"Since we are going to fight in Paratu, we must understand the battle strategies of the Paratu People." Cornelius explained rare verbosity: "Moreover, some of the strategies the Red River Tribe used to defeat the Paratu Expeditionary Force are also worth learning from."
Fritz felt a bitterness in his mouth, but nonetheless saluted stiffly: "Yes... departure? When?"
"Not determined yet, you'll know as soon as it's confirmed."
"Who are the other officers of the Southern Army?"
"No 'famous generals'," Cornelius displayed his mocking smile again, "those with some background have all managed to get into the Western Front Army."
Fritz didn't know what to say; he neither wanted to, nor had the right to, pass judgments on other officers like Cornelius, so he chose silence.
"But don't worry, the Southern Army isn't full of incompetents either." Cornelius calmly added: "Though few in number, each one was carefully selected by me."
Fritz softly asked: "Carefully selected 'like me'?"
