"Sir, I'm back." Adjutant Polly, who looked dashing in a blue military uniform with colorful ribbons and chain badges, strode into the room and announced in a formal voice; then his expression became shy and hesitant. : "I...finally did not disappoint the commander's expectations."
"Well, just come back." Jiang Tian nodded and waved to her: "Don't be so far away, sit here and tell me your feelings and experience of leading a team this time!"
However, when Paulina heard the words and came over, she saw that there were no extra seats behind the huge wooden table. She couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Sir?". However, Jiang Tian grabbed him and sat on his lap involuntarily. He couldn't help shouting in panic: "Sir!"
"Don't be nervous, that's good. This is a special treatment and reward for you." Jiang Tian said disapprovingly: "You are my only adjutant, my personal chief secretary, and a witness to my private life; if this is not the case, If you can’t stand it, how can you continue to serve in the future?”
"How do you feel? Well, I'm not talking about my thighs." Then Jiang Tian pressed down Paulina, whose face was flushed and was about to stand up, and asked: "I'm asking you, what extra do you have during this journey? Feelings and experiences, are they even lessons worth reflecting on..."
"This...there have indeed been some." Polina hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said with drifting eyes: "Once, when I ordered an attack on a heavily guarded baron's manor; they brutally executed those who took the initiative to persuade them. The town representative, so I got angry too..."
"...So, when Lieutenant Brian suggested using incendiary cans and fire attacks to drive them out for a decisive battle, I agreed... Then, most people did not escape; they were caught by the spreading fire, Burned to death in various corners of the manor.”
"...After the war, I vomited it out on the spot; not only because of the tragic situation of those who were burned to death, but also because there were many old people, women and children mixed in... What was even more terrifying was those who were smoked to death, God Damn it! Why don't they escape and insist on..."
"After vomiting, I suddenly regretted it, but I didn't dare to say it, because this was everything caused by the Free Army, and Nicolette, my staff officer, said that this was the fate those rebels deserved, and more Show it off and shock everyone around you.”
"So, when it came to handling the subsequent scene, Nicollet and Second Lieutenant Brian had a dispute; but I could only hide in the tent on the pretext of vomiting, waiting for them to disperse on their own; I...I...sleep Before I wake up, I always think of those people and start to doubt myself..."
"However, when the bugle sounded the next day, I slowly figured it out; I supported Lieutenant Brian's opinion to bury them. Because, as an enemy, we cannot forgive, but after death, the earth is God. A final act of compassion for creation.”
"Nickelite seemed a little angry, but he still obeyed the order. He didn't say anything unnecessary to me for several days... Then, we encountered resistance many times, with the participation of old, weak, women and children... and some children were When discovered, they bite our soldiers like wild beasts.”
"But I still ordered them to be treated well; so Nicolette and the others began to complain, saying that I was weak Polly and the leader of the bad guys..." At this point, Paulina couldn't help but groaned and paused: "So , Sir, is there something wrong somewhere..."
However, she found that her military uniform had been opened, and the slightly undulating chest of her shirt had also been untied, revealing a touch of snow-white skin. There was something like a little mouse, gently moving and rubbing inside; she was so distracted that she couldn't speak for a while.
"I'm sorry, I'm used to it." Jiang Tian withdrew his warm palm without changing his expression, and quickly turned to him and said: "Your problem is actually because you are confused about your own position, and you are at the level of a regiment commander. Finally, there is a psychological bottom line that we must inevitably face."
"Who am I, what do I want to do, and who is my enemy?" Jiang Tian felt her tense and relaxed body, and quickly entered the sage mode: "Like other people, their thoughts are simple. Many; most soldiers, for example, just need to know where the enemy is and defeat him."
"The non-commissioned officers and officers have to think more about what to do and how to defeat the enemy in front of them more efficiently and with less casualties. But as a corps commander who is in charge of and commands more than ten companies, he has to understand more Long-term responsibilities and missions, who to fight for and how to win.”
"So this involves your own status, or the current positioning of the Free Army. We have fought all the way here, and finally got the first foothold; and we have an army that can provide a steady stream of soldiers, food, and materials. Rear territory, why is this?”
"Is it because our soldiers are particularly brave, is it because our enemies are particularly fragile, or is it because of my wise guidance and leading by example? It seems so, but it is not! It is also because, every time, we are able to stand here One side of the largest group of people in the world.”
"They are rural farmers who have been deprived of most of their harvest by tax collectors and stewards, and whose wives and children are crying due to hunger and cold. They are urban civilians and small traders who are struggling under the ravages of foreign invaders and are abused by the powerful. Take something and take it away, and the majority of the citizens are in danger.”
"So, it was the Free Army that gave them a chance and a meager hope. Although their personal strength was very meager, the power gathered by several provinces, more than 20 counties, and hundreds of cities along the way; , just push the Free Army and us here."
"So, who do you think our enemy should be?" At this point, Jiang Tian patted some hot moving objects on his legs, gestured to sit down and listen to the lecture, and continued: "Understand the first and second questions. , when it comes to the third question, it is also about the general’s pattern and vision.”
"Our current enemies are the royalists who started a rebellion, or the old aristocrats, that's right. Because what they are pursuing is to return the kingdom to the suffocating hierarchical, up-and-down confinement that it was before. , and go into the decadent era of privilege.”
"Similarly, when they face the Free Army, which has strong military force and other advantages, they will certainly not sit back and wait for death. Instead, they will choose to resist until the last moment. The more they are struggling to the death, the more unscrupulous they will be; so they will incite and coerce. Those local people.”
"Compared to the foreign and unfamiliar Free Army, these old nobles were obviously more familiar and easier to trust at first. So, this is the source of your initial difficulties and troubles. But as time goes by, time and time again If you fail, the lie will eventually be exposed.”
"Therefore, those desperate enemies who have no choice but to resort to more desperate measures will encourage and force their wives, children, and relatives to stand on the front lines against the Free Army, and use their appearance as old, weak, women, and children to confuse and paralyzing Free Army soldiers.”
"Then, waiting for opportunities caused unnecessary losses and casualties; but I am very fortunate that you have a staff officer who has experienced similar things and is therefore full of vigilance; and you also have a subordinate who is rational and calm enough to prevent the troops from being too angry. and unnecessary venting of anger.”
"So I suggest you to reward them appropriately afterwards. Having said that, there are too many examples of opposition in all things in the world. Therefore, you cannot choose one side and then try to take care of the other; as a corps leader, you are a little weak against the enemy. and the cost of hesitation is greater.”
"After all, in the eyes of those hostile family members, no matter how good you are, you can't change the fact that the Free Army destroyed their families and lives and killed their loved ones; even if you have ten thousand reasons and morality, they will not Even if you understand, you won’t want to understand.”
"Then, sir, is there nothing we can do?" When Paulina heard this, she couldn't help raising her little face and praying to him:
"The solution? Let time solve it." Jiang Tian thought for a while and said: "Actually, you can deal with those women and children separately; send the women directly to the new textile factory and teach them how to Earn a living by yourself, and then wait for an opportunity to remarry and start a family.”
"Children are easily forgetful. If we find a family that lacks children and adopt them, we only need to change the environment and slowly change their daily life. They will not be able to do anything else. In fact, I have another idea. , you can imitate the Orphan Guard of the Eastern Empire..."
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
However, Paulina finally felt something was wrong with her body. The military uniform fell loosely off her shoulders, and her shirt was wide open. Even her white belly and small belly button could be seen clearly; "Well, I just want to test it." Is your wound completely healed?"
In the end, Jiang Tian looked at the figure that jumped up like a frightened deer and ran away from the door and said: "But no matter what, Paulina, you are a unique and special existence in this world to me." That figure After a pause, he almost tripped and fell to the ground while holding the door.
Immediately, Jiang Tian saw a prompt popping up quietly in his field of vision: "Mission Preliminary: Paulina's Family Matters." The progress of the second stage had actually reached 76%. In this case, as long as one or two more opportunities arise, another module/ability can be unlocked and restored.
"Are you a devil?" However, Ms. Malena, who was wearing a slender silk dress, quietly walked out from behind the scenes, and in a tone full of sighs and sighs, she slowly moved on Jiang Tian's shoulders and head and asked. : "Another poor lamb that fell into your hands? Or... the prey that you had expected?"
