Chapter 39 Orders from the White House
On the eve of the Normandy landings, the Allies launched large and small military operations in Europe, forcing the German army to retreat to its homeland.
With Seiya joining Frank's team, the Allies are almost overwhelmed wherever the Sanctuary Armed Forces are. The German soldiers simply could not stop.
Information about George and the company appeared on the desks of the heads of state like snowflakes, and the War Department even listed Frank's unit as a regular combat department in a subsequent battle plan.
McGinnis's time has been a good one, not only to gain praise for his purchase of potions, but also to take the risk of investing in bringing the Sanctuary's troops into regular combat.
Not only did it not fail, but it received more frequent calls from the White House for inquiries. He didn't expect this at first, the combat power they showed was too amazing.
Especially the new Asian kid, who is like a grinder on the battlefield, and whenever the battle reaches a stalemate, this kid is like a sharp sword, easily tearing through the enemy's defenses.
He thought that Rogers' super soldier was already the limit of the battlefield, but he didn't expect that the person named Seiya once again refreshed his cognition.
According to the soldiers who returned from the front, Seiya once destroyed three armored vehicles with his bare hands in order to rescue the besieged soldiers.
McGinnis comfortably lit a cigar for himself in the office, poured himself a glass of wine, snapped his fingers constantly, and looked smug on his face.
Just as he was immersed in the success of this collaboration, the phone rang on the desk. This phone is a secret number, and there is only one person who knows the number, and that is the president of the United States.
Used to issue emergency wartime orders, which even the War Department did not know.
He immediately stopped what he was doing, picked up the phone, and the hoarse and familiar voice came out of the earpiece.
"McGinnis, are all the battle reports you sent true?"
He was stunned for a moment when he listened to these words full of shock and suspicion, of course he knew what Mr. President was talking about.
If he weren't on the front line, he couldn't believe that this was something that a mercenary could do.
"Yes, Mr. Hydrocarbon, I can guarantee that everything is true."
"Do you know what you're talking about? McGinnis! Two battalions of mercenaries annihilated a reinforced armored regiment? ”
The voice of the phone became more and more excited, as if it had seen something unbelievable.
McGuinness also had a helpless expression on his face, he understood President Roosevelt's skeptical skeptically, after all, the Sanctuary Company's troops were only 1,000 people, which was counted as two regular infantry battalions.
With his help, the weapons were strengthened a lot, but in the face of the German mechanized armored regiments, and they were reinforced regiments. The number of soldiers is about 4,000.
Equipped with three infantry battalions, one artillery battalion. An armored battalion. Its combat effectiveness is carefully calculated, compared to two simple infantry regiments.
No one with a modicum of military common sense would believe that a mercenary army of 1,000 people could annihilate him head-on.
When the iron-clad facts were in front of him, his expression was the same as that of Mr. President on the other end of the phone. Incredible.
"Mr. President, I guarantee that all this is true with the honor of a soldier."
The other end of the line fell silent after he said this. He had to wait patiently, and no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to hang up the phone from the White House.
From time to time, there was the sound of intermittent discussion in the microphone, and I couldn't hear what was being said. After a while, the voice of Mr. President sounded from the earpiece he had been holding.
"McGinnis, in two days, I will sign a presidential decree to hire the armed forces of the Sanctuary to carry out the decapitation operation as the Sharp Knife Group in the Return to the Eagle's Nest plan."
"Yes, Your Excellency the President."
This decision can scare McGinnis, and the plan to return to the Eagle's Nest is a secret among secrets, except for the heads of state and a few generals in the Allied Command.
Others are not qualified to know that as a precursor to the Normandy landing plan, in order to ensure that it is carried out in secret, even the selected troops have not been notified for the time being.
Listening to the president's meaning, it is obvious that he has to communicate with George or Frank in advance, as a mercenary, it is impossible to temporarily let the other party move, in case they refuse, it will not be a break.
If you tell us in advance, you risk having your plans leaked, since George was not a member of the military and his ancestry was German.
It is conceivable that the White House made this decision, and Roosevelt did not know how much pressure to bear, and even signed a presidential decree. You must know that in wartime, presidential orders can be issued directly by Congress without being bypassed.
Of course, there were bad results, and the president had to bear the responsibility.
At the same time, he was also extremely excited, George's cooperation with the military department was something he strongly advocated, and he had reaped many benefits. This time, I participated in the Return to the Eagle's Nest program.
If he also shines in the action, then he will also have the qualifications to be promoted to general, and the level of importance to George will be increased by one point.
I even felt that if I wanted to have a smooth sail in the future, I would rely on this young man a lot.
At this time, George didn't know these things, and was lying in the hotel resting bored, and he also knew about Seiya's actions.
It's just that I didn't expect that I had already let him make a leisurely move, and it still caused such a big sensation, and the eyes of those officers in the barracks who looked at him in the past few days were full of respect.
But this can't be helped, even if the Bronze Saint Seiya only uses one-tenth of his strength, it is not comparable to these stinky fish and rotten shrimp on the battlefield of World War II.
Those tanks of the armored legion, in Seiya's hands, are estimated to be not much thinner than pieces of paper, and they all shatter at the touch of a button. But these things are not without their benefits.
At least now the generals of all countries have received orders and have begun to secretly contact George, hinting that they also want to hire the troops of the Sanctuary Army. It can be regarded as opening up the global market.
For these businesses that come to the door, his reply is always that next time it will be, and now the Allies except the United States do not have a piece of steel in their crotch.
Let's not talk about whether you can afford to pay or not, after all, now that you have just had in-depth cooperation with the US War Department, the allies are the final say of the United States, and there is no need to make more of such a move.
On the contrary, it made the US military unhappy, and he was also the father of the gold owner, so he had to give some face.
Just when George missed Virginia's sexy delicate body, Frank walked in with a serious face and coughed lightly. Signal your arrival.
He looked at Frank with a solemn expression and said teasingly, "Frank, why are you slumped in face, did the British rose dislike you last night?" ”
After saying that, seeing Frank's still serious appearance, he instantly understood that something must have happened. Hurry up and put away the jokes. Asked seriously
"Frank, what's the matter?"
"George, there is a family member who wants to see you, do you need to see you?" Frank hesitated for a moment, but said uneasily.
Of course, he knew what his family meant, and he was also shocked in his heart, this was the Allied headquarters, a German asked to see, and Frank showed such an expression.
I don't know what the identity of the people who came, and at the same time, I feel that these people are really bolder than the sky. The situation at the front line still dares to be sent to the door.
It was a fateful job, and he thought for a moment before commanding Frank.
"Bring it later, remember not to be discovered!"
