Chapter 1714: Thirteen. Icewind Forest (6)

"Xiaguan's job is to assist in the reorganization and reorganization of your country's airpower. Our country will strictly abide by your country's commitment to permanent neutrality and will never intervene in the command of the troops nor will you question your country's diplomatic internal affairs. This principle is It won’t change, Marshal."
"My country appreciates the position of the empire and hopes that the friendship and cooperation between the two countries will continue to be maintained in the future. But at this moment, my country hopes that the major general will be able to use his talents as a soldier, and when things happen in Lapland and the Principality that no one wants to see, they will quickly Eliminate trouble."
Marshal Karl Gustav Emil Mannerheim, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Lapland Kingdom, asked in a gentle tone:
"I don't know what do you think?"
"This is an honor for the sergeant. However, the sergeant thought that the army was a regulated and violent device after all. It is reasonable to say that soldiers should not be involved in work outside the salary range, especially the kind that the Marshal said... Dangerous thing."
"Oh... is it dangerous?"
"Enough to cause a world war, Your Excellency Marshal."
Parsifal shrugged, and the old fox wearing a marshal's uniform reminded him of the politicians in the parliament-suspicious, cunning, hardly trusting anyone, always trying others.
Mayor Your Excellency Marshal's ambition is to become a politician in military uniform.
Parsifal speculated slightly, the expression was still serious, and no slight emotions leaked out.
"No matter what the actual situation is, people are always more inclined to believe the information they are willing to believe, and sometimes even conjectures made up of only a few words. Especially those who are already in a state of high tension. Some subtle information is enough for them to generate Unnecessarily excessive association, even if the situation is far from imagination, but this does not prevent them from embracing speculation and grasping the illusory sense of security. It has to be said that there are many times when the source of war is to start scaring yourself of."
"Is this your personal opinion? Or—"
"It's my experience after summing up the past history. Saying that experience is actually just a personal subjective argument, plus some contact experience with the Principality, corresponding to the current situation."
There are actually two roots of the problem, but these two roots are actually the two sides of the same problem, namely the great deterrent power of the empire and the reverse security concept of the principality's lack of security.
The principality of the Principality chooses Lapland as the object of conflict. Its core goal is to transfer domestic conflicts through external conflicts, and to gain time and cohesion for the painful period of industrial upgrading and social transformation. The ultimate goal of industrial upgrading and social transformation is for the future. Battle with the Empire.
Generally speaking, it was the empire that was too strong and ambitious, making the principality seriously insecure and had to prepare for future wars. However, considering the original national strategy and historical memory of the Principality, it was their tradition to "use space for time" and "use scorched earth tactics and vast space to force the enemy to disperse their forces and counterattack when their logistics and combat effectiveness reached their limits." Regardless of whether the opponent is an empire or the past Charlemagne and other countries, this set of strategies is consistent, saying that it is purely caused by the pressure of the empire, and it is inevitably misleading.
"Under the current background, allowing foreign soldiers to take control of your country's military is likely to create the impression of a'military alliance against the Principality', which will seriously stimulate the Principality, and the subsequent chain reaction is likely to cause the situation to slide in an unpredictable direction. In the worst case—"
"Is World War?"
Marshal Mannerheim sunk his body into a leather office chair. It has never been imagined as a rare year, always with a trace of a sly and sly face in his solemnity. For the first time, he showed some sincere and almost imperceptible comfort.
"I have to say that the empire did send an excellent military adviser. It was better than expected."
"You have been praised."
Seemingly uncomfortable with the sudden praise, Parsifal scratched his hair shyly. Just looking at the big boy, he could not be connected with the long-term vision and keen insight he had a half-minute ago. It is even more impossible to draw an equal sign with the "undefeated magician" who is on the battlefield.
His Excellency Marshal Mannerheim is also an inexhaustible veteran of his own, and his fifty years of military experience has given him an excellent eye-catching vision and a fair style of dealing with people. In the face of a foreign officer, he has no need and does not intend to give the necessary evaluation above or below.
"You are too modest, Major General Parsifal. Not everyone can build such a prominent Wu Xun at your age, carrying the Major General's badge, nor is it that everyone can remain sensible, Objectively. It’s not polite to say, how many guys need to turn ambition and vigor into exaggerated, can really face reality, down to earth-that is, like you, there are always very few. Not only our army, The Principality Army, the Albion Army, the past Charlemagne Army, the Castile Army... I am afraid that in your country’s army, I am afraid you are also a rare exception."
If it were not for the two of them in the office, Parsifal almost jumped up and fled.
The speech of His Excellency Marshal not only caused his shame to be extremely inflated, but also had a high degree of sensitivity and danger. If it was listened to by someone who was interested... I believe that the gendarmerie or the Social Order Security Bureau would be happy to let him explain the situation.
It wouldn't matter if he could retire and live his long-awaited retirement in advance. However, the probability of retiring with peace after entering those powerful departments is too low. Even Parsifal did not want to verify whether he was that miracle lucky.
It is never a good idea to pin your destiny on gambling.
Marshal Mannerheim thought so too.
"When I heard that the legendary name is coming, do you know how our young man reacted? They were like the bridegroom who successfully proposed Zhang Luo's wedding the next day, excited, excited, full of fanatical thoughts and far away. The actual longing. The individual fanatics even shouted out the slogan'We can't miss this bus' to see how they screamed on their chests one by one. It was really shameful."
"Understandable, Your Excellency."
Despite being a bit embarrassed, Parsifal’s speech was indeed sincere.
"Military soldiers in the age of peace are just watchdogs"-is it the old Charlemagne who spoke this? Or is it the Imperial Army now? Anyway, for those ambitious and unwilling to endure peace, this sentence is sufficient Said their voices.
It is very difficult for soldiers in peacetime to stand out. For those suffering from "neck disease", "chest pain", and dreaming who want to tie the medal to the neck and hang the chest, the word "peace" itself is a Kind of sin. If Charlieman failed too violently and completely, it would sound the alarm for all countries in the world. Maybe one day someone who wants to be promoted and crazy will imitate the folly of Charlemagne’s deer, because it is difficult for oneself to set off Fighting fire.
Lapland is actually a martial nation, otherwise it is impossible for it to be entangled with the behemoth such as the Principality for hundreds of years, without blood and bravery. But unlike Charlemagne's deer, which is prone to blood and blood, the historical experience of traveling among the powers for hundreds of years. The natural environment in the extreme north makes them better at calm observation and deep thinking than other peoples. Even military aristocrats and officers who longed for Wu Xun knew that they should base their thinking on the overall situation, and they should not destroy the overall pattern because of impulse and private interests.
Generally speaking, they should not be overheated, but this time it is really a special case.
A century-old rare general dispatched by the strongest army in the world, a large number of military advisers, various new weapons, and political guarantees for all countries except the Principality-when the above elements are gathered at the same time, no matter how calm people are, If you want to be in person, the goals that were originally regarded as jokes and delusions will also be regarded as ambitions within reach.
Parsifal did not want to criticize these people and these phenomena, and it was normal to produce a rebound after being suppressed for a long time. In addition, pouring cold water on a group of people on the rise is a risky thing, unless you are the superior of this group of people, or even if you are a military adviser from the empire, the rank is still two levels higher than them, and all advices are issued. With conscience and rational thinking, you will still be treated as a cowardly coward and a coward ready to betray your friendly.
Point to the nose of a group of pigs and tell them: "You are pigs!"-This is really not the attitude that adults should have ~EbookFREE.me~ Not to mention that they have a strong enough government and a reasonable person The veteran marshal who has a deep understanding of the country’s environment and the current international strategic pattern serves as the military commander. Critics such as education are still not his turn to speak with a foreign officer.
"The situation our country is facing is far from being optimistic, nor is it like some people imagine it is'enough to give the principality an unforgettable lesson and draw a full stop to the centuries of grievances.' The wrong step will evolve into a world war situation. We have to be careful, while responding to the increasingly aggressive behavior of the Principality, while cooling the overexpansion of the enthusiasm and imagination of soldiers and civilians."
Marshal Mannerheim sighed in the sky. The veteran who had fought all his life probably did not expect that one day he would complain about a foreign soldier, nor did he think that one day he would rely on a foreign soldier to solve his country's problems. .
The 72-year-old marshal does not know how long he can live. After witnessing the demise of Charlemagne and the rise of the empire, he has been soberly aware that the course of history has fundamentally changed. It will no longer advance according to the past inertia. Without making changes and adapting to changes in the times, Lapland will soon be eliminated by the torrent of history.
To change something that has been deeply entrenched, and to inject some fresh air into the army that is full of mania and twilight, you have to take some extraordinary means and talents who don’t follow common sense...
"Welcome to you again to Lapland, Your Military Adviser, myself and the entire Lapland look forward to the results of your work."
"This is an honour for the xiaguan. We will do our best to look forward to you and your country."
Swallowing the sigh in his heart, Parsifal showed a formal smile.
