Chapter 193 Post-War Summary
Li Puyu, who had just finished arranging the affairs of Madagascar, was in a good mood. I was thinking about going to Zhou Yanfang to flirt, but after receiving a telegram from Victor, the commander of the Third Army, that good mood suddenly disappeared.
One of his main regiments was actually eaten clean overnight by the British and French forces that had been disabled, and this was the first time since he founded the African People's Liberation Army.
For this reason, Li Puyu suddenly threw the telegram on the ground in a fit of rage, and roared: "Victor." Lao Tzu dismisses you. A main regiment was exploited by the British and French troops because of your momentary laxity, and a night attack lost a main regiment. Nearly two thousand people. ”
At this moment, Lisa on the screen came out and said, "Hehe, it's very good." You are fighting birds all year round, and today you were finally pecked by birds, and it was actually the night raid battle you often play that ate a main regiment for you. Is the blame all on Victor? Don't you have one? ”
Li Puyu was dumbfounded after hearing this, and she was thinking about this question repeatedly in her heart. Yes, it has been more than a year since the establishment of the African People's Liberation Army, and it can be said that it has been smooth sailing along the way. There was not a single defeat. This gives the big guy a mentality that I am invincible in the world. This also includes itself.
At this moment, Lisa said again: "Commander, although some words are ugly, I have to say that your mentality is already dangerous. Think about it yourself, you have been submissive from the beginning, and you are afraid that this mentality has changed all the way to the mentality of who else in the world will give up on me. Sooner or later, this will happen. Fortunately, it happened today. You are losing a regiment. But it's better than losing a division or even an army in the later period, right? All you have to do now is make amends, before it's too late. Instead of going crazy here, we should hurry up and give the commanders of the whole army a preventive shot. ”
"Yes, Victor is at fault in this matter, but he is probably not the only commander with this mentality. The other commanders were in a similar mindset, and instead of yelling at him, it was better to sit down and teach the other commanders a lesson. After this incident, I believe that Victor will also mature a lot. Li Puyu said calmly at this time:
"Victor deserves to be punished. The more than 2,000 people in that regiment are gone. I'm afraid it's a thorn in his province. If you don't punish him, I'm afraid he won't be able to heal this wound. Lisa said:
After listening to Lisa's words, Li Puyu picked up her cigarette case from the table, took out a cigarette from it, stuffed it into her mouth, lit it, and said, "Yes, it's not good for anyone to be involved in this matter." A main regiment was still eaten by the other party under their noses overnight. It's also uncomfortable to call me, but this incident is also a wake-up call for us. knocked our mentality of giving up who else in the world was knocked hard. ”
After Li Puyu finished saying this, he picked up the phone on the table and quickly dialed it out, Li Puyu said into the microphone: "Contact me immediately and let Nebron and Jeriola come to my office." ”
In less than ten minutes, Nebron and Jeriola came to Li Puyu's office, and Li Puyu saw the two of them quickly come to his office and said straight to the point: "You already know the telegram from Victor, right?" What do you think? ”
Nibron took over and said: "The message from Victor and I already know about Jeriola, this incident is definitely a major military accident, and it is also a fierce alarm for us, we can be said to have had a smooth journey since the beginning of our establishment, and we have not experienced a single setback." ”
"Yes, this time Victor was eaten by the opposing Anglo-French army in the Battle of Chipata once and ate a main regiment of our Third Army. It can be said to be a bloody lesson, and Nebron and I have discussed it in the Department of Defense. Victor will be punished in a certain way, and at the same time, a stern warning will be issued to all of our senior APLA cadres. Everyone knows that this incident is that Victor has committed a taboo in the military. But don't you have those of us, including the chairman? Geriola then said slowly:
After listening to Jeriola's words, Li Puyu sat on the sofa and said, "Hehe, I am most responsible for this matter. As the commander of the First Army, I had become unsightly, and when I first received a telegram from Victor, I hissed a nameless fire, but it was quickly extinguished by Lisa. The main thing is that our army has been smooth sailing for too long. All the military cadres, including you and me, are blindly arrogant. ”
"yes, arrogance is serious. Some of our high-ranking military cadres had previously clamored for the end of the campaign within a month. Lay the foundation for the unification of most of the lands in southern Africa. But ideals are ideals, and facts are facts. The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, and the weapons equipped by the Anglo-French army are not weak. Nebron said:
"I've already started to reflect on this. I think the first point is the immediate decision to punish Victor. Moreover, this punishment must be taken as a warning to all officers of the army. It doesn't matter if a soldier is arrogant, but an officer is arrogant. According to this matter, Victor did not say that he was shot, but it was about the same. According to international practice, he will go to a military tribunal, but changing generals on the spot is a taboo for soldiers. Jeriola said:
After listening to Jeriola's words, Li Puyu shook his head and said, "Sending Victor to a military tribunal is not that serious. But I have to punish him. I'd like to hear your opinion on what kind of punishment should be given to him? ”
"Back to the chairman, I think so with Geriola, Victor is already a general and a corps commander, and his temper is known to you and I as Marshal Geriola. It belongs to the fierce Zhang Fei type, and he launched a fierce attack on the British and French forces as soon as possible after this incident, and it can be said that one-third of the people of the main regiment died under their own artillery fire, but in that case, anyone else would do that. The punishment given to him was that we thought that the rank should be reduced from the rank of general to the rank of general. Go back to the Ministry of Defense and sit on the cold bench for a year. Ronald, Chief of Staff, succeeded the commander of the Third Army Corps and continued to command the battle. Nebron said:
"Isn't it a bit too wasteful for a general to be demoted to a general like this and go back to the Ministry of Defense to sit on the cold bench. After all, are we not responsible? Li Puyu heard the result of this punishment and said with a little regret:
"Only in this way can we skillfully beat the commanders of other legions, think about how it feels like that our African People's Liberation Army has almost ended the African campaign in a year, and we can only read the war report and not be able to participate." Jeriola says:
"Well, I see what you mean. Just do it in this sense, and after issuing this decision, ask all the officers to write me a personal impression. If my thoughts don't change, I will change people. Li Puyu said:
