Chapter 186 Rebuke
In the 358th Legion, nearly ten thousand brave soldiers are stationed here!
Two hundred thousand magic crystal bullets!
Omg.
On average, each warrior only has twenty magic crystal bullets left.
With such a meager reserve, it is still unknown whether they can withstand the war if the demon cavalry suddenly arrives.
Cao Geng was furious.
"Call everyone back immediately. Damn it, I was only away from the team for a short time, and they acted like this. Damn it, they are all losers. Who allowed them to squander like this? They must be severely reprimanded!"
"Fang Ligong, you have to reflect on this. After I left, I repeatedly warned you to keep a close eye on the operations of the legion. What on earth did you do? There are only 200,000 magic crystal bullets left. Do you know what this means? This is an extremely dangerous situation!"
"We shouldn't have given them too much power. They're all so high on their feet. Damn it, do you really think I'm some earth lord? I've been working hard for the livelihood of the entire legion. I've been running around for the past half month and got drunk four times just to raise resources. I..."
Cao Geng’s anger could not be calmed down.
The reserve of magic crystal bullets is of great importance, as it concerns the survival of the legion!
There is only this little reserve left. If I don't punish him severely, won't I have to wait until we run out of ammunition and food before I know it next time?
Fang Ligong muttered to himself.
He is indeed responsible for this matter.
But the responsibility cannot be entirely placed on him.
It was you, the captain, who gave your subordinates autonomy in the first place.
In order to enable the subordinates to take the initiative to attack, the magic crystal bullets must of course be distributed.
As the five columns split, the reserve volume naturally plummeted.
Most of these 200,000 magic crystal bullets are reserves of the legion headquarters.
It was not until the deputy commanders sent him messages requesting for allocation that he realized something was wrong. He immediately asked them to report the reserve situation and ordered a temporary halt to all operations.
Seeing the captain's angry face, Fang Ligong did not dare to argue.
Fang Ligong was also angry about the behavior of Wu Ziqiang and Shen Quan.
He quickly sent an Eagle letter to inform them that the leader had returned and a meeting was about to be held.
Urge them to come as soon as possible.
Upon hearing the news, Wu Ziqiang, Shen Quan and others immediately rushed back to Wuzhai Town the next day under the escort of the guards.
Before the meeting, Cao Geng also instructed Fang Ligong to write a manuscript to record the key points of criticism at the upcoming meeting.
Wu Ziqiang, Shen Quan and others arrived first and started chatting at the corps headquarters.
Sun Jiang said with a hint of jealousy: "Well, Captain Shen, your last train raid was brilliant. You wiped out four hundred demons in one go, which was really impressive! Teach us how to deal with trains when you have time!"
Shen Quan waved his hand and smiled, "It's all luck. We didn't catch many demons during the attacks on the trains. We were almost ambushed and lost several brothers! The most exciting part was Captain Wu, who captured several fortresses in succession. Now the demons are too scared to show their heads!"
Wu Ziqiang shook his head and said, "In my opinion, the real powerful one is Captain Cheng. He made a lot of money from attacking the puppet army's territory several times! Now he may be the richest among us!"
Just as everyone was praising each other, Fang Ligong approached.
"The meeting is about to begin, come in!"
Stepping into the mysterious council hall, Walter Zoll and his companions felt nervous when they saw Kellogg's face was as gloomy as water.
Finished!
I can’t avoid being reprimanded this time!
As expected, just as the meeting started, Kellogg slammed the table, his thunderous anger directed at the noses of several deputy captains, and reprimanded them one by one without mercy, belittling them to the point of being worthless.
"Aiden Jacob, Sean Grant, can't you two put more thought into fighting the demons and do something other than dealing with the evil puppets? You only bully the weak puppets and pick on the weak. Can't you let me see a real head-on battle?"
"Also, Sean O'Connor, aren't you from the Warriors? They can build a powerful army without any help from their superiors, and can even handle giant cannons and alien weapons. And you, besides wanting magic crystals, still want magic crystals. Can't you learn from Lister Renault and grow with your own strength without relying on external things?"
"Walter Zor, you are such a loser! Are a few magic fortresses worth the risk for your entire legion? Can't you think about how to save magic resources and conquer them cleverly? Damn, attacking a few fortresses has wasted thousands of magic crystals. And you still have the nerve to brag about it. If the soldiers of the Free Alliance hear this, I'm afraid they will laugh their heads off!"
"Can you guys use your brains more in battle and fight me a few battles of wits?"
"If you haven't managed it yourself, you don't know how hard it is. The magic resources allocated by the Military Council are not abundant. Many times, I have to raise funds everywhere to barely survive until now. Remember! Only by being self-sufficient can we grow faster. When you encounter difficulties, remember to solve them by yourself and don't always count on others for help."
"Be smarter from now on. Never back down from a battle you should fight, and don't act rashly in a battle you shouldn't fight. It's a waste of magic crystals!"
"Stop fighting this stupid and useless war. I am not an endless treasure trove. I don't have that many magic crystals for you to squander."
"From now until the next season, no more magic crystals will be distributed to you rascals. But I don't care what method you use, the training of new recruits must continue. If you can't do it, then go and feed the magic beasts. People like that are suitable for that kind of job!"
"From today on, all battles must be counted. The results must be summarized and reported monthly, and I will have the Strategic Department review them. Anyone who dares to start a war rashly will be removed from his position."
……
Kellogg's anger was particularly fierce today, and no one was spared from his rebuke.
After cursing until his mouth was dry, he drank a bowl of cold magic tea.
Then he continued to scold.
Unlike the Free Alliance, they were already accustomed to hard times.
Every battle is carefully calculated, and it has become their instinct.
No one dares to start a useless war easily.
If there were, those people would have spent a long time on the bench.
Walter Zoll and his group are different; they are a new force that has only recently become independent.
It was the first time I took on responsibility alone, and I had not yet developed the habit of calculating.
Curse them until these good-for-nothings feel deeply regretful.
Several deputy captains lowered their heads and silently endured Kellogg's harsh reprimand.
Kellogg berated them for an hour.
After cursing enough and calming down, he finally began to deploy the next task.
"Everyone must write a self-criticism and reflect on their mistakes. It must be no less than 2,000 words and must be submitted within three days. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Walter Zoll and others responded quickly.
They secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally over...
Unexpectedly, the captain's mouth contained endless fear. He scolded for a full hour, and did not repeat a word.
It's amazing!
Fortunately, I had hidden away some of my reserves of magic bullets, otherwise I would not have been able to escape the hardships of this season.
My little brain is really smart!
He drank another bowl of cold magic tea and saw that his subordinates were all deeply aware of their mistakes, at least on the surface.
Cao Geng coughed lightly and arranged the subsequent tasks in a gentle tone.
"To fight against the invasion of the demon army, we must not be reckless, but must plan carefully. Strengthen the investigation of the demon army. Heyuan County has been under the jurisdiction of the Jinsui Army, and now we only have a small corner of Ping'an County. This cannot support the stationing of a large army.
We must occupy a territory as soon as possible to leave a retreat. Continue to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, seek their assistance, and plan a powerful offensive to distract the attention of the demon army and facilitate the action of the 358th Corps.
Everyone go back and prepare. At the end of the year, we will launch a grand battle. During this period, everyone must be fully prepared. The training of the new soldiers must not be slack! "
Upon hearing this, Wu Ziqiang and the others shouted excitedly: "Yes, sir!"
The 358th Legion is adjusting its posture, and the demon army is also reorganizing its forces.
The 358th Legion has been unusually active recently, catching them off guard.
In particular, the irregular attacks from all sides confused the intelligence agencies of the demon army.
The true intentions of Cao's 358th Corps are completely unpredictable.
Until it was rumored that Cao Geng was not in Shanxi at the moment, but went to Shaanxi to visit the commander of the 34th Army, Hu Zongnan, and the commander of the 35th Army, Fu Zuoyi, the Demon Army felt they were facing a formidable enemy.
They were afraid that Cao Geng was planning a major move, such as a surprise attack on Taiyuan City.
This shocked the top brass of the North China Demon Army, with many major generals and lieutenant generals clamoring for an attack to preemptively attack the 358th Corps.
However, they were stopped by Neiji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the North China Demon Army.
Okamura Neiji also wanted to completely destroy the 358th Army, or at least inflict severe damage on it.
But several offensives made him realize that the 358th Corps was not an ordinary Eighth Route Army.
The 358th Legion has a wide range of means.
On the surface, it seemed that both the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Chongqing government no longer interfered with the 358th Corps, leaving it in a situation where no one cared about it.
However, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and Chiang Kai-shek did not completely cut off ties, and there was still room for negotiation between them.
This makes the 358th Legion seem isolated and helpless, but it seems that they can ask anyone for help.
The 358th Legion has its own channels to purchase weapons from the Sulphur Land, and its power is unfathomable.
Several times, the demon army thought they had mastered the full strength of the 358th Legion.
But in the end, it was discovered that the true strength of the 358th Legion far exceeded what the intelligence had known.
Before they knew their opponent's strengths, they did not dare to launch an attack rashly, for fear of falling into Cao Geng's trap.
If he suffers another crushing defeat, he might be forced to resign!
Various intelligence reconnaissance teams were dispatched in an effort to find out what the 358th Legion was up to!
After much investigation, the intelligence personnel of the Special High Technology Bureau finally came to a conclusion.
Okamura Neiji took the information presented by his subordinates and was shocked!
Are you kidding me? ...
