Chapter 17 Brothers’ Ambition

In Lynn's understanding, although Clausewitz's "About War" is summarized based on the 18th century Napoleonic War, it successfully used the dialectics of classical philosophy to discuss and analyze war, especially the discussions such as "war is nothing more than the continuation of politics through another means". It is a work that deeply analyzes war from a strategic height. As for "The Art of War", in his eyes, it is profound and mysterious. He has been exposed since childhood and has been able to memorize many war strategies and military strategies, but it is still successfully applied in reality.

There are only a few, but I think it is because of the understanding. Over the past few months, Lynn's German ability has improved rapidly. His mere English-German dictionary and German daily conversations can no longer satisfy his desire for knowledge. In this "sanctuary" where information circulation is artificially restricted, Bachchamotchig sent these two military books is just the right time - while enhancing German's written reading and writing skills, Lynn also strengthened his military insights and professional vision, Lynn kept the mysteries hidden behind the appearance and studied them seriously.

"Hey, Chief Galgo, is it so fascinating to read books?"

When the familiar voice sounded in my ears, it was almost dusk. Of course, Lynn could only determine the time by reading on his watch. The light outside the ward was still so "white and flawless". How could there be clouds and sunsets?

Seeing that his brothers all appeared, Lynn quickly put down the book and said in surprise: "Oh! Gordon, Brewer, Carl, Marcos, Noah, and Joseph, you are all here! I thought you had forgotten me!"

"How is that possible! You are our eternal commander!" Wolflum grinned, revealing a mouthful of smoke-yellow teeth. He was wearing an unprecedented gray-white block camouflage combat uniform. The military cap similar to a mountain hat is also in the same color, like it is specially designed for Nordic cold zone combat. I think this huge and secret base is also equipped with a production department dedicated to clothing and clothing, and the operators should also be relatively young women!

Among the people, Tanze was hospitalized like Linn, so she was wearing the new military uniform she changed when she entered the base, and the rest were dressed like Wolfrum. Techmer was still standing behind Tanze, but laughed and made faces at Linn: "Yes, sir, how could we forget the oath we made!"

When it comes to oaths, everyone looked proud, but Joseph Frederick stood aside with a little embarrassed. Lynn noticed this and remembered that he did not pull the newcomer into the "Brother's Oath" because he was safe. He fought hard along the way, and Frederick also showed courage and will worthy of recognition. In addition, Tchmere had already spoken, so he signaled him to walk to him, took his hand and said, "Sorry, Joseph

Husband, we were not familiar with you at that time, and it was of great importance, so we did not tell you the truth. You should also see along the way that we did not regard you as an outsider, but the most dangerous task was borne by ourselves. Today, since we have been able to gather here again... Joseph, if you want, we sincerely hope that you can make up for this vow. No matter what dangers or difficulties you encounter in the future, we are trustworthy brothers!"

"Yes, Joseph!" Wolfrum, who had been in the army for the longest time, patted the young partner who had been promoted from Private to Private, and helped Lin Neng's words: "We were afraid that you would not understand our decision at the time and mistakenly thought that we were going to flee the front without authorization. Even if we were willing to explain, you might not be willing to give us trust. So we decided to hide it temporarily!"

Frederick's expression seemed very complicated at this moment. He lowered his head and did not look at anyone. After a long time, he spoke: "I do not have the wisdom and courage of Chief Galgo, the steady and calmness of Gordon, and the precise judgment of Noah. I am just an ordinary person, but... the reason I chose to join you was because I admire your spirit of unity and unyieldingness. If you were just out of mercy, then I would rather choose to be alone!"

"Follower!" Lynn said with a smile, "There is no mercy on the battlefield. You have won the recognition of all of us with your own performance. We also hope that your performance can be recognized by you sincerely!"

Frederick finally looked at Lin Neng, looking for the answer he wanted from the other party's unwavering and kind eyes. Then, he turned his head sideways, swept his eyes over every familiar face around him, and finally returned to Lin Neng and said, "I am willing to swear!"

Although Lin Neng was happy, at this time, many colleagues had already cast curious eyes on the huge ward. Lin Neng didn't want this small group to be the target of public criticism, so he said to Frederick: "Okay, let me say something, just follow me and whisper!"

Frederick nodded.

"Our blood is merged into one place, and our destiny is closely connected... In the face of hardships, I will never abandon any brother... In the face of temptation, I will never abandon any brother!"

The two of them repeated the oath that they kept in mind in a small voice, and Lynn nodded and said, "From now on, Joseph, you will be proud of us, our loyal and brave brothers in this life!"

Frederick smiled, smiling as brightly as his companions around him.

After saying that, Brewer picked up the book Lynn had just read and sighed: "Ha, "On War", the officer is indeed an officer, and the contact level is different!"

He made fun of this, and there was no malice. Lin En turned his head to look at the companion wearing the corporal armband with a smile, and said, "This is given by an old friend. I can take care of my heart when I recover from my injuries, so as not to stare at the beautiful nurses and ladies all day long!"

This was said loudly, and a nurse happened to walk past the side, attracting the gaze of Wolfrum and others. His face suddenly turned red and he accelerated his pace and walked away.

The soldiers exchanged glances with each other and laughed together.

Such laughter scenes have never appeared during the 167th Night Battle Team or the 11th Night Battle Task Force in Berlin, which also makes Lynn feel very pleased.

"Okay, guys! How are you guys? Today is the first day of training, right?"

"Yes, we got our new military uniform last night and went to the training ground this morning. You may not know the scale and characteristics of the combat suit company!" Frederick told Lynn proudly, "We are the most powerful company in the world. No army can beat us on the same scale!"

"Is that right?" Lynn asked with a smile, hoping that this was not just a psychological illusion formed by publicity and striking - thinking of this, the first thing he went to see was Wolfrum, a relatively experienced veteran who stood with a smile, didn't seem to agree with it.

Obviously because he just joined the gang, Frederick's mood seemed particularly high. He said: "Every equipped combat company is equipped with an extremely elite Leopard tank platoon, a self-propelled artillery platoon and two armored infantry platoons. All personnel are mechanized, with assault rifles as a basic weapon, equipped with new infantry anti-tank rockets. In addition to Leopard tanks, No. 4 assault guns and armored personnel carriers, there are also new air defense combat vehicles!"

"Great!" Lin Neng responded with a smile, without saying a word. Such a company's strength is naturally stronger than that of the company-level troops of the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain. However, the biggest lesson this war has brought to Germany is to not pay attention to quality and ignore quantity, attach importance to tactics and despise strategy. It is impossible for a few elite troops to defeat opponents several times or even dozens of times their own on the front battlefield. Of course, such elite troops are not useless, just like the German team limited to 100,000 people after the defeat of a war. The retained elites become the backbone force for the expansion and rise of the National Defense Forces in the future. As long as these officers and soldiers now master the skills of using new mechanized troops, once they get another chance, they will definitely become the soul of the army's reconstruction.

"Sir, the officials said that more new weapons are still under development. It won't take long to get our technical level far ahead of any other country!" Brewer added this tone of his tone, but those who are familiar with him know that he holds a tone of disdain and disbelief, otherwise, he would have been speaking with a brisk and shiny look.

Lynn thought about it and was not good to be too optimistic, but it was not good to always have a pessimistic attitude. Therefore, he picked up "War Discussion" and "The Art of War" and was as pious as holding the Bible: "Brothers, I said before that failure is only temporary, and we will win the victory of the next war, but... this requires us to calmly reflect. The failure of two consecutive wars is not accidental. What we lack is not just good luck! As time goes by, not only our technology will improve rapidly, but our enemies are the same. So in the days to come, I hope everyone can master new weapons, new tactics, and think more and think more!"

Wolfrum, Noah, Tanze and Frederick all nodded, but Brewer turned his head quietly and looked out the window. There was neither sea view nor clothes and quilt drying, and he could only see the wounded and female nurses walking back and forth. As for Tchimeer, he seemed to be worried and burdened by such a reminder. What he thought might be to live a step-by-step life, rather than spending too much effort in military training that would not be effective in the short term.

After chatting for a quarter of an hour, everyone had to return to the "Honey Crop", which was about two kilometers away from the hospital, connected by a spacious passage. Before leaving, Brewer deliberately dragged the person to the end. Seeing that the others were almost at the door, he bent down and asked Lynn in a low voice: "Sir, do you really think there is a future for us to stay here?"

Lynn knew that Brewer did not act sternly like most Germans. He showed a flexible mind and a strong desire to change his destiny from the beginning. If he was allowed to live a long and monotonous life here as an ordinary soldier, it would not be his own wish. Thinking of the strategic staff and direct troops revealed by Motridge, he said to Brewer: "Of course our ideal is not to spend the rest of his life in this cave. I believe this is not the true wish of the head of state. But we know too little now and the role we can play is still very limited. Work hard and seize every opportunity, and we will eventually regain the power to walk in the sun!
