Chapter 898: Ned Lettler
Ned Lettler, commander-in-chief of the coalition forces responsible for organizing the two continents of South America, watched from afar the fleet of the Welsh suspended above the sea level.
He only calmly said to the soldiers of the entire naval and air forces in the chain of command:
"We ran over and flattened the fucking Sixth District."
……
A naval and air war on a scale far greater than that of any other branch base in the world began in the Pacific.
The flames in the sky were clearly visible even to the citizens of the West Coast of North America.
It was as if there was a raging sea of fire burning on the sea.
Everyone knows that every inch of fire burns the life of a human army.
……
Countless warplanes swept through the air like locusts.
They were the vanguard of the Willies, and their purpose was to carve through the Welsh defenses.
This is already a suicidal attack.
After the end of this counter-resistance war, it is not known how much of the vanguard air force will be able to remain.
And the warships and submarine submarines on the sea level are also advancing rapidly.
……
This force will face a situation without any reinforcements, they can only win and not lose, and no one will be free to help them, because they themselves are a reinforcement army.
At this time, on the roof of the world, the troops in Asia and Northern Europe and Eastern Europe were already one step ahead, but because Asia was the main battlefield this time, they suffered the most serious attacks, and the Welsh poured most of their troops into this continent, and wiped out most of the military subbases in Asia at the most extreme and rapid speed.
Now the World Coalition is sending reinforcements to Asia from all directions, and the Asian Front will wait for the Coalition to arrive, and they will carry the banner of resistance to the Welts alone.
Even in the worst of the attacks, they have no choice but to resolutely march towards the roof of the world!
……
And Ned's coalition of the Americas, again, has no reinforcements, they must win, and they must win quickly.
Because once too much time is delayed over the Pacific Ocean, the situation on the frontal battlefield will turn sharply worse, and the Welsh fleets that were originally in the rear of the American Coalition Army to play the role of attackers will turn to the Pacific Ocean as quickly as possible after completing their attack missions, and cooperate with the Walish fleets on the forward defense line to form a form of front and rear flanking attacks.
The Coalition of the Americas is a reinforcement force.
If they fell on the march, it would be a shame for General Ned, and he would rather die on the roof of the world, because that would at least prove that he died on the frontal battlefield, that he did what a reinforcement general should do, and that he had fulfilled his mission.
And if he dies in the Pacific Ocean, it means that he died without completing his mission, and this kind of death, no matter how the world looks at it, Ned will consider it his greatest shame.
His philosophy is not only that the military has a vocation to carry out orders, but also to fulfill them.
……
No one will support this force.
Victory only gives them a chance to rush to the real battlefield, and if they lose, they will be buried in the icy currents.
So as soon as he came up, Ned launched the most ferocious and deadly offensive.
The vanguard almost made a suicidal attack, opening a gap for the entire coalition force, and then all the warplanes and the Welsh battleships were in the air.
The light of the fire in the sky lit up the early morning sky into daylight.
Ned's troops are destined to be a lone army with a heavy mission.
What he is leading is not the most elite troops in North America and South America at present, and the real elite are already mired in the attack of the Welsh at this time.
Therefore, the task of supporting Asia, which was supposed to be carried by the elites, was rotated to these non-elite troops that were "ignored" by the Wales.
Including Ned himself, he was also ordered to be in danger.
He is over 50 years old this year, and according to the regulations of the American army, if he applies for retirement after serving for more than 30 years, he is now an old man watching TV at home.
If it weren't for the first battle, Ned might really have become such a bad old man, returning to his hometown in Texas, getting his own collection of hot weapons every day, and then pulling a few of his retired comrades alive to go to the field to roast crocodiles and ribs.
……
But the first battle completely turned Ned's career around.
Two of his sons went to war.
Both sons were excellent air pilots, and the eldest son, Rick, was the first to arrive at the frontal battlefield in the first battle, that is, the elite of the air force that first opened a gap for the entire coalition army.
In the end, it was returned to the old man with a Medal of Heroism. The corpse of his son and the fighter plane had been crushed into powder on the battlefield, and no trace could be found at all.
The youngest son, Sean, is also in the Air Force.
He did not participate in the frontal battle of the first battle, but he shouldered the grief of his brother's death and the mission of his military family, and at the age of nineteen, he joined the convoy of the Migration Project.
Unfortunately, he did not see the day when the migration plan would finally come to an end.
During one of their migrations, their army was confronted by the Welts.
In order to smoothly evacuate the migratory crowd, the entire air force squad drove fifteen warplanes into the fleet group of the Wales.
……
Old Ned has lost his two sons, and all that is left of the family is those cold medals.
He once said to his old comrades-in-arms: "After I retire, I will be a waste, and then I can drink enough beer." ”
Eventually, however, he put on his military uniform again.
The retirement application that had not yet been written could not be written after all.
……
At the first time the North and South continents were attacked, Ned's branch was not attacked, because there were no military reserves there.
He was originally a general who was about to retire.
Even in the command of the military's top brass, he is only a marginal person, and the determination of major decisions has little to do with him.
And Ned himself said that he was just a soldier, not a general, and a soldier had to carry a gun on the battlefield, and if he sat in the command center, he couldn't understand the high-tech command system, so he had to go to the battlefield, otherwise he would really become a waste.
And this time, being ordered in danger is exactly what Ned is looking forward to seeing the most.
He spent his whole life on the battlefield, and the ending should inevitably be on the battlefield.
This is war.
……。
Ned is just a microcosm of so many families.
He is luckier than the parents of the dead children in that he himself is a soldier, and he has the ability to stand on the front line and fight for a breath.
