Anning quickly stood up, interrupting Mirabeau loudly: "Mr. Mirabeau, hold on a moment! Commander Lafayette, are you not aware that my troop is merely a two-hundred-man Artillery detachment?"
Lafayette smiled faintly: "Of course, you will be given infantry. I plan to dispatch two thousand infantry soldiers to form the Rebel Suppression Army together with your Artillery."
Anning: "Wait a minute! Didn't Captain Bell just now..."
"Captain Bell." Lafayette corrected Anning with a smile.
"Didn't Captain Bell just say that their local Self-Defense Army has nearly a thousand men? A thousand men's force was easily defeated, don't you think it's a bit weak for me to suppress the rebellion with just these troops?"
"You will have two thousand men, twice the size of the Liberville local forces! And you have Artillery too." Lafayette maintained his smile, "What, do you find these forces insufficient?"
Anning: "I find it insufficient, give me another eight thousand men."
