Chapter 329 Restructuring
Correspondingly, the staff members of the military staff department have become staff members of the general staff department, and their responsibilities remain the same, collecting, summarizing, and analyzing information on the battlefield, working together to find solutions, and then providing them to the front line for their reference and choice.
On top of that, they are still the chiefs of staff of the staff department. They belong to the senior staff officers with quite good abilities. They all come up step by step from the low-level staff officers. There is only one standard for promotion-military merit.
It's not hard to say, and it's not easy to say. Up to now, there are still less than 20 Yongye army leaders who can hold the post of chief of staff.
Most of those who can bear this title are smart people who have a certain quality in the art of war, tactics, and the overall situation.
To put it bluntly, such a person, whoever is pulled out, can stand on his own.
There is no way to make up for this kind of position, and the difficulty of promotion in the future will only be high. After all, most of the time, their suggestions will directly affect the life and death of frontline soldiers, and the responsibility is heavy.
On top of this, the main chief of staff and the chief of general staff were respectively set up.
Now the position of chief of staff is still vacant, and it is worth mentioning that the chief of staff is the main force.
There are currently three leaders of the Eternal Night Army, namely Ban Hebrew, Brann and his son, and the young man in front of him, Kelman.
Compared with the chief of staff, it is more difficult to become the main chief of staff. Not only military merit is required, but also constructive opinions or strategic opinions that directly affect the overall situation of the Yongye Army Commander are required, and they have achieved success.
Correspondingly, their authority is above that of ordinary chiefs of staff, and most of them are in charge of a military staff department.
After all, with the development and growth of Yong Ye's military leaders, they will fight on two fronts, or even multi-fronts. The military staff must be dismantled and each will be responsible for one.
Now that such a situation has emerged, there are only two main chiefs of staff Brann and Kelman on the side of Brothers Port.
The scheming Ban Hebrew led a team to the east of the Andes Mountains to support the Cliff Clan, an ally of the Eternal Night Army.
Not only did the Yongye army leader support them with a military staff department, but they also kept them as hostages. The 3,000 mountain Kentana barbarians who were detained by the Yongye army leader were also repatriated one after another.
Repatriating such a powerful force at such a critical moment is naturally forced to do so.
As I said before, the life of the Cliff Clan is not easy, not only because of the failure to march into the Andes Mountains, but also because of the turmoil on the Kentana Ice Field.
The situation on the Kentana Icefield had eased in the past few years. After those Kentana barbarians had a better life, they gradually stabilized. After all, they are relatively sparsely populated and have become accustomed to the existing life style. As long as they can live on, They have rigid thinking and will not change easily.
Unexpectedly, those years were just flashbacks. Since three years ago, the abnormal weather on the Kentana Ice Field has intensified. It is said that the heavy snowfall is the kind that can drown people one after another.
This kind of heavy snow is not common even in the Kentana Icefield. The sea has been frozen for a long time, and the time for large marine creatures such as seals, walruses, and giant whales has been greatly reduced, and the hunting season has been shortened. Due to food shortages, a large number of Kolei beasts have died. .
Needless to say, the importance of the Kolei beast to the Kentana barbarians is not only their camel beast, but also their main source of survival materials.
On the Kentana Icefield, you can have no weapons, but you must not be without kolei beasts, especially the female klei beasts, whose milk can save your life in many cases.
Without the Kolei, even the Kentana barbarians would lose their foothold here.
The relatively closed environment of the Kentana Ice Field left them with little way out.
It is true that it is adjacent to the Odin Prairie, but the Kentana Icefield is a semi-plateau, with an altitude of a thousand meters above the Odin Grassland. Odin orcs rarely set foot there.
Because the ice layer there is in a semi-melted state all the year round, if you are not careful, you will fall into the ten-thousand-year ice cave, and you will never be able to climb out again.
The east is completely surrounded by a sea of ice, and the only way out is the eastern range of the Andes Mountains.
A large number of Kentana barbarians began to rush in this direction.
This time they did not bring goods, only weapons.
Not only did they plunder, but they also lived here. Looking at their posture, they are not going to leave until the Kentana Ice Field returns to normal.
But the east of the Andes Mountains said that barrenness is not too poor, but it is not too rich. There is only so much output, and there are so many big eaters, how can there be so much surplus food to support them?
There is a serious conflict in the living space.
Compared with the Andes, the mountain Kentana barbarians are already monsters in terms of height and strength, but compared to the authentic Kentana barbarians, they are out-and-out hybrids.
The Kentana savages from the Kentana Ice Field are monsters among monsters. Every adult Kentana savage has a stature no less than that of a human bear Yale (2.5 meters).
Compared with them, the Andis people are halflings to the letter.
Under the pressure of survival brought by them, those barbarians in the mountainous Kentana, where there is no mood to fight to the death, have united for the first time.
Even so, it was only a tie with the Kentana barbarian tribe, and now one-third of the area has become the opponent's hunting area.
Rather than saying that they resisted the Kentana barbarians, it would be better to say that they used that third of the hunting area to temporarily appease the Kentana barbarians.
But as more and more Kentana barbarians gather in this direction, those hunting areas alone will definitely not be able to satisfy their appetites, and it is inevitable to continue to fight in.
What's more terrible is that as the number of Kentana barbarians gathered is increasing, the Kentana barbarians who have always been nomadic in the form of families or small groups are uniting to elect a common king.
When the other party was in a state of disarray, the Cliff Clan could hardly bear it anymore. When they joined forces and tens of thousands of half-giant-like Kentana barbarians charged with the ancient slogan, just thinking about the scene would shudder.
The leader of the Eternal Night Army and the barbarians of Kentana in the mountains are typically bitter.
If the Kentana barbarians in the mountains were defeated by the Kentana barbarians, the Eternal Night Army Leader would have to face these barbarians from the ice plains.
Although the leader of the Yongye army has prepared a backup, and the restoration of the fortresses left over from the ancient Andes Empire is nearing completion, they are now at a critical moment of plotting against the crocodile tribe, and their strength is stretched.
If there is not enough manpower to defend, what is the use of having a powerful fortress group?
The leader of the Yongye Army naturally hopes that the Cliff Clan can hold on for as long as possible. No matter how bad it is, the leader of the Yongye Army must hold out until the battle on the Swamp of Despair is completely over.
For this reason, the Yong Ye Army Commander had no choice but to release the mercenaries who were used as a means of blackmailing the Cliff Clan, not to mention supporting a large amount of supplies, and also dispatched a military staff detachment led by Ban Hebrew himself.
In addition to helping the Cliff Clan make plans to deal with the invasion of the Kentana barbarians, they also collected information on the Kentana barbarians to prepare for the Eternal Night Army leader to face the Kentana barbarians.
It is obvious that the leaders of the Yongye army are pessimistic about the future of the cliff clan.
Although Sean has a lot of doubts about Ban Hebrew, there is absolutely nothing to say about the other party's ability. The standard all-around talent not only stands at the pinnacle of the world in terms of personal strength, but also political and military. It is absolutely affordable to go up a level.
Xiao En's concerns about him are only inside the Yongye army. To the outside world, Ban Hebrew has nothing to say about his feelings for the Andes, and he will never hold back.
It can be seen from the fact that the Walled City Alliance faced the invasion of the mountain Kentana barbarians, and he did not hesitate to bow his head to the leader of the Yongye army.
"The weather is turning cold, and winter is coming soon." Sean didn't ask directly, but reminded cryptically.
Kelman was able to become one of the three main chiefs of staff, so he was naturally a smart person. Sean understood what it meant after just saying a word, nodded solemnly and said: "The lord came just in time, we We are discussing the matter of winter defense, and we predict that Axmesser will soon launch the first wave of offensive."
"That's good." Sean secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the military staff needed him to remind them of the discovery on the city wall just now, they could be deemed collectively dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, I didn't get surprised just now, otherwise it would be a joke.
Xiao En randomly found a seat, sat down, showed a listening expression, and the staff officer with long eyes quickly made tea and brought it up.
Kelman cleared his throat, organized his speech, and said: "Ake Messer has not launched an attack for a long time. Apart from waiting for reinforcements, he is still waiting for the right time to attack. Our defensive measures in Brother Port are absolutely Nothing to say, all the bad things for us have been dealt with, and any siege materials need to be borrowed from afar."
When Kyle said this, he got a nod of approval, and the staff present could not help showing a smug smile, after all, it was their credit.
Before the arrival of Akemesser's army, they personally led people to touch the land ten kilometers around Brother Port one by one, and put themselves into the perspective of the siege, and found all the things suitable for the siege. Come out and destroy.
I can't say it's perfect, at least they can think of it, and it's all cleaned up.
The city defense design also has their share of credit.
After the design drawings of Brother Port were released, their military staff divided into two factions. In front of those designers, a paper attack and defense was carried out, and the unreasonable parts were deduced through war. Then it was improved, and finally the current appearance of Brother Port was formed.
Just look at Akemesser's reaction outside the city. Up to now, they have been helpless. They haven't even launched a tentative attack. They can see Akemesser leading his personal guards around the city wall of Brother Port all day long. Walking around, looking for their weaknesses, whenever they see such a situation, they want to laugh.
"Not to mention anything else, this moat alone will require Akemesser to fill in tens of thousands of lives." Kelman pointed at the moat of Brothers Port on the sand table, "Even if Akemesser doesn't care about those cannon fodder Life and death will not be wasted casually. He will definitely try his best to balance our advantages. If it is changed to other seasons, he will have no choice but to use cannon fodder to fill in bit by bit. But as winter is approaching, I have consulted with crocodile The elders of the clan, the winter in the Swamp of Despair is also abnormally cold, and the slow-flowing river will freeze to the point where adults run on it. It is very common. They can use ice to build walls, and they can use ice to attack cities."
"Master Chief of Staff, isn't he showing off his achievements in disguise?"
"Lord, make fun of me again." Kelman couldn't help but smiled wryly.
Kellman was able to become the main chief of staff. When he fought back against the barbarians in Kentana in the mountains, the military policy of freezing the city wall was not small.
Kelman has never taken the initiative to show off, but this is definitely one of the most proud things in his life.
But being taken out and said in person is a bit wrong.
At this time, Sean was the only one who laughed at this incident.
"Haha..." Looking at the shriveled look of the main chief of staff who was becoming more and more informal, even with Xiao En present, those staff members couldn't help laughing, and the tense atmosphere obviously eased a lot.
Xiao En followed with a smile and said: "That's right. I just thought of the possibility of this when I was relaxing at the top of the city. I was afraid that I might be negligent, so I came here to take a look. I didn't come here to ask for responsibility. I have to praise you for your due diligence, even if we are doing very serious things, don't be too nervous, or you will easily go wrong."
"What the lord said is true."
"My lord is right."
The staff officers present all echoed.
Only Andis Tiger Tagore, who was sitting next to Sean, couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "You are here, can their nerves not be tense? It's easy for them to relax, just pick up their ass and leave. "
It has to be said that the power of a person will constantly change according to the position he is in.
Andis Tiger still remembered the first time he saw Sean, he was a young man with no hair at all, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
Even if he joined the Yong Ye army leader later, his attitude towards him was just the same, not much respect.
However, as the power of the leader of the Yongye army continued to grow, he became more and more integrated into this group, and he cared more and more about some things. When he faced Xiao En again, it was obviously different.
Inexplicably, there is always a bit of guilt, lest something is not good.
The other party is obviously laughing many times, but there is always a feeling of calmness and prestige.
It can only be said that it is not Sean who has changed, but the mentality of other people.
And many times, other people's mentality has been reversed. On the contrary, Sean was in the middle of the game and couldn't reverse it for a while.
This time Tagore was not talking about it, but stated a fact that as long as he was here, even if he had no other thoughts, he couldn't keep others nervous, right?
If you want to pursue the atmosphere of the past, it will be a bit hypocritical.
When people gain something, they also lose something along with it.
As one's position continues to rise, the previous casual harmony will be gone forever.
Now it seems that I am a little greedy.
Sean nodded at Kelman and said, "You continue."
"To sum up, I think Axmesser's general attack must be placed at the moment when the moat completely freezes." Kelman threw out his main argument.
"You just said that Ax Messer will launch the first wave of offensive in the near future. Although the weather has turned cold, there is still a long way to go before the moat is completely frozen." Sean pointed out what Kellman said before and after. contradictory place.
"That's right." Kelman nodded and said, "According to what we know about Akemesser, he is a stable old man who has been a general for many years and has never fought uncertain battles, especially when Duke Buck himself was on the front line. When staring, before the full-scale attack, we will inevitably launch a tentative attack to understand our defense situation and prepare for the full-scale attack."
"Makes sense."
Not only Sean nodded repeatedly, but even Andis Tiger Tagore nodded repeatedly.
"So, our combat layout needs to be adjusted..."
when! when! when!
Before Kellman could finish speaking, a series of bells rang outside.
"Enemy attack?!" Andis Tiger Tagore jumped up suddenly, his expression changed a bit.
This is the warning bell!
The warning bell of Brother Port.
Tagore didn't dare to delay for a second and ran out, he was the main guard on duty.
