Chapter 113 Common tasks
When Weiss came out of the general's office, Octavell was waiting for him in the corridor, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Your Excellency Commander, I am ordered to report to you!" Weiss saluted her a standard military salute.
"You figured it out so quickly!" Octavell nodded, "Very good, very good!"
Weiss responded: "I have always made decisions very quickly, and it is a great honor for me to be able to fight side by side with you again."
"Just figure it out, let's not talk about this for now, go and see Nicholas! Your good friend." Octavell said.
Half an hour later, in the military sanitation hospital in the suburbs, Weiss met his former good friend again. This guy looked a little funny now, with gauze wrapped around his head and tied up on his arms, and was lying on the hospital bed to read a book. He was actually reading a collection of romantic poems. Weiss asked her with a smile: "Didn't you stay in the back with peace of mind? Why did you go to the front line again?"
Nicholas replied tit-for-tat: "You've gone to do your job, why can't I?"
Weis smiled and said, "But, I'm back intact! Instead, you made yourself like this."
"Intact?" Nicholas snorted, "Show us the scar on your belly!"
Weis scratched his head and said, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from you!"
Octavell laughed aside: "You two are really interesting! When you were at the Baston Military Academy, you two were inseparable, just like brothers with different appearances. They haven't been together for several years, and they still have the same tacit understanding."
"At that time, he didn't know my true identity at all!" Nicholas suddenly looked at Weiss seriously and said, "If I knew, would you still be with me every day?"
"Ah!" Weiss felt that he had encountered a proposition. He occasionally thought about his relationship with Nicholas. In fact, he had always regarded her as a very good brother. Even after knowing his gender, he had no inappropriate thoughts. Instead, the elder brother's desire to protect his younger brother. When it comes to appearance and personality, Nicholas is actually impeccable, but the real obstacle is the huge identity gap between the two. Even if the other party doesn't care, Weiss will be difficult to overcome. What's more, Nicholas has never expressed his feelings, so there is no need to speculate too much or even be self-indulgent.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Weiss replied: "At Baston Military Academy, we are the best partners and the best brothers, and it has nothing to do with identity."
"I'll just say it!" Nikola said to Octavele. It seems that they have talked deeply about some things before.
"The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, what does it matter?" Octavell teased seriously, but the topic started with her and stopped with her. She then said to Nicholas: "A bad news... Someone has issued strict restrictions on you, and you will never think of getting into the plane again unless you are far away from the frontline."
Nicholas immediately argued: "How can a warrior leave the gun? The front line is my paradise!"
Octavere seemed to be entrusted by someone and persuaded Nicholas Doga: "The Lebolds have made enough sacrifices for this war. If you have any more mistakes, it is too cruel for an old man."
Speaking of this, Nicholas no longer argued, but lowered his head helplessly.
Weiss stretched out his hand and touched her head like in the past: "There is no distinction between the front line and the rear of the war. Killing enemies in battle is a hero, training pilots and improving flight skills is also a hero, so don't care too much about the form."
Nichola nodded, and then she suddenly thought of something: "By the way, why are you two here at the same time? Could it be that what mission are you going to perform?"
Weiss looked at Octavele, who said, "Okay, it's really impossible to hide anything from you. But don't worry, we just planned an action together, and this action will probably never appear in the historical record!"
"Are you going to set out soon?" Nicholas asked.
Seeing her reluctant look, Octavell said with a smile: "No, we will stay in Liberty City for at least two weeks. During this period, he can visit you frequently until you are discharged from the hospital. In this way, you don't have to rush to discharge! Then, we will perform this task, and it should not be too long. Look, we two act together. Should you tell me to protect him, or should you tell him to protect me?"
Nicholas laughed and gave a smart and reasonable answer: "You protect each other and must return safely together."
After visiting Nicholas, Weiss followed Octaveir back to their new garrison. To be precise, it was a special service unit stationed in the suburbs of the capital. There, hundreds of special service soldiers were undergoing rigorous training. Since Weiss has officially joined, Octaveir officially introduced the planning content of the operation to him. This plan was not as thrilling as imagined. Their purpose was actually very simple, to save a group of people. Before Weiss joined, the special service unit had formulated a general combat plan. It can be said that it was completely in line with the logic of the current war, that is, to use an elite combat force to sneak into the enemy area, dismantle the guards' alert, and after rescuing relevant personnel, they took their own transportation tools to leave quickly. The real difficulty was that the target was more than 4,000 miles away from the control area of its side, and even the latest flying ships would need to fly for seven or eight hours.
This doesn't sound like a long time, but you should know that this is the hinterland of the Norman Empire, the most powerful military empire on the planet. Their national defense power is not a flaw. In-depth analysis of this plan, you will find that there are many difficult places to achieve. For example, it is a small town with thousands of residents and protected by thousands of soldiers. How to find the goal of about a hundred people from these thousands is a challenge, and there is another problem they also need to worry about, that is, how to disintegrate such a large number of guards. Octaveer told Weiss that initially,
The plan is to use 200 to 300 special service soldiers to rescue about 100 special targets, which add up to the crew capacity of a light high-speed transport ship. As for the strength of the defenders, the special service troops have mastered some intelligence, but not enough or detailed enough. It is known that most of these Norman soldiers are relatively young and should not be veterans who have experienced the previous level of war. Judging from the training they received, their combat effectiveness should be under the elite marine forces, and perhaps slightly stronger than ordinary field forces. Therefore, Octavere thinks this is not too difficult to solve the problem.
This plan cannot be perfected in a short while. After talking about the important matters, Weiss asked about her experiences over the past few years. In fact, since Ao City, they have had few opportunities to meet. Weiss has been fighting guerrillas, experienced unforgettable defeats, and also ushered in a proud victory. Octavere told him that he has experienced many battles over the years, gained a lot of experience, and met some people and things. Most of the time, they are performing some special tasks, such as solving important enemy goals. Over the past year, they have killed the enemy and stationed in the
Three military governors and two dozen senior officers in the occupied area. Octavell joked that, in fact, Weiss' brother was also on the blacklist, but for some reasons, it was not implemented in the end. "Have you ever been to the Roman Empire?" Weiss asked curiously. Octavell stared at the blue sky and thought for a moment, "No, I haven't been there, but I have studied too much information related to it during this period. Do you know? We were unable to access these information in the past. So, I found that it was different from the evil place we had imagined."
"No matter what, this is our first time to embark on the land of the Norman Empire. Everything must be taken care of. All mysteries may be taken in the process of our exploration, and may always be a secret." Weiss said: "Will we meet Dr. Z this time? Missing him is my regret. I had the opportunity to bring him back before, but between him and Nicholas, I chose Nicholas. Do you think this choice is right?" "Nothing is absolutely right or wrong. If you choose, you don't regret it, that's enough. However... If we rescue Dr. Z before or early in the war, we can actually avoid a lot of casualties and greatly shorten the course of the war. However, the situation is different from the past. The technical gap between the Normans has gradually disappeared, so we will not deliberately break through anything for him. If he is there, we will of course save him. If not, let it go!"
They were chatting, and the melodious and exciting music sounded in the camp. This was the music for training intervals. Weiss didn't care at first, but as the music continued, his attention was attracted. Because the song was so nice, not only nice, but also seemed to inject energy and vitality into people. He asked Octavere, whose song was this? Octavere smiled and said, "You can't hear it?"
It's her indeed!
"What's the name of this song?" Weiss asked curiously.
"Looking up at the stars, it sounds nice!" Octavell said, "This is one of your favorite songs by frontline soldiers. Why, can't your guerrillas hear it?"
"We have lived in enemy-occupied areas for a long time, surrounded by only enemies, without our wonderful singing voices." Weiss replied.
"Oh! She is going to work on the front line soon. It may take two or three months to go there! How about it? Are you interested to go with me to say goodbye to her?" Octavell said, "You can find our big stars to leave a signature photo!"
Weiss smiled politely: "If you can go, of course it's good."
"Okay!" Octavell responded readily, but then she looked at Weiss with a silence. Weiss thought she had something to say or something to say. As a result, Octavell lowered his voice a little, but was still talking about business: "You said... the Norman Empire actually has some opponents. They have their own organizations and their own arms. Is there any way for them to launch guerrilla warfare?"
Weiss thought for a while: "Guerrilla is a state, not just a form. In my personal understanding, the actions of resisting rulers in his own country are not completely considered the category of guerrilla warfare, but a kind of resistance, or resistance. Strictly speaking, I think they can follow the guerrilla warfare model, but it is very difficult because they may lack the support of the people. The most important point of guerrilla warfare is to obtain the help of local residents."
"Well... what you said makes sense. Of course, this is just a preliminary consideration, because the opponents within the enemy want to use our power to overthrow the rule of the Hohenstaufen royal family, and we also feel that it is far from the time, but it can be cultivated properly. So, this time we go to the Norman Empire and consider bringing them some resources and also get some support from them." Octavell said.
Weiss said: "Everything has two sides. We can help them and get their help. It may be the other way around. We may implicate them, and they may betray us. Everything is possible. We have to consider all possibilities and make the worst plans. At the same time, we should eliminate hidden dangers as much as possible from the intelligence department and discover something wrong in advance. What do you think?"
