Returning to headquarters, Brigadier General Trocch reported to Marshal Saint Arno the decision of the British Command and requested that Marshal Saint Arno approve his participation in the action alongside the navy.
Marshal Saint Arno first glanced at Brigadier General Trocch and then cast a sidelong glance at General Pellissier beside him.
Marshal Saint Arno understood that his adjutant was preparing a contingency for himself.
As Marshal Saint Arno's adjutant, Brigadier General Trocch wouldn't have to worry about his future in the Allied Forces as long as Saint Arno was alive.
However, if something happened to Marshal Saint Arno, the new commander of the Expeditionary Army might marginalize him.
As Marshal Saint Arno's health deteriorated day by day, Brigadier General Trocch naturally had to plan for his own future in advance.
