As the meeting went underway, Tanya spoke about what we should do during this time of war

"We should come up with a plan that avoids major casualties and suffers tremendous losses during the winter." Tanya said

"That's quite passive. We have the upper hand!"
"You sound like, you have lost your nerve. Are you telling us to retreat?" Two of the norden army officials said

"Not retreat, withdraw. As my sister has said, we need to come up with a plan to avoid major casualties and losses. We need to loosen the strain on the logistics because of the distance by strategically withdrawing. If you don't like how I phrase it then think of it as marching towards the enemy but the other way around." I said

"Major Olivia is right. By withdrawing, I believe this will make a spring offensive and afterwards easier." Tanya said

"True, but..." "Spring?" Two norden officials said

"Hm... Majors Degurechaff's proposal offers a new perspective." General Ludeldorff said as he took a puff from his cigar then blew it to the air and said "What's the borthern army's view on the logistics?"

The norden army started whispering to one another

I sighed and said "May I speak?"

"Of course, Major Olivia. Don't be shy, you can speak what is ever in your mind." General Ludeldorff said with a smile

I smiled and said "Thank you, sir."

I cracked my neck then said "Look, I know you all want victory and to finish the war as fast as possible but you all gotta face reality, the logistics are unstable. That means it would be hard sending you supplies when you're far away. And if you all really plan on a winter offensive, not only the logistics are strained but also our enemies have the advantage in the snow and don't forget that our tanks and soldiers with no winter gear would be frozen on the spot thanks to the cold weather."

"That's why we believe a spring offensive is the best course of action. There's no reason to launch a futile winter campaign that only serves to please our enemy by wasting resources and troops." Tanya said

"You two talk as if you have seen it. What do you say, Logistics Officer?" One of the norden officials said

"Sir! Regrettably, I'm afraid that Majors Degurechaff's remarks are on point... As you know, due to the previous battle, we are now in full control of norden. However, at the same time, the flanks that need to be defended have also increased as well, which is straining our supply line." The Logistics Officer said

"Supply! Logistics! Again?" "Can't you do something about it?" Two norden officials said

"With all due respect, there's nothing we can do. It's a real problem." Tanya said trying to make them feel better

I know Tanya's intentions were good but it gave the opposite effect because from the looks of it the northern army officials are holding in their anger

'Hmmm... I wonder how pissed off can I make them...? Let's just watch for now.' I thought to myself as I just watch Tanya and Lieutenant General Schreise go back and forth agruing one another

In the blue corner is Tanya for the winter campaign is a stupid idea, while in the red is Lieutenant General Schreise for the winter offensive is a brilliant idea

As they continue going back and forth the other norden army officials joined in on the fight not its 1 against... More than 1. With Tanya winning the argument

As the norden official switch tactics from a winter offensive is a brilliant idea to let's feed compliments to the major's wing so she can help us... But it was futile in the end

As Tanya grabbed her cup of coffee and said "In the west our comrades are sipping mud water, tripping over mud mixed with blood and all the while suffering fron hunger and a lack of sleep."

She took a sip from her cup then put it back down and said "Ah! Wonderful. That's some good coffee beans you have here. The north is truly blessed. Oh! Of course, I believe you feel for our comrades just as much as we do."

Lieutenant General Schreise had enough, so he stood up from his chair and hit the table then shouted "Major!! If you insist, go back to the west now!! We don't need a coward in the north!!"

I scoffed and said "That's rich coming from a man who hides behind a wall. You calling us a coward when we have fought in not 1, not 2 but in 3 frontlines, more than once. If that's what you call a coward then what does that make you?"

"SHUT UP!" General Schreise shouted

"Does that represent the common will of the northern army?" Tanya asked as she looked around

... The northern army didn't respond

"Then we shall take our leave." Tanya said as she makes her way out the door with me following behind her

But before I leave, I said looking at the northern army and said "We may be young and get told that we should act our age by a lot of people but I think you lot are better of being told that rather than us... Bye."

"Well now, you all seem to hold the two youngsters in high regard. We of the general staff are quite proud of those two." I said with a smile on my face then I heard General Schreise laughing

"Major Olivia really knows how to take care of herself. Hahahaha."

"Her rebuttals were unreal. I can't believe someone would say that to a higher ranking officer like that."

"Major Olivia is a... Unique girl but in a good way... So, shall we procceed with the plan?" I said

"Of course, the commando flight mage wing 203 is required in the plan we drafted."

"If we can launch an airborne operation of airdropping mages, the issues raised right now can largely be solved. Please approve." I said

"I think, you went to far, Ollie." Tanya said as she petted ace

"Oh please, General Ludeldorff gave me the green sign." I said as I pulled out Sir Quackington to play with ace

"How can you be so sure of that?" Tanya asked

"Easy, I recorded him saying it with my orb." I said as I sat next to ace

"When did you do that?" Tanya asked

"Before I asked for permission to talk. Now is not the time to be asking question relating to work, instead ask question to the greatest detectives in all the empire! Sir Quackington and Ace The Cat!"

"Ace is a dog, Ollie."

"Well, ace is having an identity crisis. Aren't you ace?"

"Woof Woof!"
