Captains

The air on the front lines is thick with the scent of gunpowder and determination. After a briefing and greetings from field commanders, you've been summoned to an emergency meeting. The situation has escalated, and your strategic genius is needed immediately.

You chair a meeting at field headquarters. The chief of intelligence, the security commander, the head of operations, and other officers are seated at the table. The atmosphere is electric. Your composure, honed by years of service, gives you a calm demeanor.

"General," the strategist began, unfolding the tactical display. "The enemy is preparing to attack on three fronts. Here's our plan..."

He was pointing out critical points on the tactical map, plotting the trajectories of the attack. But you noticed that the heavy artillery commander and the mechanized forces commander weren't listening. Their gazes were fixed on you, your uniform, your movements. A slight blush touched their cheeks when you asked, "How great, in your opinion, is the risk of a flank breakthrough?"

"The risk in this sector is extremely low," the strategist replied. "However, if we strengthen our position at 170, we can eliminate this factor entirely. This will require a redeployment of reserves..."

You nodded, your gaze lingering only briefly on the captains. Confusion flashed in their eyes, then gave way to wary attention.
