontal threat to us, right?"

Veronica nodded, and then said: "But it is also difficult for our firearms to penetrate the front of the Russian army's armor, and the joint defense of the Russian army is much better than that of the new German-made aircraft." ”

"But we are more mobile than the Russian army and have an advantage in sports warfare." Ruthmarie said confidently, she turned her head to look at Fernando, "Therefore, I insist on leading the troops to carry out armed reconnaissance, if we encounter the Russian army, mobile combat will be more advantageous, and if we help you defend here, it will affect our advantage." ”

Fernando thought with a stern expression on his face, and did not answer immediately.

At this time, Veronica gave a strange look at Stravitz, who was the highest-ranking military at this time.

The latter immediately noticed her gaze.

"My task is to truthfully report the situation on the front line to Army Group A Command, although I will also exercise command in the case of the original command sequence is abnormal, but now the command here belongs to Lieutenant Colonel Fernando." Stravitz whispered to Veronica, "And Miss Rosemary is now under Fernando's command. ”

Veronica was a little surprised, in the Polish army, a higher rank has an absolute right to speak, and everywhere it goes, it is the people with higher ranks who have the final say. In the past few days, Veronica had fully experienced the irrationality of this system, so now she was envious of the German officer system with such a clear division of power.

In the final analysis, the current Polish army is a unconventional army, and the historical Polish army has been wiped out with the great battle of the Polish hussars and Cossacks.

After that war, God seemed to have lost interest in Poland, and the great Poland had not been born for a hundred years, and could only be divided between Prussia, Austria, and Russia.

At this time, Fernando began to argue fiercely with Rosemary whether she should take the initiative, and Veronica and Stravitz listened silently.

Through Guò listening, Veronica knew that the 6th German Combat Engineer Division was stationed here, Fernando was the acting division commander, and the main armament of the combat engineer was a self-propelled gun called Nemesis, which seemed to differ from the combat vehicle in that it had no turret, and the muzzle was backwards, which was a weapon specially used for defense, hit and run.

Lieutenant Colonel Fernando seems to want to contain the Russian army during the period when the artillery retreats into new artillery positions, and he is worried that taking the initiative to attack will damage the strength of the Zhanhime force and make it impossible to complete this task.

Miss Rosemary, on the other hand, thought that taking the initiative to attack would greatly surprise the Russians and catch them by surprise, and if they could annihilate some of the Russian warriors or destroy their maintenance bases, then the Germans would gain a considerable advantage, far better than staying here and passively waiting for the Russian army to start attacking.

Neither of them had any intention of giving in.

Veronica watched from the side, and sighed inexplicably in her heart: Rosemary didn't use Lin Youde's name to scare people, obviously she is a person from the president's direct army, in the Polish army, this kind of direct team officer generally does not look at an ordinary army officer whose rank is only one level higher than herself.

Just then, a lieutenant entered the room and handed a telegram-like object to Stravitz, who was also listening to the two men arguing.

Stravitz glanced at the telegram, then coughed and interrupted their argument.

"Both, I have just received an order from the Army Group Command, and General Kruger believes that mobile forces should be mobilized to carry out a tentative attack on the current Russian army in order to find out the details of the current Russian army. He put me in charge of pulling troops from the front lines to participate in exploratory attacks, and promised the Air Force to provide air support once the attack began. I think it's fitting that Rosemary's troops should do this. ”

As he spoke, Stravitz handed the telegram in his hand to Fernando.

"Lieutenant Colonel, General Kruger has authorized me to transfer a regimental unit to carry out this mission. Each of your regiments is now busy building defensive lines, right? ”

Fernando carefully read the telegram, and then complained: "You should go north, the armored hunters are there, this should be their task!" ”

"Their heavy equipment hasn't arrived yet." Stravitz shrugged, "Otherwise, I'll leave for them." In the absence of foot combat, the armored hunters had to maneuver only by jeeps and trucks, but they also did not have enough jeeps. ”

Fernando bit his lip and finally nodded, "Okay, I agree to transfer the Zhanji troops belonging to my division to participate in this exploratory attack operation. I'll also provide a company of combat sappers to accompany the battle queens, and I can't give more troops. ”

"Thank you for your cooperation." Stravitz turned to Ruthmary, "I want to join us in this attack, no problem, right?" ”

"Yes, no problem, Mr. Colonel." Rosemary saluted the Colonel, "Then I'll go and prepare." ”

"Wait a minute!" Veronica spoke without thinking, but when all eyes were on her, she shook her head and said, "No, it's nothing. Don't care. ”

Ruthmarie smiled at Veronica, as if she understood what she had just thought.

After Rosemary left, Veronica clasped her arms to her chest and leaned against the wall and thought seriously-

- I don't want to go back to the battlefield anymore, but why did I have the idea of being a guide for Rosemary and her for a moment?

Veronica thought about it for a long time, but she didn't understand what was wrong with her.
