Chapter 157: Poor Lord Governor
At the very moment when Aros ridiculed Hausen, the command center of the city defense army.
Looking at Gibbon? Dahler's angry face disappeared from the central screen, and Lieutenant Colonel Luke slammed his fist on the platform: "Who can tell me how those soldiers and armored vehicles got into the base?" ”
No one knew, and even if they did, they didn't dare to speak. Silence is the best response right now.
"Liaison officer, give me the command of the 606th Division." Waited a moment, Luke? Nelson let out a long sigh and commanded with a dejected expression.
5 minutes later, with the commander of the 606th Division, Toms? When Chandler finished speaking, the lieutenant colonel sat back on the sofa, his face as ugly as a plate of preserved egg tofu with garlic paste.
Riots broke out in the towns near the "Warrior Fortress" such as Gocang, Fort Desi, Banetta, Moulton, and Siva, and the rebels captured the police station, the government office, the armed forces department and other government functional departments, and relied on high-rise buildings and alleys to launch a fierce urban sniper war against the three armored brigades of the 1st, 4th, and 5th divisions of the 606th Division that rushed to suppress them.
Riots broke out in several populous towns around the "Fortress of the Brave", and rebels with a total of tens of thousands of personnel swept across the entire northwest region. Excluding the 2nd and 3rd Armored Brigades assigned to the "Brave Fortress" and the 6th Armored Brigade remaining at the headquarters of the Third Army Corps, the 606th Division had only more than 6,000 troops left. In the face of the wave of uprisings that spread out into the prairie fire, Toms? Chandler's troops were in a very awkward position. Expecting them to increase their troops to support the "Brave Barrier" is simply a fool's dream!
Lieutenant Colonel Luke was stupid, and the whole person was confused. How did the battle get to this point? How so? Why...... Why!
Aldrich dispatched 5 armored divisions of the Third Army to the Eastern Front, thinking that with the absolute defense of the 606th Armored Division and the "Brave Fortress", he could easily deal with a sudden situation, but where did he think that the "Brave Barrier", which could not be broken by nuclear bombs, was poked inside. As for the 606th Division, it was exhausted and busy with fires everywhere.
The whole Northwest is like a volcano about to erupt, and he, Luke? Nelson, who happened to be sitting on the smoke-filled crater, once the magma gushed out. The flames will consume his body, and not a single bone will remain.
"What should I do?" His gaze passed through the front window and fell to the southeast, "Northwest chaos has arisen. I'm afraid the lord of the Governor's Palace can't sit still. ”
……
5 hours later, the capital of Crotan, the city of Rheinston.
The evening sun casts shadows on the bustling neighborhoods, and the ladies wander through one large shopping mall after another, occasionally throwing eye-catching goods into the back rails of the smart phones behind them.
It was almost time for dinner, and in the dining room on the first floor of Falkbees Palace, the Honorable Governor, with a knife and fork in hand, carefully and meticulously cut the steak on the plate into small pieces.
He would sometimes stuff the creamy pieces of meat into his mouth, chew them for a while, and then gently swallow them into his stomach. Sometimes the pieces of meat are put on the plate of "Avril", and they watch it shake its head and eat it happily.
"Knock knock." There was a knock at the door. Aldrich waved to the guard behind him.
The guard opened the door, and a staff officer of the military headquarters walked into the room with his head bowed.
"What's the matter?" Aldrich folded the napkin very elegantly and gently wiped the juice off the corners of his mouth. He is most taboo to be disturbed during meals. If it was just a trivial matter, he wouldn't mind letting Howard go to the headmaster for a long time.
"Lord Governor, the 'Brave Barrier' has sent a call for help." Howard cautiously pushed a copy of the text in front of Aldrich, and then took out another copy: "606th Division Commander Thoms? Chandler also requested that the headquarters send troops to support the northwest region. ”
"Huh?" Aldrich's eyebrows were twisted together like silver hooks, and he grabbed it casually and looked at it from the "Brave Barrier" letter for help, his brows furrowed more and more, and his face became more and more ugly.
Howard's head was buried deeper. I don't even have the courage to take a peek.
After reading the letter of help from the "Brave Barrier", he then picked up the commander of the 606th Division, Toms? Chandler's report letter was hurriedly swept away, and the Governor's face was like a young girl, and the blood in his chest surged, and a low angry snort came out of his nose.
The two letters for help were tightened by his grip more and more. With a muffled "waste", the anger in Aldrich's chest exploded completely.
The steaks and side dishes on the table were lifted to the ground by him, and the elaborate tablecloth was pulled to one side. Poor "Avril" was thrown to the ground, let out a terrible scream, and rolled over. Got under the long dining table and didn't come out.
"Someone sent by the Governor's Palace? How did I not know? Aldrich smashed confetti into Howard's face: "Two armored brigades, half a division of the city defense army, were actually defeated by a team of less than 1,000 people. What a bunch of rubbish, what's the use of the empire raising them! ”
Howard shrugged his shoulders and shrunk his head, and he didn't say a word the whole time. Everyone knows that today's Governor is no longer the literati and scholar who used to be obscure and diligent in government, but has become an iron-blooded and ruthless and resourceful general with a thousand armies. In the face of such a boss, there are many mistakes, and only silence is the way to protect oneself.
Aldrich calmed down, waved his hand, held Howard away, and then walked to the shelf, took out a bottle of whiskey, and slowly sat down to pour himself a drink.
The setting sun casts a golden hue on the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, and "Avril" steps out from under the table, licking the cat's paws and making a soft "meow".
……
When almost the entire outer ring of the Apalus military-industrial base was in flames, the Governor finally relented. Because of the experience of the past, he did not dare to use the Fourth Army Corps in the southwest region, let alone the garrison in Rheinston, so he had to order the five armored divisions of the 106th, 206th, 306th, 406th, and 506th Third Army Corps, which were about to arrive in the middle reaches of the Sunaru River, to urgently call back and rush to the northwest to quell the rebellion.
The Eastern Expedition was a complete failure, and for Aldrich, it was like suddenly ooxx to a critical moment, softening, how uncomfortable it was.
Aldrich locked himself and "Avril" in the governor's office for a whole day, without eating or drinking, until the next morning, when he walked out with red eyes and restored his strategizing and decisive generals.
The five divisions of the Third Army Corps had retreated to the Miluo Plateau, and in a few days' work they would reach the Hait Mountains and enter the northwest. At that time, the 106th, 206th, and 306th divisions will cooperate with the main force of the 606th Division to counter the rebellion. The 406th and 506th divisions will go to the "Brave Fortress" to catch turtles in an urn against the enemy in the city.
However, something unexpected happened. The next day, before the main force of the Third Army Corps entered the northwest region, the command system of the "Brave Fortress" suddenly became restricted, and some "officers" mutinied, almost killing nearly 80 percent of the high-ranking officers of the city defense army, causing nearly 70 percent of the fortifications of the entire "Brave Fortress" to be paralyzed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, those troops with mysterious origins in the city broke through the city gate, broke through the defense line built by the remnants of the 2nd and 3rd armored brigades of the 606th Division, and marched away.
When Colonel Howard delivered the information to Aldrich, the sympathetic Governor turned the table again. He swore to God that he would never see Howard's crater-like old face again.
