Chapter 282: Escaped?
Tick tick tick β
Time passed slowly, and the conference room fell into an eerie silence.
At this time, some of the generals closed their eyes and recuperated, some looked up at the ceiling, and some stumbled with the coffee on the table, all of them did not have the slightest intention of taking the initiative to fight, after all, no one was confident that they could defeat the Kingdom Army, which even the Central Army could not defeat.
Vega is certainly no exception.
Based on the experience of many battles against the Kingdom Army, Vega knew quite well what kind of combat effectiveness the Kingdom Army had, and he only relied on the geographical advantage and understood the restraint principle of street fighting and guerrilla warfare to blitzkrieg in order to turn defeat into victory.
Now let him play the Holy Dynasty away?
Don't be kidding, if he waits for the kingdom army to launch an attack to the east, he still has some confidence to compete with the other party, after all, the time and place are favorable, as long as the number of the two armies is not too different, there is a chance.
But playing away from home against the Holy Dynasty is different.
First, he is not familiar with the geography of the Holy Dynasty at all, and it is impossible for people to give you the command of the city, although the Second Empire and the Dynasty are allied forces, they cannot get the support of local civilians, and the number of troops of the Third United Kingdom is two group armies, and the number of Imperial troops is not proportional at all.
The time, the place, the people.
None of the three elements of victory are in his own hands, so what will he do to fight this war, and what courage does he have to take the initiative to ask Ying to fight, now is not the time to covet military merits, but a question of whether he has a life to go back or not.
So he hung his head very low, hoping that Hausman would not notice him.
However, to Vega's regret, the three positions in front of Vega were the seats of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd division commanders, and they were now besieged near the Holy Dynasty Saint Laurent City, and they had no chance to be his shield.
So the commander-in-chief, Hausman, took note of Vega.
"Suffer!"
Vega was the first to notice the commander-in-chief's gaze, but he didn't even dare to raise his head, and coupled with his height and appearance, he looked like a schoolboy who hadn't handed in his homework.
However, he took the opportunity to give Chief of Staff Escal a look.
This is a reminder that he should not forget the last gamble about whether the Imperial Army will win or lose in 3 months.
The bet was that if Vegal had predicted the outcome, Eskar would need to help him dissuade the Commander-in-Chief from sending him to help.
Although the gamble was interrupted by the herald halfway through.
But Vega can only pin his hopes on Chief of Staff Eskar for now, and he doesn't want to be sent to his death.
But Vega is just unfounded.
Commander-in-Chief Hausman's gaze lingered on Vega for only a second before leaving.
Perhaps in his opinion, Vega was just a fledgling cadet with good luck, so he didn't think about entrusting such an important task to a child, and finally he looked at the person behind Vega.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
After a cough, a voice sounded like heaven for Vega.
"4 division commander. β
"In. β
Hausman's words made the commander of the 4th Division, Garru ValdΓ©s, stand up suddenly, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the expression of despair on his face could not be concealed in any way.
"I think it's up to you to rush to the rescue. β
Haussman's voice echoed in an unmistakable voice, though weak.
This also made the commander of the 4th Division, Major General Garru, not dare to find any excuse to refuse, because if he refused, then the deputy division commander in charge of the 3rd Brigade, who was eyeing the position of division commander, would take the initiative to ask for help as soon as possible.
This is the means by which Haussmann acts as a superior.
The strong way of checks and balances gives every division commander no right to refuse, because if you refuse, he can always find someone to replace you and put you in the air.
At that time, although you are still the nominal division commander, the deputy division commander has already taken all the troops to the front line, and it is estimated that you will never return to the troops you were in charge of if you win, and if you fail, your troops may be wiped out, and it is estimated that it is impossible to rebuild.
Therefore, the commander of the 4 division simply could not refuse Haussman's order.
He sat back in his place decadently, and then said in a helpless tone: "Your Excellency, commander, please give me 5 days to mobilize troops, there are several regiment-level troops who are cooperating with other urban law enforcement teams for security and peacekeeping tasks. β
"No problem. β
Hausman coughed twice and said: "Then please ask your department to start a support mission in 5 days, how to operate it, please ask your staff officers to draw up a plan and submit it to the General Staff, the main direction of your mission this time is to cooperate with the 15th and 23rd divisions of the Holy Dynasty to recover several cities near Saint Laurent and open a gap around Saint Laurent City." β
"Xia Guan understands. β
"Do you have anything to add? If not, the meeting will be dismissed. β
Hausman waved his hand irritably, signaling that everyone could dismiss, but at this time, Chief of Staff Escal suddenly stopped everyone: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, please wait, I don't think it's enough to send a division. β
"In the opinion of the Chief of Staff?"
"I propose to send an additional separate heavy brigade of Brigadier General Vega. β
Escal's words made everyone focus on Vega, who was trying to reduce his sense of existence, and at this time he was staring at Escal with a pair of frightened eyes, he never thought that Eskar would not abide by the bet, and now he actually sold him.
"Please give me a reason. β
Hausman thought about it carefully, then looked at Escal.
He and Eskar have been working together for more than a decade, they know each other very well, and when it comes to marching and fighting, the staff is the brain of the whole army.
"Your Excellency, Commander, may not know. β
Eskar smiled at Vega, then looked at the commander and said, "Three months ago, Brigadier General Vega predicted that our army would be defeated, and he would ask the military headquarters for help in the third month, at first I thought it was just Brigadier General Vega's joke, because the loss of the Imperial Army to the Kingdom Army is really unbelievable, but now...... The facts are as you can see. β
Whoop -
Everyone looked at Vega in shock, and even the commander-in-chief Haussman opened his mouth in disbelief: "Brigadier General Vega, what Chief of Staff Eskar said is true?"
At the time, it was just a casual remark. Vega replied stubbornly, his heart full of remorse.
"Brigadier General Vega is too modest. β
Chief of Staff Escal praised wildly: "You may not have read the information of Brigadier General Vega, who not only defeated the FΓΌhrer's own 'Unbroken Array' Major General Kafin Dahlberg in the final battle of the general's plan, but also won the highest honors such as Imperial Wings, Father of Guerrilla Warfare, and Kareni surname before entering the military academy. β
"Other than that. β
"Brigadier General Vega has recaptured the fallen city of Kaleni in the northern incisor at the hands of the Kingdom Army, and in terms of combat experience against the Kingdom Army, I am afraid that none of you here can match. β
"In summary. β
Eskar said loudly: "I suggest that Brigadier General Vega serve as the commander-in-chief of this mission, and the commander of the 4th Division, Garru, assists him, I believe that with Brigadier General Vega's undefeated record against the Kingdom Army, this mission will be completed perfectly." β
