Charleroi, Major General Fred's command center was set up in a steel factory by the River Somme.
This was Major General Fred's choice, fearing that a command center set up in obvious locations like a villa or city hall would be "pinpointed and eliminated" by Shire's bombers.
After all, this is Belgium, where everywhere people with eyes filled with hatred are staring at the German Army.
They would leak information to the guerrillas, who in turn would inform Shire, and then bombers would swarm in.
However, Major General Fred still felt uneasy even inside the steel factory, pacing anxiously in front of his desk, occasionally standing still to stare at the map, trying to find a suitable direction for breaking out.
West?
Or south?
Major General Fred leaned towards the south.
Because the west is a vast primeval forest, and with the warming weather, it's the time for venomous insects and beasts to come out of hibernation.
