223. Study at the Military Academy
In this battle, Fred and the others won a great victory, half of Metshaw's men were either killed on the spot or captured, and the remaining half fled with him in disarray.
In addition, Fred and his team also captured three tanks and an armored personnel carrier, in addition to various types of firearms, ammunition, military rations and other trophies worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.
As Metshaw had ordered the only stone bridge over the river to be blown away as he fled, there was no road to pass through at all, and both sides retreated a kilometer back on the banks of the river and set up camp.
Metershaw was furious, not because he had lost the battle, but because his guards were so competent that his officers and soldiers were rumored to have run away on his own.
In a fit of rage, Metshaw shot the guards who were running away.
……
Soon, news of the outcome of the battle reached the ears of Russell and Dopongbe, respectively.
Russell's health has been getting worse and worse lately, because the nerves in his brain have been affected, so he is suffering from an explosive headache, and on the advice of his personal doctor, Rossell began to inject Du * cold to relieve the pain.
Unknowingly, he has developed a serious psychological and physical dependence on Du Lengding.
Therefore, his focus is not at all on fighting Dopombe, but on the endless pleasure that Du Lendin brings him.
"They're all gone?" It was only when Russell heard that Minister Fred had won a great victory with his army that he remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.
"It's already won." Russell's personal secretary was exactly what Fred recommended.
Russell had just finished an injection, and the whole person seemed to be in good spirits, so I saw him laugh, "Yes, it seems that the three brigade commanders are very cooperative, and they have sent out all the elite soldiers and strong generals under their respective commands." ”
Originally, his personal secretary wanted to use this rare opportunity to burst out and provoke Russell, but when he thought of Fred's advice, he still endured it.
In fact, he didn't know why Fred didn't let himself explode, this was a golden opportunity to clean up those brigade commanders.
"General, this is the list of promotions prepared by the minister." The secretary duly also made a list of Fred's officers and soldiers who had performed well in this battle.
"Praise so soon?" Russell seemed a little upset.
As a confidant, the secretary's right to speak at this time is naturally revealed.
"General, this time it should be well praised, especially under the strong offensive of Metshaw's side, the minister was able to lead the people to a complete victory, it is definitely the general's credit for knowing and employing people and governing the army in a good way, which can also improve our morale."
"And according to Metershaw's character, he must not be willing to fail, he will definitely make a comeback, so at this time we must establish a clear orientation of rewarding the good and punishing the bad......
After the secretary explained it cleverly, almost every word said to Russell's heart, especially his rainbow fart, which made Russell feel his pride as a commander.
His previous slight dissatisfaction with Fred quickly vanished, and he firmly believed that Fred was a very good subordinate who could take care of the overall situation.
This time, Russell obviously opened up a lot, and suddenly he also remembered the bastard regiment commander who was unable to break the army.
"Where's Jom?"
"Now it's under the watchful eye of the minister's men."
"Take care of a fart, shoot it directly, this bastard is a rice bucket." Russell said without hesitation.
The secretary nodded, looking understanding.
After Fred's letter, and the secretary's praise, Russell happily signed his name.
This matter quickly reached the ears of the three brigade commanders, who originally wanted to see Fred's jokes, but they didn't expect this guy to easily win the first battle.
This time it was their turn to panic, after all, the three of them had negotiated at the beginning, and they gave him some crooked melons and cracked dates.
If Fred had joined them in front of Russell, he would have no good fruit to eat.
However, after several days of worry, no bad news came.
It wasn't until a week later that Russell sent someone to call them to the residence.
This time, the three guys were visibly flustered.
I think Russell must be going to sacrifice a big move.
Who expected that after arriving at Russell's residence, he was told by Russell that Fred, who wore many hats, could not stay on the front line for a long time, so he thought about it for a while and prepared to let the three brigade commanders send their men to take turns to lead troops to the front line.
This time, they couldn't escape, so they had no choice but to agree.
……
At first, Dopombe was a little jealous of Metshaw's singing, he was worried that this sharp guy would rise and pose a serious threat to his old position, and was about to find a way to make a trip, but unexpectedly, the news of Metshaw's defeat came from the front.
Upon hearing the news, Dopombe couldn't help but grin.
Finally saw the news of Metshaw's loss.
Just taking this opportunity, at the behest of Dopombe, the Ministry of National Defense held an operational reflection meeting.
Metshaw was picked up from the front by plane.
At the reflection meeting, almost all the senior generals accused Metshaw of rushing forward, ignoring reality, and taking the main responsibility for the defeat of the campaign.
Metshaw had never experienced such a big scene, and was directly sprayed red by these high-ranking generals.
However, Oliveira and the elder Dopombe were unwavering in their support for him, which made him feel that he had not given in vain.
"General Metshaw is very hard, this time you must not blame him, you can only blame the other party for doing a really good job of concealment, for the rest of you, it is definitely not as good as General Metshaw, it is not easy for him to lead the troops to fight for the first time to bring the troops like this, there is no so-called winning general in this world, we must fully learn the reasons for the defeat from this war......"
"General Metshaw, you are really good, but unfortunately you are inexperienced, my personal opinion is that you should enter the military academy for further study and improve your military quality as soon as possible......"
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
Metshaw was reluctant to leave the front at first, believing that he still had a chance to turn the tables around, but when he heard Salma's judgment that the two sides would continue to draw a line, he couldn't help but answer.
He is still young, and there are opportunities, as long as he enters the military academy for further study, he must definitely improve his personal ability.
Dopombe thus sent Metshaw to the military academy in Europe.
Short seemed to sense something, and after second thought, he also resigned his inconsequential official position and followed Metshaw to Barri.
