Sun Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he had come back a few days later, Sun Qian would have been sure that the assault battalion would definitely be broken up. Sun Qian is destined to become the commander of the light pole at that time, don't look at him as a hero of the coalition forces now, but he is sure that neither the coalition forces nor the US army itself wants the assault battalion to continue to exist, because the role of the assault battalion has been confirmed and there is no need for it to exist. Of course, if Sun Gan, as the person in charge, is here, although the assault battalion will still be suppressed, at least the assault battalion can be saved, after all, these generals of the coalition army still have to lose face.
Sun Qian should be grateful for the cohesion of the assault battalion, although B Company and D Company were abducted, but Sun Qian actually didn't care very much in his heart, for him, B Company and D Company were unstable factors, and the current situation was actually more suitable for Sun Gan to build the assault battalion, so Sun Qian didn't have too many ideas. As for Memphett, although he was a little indifferent in this incident, Sun Gan was more interested in Memphett's loyalty to the assault battalion. Monfit really came into Sun Gan's eyes, which also played a great role in his subsequent growth, and eventually became a famous general in the US military. As for the people who betrayed the assault battalion, although people will use them, they will also guard against them, after all, those who can easily betray their old troops can also easily betray the new owner.
After solving the internal problems of the assault battalion, Sun Qian went to the US military headquarters the next day. He had to make some fights for a way out after the assault battalion.
When he came to the headquarters, he did not go to see Pershing for the first time, but first found Lieutenant Colonel Memphis, as the old commander of the assault battalion, he did not play much role this time, he wanted to see what the reason was.
Memphis was very happy to see Sun Gan coming, and he knew that Sun Gan's ability to come to the headquarters proved that he had stabilized the assault battalion.
Looking at Sun Gan's inquiring expression, Lieutenant Colonel Memphis knew what Sun Qian wanted to ask, so he turned around and walked out the door.
After leaving the headquarters for some distance, Lieutenant Colonel Memphis said to Sun Gan, "Sun Gan, I'm really happy that you can come back, otherwise I can only watch the assault battalion being dismantled!" ”
Sun Qian also asked with a puzzled expression, "Sir, although Monfit told me about the situation, he can't tell me the deeper things, what happened to make you worry about Cong Cong?" ”
Lieutenant Colonel Memphis looked around and said, "Sun Qian, this time it can be said that the entire coalition army is attacking the assault battalion. Your previous actions were really good, which made the coalition interested in this assault tactic, and they also set up some commando teams accordingly, but they did not achieve any results, but they suffered heavy losses themselves. So, this made the coalition units very passive, and in the end they turned their minds to the assault battalion. ”
After Lieutenant Colonel Memphis finished speaking, he looked at Sun Qian, who was deep in thought, and continued, "Obviously, my previous thoughts were a little taken for granted. I'm thinking I'm going to get you out of the way, and with my efforts at the headquarters, I should be able to keep these guys out. However, I failed, I didn't expect General Pershing to actually support the other side's actions, he wanted to infiltrate the influence of our American troops into the coalition forces, so although he did not explicitly support the coalition forces, but he also acquiesced in the coalition forces' actions. It was precisely General Pershing's restrictions on me that prevented me from making the first move. So, when you see General Pershing in a while, you must be careful and careful. ”
Lieutenant Colonel Memphis looked at Sun Qian and said solemnly, "Sun Gan, you must protect the assault battalion, I don't want such an excellent unit to be broken up like this!" ”
Sun Qian looked at the solemn Lieutenant Colonel Memphis and said to him very solemnly, "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely let the assault battalion exist and make him the best unit in the entire coalition army." ”
After finishing business, Sun Qian and the two began to talk about some simple topics, and soon the time was ten o'clock in the morning. A communications soldier from the headquarters ran over and told the two that General Pershing wanted to see Sun Gan, and the two hurriedly rushed to the headquarters.
Looking at Sun Gan with a full face of vitality, Pershing is actually very complicated. For Pershing, who always wanted to put the U.S. military above the coalition forces as a whole, Pershing actually admired Sun Gan personally, but in his overall strategy, Pershing was very unhappy with Sun Gan's influence in the assault battalion. In his eyes, the assault battalion had completed its mission, and in order to better serve his overall strategy, the assault battalion had to be separated. For the U.S. military, it is better to stand alone than to bloom in one hundred schools. For the coalition forces as a whole, if the assault battalion can penetrate into it, it is more important to win more voice for the US military. It was a very simple matter that could be solved with a single order, but there was a Sun Qian and the Afli family behind him in the middle, which made him very scruples. In fact, Sun Qian's two months of cultivation were the result of a compromise between Pershing and Afley, Pershing thought that as long as he watched Lieutenant Colonel Memphis, he would be foolproof, but he did not expect that the cohesion of the assault battalion would be so strong even if Sun Gan was not there. This is also the fundamental reason why he has to admit that Sun Qian is indeed very good.
After staring at the resolute face in front of him for a long time, General Pershing put down his mood and said, "Sun Gan, it seems that you are recovering well, and you are welcome to come to the front line again." ”
Sun Qian was not impressed by Pershing's words, but retained basic politeness and said, "Thank you, General Army, I was supposed to come yesterday, but I was delayed by the affairs in the camp, so I had to come back today." ”
Sun Qian's words can be described as good to say, and they are directed at Pershing. But the rare Pershing did not refute it.
Pershing simply said, "Well, indeed, a lot of things have happened to your assault battalion recently, since you are back, then arrest the matter and re-grasp the combat effectiveness of the assault battalion as soon as possible." ”
Although Sun Qian was also a little suspicious of why Pershing said this, since Pershing said this, that is, he promised that the matter of the assault battalion would end here, so he let go of the doubts in his heart.
So Sun Qian said, "Yes, General, I have some new ideas during my recuperation, and this time I want to implement these new ideas when I go back to see if they are suitable for our assault battalion." ”
Pershing didn't have much interest after hearing this, but he couldn't refute Sun Gan's words, so he had to say to the communications soldier next to him, "Go and call Lieutenant Colonel Memphis, and say that I have something to explain to him." ”
In the process of waiting for someone, Sun Qian and the two did not have a trace of communication. For Pershing, with his current status, there is no need to say anything more to Sun Gan. On the other hand, for Sun Gan, Pershing, who has more politicians than soldiers, is not very eye-catching. So the two of them came to see each other, nose and nose, until Lieutenant Colonel Memphis came.
"General, you called me?" , Lieutenant Colonel Memphis didn't dare to say anything more when he saw the delicate situation.
Seeing Lieutenant Colonel Memphis, Pershing immediately changed his appearance, and he still liked this favorite general very much. Although in the matter of the assault battalion, Pershing had some thoughts about Lieutenant Colonel Memphis, believing that he could not keep up with his own pace. But on the whole, Pershing was very satisfied with the staff work in Memphis. He thought that since Sun Qian had returned, the previous things would not work, so it was better to give Memphis a personal favor. So he said to Memphis, "Lieutenant Colonel Memphis, Major Sun Qian told me that he has some new ideas about the construction of the assault battalion, and it just so happens that you are from the assault battalion, so let him contact you directly in the future, as long as it is not particularly important, I will authorize you to solve it all." ”
Although Lieutenant Colonel Memphis didn't know the story of this, since it was beneficial to the assault battalion, he didn't say much, and replied directly, "Yes, sir, I will definitely fully cooperate with Major Sun Qian." ”
"Alright, it's okay, you can go first." , Pershing said with some interest.
But Sun Qian didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he ignored Lieutenant Colonel Memphis's objection and said to Pershing, "General, I also ask you to promise me a condition, because it will take a certain amount of time for the new tactics to fully mature, and I think the temporary assault battalion will not accept the order of the coalition forces to attack, do you think it's okay?" ”
After staring at Sun Gan for a long time, not seeing a trace of fear, Pershing finally agreed to Sun Gan's request and said, "I agreed, but you must bring me the assault battalion, otherwise I will settle the new accounts with you." ”
Sun Qian finally accomplished the purpose of coming over today, but he didn't take Pershing's threat seriously at all, and said happily to Pershing, "Yes, thank you, General, I will definitely take the assault battalion." ”
After Sun Qian saluted, he turned around and left with Lieutenant Colonel Memphis, but what he didn't know was how complicated Pershing's eyes were behind him.
