Chapter 138: The Expedition (I)

The military meeting lasted for three hours, during which Robin and Chief of Staff Jarvis analyzed the various geomorphological features and battle plans of the planet Wendini, and drew up a series of retreat steps and sub-plans. All in all, the entire battle plan seems to be seamless at the moment, and if hard combat indicators are not considered, the expeditionary force led by Robin can safely retreat from the planet Wendini at any time.

"This is the first time I've made such a battle plan, and I didn't think about winning before the battle, I just wanted to retreat, hehe...... That's not my style. ”

In the breakout area of the conference room, Robin held a cup of black tea and chatted with Jarvis relaxedly.

"This expedition is just a perfunctory federal military, and by the way, I also know the military strength of the Hoffman Empire, there is no need to fight so lively." Jarvis lit a cigarette and asked, as if worried, "But...... Are you really going to make Cecilia the flagship captain of this expedition? ”

In this military move, Robin's Charon mercenaries will dispatch two warships, including the TR-735 and the U-2 landing ship. On the premise that the fleet has repaired the 'Knife' frigates, Robin, who only sent these two warships, can be said to have preserved most of the military forces of the autonomous region, but in the registration files of the federal military, the Caron mercenaries are equipped with only these two warships, so Robin is not afraid that the federal military will make things difficult for him.

In the just-concluded military meeting, Robin and Jarvis had decided to make Lieutenant Commander Ray the flagship captain of the expeditionary fleet, and Cecilia to serve as the captain of the Knife frigate, responsible for staying behind in the Charon space fortress. However, Robin's decision was strongly refuted by Cecilia, and she was even willing to voluntarily give up the position of captain of the 'Knife' frigate that she had always dreamed of, and also join Robin in the battle.

Under Cecilia's strong request, Robin could only reluctantly agree to her request and rearrange a new personnel assignment, with Cecilia serving as the flagship captain of the expeditionary fleet, while Lieutenant Colonel Reizhe, who originally needed to go on the expedition, was changed to stay behind and serve as the captain of the 'Knife' frigate.

"You're afraid she'll be emotional?" Robin asked with a smile on the look on Jarvis' face.

"I absolutely agree with Lieutenant Colonel Cecilia's technical level, and this time the Hoffman Empire sent only an army, not a space fleet. So the likelihood of a war is very small, and I don't have much to worry about. Jarveston paused, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "However, although the fleet does not have too many combat missions in this expedition, its importance cannot be ignored. The fleet that stays outside the atmosphere will become the Army's information center and logistics center, and will be responsible for providing the Army with radar information assistance, airdropping supplies, and air cover in critical situations. I think Lieutenant Colonel Reizer will do a better job than Lieutenant Colonel Cecilia in this regard. ”

“……”

Jarves's words made Robin frown and groan for a long time, but in the end, he still stubbornly shook his head and said, "I believe Cecilia, although at this stage, she may be lacking in this area. But this was just her lack of experience, and the expedition was a small scene, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to exercise. ”

"But......" Jarveston anxiously tried to argue when he heard Robin refuse.

"Yárvis, our fleet will grow even bigger in the future, and one Reizer is not enough." Robin interrupted Jarvis, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I believe Cecilia will make a good fleet commander, so I don't think she should be deprived of the opportunity to train." ”

“……”

The reason Robin said made Jarvis unable to refute, so he could only smile bitterly: "Since you have already said so, then what can I say more." ”

"By the way, I'm more curious about the arrangements of your staff than Cecilia's question. You would actually let Xia Zuo serve as a front-line staff officer? Robin turned to look at Jarvis and asked curiously.

To be honest, this arrangement of Jarvis not only made Robin curious, I am afraid that most of the people involved in the meeting will be puzzled by Jarvis's arrangement, after all, even if the staff is nervous, it will not be so nervous that it will not even be able to send a single person.

"Xia Zuo and Shirley are strategic agents, I'm afraid you don't know the real meaning behind strategic agents, general." Jarvis did not answer Robin directly, but pointed out the background of the identity of Xia Zuo's strategic agent.

"Strategic Agent...... To be honest, I don't really know much about the scope of this role. Robin honestly admitted.

Among the 300 graduates of the Tiger Battalion, except for Xia Zuo and Shirley, everyone else, including Robin, was sent to the combat sequence of the front-line combat unit, and only Xia Zuo and Shirley were placed in the non-front-line combat unit of the disciplined forces.

In the eyes of those who don't know, they may think that Xia Zuo and Shirley are assigned to non-combat units such as disciplined forces because of their lack of combat strength. However, Robin, who has been in the Tiger Camp with Xia Zuo for two years, knows very well that Xia Zuo and Shirley definitely do not have such a problem as lack of combat strength. On the contrary, Xia Zuo and Shirley's combat strength is quite top-notch in the Tiger Battalion. Among the three hundred cadets of the Tiger Battalion, Xia Zuo's personal combat ability was completely in the top three, and even Zhuo Luo admitted that he was far from Xia Zuo's opponent at that time. Although Shirley was slightly worse, she could easily rank in the top ten, much better than Robin at that time. As a result, the duo of Shazzo and Shirley is considered to be the best combination in the Tiger Battalion, and is second only to the talented Danding and Carmen in terms of combat power.

Now, thinking back to the situation in the training camp, combined with the current situation, Robin also began to realize that this strategic agent may not be as simple as he imagined.

"In the military establishment of the Republic, the disciplined forces are responsible for supervising the army, and in addition to dealing with some soldiers' violations of military discipline, the more important duty is actually to prevent the defection and defection of front-line officers. In this regard, the strategic agents of the disciplined forces are primarily responsible. Feeling Robin's expectant gaze, Jarvis spoke out slowly.

Robin was stunned after hearing this: "But what does this have to do with your appointment of Xia Zuo as a front-line staff officer?" ”

"Because the strategic agent not only has to secretly dispose of the officers who have defected to the enemy in the front-line troops, but even at certain critical moments, the strategic agent has special authority to temporarily take his place. With Xia Zuo's current rank in the disciplined forces, if Admiral Clarence, the commander of the First Fleet of the Republic, is suspected of defecting to the enemy, Xia Zuo not only has the right to secretly arrest him, but even has the right to temporarily take his place as fleet commander until the central computer sends a new fleet commander to succeed him. ”

"What ......"

Robin's eyes widened in shock, and you can imagine the shock effect of these words on him.

What Jarvis said was classified information that could only be obtained by high-ranking officers of the Republic, and although Robin was currently the supreme commander of the fleet, he was only a lieutenant when he left the Republic, so he had no access to such high-level information. At this moment, after Jarvis revealed the true authority of the strategic agent of the disciplined forces, Robin understood why Jarvis was relieved to hand over the position of front-line staff officer to Xia Zuo, and also understood why Xia Zuo and Shirley were called strategic agents.

Agent, this is a name that is extremely feared by dignitaries in various countries. But in every country, the head of state and the security services attach great importance to the training of operatives as a part of the country's military power.
