According to Jonas's orders, the advance team sent to the Alpine Pass had already set off on the day of Jonas's arrival, and according to Kohler, they had arrived at the pass the next day and had obtained first-hand information about the Savoy region, which was now on Jonas's makeshift desk, and Jonas was relieved to see what was written on it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In this message, the commander of the advance team explained in detail all the situation around the pass, there were not many troops around, and the whole Alpine pass was very quiet, not like there was an enemy, and when he went deep into Savoy to explore, he only found a camp two kilometers outside the pass, with the French flag in it, and there was no French army in sight.

This news is definitely good news for Jonas, who is now highly nervous, but in a blink of an eye, he couldn't help but worry again, and Kohler on the side watched Jonas's face change from difficult to see Qinglang, and then from bright to gloomy, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, he asked: "Your Excellency, is there some bad news written in the letter?"

"No, good news, Marshal Pétain shows no signs of going on the offensive against Susa. Jonas smiled reluctantly, his mood at this time was very complicated, as a commander, he could not think about only one aspect like Kohler, this is also where he was confused, Kohler on the side heard Jonas say that Petain would not attack Susa, he couldn't help but be even more strange, he asked: "Then Your Excellency, why are you bothered?"

Jonas didn't want to say it, because he didn't have the answer to this question in his heart, saying it would only make a person worry, and it wouldn't change the reality in any way, but given that Kohler was the commander of Turin and his most important foreign aid now, Jonas thought about it and said: " Savoy's position is very important to the Empire, if they attack us, then Petain will not have the strength to attack Lower Lorraine, and now, he does not want to attack us, that is to say, your master, the Count of Karst, is now in a very dangerous situation, I think you should know that the grain route is threatened, this is definitely a very dangerous thing, and now your master, my father, is facing this danger. ”

"Your Excellency, you are right, I'm sorry, I was too stupid to think of this. Kohler's expression was a little abrupt, followed by a burst of remorse, obviously, he really didn't find this problem, Jonas looked at him and couldn't help sighing, you see, telling him is really useless, at this moment, Kohler said: "Then we should take action, we must not let the French cut off the Duke's food route." ”

"We have only a thousand knights and twenty thousand soldiers, while the enemy has four thousand knights and thirty thousand soldiers, and they have many castles and tens of thousands of reserves hidden in France, and we have no reserves, and this is an impossible war to win. ”

Jonas said in frustration, of course he also thought about harassing the war to attract Petain's attention to their side, but the difference in strength is too great, Petain's power, but he has the entire southern French military power, which is equivalent to the territory of four Susa, two and a half population, and the strength can be described as endless, but it is not that Jonas can succeed by working hard.

"My lord, we can not confront them head-on, but don't forget, Turin is a mountain city, our inhabitants have lived near the Alps since a thousand years ago, and there is no one in the world who knows the Alps better than we do, and this mountain has many tunnels, although these tunnels are small, but small armies can pass through, and we can send troops to Savoy and harass their food routes and cities, so that they will have to take care of themselves, and have to deploy more troops on the Susa line, although I don't know if this will be useful, but I think it is certainly better than us doing nothing, Your Excellency。 ”

When Jonas was a little out of line, Kohler suddenly said the above words, which made Jonas a little unexpected, for the Alps, everyone has their own preconceived impression, he is so tall and majestic, so cruel and cold, no one in the world can cause him any harm, nor can he pass through his wide ridge 100% safely, and now, Kohler's words are obviously subverting Jonas's thoughts about the Alps, he can't help but let his body lean forward, looking at Kohler, he said:

"You're saying there's someone in Turin who can lead the army through that damn ice and deliver a fatal blow to those French?!" Jonas's tone was a little agitated, but it was within reasonable limits, after all, as long as Kohler's idea could succeed, it would inevitably make Petain feel threatened from Susa, and for this reason, he would have to send as many troops as possible to the Alpine Pass to prevent Jonas's sneak attack, which would be very useful for the front-line warfare, Jonas thought to himself, maybe this was really feasible.

"Yes, the people of Turine are born to climb mountains, and our army will surely be able to cross the Alps. Kohler said firmly, he had full confidence in the people of Turin, and Jonas was also encouraged by his faith, and after pondering for a while, he slammed his palm on the table, and he said to Kohler: "Okay, just do as you do, and arrange twelve squads, each of which has twenty knights and eighty soldiers, such a number, there is no problem." ”

"No problem. Kohler said, this is the configuration they will have when they hunt in the Alps, a trail passes through these people, and it will not be detected, Jonas's decision is undoubtedly wise, Jonas nodded, and continued: "That's good, remember to prepare their tools to keep them warm, although it is summer, but it is really cold in the mountains, you should have winter clothes for them, right?"

"Of course, our hunters need to go up to the mountains to hunt all year round, and winter clothes are a must-have, and they all have them. Kohler smiled, obviously amused by Jonas, the lord who lived in the Mediterranean, with his interesting thinking, but he quickly realized that his emotions were a little too superficial, and quickly put back the smile on his face, but Jonas didn't miss it at all, but he didn't say anything, as a lord living next to the Mediterranean, he really didn't know what it was like to wear winter clothes in summer, Kohler was right, he wasn't a genius, was he?

"Very well, then this matter will be left to you, there is only one task, and that is to draw Pétain's attention to our side while preserving our strength as much as possible, we have limited numbers, especially the number of knights, so there must be no mistakes, you know?"

"It is my duty to obey your orders, Your Excellency, and I will go and prepare everything. Kohler said solemnly, for Jonas did not pursue himself for laughing at him, Kohler was deeply grateful, if it was Karst who was present, he would definitely suffer a lot.

"Well, there you go. Jonas nodded and let Khloe go, as soon as Kohler went out, he happened to meet Bigg who was standing outside the door waiting, Khloe knew him, so he greeted him, and then left sideways, and Biger walked in and stood across from the desk.

"Bigg, how are the gentlemen arranged, is there any problem?"

Jonas saw that the person who came was Bigg, his whole body suddenly relaxed, no longer like a sculpture like he saw Kohler just now, at this time he was like a bad student in school, two ** forks were placed on the table, the whole person nested in the chair, like a paraplegic patient, one hand reached out to Big, and then pointed to the chair, motioning for him to sit down and talk.

Bigg sat down in his chair and said, "No problem, Jonas. ”

"That's good, come, this is a special wine from the Turin region, you drink a little. Jonas breathed a sigh of relief, these knights were mixed together, and obeyed his command, although Il granted him this right, but it really doubled his pressure, all Susa people know that anyone who is the head of the knight has the strength of a knight of the medal, Karst and Jung, without exception, even if it is Octo, he already has the strength of a knight who is close to the knight of the medal, this can be the head of the knight, this is not only a strength, but also a qualification, otherwise why should other knights obey your command？

Jonas is different, he is just the most ordinary knight, there is nothing stronger than others, and now, he wants to lead a thousand knights to victory, this is indeed a very crazy thing, Jonas is very worried that these knights will have people who disobey orders, after all, most of these knights are older than Jonas, not to mention the experience on the battlefield, they have killed more people than Jonas has ever seen, in front of them, giving orders, Jonas always feels a little ridiculous, he is a little unconfident in himself。

He sometimes thinks that he may really not be suitable to stand at the front, in the past, when he was in Gongke Zhenaya, he commanded others, and there was no pressure at all, because he knew that all the orders he gave would be recorded in the name of Jung, and whether he won or lost, it had nothing to do with him, so at that time, his orders were very decisive, and the final effect was also very good, and Genaya became their family's largest source of taxes.

And now, after he became the de facto nominal commander, Jonas always felt as if his brain was given something, and he was much sluggish, perhaps this is the effect of pressure, and recently he found himself more and more that he began to drink more and more, but he was always very clear mentally, and I don't know if it was because the wine in Turin was too light, or because his alcohol was getting higher and higher, he was not as calm as he appeared in the face of the current battle.

After Jonas finished speaking, before Bigg could respond, Jonas put the glass in front of Bigg, it was wine, Bigg could only take it in his hand, and he didn't drink it, he didn't really like to drink, and his obsession with knightly skills made him have little interest in everything that men should like, including drinking.

"Jonas, I think it would be better for us to send an army to the pass, the defense there is too weak, a thousand soldiers, they can't do anything, they need manpower. Bigg took the cup and said, as long as there is no one else, Jonas doesn't like his friends to call him Viscount or Your Excellency, he prefers others to call him by his name, which can make him feel that he is different from other viscounts, originally Bigg did not agree, and then under Jonas's correction again and again, he finally got used to it, but when he said Jonas's name, he would still call something noble, his whole body straightened, as if a soldier was being reviewed by an officer。

"Bigg, you're right, but I can't do that, the pass is too narrow, and there can only be a thousand people in there, and all I can do is send the knights up and take the soldiers down, and we can't do anything else. Jonas drank wine, holding a fork in his hand, and a stack of chilled fruits next to him, which tasted very good, and could relieve the heat, Jonas liked these things very much, he didn't expect Turin to have this kind of thing, and it was not distressing to eat other people's, so now Jonas can be said to have a fork in his hand.

"Then we can set up a reserve camp under the mountain pass and put some troops there, Turin is still too far from the mountain pass from the point of view of war, we should be closer, and we must be able to deal with some accidents as much as possible. Bigg said seriously, in the military, he is indeed very talented, Jonas nodded, and said: "You are very right, I think I will consider it, Franz will come later, you discuss with him, to confirm a station, is it okay?"

"Of course, Jonas, I'm glad you agreed with my offer. “

Bigg said excitedly, looking at the wine glass in his hand, Bigg drank him all in one gulp, as if he was drinking boiling water, only after drinking a violent cough proved that he was indeed drinking not grape juice, but wine with a certain strength, Jonas looked at him happily, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have some smiles, Big's world is quite simple, as long as he can fight and strengthen his strength, this is his happiest world, Jonas thought, maybe Bigg can live alone for a lifetime, he doesn't need a woman at all, doesn't he？

I really can't live like this. Jonas silently laughed at himself in his heart, he was really quite fragile compared to Bigg, watching Bigg leave the office, Jonas also stretched, put the cup where it belonged, and then left his office.

Sometimes, people still need to face reality, just like him, the commander, after all, he still has to meet his subordinates.
