"General, General? How are you? How did you end up here? ”

Seeing the other party's appearance, especially seeing the opponent's iconic prosthetic leg, Bob immediately recognized who he was, this is the legendary hero widely praised among American prisoners, the immortal Jack!

The more defeated the army, the more it has to create heroes for itself, and this is not only out of political necessity, but basically speaking, it is in psychological necessity, which can be regarded as a kind of psychological compensation.

For example, in China in the late Qing Dynasty in another time and space, because the country was weak and the people were poor, it was oppressed by foreigners and domestic bullies for a long time, so it began to shape various national heroes by itself, so that these national heroes could punish and eliminate evil and resist foreign insults.

But in fact, the influence of those people on history is very limited, and the power of Chinese martial arts is not as strong as imagined, in the final analysis, it is just that the poor and weak Chinese at that time urgently need a spiritual opium, so they created a new heroic figure, especially a martial arts hero.

This culture of Chinese martial arts was later carried forward, so that in modern society it has become a label for Chinese, as if a Chinese knows martial arts, or knows martial arts to fight the world.

Another example is the United States after the Vietnam War, because of all kinds of bleakness, as a result, it created a hero in the movie and made a brave and invincible John. Rambo, as a way to comfort the injured American people, disgusting his opponents, as well as those politicians he hates, etc.

On the contrary, if it is a country and army that often wins, the portrayal of heroes is more objective. Because they don't need to engage in so many bells and whistles to beautify anything.

This is the case with the current US military, and they are fine with other people, whether it is the British, the French, or the Southern Army. They can all fight and have dealings, even if they are defeated, they will not feel too helpless, because they are half a pound or two with each other, and everyone's weapons and tactics are all well known.

But with the Chinese, the situation is completely different. It was a battle that made no resistance at all, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a one-sided massacre.

Before they met the Chinese army, they were also speculating. But at most, the Chinese are considered to be the level of the British, and in the minds of Americans in this era, the strongest army should be the British, followed by the French.

But. When really facing the Chinese army. They only discovered the fact that what they had learned in the past was completely outdated, or rather, the tactical concepts they had learned were completely useless to the Chinese.

What courage, bravery, tactics and the like, in the face of the Chinese cheating style of play, it is simply like pediatrics. People don't fight you face-to-face at all, they just need to pull the trigger from afar. Rain out the same rain of bullets, and the battle will basically be over.

Especially the New Virginia Regiment, they have fought with the Chinese for the longest time, suffered the most casualties, and felt the deepest, and they understand better how powerful the Chinese firepower is, and they also know how terrible such an army is.

But such a terrible army, they almost won, at least so many of the captives of the New Virginia Legion.

After the seven-day bloody battle of Smithland, although the US army surrendered en masse, it was not convinced by the Chinese, because they felt that the Chinese were taking advantage of the weapon, and they really fought face to face, they were a group of dishes, and they were not the opponents of the Americans at all.

Many people privately said that if the commander-in-chief was not the weak Burnside, but Brigadier General Jack, who almost succeeded, or that the number of ski troops could be a little more, such as double, then the outcome would probably be different, and the Chinese would be completely defeated by them.

Undoubtedly, this idea was purely whimsical, because judging by the situation of the seven-day bloody battle, even if they attacked twice as many troops, or even twice as many as they attacked, the outcome would probably be no different.

In fact, in that seven-day bloody battle, the reason why the Chinese army was in danger was that the number of people was too small after all, and second, and the most important point, that is, the Chinese themselves were slack.

If the vigilant troops guarding the port at that time were not so lazy and slippery, going to bed early because of the cold, but were serious and responsible, then no matter who attacked from behind, it would be useless in the face of modern weapons strafing.

Even in a sense, George. Rogers. The skiing force led by Brigadier General Jack had a very problematic way of sneaking attack, because they were sneaking up on the river, and although it was fast enough, it was indeed a little sudden, but there was a clear view there, and there was nothing to block the shells and bullets, so once it was detected early, it would be a total annihilation.

After all, at the port of Smithland at that time, there were not only the guards of the port, but also the task force, if they could have discovered it a moment earlier, turned the gun port and bombarded the ice, then this force would have come in vain.

Therefore, Brigadier Jack's sneak attack was not so much effective as a tactic, but a super shit luck, and it was not discovered by the Chinese at such a long distance.

You know, the Chinese were also very attentive in the direction of the port at that time, not only there were border outposts on the periphery, but also the guard personnel of the task force, the guard personnel of the port garrison force, etc., plus the Chinese army has night vision devices, and the night is not a matter for them, so as long as they can play normally, there will never be such a tragic thing as being sneak attacked on the back road.

Afterwards, even Li Yongji was a little strange, strange that the performance of this well-equipped unit could be so bad, but after an investigation, it was silent.

In the final analysis, it is still the quality of the soldiers who are not up to par, who only blindly believe in the merits of weapons and equipment, but ignore the inertia of people.

Just like in modern society, the Afghan army has been trained by the US military for so long, and has mastered very advanced weapons, but it is still defeated by terrorists who are poorly equipped, poorly trained, and whose morale is not too high.

Is it because the Afghan army is not fighting at all? That's certainly not the case, so the root cause is. The officers and men of the Afghan army are too afraid of death and too inert.

No matter how similar it is to the puppet army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in another time and space, the weapons and equipment of those puppet armies are not bad. Many of the puppet officers and soldiers were also experienced veterans and were particularly accurate in shooting, but in the face of the poorly equipped Nationalist Army and the Communist Army, they were always ready to collapse at the first touch.

Is it the combat effectiveness of the puppet army? It's not, it's that they don't want to fight, and they don't want to really fight with their compatriots who are fighting against Japan.

In the same way, this dream division trained by Li Yongji. When it was first established, most of the soldiers were civilians who had been sent to Hollywood to colonize, and these people had more or less experienced the Taiping War in the past. Many people have had the experience of being a member of the Qing Army and the People's League, and even the Taiping Army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a real bitterness.

Since these people were willing to come to California, thousands of miles away, in order to make a fortune, they joined the Dream Master. In the final analysis, it is for the high treatment inside.

When I first joined. In order to stay in this unit, they train hard, perform any tactical moves meticulously, and coupled with their curiosity about new weapons, they have a strong sense of belonging to this unit.

Later, when China and the United States went to war, it was this army that swept across California like a whirlwind. What San Francisco, Sacramento. They all fought in one battle, the whole battle was clean and neat, and there were basically no losses on their side.

Later, this dream army with high morale and self-confidence was taken to the American battlefield by Li Yongji with a high attitude of invincibility in the world, and from the landing in New Orleans, a series of battles that really attracted the attention of the world began.

It can be said that in the entire Mississippi River, or in the entire western battlefield, the Dream Division led by Li Yongji has never tasted a single defeat, and every battle is quite easy, it seems that it is enough to drive out and harvest human lives with the weapons in their hands.

At the beginning, they were relatively cautious, strictly abiding by the tactical rules, whether attacking or defending, they were meticulously in accordance with the combat code, even if their combat effectiveness was far higher than that of the other party, they had to fight under the condition that the number of people was basically the same, and the heavy firepower was fully superior.

But slowly, as the number of victories gradually increased, and as everyone became more and more aware of their own weapons and the weapons of the enemy, the feeling of pride and complacency began to spread everywhere.

Especially after the defeat of the Ohio Russian Regiment, this unit's self-confidence in itself has reached an extremely inflated situation, and many of them even think that it only takes five people to beat five hundred American troops without defeat.

The later reconnaissance team encounter also proved this matter, that is, a small detachment of assault vehicle reconnaissance team can actually defeat a US army integrated cavalry battalion!

As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, if they had changed to other troops, they might have tasted defeat a long time ago, but because the weapons of this army are too good, the generation gap between this army and the US army is too great, and the advantages are too great, plus there is Sun Xiangbing in charge of military discipline, and the organization of the troops is tight, as long as the above is strict enough, then after layers of communication, the entire army can still maintain basic vigilance.

However, when Sun Xiangbing, the black-faced man, left, Li Yongji, the real master, did not care much about military discipline, which made the people below quickly slack off.

For example, during the seven-day bloody battle, most of the defenders guarding the port went back to their houses to sleep when there was still a fierce battle ahead, and even the guards sent out were actually napping.

This thing seems to be slack, but it is actually a kind of pride!

After all, if you think about it carefully, those who sleep a lot, but go to sleep when the battle is still raging ahead, how big a heart can do this?

In the final analysis, they never imagined that someone could actually attack the rear port, after all, there is a task force here, and there is an unobstructed view on the ice, under the absolute blockade of their own firepower, according to their ideas, attacking from here, it is meaningless except to seek death, as long as it is a normal person, they will not choose this place to attack.

This idea of theirs is actually not bad, after all, compared to several other places, the port is actually more conducive to the defenders to give full play to their firepower advantage, plus the many warships of the task force moored here, how stupid would it be to charge here?

Burnside actually thought of this, so at the beginning, he didn't want to attack from that direction, after all, in his opinion, it was also a kind of death-seeking behavior, but then he really couldn't help it, plus the weather helped a lot at that time, not only at night, but also cloudy and snowy, so he died as a live horse doctor, and finally took shit luck, with the help of the Chinese's own slackness, so that the ski unit led by Brigadier General Jack succeeded in one fell swoop.

It can be said that the successful breakthrough was the only commendable highlight of the US military in the face of the invasion of the Chinese army, although it still failed in the end, and was beaten by the Chinese's counterattack, but after all, it was a success, after all, it was a head-on defeat of Chinese, and it was able to engage in hand-to-hand combat like a warrior with Chinese at close range!

Therefore, the U.S. skiing unit that created this miracle, and Brigadier General Jack, who led this unit, became the heroes of all American prisoners, and naturally, everyone respected Brigadier Jack more and more.

However, after the war, Brigadier General Jack was bombarded with a broken leg and was bedridden for a long time, and the place where he lived was also a senior officer quarter, not with ordinary soldiers, and ordinary people could not see him, so it was mostly a legend, but not many people had seen real people.

Seeing Bob staring at himself in a daze, George. Jack smiled slightly: "What's the matter, kid, didn't you want to see me, why did you come and not speak?" ”

"I, I'm ......" Bob snorted twice, finally remembering what he was here for, and exclaimed again, "Oh God, you, you're Daddy George?" Is Daddy George you? ”

"Yes, I am." George. Jack nodded.

"You, you're ......" Bob swallowed, then muttered to himself, "yes, I should have thought of who could be Daddy George but the hero Jack?" ”

"Okay, child, time is limited, in order not to be discovered by the Chinese, let's start early." George. Jack shook his head, "Why are you so desperate to see me?" ”

"Oh, yes." Hearing him ask, Bob collected his mood and thought for a moment, and then continued, "That's right, my people have been very restless lately, and they always want to start a protest immediately.

Because in their opinion, the Chinese have now entered the territory of the southern rebels, and if they continue to go deeper, the strength of the Chinese will be even stronger, and they may be influenced by the southern Yankees and will not accept their request.

In addition, if we go farther, we will be farther away from our hometown, and even if we can be released in the future, if the Chinese do not help transport it, and we have to walk back by ourselves, the cost of the road alone is not a small amount, which most of them cannot afford.

In short, everyone's intention is very clear, that is, they want to launch a protest here to force the Chinese to release them, otherwise, if they continue to walk, the situation is unpredictable, and they cannot bear it.

I've suppressed it, but the effect is not obvious anymore, so I just want to meet with you, listen to your opinion, and at least know a definite quasi-letter, otherwise, I and my people will not be able to explain.

By the way, I'm afraid there is one thing you don't know, I have a lot of people under me who have threatened me to start their own protests if they don't give them an answer in the near future.

The number of these people has exceeded 1,000, and the energy is enormous, and I am afraid that if I do not give them an answer, the results may be unimaginable.

That's why I took the risk of asking to come to see you in person, just to ask my dad to give me an accurate answer, so that I can better appease the people below, otherwise, I won't be able to control them. (To be continued......)
