Chapter 40 Debriefing
the next day.

Imperial Third Army, General Staff Meeting Room.

The long oval table was packed with people. Everyone who could sit here had the rank of brigadier general or above. Their faces showed determination, kindness, or calmness... They were the core leadership of the Third Army.

without any exaggeration.

If all the people here were wiped out at once, the entire third group would be paralyzed in an instant.

"Cough cough."

A cough was heard and the conference room fell silent.

The person who coughed was the commander-in-chief of the Third Army who was sitting in the main seat. He looked thin and sickly, and even his right hand holding a cigar was trembling slightly. This was General Foster Nolan, who was about 55 years old.

He is not a nobleman.

But he has the most noble surname in the entire empire, 'Nuolan'.

Even the current royal family does not have such a noble surname.

Using the name of the empire as one's surname is the noblest surname that can only be bestowed by the head of the empire, and only those founding generals who have made outstanding contributions to the revival of the empire are qualified to have.

This surname cannot be inherited.

But the existence that is granted the surname will live with the glory of the empire.

Their names will be remembered forever by the Empire. As long as they stand on the Empire's territory, no unit or individual will be qualified to point weapons at them, even if they have committed unforgivable crimes.

The last name is Nolan.

This is the noblest surname in the empire and also the highest-level medal. It is worthy of any soldier's lifelong struggle.

There are less than 5 people who have been given the surname 'Nuolan', including the head of state.

"Everyone."

Foster squinted his eyes and said, "I'm sure you all understand the reason why I hurriedly called you all here today from the information on the desk. Do you have any questions about today's topic?"

A bespectacled officer with the rank of brigadier general raised his hand.

"Deputy Chief of Staff, go ahead."

The Brigadier General put down the documents in his hand and said, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I believe that all the combat plans of the 3rd Regiment of Division Commander Olcott Owen were in compliance with the Imperial Special Operations Regulations. Under the circumstances at the time, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. The main reason for the failure of the mission was not the 3rd Regiment. I think they should be rewarded, not punished."

"Are you kidding me?"

The commander of the 3rd Division stood up and said, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was Olcott Owen's 3rd Regiment who wanted to take all the credit. If they had reported it to the military headquarters immediately, how could such a big mistake have occurred? Now you tell me whether it should be a reward or not? Are you all crazy, the people in the General Staff?"

"General Lucas, please be careful with your words."

A gentle lieutenant general exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Can't we, the people of the General Staff, see through the depth of the 3rd Regiment's combat plan? If we resolutely act according to the plan of the 3rd Regiment's staff, then how can a reinforced regiment not be able to take over the contact points in the northern area? If this task is given to your 3rd Division, Lucas, do you still have to send out an entire division? Or is your division not even as good as a regiment-level unit of the 7th Division?"

"you!"

Lucas wanted to speak more, but was interrupted by the commander of the 7th Division, Olcott Owen: "The 3rd Regiment is my unit. Although they made the decision on their own, everything is in compliance with the regulations. Even if I knew about this, I would let the 3rd Regiment complete the mission independently. As for the failure of the mission, our 7th Division will not bear the blame."

As he said this, he glanced at Raglan.

Raglan sighed, stood up, and said to the commander-in-chief, "Your Excellency Commander, I don't want to shirk responsibility for this matter. The main fault is indeed mine. I am willing to accept any punishment."

"Raglan, you..."

As a close friend of Raglan, Lucas slammed the table and said, "Commander, although Raglan was wrong, I think the main responsibility for this matter lies with Olcott Owen's 3rd Regiment for overestimating its capabilities." "Ahem."

Foster coughed twice, his eyes narrowed as if he had just woken up from a dream. "My fellow officers, please be patient. Let's first listen to the performance report of the head of the 3rd Regiment."

The conference room door was opened.

The regimental commander, Gunther Burton, walked in, saluted, and said, "Major Gunther Burton of the 7rd Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 3th Division, reports to the Commander-in-Chief and all the generals."

"Gunther, you've worked hard."

The commander of the 7th Division, Olcott Owen, smiled and said, "Let's start the performance report now. Try to be as detailed as possible to prevent some people from finding faults and putting all the blame on our 7th Division."

After saying this, Olcott Owen glanced at Lucas with an ambiguous gaze.

"Yes, Master."

Ganser stood at attention and began his job report: "The first phase of our regiment's mission was secretly carried out by Warrant Officer Vega, and the mission was completed 100%. We successfully obtained the United Kingdom Spy Organization's "Karenian Contact Map 1", which contains the addresses of all the contact points of the United Kingdom Spy Organization in the northern region of Karenian."

After a pause, Ganser continued, "Based on the 100% completion of the first phase of the mission, the second phase of the cleansing mission was officially implemented yesterday. According to the combat plan formulated by the regiment staff, we were going to complete the mission before 23:59 last night, but we were blocked by General Raglan, the commander of the 5th Division, which led to loopholes in the combat plan..."

“Major!”

Lucas interrupted Gunther in dissatisfaction: "Are you trying to put all the blame on Raglan?"

"I don't dare, my subordinates."

Ganser replied calmly, "I am just reporting the truth. All the truth is recorded in the video crystal. If you have any questions about this matter, you can go to the archives to check the relevant records at any time."

"Lucas, be quiet. Major Gunther, please continue with your report." Commander-in-Chief Foster knocked on the table and said.

"Yes."

Ganser continued to make a report: "Due to the loopholes in the combat plan, our regiment headquarters immediately activated the emergency plan and accelerated the execution of the large-scale cleansing mission. As of 23:59 last night, our regiment has destroyed 143 contact points, killed more than 4000 related spies, recovered 972 related documents, and another 173 contact points were burned. Although it is impossible to assess the losses, all contact points in the northern area of ​​Kareni have been cleared, and no new contact points have been found for the time being. The total completion rate of the mission is 70%."

clap clap.

The commander-in-chief applauded, "Major, the Empire is proud of you. Not to mention the losses caused by your mistakes, you were able to poke all the rat nests in the North District with your own strength. No one can deny this achievement. The military will not let soldiers loyal to the Empire suffer. Do you have any requests?"

"I dare not take credit for it."

Gunther said in panic, "The plan has finally been flawed. This is due to my lack of consideration. I hope the commander will punish me."

"Gunther, speak with confidence."

Olcott Owen smiled and said, "Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, will make your own judgment on who is right and who is wrong in this matter. Since you are asked to make a request, just make one. However, please do not mention requests for promotion here. This is a private matter of our division. Please do not trouble Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, for such a trivial matter."

"Yes, Master."

Gunther took a deep breath and said in a resounding voice, "During this city-level mission, Warrant Officer Vega of the 232nd Company found the "Karenian Contact Map 1" on his own. He also led the way and provided support during the Great Purge. I request that the military evaluate Warrant Officer Vega's eligibility for the 'Imperial Wings' medal."

"I object!"

Major General Raglan, who was waiting for the commander's decision, suddenly stood up excitedly.
