C215 (1/2)
After hanging up, Della went back to the window and looked at the burning sea, the Chinese bombers had already left the battlefield, and then looked back at the ravaged fleet, he did not feel any regret at all for his decision to surrender, he knew what he was doing, but he still did not turn around and said bitterly, ”Do you feel that you really can't understand?”
The communicator behind him knew that Della was asking him, so he immediately replied, ”Yes, General, in my opinion, you are a highly qualified military general. According to my understanding, you will not easily surrender to the enemy, just like how you did when you led three cruisers to fight against the pirate crew with 15 ships. In the face of such a harsh environment, you did not retreat, leading your troops to fight against the pirates, sinking three pirate battleships, seriously wounding two of them.
Della looked out at the flames and the smoke. ”Do you see the flames and the smoke?” And those painful wails, do you know why we were so miserably defeated? It was because we were unpopular, war was about time and place, war was about time and place, and we don't occupy anything, and it was the same logic as when I led a few battleships to fend off the pirates, and when we occupied time, land and people were the same, we had powerful support, because we knew that if we did not fight to the death and let the pirates escape, then we would have many relatives and innocent people be harmed, because we believed that we won the last battle, and today our role was precisely to act like the pirates, so we lost, on the one hand, because we lost the second point is our popularity, while we died as the Chinese. However, I now realize that I was wrong. In fact, the failure of the Gome had already given me a wake-up call, but I was also blinded by my own interests, and had lost all sense of reason, which was why I was defeated today. Do you know, if I did not order our surrender, all of us would have become meaningless existences, and even if the soldiers below us were to die, they would also not understand why their enemies were so easily killed. As a qualified general, his mission is to ensure the safety of his subordinates. The Empire will not face danger, and what happened today will just become a simple battle that failed. Do you understand? ”
The communicator seemed to understand, nodding before shaking his head. When Della saw his actions, he forced a smile and said, ”Alright, you can leave. Count the losses.”
The moment he left, Kan Peisi and Ou La rushed over. When they saw Della, they immediately shouted angrily, ”General, why did you give the order to surrender, I am extremely furious about your actions, you turned us all into the criminals of the empire, I am starting to look down on you now.”
”I can understand your feelings, so let me take responsibility for whatever crime you have done. The order was given by me, it has nothing to do with you, as a soldier you are all qualified, you don't bow down on the battlefield, you have courage, but as the commander I think you are unqualified, do you know why?”
General Kan Peisi said angrily: ”On what basis are you saying that we are not qualified commanders? I think you are a disqualified commander, and you are trying to get a false name. ”
Della ignored him and nodded, ”Perhaps you are right, I am indeed just trying to gain a false reputation. You saw it on the way here, the enemy only bombed us twice, look what it is like outside, if the enemy continues to bombard us like this, by the time all their ammunition is dropped, we believe that our fleet is almost sent into the sea, our death is nothing, as the commander we shouldn't be afraid of death, but look, the only thing we found is the enemy's fighter jet, do you see the enemy's warship, the enemy's submarine?” If none of them appeared, what was the problem? This means that we have always been within the enemy's ambush zone, and the enemy has the ability to send us all into the sea. And those warriors below, their families sent them to the battlefield, they already have to live a life of fear, afraid that they will never be able to return. They knew that fighting on would only result in meaningless sacrifices, so why did they keep fighting? If we all died here, how would the families of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers be able to deal with them? What about the Empire? Without our elite troops, who will protect the empire's territory? Isn't this the time to be brave and fierce? Do you still think we have the ability to fight against the Chinese army? Do you still think it makes sense for us to continue fighting? If you think there's any meaning, then go down and prepare to continue fighting. I will immediately cancel the order to surrender. ”
They knew that it was impossible to continue the fight, they had already done their best below, but the soldiers all decided to surrender, they didn't want to fight anymore, that was why they came here to vent their anger, but only after hearing what Dra said did they realize that they were thinking too simply. The one in front of them was the real hero of the battlefield, he knew what he was doing, and he dared to do it, he didn't even flinch, they were deeply ashamed of what they had just said.
Kan Peisi raised his head and apologized: ”General, I apologize for what I said just now, I was indeed thinking too simply.
After all, none of you are willing to surrender on the battlefield. In fact, if there was even a sliver of possibility, I wouldn't choose to make you surrender, as after all, the Empire would also face huge economic losses after surrender, but I have to be responsible for the lives of all the soldiers below us. If I didn't give the order in time, we would probably have already fed the sharks.
Hearing that, Ou La immediately ran to the window to take a look. Unknowingly, he broke out in a cold sweat and stuttered: ”This … How, how is that possible? Why is it that the enemy's submarine has already arrived at our side, and the radar doesn't show it? My god, is the Chinese really that skilled in construction? ”
It could be seen that they were torpedo launchers. Accompanied by the light of the fire, Ou La counted a few times, and each submarine had three openings on one side, which meant that there were definitely three launchers on the other side, adding the two to three launches from the tail, it meant that the enemy's submarine had eight to nine torpedo launchers, and its missile capacity should be between twenty-five to thirty. If they had any missiles, that would be too scary, it would definitely be a nightmare for battleships.
Ou La sighed: ”Hey, why is it that our intelligence is so lacking, we don't even know that the enemy has such an advanced submarine, how can we fight this battle, General you are right, fighting the Chinese is asking for death.”
