Chapter 56 Meetings of the Accounts
"Sit down. Levi, your place is there. Erwin pointed to the right side of the table.
A large square wooden table sits in the center of the tent, and Hanji, Ian, Yarutor... There were already quite a few people seated, and Levi was the one who came late.
Levi's position was on Erwin's right-hand side, next to Hanji, with Ian and Erwin as commanders, sitting in the right position.
After Levi sat down, he waited for a few more minutes, and everyone arrived one after another, and there were about sixty people attending the meeting, plus the Survey Corps, a total of about six hundred people in groups of ten, and sitting in the tent was the leader of each team.
Today is the last meeting before entering the Wall of Mary, and the division and distribution of the teams will be reconfirmed, as well as the message of flares and whistles for multiplayer action.
When everyone arrived, Hannes handed out a form for everyone, on which the distribution of the teams was drawn.
"Now, then, let's go to the sixth operational meeting of Maria's plan to take it back."
Erwin knocked on the table, the light of the oil lamp illuminated the tent, and everyone remained silent.
"Starting tomorrow, we will have a big change in formation, please remember the team distribution map on the form."
"After arriving at the wall of Mary, we will start using the 'Gatling against the Giants', and tomorrow morning at six o'clock, the Survey Corps will observe the movements of the giants outside the wall, and the few giants near the wall will be removed by us with a three-dimensional motorized device, or guide them away."
"After securing the perimeter of the wall, the gates will be opened, and teams 1 to 5 will be transported, and you will be responsible for transporting the Gatling to the open area for the first phase of the giant clearance, and after the clearance is complete, we expect to start moving at ten o'clock in the morning."
"From tomorrow, the logistics team will be replaced in the center of the team, the formation will be changed from vertical to fan, and the mounted surveyors will be distributed on the periphery of the team, responsible for reconnaissance, and if they find giants, they will fire red flares."
"We have to make sure that there are at least three Gatlings in each direction, so the shooters and the Gatling transport team will be replaced in the second circle position of the team, and when they see the red flare, the team will immediately stop and prepare for the Gatling shooting, from the launch of the flare to the time when the giant enters the range of the Gatling, we will try to allow five to ten minutes to react."
"After confirming that the giant is cleared, a green flare will be fired, and when you see the green signal, you will move again."
Erwin hand-drew a rough flowchart on the whiteboard that Hanji had brought him.
"The distance from the Taurus region to the Higanshina region is one hundred and thirty kilometers."
"Start with the outer gate of the Taurus area and set up the first outpost, about every ten kilometers, we will build a sentry, leaving about thirty people and several Gatlings as defense at each outpost, and a total of fifteen outposts will be established as a battle line against the giants."
"Supplies and subsequent Gatling will be transported from the Taurus region, and the people from each outpost will be responsible for transporting them to the next outpost, in addition to our first five hundred people, the follow-up garrison corps and the support of the Ian Chamber of Commerce will continue to join the battle line against the giants and clear the giants in the walls of Maria."
"As for the advance troops, about eighty men will be left behind in the end to carry out the giant clearing work and wall repair in the Higanshina area."
"That's the general process of the plan, the details, we have discussed in the previous meeting, if you have any doubts, you can put them forward now."
Erwin stood directly in front of the table, watching the others.
Someone raised his hand: "Captain, I want to ask, what if I meet a strange species." ”
"That's exactly what I'm going to say next." Erwin turned to face the people behind him: "Except for the people of the Survey Corps, those who have really seen giants, please raise your right hand." ”
The crowd looked at each other, and at last a few people raised their hands, who had seen giants from afar when the walls of Mary were broken.
"Please put your hands down." Erwin said, "Obviously, you don't know much about giants. ”
"However, I can't be called very professional about giants, so next, I will be explained by the giant expert, Captain Hanji."
Erwin moved out of the way, nodded, and motioned for Hanji to step forward.
"Hello everyone, I'm Hanji." Hanji smiled and beckoned: "I won't say anything superfluous, ordinary giants will never pose a threat to us under the shooting of the 'Giant Gatling', but the strange species, that is a very special giant." ”
"The reason why it distinguishes the strange species from other children is that the strange species will show special characteristics that distinguish them from ordinary giants, for example, they may swim, they may climb trees, and even when they face humans, they will behave like thinking, and they will act based on their current form, and their next move cannot be judged by simple patterns."
"In a word, the threat level of the strange species is greater than that of ordinary giants, but fortunately, they are few in number and do not appear too often."
"On the plains, we don't have to worry too much about the Strange Species, the plains have a wide field of vision, we can find the Strange Species from a long distance, and then we only need to add three to five idle Gatling Guns as a firepower supplement, unless the giant grows wings and flies, it is impossible to pose a threat."
"The problem is in the hilly terrain and the forest." Hanji exhaled, "It's possible that the Strange Species is hiding in a blind spot in the field of vision and suddenly attacking us, and it will be very troublesome to be approached when Gatling is not erected. ”
"In response to this, we will make our secret weapon public."
Hanji looked at Hannes, who nodded, left the tent, and brought Eren in.
"His name is Alan Yeyer." Hanji pulled Alan and introduced: "He is the secret weapon of the government's experiments, a human who can turn into giants, that is, he is our partner." ”
"Alan Yeager can become a fifteen-meter-tall giant, speed and strength, among all giants, it is the best, if he encounters a strange species in a narrow field of vision, he will turn into a giant to suppress, leaving us time to set up a Gatling gun."
"Hi, I'm Alan Yeager everyone." Alan bowed slightly.
Allen's hands were clenched into fists, and there was a blazing fire in his eyes.
Finally, the day has come!
Fight, fight, fight!!
I'm going to banish all the giants!
