Chapter 122: Comrades in the Battle
Lange Walter could not resist the policies of Prince Eugen, so he could only cooperate as best he could. Last night's mines were indeed dropped at the suggestion of Prince Eugen, a plan to lure the opponent's capital ships into a minefield at night, then destroy them, and then join up with Sfax's main fleet to force a landing on Howmet Tsuk. Of course, now that this plan has been stillborn, and has given the other side an excuse to lay mines, as the nominal supreme officer, Lange Walter has naturally become Prince Eugen's toilet, responsible for coming over to solve this mess.
Originally, he thought that being stronger would force the other party to give in, and the same was true of the news from the intelligence department, but who knew that although the other party's admiral was young and an Oriental, he was such a good person.
So he planned to be open and honest with the other party: "Your Excellency, let's have a good talk, how can you stop laying mines?" ”
Xu Zhonglin shook his head: "Colonel, you know, this is impossible. Since I have seized this opportunity, I will definitely hold on to the end, and I am not afraid to tell you that support from Tripoli is already on the way, and I will have about twenty minelayers in the afternoon. In about five days, I was able to lock Gabès in a box completely. After that, as long as the planes are regularly dropped by airplanes during the day, the safety of Haumite Suk can be guaranteed, so please understand that I will not give in. ”
A sense of powerlessness welled up in Lange Walter's heart: "Colonel, if I use my reputation to guarantee that Gabès will never take any more military action against Howmatsuk, and even put away all hostility, can you stop laying mines?" After all, this does hinder the normal safety of the shipping lanes. ”
Xu Zhonglin smiled: "Your Excellency, Walter, your guarantee is invalid, and as far as I know, Gabes is not your final say now. I understand your helplessness, the people above are like a greedy ghost who asks for too much, no matter what kind of shit decision is made, if something happens, the people below will have to endure the nausea and eat it. Truth be told, I've had the same experience as you. Actually, we can't help ourselves, right? ”
Lange Walter couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, dear! Bosom friend!
"Yes, Colonel Xu, you are right, if it weren't for this occasion, I would even want to make friends with you. But as a soldier, I still have to do my best for the situation I am in. Sfax's reinforcements are coming soon, and if we really fight, we still have a good chance of winning, you know, we have no way back this time. ”
Xu Zhonglin felt a burst of pride in his heart, sure enough, I was born a comrade in the war, and at this moment it was simply a double possession of the bureau seat and the gun mount. It's good to make friends, I like to make friends the most. In ancient China, there was a story about Guan Ning's cutting of the table, which was about the problem of making friends. Poor dick Si Guan Ning and his good friend Hua Xin are studying hard, the rich second generation outside the door drove a Ferrari to the car with Internet celebrities, Hua Xin is very envious, Lao Tzu will be an official in the future, and he will do this, I will have a son in the future, and he will also be the second generation of officials. Guan Ning was not happy and broke off his friendship with the other party, this story teaches us that whether your friend is a rich second generation or a bad boy who loves vanity, you can reach the point where he will be stinky for 10,000 years through mouth cannon and breaking off friendship. And now Xu Zhonglin plans to continue to use the innate skills of the battle sudden.
"Walter, we're friends now. In fact, I hate fighting, killing, killing. I have a dream, I dream that one day, the girls' dormitory of the Austro-Hungarian ship will be open to the outside world peacefully, I dream that one day, the Austro-Hungarians can have afternoon tea happily with the Italians, I dream that one day, the valley rises, the mountains fall, the holy light shines, scatters the world, and there is no more strife in the world. But today, right now, I can't agree to your request, and this certainly doesn't affect our friendship. I can only say that my heart is sorry, just as Jesus died in front of me and I could not save me, but as a soldier of the country, I can only do my duty, and if I die in battle with you in the afternoon, my heart will be calm and without regrets! So, my friend, please drink this cup of tea, and let each of us be our own masters. ”
Lange Walter was a little excited: "Xu, that's a great point! You are such a great person and I have to say, I appreciate your qualities. But I say, you are from the Eastern Empire, and this is Italy! You don't have to dedicate yourself to someone else's country to this extent. Why don't you go back to Austria-Hungary with me, I guarantee you can get your own two battleship wives. ”
it! Not impressed? It's so exciting. If you treat this world as a game, Xu Zhonglin has been playing on his knees until now. In the era when all kinds of bigwigs are flying in the sky, he doesn't have four battleships and more than two little hangma, and he can't make any waves in this world at all. If it weren't for the fact that he would stand up straight in the future, with his cold-faced and dark-hearted personality, why would he go out of his way to please Elena and Margaret?
But can he go? Of course not, not to mention the feelings of the Goddess of Wisdom and the Soul Resurrection Girl, the Nine Muses and other ship maidens, Capreira alone can't pass the level.
But not being able to go doesn't mean that you can't act, the actor's play must be complete. Xu Zhonglin glanced at Elena next to him vaguely, and shook his head at Lange Walter with a painful expression: "No! Walter, my friend, thank you for your appreciation. Although I am from the Eastern Empire, I can fight for Italy just as well. At this moment, my two aircraft carriers have converged with the one in Tripoli, and I can bear whatever the consequences, these are up to your country, you bring good wine, I have cigars for hospitality, you bring cannonballs, I have torpedoes. So please come back. "Xu Zhonglin tapped Walter on the shoulder three times and then turned around with difficulty.
Walter was in ecstasy at the moment, and Lao Tzu read all the A-movies...... Ahh Reading all the masterpieces of the East and the West, there is a code in the eyes, and there is absolutely no code in the heart! "The Adventures of the Monkey" Lao Tzu has seen it! Three clapping of hands represents three watches in the middle of the night, understand!
The two armies faced each other and plotted against the enemy's supreme commander...... This kind of sky-pouring war feat, it seems that there is a wood in history! At this moment, Walter seemed to see himself becoming a major general, becoming the commander of Austria-Hungary, marrying Bai Fumei, and embarking on the broad road to the pinnacle of life. Man, you really want to read!
Walter couldn't help but sneer when he stood on the traffic boat, people, they are really interest animals, and they all have shortcomings. The disadvantage of this kid from the Eastern Empire is that there is no backstage, in Walter's view, only those who can't get along in their own country will go to other countries to earn their lives, and this kind of person is naturally all for profit. He has already thought about it, and when he goes back, he must tell Prince Eugen that he can't fight today! The reason is that the air firepower of the other side's three aircraft carriers is too strong for us to handle. In any case, it will be delayed until tomorrow.
As for the two battleships...... Hehe, after the rebellion, is that kid still qualified to talk about conditions?
