Chapter 448: Quick Knife Cuts Through the Mess
Within half an hour, eight colonel officers, acting brigade commanders, arrived one after another.
Because of the possibility of encountering rebels, these acting brigade commanders all brought guard troops, at least one platoon, and some even brought a company.
It was only after the arrival of the last colonel that Wang Dong and Nanijer came out of the headquarters.
According to Wang Dong's order, all the acting brigade commanders, as well as the guards and officers brought with them, stayed outside the headquarters, but their weapons were not collected.
There was no need for this, because there were more than a dozen armored vehicles parked outside the headquarters.
"You can conscientiously carry out the orders issued by the commander-in-chief of the front and report the situation to the commander-in-chief of the front, and I welcome you on behalf of the commander-in-chief of the front."
Subsequently, Wang Dong introduced Nani Gyal.
Actually, there is no need to introduce at all, these acting brigade commanders all know Wang Dong and Nanijer, and they know that Wang Dong's status is above Nanijer.
"Of course, I am disappointed that those who did not come to report to the commander-in-chief at the front."
At this time, Zhang Zilan came over and handed a military phone to Wang Dong.
"Prime Minister Razak has authorized the Commander-in-Chief of the Front to have full authority over matters related to the operation, including the rectification of the appearance and discipline of the frontline troops. If you are an Iraqi soldier or a senior military officer, you should understand the meaning of these mandates and the consequences of disobedience. It's just that I'm worried that people will forget their identity and their duties and obligations as a soldier due to some personal factors. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary for everyone to have a correct understanding of their own identity, understand whose orders should be obeyed, know how serious the consequences of disobeying the orders of their superiors are, and ensure that at any time in the future, they can conscientiously carry out combat orders! ”
After speaking, Wang Dong picked up the military phone.
"Let's get started!"
The eight acting brigade commanders didn't understand what Wang Dong meant, but it was only a few tens of seconds.
When the explosion occurred, the eight acting brigade commanders, as well as the guards they brought along, were taken aback.
Immediately after, a roar came from the air.
It was the sound of a fighter jet flying overhead.
By this time, the eight acting brigade commanders had already judged that the initial explosion had occurred in the city and in the direction of several brigade headquarters.
Wang Dong ordered to bomb those brigade headquarters!?
The eight acting brigade commanders all looked at Wang Dong in disbelief, because apart from them, there were only the six generals they had been loyal to before.
It was the six brigade headquarters where they were bombed that were bombed!
This is too ruthless, don't say hello!
In fact, Wang Dong said hello, that is, asked those generals to come over to report the situation, but those guys didn't take Wang Dong's greeting seriously.
Soon, Wang Haotian sent a message that all six brigade headquarters were destroyed.
According to Wang Dong's deployment, the operators of the six squads had already rushed over to confirm the lives of those generals, and then found the highest-ranking officer.
The disobedient generals are innocent, but the officers and men under their command, especially the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, are innocent.
In addition, Wang Dong needed these six brigades.
The atmosphere was a little tense, but none of the acting brigade commanders dared to stand up, because they had long noticed more than a dozen armored vehicles around them.
Besides, where can you escape from here?
Surrender to the rebels?
Don't be funny, they're Sunnis, and the rebels haven't taken prisoners of war.
Hidden?
Semavo is already in ruins, where can it be hidden?
Run away?
Can you outrun a tank, and with a fighter overhead, how far can you go?
The eight colonels were all human spirits, and at the beginning of the bombing, they realized that Wang Dong had come prepared, and to confront Wang Dong was to seek death!
Now that their previous superiors are finished, there is no reason to sing high-pitched.
Half an hour later, the first team returned, where they found the general's body and brought back a lieutenant colonel officer.
Subsequently, the other five teams returned one after another.
It was all the same, and after confirming that the target had been killed, the operatives approached the highest-ranking officer and brought it back.
There were four lieutenant colonels and two majors in all, and all of them were wounded, just not too serious.
It was only then that Wang Dong invited fourteen officers into the headquarters.
Of course, the guards they brought with them all stayed outside.
Although they were a little worried, none of the officers dared to refuse Wang Dong's invitation, and they all gave orders to the guards to stay outside honestly.
"I've always been reasonable, so I'm giving you a choice."
The fourteen officers looked at each other, and none of them understood what Wang Dong meant.
"To put it bluntly, if you don't want to continue fighting, for whatever reason, I'm going to let you go and officially retire from the army. When we have routed the rebels or retreated from Semavo, I will send you back to Nasiriyah or Basra. The treatment that retired soldiers should have will not be given less. You don't have to blame yourselves, because you have already contributed to the defense of the Motherland. ”
"Or else?" A colonel asked.
"If you want to continue fighting, you must unconditionally obey the commander-in-chief's command, and you must restrain your men to do their military duties. To put it bluntly, you have to be responsible for your officers and soldiers. If something bad happens, whoever is responsible, you will be held accountable first. In order for you to be able to restrain your officers and soldiers, you will all be able to gain battlefield decision. ”
At this point, the fourteen officers all understood.
Obviously, not only did he lead his officers and soldiers to continue to fight the rebels, but he also had to be loyal to Nanijar and Wang Dong and become their subordinates.
Allegiance was not an issue, as these officers had been allegiance to their superiors.
The point is, is there a future for allegiance to Nanigal and Wang Dong?
Don't talk about getting promoted and making a fortune, can you get Wang Dong's trust?
Obviously, this is a big problem.
Don't forget, just at the beginning, all the generals they followed before died at the hands of Wang Dong, and they all had the marks of these generals on their foreheads.
Without Wang Dong's trust, there is no future at all.
As for why Wang Dong talked so much nonsense to them, it was nothing more than that he was forced by the situation to first defeat the rebels besieging Semavo.
After defeating the rebels, are they still needed?
Perhaps, there is no way to wait for the day when the civil war will end.
After the end of the Battle of Semavo, Wang Dong would attack them, or replace them with cronies, and take away the command of the army without blood.
From this point of view, staying is just to be cannon fodder for Wang Dong.
Perhaps, Wang Dong began to lie and did not intend to let them go, so as long as they chose to leave, Wang Dong would kill them immediately.
Only, who can say for sure?
Even if it is, it is nothing more than a death...
