Chapter 793: The Mountain of Bones 2

Heinrich Military Base, command building.

In the conference room on the third floor.

Bang!

"inability!!!"

The slap landed heavily on the thick and hard ebony table. The subsequent scolding made Harris, who was standing in front of the table, look gloomy. He hung his head, unable to defend himself.

"On the New Year's Eve of the Empire, the enemy blasted open the country's gates. This is a humiliation for us!"

"How dare Gustav go to Salvia to celebrate the New Year? Doesn't he know that his troops are as weak as sheep? As a navy, they can't even defend our territorial waters!"

"It took less than a week from the discovery of the Yan people to the complete loss of control of the sea! What is the navy doing? The huge amount of military funds spent by the country on them has cultivated such a weak force? It collapsed at the first blow! It has achieved nothing! It is of no use at all!"

"It only took a few days for the Yan people to control our oceans. Does that bastard Gustav know what this means?!"

Brewster, who was a tall and strong man at 195 cm tall, stood in front of the conference table and shouted angrily. The officers at the table all hung their heads, looking extremely ugly.

"Oh! He must not know!"

"After all, he can only perform like a dramatic actor in front of the emperor, making those ridiculous movements and making people laugh like a clown."

"Can he know that his troops have been ravaged by the Yan people like whores?!"

Hearing these merciless accusations and curses, Harris remained silent. Although he did not completely agree with Brewster's words, if he refuted him at this time, his anger would surely become more intense.

The supreme commander who commanded the Fourth Army had a unique nickname. The officers called him "Volcano" in private. This did not mean that he was as passionate as a flame, but it described his character as a volcano that could erupt magma at any time. No matter whether it was a person or something, as long as it made this "Volcano Admiral" angry, then even if you stood in front of him, he would definitely say something mercilessly that would make you feel ashamed.

"The incompetent navy cannot protect our oceans, which makes our ports like a woman whose skirt has been taken off, and the damn Yan people have penetrated them unscrupulously!"

“I am so ashamed of myself!”

Brewster was swearing and spitting everywhere, even Harris, who was standing across a table from him, was splashed with saliva in the face.

Harris looked up and saw that Brewster's mouth was spitting saliva like an erupting volcano. He thought that Brewster was still the same as before, without much change. Even at this time, he still did not forget to severely belittle the navy.

Although he has always looked down on Gustav, why should he vent his anger on the entire navy? The navy has tried its best to stop the Yan people, but the Yan people have better warships, and this is a gap that cannot be bridged. Now they have all sacrificed, and it is too disheartening to curse them with such vicious words.

Harris couldn't help it when he thought of this. He was about to try to stop it, but he saw Brewster suddenly take off his hat and throw it on the table.

"Without control of the sea, the Yan people took Foster Harbor as their attack target. Harris, it's understandable that you couldn't defend it."

Brewster took off his hat and was scratching his Mediterranean-style head. There was a bald spot in the middle of his reddish-brown hair. Harris took a look and closed his open mouth again.

"But Bernhardt has hundreds of thousands of troops. With this force, how could he not defeat the Yan people who landed? I really don't understand how he commands. Is it because he is too old? If you are old, just go back and rest!"

Harris finally couldn't help it and frowned:

"Sir, let's discuss the matter at hand first."

At this interruption, Brewster took up his hat and put it on his head again, then sat down in his chair and said:

"You said that when you left the military factory, the Yan people were preparing to attack. It has been several days, and everything that was supposed to happen has happened."

Harris nodded and said, "They must be attacking the munitions factory."

Brewster touched his nose with a cold face and said, "I sent out the troops, but you said that they were not strong enough and asked them to withdraw."

"Doesn't this mean giving up the military factory?"

Harris took a deep breath and said slowly, "The reinforcements from Port Brulo were defeated. We have learned from experience before, so the troops you sent may not be able to break the siege of the military factory. Instead, they may get trapped. We have missed a good opportunity."

"And now, if we want to defeat the Yan people in one fell swoop, I think we have to mobilize the entire army to succeed."

Hearing this, Brewster narrowed his eyes and said, "After receiving the urgent message from the military factory, I have already begun to gather troops, but considering the urgency of the situation, I first sent three cavalry divisions to provide support."

"You have personally fought against the Yan people, so I think your suggestion can be adopted. There are currently nine divisions of troops in the base, including various arms. It is indeed the safest method to attack with the entire army. However, with too many troops, the marching speed will not be too fast, and this bad weather has become our biggest obstacle."

As soon as he finished speaking, Major General Bruber of the Infantry Division beside Brewster said:

"It has been snowing for two days. Although it is not too heavy and the snow on the roads is not too thick, the temperature has dropped a lot, which is indeed a big obstacle for us."

"In the past, winter has always been a time of rest for us." He looked at Brewster.

Brewster nodded and said, "Well, so I think we have to wait a little, at least until the snow stops."

"During this period, the signalmen will bring us more news. As you said, Davis, the director of the military factory, is holding out. I think he should be able to hold out for a while."

Hearing this, Harris frowned and said, "The military factory can basically be considered to have fallen."

"The Yan people deliberately used the military factory as bait to defeat General Bernhardt and his men by besieging the point and attacking the reinforcements. So after they succeed, they will definitely mobilize all their forces to quickly attack the military factory."

"As for their weapons and soldiers' combat capabilities, I have already told you in detail. It is impossible for the military factory to be defended."

"I think they will advance immediately once they capture the military factory."

After the words fell, Jacob, the staff officer behind Brewster, said in a deep voice: "Lieutenant General Harris, what you said makes sense."

"But the impact of the weather is the same for everyone, including them. The Yan people will definitely delay their offensive next time."

In the middle of his words, Brewster tapped the table with his fingers and interrupted:

"No matter what, we will send out troops as soon as the snow stops."

"The deeper the Yan people go into our country, the longer the battle line they have to maintain, so the more troops they will need."

"Our Fourth Army has multiple arms, and both manpower and experience in coordinated operations will give us a huge advantage."

"Those areas that have been occupied will soon be recovered by us after our Fourth Army rushes to the battlefield." As he spoke, Brewster looked around at everyone at the table.

"That's for sure! Sir! We are always ready to destroy the enemy!" The commanders of each division responded.

Harris also nodded, then turned and looked out the window. It was dark at night, the wind was howling, and the snow had not stopped. Now, he just hoped that the snow would stop as soon as possible.

-

under night.

As soon as Gustav opened the curtain of the carriage, the cold wind blowing in his face made him shiver. He pulled his woolen coat tightly around him and looked up at the brightly lit building in front of him.

That was the Royal Burger. He left Salvia on the morning of the 4th and returned six days later.

But the reason for coming back made Gustford's heart seem to freeze. With trembling teeth, he followed the signalman's footsteps and stepped into the gate of the Royal Castle.
