Chapter 1457 The Helpless Old General
A storm was brewing in the south.
But the north is extremely peaceful.
After destroying the first line of defense, the Wehrmacht did not rush south to attack the second line of defense.
Because the second line of defense is much more difficult to attack than the first line of defense.
The National Defense Forces are preparing for war, and they always believe that food should be eaten one bite at a time.
Therefore, there was no plan to launch a strong attack, but to slowly consume the enemy's strength.
At first, the old general thought the war was developing in the direction he had planned.
But he soon realized that the Wehrmacht had no intention of launching an attack in a short period of time. They just wanted to use artillery, missiles, and the air force to consume the goblins' manpower!
Because the second line of defense is a permanent line of defense, once most of the facilities here are destroyed, it will take a lot of time to rebuild them.
The old general didn't know at first that he had fallen into a trap.
After learning that the Wehrmacht in the north had slowed down its offensive, he became very relaxed.
Each of the officers under his command was also very clear.
Compared to fighting, they are obviously more suited to enjoying life.
After all, each of them was brought up by a chaebol. They may not be good at fighting, but they are all good at enjoying themselves!
The old general repeatedly ordered his men to restrain themselves and not think about enjoying themselves, at least during this period of time.
But the old general's repeated orders were just words to them.
These officers were already dissatisfied because they had previously refused the chaebol's order to go south and eliminate the leader.
As a result, now that they finally wanted to relax, the old general used the war in the north as an excuse to restrain them.
These chaebol officers naturally do not want to be constrained.
They all pretended to obey the orders but actually did not think about carrying out the old general's orders at all.
Even some more radical young officers cursed the old general in private.
"Why doesn't this old man just die? We can still save this country without him!
He only knows how to talk about great principles every day, and when fighting, he only knows how to follow the textbook. Such a person is not worthy of being our marshal!"
These people's remarks are considered to be quite radical.
Most of the officers chose to remain silent.
The old general said his, and they did their own.
After learning that his subordinates were pretending to obey his orders but actually disobeying his orders, the old general decisively contacted the chaebol, hoping that the chaebol could control their lackeys.
But the chaebol said: I give a shit!
You disagreed when I asked you to lead the army south. Now you think of us?
What do you take us for?
A dog that comes when called and leaves when dismissed!
The chaebols did not respond to the old general's request, neither agreeing nor opposing.
Some officers realized that the current situation was very serious, so they wisely chose to protect themselves.
He tried his best to restrain his subordinates, and at the same time he set an example by managing his subordinates and preparing for war.
But those who are more radical would never think so.
Inside the second line of defense, several soldiers were discussing their superiors.
"Didn't the old general say that we are entering a period of control? Let alone drinking, we can't even smoke too much..."
A soldier exclaimed.
The other soldier waved his hand.
"That's what the marshal said, but don't forget who our superior is. He was able to call the marshal's command post. How powerful do you think our leader's background is?"
As the soldier finished speaking, the other soldiers present fell silent.
In their eyes, the old general is indeed an excellent general, and also a commander who loves his soldiers like his own sons.
Although they suffered a great defeat in the first line of defense, of course, only a few days had passed and their morale had recovered. This was entirely due to the old general's personal charm, which stabilized the morale of the troops.
The soldiers were willing to listen to the old general's orders, and the old general also wanted to be worthy of the soldiers. He wanted to bring everyone back safely.
Instead of letting the soldiers be buried in a foreign land.
Even though this land belongs to their goblin civilization, their hometown is their real home.
The vast country of goblin civilization is nothing more than a paradise for the chaebols.
In the eyes of these soldiers, there is no so-called country, only the home in their hearts.
"So what should we do now? Should we listen to the marshal or..."
The soldier suddenly stopped talking at this point.
The other companions also understood what the soldier meant, and then looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them.
He whispered softly into the ear of his companion.
"Have you heard? The leader is rebelling!"
"what?"
Several companions around asked the question in unison.
The soldier who spoke this hurriedly asked everyone to lower their voices, and everyone then came over silently.
"Our boss is the son of a chaebol, and the reason why he wants to go against the old general is not only because he doesn't obey the old general, but also because the leader and the chaebol have fallen out. The chaebol asked the marshal to lead the army south to eliminate the leader, but the marshal refused on the grounds of defending the national defense army.
So the financial tycoons were furious and were not willing to let the marshal take control of our troops.
And these chaebol officers naturally became the vanguard..."
The soldier stopped talking after this because no one present was a fool and if he continued, something bad might happen.
After hearing this, the soldiers fell silent.
Whether it is a chaebol or a leader, they are extremely distant existences to them.
Their only hope is to return alive.
Everyone was silent, and at this moment, the Wehrmacht's artillery shells fell.
After hearing the whistling sound in the air, the soldiers immediately hid in the air-raid shelter, followed by several artillery shells that accurately hit the fortress on the defense line.
The goblin soldiers are no longer surprised by this.
The National Defense Force used cheats. If it was the first time, they would definitely curse at them, but for the goblins, the National Defense Forces had never turned off the cheats.
Can you open it if it’s not locked?
Inside the Wehrmacht artillery position in the north.
Since most of the artillery was responsible for harassment missions, the heavy artillery was not concentrated in one position. Instead, they were divided into platoons, with each platoon ordered to find targets within the goblin defense line and fire freely.
The squad leader was lying leisurely in the chair, but the next second there was a loud bang, which woke him up.
"boom!"
"Where is the cannon firing? Are the goblins attacking us?"
The squad leader looked around in a daze, and saw only a few artillerymen who were gloating over the misfortune.
When the squad leader saw this, he threw his hat away and promoted the person who laughed the most happily.
(Good night? ?? ? `? ??)
