These people are the specific decision-makers in numerous battles throughout the entire campaign. Even Hastings cannot intervene in the frontline combat.
What they need to control is only the overall picture, the grand strategy, interpreting the entire situation and issuing combat orders based on their interpretations, and then deploying commands for the most crucial battles. The coordination and guidance of lower-level combat units, however, fall to the large staff department and grassroots officers.

Pei Litong becomes more and more alarmed.
