Volume I, Chapter 33: Contradictions and Opportunities

At some point, Eric, the big arms dealer, had quietly left the office. Mick and Alexander were silent and thought about their own thoughts.

After a long time like this, Mick suddenly broke the silence in front of him: "Alexander, last time I asked you to add some ingredients to someone's meal, did you arrange it?"

Alexander nodded: "Don't worry, I've already sent someone to do it." ”

Mick gritted his teeth, as if he had made up some kind of determination.

Arisha's big brows furrowed slightly, and she said seriously: "Mick, there is something I have to remind you. In the end, everything that is obtained through intrigue and intrigue will be doubled and lost, and the real art of struggle should be to be based on conspiracy and supplemented by conspiracy. ”

Mick nodded dupliciously, quickly dismissing Alexander's advice. After a long time, by the time he really understood the meaning of this sentence, he had already paid too much price.

Sometimes growing up isn't because of a famous quote or two, but it takes real tears, sweat, and blood.

Alexander saw Mick's carelessness, and added: "Mick, you must know that you can't escape the eyes of people who care about it just by pretending to be crazy and stupid, and although you are very good at acting, you still can't change other people's attitudes towards you."

Therefore, instead of devoting attention to these useless details, it is better to get to the essence of the problem and constantly enhance your strength, which is the so-called pattern. ”

Mick's face was calm, but there was a turbulent wave in his heart, he didn't expect Alexander's eyes to be so sharp, and he could see through the disguise and hesitation in his heart at a glance. He suddenly remembered Andrea's words: "It doesn't take magic to see people's hearts."

"It's time for me to go. Mick stood up and walked to the gate, suddenly stopped, and asked sincerely, "What else can I do for your side besides the order from the military department?"

Alexander smiled and shook his head: "My matter is too complicated, and you can't intervene for the time being." Don't worry, it's a bit of a hassle, but it won't be a problem for a while. ”

From his confident smile, Mick seemed to see a majestic castle, and his heart suddenly stopped worrying about him.

"So, I'm leaving. Mick nodded and walked out of the office.

After a long time, Alexander smiled lightly and said to himself, "This guy is the first time he has shown his true feelings to me." After saying that, he suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with this sentence, and shook his head amusedly.

In the middle of the night, Mick opened the door to the laboratory without saying a word and walked in with a blank face.

Enlucia was confined in a small cage, and her body was carved with delicate and intricate patterns, and everywhere there were patterns, they were swollen and high, and some of the upturned flesh was still bubbling with blood, and every time she moved, there was a pain in her heart.

Seeing Mick come in, her face instantly showed a frightened expression, and her body involuntarily began to tremble, instinctively moving back little by little, until it was completely against the iron fence on the side of the cage, and she was still squeezing back.

"What are you going to do?" asked Enlucia, trembling.

Mick grinned and said in a deep voice, "Of course it's a test. Enlucia, my time is running out, if I can't make a breakthrough, then let's destroy together!"

The practical class on the afternoon of the second day was "Tactical Arrangement", which White Bear Baier is best at. The main purpose of the tactical assignment course is to improve the commander's tactical command ability and teamwork ability, after all, all commanders start from commanding small units.

The course is more like a game, where five freshmen from the Advanced Operations Command Department form a tactical team and engage in a capture the flag battle against a magically simulated enemy, winning by capturing the enemy's flag or annihilating the enemy.

However, in the face of Mad Dog Anderson, it is naturally impossible to completely annihilate the enemy, and it will be very difficult to capture the flag.

Under normal circumstances, even if the five people used their strength to formulate a battle plan that they thought was perfect, and executed it meticulously, most of them would be beaten by dozens of times the enemy and then thrown out of the battlefield.

Given that last week's odds of winning a few men were barely enough, this week Anderson raised the difficulty of the battle without warning, and the few who were caught off guard were immediately disgraced.

Especially when Mick was the commander of the team, the five of them were ambushed by dozens of kobolds with shovels that were digging dung, and they were like cockroaches in a hole in the ground.

Mick swears that this is definitely the bravest, most insidious, most shameless, and most despicable kobold he's ever seen......

In the last capture the flag battle, White Bear Baier, as the commander, everyone was holding back their annoyance, wanting to give Anderson a little color to see, after all, anyone who was beaten up for an afternoon would be a little angry, let alone a group of arrogant guys who were not afraid of heaven and earth.

But I don't know why, Bayer's performance in this capture the flag battle was substandard, not only did the on-the-spot command errors frequent, but also the response was a little ridiculous.

They faced a squad of regular war horse cavalry, with a regular squad of about 100 people, while Anderson's "squad" was unknown in number, with a lower limit of 100 and no upper limit.

Faced with an overwhelming numerical enemy, Bayer devised a plan to sneak attack and capture the flag. Elizabeth, a gifted girl, objected, believing that cavalry had a great advantage in maneuverability and that a sneak attack was too risky, so it was better to disperse and sneak up on them, waiting for an opportunity to steal the flag.

But Byer ignored Elizabeth and stuck to his tactics. Out of obedience to the commander and trust in Bayer's track record, no one disputed it anymore.

However, the battle quickly got out of Bair's grasp as soon as it began. Mick and Daniel, who were in charge of the ambush first, were counter-ambushed by the other party before entering the predetermined ambush position, and were beaten up and out of the game first.

In this way, the remaining three must take on the responsibility of capturing the flag. But the problem is that they are exposed to the enemy from the very beginning.

Elizabeth advises Byer, who has the strongest fight, to divert some of the enemy, and Elizabeth and Bruno continue to lurk and steal the flag. Wanting to preserve the vital forces for the most crucial capture of the flag, Byer sent the fragile Elizabeth to divert the enemy.

The fragile magician is exposed to the highly mobile cavalry, and the results can be imagined. She was surrounded by enemies almost instantly, beaten up, and out!

Bruno, the little peanut who didn't get enough time, and the white bear Baier naturally couldn't lurk, and were caught and beaten by the cavalry, and the mission was a complete failure.

After this battle, Baier was so angry that he grabbed Daniel by the collar and angrily rebuked, "You two fools, you can't even enter the ambush position!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the little peanut and scolded: "And you, if there were soldiers like you under Lao Tzu in the Flower Language Legion, he would have chopped you with a knife." ”

"And that woman, what else would she do but read? She only ran twenty steps before she was caught up, it was like a rice bucket. ”

The few people who were already angry were immediately angered by Bayer's attitude. Little Peanut was the youngest, less than sixteen years old, so he naturally dared to be angry, but Daniel smashed the wooden knife in his hand and replied: "If it weren't for you, an incompetent commander, how could we have lost so badly?"

Shoot at a squad of cavalry, only a madman and a fool would give such an order!"

"It's a fool who never fails a theory class......" Elizabeth added coldly.

Baier's eyes widened angrily, and he yelled: "Lao Tzu has really been on the battlefield, how can it be like you rice buckets who only know how to talk on paper?

Daniel's face flushed, his chest heaving violently, clearly furious. Elizabeth's eyes narrowed slightly, and she pulled out a strange-looking doll from her arms. Baier sneered, looking at the two of them with disdain.

When the tension was tense, Anderson slowly walked to the hill bag and said lightly: "What are you arguing about, if you lose the fight, and there is infighting?

Hearing the words of dinner, the five of them sighed at the same time, and their faces hung with grief and fear.

Mick stepped forward at the right time to play the round, he put his arm around Byer's shoulders and persuaded: "Forget Byer, extinguish the fire, victory and defeat are common, lose this time, just work hard next time, why blame each other?"

Bayer pushed Mick away and snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm the same as you idiot? You are a defeated general, I'm not, the Flower Language Legion has only one belief, and that is to win!"

After saying that, he walked away under the angry eyes of the people.

Mick didn't mind Beyer's bad attitude, but instead showed a shallow smile.

He looked at Baier's angry back and the angry eyes of several people, and whispered to himself: "They are all famous guys, how can they easily convince others? But this is the best, otherwise where will I have the opportunity?" Hahaha......"

The Department of Advanced Operational Command is the best major at the Imperial War College and the cradle of training future senior commanders of the Imperial Army. Everyone knows that being able to study here means entering the fast lane of promotion in the military system.

Therefore, the annual allocation of places in this major is a headache, and it often turns into a competition between the major forces in the end, and the distribution results naturally represent the strength and compromise of each force.

The inevitable result of such struggles and compromises is that almost all new students represent all kinds of great powers (a strange thing like Mick is definitely a once-in-a-hundred years).

In addition, they were originally the pride of heaven and were not convinced by each other, so there was a deep rift between almost every class of students of the Senior Operations Command Department, and the most intuitive manifestation was that they were very disunited.

Mick keenly smelled the smell of opportunity, and gradually attracted the attention of several people for a long-term plan he was arranging.
