Captain Capston smiles lightly.

“I'm disappointed you tried to convince me like that. If there's anything I have to do, I can take my personal loss. That's my real duty. Isn't duty more important than duty? ”

“I'm sorry."

The winter apologized frankly, and the captain shook his head.

“There's no need to apologize. I got promoted because of you, so I could get demoted because of you. It's not a solicitation for personal gain. I'm just worried about people. ”

After talking this far, he goes back to the story he first brought up.

“What I said was difficult is the issue of ammunition. You only think about mobilizing troops, but you must have enough ammunition to be combat ready. There's not a lot of ammunition in the squadron to manage itself. Assuming you're right about the Trickster infiltration, the next raid will never be small. ”

“It's not that I haven't considered it……. ”

Winter seemed to be prepared enough just to keep the troops awake.

“If the captured man is up to something, he'll wait for the dawn to become vulnerable. At that time, I thought that the biggest enemy was not the mutant, but the chaos itself. If we're prepared, at least we can avoid chaos. Extra ammunition...... is the only way to get it then. ”

“Some sacrifices are inevitable in some cases. ”

“This is as realistic as it gets. You can't really start a rebellion. ”

“Well, maybe there's a way. ”

The captain ponders for a while, and calls all of his commanding officers to the Inlet Line.

It took a little time to assemble. One of the platoon commanders in the civic area arrived 30 minutes after the initial call.

I don't have much time. Winter repeatedly checked the time. I don't know when it's going to happen. It's best not to explode at all, but be prepared to explode.

Everyone didn't look good. Even in an emergency state, there was a minimum amount of personal time that I wanted to be respected. Christmas Week is the largest holiday in the United States, so it can't be called outside of office hours.

“Ah……. Seeing this guy around, it's something else. ”

Jeffrey sighs. He sighs and rumbles after watching winter. Hassan, maybe he came back from engaging when everyone else was playing.

Of course, that applies to winter too. That's why Jeffrey's grievances didn't last long.

The captain demanded a comment from the winter. Today is the third explanation of the situation. Winter felt a little bored, too.

“…… That's why I want you to stay alert tonight. It's actually not that big a deal. If the attack doesn't come, we're just waiting for one night. I want you to help me. ”

Sergeant Livermann is at large.

“Somehow, I thought the lieutenant had noticed something strange earlier. You were worried about that. To be honest, I think it's a bit much.... ”

I wanted to, but I didn't.

“If it wasn't for you, my platoon would have died in the hospital. When everyone was careless or thinking wrong, the lieutenant made the right decision on his own. I'm going to believe it again.”

“Thank you, Sergeant. ”

Generally, deputies easily expressed their support. Unlike the Korean military, which starts with the sergeant, the U.S. military's deputy commander is a rank that goes up from training troops. As a thoroughly skilled group, the mindset was also very practical.

Soldiers and deputies often friction with senior units beyond the radio in action. It was their responsibility to grieve that they didn't know the scene at all. So it might be easier to understand winter.

Sergeant Pierce, the deputy superintendent, also took Winter's side.

“Sun added that true leaders lead by example, not power. A good soldier feels quite right. Can't ignore your opinion, young lieutenant. even after everything we've done so far. ”

Sun Chu? Oh, grandson. The winter that was wandering around for a while felt a little awkward. I don't think that's what the grandson example means. Still, I don't think I need to break my boss's mood.

‘I think he's proud that he learned a great proverb.... ’

The boss insisted on a blunt expression, but there was a slight buried emotion. It is a winter observation that is good at looking after people.

Anyone has an appetite to be cool. No matter how serious he is.

As it turns out, the three platoon captains and other executive guards, with the exception of Jeffrey, pondered their position. Sergeant Pierce stares at them silently. This alone made everyone feel burdened. The leader of the U.S. military is higher than the commander, given the scarcity alone.

2nd Platoon Commander McCoy sighs.

“I can't help it. I don't seem to be able to pull my foot out by myself... Let's do it. If it's okay, we'll just sleep through the night. He said that if the incident doesn't happen, there won't be any risk.... I think that's kind of creepy. ”

With that in mind, the rest agree. Lieutenant Sullivan scratches his head.

“I'm ‘home alone’ on TV... ”

“ ……. ”

Do Americans get to spend Christmas with Kevin?

Well, it's home.

Last but not least, the commander agreed.

“I haven't had a moment's rest since I heard this story. Don't you keep worrying and complaining? I can't sleep when I lie down. I'll come with you at night. ”

Consistent opinions, Lieutenant Capston gained attention.

“The problem is ammunition. Without ammunition, no matter how rigorous the other preparations may be, Is there any way to get the ammo out of here without going through the control room? ”

It was actually a question I asked Sergeant Pierce. The boss nods.

“I'll try.”

“How?”

“Let's just say we're pre-issuing the marksmanship ammunition for tomorrow. Filling out paperwork later among practitioners...... You may not like it, but it's common among us. Well, these days, it's an emergency, so ammo comes out all the time. It loosens up what you do most often. ”

We, of course, refer to the rank of Deputy Commissioner.

He had a point. Just as winter had just come into warfare, it was a city that used ammunition day and night and never tried.

It does not collect the ammo left over from operations per day, it is requested and received in the amount needed, and it is managed separately by a squadron. I wanted to keep strict procedures as usual, but I couldn't.

Instead, keep a thorough view of the status of the firearm. When it comes to refugees, we have to worry about riots.

“Will that excuse work? Fire drill for Christmas. Who would believe it if we told them we were going to leave it at this hour? ”

When the captain has a skeptical reaction, the boss smiles softly.

“The captain's jammed up. He's so famous, he'll believe it when he talks back to the commander. I apologize in advance for what I said. ”

“ ……. ”

Captain Capston spotted the temple.

Still, it was easy to say, but it was never going to be easy. I have a relationship with my boss, so I can try.

The boss turns the conversation to winter.

“Lieutenant Bison needs your help, too. ”

“Yes? Me? ”

“The magazine guard is in charge of Abel's platoon. Your babies really like you, so it'll be a lot easier if you come with them. ”

It's like a horse with a thorough understanding of the atmosphere among soldiers. Winter reminded me of Corporal Amy, who guarded the checkpoint of the Chinese Minuteman District.

"Be careful, if you're bitten by a rabid dog, our whole squad might go crazy.

‘Depending on the person, if you explain it as it is, it is likely to help. ’

Winter nods favorably.

“Yes, I think so. I understand.”

With little time left, the story proceeded at a very rapid rate as everyone was positioned. The commanding officer rushes out to rally the troops. The remaining executives embark on the construction bulb.

“Since we don't know anything about the enemy's plans, we should focus on contingencies, with the exception of the key ones. We should be satisfied enough to allocate a settlement or boundary area to occupy at the same time. ”

The lieutenant opens up the camp map, and the boss says yes.

“Never mind. Once the battle starts, the plan is to die first. ”

If you draw a parallel line on the map, it has been concluded that initial troop deployment is possible within 3 minutes, regardless of whether the situation starts in any direction, assuming it reacts properly.

“What about your troops? ”

The captain asked winter for his opinion.

“I don't think it's possible to expose them to the front because they lack practical experience. Why don't we set it up together and use it to calm down the USS Refugee Zone? ”

“I agree, that's a good idea. ”

As I said before, chaos may be our greatest enemy. Given the population density of the refugee area, if people panic, they will be overwhelmed.

Or even if a refugee group is trying to escape. The defensive line can be trampled from behind.

It's too much to handle as a "Winter Alliance" combat party in only two squads.

“The chances of encountering an enemy are slim, but it won't be an easy task. ”

Winter understands his concerns.

“There were soldiers guarding the original checkpoint. I wish I could warn them in advance. I'm going to warn refugees in advance, as far as my influence is concerned. ”

“That's more important than ammunition. Go straight ahead. We'll take care of the rest. ”

Then Sergeant Pierce stepped in.

“Then, Master Bison, come to the ammo magazine after you work. ”

“Very well. I'll be quick. ”

According to the clock, it was only thirty minutes before midnight. As winter rushes forward, the soldiers of Checkpoint look at you in mysterious frenzy.

The large tent that left hours ago was still a commotion. There are so many people who don't even know it's winter. However, I recognized winter in one fell swoop. I feel very welcome.

“You're back. I don't know what happened, but good work." ”

Winter shakes her head.

“It's not over yet. ”

“Yes?”

“Chief Jang. Gather all alliance executives. Including Yura and Jin-seok. ”

Jang Cheol was embarrassed to read the atmosphere of winter. It was because I had never seen a winter rush before. But I nodded quickly and summoned the people. When I see this, the crowd is quiet.

Finally, the stranger's face was the placenta. The range of executives was appropriately interpreted by iron. Not bad.

Winter was as compact as possible to convey the situation. Min-won coughed a few times with a solemn face, and Lee Chul also frowned.

“Uh, little boss. So... you're saying there might be an attack at dawn? ”

“Yes, I'm not sure, but I think we need to be careful. Yura and Jin-seok go to the barracks immediately. Arm yourselves and wait in the barracks. Once the ammunition is issued, Charlie's platoon will hook you up with the right people, so do your best to calm down the refugee zone if anything should happen. ”

Yura and Jin still lack their own ability to judge situations. It was imperative that Charlie's platoon be assisted by a commanding officer. Winter's gaze is now on the scene and Min-won.

“And the deputies. ”

Before you say anything, Min Wangi nods.

“It's all right. Leave it. Heheh. The commander can't do everything all the time. You chose me and Deputy Director to work at a time like this. ”

“ ……. ”

Winter was accommodated with a natural smile.

“Okay, I'll trust you both. ”

Now the boy officer runs towards the magazine. Rather than arrive before Sergeant Pierce. The boss who appeared later was a little surprised when he saw winter.

“I didn't think it would be that simple, but you're surprisingly quick. ”

“Good people help me. ”

“Haha.”

The boss smiled briefly and walked ahead of the winter.

The soldiers guarding the ammo depot were also familiar faces. In particular, one person is more knowledgeable. Sergeant Matthew Cohen. He found winter and was a little surprised.

1. Obviously, this novel is written three to five times a week... Why didn't you run away already?

Woohoo? Daily reinforcements? I don't want to sleep with you.

2. The GPS base from the 58th annual division is not actually a GPS base. The soldiers didn't know it very well.

Paste Bait for future development, but it's not time yet.

The coordinates of the facility.

35.735365, 120.753806

The writer will give you a gift to discover who this facility really is.

I mean, aren't we a little short on leads?

Don't worry, the writer started on the same terms, in the preliminary phase. I just found it on a map. What is this? I just looked it up.

Hahahaha. Is there really a right answer? I'm excited.
