Chapter 428: Can I Trust You?】

With a stomach full of questions, the generals under his command left one by one, and even Reinhardt was no exception. Green stayed at the end, and he looked at Char: "You'd better have a good enough reason! Attacking Manninger in winter is a risky act, maybe even a suicide!" "Of course I have a reason. Char nodded, his expression was slightly relaxed, and he looked at Green, and Char's eyes were also a little grateful: "Thank you for scratching - you didn't oppose me in public." ”

Green was expressionless: "You are the commander of the whole army, and I have the responsibility and obligation to maintain your authority in front of the generals." Now, tell me, Char, what the hell are you crazy about!"

Char exhaled and looked at Green, his eyes struggling slightly, but soon, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, and shook his head slowly but resolutely: "I'm sorry, Green" I appreciate your cooperation just now, but now I can't tell you a day or two later, before I go on the expedition, I will tell you now...... Carry out the order, General Greene. At the end, Char's tone even brought out a bit of solemnity and sternness. Green walked out gritting his teeth.

Xia Yacai finally sat on the ground, his whole body was sore, but he still took a breath="Someone came to ask General Nene to come over and say that I have something to discuss with her."

Within Char's small group, among all the generals and groups, from the first day of the formation of this group, Nene was an extremely special existence.

First of all, she is Char's earliest team, she brought Char's 2,000 horse thieves who took refuge, the quality is high, no less than the regular elite cavalry of the empire, the 2,000 horse thief cavalry in the early days of Char's small set, Char's most relied on force, and it is also the most powerful force for Char to subdue the remnants of the 6th and 7th Corps in the early days. It can be said that from this point of view, Nene is a core veteran member of Char's emerging military group.

The second peculiarity is that the officers and generals who are basically higher-ranking in the army know more or less that the relationship between this sturdy fierce woman and the coach Char seems to be a little wrong. This can be fully illustrated by the unscrupulous horse thieves who unscrupulously call Char "uncle".

A core veteran of Char's military group, the leader of Char's old army, and also has some ambiguous and strange relationships with the boss...... All this is enough to form the special status of None.

She was in Char's army, although her position was not high, after Green, Sharba, Cato and other members of Char's old team, and even below some senior officers who later joined Concubine Inhardt and the Sixth and Seventh Corps, but no one really dared to show the slightest contempt for this Miss Nene!

Because someone once saw with their own eyes that on the training ground, this sturdy Miss Nene with her bare hands, the recognized fierce general among the generals, Sharpa, was overturned seven or eight times, so that Sharpa ran around as soon as he saw Nene thereafter.

Not only did the people below show enough respect for Nenei, but even Char, who was the head coach, also treated Nene with special preferential treatment, and basically would not make any restraints on Nenei, even if it was the iron-faced and selfless Green, he also looked at Nene differently After all, Nene brought two thousand horse thieves and cavalry who surrendered, which created Char's situation today.

The only thing that is a little unsettling is that since Char-sama's marriage was announced, the Nene-sama has not entered Denzel Castle again, and she spends most of her time living in a military camp outside the city.

The large battalion of the First Corps was established outside the city, and the barracks of the cavalry were established separately, the remnants of the original Rhodria cavalry, as well as the horse thief cavalry inside, after reorganization, were all organized in the First Corps to form an independent cavalry regiment.

The commander of this cavalry regiment is the core team of Sharpa-Yichar, an old comrade-in-arms who used to be in the Rhodrian cavalry, a former personal guard of General Adric, and the innocent Rhodrian cavalry, which is enough to convince the remnants of those Rhodrian cavalry. What's more, Sharpa himself is also a brave man, a strong figure, brute force, superior force, and one of Char's oldest comrades-in-arms, everyone from top to bottom is convinced of his loyalty to Char, and he will serve as the commander of this cavalry, which can be said to be internal and external, and no one opposes it.

Nene, on the other hand, held a special position in this independent cavalry regiment: a seemingly inconspicuous flag officer. Nene almost never went into the city, and even the previous military meetings, she was mostly absent.

Today, when Char sent someone outside the city to summon Nene, even the soldiers who sent the herald felt strange.

Nene didn't make trouble for Char, and after receiving Char's order, in just two quarters of an hour, Pegasus entered the city and came to the garrison. It was a meeting that looked very formal and official, and the subordinates met with the chief.

Nene followed the rules, came to the garrison mansion, first let people report, and then reported his identity with his official position and habit, and met with Char in a way that could hardly be faulted...... Or "Your Excellency the Flag Officer of the Inner Flag Bearer asks to see Marshal Char Leiming"0

The sound of steady and powerful footsteps, the sound of leather boots rubbing against the owl, when Nene strode in, he held a cavalry general-style helmet on his chest with one hand, came in with his head held high, his eyes did not squint, he just stared at Char's eyes faintly, and walked in front of Char, her legs were together, her body suddenly straightened, and she gave a loud military salute, and then looked at Char with an indifferent look: "The flag officer of the Independent Cavalry Regiment of the First Corps has seen Lord Marshal." Char looked at Nene in front of her.

I haven't seen this woman for some days, she looks like her cheeks are a little thinner, and she looks like she is full of weather, obviously this woman has tormented herself a lot these days, and most of the time she has gone out with the cavalry to train frantically. Although it is winter, her summer tanned skin does not seem to have fully recovered, and the whole person looks a little dark and thin, but her eyes are very bright, a sharp brightness!

Char felt a little guilty in her heart, looked at Nene, and after a while, Char opened her lips: "Nene, now, I need your help." Nene didn't speak, still looking at Char levelly.

"I know that time is too short, and it has not yet reached the time I once promised you to prepare. I also know you still have a lot of questions, but ...... I have to tell you with regret that we have no time! I don't have any more time for a day! I need to use that power in your hands...... I can't even be sure that now is the best time not to move around and use them. But I have no choice, I have to win this next war, if I can't win, then our people, my people, my men, my men, my colleagues, many, many people will die, many, many people will face a tragic end......! I know that there are still some knots between us that are not fully untied, but now ...... I need to let go of these things for the time being, I need the power in your hands!" Char's voice was sincere.

Nene raised her eyebrows slightly, and she finally spoke, her tone still very indifferent: "What do I need to do?"

"I only have two days, your men must be all prepared, you will face a battle" This will be the hardest, most difficult, and most important battle in this war! All the hopes of victory and defeat are pinned on you, and if you fail, the whole army will collapse, and the whole situation will collapse...... My life for many, many people is entrusted to you. Char said this, his tone was a little softer, he stared at Nene: "Nene, can I trust you?" Nene lowered his head, as if thinking for a moment, then looked up at Char and asked, "I need an extra special military fee, my people are too hard, they need to pay a settling-in allowance." "Yes, you can go directly to Cato to get it, and I'll give you a warrant. "There's still a portion of the armor that doesn't meet our requirements, and I'm missing at least a hundred sets of that special ......" "Cato will send it to your camp by tomorrow morning at the latest." Char still made a promise without hesitation.

"Before I go, I ask for a supply of the best fodder, and I need a warrant from you, my men do not accept the moderation of Sharba, and I have the power to make decisions on the battlefield alone. ”

Char still said quickly: "I naturally understand that the power was handed over to you by my own hands, Nene, I trust you! The two glanced at each other, and this time their eyes still seemed to be a little distant.

Denzel and outside the city fell into chaos with Char's return and the emergency preparation order. It was already the end of the year, and it was the time of winter, and although everyone was a little nervous because it was a time of war, after all, the city of Denzel had not seen war for several months, so the people in the city had begun to get used to this kind of tranquility.

However, after the order to reorganize the armament was issued, the whole city was caught in the middle of chickens and dogs.

The officials were busy counting the treasury and filling the military treasury with the last batch of grain paid for the winter, which had been stored for next spring. But now, all the supplies are being replenished by the military warehouses on a priority basis.

The chief of logistics, Cato, immediately became the busiest man in the city, he was responsible for receiving and counting the food delivered, and was responsible for sending the food to each of the drought brigades, and Char gave a clear order to carry the military rations in thirty-day base units. The logistics department also had to be responsible for recruiting the people and mobilizing auxiliaries to form a logistics quartermaster detachment to supplement the various armies.

In addition, there is a large number of replenishments of ordnance, which are insufficient, damaged, and in short training...... Cato didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights, and like all the officers in his quartermaster's office, everyone was red like rabbit eyes.

For two days and two nights in a row, Cato was already shouting in the logistics camp to direct the transportation and distribution, and now he said it like a male duck with a cold.

He almost whipped the officers and men of the Quartermaster Department desperately, and in two days he had to send all the shortages to all the troops, and this task was simply ...... Inhumanity!

In the end, Cato even let out his hometown deer and son, and after getting Char's permission, he forcibly used a part of the civilian food reserves, which reluctantly filled the shortage of military food holes.

Everyone knows that wartime is different from peacetime, and in the event of war, the cost of food will be at least 30% higher than in peacetime. The soldiers fought desperately and shed blood and sweat, and the food consumed would be more than usual.

These are not the ones that make Cato crazy, the most crazy thing for him is the distribution of the war horse's Marko...... Char's family foundation is still too thin, and Cato demolished the east wall to make up the west wall before, barely maintaining this shelf. In peacetime, everyone can barely survive this winter. But once the war is fought, all the problems are exposed.

The civilian grain reserves were almost emptied by Cato, although the officials of the county government looked at Ka with a sad face, "! Yang: If we do this, I am afraid that there will be a situation of starvation to death next spring! Angry hunger tore these officials apart!" Char's territory, to this day, is still undergoing a wartime supply system. There were even officials who ran to see Char and complained in front of Char.

Char's answer was only one: "Will people starve to death next year?" I just tell you, if we don't win this battle in winter, then we won't starve to death next winter...... Yes, we will not starve!We will all die under the butcher's knife of the enemy!!To win this war, we will naturally be able to bring back their food from the treasury of Odin!!Otherwise, we will be dead!" The two chaotic days passed in the blink of an eye.

Char's First Corps, despite all its best efforts, could not prepare all of them in just two days. In the end, under Green's compromise, he just gave priority to concentrating all the materials in the two main flag regiments, and then let the two main flag regiments with complete supplies go out first.

Just the night before, the pre-war military meeting had finally been held, and Green had finally gotten an answer from Char. And the content of this military discussion is so simple that it can even be said to be extremely hasty!

There was no thoughtful battle plan, not even the level and band of the army's advance, no detours, not even a little trick. A whole so-called battle plan can even be said to be a simple marching order.

In this overly rudimentary battle plan, it was only a thick line drawn with a charcoal pen between the capital cities of the two districts of Mor and Siltan on a map, and then a few lines were written underneath: "Follow the direction of the city of Denzel to the south, along this straight line, the army will drive straight over, press and push over!"
