839 The Truth That Is Gradually Being RevealedXIII
The front line of the Asian Theater of Operations, Guam, guarded the town
The Supreme Military Governor and Supreme Governor of the Guam Garrison, Major General Shirakawa, was sitting behind his large desk staring at the report on the table.
"So, the deep sea has been making a big move recently... She asked, closing the report.
"Yes, Major General White." The colonel in front of her saluted her respectfully.
"I know about this matter, Colonel Zhou Lin, go back and organize the defense first!" Bai He said to his deputy in front of him.
"But Major General Bai, don't we have a little reaction to this? At the very least, the common people must be allowed to retreat! Zhou Lin looked at his boss and asked puzzled.
"Colonel Zhou Lin, how old are you this year?" Bai Hewu asked suddenly.
"Well, let's be honest, I'm already forty-six this year, and I'm about to run five." Although Zhou Lin was confused about Bai Hewu's sudden age of asking, he still told her his age.
"Does Colonel Chou know how old I am?" Bai He asked again.
Zhou Lin keenly sensed a faint hint of malaise, and the intuition brought by thirty years of military experience told him that the next situation was likely not to be very good. But in the face of the questioning of his immediate boss, Zhou Lin still decided to answer honestly and said, "I don't know, Major General Bai." β
"Hehe, relax, Colonel Zhou Lin, I don't mean anything else." Bai Hewu chuckled twice, and then said: "I just want to say that as I, who is at least twenty years younger than you, and now that I have become the chief official of the town guard mansion of this front-line strategic support point, I will naturally have my own judgment. What do you think? β
Finally, she asked politely.
"But Major General Shirakawa! As an officer who has served here for twenty years, my knowledge of the situation here is far from comparable to that of an airborne commander like you, who has just been transferred for less than three months! The deep sea here has attacked this place countless times in the ten years I've been transferred! Their commanders are deeply aware that our Guam Town Guard is the defense support point of the Asian theater of operations! It's an extremely hard nut to crack! So their commander, after countless failures, knew very well that a frontal assault was impossible! According to their previous tactics, they directly sent elite deep-sea ship squads to patrol the perimeter of the town guard mansion and cut off the supply lines around us. Instead of directly assembling a large number of troops and rushing straight at us, as the current intelligence says! Zhou Lin argued.
"So, Colonel Zhou Lin, do you think my judgment is wrong?" Bai He asked slowly.
"Of course it's wrong! In the face of such an offensive in the deep sea, we should immediately report the situation to the Governor's Office of the War Zone, and then start organizing the evacuation of the population. Evacuate the incapable populace to the rear to avoid possible heavy casualties! Zhou Lin said immediately.
"And then?" Bai He asked.
"And then? Then, of course, it is to clear the wall and prepare for a decisive battle with the deep sea! Zhou Lin said puzzledly.
Bai He looked at the man in front of him, and the colonel, who was nearly half a hundred years old, had white hair sticking out between his temples. After many years of military service, his face, which had suffered many vicissitudes, did not look like he was forty-six years old, but looked like he was sixty-four.
"Colonel Zhou Lin, I think you should understand a little. What if the deep sea spills a shot at us? Or rather, what if their purpose is to get us to move people? They could have made it look like they were all going to fight us to the death, and then let their high-level deep-sea ship girls infiltrate our defenses with their elite deep-sea squads and attack the defenseless civilians who had no power to resist! If that's the case, then how do you deal with it? Bai Hewu asked unceremoniously.
"Then we can send some of the ship's mother to escort it!" Zhou Lin also said without hesitation.
"Colonel Zhou Lin! Your idea is so naΓ―ve! There are more than 50,000 inhabitants in the entire town guard! With such a large-scale transfer operation, it is not enough to sprinkle all the commanders' shipwives in the town guard mansion! Besides, even according to what you say. After we sent most of the ships to escort the ship, what should we do in the face of the deep sea attack? What to do with the town guard's house? Is it just for the sake of 50,000 civilians to give up all the strategic support points and a large number of materials in the entire theater of operations?! Bai Hewu was already speaking at this time, she sat up straight in her office chair and stared at Zhou Lin and said.
Zhou Lin was trembling with anger at Bai He's words, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Bai Hewei, and said in a trembling voice: "Bai Hewu! What did you just say?! If the troops are not enough, we can make up the town guard mansion, and we can find other town guard mansions to make it together! That's more than 50,000 people! They trust us to protect them, they trust us! That's why I dragged my family from the interior of the incomparably comfortable Asian theater to this dangerous Guam town guard! As the supreme military and political chief of the Guam Town Guard, this is how you view them? Without these civilians to feed us, what do you eat? What to drink? Bai He is worried, Bai He is worried, you should think about the way those people look at you when you and your ship's wife are shopping outside this town guard's mansion. Think about the way you and your shipwreck come back every time you go out on an expedition, and those people look at you. You tell me, and your conscience won't ache? β
"Zhou Lin! Watch your words! You're just my deputy now! Not my boss! Bai He looked at Zhou Lin angrily and shouted.
"But I'm still a soldier! I have never forgotten the oath I made in the five-star red flag and under the party flag! Loyal to the party! Loyalty to the country! Loyal to the people! We are the people's soldiers! Zhou Lin yelled at Bai He in the same high voice.
"So what?! Now we are at war! Everything in the war is for the final victory! Tell me Zhou Lin, is the lives of these more than 50,000 civilians important, or is the defense line of the entire Asian theater of operations in the deep sea important?! Bai Hewei pointed to the Asian theater deployment map behind him and shouted to Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin was speechless for a while, as a senior military officer, he naturally would not say that civilians were more important than the deployment map of the entire war zone. His eyes were blood-red and he stared at Bai Hewei, as if Bai Hewei was his worst enemy.
"Major General Bai He, is it really not accommodating at all? Even if we take advantage of the arrival of the deep sea and send the children out first! He asked, looking into Bai He's worried eyes.
However, the words of the female major general shattered his thoughts vividly.
"No, you're also an old officer. The existence of the Fallen is not limited to the ship's mother, and I can't risk them to leave! β
