Mage Veigar

Chapter 282 Escaped?
Tick ​​tick tick——

Time passed slowly and the conference room fell into an eerie silence.

At this time, some generals closed their eyes to rest, some looked up at the ceiling, and some were consuming coffee on the table. None of them had any intention of taking the initiative to fight. After all, no one was confident that they could defeat the Kingdom Army, which even the Central Army could not defeat.

Vega is no exception.

Based on his many combat experiences against the Kingdom Army, Vega was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Kingdom Army. In the battle of Kareni, he was able to turn defeat into victory only by relying on the advantage of terrain and understanding the principle of how street fighting and guerrilla warfare could restrain blitzkrieg.

Now let him play against Holy Dynasty away?

Don't joke. If he waits for the Kingdom Army to launch an attack to the east, he will still have some confidence to compete with the other side. After all, he has the advantage of time, place and people. As long as the number of the two armies is not too different, he will have a chance.

But it’s different when Holy Dynasty plays away.

First, he is not familiar with the geographical environment of the Holy Dynasty, and it is impossible for them to give you the command of the city. Second, although the Empire and the Dynasty are allies, they cannot get the support of local civilians. Third, the number of troops in the United Kingdom is two army groups. If the Holy Dynasty's minnows are not taken into account, the number of imperial troops is not proportional at all.

Time, location, people and harmony.

None of the three elements of victory are in his own hands, so how can he fight this war, and how can he have the courage to volunteer to fight? Now is not the time to covet military merit, but the question of whether he can go alive or not.

So he lowered his head, hoping that Houseman wouldn't notice him.

Unfortunately for Vega, the three seats in front of him were the seats of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd division commanders, and they were currently besieged near the Holy Dynasty's Saint Laurent City, so they had no chance to serve as his shield.

Therefore, Commander-in-Chief Hausmann noticed Vega.

"To suffer!"

Vega was the first to notice the commander's gaze, but he didn't even dare to raise his head. Coupled with his height and appearance, he looked like an elementary school student who didn't hand in his homework.

However, he took this opportunity to give a wink to Chief of Staff Eskar.

This was to remind him not to forget the last bet on whether the Imperial Army would win or lose within three months.

The bet was that if Vega's prediction came true, Eskar would need to help him dissuade the commander-in-chief from sending him for support.

Although the bet was interrupted by a messenger midway.

But Vega can only place his hope on Chief of Staff Eskar now, he doesn't want to be sent to die.

But Veigar was just worrying too much.

Commander-in-Chief Hausman's gaze stayed on Vega for only a second before moving away.

Perhaps in his eyes, Vega was just a rookie with good luck in the cadet school, so he did not think of entrusting such an important task to a child. Finally, he looked at the person behind Vega.

"Cough cough cough..."

After a cough, a sound that sounded like heavenly music to Vega was heard.

"Second Division Commander."

"exist."

Hausmann's words made the 4th Division Commander Garru Valdes stand up suddenly. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the desperate expression on his face could not be concealed no matter what.

"I think you should go and provide support."

Although Hausman was weak, his voice was unquestionable. This also made the 4th Division Commander Major General Garru dare not find any excuse to refuse, because if he refused, the deputy division commander in charge of the 3rd Brigade, who was eyeing the position of division commander, would take the initiative to volunteer at the first time.

This is how Hausmann, as a superior, acts.

The powerful system of checks and balances means that every teacher has no right to refuse, because if you refuse, he can always find someone to replace you and sideline you.

Although you are still the nominal division commander at that time, the deputy division commander has already taken all the troops to the front line. If you win, you will probably never get back the troops you were in charge of. If you fail, your troops will probably be wiped out, and it will probably be impossible to rebuild them.

Therefore, the commander of the 4th Division could not refuse Hausmann's order at all.

He sat back in his seat dejectedly, and then said in a helpless tone: "Commander, please give me five days to mobilize the troops. Several regiment-level troops are cooperating with other city law enforcement teams in the security and peacekeeping mission."

"no problem."

Hausman coughed twice and said, "Then please ask your department to launch the support mission in five days. Please ask your staff to prepare a plan for the specific operation and submit it to the General Staff. The main direction of your mission this time is to cooperate with the 5th and 15rd Divisions of the Holy Dynasty to retake several cities near Saint Laurent and open a gap in the siege of Saint Laurent City."

"I understand."

"Do you have anything to add? If not, let's adjourn the meeting."

Hausman waved his hand irritably, signaling everyone to leave, but at this time Chief of Staff Eskar suddenly stopped everyone: "Commander-in-Chief, please wait a moment. I think sending only one division is not enough."

"According to the Chief of Staff?"

"I suggest sending Brigadier General Vega's independent heavy armored brigade."

Eskar's words made everyone focus on Vega, who was trying his best to reduce his presence. At this moment, he was staring at Eskar with a pair of terrified eyes. He never expected that Eskar would not only not abide by the bet, but now he actually sold him out.

"Please give me a reason."

Hausman considered it carefully, then looked at Eskar.

He and Eskar have been working together for more than ten years and they know each other very well. Moreover, when it comes to marching and fighting, the General Staff is the brain of the entire army.

"The commander may not know."

Eskar smiled at Vega, then looked at the commander and said, “Three months ago, Brigadier General Vega predicted that our army would be defeated and would ask for help from the military in the third month. At first, I thought it was just a joke because it was hard to believe that the Imperial Army would lose to the Kingdom Army. But now... the facts are as you can see.”

wow-

Everyone looked at Vega in shock. Even Commander-in-Chief Hausman opened his mouth in disbelief: "Brigadier General Vega, is what Chief of Staff Eskar said true?"

“I just said it casually at the time.” Vega answered stiffly, regretting it deeply in his heart.

"Commodore Vega is too modest."

Chief of Staff Eskar praised him crazily: "You may not have seen Brigadier General Vega's information. Brigadier General Vega not only defeated Major General Kafyn Dahlberg, who was personally named the 'Unbreakable Formation' by the Führer, in the final battle of the General Plan, but also won the highest honors such as the Wings of the Empire, the Father of Guerrilla Warfare, and the Kareni Family Name before entering the military academy."

"besides."

“Brigadier General Vega once recaptured the northern front city of Kareni from the hands of the Kingdom Army. In terms of combat experience against the Kingdom Army, no one here can match him.”

"In summary."

Eskar said in a resounding voice: "I suggest that Brigadier General Vega be the commander-in-chief of this mission, and that the commander of the 4th Division, Garru, assist him. I believe that with Brigadier General Vega's undefeated record against the Kingdom Army, he will be able to complete this mission perfectly."
