"Mr. Planck, I have to tell you, Although your troops have just arrived in Rhodes Town, But in the next war, your Fire Infantry Division will take on an extremely important responsibility. Governor Teglas and I will fully respect your opinion. If you agree, the Fire Infantry Division will be the first to enter Dark Town and you will be our vanguard. I wonder if you are willing to accept this mission? "
On the third floor of the hotel in Rhodes Town, in the hotel's only suite, Teglas and Scana sat side by side, opposite them was Colonel Planck, the division commander of the Fire Infantry Division.
Before the arrival of the Flame Infantry Division, Scana had already assigned tasks to all the troops, including the Flame Infantry Division. From the beginning, Scana had been the vanguard of the Flame Infantry Division. Now, he had called Planck over alone to ask for his opinion.
"I agree."
Planck replied without hesitation. Although his Fire Infantry Division was only a downstream unit of the regular U.S. Forces, However, this did not mean that Planck himself was an idiot. His military contributions were no less than ordinary generals, and he could not advance. It was just that he did not have enough connections behind him. Now that he had a chance to get in close contact with Admiral Scana and Governor Teglas, Planck naturally would not give up.
Rumors are rife that Yurisses and Dabinett are going all out to crush Howington, Judging from their movements and the rumors released by the media, Such rumours are not nonsense, But Colonel Planck had his own ideas, In his opinion, The two giants are sure to crush the Howington Group, but it will never completely destroy this political group, Huo Wenton Group would eventually stay behind. At most, his strength would shrink. It was just a change of name. Now that the group was in turmoil, he had to seize every opportunity to show his loyalty. Now was the best opportunity. As long as the group survived, what awaited him would be to ascend to the heavens one step at a time.
Therefore, there was no reason for him to reject Scana's orders. Not to mention Scana only allowed his Fire Infantry Division to be the vanguard, even if he allowed his Fire Infantry Division to be the death squad, he would forcibly agree.
Moreover, he couldn't refuse. Although Scana was saying that he fully respected his opinion, if he really didn't know how to refuse, it would probably be useless besides suffering. Since that was the case, it would be better to take this opportunity to show his loyalty and be more practical.
"Very good, Commander Planck. We will remember your loyalty and dedication. After the war is won, everyone will remember everything about the Fire Infantry Division."
Scana and Teglas exchanged a glance, then nodded in satisfaction, a warm smile on their faces.
"It's the honor of the Fire Infantry Division to charge into battle for the Admiral and the Governor, but..."
Planck said hesitantly.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Everyone is one of us. There is no need to worry too much."
Scana raised his eyebrows and said indifferently.
"Yes, General."
Planck subconsciously sat up straight. He carefully said, "That's true, From my personal point of view, I'm willing to do anything for the Howington Group, But the general, You should know that, Most of the time, I have to consider what my troops think of me and how much they support me, My troops came all the way from New Silver Nation, Along the way, '"I've hardly had a good rest. Now that I'm here, I've only rested for a short period of time before being sent out as a vanguard. I'm afraid that the ordinary soldiers of my army will have ideas. If the soldiers change, I'm afraid that in this situation, there will be even greater disturbances. Therefore, I have to have a reason to convince my soldiers."
Tigeras's expression changed slightly.
Planck meant, He knew very well that, It should be said that the colonel and division commander were indeed thinking about this war, He and Scana knew that, Planck was personally willing to make the Fire Infantry Division the vanguard of the war, Dark Town had become the focus of the war. Before the US warships and aircraft carriers appeared in the territorial waters of the Divine Continent Empire, this was the most important battlefield. If the second counterattack could succeed, the Fire Infantry Division would also be extremely glorious as the vanguard. This was an indelible military merit.
But similarly, they had to consider the soldiers' thoughts.
The soldiers of the Fire Infantry Division rushed over a thousand miles away and were sent to the battlefield as the vanguard before they could rest much. This would definitely cause a large number of soldiers to be dissatisfied. If they changed their minds, they could even easily affect more soldiers of the other forces.
Under the shroud of war, the thoughts of ordinary soldiers against war also existed. However, no one spoke out. Once such thoughts were guided to the final outbreak, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"This is indeed a hidden danger."
Scana was silent for a moment and slowly said, "But you must eliminate these hidden dangers yourself, Commander Planck. I can't give you a reason for all your troops to agree to be the vanguard, but I can tell you the reason why I arranged for the Fire Infantry Division to be the vanguard."
"What's the reason?"
Planck asked subconsciously.
"Because of what you just said, Their fatigue, And what I'm going to use, Because of this, After a short rest, they immediately went to the battlefield, However, the state of readiness to fight on the road would not disappear, Their spirits will remain tense, And as the vanguard, You'll be dissatisfied with us, too, While being dissatisfied with us, they want to live even more, Since then, "They will be cautious in all their actions. I'm not afraid to tell you that although the journey from here to Dark Town is not far, there are probably countless traps along the way. Therefore, only by being cautious enough can they get rid of those traps one by one. As for this mission, it is most appropriate to hand it over to the already nervous Fire Infantry Division."
Scana smiled and looked at Planck, explaining calmly.
Teglas subconsciously glanced at Scana. As long as Scana wasn't an idiot, he could tell that it was far-fetched. He was sure that Scana had other meanings in letting the Fire Infantry Division be the vanguard. It wasn't what he was explaining now.
Planck was naturally clear, but he didn't dare to ask again. Scana had already given a reason that wasn't a reason. Even if he continued to ask unwittingly, he wouldn't get any other answers. He might even anger the Marine Corps commander.
"I... I will try my best to get through their work, but it will take time..."
Planck was silent for a while before he spoke in a hoarse voice.
'"I can give you one more hour, but this is already the limit. We can't have any more. If the time is extended again, it's very likely that we won't be able to get back to Dark Town within the time limit. In that case, the consequences might be even more serious than the soldiers."
Scana said calmly.
"Yes!"
Planck was shocked.
Yurisses gave Hoventon 24 hours, At this time, They have to take it back to Dark Town, At this moment, more than half of the time had passed. In addition, they had to gather troops from Luo De Town to go to Dark Town. This would also take time. It would also take time to wage war. Occupying Dark Town would also take time. From the looks of it, time was already extremely tight. Being able to have an extra hour was the real limit.
"Colonel Planck, I understand your difficulties and concerns, But you know, We are facing war, "This is the cruelest word in the world. Any action in a war is difficult, but these difficulties must be overcome. If we are stopped by these difficult groups, let alone victory, we do not even have the qualifications to fight. So no matter what, you must convince your troops, please!"
Teglas suddenly said. He looked at Planck with an unusually sincere gaze and an irresistible determination.
"Yes!"
Planck replied again, his tone still a little weak, difficult? He was facing more than difficulties now. He simply didn't dare to imagine how the soldiers would react when he faced his own soldiers and told them that the Fire Infantry Division would become the vanguard in this war. He simply didn't have a good reason to convince those soldiers now.
And without good reason, it proves that these difficulties are insurmountable.
'"Commander Planck, you must cheer up. I can promise you that if we succeed in retrieving Dark Town in this counterattack war, I will personally recommend you to the War Command. With your military merits, you will soon become a major general. Furthermore, you can be sure that a major general is definitely not the end of your military rank."
Scana solemnly promised.
"Yes!"
Planck was shocked. This time, his response was much louder.
Scana smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you can go back and convince your soldiers to..."
"Boom!"
Before Scana could finish his words, an intense explosion suddenly sounded.
"Da da da …"
After the explosion, the thunderous sound of gunfire filled everyone's eardrums.
The originally quiet town of Luo De seemed to become chaotic in an instant. Footsteps, shouts, gunshots, and explosions sounded at the same time.
The entire Luo De Town trembled slightly amidst the sudden loud noise. A large number of soldiers began to gather in the direction of the hotel without knowing why.
Amidst the chaotic explosions, Scana could vaguely hear the word'enemy attack '.
Enemy attack!
Teglas and Scana finally reacted. At this moment, when the war was about to begin, someone had actually killed their way to Dark Town.
Who exactly was it! ?
Teglas and Scana exchanged glances. They could see the gravity in each other's eyes, as well as a hint of hidden fear.
"The Emperor and Lin Xuanyuan are both seriously injured. It won't be theirs."
Tigeras opened his mouth and said in a dry tone.
"It doesn't matter who it is. Old man, I'm almost certain that this is a feast before the war begins. If we can't eliminate the enemies who are attacking, there might be no need to fight in this war."
Scana said with a gloomy expression.
Teglas remained silent.
"Aresis!"
Scana suddenly roared.
"I'm here, dear brother."
Aresis's muffled voice rang out, and his enormous body appeared at the door of the suite.
"Go and see who's attacking Luo De Town, find them, and kill them!"
Scana ordered coldly.
"Sorry, dear brother, I can't do this. My main task is to protect you. I won't leave until the enemy is killed."
Aresis rejected Scana's orders without hesitation.
Scana raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Teglas said, "Let him stay. Since the other party chose to attack Luo De Town, then his target must be you and me. He will take the initiative to find him. We will wait here and wait for him to die."
"Wait for gains without pains??"
Aresis's eyes lit up. He clenched his fists and smiled, "I like this suggestion."
