"The duty of the Night's Watch is to protect the Wall, not the Stark family, and organizing a large-scale operation to find Bunyan Stark is not only putting the cart before the horse, but also showing disregard and disrespect for the lives of the other brothers. Tyrion repeated Egger's words, staring at him like a ghost, holding the pen for a long time, "Are you sure you want to write like this......? Besides, how did you know that your commander-in-chief launched the Ranger Expedition to find Bunyan Stark?"

"I don't know. Iger confessed: "Maybe I misunderstood him, he is a dignified former Earl of Bear Island, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, and the big man must have a big belly, and he will not recall me and fix me because my subordinate accuses him of 'misunderstanding'." Besides, he can count on me to provide supplies. ”

"Since you know it in your heart, why do you have to use such an impulsive tone. ”

Iger spreads his hands: "What do you think he would think if I reasoned with the facts and tried to persuade him not to carry out this massive investigation?"

"I don't know, I'm short, but I can't get into Mormont's belly. ”

"I think he's going to think, 'Well, a guy hiding in King's Landing to be blessed, and you're pretending to advise us not to take any risks, just provide you with your supplies, and don't worry about any other things!'" Iger said, "and then, he probably won't read the arguments you wrote about not taking this adventure, and just wrote back, ordering me to get my supplies ready as soon as possible, or else be recalled." ”

"You're speculating in bad faith. ”

"But you have to admit that it's possible. On the other hand, if I pretend to be misunderstood, and then squirt him from the standpoint of the good of the night watch......" Iger did not argue, but continued to explain why he did so: "Hey, you know what, people have a weakness - when they hear or see someone say that they are doing something wrong, they will focus their attention for a moment, and then instinctively refute the other person. When Commander Mormont saw my accusation, even if he disdained it, under this kind of thinking inertia, he would at least read the rest of the content. If it doesn't make trouble, he will write another letter to reassure me, explaining to me the real purpose of his organization...... After all, he'd expect me to work hard and provide as much of the list as I can. ”

"You just have a lot of ideas. Tyrion snorted a few times, but also felt that Egg's idea made some sense, nodded and looked at the letter again: "Okay, you say it again, I will write exactly what you say, and when something happens, don't look for me." ”

＊＊＊

And so, Egg said, Tyrion wrote, and about an hour later, the first official letter from the 1st Night's Watch "Chief Logistics Officer" to the 997th Commander-in-Chief was written by Tyrion Lannister, and was roughly written in a sleek and graceful Westland script.

The letter begins with a righteous and awe-inspiring accusation, intended to attract the attention of the letter-reader, followed by Egger's speculation and judgment of the current situation north of the Wall, in short, as dangerous as it is, and as dangerous as it can frighten people, and then the Chief Logistics Officer throws out his opinion that the Night's Watch is now too weak to act alone, and the safest way is to first stabilize the defense, and then come up with strong evidence to ask the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms for help.

Finally, there were a few concrete plans designed by Egger - he used his imagination to come up with several ways to catch the ghouls alive in the safest way possible, with only a small number of elites from the Night's Watch. Not only that, but all the weapons and equipment needed to carry out these plans were promised.

......

"With all due respect, Egger, your plan is clearly idealistic. I am afraid that the results can only be achieved if the conditions are perfect and the plan is carried out smoothly. Now, Tyrion doesn't want to question the existence of those ghosts outside the Egger Wall, so he assumes that the other party is not, and then talks about the matter: "I have also been to the Great Wall of Desperation, the conditions and situation there are really bad and complicated, and the quality of the personnel is not satisfactory, and the situation may change at any time." ”

"I'm not asking them to do exactly what I say, it's about what I've prepared for these projects. Iger explained, "As long as they have the slightest approval of the idea of 'asking the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms for help,' and wait for me to send them the equipment to catch the ghouls and deal with the strangers, my purpose will be achieved." It would take a month for the King's Landing to reach the Great Wall day and night, and by then, the most dangerous moment would have already passed. ”

"What is the most dangerous moment?"

"Hey, military secrets. ”

＊＊＊

What Egg can't tell Tyrion more is that in the original plot's Ranger Expedition, the reason why the Night's Watch chose to camp at Ancestral Fist Peak was that it was judged to be the only way for Mance Red's 100,000 wildlings to attack the Great Wall south from the Frost Fang, and the terrain was difficult to defend - as long as they seized this high ground and held it, a few hundred Night's Watch could resist the attack of tens of thousands of wildlings and prevent them from moving south.

There was nothing wrong with either strategy or tactics, but unfortunately they were waiting for not savages, but ghouls all over the mountains.

As long as the Night's Watch is willing to delay the pace of departure a little because they are waiting for the equipment and supplies they have promised, the army of the wildlings will march south from the assembly area and rush over the Ancestral Fist Peak, so that the expeditionary force will completely lose the "opportunity" to occupy the favorable terrain. If they can't seize the Ancestral Fist Peak, they won't give the dead army a chance to surround them on the mountain, and naturally they won't be almost wiped out.

This is the best way for a logistics officer to influence the front line without command - to control the time when supplies are delivered.

＊＊＊

If the Night's Watch could follow their advice and capture the ghouls alive and send them to King's Landing, it would be the best ending, and if not, it would be a good choice to save as many of the Black Brothers as possible.

Unable to determine which was in his own interests, Iger finally decided to follow his heart: this time he should be an emotional person - he couldn't do anything and watch the three hundred brothers go out of the wall to die. Although he was bent on getting rid of his status as a Night Watchman, and he was dissatisfied with the large number of tasks thrown at him by those leaders, at the end of the day, the hundreds of Night Watch brothers at Castle Black had a love affair with him, and from a personal point of view, he also admired the high-ranking Blackshirts, character and dedication of Commander Mormont and Maester Eamon.

"Cut...... Bullshit military secrets, I'm not uncommon. Tyrion gestured disdainfully, picked up the letter and looked at it, "Well, that's it, do you want to add something?" ”

"Well, I want to think about it...... First of all, help me get the official certificate of appointment of the 'Chief Logistics Officer' and write it down - I don't want a salary, and I recruit my subordinates myself, as long as the Night's Watch officially approves my name. ”

"Well, that's important, isn't it?"

Egger thought for a while, it was not easy to send a letter to the Great Wall, so he simply finished what he wanted to say in advance: "Write down the difficulties I encountered in recruiting soldiers, tell them that I plan to recruit the idea of 'temporary night watchmen', and see if Mormont agrees." ”

"You're having trouble recruiting?" Tyrion glanced up at him again, "Why didn't I know, did you start recruiting?"

"No, don't worry so much, I said, you can just write it. ”

"Hmm...... Okay. ”

Egger organized the language, embellished his plan a little, and Tyrion wrote it into the letter.

"By the way, add one more, if you find the corpse of the Ranger brothers patrolling north, don't burn it after bringing it back to Castle Black, lock it up in a cage, and if you come back to life, just send it directly to King's Landing. ”

What the hell is this?Tyrion frowned, but decided to give up thinking for a moment and use himself as a writing machine: "And?"

"It's gone...... Well, one more sentence to give to Jon Snow, and say that Arya asked me to say hello on her behalf, that she was learning swordsmanship from me in King's Landing, and that she was having a good time, and that he was taking care of himself at the Wall. ”

Tyrion rolled his eyes, "You dare to pretend to be Miss Stark?"

"Write it first, I'll talk to Arya tomorrow, and she'll definitely agree. ”
