Correspondingly, the staff members of the Military Staff Department have become staff members of the General Staff Department. Their responsibilities remain the same. They collect, summarize, and analyze battlefield information, work together to find countermeasures, and then provide it to the front line for their reference and choice.
Above that, there is still the chief of staff of the staff department. They are senior staff officers with good abilities. They have been promoted step by step from low-level staff officers. There is only one criterion for promotion-military merit.
It's not difficult to say, but it's easy to say. Up to now, there are still less than twenty leaders of the Yongye Army who can hold the position of chief of staff.
Most of those who can bear this title are smart people, smart people who have certain qualities in the art of war, tactics, and the overall situation.
To put it bluntly, any one of these people can stand alone.
There is no way to fill this kind of position, and it will be more difficult to be promoted in the future. After all, many times, their suggestions will directly affect the life and death of frontline soldiers, and they have a heavy responsibility.
On top of this, the main chief of staff and the chief of general staff are respectively established.
The position of chief of general staff is still vacant. It is worth mentioning that the chief of main staff is the chief of staff.
There are now three leaders of the Yongye Army, namely Ben Hebrews, Brann and his son, and the young man in front of him, Kelman.
Compared with the chief of staff, it is more difficult to become the main chief of staff. It not only requires military merit, but also has to provide constructive opinions on the military aspects of the Yongye army or strategic opinions that directly affect the overall situation, and achieve success.
Correspondingly, their rights are higher than those of ordinary chiefs of staff, and most of them are responsible for a military staff department.
After all, as the Yong Ye military leader develops and grows, they will fight on two fronts or even on multiple fronts. The military staff must be dismantled and each one should be responsible for one piece.
Now such a situation has emerged. There are only two main chiefs of staff in Brother Port, Brann and Kelman.
The wily Ban Hebrew led a team to the east of the Andis Mountains to support the Yong Ye Army Leader's ally, the Cliff Clan.
Not only did the Yongye Army leader support them with a military staff unit, but the three thousand mountain Kentana barbarians who had been held hostage in the Yongye Army leader were also repatriated one after another.
It is natural to have no choice but to repatriate such a powerful force at such a critical moment.
As mentioned before, the Cliff Clan's life was not easy, not only because of the failure in marching into the Andis Mountains, but also because of the turmoil on the Kentana Icefield.
The situation on the Kentana Icefield has eased in the past few years. After the Kentana barbarians had a better life, it gradually became stable again. After all, their population is relatively sparse and they have become accustomed to the current lifestyle. As long as they can survive,
Their thinking has become rigid and they will not change easily.
Who would have thought that those few years were just a throwback to the past. Three years ago, the abnormal weather in the Kentana Icefield began to intensify. It is said that heavy snowfalls come one after another and can drown people.
Such heavy snow is not common even in the Kentana Icefield. The sea surface is frozen for a long time. The time for seals, walruses, giant whales and other large marine creatures to show up is greatly reduced. The hunting season is shortened. Due to the shortage of food, a large number of kolei beasts die.
.
Needless to say, the importance of the Kore beast to the Kentana barbarians is not only their camel beast, but also their main source of survival supplies.
On the Kentana Icefield, you can be without weapons, but you must not be without koleys, especially female koleys, whose milk can save your life in many cases.
Without the Koremon, even the Kentana barbarians would lose their foothold here.
The relatively closed environment of the Kentana Icefield left them with few ways out.
It is true that it is adjacent to the Odin Grassland, but the Kentana Icefield is a semi-plateau, with an altitude of more than a thousand meters higher than the Odin Grassland. The junction of the two is definitely a restricted area for life, not only for the Kentana barbarians, but also for the
The Orcs of Odin rarely set foot there.
Because the ice there is semi-melted all year round, if you are not careful, you will fall into the ten thousand year ice cave and never be able to climb out again.
The entire east side is surrounded by ice and sea, and the only way out is the eastern range of the Andes Mountains.
A large number of Kentana barbarians began to flow in this direction.
This time they brought no goods, only weapons.
Not only did they plunder, they also stayed here. Judging from the situation, they were not ready to leave until the Kentana Icefield returned to normal.
However, the eastern range of the Andes Mountains is not too barren, but it cannot be said to be very rich. The output is only so much, and there are so many big eaters in the wild. How can there be so much excess food to support them?
There is a serious conflict in the living space.
Compared to the Andis, the mountain Kentana barbarians are already monsters in terms of height and strength, but compared to the authentic Kentana barbarians, they are out-and-out hybrids.
The Kentana barbarians from the Kentana Icefield are the monsters among monsters. Every adult Kentana barbarian has a stature no less than that of Yale the Man-Bear (2.5 meters tall).
Compared with them, the Andis people are out-and-out halflings.
Under the pressure of survival brought by them, those mountain Kentana barbarians, who were still in the mood to fight for life and death, united as soon as possible.
Even so, it was only a draw with the Kentana barbarian tribe, and now one-third of the area has become the opponent's hunting area.
Rather than saying that they resisted the Kentana barbarians, it would be better to say that they used one-third of the hunting area to temporarily appease the Kentana barbarians.
But as more and more Kentana barbarians gather in this direction, those hunting areas alone will never be able to satisfy their appetites, and it is inevitable to continue hunting there.
What's even more terrible is that as the number of Kentana barbarians gathered increases, the Kentana barbarians who have always been nomadic in families or small groups are uniting to elect a common king.
When the other party was scattered, the Cliff Clan could hardly hold it anymore. When they united and thousands of half-giant Kentana barbarians charged while shouting ancient slogans, that scene was so exciting just thinking about it.
shudder.
The leader of the Eternal Night Army and the Kentana barbarians in the mountains are in a typical relationship.
If the Kentana barbarians in the mountains are defeated by the Kentana barbarians, the leader of the Evernight Army will have to face these barbarians from the ice sheet.
Although the Yongye military leaders have prepared backup plans and are nearing completion of the restoration of the fortresses left behind by the Guandis Empire, they are now at a critical moment when plotting against the Crocodile tribe, and their forces are stretched thin.
If there are not enough manpower to defend, no matter how powerful the fortress group is, what is the use?
The leader of the Yongye Army naturally hopes that the Cliff Clan can hold on, and the longer it can hold on, the better. Even if it fails, it will be until the war on the Marsh of Despair, the leader of the Yongye Army, is completely over.
For this reason, the leader of the Yongye Army had no choice but to send back the mercenaries used as a means of threatening the Cliff Clan. Not only did he support them with a large amount of supplies, he also dispatched a military staff detachment led by Ben Hebrew himself.
In addition to their mission of helping the Cliff Clan to make plans to deal with the invasion of the Kentana barbarians, they also collected intelligence on the Kentana barbarians and prepared for the leader of the Yongye Army to face the Kentana barbarians directly.
It is obvious that the leaders of the Yongye Army are pessimistic about the future of the Duanya clan.
Although Sean has many doubts about Ban Hebrew, his ability is absolutely unparalleled. He is a standard all-round talent. Not only is his personal strength at the top of the world, but also his political and military skills. After years of training in the Yongye Army, he is also
If you go up one floor, you can definitely pick it up and put it down.
Sean's concerns about him were only within the Yongye Army. To the outside world, Ban Hebrew had nothing to say about his feelings for the Andis people and would definitely not hold anything back.
It can be seen from the fact that when the Walled City Alliance faced the invasion of the mountain Kentana barbarians, he bowed to the leader of the Yongye Army without hesitation.
"The weather is getting colder and winter is coming soon." Sean did not ask directly, but gave a subtle reminder.
Kelman can become one of the three main chiefs of staff, so he is an out-and-out smart man. Sean just said one sentence and understood what he meant. He nodded solemnly and said: "Lord, we are here just in time.
Winter defense matters are being discussed, and we predict that Akmesser will launch the first wave of offensive soon."
"That's good." Sean secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Military Staff needed him to remind them of what they had just discovered on the city wall, then they could be considered guilty of collective dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, I didn't get too surprised just now, otherwise I would have made a joke.
Sean found a seat at random, sat down, and the staff officer with a listening look and long eyes quickly made tea and brought it to him.
Kelman cleared his throat, organized his words and said: "Akmesser has not launched an attack for a long time. In addition to waiting for reinforcements, it is also waiting for the right opportunity to attack. Our defensive measures in Brother Port are absolutely
It goes without saying that all the disadvantages to us have been dealt with, and any siege materials need to be seconded from afar."
When Kyle said this, he received nods of approval, and the staff present could not help but smile proudly. After all, this was their credit.
Before Akmesser's army arrived, they personally led people to inspect the land conditions of the ten kilometers around Brother Port one by one. They put themselves into the perspective of the siegeers and found all the things suitable for siege.
Come out and destroy.
I dare not say that it is perfect, at least they can think of it and clean it all up.
The city defense design also has their share of credit.
After the design drawings of Brother Port were taken out, their military staff was divided into two groups. In front of the designers, they conducted a paper attack and defense, and the unreasonable aspects were deduced through war.
Then it was improved, eventually forming what Brother Port looks like now.
You can tell by looking at the reaction of Akmeser outside the city. So far, they are helpless. They have not even launched a tentative attack. All day long, you can see Akmesser leading his personal guards around the city wall of Brother Port.
Wander around and look for their weaknesses. Whenever they see such a situation, they want to laugh.
"Not to mention anything else, this moat alone requires Akmeiser to fill tens of thousands of lives." Kelman pointed at the moat of Brother Port on the sand table, "Even if Akmeiser doesn't care about those cannon fodders,
Life and death will not be wasted casually, and he will definitely try his best to exploit our advantage. If it were in other seasons, he would have no choice but to use cannon fodder to fill up his life bit by bit. But the cold winter is approaching, and I have consulted Crocodile
Elders of the clan, in the winter of the Despair Swamp, the same extremely cold and slow-flowing rivers will freeze to the extent that adults can run on them. It is very common. As long as Akmesser is not a fool, he will definitely take advantage of this. We were
They can use ice to build walls, and they can also use ice to siege cities."
"Chief of Staff, aren't you just showing off your original achievements in disguise?"
"Lord, you are making fun of me again." Kelman couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Kelman was able to become the main chief of staff. During the counterattack against the Kentana barbarians in the mountains, the military strategy of freezing the city wall was of great importance.
Kelman has never taken the initiative to show off, but this is definitely one of the proudest things in his life.
But it felt a bit strange to be brought up and spoken to face to face.
At this time, naturally the only one laughing about this matter was Sean.
"Haha..." Looking at the shrunken look of the chief of staff who was becoming more and more informal in his speech, the staff couldn't help but laugh even in the presence of Sean, and the tense atmosphere obviously relaxed a lot.
Sean also smiled and said: "That's right. I just thought about the possibility of this when I was relaxing in the city. I was afraid that I might have been negligent, so I came over to take a look. I didn't come here to hold people accountable. On the contrary, I came here to take a look.
I have to praise you for your conscientiousness. Even if we are doing something very serious, we should not be too nervous, otherwise problems may easily arise."
"That's what the lord said."
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense."
The staff officers present all agreed.
Only Andis Tiger Tagore, who was sitting next to Sean, could not help but mutter in a low voice: "With you here, can their nerves not be tense? If you want them to relax, it is as simple as picking up your butt and leaving."
"
It has to be said that a person's power will continue to change depending on his position.
Andis Tiger still remembers the first time he saw Sean. He was just a young man with no hair on his head, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
Even if he later joined the Yong Ye Army Leader, his attitude toward him was still the same, not much respect.
However, as the power of the leader of the Yongye Army continues to grow, he becomes more and more integrated into this group and cares more and more about certain things. When he faces Sean, things are obviously different.
Inexplicably, I always feel a little guilty, fearing that I might not perform well in some way.
The other party is obviously smiling most of the time, but there is always a feeling of not being angry and intimidating.
This can only be said that it is not Sean who has changed, but the mentality of others.
And many times, other people's mentality has already changed, but Sean was in the middle of the situation and couldn't change it for a while. When he heard Tagore's words, he couldn't help being stunned, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart.
This time Tagore is not just talking nonsense, but stating a fact. As long as he is here, even if he has no other thoughts, he cannot make others nervous, right?
If I want to pursue the same atmosphere as before, it would be a bit pretentious.
When people gain something, they also lose something.
As your position continues to improve, the previous casual harmony will be gone forever.
Now it seems that I am a little greedy.
Sean nodded at Kelman and said, "You continue."
"To sum up, I think the general attack on Akmesser must be carried out at the moment when the moat is completely frozen." Kelman laid out his main argument.
"You just said that Akmesser will launch the first wave of attacks in the near future. Although the weather has turned cold now, there is still a long way to go before the moat is completely frozen." Sean pointed out the context of Kelman's words.
A place of contradiction.
"That's right." Kelman nodded and said, "According to what we know about Akmesser, this man is stable in the old city and has been a general for many years. He never fights an uncertain battle, especially when Archduke Buck is personally on the front line.
When we are watching, before a full-scale attack, we will definitely launch a tentative attack to understand our defense situation and prepare for a full-scale attack."
"That makes sense."
Not only Sean nodded repeatedly, but also the big boss, Andis Tiger Tagore, also nodded repeatedly.
"So, our combat layout needs to be adjusted..."
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Before Kelman could finish speaking, a series of bells sounded outside.
"Enemy attack?!" Andis Tiger Tagore suddenly jumped up, his expression slightly changed.
This is an early warning bell!
The early warning bells of Brother Harbor.
Tagore didn't dare to waste a second and ran out. He was the commander on duty.
