Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Responsibility and Accountability
"You came to Sage Forest as a freshman to participate in the actual combat exercise? Since you are studying here in secret, why don't you return to the team now?" Tuttle reacted quickly.
It has to be said that anyone who can become a legion commander must have a very sharp and flexible mind.
"There was a small special situation that prevented me from joining up in time, so I need your help, General Tuttle. The general reason is that I found a cave to hide, and was fortunately rescued by your 17th Army and my injuries were healed." Su Lian said.
This was one of the main reasons he was here, being saved by the army was a good reason.
"You want me to send a message to Pole Star Academy, right? That's no problem, it's a piece of cake." Tattle nodded and understood what Su Lian meant.
at the same time.
"I'll ask someone to send it later. I'll arrange the treatment for you now." Tattle was ready to call someone, although he was a little reluctant.
"There's no rush. The church and the accompanying pastor should be with those in need now. Mine is just a minor injury." Su Lian.
Tuttle was slightly stunned.
This kid is pretty good. I thought the prince's grandson would be a little spoiled, but he actually knows to give priority to medical treatment for the wounded instead of relying on his status to cause trouble.
but...
It's just a minor injury, quite interesting.
High-level warriors cannot survive just minor injuries in an eighth-level magic disaster.
…
"But since the general is willing to help, I would like to thank you in advance." Su Lian said with a faint smile.
"No, we should thank your grandfather for his magic car. If Lord Ersha had not obtained permission from His Majesty the King and built such a terrifying means of transportation, I'm afraid this magical disaster would not have been stopped in time, and would have affected more surrounding villages and towns, causing heavy casualties and destruction." Tattle said with some relief.
"About the magic car, which is also the main purpose of my coming here." Su Lian.
"Oh?" Tuttle was a little surprised.
Su Lian is only twelve years old? What serious business can he have with a terrifying means of transportation like the Magic Vehicle?
"First of all, although I know I shouldn't say this now, I'll still explain it to avoid this kind of situation in the future."
"Don't you feel a little ashamed about the casualties this time?"
"His Excellency General Tuttle Tommy."
Su Lian said with a slightly cold tone!
"What do you mean? How dare you question the legion commander!" The secretary was furious!
He had just finished reporting the casualties and was already in a very heavy mood, but Su Lian actually said something like this! ?
"Yeah." Tuttle glared at the secretary, signaling him to calm down.
The secretary also lowered his head slightly and did not continue speaking.
"You say." Tuttle was very calm about this.
Su Lian couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart. He was worthy of being a general who could command tens of thousands of people, and he could still keep a calm expression like this.
"Although the magic trains have just started to be built across the country, and except for our Peter Holy Territory, they are all in the trial operation stage or have just passed, not to mention arranging military transport drills. However, our estimated and actual operating data on the carrying capacity should have been reported to the Central Military Department and distributed to each group army and even brigade and battalion level."
"Everything is clearly marked. The standard load capacity of a single-section magic train with cargo boxes is 60 tons. This time, Grandpa will arrange an open train with only a chassis for you, and the upper limit of its load capacity is 70 tons."
"The fully equipped Frost Blade Cavalry currently in service weighs only 15 tons, and three of them in a carriage still have 25 tons of load space."
"But it's obvious!"
"You didn't bring the heavy infantry equipment of the army group this time, right? Did you think it was too far from Kesfulo to Shalokovo and too tiring to carry, or did you think the magic vehicle couldn't hold it all?"
Su Lian questioned.
He knew that the casualties were heavy, and he only needed his mental power to cover the temporary base to understand that, but he also quickly understood the reason!
That is, due to unknown reasons, the 15th Army was not fully equipped with heavy equipment!
…
Tuttle looked at Su Lian in silence for a while, then took a deep breath.
"I'm so sorry, Lord Su Lian!"
"I admit that when I first received the report, I was disdainful of the Magic Vehicle's carrying capacity and thought it was just an exaggeration by Prince Ersha for the sake of honor."
"That's why, in order to ensure that the trial operation route is within the carrying capacity of my understanding and arrive at the disaster site safely and in a timely manner, I ordered the heavy infantry to abandon some of their weapons in Sharokov, and even removed some of the knights' defensive armor."
"This is my fault!"
"I will also explain this in detail in my subsequent self-report and take the initiative to plead guilty to the Central Military Department!"
Tuttle bowed his head and apologized in a very serious tone!
That's right!
From the beginning, he did not fully accept this sudden appearance of transportation and scoffed at the description of its transportation capabilities.
You know, many things have always been exaggerated at the beginning of promotion, and the carrying capacity of the magic car itself is too incredible for traditional horse-drawn carriages, which caused most generals in the army to disdain the report on the magic car.
There were even some generals who didn't even take a look at it. They only knew that there seemed to be some means with large transportation capabilities deployed across the country, but they had no idea about the rest.
Tuttle watched it, but questioned its authenticity!
Even though Ersha had given the riding standards, I still reduced the amount of equipment I carried based on my personal understanding.
He will be primarily responsible for the casualties of soldiers and the loss of knights!
"Captain Tuttle..." The secretary was a little unbelievable.
He actually used the honorific "Your Excellency" to address Su Lian and very clearly admitted his mistake!
…
"Hmph, I have no ability to blame you, General. I'm just dissatisfied with your doubts about my magic car. What you do next is your own business." Su Lian snorted coldly.
But in his words, he still retained the respectful title for Tuttle, after all, he was still the younger generation.
"I will remember this failure and I am once again very sorry for my arrogant questioning!" Tuttle said.
He admitted his mistake very frankly, which was somewhat unexpected by Su Lian.
"Okay, I will tell grandpa. Let's get back to the matter of the magic car. After this incident, what do you think of the magic car?" Su Lian asked.
"It is the strongest and most perfect means of transportation in the world, bar none!" Tuttle answered very quickly and decisively.
This actually made Su Lian pause slightly.
"Your transformation is a bit too big..." Su Lian.
"I have been completely convinced by the magic car. Any doubts cannot be shaken in the face of absolute facts!" Tuttle.
"It's really impressive and shocking," the secretary also added.
Su Lian's heart was slightly moved.
A rational pragmatist?
It seems that the actual effect has been fully achieved. Although we should not have such thoughts, we have to say that this magic disaster is indeed beneficial. From now on, the planning of magic vehicles in the kingdom will be approved by the military and there will be no doubts!
This Tuttle is also a very good guy. He is straightforward, calm and responsible in major matters. He is a rare existence in the army who only want to get by in a stable country.
The inner evaluation is also rising very well.
Just when Su Lian was about to say something...
"Hurry up and report. I am the honorary professor of the Knight Research Institute and the professor of potions and mechanics at Polaris Academy. I want to see your legion commander now!"
There were some discordant noises coming from outside the tent.
