Her surprise was not unexpected. He didn't judge her for the brief show of emotion. She was attached to her soldiers, and Martin rewarded loyalty, as similar rewards had been bestowed upon him. "Of course. Speak to him about it when you leave. Take the morning to address your men. They have earned it, as have you. Nasty business cleaning out the foxholes like you've been doing. As for the promotions, send me those names later, and I'll take them into consideration." He knew he'd forget the moment she left. Promoting majors was not the top priority in his mind of late.
Her final request put her ill at ease. He supposed that was to be expected. To go from years of secrecy to full exposure would be uncomfortable. But he needed to see it for himself. As far as he was aware, she was the only soldier in all the army with the power. Maybe Koertig knew of more, maybe they were gathering them to Moscow for a purpose, or maybe they wanted Wolff because she was a colonel. Either way, Martin may never have the chance to see this again.
He unlocked a cabinet under his desk and offered his own sidearm. He trusted Wolff with it, for hell, if he couldn't trust her, he couldn't trust anyone on base.
