Chapter 157 Poor Lord Governor
Just when Aros was teasing Howson, the city defense army command center.
Watching Gibbon Dale's angry face disappear on the central screen, Lieutenant Colonel Luke punched the console: "Who can tell me how those soldiers and armored vehicles got into the base?"
No one knew, and even if they knew, they would not dare to speak. Silence is the best countermeasure right now.
"Liaison officer, get me to the headquarters of the 606th Division." After waiting for a while, Luke Nelson sighed and ordered with a dejected expression.
Five minutes later, after talking with Thomas Chandler, the commander of Division 606, the Lieutenant Colonel sat back on the sofa, his face as ugly as a plate of preserved egg tofu with garlic.
Riots broke out successively in cities and towns near the "Warrior's Barrier" such as Gorang City, Desiburg City, Barnetta City, Morton City, and Siwa City. The uprising people captured the police station, government office, and armed forces. The functional departments, relying on tall buildings and alleys, launched a fearless urban sniper battle against the 1st, 4th, and 5th armored brigades of the 606th Division who rushed to suppress them.
There were turmoil in several populous towns surrounding the "Barrier of the Brave", and tens of thousands of rebels swept across the entire northwest region. Excluding the 2nd and 3rd Armored Brigades assigned to the "Barrier of the Brave", and the 6th Armored Brigade staying at the headquarters of the Third Army, the 606th Division has only more than 6,000 troops left. Facing the wave of uprising spreading like a prairie fire, Thomas Chandler's troops fell into a very embarrassing situation. Expecting them to increase their troops to support the "Barrier of the Brave" is simply a dream!
Lieutenant Colonel Luke was dumbfounded, and the whole person was dumbfounded. How did the war situation develop to this point? how come? why why!
Aldrich dispatched five armored divisions of the Third Army to the Eastern Front, thinking that with the absolute defense of the 606th Armored Division and the "Barrier of the Brave", he could easily deal with all sudden changes, but he never thought of the "Barrier of the Brave" that could not be broken by nuclear bombs. "Being poked by someone inside blossomed. As for the 606th Division, they were exhausted and busy fighting fires everywhere.
The entire Northwest Territories is like a volcano that is about to erupt, and he --- Luke Nelson, happens to be sitting on the crater where the smoke is billowing, once the magma gushes out. The flames will devour his body, not even a single bone will remain.
"What should I do?" His eyes passed through the front window and fell on the southeast direction. "There is chaos in the northwest. The Lord Governor's Mansion may not be able to sit still."
...
Five hours later, the capital of Croatan, the city of Rhineston.
The setting sun in the evening casts shadows of buildings on the bustling block, and the ladies wander in one after another in large shopping malls,
Occasionally throw a piece of eye-catching merchandise into the back rail of the intelligent robot behind him.
It was almost time for dinner. In the dining room on the first floor of the Forkbees Palace, the honorable Governor, holding a knife and fork, carefully cut the steak on the plate into small pieces.
Sometimes he would put the delicious and smooth pieces of meat into his mouth, chew them carefully for a while, and then swallow them gently into his stomach. Sometimes I put the meat on the plate of "Avril Lavigne", watching it shake its head and eat it with great joy.
"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door. Aldridge waved to the guard behind him.
The guard opened the door, and a military staff officer walked into the room with his head down.
"What's the matter?" Aldridge folded the napkin very elegantly, and gently wiped the gravy from the corner of his mouth. He is the most taboo to be disturbed while eating. If it's just some trivial matter, he doesn't mind letting Captain Howard improve his memory.
"Governor, 'Barrier of the Brave' sent a signal for help." Howard carefully pushed a document in front of Aldridge, and then took out another document: "The commander of the 606th Division, Thomas Chandler, also requested the headquarters Deploy troops to support the Northwest."
"Huh?" Aldrich's eyebrows like silver hooks twitched into a ball. He casually grabbed the request letter from "Fortress of the Brave" and looked at it.
Howard buried his head deeper. I didn't even have the courage to take a sneak peek.
After reading the appeal letter from "Barrier of the Brave", he then picked up the report letter from Thomas Chandler, the commander of the 606th Division, and hurriedly scanned it. The governor looked like a young girl with a red tide on his face and blood in his chest. There was a surge, and a low and angry grunt came out of his nasal cavity.
He clutched the two letters of appeal for help more and more tightly. Accompanied by a muffled sound of "waste", Aldrich's surging anger completely exploded.
The steak and side dishes on the table were thrown to the ground by him, and the tablecloth was also pulled to one side. Poor "Avril Lavigne" was thrown to the ground, screamed and rolled. Get under the long dining table and can't come out.
"People from the Governor's Mansion? Why didn't I know?" Aldrich threw the confetti on Howard's face: "Two armored brigades, half a division of the city defense army, were defeated by a team of less than 1,000 people. What a group Waste, what is the use of the empire raising them!"
Howard shrugged his shoulders and shrank his head. He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. Everyone knows that today's Governor-General is no longer the former literati and scholar who kept a low profile and was diligent in politics and the army, but has become a ruthless and resourceful general with an army in his chest. In the face of such a boss, there are too many mistakes to say, and only silence is the way to protect yourself wisely.
After getting angry, Aldridge gradually calmed down. He waved his hand to push Howard away, then walked to the front of the wine rack, took out a bottle of whiskey, and sat down slowly to drink by himself.
The setting sun cast a golden window on the large floor-to-ceiling windows, "Avril Lavigne" stepped out from under the table, licked the cat's paw, and let out a soft "meow".
...
When almost the entire outer ring area of the Appalus military industrial base was engulfed in flames, the governor finally compromised. Because of the lessons learned from the past, he did not dare to use the Fourth Army in the southwest region, let alone the Rhineston City Garrison, so he had to order the Third Army 106, 206, 306, 406, and 506, which were about to arrive in the middle reaches of the Sunaru River The division called back urgently and rushed to the northwest region to suppress the rebellion.
The Eastern Expedition failed completely. For Aldridge, it was like a sudden critical moment, when he suddenly softened, and it was as uncomfortable as it could be.
Aldrich locked himself and "Avril" in the governor's office for a whole day, without eating or drinking, until the next morning, when he walked out with red eyes, he regained his ability to strategize and win thousands of miles as a general.
The five divisions of the Third Army have already retreated to the Miluo Plateau, and in a day's time they will reach the Haite Mountains and enter the northwest region. At that time, the 106th, 206th, and 306th divisions will cooperate with the main force of the 606th division to counter the rebellion. The 406th and 506th divisions will go to the "Barrier of the Brave" to catch the enemies in the city.
However, something unexpected happened. The next day, before the main force of the Third Army entered the northwest region, the command system of the "Barrier of the Brave" suddenly became constrained. "Nearly 70% of the fortifications were paralyzed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the troops with mysterious origins in the city broke through the city gate, broke through the defense line built by the defeated generals of the 2nd and 3rd Armored Brigade of the 606th Division, and walked away.
When Colonel Howard delivered the information to Aldridge, the sympathetic Governor turned the table again. He swears to God that he never wants to see Howard's old, bumpy face like a bomb crater in his life.
