Mage Veigar

Chapter 204 Seize the day and night
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

For the imperial soldiers, the lifelong dream is to become a general. Although there is a saying that a general's success is built on the bones of thousands of soldiers, they will fight to the end even if the chance of success is one in ten thousand, or even if they will become a speck of dust in a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

The word "General" is a kind of belief.

No matter whether it was a civil or military position, no matter whether it was an honorary title or real power, as long as he could become a general and obtain the supreme glory, none of these mattered.

Now there is an opportunity before them - the General Plan.

This is a plan that the military has been planning for a long time, specifically to select commanding talents. This plan will be carried out in the form of a war competition, which is divided into 100-group battles, city defense battles, siege battles, national battles, and general battles. It is mainly through the battlefield that the victory or defeat is decided by their respective command abilities.

On a voluntary basis, every student at the Central Military Academy can participate.

Of course, what attracted Veigar the most was the reward.

Through Tiers' introduction, Vega had not expected that the reward for the first place in this plan would be - the rank of brigadier general of the Seventh Army stationed in the eastern part of the empire, bordering the Holy Dynasty, and the position of commander of the independent heavy brigade.

Independent brigade means that this is a unit directly under the army group.

The heavy brigade represents a large brigade equipped with aviation troops and with a total number of more than 10,000 people. Although such a brigade is still a brigade-level unit, it is actually equivalent to a division. Even the allocation of resources within the army group is carried out according to the standard division organization.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a position of real power among real power.

As long as one can become the first in the general program, no matter what level of students they are, they can graduate early and directly serve as a brigade-level officer in the Seventh Army.

This is an opportunity, a chance to reach the sky in one step.

In Vega's opinion, although it is not difficult to be promoted to general with the blessing of honor, it takes too long. Under normal circumstances, it may even take more than 10 years, and this is assuming sufficient military merit to support it.

Plus three years in military school.

13 years is too long, he needs to seize every moment.

Therefore, this is a great opportunity for Vega to ascend to the position of power. He wants to win the first place in this plan and be directly promoted to the rank of brigadier general this year.

"Excuse me, sir, when can I sign up for this program?"

Vega stood up and asked in detail: "Also, what is the first phase of the Hundred Regiments War? What are the specific rules and operating procedures? I beg you to explain it more clearly, sir."

"Don't be impatient."

Tiers coughed twice. "Registration ends this Sunday. Just come to me to register. The specific time of the plan is half a month later. As for what the Hundred Regiments Campaign is, you will know it by then. According to the rules, I cannot disclose it. But I can tell you that you should take advantage of these 15 days to train well in the land of war."

He looked at Vega deliberately.

Tiles said with a half-smile, "If you want to get first place, you have to defeat all the officers, including the third-level students. To be honest, I don't think you first-level students who haven't even learned the tactical theory have any chance of getting the reward."

After saying this, Tiers left the classroom.

Through the information revealed by Tiers, Vega could probably guess that the whole school would be involved in this plan, which was to decide the school's top command genius and then send him directly to the east.

In this case, it is obvious who the real opponent is.

After registering, Vega went directly to the training room, entered the battlefield, and checked the rankings on the overall scoreboard one by one. The top 20 were all level 3 students who were about to graduate.

In Veigar's opinion, if nothing unexpected happens, the first place will undoubtedly fall to one of the top 20 players on the list, because they have been through many battles in the land of war and have completed the transformation from tactical theory to actual combat.

This is just the apparent opponent.

What Vega fears more is some hidden command geniuses, whose sense of war cannot be ignored.

To be honest, Vega didn't have much confidence.

Compared with these people, he had neither a keen sense of war nor three years of uninterrupted command experience. All he had was the experience of commanding large-scale operations in the Battle of Kareni. Although this command experience was more than enough compared with the students of the same period, it was somewhat dwarfed by the senior students.

What to do?
Since there is no shortcut, the only way is to increase your command experience through continuous training.

So in the next few days, Vega was almost immersed in the land of war, and in just less than 10 days, his number of battles doubled.

This is unimaginable.

Even though a battle lasting more than 10 days in the War Land only takes less than 10 minutes in the real world, it often takes several days to recover from the mental fatigue after a battle.

You know, although the land of war is an illusion, it is extremely real.

Even the experience of death and serious injury is real. Coupled with the tense nerves at all times, no one dares to immerse themselves in the war zone for 24 hours and fight hundreds of battles.

Don't talk about a hundred games.

Even five games a day can cause trainees to suffer from mental illness. Some officers who overuse the battlefield are even afraid of war and are forced to resign and retire early.

Walk out of the training room.

Vega didn't even know how he got back to the dormitory. After fighting hundreds of battles in just over a day, he could hardly tell whether this was a battlefield or reality.

And Veigar is engaged in random battles.

Due to being matched with high-level students several times, Vega lost dozens of battles and truly felt the fear of death. The first time he experienced death, he even fell seriously ill.

But it was not without gain.

After more than ten days of fighting, Vega already knew where his shortcomings were.

The only thing he was familiar with and good at was urban warfare. His winning rate in urban warfare was as high as 100%. After all, even General Tirs would be defeated by him.

But apart from urban combat, Vega found that he knew nothing about combat on other maps.

Road battles, swamp battles, wasteland battles, plain battles, ice field battles, desert battles, air battles, naval battles... He knew nothing about the countless maps, and not every map was suitable for guerrilla tactics. He began to run out of ideas.

"You still underestimate this world."

Vega sat at the desk with bloodshot eyes, flipping through the pile of tactics books.

The so-called beating the master to death with random punches.

Although the officers of the large army did not have any clever strategies or tricks, they were able to rely on their combat experience to gradually build up advantages and ultimately win the war. Even Vega could do nothing about this.

Experience is itself a top-level strategy.

But he has too little experience.

He was not even familiar with the map, so even if he could recall some brilliant strategies, they were only theoretical. If he really applied them in actual combat, he would end up drawing a tiger but end up drawing a dog instead.

If there is enough time for actual combat...

Vega closed the book irritably, but it was too late.

Because time flies by.

Tomorrow is the day when the first phase of the General Plan begins, and the first phase of the General Plan is -

Hundred Regiments Offensive!
