Chapter 1183: Chapter 580: Beating the Master with Wild Punches! (Part 3)
“Will Paul Constantine Stuart have any opinions?”
Victor waved his hand, “All communication has to co through Bramo, he wouldn’t dare talk to directly. Even if he has opinions, he’s holding them back.”
Just worried he’d hold them back too much.
Knock, knock, knock—
As the two were deep in conversation, soone knocked on the door.
“Co in.”
Military secretary Martin Bao Man ca in, “Sir, the latest military news: Two F-117A ‘Nighthawks’ and three F16s from New xico have breached Chihuahua State airspace, encountering our three routinely patrolling F-15Es over Juarez, and engaged in combat.”
“What’s the situation?”
“We shot down one F-117A, damaged one, and blew up one F16 from their side, with one of our aircraft downed, but the pilot parachuted to safety and was rescued.”
“New xico State.”
Victor furrowed his brow, “Trying to stir up trouble, it seems.”
“Which unit is stationed in Juarez?”
“The Eastern Theater’s 5th Army, 179th Army.” Casare quickly replied; his speed made the military secretary next to him shoot him a glance.
To rember every unit’s jurisdiction for the boss’s queries, Fat Casare was reciting day and night. Do you think being a subordinate is easy?
“Otto Moritz Walter Model?”
Victor’s eyebrows raised upon hearing the unit, “I rember he still has a disciplinary action hanging over him, right?”
Casare and Martin Bao Man exchanged looks, “Yes.”
“During the Sotolamarina beach landing, he was a division commander, and his defense against the U.S. Military was outstanding. I was ready to comnd him with a personal honor title, but then the ‘military corruption’ issue arose, and I rember very clearly that afterward, the First-class rit award for the 179th Division was halted, and he received a disciplinary action. They must harbor a lot of resentnt, don’t they?”
No one dared to answer.
“If it were , I’d be resentful too; human nature dictates that one should have sothing to show for the efforts of risking life in battle, doesn’t it?”
Victor muttered to himself, picked up the cigarettes on the desk, and squinted his eyes, “Arrange a call with the headquarters of the 179th Army; I want to speak with Otto Moritz Walter Model.”
“Yes!”
The military secretary Martin rushed to make arrangents.
…
In Juarez, Chihuahua State.
Otto Moritz Walter Model listened to his subordinate’s report with a solemn expression, hands folded behind him, when he heard a knock on the door and a staff officer pushed in.
“Didn’t I say not to interrupt during etings?”
The officers present all looked at the Captain staff officer, who was visibly sweating, “General, a phone call from xico City, the Supre Leader wants to speak with you.”
Otto Moritz Walter Model imdiately jumped up, “Why didn’t you say so earlier!”
He rushed out of the office anxiously.
Captain Staff Officer: ????
He returned to the office, took a deep breath to calm his racing heartbeat, and picked up the phone, “Supre Leader—”
“Otto, are you scolding your subordinates again?”
“No, no.”
“You’re too strict; you need to get along better with your comrades, don’t overdo it.” Victor offered so mild advice before getting to the point, “I heard there’s movent of troops in New xico State?”
“Yes, according to my intelligence, the 27th Special Operations Regint and the 150th Special Operations Regint, totaling around 6,000 personnel, are moving towards the border…”
“Strike back!” Victor stated firmly.
“I’ve suspended the First-class rit award for the 179th Division and given you a disciplinary action; are you still holding a grudge over this?”
“I wouldn’t dare—”
“Not daring or unable to? No need to be so reserved; I’m giving you an opportunity now: I order the 179th Army to strike first, to counter-attack into New xico State, proactive over reactive!”
“I’ll give orders to Goodrian to cooperate with you.”
??! A district commander cooperating with an army commander????
“As long as you achieve a victorious start, I’ll return both your comndations and the 179th’s First-class rit award to you.”
Otto Moritz Walter Model’s breath quickened instantly, swallowing hard, “Supre Leader, do you an it?”
“Did I call to joke with you?”
“Just tell , do you have the confidence!”
“Promise to complete the task, the 179th Army will forever be the Combat Vanguard of the xican Army!”
Victor was very satisfied but still added, “Make sure your slogans aren’t just loud noises. I’m giving you the greatest autonomy; extend the battle line into New xico State. If you can’t do it well, I will replace you.”
“Yes!”
After hanging up, Otto Moritz Walter Model’s eyes glead as he walked out calling, “Order all division commanders to gather in the eting room!”
“If not here in twenty minutes, go feed the pigs.”
