Mage Veigar

Chapter 271 Military Meeting
Seven days later.

It has been seven days since Vega officially took over Victory.

In Vega's impression, as a senior military officer, he enjoys a high degree of freedom. First, he does not need to be responsible for the daily training of soldiers, and second, he does not need to "punch in for work" on time every day. If there is no meeting in the military, he can even sleep until noon.

As the number one figure in the army.

He has supreme status during the truce.

If war breaks out, you can also stay away from the most dangerous front lines.

This is exactly the perfect life that Vega has always dreamed of.

But who can tell him what is going on now?

We said I could do whatever I wanted and sleep until I wake up naturally. What happened to that?

He mechanically signed a document, then took out a document from the pile of documents on the right and repeated the previous action. Vega had been doing this assembly line-like operation for a whole night.

Take a look at this file.

From rewards and punishments to leave for duty, all of them required his signature. This was after the documents had been filtered by his adjutant Yiluo. It turned out that managing a brigade of 10,000 people was not an easy task.

Vega sighed sincerely, but in these seven days he had basically adapted to the life of a senior military officer.

Although it is busy, this is just because of the new official taking office.

Vega stopped writing and asked casually during the break: "Yiluo, what's on the agenda today?"

"Report to the General."

Yiluo stopped writing immediately, stood up from the adjutant's seat and said, "Today is Friday. According to the schedule, you must first convene the headquarters' weekly meeting at 9:30. In the afternoon, there is the military headquarters' weekly meeting. You must rush to the military headquarters before 14:00. In the evening, at 18:00, you need to attend a commendation meeting of the 3rd Regiment and personally award a soldier with the Silver Cross Medal. And at 20:00..."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Vega rubbed his sore eyes, took out his pocket watch, glanced at it and said, "It's almost 8:30 now. Notify the commanders and the staff in advance not to be late. If anyone is late, stay after the meeting and report to me individually."

"Yes, General."

Iroh arranged the meeting in an orderly manner according to Vega's requirements. The adjutant's work did not seem to cause him much trouble, which made Vega, the new official, particularly grateful for having chosen an adjutant with outstanding work ability.

The headquarters' regular meeting is held at 9:30 a.m.

Vega sat at the main seat at the oval conference table, with the deputy brigade commander, chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, and regiment commander sitting on either side. Except for one empty seat, the conference room was already full.

Ta-ta-ta——

Vega took a pen and tapped the table intermittently. At about 9:35, he glanced at the seat next to him and said, "Can anyone tell me where the deputy brigade commander is? I don't think I received his leave application."

"Report."

Adjutant Iroh stood up from the last adjutant seat and said, "The former brigade commander and current deputy brigade commander, Colonel Dandri Grimm, applied to the military half a month ago for a mission to suppress bandits on the Erkia-Shelantu National Highway, and he has not returned yet."

"Bandit suppression mission?"

Veigar's heart was moved for no reason, and he asked casually: "How many people did Deputy Brigade Commander Dandeli bring to suppress the bandits?"

"A squadron of professionals and a team of shadow mages." Ilo read out the memo.

The pen in Vega's hand broke.

However, he reacted immediately and said, "Ahem, the quality of this signature pen is a bit poor. Let's change the chamber of commerce to purchase it next time. Since Colonel Dandeli has the military's procedures, I won't ask about the specific details. Let's begin the regular meeting." The regular meeting ended after 2 hours.

Through the first regular meeting, Vega roughly understood.

The entire independent heavy brigade is roughly equivalent to two mage elite brigades, consisting of 4 professional battalions, 3 mage squads, 1 direct shadow mage squad, an aviation unit and 8 standard regimental-level units.

The army consists of a total of 1.4 ordinary soldiers, about 800 professionals, and about 90 magicians.

As the sword of the Seventh Army.

The aviation force consists of 2 combat airships and 8 transport airships. Under the escort of the 2 combat airships, the 8 transport airships are sufficient to accommodate the entire force to carry out high-mobility reinforcements, raids, attacks... cover and other important tasks.

The headquarters' regular meeting ended, and Vega attended a military meeting in the afternoon.

As an elite force of the Seventh Army, Vega's seat at the conference table was the fourth to the right of Commander-in-Chief Hausmann. In front of him were the commanders of the 4st, 1nd, and 2rd divisions, and on the left were several deputy commanders and staff officers.

"Ahem...sit upright."

Hausman coughed twice and gave the first order.

All the generals immediately stopped talking, put out their cigars, and sat up straight. This kind of serious situation was rarely seen in regular meetings, and the order to sit up straight would only be given when an important matter was announced.

"Ahem... this week's meeting is quite important, please cheer up."

Hausman took the document brought by the adjutant with a trembling right hand, then put on his reading glasses and said, "According to the order of the Imperial Military Department, ahem... the royal family of the Holy Dynasty submitted a request for assistance to our country a week ago. After discussion at the Tri-Power Summit, our country decided to reinforce the Holy Dynasty with an army group to help repel the invasion of the United Kingdom in accordance with the Treaty of Alliance and Mutual Assistance."

"Cough cough cough..."

豪斯曼锤了锤胸口，然后继续念到：“现在命令，帝国第7集团军1、2、3师即刻开拔，协同中央军11航空精英旅、帝国15集团军6、7师，17集团军空降2师，前往神圣王朝国都‘圣罗兰城’进行战略支援作战。”

slam-la-

The commanders of the three divisions stood up and said, "I obey your orders."

"Ahem...very good."

Hausman took off his reading glasses and looked at the three division commanders: "Although our opponent in this battle is the weak Kingdom Army, you must remember not to be careless. If you lose too many troops, it will not look good on me."

"Please rest assured, Commander."

The commander of the 1st Division said, "We are not like those useless people of the Dynasty Army. We were beaten to 100 kilometers from the capital by the Kingdom Army. I promise that this battle will not bring shame to the reputation of our Seventh Army."

The commander nodded with satisfaction, but the eyes of the other division commanders were full of jealousy.

"How come such a good thing is not our turn?"

"The same goes for the Imperial Military. Do we need to deploy elite troops to fight the United Kingdom?"

"That's great. I want to fight the Kingdom Army, too."

"..."

The other teachers were talking about it, but Vega was the only one sitting in his seat with a frown on his face.

He wondered whether he should speak out to remind these people not to underestimate the current kingdom army, but in the end he chose to remain silent.

Veigar knew very well that humans were stubborn creatures.

Even if you are right and list hundreds of pieces of evidence, they will use the word "unreasonable" to deny all your correct opinions, so Veigar chose to remain silent. Just like you can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, can you stop a person who is determined to die?
If someone wants to die, let him die.
