Chapter Eighty-Six: A New Plan
The two of them will each have some opinions on this battle, but one is the famous executioner of the Inquisition, and the other is the Holy See battle priest who was born to spread the light, and may be able to put forward unique insights tactically, but it is really not very good in terms of grand strategy.
The exchange between the two men was very different on the first question, the intention of the barbarians to start the unrest. Austin thinks that they are echoing the restless southbound tribes of the northern barbarians, preparing to launch a larger conspiracy, while Rhine thinks that they are trying to destroy the trade routes within the empire, and that the southbound tribes are only a deterrent and delay.
Neither of them could convince anyone, and even a strong quarrel broke out at some point, and the people outside the house were worried about the source power fluctuations that spread from inside.
In the end, neither of them could convince anyone, so they suddenly looked at each other and smiled, and directly exposed this to the next topic. The pleasant afternoon passed in a hurry, Austin did not report to the headquarters, and Rhine did not visit the newly built church, but both felt that the afternoon was worth it.
In the evening, Austin asked Rhine to have dinner with him, but Rhine still refused with a smile and said, "You better eat by yourself, devout believers will gather in the church tonight to pray for victory." You can also participate if you wish. ”
Austin smiled but didn't say a word, and Rhine didn't force it, and walked straight into the wind and snow, gradually disappearing into a piece of silver, even with Austin's eyes, he could only barely see a vague figure.
The next day, Austin arrived at the headquarters with a group of black-clad men, with Blazing Bear and Quiraf on his left and right hands, followed by Brunei and three Black Wings, followed by twenty soldiers in two columns. Davix Austin is a little unaccustomed to the absence of a shadow, but such a lineup also brings him a strong sense of security.
This time, the treatment was completely different from when he first came to the headquarters, and the surrounding troops saw his arrival, and they no longer had any vigilance and vigilance, and they all saluted to show their respect. Occasionally, a hostile gaze flashed in the crowd, and Austin didn't care. Life is always full of jealousy and hatred, no matter what kind of exploits he makes, some people will express dissatisfaction, and he can only express helplessness and acceptance for such a villain.
Walking into the conference hall, Locke stood up and nodded at him, a look of inquiry in his eyes. Austin blinked, indicating that he had accepted his friendship.
To his surprise, although Yalinda let out a cold snort when he saw his figure, he still stood up and gave a military salute, and the military officers in orange military uniforms behind him all made the same movement. This is a great kindness compared to the initial coldness.
Austin naturally did not refuse, and immediately stretched out his right hand, Yalinda hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to shake it in response.
"I'm acknowledging your achievements that have affected the outcome of a battle in one battle, and I don't mean anything else. Yalinda is still the same hard-mouthed.
Austin pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said: "I understand, I also pay tribute to your decisive and excellent battlefield commander, your decision has undoubtedly made my efforts of great significance." ”
What a stubborn old man, most of the people in the military department are like this, young and old. Austin thought to himself.
Everyone sat down, and all the soldiers in one place stood behind Austin, and Davix had been assigned a seat, but he should still be lying in the hospital bed, and the vacant seat next to him was given to Quiraf.
The slave, or rather the captain of Austin's guard, was uncomfortable with such treatment, but he still sat in his seat with some unease under Austin's stern eyes.
Sometimes a seat is also a sign of status and honor.
Yalinda didn't say much nonsense, briefly expressed her praise for Austin and went straight to the point: "In view of the excellent results achieved by Lord Austin in the previous games and the joint efforts of all colleagues, we have achieved remarkable results in this week. Now I propose that the encroachment plan proceed as usual, but it needs to be controlled within a certain intensity, and all departments should be integrated and repaired without affecting normal operations, and a full-scale attack will be held in a month to destroy the enemy's lair in the west of the city in one fell swoop. ”
Austin sensed that the offer seemed to be in a hurry, but when he looked at Brunei, he saw that it nodded slightly to him. The intelligence network is directly in charge of Brunei, Austin does not interfere too much, and the analysis and handling are also directly delegated, which is his greatest trust in his subordinates, and Brunei has always done a good job.
Out of his usual trust in this brilliant intelligence officer, Austin was sure that this general attack was very certain, so that the usually cautious Yin Panther also showed such a positive look.
After that, the four-member provisional committee voted for a resolution, and Austin raised his hand in favor, and the next thing was naturally a unanimous vote. A month later, the opponent decided to take Davix's injury into account. The combination of Austin and Davix is definitely a nightmare for local powerhouses on the battlefield, and Austin is very satisfied with this arrangement.
After the meeting ended, Austin sat in the car back to the apartment, listened to the sound of the wind beating on the car window, and asked Brunei, who was sitting in the front row: "Brunei, is it too early for the military department to issue a decision a month in advance? I agree with you out of trust. ”
Brunei turned sideways, his well-proportioned body in the passenger seat with a lot of room to move: "Thank you, adults, for trusting me." Sooner or later, the general offensive will come, and the advantage we now have is very clear, and it is a good time to make a move. A month is long, but as far as I know, in twenty days, about ten modified mechanical heavy cannons will arrive here from the Vaal Duchy, which is known as the 'Steel Gate' in the south. ”
Austin understood, and said, "Don't you allocate resources from Beiwang City, and the situation is not good there?"
"I can't say bad, but I'm very nervous. Brunei smiled bitterly, "The Red Tide Legion has already had troops and the tribes going south have fought a few battles, although they are all victories, but the other party has not suffered much loss, they are all harassing and tempting. I have already placed these battle reports in your apartment, and I only gave you the report of Hanjiang City before, so I didn't bother you with these. ”
Austin expressed a little dissatisfaction with Brunei's self-assertion, but more to hide the shock in his heart. Harassment and temptation may be just to contain the support of the turmoil in Hanjiang City, the main force of the Red Tide Legion, but it may also be a prelude to a big war.
Brunei expressed his apologies and fear, and that it was indeed out of concern for Austin's health at the time, and then continued: "At the same time, there will be a batch of new equipment transported from Apocalypse City, also by land, all of which are Red Cloud series grenades and firearms of the surrounding specifications of Apocalypse City, which can arm almost every soldier here. Obviously, the above can't wait, the Red Tide Legion has already sent troops on a large scale when it encounters such a situation before, and this time it has been hesitating considering that there is a nail in the back. This time, it seems that Yalinda's encroachment plan can't withstand the pressure, and if you don't agree today, it is estimated that you will get a military order from the military department. ”
"That's why you're signaling me to say yes?"
"Yes, the frontal battlefield is still dominated by the military department, and the court cooperates, this has been the rule for many years, and I was afraid that you and Yalinda would not be able to step down. ”
"You've thought it through. Austin praised.
Brunei's posture was still low, saying: "This is my responsibility. Presumably, under such military strength, it should be able to make a final decision with the momentum of devastating and decaying, and I can't think of any other hole cards that the other side can contain us. ”
Austin heard from the words of this subordinate the fanaticism that should not have belonged to him, that is, the desire to win. Austin did not suppress such emotions, on the contrary, there seemed to be a fireball burning and rolling in his heart, burning his throat with thirst.
