Moreover, just by reclaiming the 1844th outpost line, Davis could have been promoted to general. However, for a long time, he merely served as a colonel staff officer.
Given what Kent Weis had instructed him, this colonel staff officer began to explain.
"We aren't confident in holding the regained ground. Based on intelligence feedback from the reconnaissance satellites, the Imperial force this time is around three hundred thousand, roughly the scale of three army groups. Hence, we hope to delay the Imperial advance this way, buying us more time to occupy the frontline, repair, and build defensive fortifications. Only then can we have a chance to continue regaining lost grounds, or even breach the Imperial's western frontline at Scarred Gorge and destroy their transition base there in one fell swoop."
The colonel staff officer from the command post paused briefly to allow those at the land command to digest his words before resuming his explanation.
