Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Senior Sister is in a good state

Lieutenant Colonel Eleanor Bonaparte is in good shape, not a small but a big one.

Probably because she took over the command of all the city defenses and more than 3,000 soldiers in Tulong at the age of 25, and was about to decide the lives of 700,000 citizens in the city, she was glorious.

Eleanor decided to work an extra shift to celebrate, so she spent the night inspecting the city's defenses, detecting enemy movements, and contacting the outlying military stations. By now, I hadn't closed my eyes for twenty-four hours.

How do you say that she, a chief of staff who has only been in office for half a year, became the supreme commander? Of course, because the commander, Colonel Hull, went on vacation last month, and the deputy commander, Lieutenant Colonel Hamm, "suddenly" suffered an acute stomach ulcer three days ago, and "accidentally" broke his little finger when he went to the hospital, and is now recuperating in the hospital. So everyone studied and decided, so that the only "moon man" in Tulon, who was only gilded, Mademoiselle Bonaparte, officially took over the defense of the whole city.

Miss Eleanor was neither modest nor poetic, and took up her post quite calmly.

"Anyway, instead of making a mess with the groundhogs, I'd better do it myself." That's how Eleanor explained it to Major Dorset.

The latter is the commander of the Tulong Panzergrenadiers, with a total of 300 men, and is the only elite unit in the entire New Yumen that is fully equipped with AS-56 dragoon-type power armor. In addition, these people are serious "Marines", commonly known as "Marine Gorillas", and their chain of contempt in the army is so high that they don't know where to go.

Eleanor wants to control Tulon, and these people must be encircled.

Fortunately, Major Dorset was quite respectful to Miss Chief of Staff, which had nothing to do with the fact that he had previously been the chief of security for Eleanor's father, Admiral Caron Bonaparte.

It must not matter!

"Regardless, the enemy has amassed millions of troops, as satellite and drone monitoring shows. Coupled with the reinforcements that rushed back from the military stations outside the city, there were only more than 3,000 people in the whole city, and I didn't know if the reinforcements from the Outer Ring Fleet would arrive on time...... We're going to have an uphill battle! ”

Major Dorset, who was forty years old, was speaking the same old words, but Eleanor thought it was all nonsense. However, after all, the other party is the person brought out by his father, and when he was a child, he called him "Uncle Louie" and he called himself "Miss", so he still has to give some face.

"There are more than a million primitive people, and I don't know how many old and young women and children there are. Primitive warfare patterns, you know. ”

"Even if it's a million pigs, it's like a flood! Moreover, didn't the intelligence already say that they had guns, they had tanks...... For the reconnaissance of the drone just now, they are also setting up positions on the Archie No. 6 high ground outside the city, which should be building an artillery position! We can't say for sure what model it is, but if it's a heavy siege gun, I don't know how long the shield in Port Tulom will last. ”

Eleanor nodded, "The investigation department has finally done something serious...... Oh, more than a million sand people gathered from all directions, and they all gathered into a large army before they remembered to report. For that alone, their commander should be shot. ”

"Well, the head of the investigation department, Lieutenant Park Yong-nam, was killed by you only yesterday......"

Eleanor didn't think she heard, stretched out a finger and irritably stirred the ponytail that was leaning on her shoulder, and asked casually, "Yuli's side...... Uh, and all the military stations that have lost contact with each other have no news? ”

Of course, Dorset knew what the eldest lady wanted to ask, hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth and said, "No, besides...... The report from the satellite scan just now confirmed that Station 12 had been completely destroyed. The internal members should have successfully broken through. ”

The Major's later remark was of little use, and Eleanor became even more irritated, and turned away with two beautiful long legs.

"Where are you going? The governor of the mountain temple said he wanted to see you. ”

"Said I'd wait for him on campus."

Ten minutes later, the governor of the mountain temple trotted all the way to the school grounds. This Japanese Humpty Dumpty, who was already in his fifties, looked like he was not good at sports, and he was already sweating profusely, but when he arrived, he found that all the "senior officers" above the captain level of the army were present. Miss Eleanor was in full view of a crowd of people, fiddling with an AS56 air-ground combat mech.

The youngest officers present were all about ten years older than the Chief of Staff, but now they watched the "little girl" fiddling with her guns with a smile and murderous violation, and they were all silent.

This crazy woman isn't going to shoot me with power armor, is she? The Governor laughed dryly, and couldn't help but take out his handkerchief and wipe his sweat. In front of Eleanor, he really couldn't put on a stand as a governor. The other party's education, ability and background are naturally one thing, but more importantly, Eleanor is an appointed officer of the Community Commander's Headquarters, directly subordinate to the Lieutenant Commander of the Space Fleet, and receives the salary of the National Defense Committee, which is not comparable to the "garrison miscellaneous fish" appointed by the Governor's Office.

Economic dependence determines the subordination of life! This is not what Mr. Lu Xun said, but what Mr. Li taught.

“…… That, Lieutenant Colonel Bonaparte. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in private, shall we? ”

"Let's talk about it here. Your Excellency the Governor-General. You have also seen that the subordinate officer is dull-minded and has military affairs, and he really has no heart to think about anything else except important military affairs. It just so happens that everyone is here, so you can talk freely about anything. ”

The Governor hesitated for nearly a minute, and in the process, Eleanor was ready to start polishing and waxing the Power Armor.

"Lieutenant Colonel, can this Tulong really hold on?" Mr. Governor finally got his words out.

"This, I said it myself, you can ask them." Eleanor fiddled with the barrel of the power armor - this thing was not a defective item for the garrison, but the main equipment of the Marine Corps, and the main weapon was a 9mm Vulcan cannon.

The officers swallowed. At the head, a dark-skinned and most military-looking major stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "Under the wise leadership of Bonaparte and the governor of the mountain temple, the defense of the city must be foolproof!" ”

The Governor noted that he had almost turned his back on the "Prefect of Bonaparte" before the "Governor of the Mountains." You know, this Major Sanga is the commander of the Tulong garrison appointed by him personally.

"Lieutenant Colonel, I mean ...... The sandfolks are outnumbered, and we, uh, we really don't need to be hard topped here! There are still two merchant ships in the spaceport, and we still have time to leave. This one, while it's still too late! I heard that the sandmen were setting up artillery positions outside, and when they set up the air defense interception, they couldn't leave if they wanted to. ”

Mr. Governor still knows that the Sandmen are setting up artillery? Eleanor glanced at the officers, and everyone quickly buried their heads in them.

Well, no matter how Miss Chief of Staff relies on her excellent personal charm to get the service of everyone, but the time is still short, and it is impossible to really brainwash these old fritters with different hearts.

"Lieutenant Colonel, let's withdraw. You're the commander, aren't you supposed to keep the living forces? ”

"You've given me a new perspective on military command." Eleanor smiled and nodded: "It's just, if we withdraw, what about the more than 600,000 citizens in this city?" What about the 700,000 community citizens of New Yumen? ”

"This, there is no way around it. But after all these years, the sandfolk are no longer uncivilized savages. We can solve it diplomatically. Blessing of the spirit of the universe, they will be fine. ”

"You've given me a new perspective on diplomacy and faith." Eleanor smiled and shook her head, "Anyway, the duty of a soldier tells me that I can't run away here." However, now that this is a war zone, His Excellency the Governor is a civilian official, and of course he can leave. The lower officials will not stop it, and they have no authority to stop it! ”

I? How can I escape? If I really run away by myself, how can I find someone to take the blame? Do you think I dragged you away for the sake of your beauty? Isn't it because you are the military commander that we fled together, and then I can say that I "fully believe in the judgment of the military commander" before we fled together, ah no, we retreated together?

You are a wealthy lady and a top student of the Defense University, isn't it okay to refrigerate for a few years at most? But I'm different! If I "escape" from the battle, it will be light to lose my position. Can't you be considerate of me, an ordinary child who has climbed to my current position by my own efforts?

Of course, the governor of the mountain temple could not say the above words. He considered his words for a moment, and was about to say something, when he saw two soldiers dragging a second lieutenant into the school grounds. Mr. Governor was stunned on the spot, not knowing why, but after a moment he finally recognized the ensign's face, and was shocked.

"Ensign Al Cruise?" Eleanor asked casually as she continued to fiddle with the ordnance on the power armor.

The second lieutenant, who was in his early thirties, was almost frightened into a puddle of mud, and looked at Miss Bonaparte tremblingly, and the corners of his mouth were sobbing but unable to speak, and he looked at His Excellency the Governor, who was sweating again, pleadingly.

"Let me ask you, three days after the command issued the order for reinforcements, not a single soldier from Station 12 has arrived. But why, you who belong there, and your airship, will be in Tulon? ”

Major Dorset glanced at Eleanor, then continued to look straight ahead, disguising himself as a statue that couldn't hear anything.

"I, I, Xiaguan, I, Xiaguan......" Second Lieutenant Cruise finally remembered what to say after being a repeater for half a minute: "I, I'm also here to live!" You can earn 5,000 each time by pulling a boatload of spices! That's all, there really is only so much, I am willing to hand it all in! Please, sir, I still have my family, I have children, I have three children to raise...... Woo woo, Governor of the Mountain Temple, help me, help me! ”

Governor Humpty Dumpty suddenly shouted, completely overpowering Cruise's plea for mercy: "Miss Lieutenant Colonel, I think we should show the indomitable and heroic nature of humanity and persist in resisting!" There must be no compromise with the primitive natives, this is international common sense! ”
