Chapter 1583 Is it because I didn’t eat, or because I didn’t take it down?
Feeling the commander's gaze, the patriarch felt a little uncomfortable, but he did not admit his mistake.
"Great warriors don't need any excuses at all. If they can't defeat the enemy, they can't defeat the enemy. They don't need such excuses, let alone justifying their mistakes!"
The soldiers curled their lips after hearing the patriarch's words.
Yes, yes, yes, you are so noble and great. You said that there is no need for reasons, but you are here defending yourself.
The soldiers didn't take the so-called patriarch seriously at all. In their eyes, the person they cared about most was their commander.
The commander's orders are far more useful to them than the patriarch's orders.
Does the patriarch also know a lot about military affairs?
But those few people in history who claimed to be knowledgeable about military tactics did not end up well...
Watching the patriarch find various excuses to shirk his mistakes, the commander shook his head helplessly.
No hope, next one...
The commander's expression wasn't very expressive, or perhaps he had already anticipated what these rebellious politicians would do...
Fortunately, he had already ordered his adjutant to act according to the circumstances.
When the adjutant saw that they were going to die, he came to his senses instantly and immediately retreated with his men.
On the surface, it seemed that they fought for a long time, but in fact, only a few hundred people entered the fortress, fought with the enemy for a while, and then withdrew.
It was a big show performed right under the nose of the patriarch.
The battle was fought, the equipment was consumed, and the goal was achieved. Isn't that enough?
What? You mean the casualty list? You don't need to look at that. You don't even need to look at that!
The adjutant decisively did not report the number of casualties, but tried to get away with it.
However, the patriarch who came to the front line would not care about so many things.
Because he only wants a victory, a political victory for them, and doesn't care about the casualties.
For politicians like them, casualties are just a string of numbers; what they need is everything political.
The commander then spoke to the patriarch in a tactful way to persuade them.
"Chief, I hope you can answer a question for me. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
The patriarch was a little confused when he heard this question.
"This is a self-contradictory question. Whether we eat before attacking the fortress or not eat before attacking the fortress, the ultimate goal is only one, and that is to capture the fortress.
But the problem lies in the fortress. Since the ultimate goal is to capture the fortress, why don't we eat first and then fight? If the soldiers are allowed to attack with empty stomachs, their combat effectiveness will be reduced exponentially, and the casualties will increase and it will take longer to capture the fortress.
You are our leader, but what I want to tell you is that you are not an expert in the military, so you have to learn to observe.
The lives of the soldiers are also lives. They should not sacrifice here in vain. They should do something more valuable and better serve the dragon! "
The commander spoke very tactfully, but the adjutant understood what the commander was thinking.
The commander had no intention of speaking to the clan leader in a friendly manner from the beginning. Everything he did now was just to cover up the anger in the commander's heart.
Because the commander's thoughts are simple.
I trained these soldiers with great effort, and you let them be cannon fodder and die with just one word. Wouldn't it be a waste of my training?
On the surface, the patriarch appears to be the head of the clan.
But military power lies with the commander.
Moreover, the commander is no ordinary person. He comes from a relatively famous family in the clan.
Who’s afraid of who if we touch each other?
The reason why the commander spoke so tactfully was to satisfy the soldiers while persuading the patriarch.
The soldiers had fought a meaningless battle and were fighting on an empty stomach, which had a huge impact on morale, so the commander had no choice but to choose this method to boost morale again.
The translation of this sentence is.
The previous failures were due to the commander's incompetence, and the previous failures were due to the patriarch's wrong command. Now I am here, and I will lead you to victory.
And also comforted the soldiers.
The anger in the hearts of many soldiers also disappeared, because if things continued to develop in this way, the soldiers might explode.
After all, they fought a losing battle on an empty stomach, and then had to be scolded when they came back, and they were denied as worthless. This level of insult was simply unacceptable to them.
If anyone dared to fire a shot at this time, it would very likely trigger a mutiny.
After hearing the commander's words, the clan leader looked unhappy.
Because he was very disgusted with the commander taking over the position, even though the commander had already humbled himself, he was still unhappy.
This is my kingdom, what do you want?
However, just when the commander and the patriarch were in a stalemate.
The Wehrmacht provided a direct assist.
Because the fortress was attacked, the National Defense Force's aircraft carrier battle group and the air force base in the East Continent received orders to dispatch fighter jets.
The carrier-based aircraft in the aircraft carrier battle group never stopped at all.
Basically, after returning to the deck to resupply, they will take off and fight immediately.
With each reinforcement from the East Continent's fighter jets, the aircraft carrier battle group's carrier-based aircraft can be dispatched four or five times.
Therefore, the more than 200 carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier battle group became the fortress's few air forces.
Just as the commander and the patriarch were arguing, a Wehrmacht fighter plane roared past, giving everyone a surprise.
A missile fell and accurately blew the patriarch into the sky.
In fact, based on the patriarch's strength, he would not be blown up at all.
Because he is old now and he is angry.
He doesn't care about this or that.
He just wanted to fight for his dignity, but the attack from the Wehrmacht came suddenly.
It blew him up into the sky.
Okay, now you don't have to fight for it anymore, you can just breathe on the fighter jets...
After learning that the patriarch was killed in the explosion, the commander was a little confused.
Because he couldn't believe that this chatterbox patriarch was gone just like that.
But it turns out that this patriarch is really gone...
What now?
While the commander was hesitating, the adjutant beside him immediately rushed up and knelt on one knee.
"Welcome the new clan leader!"
After hearing the adjutant's words, every soldier present immediately knelt down to show their obedience.
The commander who lives with them day and night is much better than this so-called patriarch.
Patriarch: ??? So I'm also part of your play?
(Good night)
