In the Penza City Military Region, Situ Jin sat in the position of the chief general, and all officers above the division level were listed on both sides of the big tent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The army has been informed that Bander and Ukati are preparing to send troops to Pensa. Since the war, the Yarrow Empire has been defeated and retreated, so there has been a kind of war cowardice in the army from top to bottom, hearing this news, although the enemy and us have not officially started the war, but the military spirit of the army of more than 100,000 has been chaotic.

"I'm really afraid of something, we were already losing and retreating, and now the commander has just arrived in office, and he has not yet run in properly with the whole army, I didn't expect the enemy to come, I have to say that they are really meeting the stitches!" Sforza, the commander of the third division, was about forty-five years old, with a lean body, a prominent frontal bone, and a naturally low voice.

"What's the use of saying that now, the most urgent thing is to think about how we can resist the attack of these two countries, and thus keep the city of Pensa!" Fred, the commander of the 1st Division, seemed to be steady, but in fact he was a well-known straight-tempered man in the army, and he was not accustomed to beating around the bush.

Immediately, someone echoed Fred: "That's right! It's a sure thing that the other party will attack, so let's not complain about anything now! In my opinion, for the sake of today, we can only try our best to defend Pensa City, you need to know that Longbei City behind Pensa City is just a small city, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the resources in the city are limited, once we lose Pensa City, we may not be able to hold Longza City for long, so we must defend Pensa City!"

Another officer spoke: "Who doesn't know now that our immediate priority is to defend this city?

All the officers spoke one after another, and they talked for a long time, but they didn't say why.

In the end, it was Sforza, the commander of the 3rd Division, who noticed Coronado, who had not spoken, and said to Coronado: "General, you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Sforza's words fell, but Coronado looked at Situ Jin and said loudly: "The commander is sitting here, why do you need to say more? We just need to act according to the commander's military orders!"

Coronado's words fell, and all the officers in the tent were a little surprised.

Everyone knows that Coronado's temper is easily unconvincing, and he has always been a thorn-like existence in the army, when the old commander Situ Nan did not step down, Coronado has more than once contradicted Situ Nan in public, although Situ Nan is very dissatisfied with him, but Coronado is also a division commander after all, plus his wife's maiden family is also a famous family in the empire, Situ Nan is not easy to do with him, so he can only treat him coldly.

Unexpectedly, now Situ Nan's son, who is less than 20 years old, has taken over the position of commander, Coronado, the thorn in the head, seems to be quite supportive of him, and he is also very respectful in words, in front of Situ Jin, Coronado has completely lost the aggressive appearance of the past, and for a while, all the officers are a little puzzled by why!

However, after being surprised, many officers were worried about the fate of Penza City, and if Coronado was allowed to lead and command the front-line army to fight, they would still have some confidence in their hearts, after all, everyone was quite convinced of Coronado's command ability, but listening to Coronado's words just now, he was really willing to completely obey Situ Jin's command! War is a major matter of the country, can it really be handed over to a fledgling young man so hastily? Everyone cannot but feel worried about this.

Suddenly, Situ Jin's voice sounded faintly in the big tent: "Listening to what you just said, it seems that everyone thinks that in the face of the attack of Bandle and Ukati, we can only adopt a defensive posture?"

Hamilton, Galen and Mu Lier were standing beside Situ Jin, hearing Situ Jin's words, the three of them looked at each other together, they had also proposed a plan to defend the city to Situ Jin before, but Situ Jin did not accept their proposal, so compared to the other officers in this big tent, they more or less guessed some of Situ Jin's true intentions.

"Commander, as far as you can see, what can we do if we don't take a defensive posture? Could it be that we take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the enemy?" Fred, the commander of the 1st Division, said, but there was a hint of mockery in his words.

No matter what Coronardo's attitude towards Situ Jin was, the other officers in this tent didn't believe that Situ Jin really had any ability to command troops! In addition, many of the officers in the tent are Bi Luo's cronies, although Bi Luo has been dismissed from the post of front-line commander and escorted back to the imperial capital, everyone also showed due respect to Situ Jin, the commander, but in their hearts, many people still want to vent their anger for Bi Luo's old boss, plus Situ Jin's age is there, many people scoff at him, the commander-in-chief of the army's ability to command the army!

When Fred's words fell, Situ Jin looked at Fred and said with a smile: "Why not take the initiative to meet the enemy?"

"What?" Fred's words just now were just to mock Situ Jin, and all the officers in the army also understood what Fred meant, and they were laughing secretly in their hearts, but they didn't expect Situ Jin to really think about it.

"Commander, you haven't been on the front line for a long time, and you may not know enough about the situation on both sides of the enemy!" Mantua, the commander of the Eighth Division, immediately came out and said: "Although we are about the same strength as the enemy, the enemy soldiers are extremely good at fighting, since the war, the number of casualties between us and the enemy has been maintained at around 3:1, that is to say, we have 3 casualties, and the enemy has only 1 dead or wounded, this is still a conservative estimate, plus we are losing and retreating, and the soldiers are now demoralized, and now we take the initiative to attack, isn't it sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?"

Situ Jin stood up suddenly, first glanced at Mantua, then swept his gaze over the faces of the officers one by one, and after a long while, he spoke: "The current situation of the empire must be very clear to everyone, do you think we still have the ability to continue to consume with the four small countries? Defend the city, how long do you plan to defend it? a year or two years? Or will it continue to defend it for a long time?"

After a pause, Situ Jin continued: "The mainland has now entered a period of turmoil, and the countries around us are all attacking each other, and now is the era when big fish eat small fish, and light rain eats shrimp, if we continue to fight with the four small countries, even if we are not consumed to death, we will definitely become food in other people's mouths! Today, I might as well tell you bluntly that we must end the war with the four small countries in half a month! And this is the purpose of my personal visit to the front line!"

After Situ Jin finished saying the last sentence, the whole tent was quiet at first, and then he remembered the sound of inhalation, and everyone, including Coronado, wondered if he had heard something wrong just now! End the war in half a month? How is this possible? If they can really end the war so easily, why do they have to work the front line for the past year?
