Chapter 61 Command
Head Cao pressed his hands and motioned to everyone present to calm down. Jessica, who is the most difficult now, did not question Captain Cao, which undoubtedly gave Captain Cao endless confidence. is like Cole and the like, in the eyes of Captain Cao, they are the objects of his own play. Who is in charge of the command of the Fox soldiers, who is in charge of their military operations, this Commander Cao has not studied it at all, and he has not even cared about it.
"Well, Master Cole, I'll ask you a few questions, and the answers will come out. Commander Cao gestured to Cole, and then cut directly to the whole: "How many days have our troops fought with the enemy?
"In four days, there have been thirteen encounters in total, and the scale is not too big. Cole barely thought about it, and gave a resounding answer. Cole is already familiar with all the data of this unit, and Cole will study it every day, and he will not find anything wrong.
"Then in the thirteen encounters in these four days, how many people have we lost in battle? What is the battle loss ratio?" Commander Cao did not ask about Cole's tactics or command, but asked a relatively unexpected question.
"The battle attrition is about 300 people, and the battle loss ratio is less than 10%. Answering this question, Cole was even a little arrogant. By any measure, this is a very proud number. According to Collington's sources, there is no unit on the front line that has such a strong fighting discipline.
The other people in the tent were also exchanging glances with each other, all with playful smiles, and they felt that Captain Cao was completely humiliating. He asked these questions, almost embarrassing himself like a clown. Only Jessica was silent, as if she had withdrawn from the argument between the two sides. It became unusually quiet.
"One last question. Commander Cao also grinned and said slowly: "Then, according to your observations, in the past few days, the enemy who has fought with us is the main force of the enemy? It is still a quasi-first-class team with individual combat ability, and the support of the priest is also second to none among all the combat units of the Southern Expedition. The one who can cause damage to this force must also be the enemy's main force, right?"
Captain Cao's question directly stunned Cole, he didn't expect that Captain Cao would play such a divine turn. It seems that Captain Cao is touting the people of the Fox family, but when you think about it, it is not like that. Thinking about it again, Cole feels that this bastard's big back is clearly aimed at himself, and this is purely a bone in the egg!
"What's the matter? Do you want to say that if you had come, there would have been no casualties? We're at war, not at home! If we fight, we're going to have casualties. Why do you, a layman who doesn't know anything, question us? Let's not talk about whether we are facing the main force of the other side, do you understand the concept of less than 10% of the battle loss ratio?" Cole directly slapped the table and roared, in terms of these topics, Cole did not feel that Commander Cao had more say than him.
"I say it again, Master Cole, please face your own problems, and don't think I'm making fun of you. You have already suffered casualties under the test of the enemy's cannon fodder troops. That's just the way it is. If it were me, I can guarantee that there would be absolutely zero casualties among the troops fighting these cannon fodder. It's all like this now. If someone else really attacked with the main force, what would be the casualties? You are only a mere 5,000 men, and you can withstand a few waves? By the time this battle heats up, you will have already been crippled!" Regiment Commander Cao also slapped the table, almost pointing at Cole's nose and shouting.
It's all a matter of momentum, and Cole is clearly no match for Captain Cao. After being yelled at by Captain Cao, Cole actually had a feeling of speechlessness. At least objectively speaking, what Commander Cao said is not unreasonable. These five thousand Fox warriors may not have waited for the battle to enter the white-hot stage, and they are about to withdraw from this stage. Cole suddenly realized that he was thinking a little one-sidedly. Now he is trying his best to refresh the honor and military merits of his troops, which is absolutely not the slightest mistake, and anyone in his position must find a way to benefit his own people.
"So what? I don't believe anyone else can do it better than me. I also emphasize once again that this is a war, not a game, and we all know that there will be losses in war. We are all in unison, every soldier who comes here is determined, even if we can't return to our homeland, at least we have to play the glory of our Firefox Legion! Don't stand and talk without backache, if you come, you will only do worse than me!" Cole came back to his senses and argued again, but unlike just now, Cole's tone was significantly lower by an octave.
"No, no, no, the two of us are not on the same level at all, and if you want to compete with me, at least you have to stand on the same level as me and Leonardo. Captain Cao once again threw out his truce card, full of aggression. What he means is that he didn't take Cole seriously at all, and brazenly raised himself to the same level as Leonardo, which I don't know how many people would laugh at when he said this.
Saying such things on the territory of the Fawkes clan was undoubtedly pulling hatred for themselves, and the faces of everyone in the tent began to change again. Jessica glanced sideways at Captain Cao, who was still so calm, as if what he said was the truth. I don't know why, Jessica couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw the appearance of this big back.
"Gentlemen, please show your respect. I'm not exaggerating, why did so many people in the Southern Expedition only recommend me, and not others? I think that's pretty telling. I don't want to be so targeted, it's all you forced me to. Originally, there was still a lot of relationship between me and the Fox family, and I was a close friend with you Leonardo, but I didn't expect you to be so rude every time, do you have to destroy the relationship between me and Leonardo to be happy? I'm a little-known person now, I don't care. Think about it, you discredited me. What's in it for you, what's in it for Leonardo, and what's in it for you? You're tearing down Leonardo's platform!" Captain Cao didn't give them a chance this time, and reprimanded them in a crackling manner. It's still the same old trick, Leonardo's Shang Fang sword is in his hand, even if Captain Cao can only slash with his eyes closed, he can make these guys speechless, this is their death hole. No doubt. Head Cao was blindsided again this time.
Cole and the others didn't know what to say for a while, and Captain Cao was a proud and arrogant guy with no one in his eyes. There is neither a prominent identity nor a truly impressive record, but he was recommended by Leonardo. Cole was even a little skeptical that this big back had poured some ecstasy soup on Leonardo to get such an honor.
"Head Cao, enough arguments have been made. Jessica spoke again, breaking the silence. Jessica's face was weak at the moment. But he was much more serious, and said: "As you said, you have a good personal relationship with your brother, and we are willing to believe that you have an unknown talent." But no one who can be here is a fool, and what you said is unbelievable. To convince us, you've got to come up with something practical. ”
"The actual stuff is simple, if you do what I say. I can assure you that in the exchange of fire with the main forces of the enemy. Your troops will not lose a single soldier. We don't have cannon fodder troops, but we have our advantage, they want to use cannon fodder troops to consume our living forces, and we can also use a smarter way to make them understand that this path is not going to work. Head Cao smiled slightly, and calmed down a lot. At all hours. As long as he sees Jessica, Captain Cao's mood is always a lot calmer. There seems to be a special magic in this silver fox beauty, perhaps this is the fundamental reason why Captain Cao is so fascinated by her, and there is no one who can replace it.
"Commander Cao, I said let's stop bragging, okay? Zero casualties? Waiting for you to cut it?" Cole sneered again, if it weren't for the fact that Jessica was still here, Cole would have spit out a thick sputum. Anyone can brag, but Cole doesn't think there are people who can really achieve the so-called zero casualties.
"You want to see it, of course there is no problem, I will prove it to you. With all my sincerity, I ask you not to discuss anything that is not my main character. Captain Cao's face was firm, and his words were full of blind subjectivity, but he was not joking.
"Okay, you say, how are we going to cooperate with you, and how are you going to prove it to us?" Cole thought for a moment, but calmed down. He had already understood that reasoning with someone like Captain Cao would not make sense, so it was imperative to get rid of this annoying fly as soon as possible, and Cole just didn't know how to make this bastard retreat.
"It's simple, gather all the officers in your unit, and I'll give them a meeting first, so that everyone can clarify our next plan. Then please hurry up and hand over that damn command to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will go back and teach the bastard on the other side to be a man!" Inadvertently, Head Cao had already opened a bloody mouth. War always brings out the dark side of people, not the bright side, in order to get ahead, Commander Cao also began to embark on this path.
As soon as Commander Cao said this, the faces of everyone in the tent suddenly changed, and they even thought that they had heard it wrong. Isn't it a fucking joke to hand over command to this bombastic big back-to-back boss? How did this bastard manage to open his mouth? Isn't it a fucking joke to let someone who is not familiar with the Firefox Legion take command? Not to mention that the top brass of the Fox clan here disagrees, even those junior officers will not buy his battle.
"Impossible, how could you be in command of our Fawkes' team?" Knight Redick finally couldn't bear it anymore, even if it was just a hypothesis, Redick couldn't imagine handing over command to a foreigner. Not to mention that what is in front of them now is nothing more than the leader of a raiding group, even if it is replaced by a famous man of another race, the proud Fox people may not be willing. Reddick had an undisguised sneer, even if it was a sneer, it was the first time Captain Cao had seen this guy's smile. Normally, Reddick always looks like someone owes him a lot of money.
The eighteen horsemen of Yanyin almost surrounded Captain Cao in the middle and ridiculed him, and the gossip was so noisy that Captain Cao's head was about to explode. Even if they are not good at verbal battles, they also seized this opportunity to throw out all the swear words they would have. In their hearts, Captain Cao has become synonymous with shamelessness, and he has also been labeled as a hat that does not know the height of the sky.
"Captain Cao, we let you speak freely, but we didn't let you play with us again and again, do you think your proposal is really appropriate? Is it really feasible? You are clearly here to mess around, we don't welcome you!" Especially Cole, whose eyes were red, he directly threw out the eviction order. It can be seen that this polite and high-achieving student can no longer bear the speech style of Head Cao.
"Nothing is impossible, you want to grow, you want to become better, so when necessary, learn the advanced ideas of others. Of course, if you refuse to grow, then I don't say it. Until this time, Captain Cao was not in the slightest hurry, and even sprayed a puff of smoke on Cole's face.
"How many days do you have to have?" Jessica did not stand on the same front as her own people, judging from her weak face, she was not stimulated by Captain Cao's words like everyone else, and she was also very calm. Today's Jessica seems to be particularly easy to talk to, and she doesn't mean to do anything with Captain Cao.
"It won't take too long, I'll lead the fighters of Fox to create a couple of performances that will shock everyone, and then I'll give you back the command. As for whether I'm bragging, I'm sure everyone will be able to feel it at that time. Head Cao smiled with satisfaction, there was no situation that made him feel more comfortable than the current situation. (To be continued......)
