I Will Be The Crowned King Chapter 145

"So why did I believe that **** and came to this hell?!"

Desperate Carl Bain opened two huge dark circles under his eyes, put his head in his hands, and asked himself hoarsely towards the ceiling.

In front of him, piles of "emergency documents" had overwhelmed his desk, and the tent, which was not very spacious, was also filled with all kinds of parchment documents and brochures, from tent doors to chairs, even There is no place to stay.

Meanwhile, the messengers outside kept pushing more documents into his tent by any means possible. There is a tendency to completely submerge him with the "reel mountain" and "report sea".

Looking at the pile of documents that seemed to never be read or signed, the Chief of Staff of the Storm Division, who insisted on "fighting" for two days and nights, finally felt that there were limits to being human.

The cause of the incident was to return to Reef Town to end the battle. Carl Bain took Anson's order to Claude Francois's barracks; nominally serving as a "military advisor", he was actually a communication representative on both sides , responsible for reporting the dynamics and plans of the front-line army to Ansen, so that the Storm Division can adjust its military deployment and marching plans.

For the arrival of Carl Bain, Claude Francois was "overjoyed", and even warmly prepared a welcome banquet for him, and publicly expressed his absolute trust in Carl at the banquet.

The reason is also in line with the way of thinking of the nobility of the land: Carl is Anson's henchman, and Anson is a relative of the Francois family, so Carl is someone who can be trusted, it's that simple.

Of course, there is another small reason, and that is the "Hantu Supreme Staff".

Although Anson forcibly established such a thing in order to improve the mobilization and military execution efficiency of Han soil; the problem is that no matter how good an organization is, it is composed of people, and no matter how clever the plan and strategy are, it is also carried out by people.

And Han Tu's problem is... she has no one.

To be precise, it was the large number of experienced staff officers who did not make up the "Supreme Staff" of the Clovis Kingdom, well-educated administrators, and correspondents and violence agencies who ensured that every order was carried out accurately.

More importantly, although they know that the "General Staff" is very powerful and efficient, they don't know how to make use of its efficiency, and they have absolutely no concept in this regard.

But Carl Bain has.

As the chief of staff of the storm division, in order to ensure that the storm division can keep up with Anson's "perfect plan" 24 hours a day, although he has only been in office for a few months, he has some experience in operating the staff.

And quite objectively, he thinks he's doing a good job—of course, mainly because he can barely keep up with Anson's "wonderful" brain circuits most of the time.

In this case, Claude is willing to delegate the work of the staff to Karl, which seems to be a very correct choice for both of them.

In order to fully demonstrate the truth of what he said, Claude I announced on the spot at the banquet that he appointed Carl Bain to be solely responsible for the battle against the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and awarded him the medal and title of "Honorary Royal Advisor".

The reason for the "honor" is mainly considering that Carl is a Clovis after all, and serving in a foreign country may give an impression of his career at home.

Such "intimate" care has flattered Carl, who has been the culprit for many years, and once felt that after so many years of bad luck, he finally began to get lucky.

Then he realized that things were not easy.

Because Claude François, like Anson, did not give him a decent staff at all except for his position, and he did not even have a minimum grass-roots team.

This was nothing in the time of the Storm Division, because the Storm Division had a complete and independent logistics system, and no matter how miserable it was, it was a standard Clovis infantry division. Barely maintaining a military deployment of a few thousand people is not as difficult as one might imagine.

But Hantu has an army of 300,000 people!

Three hundred thousand!

After just one day, Carl Bain was inundated with countless documents—not to mention 300,000, but 100,000 reports a day, and he could fight to the dark.

Not to mention sleeping, even taking a nap and eating time has become extravagant.

At this moment, Carl Bain is scrambling between "please approve the issuance of 5,000 pairs of military boots" and "financing 10,000 shoelaces", and also face the "Barracks Planning Regulations" and "New Rifle Purchase Agreement" "The cross firepower of the "document table position" to meet the enemy's continuous reinforcements, calculate how long it will take for the enemy to completely "stop resistance" and surrender.

At the same time, the entire Hantu Corps was full of complaints, and various important tasks were delayed for a long time. Before the Hantu soldiers could feel the "efficiency and convenience" brought by the General Staff, they first experienced a bureaucratic experience. The rigidity and dullness of ism.

In the face of the complaints of the people below, Claude Francois, instead of having any intention of sending more staff to Karl, kept silent and let the situation continue to deteriorate.

As for why it is such a strange situation, people on both sides are actually well aware of it.

Claude Francois... or the nobles of the vast land, do not want Clovis to continue to intervene and intervene in this war that decides the fate of the vast land.

Of course, he still needs reinforcements from the Storm Division when necessary, and arms supplies from Clovis; but beyond that, he prefers that the winner of this war is Claude Francois, not Anson · Bach.

The previous Claude was able to endure Anson Bach's influence on Han Soil and his various crazy behaviors; because he was only "Grand Duke Thun" at that time, he needed to have a superiority over Han Soil. Allies above, to maintain his relationship with his allies and to deter his enemies.

And now, he is the king of the lands.

As the king of the land, he could not lose the aid from Clovis, but he couldn't let Clovis dominate everything in the land, and he could become a vassal of Clovis from the inside out.

Therefore, in the treatment of Carl Bain, of course, absolute respect and trust in name, but in fact, we must try our best to avoid this Anson's cronies from participating in specific military action decisions, and let the Hantu people in the battle to determine their own destiny, become a foil.

Claude actually had some kind of "misunderstanding" about Carl. He has always been very supportive of letting the Hantu people end the war. After all, although the Stormtroopers are a group of scum and cannon fodder from top to bottom, they are not worth the cannon fodder. To die for other people, for a war that has nothing to do with them.

This is also the original intention of Anson to send Carl to the Western Front to support Claude-in his "small group" of command, although everyone is very cautious and good at "following their heart", and cares about the lives of those around them, but Carl Always the guy who cares about the lives of others the most.

When everyone only remembered escaping, only Carl Bain was able to plan the escape route while thinking of the cannon fodder around him, and by the way, retrieved some of the unlucky ones who had been left behind.

This guy may not be able to help others win, but he can guarantee that he will not lose too much when he loses.

Obviously, when thinking of this layer, Anson did not think of the change of mood brought by Claude Francois due to the change of status, and the old and unfortunate Karl became his "ill-considered" payment. cost.

But complaining is complaining. Carl Bain still knows what he should do and what he should not do; one must complain about, and all the things that should be done must be solved. This is a qualified migrant worker. The right attitude.

What's more, with his "rich and colorful" history of being blamed for blood and tears, what kind of party A has not encountered, what kind of boss has not experienced; well-informed people have long forgotten what a fuss is.

Since he is a consultant, and Claude Francois does not want to listen to military advice given by a Clovis, it is enough for him to make some reasonable suggestions and reminders at the right time.

All that's left is prayer.

Pray that your "new customers" will be luckier than all the previous parties and bosses.

"... Therefore, although the Empire has no signs of continuing to invade after the capture of the fortress of the top of the tower, I still do not approve of you continuing to push the front westward."

Carl Bain, who was going to make his last effort, or rather broke the pot, said solemnly to Claude Francois, who had a gloomy face on the opposite side.

"This will not only extend our supply lines and compress the strategic detours, but more importantly, the enemy only took three days to break through the fortress of the summit tower - far beyond our pre-war plan of at least a month, At the same time, let the other side occupy a stable forward base."

"According to the most basic military principles, once the premise changes, the plan must also change, and all our plans now are preparing for the final battle in about twenty days."

"So my suggestion is to stop moving forward for a while, look at the other side's situation, and then decide what to do next."

In order to ensure that this would not hurt the face of the other party and "interfere" with the "independent" military operations and plans of the Hantu Army, he specially found a free time for the other party to have a private meeting between the two; his tone was also very tactful, compared to Be a thousand times gentler with some jerk.

But no matter how "gentle" it is, it does not mean that the other party will definitely appreciate it.

"My dear Karl, I don't understand what you said." Claude Francois sighed deeply, looking very helpless: "But the problem now is that even if there is danger ahead, I can't stop!"

"why?!"

Carl was shocked, there are still people in this world who deliberately want to die? !

"Why, because I am the king of Hantu, and the first king of the Francois dynasty!" Claude beat his chest hard:

"Because I have a group of subjects who are disobedient and want to have a kingdom but don't want a king. There are a few powerful people who can overthrow my dignitaries at any time! Visania, Emmanuel... They are because of the empire The threat of having to bow to me, rather than really willing to kneel and surrender to the Francois family!"

"Even for them, I can't have the slightest weakness - because for traitors and extreme fanatics with ulterior motives, calm and cowardice are basically synonyms." Claude sneered:

"In this regard, Archduke Aiden should be more experienced than me; all Duke Emmanuel who was not tough enough was beheaded by the rebel vassals."

"But we're not ready yet!" Carl spread his hands:

"I understand your difficulties, but now is really not the best time to advance and fight - the enemy has just conquered the fortress and is waiting for it to work; if we don't change our plan, it means that the initiative is completely in the hands of the opponent!"

"And the Imperial Expeditionary Force is strong and highly mobile. If they are allowed to act at will to choose the battlefield, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for the Hantu Legion!"

"On this point, please forgive me for not being able to fully agree with you."

Claude Francois frowned slightly: "As far as I know, the main army of the empire is facing off against Clovis, and it is impossible to recruit enough people; even the commander sent is a retired royal family. The members, plus a few obscure minor characters, are simply not enough to compare with the real elite of the empire."

"What's more, didn't the Storm Division easily win the two battles in Reef Town and Carindia Harbor before?"

"Those are accidents!" Carl's mouth twitched slightly:

"On the one hand, there are factors that the enemy underestimates the enemy. On the other hand, it is also because there are many objective factors that limit the play of the empire that the Storm Division wins so lightly..."

"Please wait."

Claude suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Carl, with a somewhat unsightly expression: "Dear Carl Bain, I have no intention of doubting your judgment, after all, you are also an expert in this field."

"But you don't mean 'because Han soil's army is inferior to Clovis, so the battle that Clovis can win, Han soil may lose'... right?"

I want to say this, can you promise not to throw me out after finishing speaking... Carl, who rolled his eyes in his heart, looked righteous:

"There is absolutely no idea in this regard - the heroic Han soil warriors just lack modern training and sufficient weapons and equipment. In terms of wisdom and bravery, they are not inferior to any country!"

"But in any case, it is really too aggressive to continue to advance! Even if you wait for a while, wait a few days to observe the situation, or try to gradually gather the advancing troops as much as possible, in the name of preparing for the decisive battle?"

"If even this seems too... cautious, then at least leave a part of the reserve army just in case, this is always okay?!"

Carl is almost in a state of pleading.

Claude was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I will leave three infantry divisions in the rear to protect the supply line. I will hand over this unit to Henares. You can communicate with him directly."

"I respect your professional judgment, Your Excellency Carl Bain, but I think you may have been overly cautious this time."

"Trust me, Your Majesty Claude, I'm praying that my judgment is wrong..." Carl sighed with a self-deprecating smile on his face:

"I hope so more than you do."
