Knock knock! Lear knocked on the door to Nolles' office.
"Please come in." Noles Packat's voice came from inside the door, as hoarse and low as ever.
"Excuse me, Captain."
"Oh. Second Lieutenant Alkerstein. Nolles gestured to the chair in front of him to take a seat.
Lear sat down, a hint of unnaturalness on his face.
It's not that he's afraid of Nolles or anything, let alone Noles, even if it's in front of Kilian or even Deggin, he won't be afraid of the other party, he is mainly weak-hearted, because he refused to marry the Sakhalin family before, and he always feels sorry for the other party.
"Don't be nervous, Second Lieutenant Alkerstein," Noles never complained about it, "I heard you went on a blind date yesterday?" β
"Ah, yes, yes, Your Excellency," Lear's face froze, "you're right. β
"Okay," Nolles smiled, a little hideous to Lear, "don't worry, I'm actually very happy that you rejected Miss Aina." β
What is this guy talking about? Lear was stunned.
In his opinion, this middle-aged uncle always has a feeling that he is not lucky to miss my daughter.
"Of course, I'm not saying you're a bad match, but in my opinion you and Miss Aina are a good match," Nolles said, "but from the standpoint of the elders, I don't want to see Miss Aina sacrifice herself for the sake of the family, I'd rather see her choose the object she likes." β
"Do you understand what I say?" He looked at Lear and said.
Lear breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course, you are Miss Ainaγγγγγγ Miss Sakhalin's consideration is admirable, and this is the so-called parental heart. β
"Ensign Alkerstein, this is not a parent's heart, this is a loyal heart," Noles's expression changed, "I am just a retainer of the Sakhalin family. β
Liar, but Lear is also a mature adult, and he smiled slightly: "Yes, I'm very sorry, I trespassed." β
"Nothing, then, is there anything you have come to me for at this time?" Norles asked.
Lear gave Norles a brief account of what had just happened.
"That's the thing, Your Excellency," Lear said, standing in Noles' office, "Matsunaga's tactical position has always been important in our previous arrangement, but now it seems γγγγγγ β
Lear shook his head and said, "Matsunaga is still not suitable, let's replace him for the time being." β
"Second Lieutenant Alkerstein, I was absent for a long time because of personal matters, and the affairs of the army were all left to you alone," Nolles did not answer directly, but thanked Lear: "You have worked hard. β
"Thanks to your outstanding work, I will not be held accountable for neglecting military affairs."
"Where, you've won the prize," Lear hurriedly stood up and saluted, "I've only done a small job, and this unit is still able to come together thanks to your popularity, Your Excellency, Captain." β
"The soldiers are willing to obey my arrangements only because they trust you, and then trust me to accept your instructions."
"You have a low opinion of yourself," said Noles, leaning back in his chair, "wouldn't it be better to be honest and admit your efforts?" β
"You're laughing, my little effort is nothing, compared to your merits."
"Let's not flatter each other here," Nolles smiled, "Tell me your opinion, although nominally I am responsible for the integration work, but you are the actual operator." β
"If Matsunaga can't be used, how are you going to adjust it?"
"Yes," Lear handed over a new report, "My suggestion is to modify the original tri-core combat configuration. β
"Our army now has a total of 9 MS squadrons with a total combat power of 27 aircraft, and there are spare parts equivalent to 10 aircraft, and the warships have three Mse-class 'Leipzig', 'Nobu', and 'Hamburg'."
"Originally, the establishment of the three cores was to cooperate with the current situation that our department has a total of 3 Musai classes, so in order to facilitate the adjustment in the battle, the idea of building a 3-squad combat detachment for each Musai class was adopted, and the configuration was based on the warships in the battle, based on this, the detachment leader chose Matsunaga, Leiden and Kado 3 people."
"Although Matsunaga is no longer available, I still recommend maintaining the establishment of 3 combat detachments, but it needs to be slightly modified."
"If you want to maintain the 3 combat detachment, what will happen to the detachment that originally belonged to Matsunaga, and is there a suitable person for promotion?"
"Words of hope and technologyγγγγγγ I can't say that there is no such thing as nothing, but no matter who is on it now, I can't convince the public, after all, Matsunaga messed things up. Lear shook his head and said, Matsunaga's talent is very outstanding, not that he can be convinced by changing someone casually.
"It's my fault, it's my negligence that put Matsunaga in a position where he doesn't fit yet, I'm really sorry." Lear bowed his head to Nolles and took most of Matsunaga's responsibility on himself.
"Well, let's not mention this for now," Nolles said, "Let's go back to the topic just now, if Matsunaga can't use it, who are you going to find to replace him?" β
"Yes, I am ready to take the position of captain of a combat detachment myself."
"Uh-huhγγγγγγγ" Noles frowned and groaned for a moment.
"Second Lieutenant Alkerstein, I trust your personal abilities, but can you do it? Wearing two hats? β
Lear's original position was to be the adjutant of the troops, which was not an idle position, he was not only responsible for conveying Nores's orders, but also translating Nores's orders into actual tactical orders in a timely manner, which can be said to be the core position of the entire army.
And the captain of the combat detachment, as the name suggests, is to fight on the front line, and if Lear is to wear two hats, he must complete his work as an adjutant in the midst of intense battles at the same time.
"Yes, there is no problem, unlike the officers of the fleet, the MS units are supposed to be fighting on the front line, and this will not affect my work."
"Of course, I'm not going to talk about it, we can practice it in training to see if it's possible."
"If possible, my detachment will be assigned to your flagship Leipzig, Cardo will be assigned to Hamburg, and Jonny Layden will be assigned to the field branch, so that our formation can remain intact."
βγγγγγγ Yes, just do it. Nolles thought for a moment and then nodded and said, "What about Matsunaga?" How are you going to solve it? β
"Matsunaga's words, temporarily dismiss him and continue to be a pilot, after all, his skills are indeed excellent, and it would be a pity to waste it," Lear said, "My opinion is a verbal demerit, and I will not pursue it for the time being." β
"In that case, he'll be assigned to your squad."
"Yes, Your Excellency," Lear said after a moment's hesitation, "Your Excellency, regarding the plan I have proposed earlierγγγγγγ β
It's the good idea he said earlier.
"Ah, the plan you said about conducting offensive and defensive exercises with brother troops?"
"Yes, as I said before, relying on in-team training alone is no longer effective, although these soldiers are all new recruits, they are also elites who have received long-term training," Lear said seriously: "So, I think it is necessary to conduct an offensive and defensive exercise between troops before the war to run in the troops." β
"Even if it's not an army-wide exercise, at least one between the mobile forces on the lunar surface and us would be good."
"Well, the plan is indeed a good plan, and I also submitted an application to General Dozru about this issue when I returned to Zim before," Nolles said regretfully, "but it was denied." β
"How?"
"We don't have time to hold such a large-scale exercise again," Noles said, shaking his head, "It's not just a matter of holding such a large-scale exercise, that's what General Dozru replied to me." β
"So γγγγγγ" Lear took a soft breath.
The conclusion is already obvious.
"The decision to go to war has been made, and I'm afraid the time is just in the near future, but it hasn't been announced to the whole army yet."
The war is about to begin.
Lear seemed to be able to ask about the smell of gunpowder in the air.
