Chapter 274: Determination
Outside, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the scenery was just right, and such a day should have been pleasant, but even with such a good view, it still could not stop the cold that poured out of Admiral Nicholas's heart.
Nothing in this world is smooth sailing. No matter what you want to do, there will always be a bunch of things of one kind or another standing in front of you, and you have to find another way to get around it, or go on a rampage to solve it head-on, otherwise it won't work out.
"Whenever you want to do something, you find that it's always more difficult than you think. ”
This is an old proverb of the Terrans. Now, Nicholas knows what this old proverb is trying to say.
I finally came up with a tactical plan that might succeed, and there were troops available that had completed similar tasks, which was already in place, only the east wind was owed, but it happened that something went wrong here in the east wind. - The captain of the Hunter Squad actually has anorexia that I don't know what kind of illness it is...... This is really afraid of something, and finally there is a solution to it, so it is a waste.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Captain Sylvia of the Hunter Squad is very ill and is now too weak to support the Hunter Squad in its mission. Please also find someone else. Catherine said.
"How can this be ......," Li Lan sighed and shook her head.
Frankenski shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and he didn't support the tactic from the start.
"Well, now that there are no troops capable of carrying out the mission, I see who else you can find to complete this mission. ”
"Captain Catherine, can't you let the rest of the Hunter Squad go into battle while Captain Sylvia is recuperating?" asked Nicholas, still unconvinced. He really can't let go of this opportunity, once he really gets caught in the quagmire of fueling tactics, even more tactics will be useless.
Catherine shook her head helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, if Captain Sylvia wasn't present to command and dispatch, then the combat effectiveness of the Hunter Squad would probably be reduced by eighty." To be honest, only Captain Sylvia is the real executor of tactics, and the rest of the team is nothing more than a co-operator to cooperate with her actions. ”
Hearing the news, Nicholas's face was a little distracted, and Li Lan's face also had a sad look.
It was obviously an excellent tactical idea, and if it could be realized, it might change the way of war in the future, but now it is stillborn because of the lost executor, which is really ...... Sure enough, every classic tactic in history that has left a strong mark is composed of countless miracles.
"Forget it, Nicholas, let's add it up and maybe we can find a better way. Li Lan patted Admiral Nicholas on the shoulder and comforted him.
Nicholas stood with his hands in his hands, quietly looking at the spring light outside the tent, he was really unwilling.
Such a good tactic must not be seen forever because of this incident, and it must be displayed in front of the world. In this way, the casualty rate of those soldiers who fought bravely on the front line can also be greatly reduced.
"Li Lan," Admiral Nicholas slowly turned around and looked at the elven commander standing behind him, "we must not give up this plan. You know very well that if we cannot put pressure on the rear of the enemy in order to reduce the pressure on the front, the whirlpool of war will widen and widen, involving countless brave soldiers, do you want those good lads to lose their lives in vain? Think about it, we have a chance to reduce the casualties of our soldiers, but we have not grasped it because of a small difficulty, which is not what a real commander should do. ”
"Nicholas......" Li Lan opened his mouth to say something, but Nicholas raised his hand to interrupt him.
"I know what you're trying to say, Li Lan. You want to say that a true commander must have a cold-blooded heart to treat soldiers as pawns on a chessboard, and cannot stop commanding because he cares too much about the casualties of the soldiers at the bottom. But have you ever wondered what the purpose of the existence of the commander is? Isn't the existence of the commander to exchange the lives of the least number of soldiers for the greatest results? From the very beginning, our task was to keep more soldiers alive. It is true that there are times when we have to sacrifice the lives of some of our soldiers for something, but not now, and I am determined that I must put this tactic into practice, and if it succeeds, we will succeed in stopping the demonic onslaught...... Li Lan, don't you want to live forever?"
This is something that everyone wants to do, but over the years, how many people can really do it?
The top commanders who have been praised for centuries are remembered for discovering better tactics and winning great victories, and Nicholas used this method to lure Li Lan to support him.
No one can resist the temptation to leave a name in the annals of history!
Li Lan glanced at Nicholas deeply, he finally did not resist this temptation, and asked:
"Then what do you want to do? You have to know that anorexia is a disease of the heart, and heart disease is very difficult to treat, do you have a way to cure heart disease?"
"I wanted to see Captain Sylvia for myself and see if I could convince her to overcome her fear of food. If this can't be done, then we can consider finding a priest to come and give her psychological counseling, the Holy See of Light is still very effective in terms of psychological cultivation, at least for now, it can rank first on the mainland. ”
"Your Excellency, this is absolutely impossible, you are one of the commanders-in-chief, how can you deign to see a small officer. Catherine said.
Catherine's words seem to be preventing Sylvia from getting a way to get back on the mountain, but it is actually a kind of protection for Sylvia. She knew very well how serious Sylvia's illness was now, if Nicholas used force to suppress her...... I don't know what the consequences will be.
Nicholas looked at Catherine, as a human spirit, he could naturally understand Catherine's thoughts, and secretly said that this legion leader actually maintained it like this for the sake of a subordinate. It's just that Sylvia he had to see it, and said with a smile: "Commander Catherine doesn't have to stop me, although I am the commander, but this war was won by the soldiers, and the commander only took a small credit." I just went to see her, and I didn't use force to pressure her, and if her symptoms weren't really good enough for her to carry out the task, I wouldn't force it, so you can rest assured. ”
