Because of the issue of age, there have always been two different voices in the General Staff Headquarters on whether Major Anna is in charge of a squadron or even a brigade-sized heavy armored unit.

First, no matter what the record is, no matter how good the talent in all aspects is, its age is there. If he were to take charge of a squadron, would he be able to convince the public? It is not impossible to arouse the dissatisfaction of his subordinates. Moreover, his promotion to the high rank of major at a young age may also make him conceited, which is quite dangerous on the battlefield.

Therefore, it is the right choice to delegate it to the company, and then entrust it with heavy responsibilities after many rounds of tempering and beating.

On the other hand, regardless of Anna's age, they can only be used as generals, and other arguments become irrelevant.

Eventually, after the war between the Eastern Front and the Sukaran Federation entered a tug-of-war. Due to the excessively high material consumption, the formation of a new fast reaction force, the 102 Heavy Armored Corps Brigade, was once again put on the agenda.

And this time, it seems that no nobleman is willing to take on this task. After all, with the experience of Marquis's command mistakes on the Eastern Front, most people know that this is not a good thing. It's a hard bone that's a headache.

Imperial General Staff Headquarters Internal Conference Room (This is an area that is not open to the outside media)

In front of the round conference table, there were staff officers of the top ranks of the entire empire, as well as representatives of the nobility. (Flower arrangement: The army is only in charge of war, the normal things of the empire, and there are nobles to control, so the decision-making adjustment will still be through the nodding of the top leaders of both sides at the same time.) ）

Jetuah is holding the information that has been put together in his hand and introducing the people nominated this time.

"I have heard from many administrators in the library of the military academy that our young future general has seriously studied the maneuver of the brigade scale in the war history, and if he was not sure enough about himself, no one would have prepared such a thing so intentionally. This means that we, Comrade Major, were already aware of this problem during the period when we were students, or even earlier. ”

Jetuah motioned for the group to open the materials in front of them.

"Brigadier General Jetua, Angelina seems too young. Moreover, at this age, he is also a major. When did the empire set such a precedent?"

Speaking is the royalist on the side of the aristocracy - Count Riccardo Albert. Although he has been in the imperial capital for many years, he has not tempered much of his unique fierce temperament as a northerner. The height of more than 1.9 meters makes this northern man look particularly abrupt among the many participants. He just glanced at the information on the table, grasped the key to it, and questioned it.

As a member of the Albert family, Riccardo is his cousin, and he has heard of some of Anna's deeds. After all, the first unit Anna served in was the Northern Army, and it was also where her family was stationed.

However, as one of the deacons in the General Staff, Riccardo had no idea about the personnel transfers and promotions after Anna's disappearance. Well, it can only be said that all this was done by someone who skipped the personnel bureau of the imperial headquarters and issued all the orders in between. So much so that most of them are kept in the dark.

So, who has such a right? No need to guess, it is already a matter of knowing by heart. But why did the other side do this? These people need to be held accountable.

"Count Riccardo, are you questioning the Empire's policy on the appointment of exceptional talents?"

For Jetuah, dealing with these old antiques is still a bit of a heart. For them, it is only necessary to talk to them about patriotic thoughts. Although there are differences of opinion, the two sides still agree on the issue of patriotism.

As for Anna's somewhat fast ascension, Jetuah thought of a policy to deal with it. All that's left is to find the right time.

"Not really!"

"Good. As you said earlier, Anna is very young, but compared to her resume, her current military rank is reasonable. Moreover, this time it was not for her to take over the army directly, but for her to reorganize the second brigade of the Rapid Reaction Force. ”

When Jetuah spoke, in fact, everything was clearly explained in the materials in front of everyone.

The main role of the second rapid reaction force is to deal with the possibility of war fatigue. After all, the empire is now fighting on two fronts, and besides, Belmar in the north may cause trouble behind your back when you don't know about the trees.

The only way to ensure that this does not happen now is to keep the war running smoothly on all fronts. Once the fatigue period is reached, the so-called allies are likely to go with a knife in the back.

"This is, on the integration of Anna's three papers, I just excerpted a part of them, you can all take a look. ”

Anna's three essays are "The Theory of Large-Depth Operations", "The Composition of Rapid Reaction Forces", and "The Importance of Support in the Middle and Late Stages of a Great War". Especially on the topic of logistics, it seems that before the war on the Eastern Front, Anna foresaw the imminent fatigue of the war. Once a war of attrition is entered, logistics will become quite important.

The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first. You must know that the empire at this stage is no longer the kind of petty fights that it used to be. The ammunition consumption of war weapons, especially artillery, is quite large, unlike other weapons, which can be temporarily replenished on the battlefield.

Especially on the Eastern Front, if it can't quickly take the border fortress town of Sukaran, Ligaran, then it will have to face the problem of withdrawing troops. And the Empire is now allowing that to happen.

At the meeting, the aristocracy still did not let go. In the final analysis, they are dissatisfied with the military over the issue of the promotion of high-ranking military personnel, completely bypassing the personnel bureau.

However, there is no more suitable candidate. Just by controlling the mecha, many active-duty officers can't pass the test.

This result made Jetuah feel quite a headache, thinking that if the national teacher was present, things might be much easier. However, at this time, Mantosa was busy with another matter.

What could have been determined in a few hours couldn't be done in a daze.

At this time on the Eastern Front, a big thing happened. This incident directly catalyzed the acceleration of the formation of the new fast reaction force.

Eastern Front: Baikal Plain

A month after the start of the war, the empire still failed to take the border fortress of Ligaran in Sukkaran, and Rigaran's garrison held out without being able to keep the troops on the eastern front very annoyed. The Eastern Front, eager to take the fortress city, finally made a wrong choice, the consequence of which was the defeat of the 101st Heavy Armored Brigade.

While three mechs were lost, two soldiers were missing.

This kind of thing happens,
