Chapter 107: The Story of the Eagle in the North and the South 13

General Garcia summoned.

This is an order my father received. Cesar was silent and patted my father on the shoulder: "Do it yourself."

At this time, my father was still thinking about what Marion had just said. Aoi left home abruptly some time ago, leaving a note saying that she was going to join the navy. Marion had no idea what her daughter was thinking. After my father joined the Navy, he occasionally wrote a few letters to Marion, and in the last letter, my father said that he was on the front line spying on the Salanders. Marion said to Aoi, "This young man has a lot of promise, maybe one day we will hear about his reputation."

Aoi left home soon after. Later, Marion inquired about Aoi's whereabouts after she left home, and found that Aoi had purchased a suitsuit a few months earlier, and finally took two crossbows from home. Aoi signed up for the army at the naval fortress in Djerkhara, and due to her outstanding archery, Aoi was selected for the naval landing force.

Sabo Marion went mad with rage, and he lashed out at the recruiting officer after Jerkhara investigated the application file left by Aoi under the alias 'Little Marion'.

"Don't you see any difference in my child?" Marion asked, shaking the fat officer's shoulder.

The drunken recruiter looked at Marion with cloudy eyes, "That kid, I want to think about it." It's just that the body is thinner. In the selection process, he performed well, ordinary people still need to train for a period of time before they can join the archer army, that kid is directly shortlisted, this is the work of the glorious ancestors, your child is a great luck. The only strange thing about that kid was that he didn't want to eat and bathe with his teammates, and he was a little withdrawn. After the war, you have to take him out for a walk, it's like this when he's young, and he may not be able to speak when he's old", the officer was pestered by Marion for a long time, and he was already impatient, he checked the wine bottle, and when he found that there was no wine, he threw the wine bottle into the hat of his cloak, and staggered out the door to find wine.

After Marion learned that Aoi had left for the front, he had to wait in Djerkhara for a while. Soon after General Garcia's troops arrived in Djerkhara, Marion and his colleagues boarded the ship with General Garcia and headed for Gamich Bay.

My father did sense something was wrong, and he sensed the familiar smell when he ambushed the Salanders at the Battle of Garmic. Now that I think about it, if nothing goes wrong, my father had Aoi in the army that was ambushed at Mill Hill with General Stellant. My father told Saab Marion the news, and Marion immediately got up and went to look for the naval barracks.

It was at this time that Garcia summoned my father to go for a 'little talk.'

As my father walked through the staff officers and soldiers in the headquarters to Garcia's room, he straightened his clothes one last time, and then knocked nervously on the door. A voice from inside said, "Come in."

My father pushed the door open and walked in, and found Garcia sitting at the table, while some of the general's staff officers were arguing with a red-faced man who was holding a compass and drawing lines on a cowhide map on the table, looking at the Rhodok staff officers with disdain.

"In my many years of experience with Sabel, there are very few people as stupid as you. Listen, what you don't dare to think about is often the perfect opportunity. At this time, Sabel saw Arcadio, a naval officer standing in the doorway, "Well, my dear student, Tribune - Arcadio II!" Come on, come on, come over here, come and tell these people for themselves the fact that they are all stupid, although they refuse to admit it. ”

Several staff officers shouted in dissatisfaction and turned to look at General Garcia, hoping for support. But Garcia didn't seem to want to meddle in the argument between the staff officers at all, just looked at the visitor at the door and said, "Close the door, and then you go and listen to your teacher's opinion."

My father later learned that after Sabel entered the war in Rhodok, he ran to General Garcia and joined the general's staff. This was the beginning of the nightmare for General Garcia's staff officers.

At this time, my father was about to explain to General Garcia about the unauthorized attack some time ago, but Garcia didn't seem to care about it, and just asked my father to join the discussion.

"That's right," said Sabel, "you see, I met a guy named Sabo Marion on the ship, and you must know this guy, and he actually met the goblin who forgot his friends in Veruga, well, let's not talk about that. You see, I found some insight in his conversation, and I was intrigued by his wealth of geography and engineering. From him I learned an interesting situation, come, you come and see here. Where is this? ”

My father followed Sabel's hand and saw that it was Fort Garmic, "Garmic?" ”

"Yes, Gamage, what does it mean that we have all gathered at Fort Amera now, I think you know that we are definitely not here for sightseeing, and even if we are here for sightseeing, it is to go to Fort Garmage for sightseeing. I've heard Sabo Marion say that the castle was built three hundred years ago during the Great Reclamation, the people of that era were known for their meticulousness, and the earliest role of the fort was to prevent the invasion of the desert barbarians at that time, the castle was built with tall and strong walls, three inner cities and two separate fortresses. If you attack it from the front, it will not be possible to conquer it unless the castle is completely cut off from the outside world and the soldiers are severely reduced. I have estimated that the Salanders only need a thousand men to keep more than 5,000 soldiers out of the castle. And Fort Garmici is close to the coastline, once Garmici changes, the Salanders will be able to support Fort Garmici from the sea, we temporarily believe that General Enor has the ability to clear the Salanders from the coastline, but even so, the Salanders already have an army of 1,200 people in Garmic, I don't doubt General Garcia's ability, but if you choose to attack head-on, then even if you win, it will be a miserable victory, and there will be a lack of sufficient forces to deal with the counterattack of the Salanders"

"Well, now let's take a look at this side, the Garmic Mountains. See? The top of this mountain range is covered with snow all year round and is inaccessible to people, and it is difficult for even mountain goats to get through the cliffs. So the builders of Fort Gammage did not take into account the alien enemy in this direction when designing the castle, and those people regarded the mountain as the rightful 'fourth' wall of Fort Gammage. Think, then, that if three hundred soldiers were to come from the western part of the mountain range, which is this place", Sabel pointed a point on the map with a red pen, completely ignoring the objections of several staff officers, "climb the snow-capped mountain, and then go all the way around the ridge to reach the rear of Garmici Castle, and then when the attention of the Salanders is all on the front, a group of enemy soldiers suddenly rush out from behind and take advantage of the chaos to open the city gates, then the recovery of Garmici Fort will be a matter of day."

Sabel looked at my father smugly, "How's it going, boy?" ”

At this time, a staff officer who had not spoken all this time raised his hand to signal that he had something to say, and General Garcia slightly parted the fingers of his hands that were put together, signaling the staff officer to be casual.

The staff officer cleared his throat, "As far as I know, this tactic that Mr. Sabel said has been used in history, but the losers are overwhelming. First of all, there is no ready-made road all the way from the backbone of the Kamich Snow Mountain, only a few abandoned watchtower fortresses in a few mountain passes, and these hundreds of soldiers are likely to get lost once they climb the snowy mountain; Secondly, there is no other material on the snowy mountain except fresh water, and as far as I know, the movement in the snowy mountain is extremely difficult and slow, and the soldiers can only carry three days' dry rations, and within three days they have to go around to the back of the fort of Garmic, and organize an attack, and then conquer the city gate, whether this is feasible is a great question; Finally, if we are convinced of our own wisdom, we should not doubt the wisdom of the ancients. The builders of Kamage Fort would not have been able to expose their backs to the ridge without careful consideration. These gifted architects were relieved to do so precisely because a goat had walked down this near-vertical ridge for hundreds of years. What if our soldiers could trek to the back of the Jamici Mountains and look down on the whole of Jamici Fort? They can't get down at all! With so many dangerous links, and a mistake in any one of them could cost hundreds of soldiers' lives, is it really necessary to take this risk? I'm really skeptical."

"So what are you going to do?" Sabel asked.

"Uh, besiege Garmici Fort, and then organize sappers to dig tunnels, use the land collapse to damage the city walls, and force the Garmici defenders out of the city for a decisive battle..."

Before the staff officer could finish speaking, he was called a 'stupid' by Sabel with extreme impatience. The staff officer shouted "Please give us the necessary respect", and the scene once again got out of control.

Admiral Garcia coughed lightly, "Let's hear the opinion of this young naval officer."

My father's identity was the most awkward among those present: for Sabel, my father was his unproductive student; To Garcia, my father was a rookie egg; For Army staff officers, my father was from the Navy side.

But only this identity has nothing to do with everyone, so it may be more objective for him to talk about it.

"Uh'''I think that since Mr. Saabmarion says he knows the situation in this place, he might as well let him evaluate the plan." , my father said, scratching his head.

Sabel thought to himself, this student is really not angry, and he actually does not speak for the teacher;

Garcia thought to himself, a recruit's egg is a recruit's egg, and his decisive style is still not enough;

The staff officers thought to themselves that the people in the Navy should shut up and not interfere in things that should not be interfered with.

Several groups of people were a little dissatisfied, Garcia thought about the thoughts of the people around him a little, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Stupid, it's really not easy to offend three groups of people at the same time with one sentence."

However, this plan really needed Sabo Marion's opinion, and Garcia immediately sent a herald to find Marion. My father told the herald that Marion might be around the Navy barracks.

Half an hour later, Marion was taken to the headquarters, and my father looked at Marion to ask how he was looking, and Marion shook his head.

Sabel then gave Marion a warm hug, a little over-the-top, and then told Marion about his thoughts on the surprise attack on Garmic in the name of an old friend.

Marion's eyes widened in shock, "Impossible, there can't be so many people there at the same time." I walked through here when I was younger, and in the end we had to kill all the hounds to eat to survive. There are almost no trees on the snowy mountains, there is no way to keep warm, and it is so cold that if you stop moving for a while, you will freeze. It was very windy at night, and it was dangerous to slip down the mountain at any time. From here, a surprise attack on Fort Garmic is an idea that only a madman would have."

Several of the staff officers smiled knowingly, Sabel frowned, General Garcia was noncommittal, and my father was a little embarrassed.

"But," says Marion, "there is indeed an abandoned mountain road that was built hundreds of years ago. If you can still walk now, the effect of the surprise attack should be very good. ”

Sabel's eyes lit up, "Where's that road?" ”

Marion recalls the path he had taken as a young man to explore the frontier, and then marked it on the map. The staff officers felt that the situation was not right, so they had to finally take Sabel's army: "Even if there is a way, it is indeed possible to reach the back of Garmic, which general would willingly risk his death?" Nine times out of ten, there is no way back to take this road, and even if the military order is like a mountain, it will be rejected by the officer. I swear that some officers will not agree to take someone to climb a snowy mountain, even if they are court-martialed. If you can't solve this selection problem, everything will be in vain. ”

The father listened to the conversation with great interest, and thought it was quite interesting, it seems that Sabel is in trouble again, so how will Sabel get out? Father had a feeling of waiting and seeing. Suddenly, the father was shocked to notice that Sabel, Sabo Marion, and the key to General Garcia, were all looking at the dinar with the eyes of a profiteer:

Gently, look at him.
