Chapter 96: The Generals' Decision
Rogers's face has never been as dark as it is today. Even during the days when he was captured by the Chinese in Fusang and waited for the United States to rescue, he has never been as embarrassed as he is now!
Or it was no longer dark, but a deep despair! Even if the car was bumping on the road full of bullet craters, it could not pull Rogers out of his despair!
He has been the American general who has defeated war twice, and he is the first general in history to be wiped out twice! Such a shame will accompany him for the rest of his life! Perhaps even after his death, he will erode his bones!
At this time, Rogers could only constantly blame himself in his heart. Perhaps after being rescued and returned home, he should have been paralyzed or died directly. He only had to endure a failure once, and he did not need to return to his motherland discouraged again!
"General Rogers, General Rogers!" Sitting in the command car, the Supreme Chief of Staff of the Goryeo Command beside Rogers had already called Rogers in a low voice for the seventh time. Until he gently shook Rogers' shoulders with his hands, Rogers raised his head woodenly!
The chief of staff was surprised to find that Rogers, whose eyes were bloodshot, had only a few white-haired blonde hairs, now all turned white, as old as a dying old man!
The loose muscles on the face no longer have the glory of the past. The great general who once galloped on the battlefield and spread across Fusang seemed to have grown decades overnight. Even if he wanted to hear the Chief of Staff clearly, he had to poke his head forward!
The Chief of Staff was a little sad. Although Rogers was known for his arrogance and arrogance in the army, he was indeed a good general! After Fusang's failure, he took on all the responsibilities alone. Although many people were thinking in advance that the cunning Rogers had to find many scapegoats to go to hell with him, but when it was surprising that this general who always did what he did, took on all the infamous and responsibilities at the most critical moment!
This is also the reason why he has been silent for a long time! Now that the Chief of Staff sees the glory no longer, perhaps the general who can only die slowly in shame has an indescribable sadness in his heart! Perhaps, this is the ultimate collective fate of their soldiers!
"General!" The Chief of Staff calmed down, but he still said with a choking voice: "General Rogers, a telegram has been sent from the country that a new 200,000 reinforcements will land from Goryeo, and in addition, there are 100,000 people in the Marine Corps gathering! The 50,000 troops of the Airborne Division will set off from the local area tomorrow! We have new capital!"
The Chief of Staff talked for a long time before Rogers nodded symbolically. He opened his already turbid eyes and looked out the window at the ruined Nan Goryeo City after the war, and said sadly: "It's over! It's over! We all failed! Even if we send more troops, we can't save my defeat! Let the children go home, and don't sacrifice their young and precious lives in this battlefield far away from the country!"
The Chief of Staff looked at Rogers in surprise. He could not believe it. Such words were spoken by Rogers, who ignored everything in pursuit of victory! Shouldn’t Rogers say at this time: “Okay! That’s great! We still have hope, and I still have the capital to get back! I want to clean up all the people of North Korea!”
But the figure of Xiao Suo left to the Chief of Staff was so lonely and helpless, as if this war that could exhaust all his brain and intelligence had really dragged down Rogers' will and everything! The pride of the United States was dead in this war! At least, in the eyes of the Chief of Staff, Rogers's fighting soul was completely dead!
Suddenly, the satellite phone on the command car rang. The Chief of Staff looked at Rogers with a sigh, picked up the satellite phone and answered it! But after just a moment, the Chief of Staff's face began to become more and more ugly. After hearing it, the Chief of Staff's face turned gray, as if he had seen the end of the world!
The Chief of Staff finally didn't know how he hung up the phone. He put the phone aside in despair. After a long time, the Chief of Staff raised his head with difficulty and whispered to Rogers who had not paid attention to him at all: "General Rogers, it's really bad news. Just after we left Hanhe City, the North Goryeo army had occupied there an hour ago! All members of the South Goryeo government, except for the vice president, were all captured by the North Goryeo army!"
This earth-shaking news would have made Rogers jump up in a hurry if it were usually done, but now Rogers, who was already in a state of despair, just smiled slightly in his ears, as if confirming his failure and incompetence. He actually smiled faintly: "We have failed, everything is over, everything is over! It's time to go home!"
In the sky, a roar of rumbling planes suddenly came. Rogers looked into the sky through the window. They were countless American planes captured by the Northern Goryeo people. Now under the pilot of the Northern Goryeo pilots, these most advanced planes in the world have begun to accurately intercept the teams they retreated!
Under the control of a North Goryeo pilot who was not skilled in flying advanced aircraft, a heat-induced missile and an electronically guided missile made the most terrifying blow to the American retreat team winding like an ant on the ground!
Rogers saw a Mercedes-Benz armored vehicle not far away being bombed by an air-to-ground missile for a long time and finally landed on the ground. The burning flame seemed to be the last bit of life when death. Rogers leaned on the back of the chair! He was quietly waiting to go home. Perhaps, he would never go back to that home!
Hanhecheng was just recaptured by the Southern Goryeo and the Mid-Americans, but now it is once again trapped in the control of the Northern Goryeo. The streets are full of patrolling Northern Goryeo soldiers, bayonets are dazzling, armored vehicles are rumbling, and the road is rumbling all day long!
But this time, the trembling citizens of Hanhecheng discovered that the terrifying Northern Goryeo people seemed to be different from before!
The soldiers in North Goryeo and those in suits were no longer forcing them to make those disgusting vows, and they did not go under martial law before dark at night, but changed to twelve oath late at night! All the shops can be opened normally and the school can continue to attend classes! Everything is the same as before, but the soldiers in the city changed from the green camouflage uniforms of the South Goryeo army to the earthy camouflage uniforms of the North Goryeo people!
At first, no one could believe that all this was true! But after several days, the soldiers of North Goryeo never harassed a person. They even saw some things they could not tolerate before, and pretended not to see them, and whistled and passed by!
Hanhecheng began to boil, and people running around began to discuss whether these Northern Goryeo people had their brains washed after being beaten back, and whether they would finally use their thinking heads like pigs to think about things!
People began to become more and more bold, and Hanhecheng also restored the charm of his world-class city! And those traditional and conservative Northern Goryeo troops still turned a blind eye, and most of them enjoyed in this world that they had never seen before!
Although most Han and urban residents still hate these Northern Goryeo people very much because of the arrival of these people that destroyed their homes and killed innocent relatives! But now that they can live in such a situation where they do not interfere with each other, no one is willing to remember those painful things anymore. After all, time can forget everything! Although the pain is still there, those are just memories!
Nighthawk and North Goryeo's most senior commander Li Longhai stood in front of the glass window of the parliament building, looking at the busy scene on the streets in the distance, Nighthawk couldn't help but smile and said to Li Longhai: "General Li, take the liberty to ask, can you see such a prosperous scene in your capital? I think everyone can live freely, which is more realistic than those false equality!"
Li Longhai had been standing in front of the glass window for a long time. When he heard the nighthawk talking, Li Longhai couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Northern Goryeo is a barren place, and the soil is not as fertile as Southern Goryeo! However, our mineral resources are rich, but the country cannot develop effectively! Coupled with the autocracy of the supreme leader, we have become one of the most terrifying countries in the world in the eyes of the United States! Various sanctions follow one after another, but we can only live in a dream! No one can imagine such a life!"
Li Longhai turned around and said sincerely to Jin Zhibin, who was sitting on the Speaker's office chair: "General Jin, I am your defeated general! I have deeply experienced your power on the battlefield! I don't want to say anything else, I will accept all the suggestions you have made! If Mr. Nighthawk had not helped in time this time, I'm afraid I've been shot dead by the Supreme Leader in the capital!"
Li Longhai seemed to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes. Thinking about the unfair treatment he received when he returned to the capital even though he worked hard and had no chance to refute him! Li Longhai felt discouraged and had no meaning of struggle in such a world!
Jin Zhibin stood up with a smile, bowed to Li Longhai very gentlemanly, and said gratefully: "General Li, victory and defeat on the battlefield are common affairs. Being able to fight with an excellent general like you and fighting wits and courage is my lifelong glory! And what I thank you most is on behalf of all the Goryeo people for your profound righteousness! Thank you for leading one million Northern Goryeo troops and making great sacrifices for the peaceful reunification of the motherland!"
Li Longhai turned his head with some sadness and looked at the distant north and said, "Sacrifice, if it is really like that, I'm afraid none of my family will survive!"
Nighthawk patted Li Longhai on the shoulder from behind and comforted him with great calmness: "General Li, don't worry! Since it is a peaceful unification, we will not let any problems with your family!"
Li Longhai suddenly turned his head, his eyes shining with a light of expectation!
