Chapter 40: Debriefing
The next day.
Third Army of the Reich, Conference Room of the General Staff.
The oval-shaped long tables were packed, and everyone who could sit here had the rank of brigadier general or above, and their faces were resolute, kind, or calm...... They were the core leadership of the Third Army.
It is no exaggeration to say.
If the people here are killed, then the entire Third Group will be paralyzed in an instant.
"Ahem. β
A cough was heard, and the room fell silent.
The coughing sound was made by the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, who was sitting in the main seat, he looked a little thin and sickly, and even his right hand with a cigar trembled slightly, this was General Foster Nolan, who was about 55 years old.
He wasn't an aristocrat.
However, he has the most honorable surname 'Nuolan' in the whole empire.
Even the current royal family has never had such a noble surname.
Taking the name of the empire as his surname, this is the most noble surname that only the founding generals who have made great contributions to the rebirth of the empire are eligible to be given by the head of the empire.
This surname is not hereditary.
But the existence of being given a surname will be with the glory of the empire.
Their names will always be remembered by the Empire, and as long as they stand on the territory of the Empire, even if they commit an unforgivable crime, no unit or individual is entitled to point weapons at them.
Surname Nolan.
This is the most noble surname of the empire, and it is also the highest decoration, and he is worthy of any soldier's lifelong struggle.
The surname 'Nuolan' has been given to less than 5 people, including the FΓΌhrer.
"Ladies and gentlemen. β
Foster always squinted his eyes and said, "The reason why you have been summoned here in a hurry today must have been understood by everyone from the materials on the table, now do you have any questions about today's topic?"
A bespectacled officer, with the rank of brigadier general, raised his hand.
"Deputy Chief of Staff, please speak. β
The brigadier general put down the information in his hand and said: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I think that all the battle plans of the 3rd Regiment under the command of Alcott Owen are in accordance with the regulations of the Imperial Special Operations, and the fewer people who really know about it under the circumstances at that time, the better, and the main reason for the failure of the mission is not the 3rd Regiment, I think it should be rewarded and punished." β
"What are you kidding. β
The commander of the 3rd Division stood up and said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Alcott Owen's 3rd Regiment wants to take this credit alone, if it was reported to the military headquarters immediately, how could there be such a big mistake, and now you tell me that it should not be rewarded and punished?
"General Lucas, please speak carefully. β
A Sven lieutenant general exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "Can't the people of our general staff see the depth of the battle plan of the 3rd Regiment? If we resolutely act in accordance with the plan of the staff of the 3rd Regiment, how can a reinforced regiment not be able to eat the contact point in the North District, and if this task is given to Lucas and your 3rd Division, will you still have to send an entire division and regiment? Or is your division inferior to even a regimental-level unit of the 7th Division? β
"You!"
Lucas still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the commander of the 7th Division, Alcott Owen: "The 3rd Regiment is my troops, although this matter is decided by them on their own, but everything is in accordance with the regulations, even if I know this matter, I will let the 3rd Regiment complete the task independently, as for the black cauldron of the failure of the mission, our 7th Division will not carry it." β
As he spoke, he glanced at Raglen.
Raglan sighed, stood up and faced the commander-in-chief and said, "Your Excellency, I don't want to shirk responsibility for this matter, the main fault is indeed mine, and I am willing to accept all punishments." β
"Raglan, you ......"
As Raglan's best friend, Lucas patted the table and said, "Your Excellency, although Raglan is at fault, I think the main responsibility for this matter lies with Alcott Owen's 3rd Regiment. β
"Ahem. β
Foster coughed twice, his eyes kept squinting, as if he had just woken up from his sleep: "Colleagues, please calm down, why don't we listen to the report of the commander of the 3rd regiment first." β
The door to the conference room was opened.
The regimental commander, Ganser Burton, walked in and saluted and said, "The 7th Division, 2nd Brigade and 3rd Regiment, Major Ganser Burton reports to the commander-in-chief and the generals. β
"Ganse, you've worked hard. β
The commander of the 7th Division, Alcott Owen, said with a smile: "Let's start the debriefing report now, and try to be as detailed as possible, so as not to let some people pick bones in their eggs and put all the on our 7th Division's head." β
Alcourt Owen finished speaking and glanced at Lucas with a blank look.
"Yes, Master. β
Ganser immediately began his debriefing report: "The first phase of the mission of our regiment was secretly carried out by warrant officer Vega, and the mission completion rate was 100%, and the United Kingdom espionage organization "Kaleni Contact Map 1" was successfully obtained, which contains the addresses of all the contact points of the United Kingdom espionage organization in the northern district of Kareni. β
After a pause, Ganser continued: "Based on the 100% completion of the first phase of the mission, the second phase of the purge was officially implemented yesterday, according to the battle plan formulated by the regimental staff, we will complete the mission before 23:59 last night, but on the way out was blocked by the commander of the 5th Division, General Laglan, resulting in a flaw in the battle plan......
"Major!"
Lucas interrupted Ganse dissatisfiedly: "Are you trying to shift all the blame to Raglan?"
"The lower officials don't dare. β
Ganse replied without humility or arrogance: "The subordinate only reported truthfully, and all the truth was recorded in the video crystal, and if His Excellency the General had any doubts about this matter, he could go to the archives at any time to access the relevant records." β
"Lucas be quiet, Major Ganse, you continue to make a report. Commander-in-Chief Foster said, knocking on the table.
"Yes. β
Ganser continued to make a report: "Due to a flaw in the battle plan, the regimental headquarters of our regiment immediately activated the emergency plan and accelerated the implementation of the purge mission. As of 23:59 last night, our regiment has destroyed a total of 143 contact points, killed more than 4,000 related espionage personnel, recovered 972 related documents, and another 173 contact points were burned. β
Bang bang bang.
The commander-in-chief applauded: "Major, the empire will honor you." Leaving aside the losses caused by the leak, you can poke the rat's nest in the North District with a single force, and no one can deny this credit, and the military department will not let the soldiers loyal to the empire suffer, do you have any requirements?"
"The lower officials don't dare to take credit. β
Gan Se said in a panic: "After all, there was a mistake in the plan, this is due to the lack of consideration of the subordinate officer, and the commander is asked to punish him." β
"Ganser, don't worry. β
Alcourt Owen smiled and said: "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has his own judgment on who is right and who is wrong in this matter, since you are asked to make a request, you can mention one, but don't mention requests such as promotions here, this is a private matter for our division headquarters, don't trouble Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief because of such a trivial matter." β
"Yes, Master. β
Ganse took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "This time, Warrant Officer Vega of the 232nd Company of the city-level mission single-handedly found the "Kareni Contact Map 1", and took the lead in the Great Purge Mission, and cooperated to support, and the subordinate asked the military department to evaluate the qualifications of Warrant Officer Vega for the 'Imperial Wings' award. β
"I'm against it!"
Major General Raglan, who was waiting for the commander to be released, suddenly stood up excitedly.
