Macho Wars

"Wacky? What are you talking about, man?"

The words of a good friend made Frank a little confused for a while. He didn't think it was a hard job to stay in the Marines, and he wouldn't be stunned.The officers and soldiers here are all top talents, and they speak nicely. He really likes to stay here.

Seeing Frank with a blank face, Andrew was about to persuade him again when a middle-aged non-commissioned officer wearing a special epaulette came over.

Andrew just glanced at the man, and saw that he was not wearing an officer's uniform, and he seemed not to be young, so he ignored him.But when Frank saw the other party, he suddenly stood up and saluted the other party seriously.

"Good afternoon, Sergeant Chiff."

"Good afternoon, Captain Frank. Is this your friend?"

"Yes, let me introduce, this is Andrew Sispano, my classmate friend, now in the 95th Division. This is Keif Doron, the Marine Corps First Sergeant Major, my old superior, Big brother."

"Uh...you, hello."

Looking at the veteran non-commissioned officer who is estimated to be nearly fifty years old, and the respect that does not seem to be false in the eyes of his friends, Andrew felt his mind turned a little.

He had never heard of the rank or position of "sergeant chief" before, and the obvious dark brown complexion and facial features of the veteran in front of him all proved that he was a mixed-race with the indigenous blood of the New World.

The Marine Corps recruited such a lowly man of impure blood into the army, and even made him an intermediate and high-level officer. It was incredible!

It is not easy for Andrew to express his disgust in front of his friends, but his attitude is by no means enthusiastic.

Seems to understand the look in Andrew's eyes, Old Chiff just smiled, confessed something to Frank casually, and then turned and left.

It wasn't until Keiff was away that Andrew confided his doubts to Frank.

"Frank, who was that man just now? I've never heard of a first-level sergeant major, is the rank high?"

"It is the characteristic of our Marine Corps."

The noncommissioned officer reform is not a military secret. Frank simply explained it to his good friend and listed some of the benefits after the reform.It's a pity that Andrew lacks intuitive feelings, and some are doubtful.

At this time, the two of them had unknowingly walked to the small town square of Orphee Town. At this time, the crowd was crowded, and there were soldiers from the Imperial Army everywhere. But others only need a glance to judge whether these soldiers belonged to them by the cleanliness of their clothes. Which force.

Andrew pointed to a group of soldiers not far away and proudly introduced him to Frank.

"There are my subordinates, and I will lead them to win glory and victory on the battlefield."

"It looks pretty good, some good soldiers."

Frank praised a few politely. He spent almost a year in the Marines and experienced a lot of actual combat.So he could tell at a glance that Andrew's company, although well-trained, had never seen blood.

If such a unit is handed over to an experienced company commander, coupled with a few senior non-commissioned officers, it will soon be able to form good combat effectiveness.

But Andrew obviously couldn't talk about rich experience. Frank, out of friendship and concern, didn't want his friend to do anything wrong, so he wanted to remind him a few words.

"Man, I have a few words to tell you. You have just arrived in the Far East and it is your first time to participate in actual combat. There are no bullets on the battlefield. You must always be careful."

"Frank, why do you have the same tone as my mother, mother-in-law is not your character."

"No, buddy, you didn't understand what I meant. I wanted to call you..."

Frank was trying to teach Andrew some lessons he learned from the Marine Corps veterans, so that this kid wouldn't make any trouble on the battlefield, but a Marine Corps soldier not far away suddenly ran over to find him.

"Boss, why are you here? We are about to start, my brothers are waiting for you!"

"So fast? Obviously...I rely on! Why is this more than two o'clock!?"

Raising his hand and looking at his watch, Frank was shocked. He had been talking to Andrew for almost two hours without knowing it.This time is passing fast, as if every minute is missing several seconds.

Seeing that the troops were about to start pulling out, Frank didn't delay too much, so he could only simply tell Andrew a few words to let him listen to the advice of his veterans, and then hurried away.

As for the difference between the two, it will be several months before they meet again...

Chapter 308

In the afternoon of the second day after the Independence Regiment and the remnants of Tarrans withdrew from the town of Offi, they returned to the temporary capital Nas in the rear.Dragon was called to the legion command the first time, Henry was anxious to see him.

As soon as Dragon entered the command center, he clearly felt a tense atmosphere similar to that of the battlefield. Staff officers and civilians were busy like small tops, spinning quickly from one place to another.

Henry's adjutant greeted him quickly.

"Colon Lee, come with me, the commander is waiting for you."

"What happened again?"

"The specific situation is inconvenient for me to elaborate here, let's go to the office first."

The two walked quickly through the long corridor to the innermost door.The adjutant stepped forward and knocked on the door, before waiting for a response from the inside, he pushed the door directly and entered.

"Sir, Colonel Lee is here."

After less than two weeks, Dragon saw Henry again, the old general was already haggard and not looking like he looked like.In addition, Levsto and Karen of Tarrans were also there, and everyone seemed to be over-cultivating.

When Dragon came in, Henry was sitting behind the big desk, frowning at an urgent telegram with a "red head", and seeing that his most powerful subordinate had returned, he managed to squeeze a smile.

"Li, sit down for a while, I'll finish watching."

"Okay, General."

Seeing Henry lowered his head to look at the document again, Dragon walked to the big map aside, which clearly marked the current deployment of the enemy and our forces.There are confrontations on all sides in the Guangfu District, and the situation is not optimistic.

"The situation is unfavorable! But..."

"but what?"

"It's not that there is no turning point."

Dragon turned his head and looked to his side. Levsto was standing to his right, with Karen behind him.

This princess who likes to wear a long black gauze dress is a rare change in a military uniform at this time. Although it is a gorgeous military dress, it is enough to show her determination.

The two looked at each other, and Karen showed a quiet smile, nodding slightly at Dragon, everything seemed to be silent.

At this time Henry finally read the file, he got up and came to the map, patted Dragon on the shoulder and said.

"Lee, you did a good job in Orphee Town. If you hadn't blocked the federal guys, we might have been forced to the beach now."

"This is what we should do, General."

"Well, there is no need to be so humble. With so many heads and divisions in the Expeditionary Army, no one except you can defend the town of Orphee under those conditions, and I can't do it. Your strength is obvious to all."

Looking at Dragon, who was still humble, Henry's eyes were full of admiration, thinking that if he could have a few more capable men like this, the current situation might not be what it is.

Henry knew very well in his heart that this war in the Far East might become the final chapter of his military career.Originally wanted to take this one step further, but after the fourth division was a mess, he, the commander of the legion, could not shirk the blame.

Henry only hopes to reverse the situation, help the Tarrans fight for a favorable situation, and by the way make his closing ceremony not so ugly.
