Chapter 1,208: A Man Who Fights by Instinct (Part 1)
"It's such a pity that Ge Yunse died like this..."
After the meeting ended and he returned to his room, Doppler sighed and lamented to an old general sitting next to him.
"I quite like that Ge Yunse..." Doppler continued, "He was capable, responsible, and had a good character, but he died due to carelessness..."
"Yes..." The old general, who had been listening quietly to Doppler's lament since just now, also said with regret, "It's really a pity, he shouldn't have died like this. If you drop it, you will lose your life due to a moment of carelessness.”
"Doppler, you must learn this bloody lesson from Admiral Gerunther von Judith. No matter what enemy you encounter in the future, you must not be careless and underestimate the enemy."
"Uncle..." Doppler smiled helplessly, "Why are you always like this...you always preach to me every chance you get..."
"That's because I care about you." The old general said with a serious face, "If it weren't for you being my nephew, I wouldn't bother to care about you."
This old general was Doppler's biological uncle and his father's biological brother - Gerhard von Norman.
Grad is not only Doppler's biological uncle, but also Doppler's lieutenant and nanny.
Since becoming Doppler's adjutant eight years ago, Grad has followed Doppler to various battlefields in the past eight years.
At the same time, over the past eight years, Grad has also served as a nanny and wiped a lot of Doppler's butts.
"Okay, okay." Doppler raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and then said to his uncle in a tone without emotion and in a very perfunctory manner, "Thank you, uncle, for your teachings. I will definitely keep it in mind.”
After saying that, Doppler casually pulled a chair from his side and sat down carelessly.
"Today's defeat was a really big blow to Otto."
"Otto is like a different person now."
Doppler was also involved in the meeting that just ended.
Although Doppler had the privilege of not being punished even if he did not attend military meetings, he was not so willful that he did not attend all military meetings.
He will still participate in some military meetings that he thinks he should participate in.
In the meeting just now, Doppler said nothing during the whole process, quietly watching the meeting proceeding and witnessing Otto's tremendous transformation.
Otto's tone and Otto's eyes clearly told everyone that his words "I will never be careless and underestimate the enemy again" were not said casually, but seriously.
"That's a good thing."
Gerhard on the side spoke again.
"My capable lieutenant was killed. After suffering great pain, I was able to learn from the pain and put away my arrogance and contempt for the enemy. It seems that the reason why General Holweg became a general was because It’s not without reason.”
"People who can reflect on and correct their mistakes in a timely manner are quite remarkable."
"Doppler, you should also learn more from General Holweg! You must learn from General Holweg's experience of suffering.
A spirit that can learn from painful experiences. "
"Okay, okay. I understand, and I will learn from General Holweg."
Doppler once again spoke to his uncle in a casual manner, and then continued:
"Although it is a good thing that General Holweg put away his arrogance and contempt for the enemy, he did not allow the generals to recapture General Judit's head - is this a bit too much?"
"Is it too much?" Gerhard glared at Doppler fiercely. "Where is it? Is there anything wrong with using troops cautiously?"
"I think General Holweg is right to do this! Before we have determined whether the enemy has set up an ambush, we will never rush to recapture General Judit's head!"
"What's wrong with such caution?"
"I'm not saying that General Holweg's cautious style of using troops is wrong."
Doppler smiled helplessly.
"I just think it's wrong for General Holweg to not let the generals take back General Judit's head at this time."
"...What do you mean?" Gerhard asked doubtfully.
Although he has been fighting side by side with his nephew for eight years, sometimes what his nephew says always makes Gerhard confused.
"The combined fleet on the opposite side has not laid any ambush at all."
A meaningful smile appeared on Doppler's face.
"That Su Cheng just hung Admiral Judit's head on the bow of the ship to attack and humiliate us. He did not arrange anything in front of and around the warship with Admiral Judit's head on it. Traps and ambushes.”
"...Doppler, how do you know?"
Doppler raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, and nodded his head. The smile on his face became more meaningful.
"My gut told me so."
"My intuition tells me that Su Cheng did not lay a trap or ambush for the troops who came to take back General Judit's head."
As soon as Doppler finished speaking, Gerhard shouted with some anger:
"Doppler!"
"You're here again!"
"How many times have I told you!"
"Stop relying on your intuition!"
"No matter what you do, you shouldn't rely on illusory intuition!"
"Uncle." Doppler shrugged his shoulders casually, "You are wrong to say that."
"Uncle, you have been fighting side by side with me for 8 years."
"In the past 8 years, you have been with me in and out of battlefields of all sizes."
"You have fought side by side with me for 8 years, you should know how accurate my intuition is, right?"
Gerhard: "..."
Gerhard fell silent.
He wanted to say something to refute what Doppler had just said.
But for a moment, he couldn't think of any good words.
He could only remain silent for the time being and began to think about the appropriate reasons and words for rebuttal.
However, Doppler did not wait there for Gerhard to speak slowly.
"The same was true in the battle to save the emperor 10 years ago."
Doppler continued.
"The battle to save the emperor 10 years ago. People all thought I won by my bravery."
"It's unbelievable that people believe such words..."
"Uncle, I should have told you the real reason why I won the battle to save the emperor 10 years ago, right?"
"30 people against 20,000 people - how could you win a battle with such a huge disparity in combat power relying on the bravery of one person alone?"
"I won purely by my intuition."
"Because my intuition told me that I had a chance to win, I dared to lead only 30 light cavalry to charge against the 20,000-strong army."
