"What's wrong with the intelligence?"

"I don't know, the image sent back by the first echelon 'Black Panther' from the scene shows that the raid site 'Castle' is not a command organization, but a cemetery!"

"What the hell is the Air Force doing?!Where are the eyes?!What are the guys who are studying the photos doing?!What are the guys who are studying the photos doing?!They should all send those salary thieves to court-martial!"

"The 'Iron Fist' echelon is about to arrive at the target area, will the 'Attacker' echelon continue to attack?"

"Who is responsible for making it like this!!"

The originally orderly battle headquarters has now become a vegetable market, and a bunch of colonels and lieutenants with staff officers waving their fists and spitting saliva like shrews and vegetable vendors, if it weren't for the fact that this guy was still wearing the uniform of the defense forces, it could almost be seen as a gang street brawl.

To be honest, we can't blame the staff officers for being too ugly, because in order to ensure the operation, a lot of preparations have been done, and a group of elites have been mobilized. In the end, it was messed up because of intelligence errors, no department or branch of the military could afford to carry such a big pot, and the spit of the front-line officers and the General Staff alone could drown a bunch of staff officers, as for the rest...... Just thinking about it makes the little staff officers tremble.

In several aerial reconnaissance operations before the operation, the Air Force dispatched specially modified reconnaissance planes to conduct long-distance sideways aerial photography, in an effort to obtain the latest information on the premise of avoiding alarming the target. From the large number of photographs brought back by the reconnaissance plane, the map readers analyzed and identified in detail the location of important facilities such as positions, checkpoints, and warehouses in and around the town. But the map readers were still unable to find out the location of the partisan headquarters. However, there are three salvo gun positions scattered around one building, and from this point of view, this place is of great importance, otherwise it would not be blocked by precious salvo guns, so it can be inferred that this place should be the location of the guerrilla headquarters, and this "important facility" has been identified as the main assault point of the airborne. In addition, there is a building at an intersection in the west of the city that is equipped with something suspected to be an antenna, and the analysis indicates that it may be a communication station of the headquarters, so it is designated as the second assault point.

According to aerial photographic intelligence, in the final draft of the raid plan, the "important target" suspected of being the guerrilla command was given the code name "Castle", and the first echelon of the airborne force codenamed "Panther" will be responsible for attacking it, and if the "Panther" echelon fails to seize the "Castle" as scheduled, the seventh echelon "Rot", the eighth echelon "Grun", and the ninth echelon "Blau", which originally planned to seize the three pass communication arteries, should immediately abandon their original tasks and concentrate their forces to attack Once successful, the troops began to hold their ground, waiting to join up with the forces that had launched a centripetal assault.

From the above plan, it is not difficult to see that the 500th Special Technical Battalion focused its attack on the "castle", and they were completely ignorant of whether this judgment was correct or whether there were other hiding places around the town.

So the elves confidently threw a punch that had been gathering momentum for a long time, and as a result, this iron fist punched into the cotton ...... Uh, even worse, straight into the air. When the news came that the "Panther" echelon had successfully landed and launched a strike on the enemy troops, the morale of the entire command headquarters was immediately boosted, and some young staff officers even burst into cheers. But the picture that came back from the scene changed the cheerful atmosphere, when the entire "Black Panther" echelon had already rushed into the "castle", but what appeared on the picture was not the fortress imagined by the staff officers, but only a cemetery built on the slope. There were indeed a few salvo guns around the cemetery, with the barrels held high and pointed high into the night sky, but not a single gunner was found, and it was clear that this was not an important location at all.

The command center exploded on the spot, because at the moment when it was announced that the "Panther" echelon had successfully suppressed the "castle", according to the original plan, the second echelon "Panzerfaust" had already risen into the air, and the third echelon "Greifer" began to prepare for ejection, and there was a large group of "legions" waiting for follow-up.

A few staff officers who were almost stupid were the first to attack, and then the departments of the various services quickly followed up, and the rigorous and meticulous operations center suddenly became a meeting to shake the pot and a contest of abuse, and a few of the more short-tempered staff officers had already begun to roll up their sleeves, while the less sober-minded staff officers were busy discussing whether or not to urgently call off the entire battle plan.

Seeing that a good combat command center was about to become a stage for a farce, Caspar decisively smashed the water glass out.

There was a crisp snap, the glass shattered bones, and the pure snow-capped mountain mineral water splashed to the ground.

"Silence, gentlemen. ”

Caspar's voice wasn't high-pitched, but it was powerful enough to calm his brain, and with his status as the Emperor's plenipotentiary, the command center was silent.

"Second Lieutenant Renard. ”

Turning his cold gaze to the telecommunications specialist stationed at the command center of the Brandenburg troops, the young ensign, with his well-groomed silver hair, immediately pressed his heels together and replied in a loud voice.

"Yes, sir!"

"Is there still a radio signal coming from the town of Bonabo?"

"Yes, the last message was sent fifteen minutes ago, and the radio reconnaissance detachments sent to the front to accompany the troops confirmed the signal of a specific band at the same time, and according to the triangulation, we are very sure that the point of transmission is in Bonavo. ”

"Can you pinpoint the exact location?"

"It's hard, sir. If we had someone on site, we could narrow the error range to within 50 meters in diameter, and if we measured from a distance, we could only confirm the approximate coordinates. ”

"So, can you be sure that signal is the one you've been tracking all these days?"

"Xia Guan is very sure. Except for the bands registered for use by our military and government agencies, there is only one signal that uses that band. ”

"Is it possible to use another radio transmitter to deliberately transmit and receive in the same band, inducing us to mislocate the possibility?"

Ensign Renard froze for the first time, and after a full ten seconds of silence, he shook his head firmly.

"Technically, there is such a possibility, but the partisans do not have the ability to do so. The spare parts and equipment of the radio were the first class of controlled products within the territory of the Empire, and were only equipped with the Embassies and Consulates of the Empire outside the Empire. It is difficult to imagine that a foreign power would provide such support, and that the guerrillas, who lack the necessary equipment, could not have used their precious radio stations to do such a foolish move. ”

"Good, I see. ”

Caspar flipped his hand and motioned for Ensign Renard to take his seat again.

Taking a deep breath, the voice of resoluteness resounded through the combat command center.

"The war continues, and in accordance with the special operations regulations and the powers granted by His Majesty the Emperor, special adjustments are hereby made to guide the 'vaulting' operation! From now on, the communication system will be put under special control, and all those who are judged to be engaged in rebellion using the communication system, including relatives, will be arrested and interrogated as a test for a new type of confession! This is based on the authority officially granted by imperial law! In case of emergency, they can be shot on the spot!"

In response to Caspar's murderous declaration, a group of black-uniformed Guards and dog-tagged gendarmes hurried into the command center, their machine-cold soldiers quickly standing behind the communicator, the cacophony of bolts echoing through the room.

As the Emperor's plenipotentiary, Caspar was theoretically just a recording machine, providing the Emperor with fast and accurate first-hand on-the-spot reports. Not to mention interfering with on-site command, even mixing personal feelings and subjective judgments in the report to the emperor is not allowed.

There are exceptions, though.

Although the relationship between the various branches of the defense force is not as life-and-death as Charlemagne's, the army and navy, it is definitely not harmonious, after all, the competition for the budget every fiscal year alone is like a gang fighting in the streets, and there is no need to mention other accumulated contradictions. The cross-service joint operation was carried out by the elite forces of various units, and those guys who could become the leaders in the army were undoubtedly the elite of the elite, and each of them had their own style of acting and handling things. Fortunately, the Defence Force has the best obedience in the world's armies, and as long as there is a clear order from above, the executor will find a way to complete it anyway. But when it comes to some ambiguous or complicated situations, these guys often try to find ways to take advantage of loopholes. If you put together such a group of unruly guys again, don't think about doing anything serious until these guys who don't like each other and don't like each other quarrel about being ugly.

At such times, it is necessary to have a superior who can calm the scene to stop the chaos. This is also the reason why the top level of the army's field command organization adopts a two-horse leadership mechanism of the commander and the chief of staff -- the chief of staff and the staff team are responsible for the "rough work" such as making suggestions, and the commander is responsible for the role of the elder, who has the prestige, can calm the scene, and ensures the success of the operation.

After the "special guidance authority" is activated, the person who has been given the authority can directly issue orders to the campaign command headquarters without waiting for the intermediate process of receiving the report, understanding the situation, making judgments, issuing and transmitting orders to the higher-level command organs, and make adjustments to the on-site command as quickly as possible.

It can be said that this is a blank check that allows unlimited overdrafts only once, and the emperor's envoys can fill in the amount on it as long as they wish.

However, just as the money used for overdraft must be repaid eventually, and there is also a high interest rate attached to it. The use of "special guidance powers" also carries corresponding risks, such as abuse of power and being hated by colleagues, for example, after the use of "special guidance powers" leads to defeat in battle, the punishment for reviewing the liquidation responsibility after the war will be more severe, such as being impeached for "abusing the power granted by His Majesty the Emperor", and so on. If you don't get it right, you won't be able to die and there will be no place to bury.

Even with this, Caspar did not hesitate to activate the extremely sharp double-edged sword of "special guidance".

Indeed, he had ambitions for his career, and he did not like to put on an official show to ruin his relationship with his colleagues, and he did not want to be labeled a "courtier who abused his power" - a great insult to him as a pure warrior.

But before that, he was the emperor's personal guard, and loyalty to the emperor and the empire was the highest priority. Everything else is just a minutiae.

"The battle continues! Order the 'Iron Fist' echelon and the 'Black Panther' echelon to merge and immediately launch a sweep of the town of Bonavo, clear the town of all non-friendly objects, and at the same time go all out to search for targets! The air force's reconnaissance planes on standby also immediately went to the scene, in addition to buildings, but also searched the surrounding mountains, and immediately called for support as soon as traces of human activity were found! Finally, the ejection of the third echelon 'Greifer' was suspended, and the fourth echelon 'Stuemer' and the fifth echelon were ejected first. Circuit breaker (Brecher), the 'Attacker' echelon and the sixth echelon 'Beisser' strike together!"

As Caspar's orders were recited and conveyed, a whole hell fell on the head of the town of Bonavo.
