"How's he doing?"

At the hilltop base of Bruno Prison, Robin looked anxiously at Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis who was in a coma, while a military doctor on board the ship was giving him emergency treatment.

"He was in terrible physical condition and was forced to regain consciousness by injecting drugs, but then he went into shock due to the transition of mental use. I'm afraid that in 20 hours, he will not be able to wake up. ”

"Really......"

Looking at Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis's pale face with some concern, Robin turned his head to the few soldiers around him and ordered, "Take care of him, in the future, he will be our chief of staff!" ～”

"Chief of Staff?"

After a brief moment of surprise, the soldiers hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Yes! ”

Robin made this decision for his own reasons, because now that the project had officially launched, he was deeply understaffed. Although all the people in the fleet have grown a lot all the way to now, and even began to stand alone, they are only a logistics fleet after all, and due to the shortcomings of talent and functions, there are too few people in the fleet who can really participate in the battle. Moreover, Robin's current staff is all composed of junior officers in non-combat departments such as the captain, and they have irreparable deficiencies in strategic vision and tactical arrangement without systematically studying staff courses, so almost every plan is completed by Robin alone.

Judging by the current results alone, it seems that there is no major problem in maintaining such an establishment. But as the only decision-maker, Robin was not carried away by those miraculous victories. He knew very well that most of these miracles he had created had been achieved by luck. With his tactical command ability, it is already quite difficult to command a company in battle, so in the future, when the fleet may be expanded to more than 60,000 people, the fleet must no longer gamble and rely on luck to win. Having a real staff that is comparable to a brain has become an immediate priority.

Lieutenant Colonel Yalvis was Robin's best candidate for the post of Chief of Staff, and the mere fact that he had accurately understood and digested the situation in the Union in a short period of time made him competent enough for the position. Moreover, his fifth-order computing ability and information processing ability are also talents that others do not have, even among the staff officers who are from the professional class, Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis, who has the ability to squeeze into the combat staff of the Marseille garrison, is also an extremely capable elite.

In addition, a good operational staff is not enough to build a real army. This is like a machine, in addition to having a precise electronic control system, it also needs a variety of parts for different purposes. And in order for the military to function perfectly as a combat machine, then various functional departments are indispensable. This requires Robin to break up all the existing rudimentary establishments and establish a job system with a clear division of functions in the regular army model. Therefore, this makes it necessary for him to tap a large number of talents as soon as possible to meet the urgent functional needs of the fleet in the future.

On this issue, Lieutenant Colonel Yalves saw further than Robin. Before he fell unconscious, he had already mentioned that a detailed functional investigation would be carried out on the 60,000 prisoners of war. Although he had not finished his words, judging from the fact that he would provide manpower in batches according to Robin's needs, it was clear that he intended to run Bruno Prison as a general surname training camp, and was prepared to use the limited time to further analyze the potential direction of the prisoners of war and arrange them with the most suitable positions for them to use their abilities.

Thinking back to the few short words before Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis fell unconscious, Robin saw in them the vast and well-thought-out plan for the future. And all this was a great idea that Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis had accomplished in a very short time. At this moment, Robin was greatly inspired by the deep meaning contained in it, and he also had a clearer goal for the future of army building.

But before that, how to properly accommodate the 60,000 scarred and exhausted prisoners of war was the biggest problem facing Robin. Although Robin had made ample preparations long before the rescue plan was launched, he even used all the funds in his hands to hoard a large amount of equipment and resources necessary for life on Bruno's planet. But when he actually took over the livelihood of more than 60,000 people, Robin found that this matter was far more trivial than he imagined.

In terms of resources, the total amount of supplies that Robin has hoarded is already enough to meet the needs of 60,000 people. However, on the issue of personnel statistics and the trivial distribution and implementation of various resources, Robin, who lacks experience in logistics coordination, simply has a feeling that he has no way to start, and he is accustomed to tearing up on the front line, and he simply does not know how to deal with this huge and cumbersome logistics work.

However, the reunion with Aubrey made him lucky enough to find the best person to handle the job. On Charon, Aubrey has become the commander of a reinforced battalion through his accumulated exploits. Although the size of a battalion was nowhere near the current 60,000 men, at least he had been the supreme commander of the Reading Operations Division, and he had more experience in dealing with a variety of problems than Robin. In addition, he also introduced Robin to Lieutenant Bouz, a logistics officer who had a relationship with Robin in Charon.

Robin had just arrived at the Caron War Department and was a rookie recruit, and his first official outfit was from Bouz. At the time, Robin was impressed by Booz's ability to manage logistics and supplies in an orderly manner in the face of supply shortages.

And Buz, as a veteran who has served in the army's logistics department for ten years, is simply an expert among experts in logistics management. Taking advantage of the prestige that Aubrey had established during the Battle of Marseille, the old duo of Booz and Aubrey took over all the work smoothly, and in a very short time, they solved the logistical, discipline, and other related problems that caused Robin a lot of headaches.

Now, under their unified arrangement, all the seriously injured patients, including Lieutenant Colonel Yalvis, have been sent to the mountaintop base with relatively better conditions for treatment. In addition, they recruited a large number of soldiers who had served as sappers and volunteered to join the infrastructure team, working with the officers and men of the TR-735 fleet to repair and expand the base, and to improve the living conditions of Bruno Prison as much as possible.

As for the rest of the manpower, Aubrey was tasked with exploring Bruno's prison. He ordered all soldiers in good physical condition to go on an exploratory mission, conducting a carpet search of the intricate mine tunnels in Bruno prison. Try to find out the details of the terrain inside the prison as quickly as possible, and make sure that there are any surviving prisoners in a corner of the prison.

As many as 60,000 prisoners of war had a clear division of duties after several orders from Aubrey. On the one hand, this solves Robin's current problem, and on the other hand, it stabilizes the mood of the prisoners of war, who have been depressed by the defeat, and reunites them into a whole, minimizing all kinds of negative factors that may affect the team.

At this moment, standing high on the base and looking at the enthusiastic POWs below, Robin could almost predict that something would change here. And seeing Aubrey transform decay into magical domination, Robin believes that Aubrey can manage everything here in his place.

"With you here, I can finally rest assured."

"You're leaving?" Hearing the meaning of Robin's words, Aubrey, who was holding a cigarette, asked as he puffed on the smoke.

"That's right, Lieutenant Colonel Jarves' plan must be launched immediately. I don't want to keep you here for too long, so I have to get back to the space station right away and plan a hunt against the Ultra Nebula Freedmen. Speaking of this, Robin smiled meaningfully at Aubrey: "I have asked Christine to set up an information terminal here, which can communicate with the Octopus space station at any time, and all kinds of inquiries and newly established computer management systems will be transmitted immediately. So, after I'm gone, if there's anything you don't need on your side, you can contact the station directly, and they'll take care of the supply and transportation. ”

"Huh...... I really didn't expect that the rookie who was a rookie back then has now grown into a big shot. Aubrey squinted his eyes and stomped the base under his feet: "Don't worry, I will help you keep the foundation you have laid." ”

"I believe this, with your hand just now, I can't do better than you." Robin smiled, turned his head to look at the AT-056 ship not far away, which was ready to set sail, and said in a deep voice: "Wait for me, I will come to pick you up soon." ”

"Boy......" Aubrey grabbed Robin: "Be careful when you fight." You're not that insignificant rookie anymore, so don't always try to rush to the front......"

Looking at Robin reluctantly, Aubrey instructed like an elder: "If you can't beat it, don't be reckless." Run when it's time to run...... Otherwise, I'll let Yarman go with you, he ...... missing an arm."

"As you said, I'm not the rookie I used to be. Now I ...... Very strong! ~" Confidently interrupting Aubrey's words, Robin leapt forward, and within a few steps he was like a phantom onto the AT-056's hatch.

“……”

Looking at Robin's confident back, recalling the action that was so fast that he couldn't react at all, Aubrey opened his mouth wide in surprise, not even noticing the cigarette butt falling from his mouth.

"He's really strong, and he feels like no less than the knight who cut off my arm." Perhaps sensing the shock in Aubrey's heart, Yarman looked at his empty sleeves with some loss: "Aubrey, I want to ...... I'm no longer qualified to stand by his side......"

“……”

There was silence for a long time, until the AT-056 ship sprayed a piercing tail flame that pierced the sky, and Aubrey quenched a sour face to the ground: "Damn, the young eagle is finally flying......"
