C2774 Revolt! (1/2)
The Glory s were overpowered, the unconvinced naval officer s vented all their anger at Huo Fu, but what they said was right, Huo Fu's commander in chief in this battle had completely failed.
From the beginning till the end, he had always believed that the responsibility belonged to someone else. It was because his subordinates were incapable, or because the army was weak, or because there was a problem in every aspect of the empire.
What was worse was that this empress' trusted aide cared too much about face, being headstrong and self-serving!
Today, seeing that so many of his subordinates were targeting him, his face flushed red and he roared loudly, ”Give the order!” I don't believe the Army would dare disobey me. ”I am the commanding officer, I am the commanding officer of the whole battle!”
”I want to see who dares to disobey the authority bestowed to me by the Empire!”
At this point, both sides were trembling in anger. Huo Fu was their commander after all, and these officers could refute him, but the soldiers below did not dare to.
Very quickly, the strong wording of the flag was sent to the Spic Island. The army and navy correspondents were always paying attention to the commander in chief's new orders.
”General Huo Fu has given the order! ”They want us to attack the center of the town right away …”
”The commanding officer asked us to use our superior forces to defeat the Chinese resistance... ”We won't care about life and death!”
The one who received Huo Fu's orders was the Regiment Commander of the Fourth Division of the Royal Guard. He was currently the most senior commander to the nearest town, while the other two Regiments were commanding the battle from an unknown location. It could be seen how chaotic this battle was.
”Notify Huo Fu... There are more than three hundred wounded in our army, and the enemy is using wounded soldiers as hostages.
”But …” The messenger wanted to say something, but was scolded by the crowd.
”But what? ”This is an order, how can you refute it? Get out …”
The correspondent was himself a member of the navy. He had only been temporarily assigned to the army to exchange information. Today, the army itself was filled with anger and thought that it did not have a good attitude towards him.
The messenger ran out of the temporary headquarters in a huff, quickly arriving at the high point on the beach to report the army's reply to the Glory.
”The army refused to accept the order. There are wounded soldiers in the town. They are unwilling to attack …”
”If the commander forces an attack, then please do it yourself …”
It really wasn't a good thing that happened, but a bad thing that happened. Huo Fu's head was spinning, why did he have to find such a petty and petty person to be his messenger?
”You bastard who went to hell!” How dare you ignore my orders, and how dare you mock me! ”
”A useless cripple who lost the empire's military soul!” They're all cowards … ”
”I don't need them …” I don't need them anymore... Fire the cannons! Send orders to all battleships to fire the cannons immediately! Destroy that town completely! ”
Of course, Huo Fu would not be able to go onto the battlefield by himself, but don't forget the cannons in his hands, which were the naval gun s of large caliber. These 140-150 caliber cannons were already the strongest firepower on the battlefield!
”NO!” No... How can you kill friendly troops when the Army wounded are in the town? This is treason! ”
Huo Fu's recklessness had completely infuriated those officers. These naval officers were not rootless wood, they were elites raised up by the Imperial Naval Academy, and almost every one of them had families that were not simple.
Some were behind the aristocrats, some were heirs to large capital families, these were forces that even Napoleon had to rely on, these people definitely wouldn't be afraid of him, Huo Fu.
”I am the commander! I have the authority to give orders! ”
