Chapter 846: Reception
Hearing this, Barton couldn't help but suddenly realize, and then stood up with a bang: "Fuck, these sinister guys! Major General, you're right, I even want to resign! ā
"That's exactly what they wanted!"
"I want to settle accounts with them!" "But I don't know who instigated this," Barton said. ā
"It doesn't matter!" Zhang Chi said: "Because even if you know who is instigating this, you will not be able to obtain evidence, and the people will even think that you are trying to escape scrutiny and divert the focus!" ā
Hearing this, Barton couldn't help but nod helplessly: "So, what's important?" ā
"The important thing is to solve the matter at hand!"
"I know, but how? Do you want me to admit my mistake in the media? Barton said, "No, I don't!" ā
Patton is the kind of person who doesn't admit his mistake even if he kills. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"No, I didn't mean to make you mistaken!" Zhang Chi replied.
"That's ......"
"Say what is in your heart!" Zhang Chi said: "Say it happily, but it takes a little twist...... Like, associate this slap with war! ā
"But...... How can they be connected? ā
"Did any of your comrades or subordinates commit suicide?" Zhang Chi asked.
"Of course!" Barton nodded.
This is not at all surprising that Americans are mentally weak-willed, and there are endless cases of suicide because they can't stand the pressure of the battlefield.
"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "This is the law of the battlefield, understand?" Slapping and scolding can sober them up! ā
Barton's mouth was half-open, and for the first time on his face, which had been frowning for days, the sun appeared.
Immediately after the enlightenment, Barton expressed his willingness to accept the investigation, and even expressed his willingness to hold a press conference to explain the matter thoroughly to the world.
At the press conference, just when everyone thought that Patton was bowing his head to admit his mistake, he didn't expect Patton to straighten his waist, and then said very stiffly: "As a commander, I want every one of my soldiers to be brave people, and it is my responsibility to cheer them up so that we can win this war with minimal losses...... Otherwise, more soldiers will be killed by the enemy.
It's a simple addition and subtraction, isn't it?
Do you think that a gentle and gentle voice to each soldier will cheer up the soldiers? No, it just makes them feel like a child who needs to be comforted!
One of my comrades-in-arms committed suicide because he was depressed.
I regret it, and if there's anything I need to admit wrongdoing, it's ...... Because if I had slapped him in the face, I might have been able to sober him up and cheer him up, and he might have been spared death!
Gentlemen, war is clean, straightforward, and ruthless, and therefore the person who directs it should also be a clean, straightforward, and ruthless man!
So yes, you think I'm cruel, you think I'm ruthless, you're right, but that's what the battlefield needs!
I guess I should stand here and show you if I'm a bastard as you think I am, and if I'm not fit to be this commander! ā
With that, Patton gave a straight and powerful salute to everyone.
The venue was quiet for a while, and I don't know who led the way, and a few people applauded, and then the applause and applause soon rang out.
Patton's speech was brilliant, and these words were quickly reprinted in the newspapers by reporters, so the wind of public opinion shifted in Patton's favor:
"Maybe we don't understand war, and we take it for granted that we imagine the battlefield in a peaceful world!"
"Patton is right, we need such generals, and won't the victory in the Battle of Sicily speak for itself?"
"The slap may be Patton's mistake, but as a soldier, you should unconditionally obey the orders of your superiors, even if you are injured, so I don't think General Patton is very wrong!"
ā¦ā¦
Patton was very satisfied with the feedback, so he happily said to Zhang Chi: "Major General, you have done me a great favor!" ā
"This is what I should do! Checkmate! Zhang Chi replied.
"Now......" said Barton, "should we consider who is behind the scenes?" ā
"I don't advise you to do that, General!"
"Why?" Barton said, "Am I going to tolerate them staring at me from behind?" ā
It is not a gentleman to have revenge, Barton is the kind of person who has revenge.
"General!" Zhang Chi replied: "They may be any person who is jealous of your merits, and random speculation can only make you enemies everywhere, which will not benefit you at all." All you have to do is be careful with what you say and do, because the enemy knows your weaknesses...... Next time they're going to take advantage of it and even set a trap, I mean, a verbal trap and make you say the wrong thing! ā
Zhang Chi's statement is not groundless.
Because the historical Barton ruined his future because of repeated gaffes......
He first openly commented: "World domination was the stated goal of Britain and the United States after the war, and of course this was also the goal of the Soviet Union!" ā
Although this is a big truth, the major powers are obviously very unhappy and strongly dissatisfied when they hear it, and even if this is put on the table in advance, then the anti-fascist alliance should disintegrate and start to fight openly and secretly.
Then Barton said: "The Republicans and Democrats in the United States are no different from the Nazi Party in Germany!" ā
As soon as this statement came out, the world was in an uproar.
Of course, this is because the reporter deliberately set a "language trap" for Barton, or rather, a trap set for him by Barton's potential rivals, which the outspoken Barton accidentally fell into.
This made Eisenhower unable to bear it any longer, and decisively dismissed him from his post as commander of Patton's Army Group and sent him home.
Of course, it's different now that Zhang Chi is here, Zhang Chi even knows what these language traps are, so just ask Barton when there's something to do...... Someday, when Barton encounters these similar problems, he certainly won't make the same mistakes again.
There is only one reason why Zhang Chi will do his best to help Barton...... It's time to build your network within the United States.
Speaking of connections, perhaps Halsey, Stilwell and others can be regarded as Zhang Chi's connections.
But Zhang Chi knows very well that once one day things involve national interests, they will not hesitate to put their personal feelings aside.
But Patton is different, he can almost be described as a political idiot...... It is precisely such people who are likely to be the most reliable connections.
