Sitting in the command center, Anthony looked disappointed. The staff kept reporting the situation, but he could no longer listen.
Failure, he suffered the biggest failure in his life, and perhaps the failure of the United States. This unjust war, this war launched with the interference of domestic consortiums, eventually led to the possible collapse of the entire United States. Perhaps in the future One day, the United States will face the greatest crisis since its founding.
Anthony no longer wanted to think about these things. He suddenly stood up, glanced at the people around him with his smart eyes, and then said: "Surrender."
As soon as these two words were spoken, the tense command center calmed down for an instant. Everyone's faces were full of surprise, but in the end they showed great unwillingness. Their paused movements seemed like time had stopped. Until the chief of staff said seriously: "Sir, what did you just say?"
"Surrender." Anthony gritted his teeth and repeated, "This is not our failure, but the failure of national policy. If we did not fight this damn war, if we did not interfere with this country, perhaps there would be no failure today. , so it’s not that we didn’t try our best, it’s that justice is not on our side.”[
Although Anthony was comforting everyone, everyone in the command center felt a deep sense of loss.
After being nervous, they didn't know what to do next. The Armored Brigade of the Prophet Army had already broken through to their restricted area. The sound of artillery fire and the sound of counterattacks were mixed together, but the Mountain Division and the Airborne Division had gained nothing. , the artillery group of the Prophet Army had already quickly evacuated and hid after pouring out all the artillery fire.
When the plane and the two divisions rushed back, they were already facing the current situation. The Prophet Army attacked the vicinity of Bagram Air Force Base at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing that artillery fire was about to pour down again, suddenly the entire battlefield became calm. When everyone thought that this would be the eve of a storm, a standard American English speech suddenly appeared in their communications: "Put down your weapons, Accept the surrender. If you dare to resist, Bagram Air Base will be your graveyard."
The voice was very young, even with a hint of Texas accent, but they heard the winner's declaration clearly.
The staff officer in charge of intelligence finally understood why their information could not be sent out. This was because the Prophet Army had already mastered their data links and intelligence links. The Prophet Army knew exactly what they were doing. I am afraid it was thanks to them. If the trained Afghan National Army had not leaked secrets, the U.S. military might not be in this situation.
After listening to this voice, Anthony ordered again: "Use a wire to notify all aircraft to land at the airport and surrender to the Prophet Army."
"Why, we still have two bases where planes can fly." At this moment, one of the staff officers wondered, and he was very unwilling.
"Even we didn't stop the Prophet Army. How long do you think those two bases that are constantly attacked by terrorist organizations can hold on." Anthony said forcefully, "Surrender, the losses they suffer will be minimized."
"Then why don't we surrender to the Afghan National Army? You must know that the Prophet of the Prophet Army is a butcher. It's not like you don't know how they deal with the US troops in Iraq." Another staff officer said.
Anthony shook his head: "We only surrender to the truly strong. Are you going to grovel in front of those you personally trained?"
Everyone was silent. In the next half hour, they did not do anything to burn data or destroy equipment, because the Prophet Army had already obtained the data and intelligence that should be obtained, and even burning these things would be enough. Useless.
When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Clark met at Bagram Air Force Base, both of them showed expressions of relief. For two days, they fought very hard. They did not dare to close their eyes for a second, and no one wanted to rest. , for fear that once they fell asleep, they would not be able to wake up, but today, they finally succeeded.
Jabbar walked to the command center and was a little surprised when he saw the scene inside, but he quickly recovered. Clark said: "Which of you is General Anthony?"
"I." The decadent Anthony stood up, "You are the commander of this army."
He glanced at it and found that Clark was the oldest, so he thought Clark was the commander, but Clark shook his head and said, "He is."
For a moment, everyone in the command center was stunned. This man in military uniform only had the rank of captain, and he was so young. He looked like just an adjutant. How could he be the commander?
Anthony didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the firmness in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's eyes, he believed it: "I didn't lose unjustly. If it were me, I might not have done as well as you. You are a respectable young man." .”
The Americans in the command center were all dumbfounded. General Anthony rarely praised anyone. In his eyes, except for Natasha, the top commander of the US military in Iraq, there were few people with tactical talent in the entire United States. Even Even people like Taylor are just idiots in Anthony's eyes.[
"You are also worthy of respect. Although your command ability is not very good, you are an excellent commander." Jabbar said contradictoryly.
Anthony was stunned for a moment, but he smiled reluctantly. Everyone thought that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was proud, but in fact he was not, because the meaning behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's words was very simple. Anthony was not a genius in commanding. Anthony himself admitted this, after all Nowadays, the tactics of the US military have basically formed a routine. The US military with advanced equipment only needs to use their weapons according to this routine to achieve the goal of winning the war.
Therefore, the US military, which relies too much on weapons, actually does not have too many generals, but their advantage lies in their strong national power, leading technology, and more advanced weapons.
But a good commander must not only be able to issue orders to attack, but also must have the authority to issue orders to surrender.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar does not think that it is brave to issue an attack order when he knows that he will lose. On the contrary, no matter how strong his commanding ability is, he does not know how to tolerate and give in in that situation and save the lives of his soldiers. , that kind of commander cannot be called an excellent commander, at best he can be called stupid.
Therefore, even though the two sides belong to different camps, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar believes that Anthony is an excellent commander and an excellent general.
Just like Canglong has always indulged Natasha, knowing that she will lose, so everything Natasha does is to protect her subordinates. The most important thing as a commander is not to keep his soldiers on the battlefield. Victory, on the contrary, is the commander who can take the soldiers home and see their wives, sons and daughters, is the truly best commander, regardless of whether they win on the battlefield.
As for the concept of sacrifice, Jabbar also has his own definition, which depends on whether the soldiers are willing to sacrifice. Just like the Prophet Army, under the leadership of Heichang, the heavy armored division of the former Second Army faced 20,000 US troops.
The 1st Armored Division refused to take a step back.
It's not because Hei Chang gave an order on the battlefield to shoot anyone who retreated, nor was it because Hei Chang said how many US dollars would be the reward for killing an American soldier.
None of these. What really makes the soldiers of the Prophet Army fearless of death is their backside, which is the home they have built so hard. If they take a step back, the guns of the US military will be pointed at their wives, children and parents, so they
They would rather die and rush under the guns of the US military than take a step back.
This is the real sacrifice that Jabbar believes, so in his eyes, Heichang is a famous general, a status that even the prophet cannot surpass.
The central yng garrison armored division he led also shoulders the same mission. They must open up the transportation artery of Afghanistan so that the new Iraq can survive the attack of multinational forces and so that they can win the real z you and u l.
Get the Iraq that belongs to the Iraqis.
For this purpose, they conducted a sleepless march for two days and two nights, captured one US military base after another, and rushed to another base non-stop. On this plateau, they could not get any sleep, which was worse than in the desert.
It's even worse when sleeping.
Jabbar knew that many of his men died of exhaustion due to lack of oxygen on the march, but some people complained that they had to retreat because they shouldered a mission, the mission of 80 million new Iraqis, as long as they can do it
At this point, death is worth it.
With Anthony's cooperation, the Prophet Army began to accept the surrender of the US military. From the famous 10th Mountain Division to the 101st Airborne Division, nearly 50,000 people were captured. There were more than 100 advanced aircraft at Bagram Air Base.
racks, all sealed in the hangar.
As Jabbar sat in the command center, he had a feeling that he wanted to sleep, but he knew he couldn't sleep because his soldiers had also slept, Afghanistan had not all fallen into their hands, and there were two US military bases to go to.
He went to capture it. Although it was not a tough battle, he still faced it very cautiously.
His little experience tells him that he cannot underestimate any enemy, even if he is about to win.
Therefore, he issued nearly dozens of orders while tired. If it weren't for his youth and energy, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
But when I think of the burden on my body, all the fatigue disappears.
"Chief, there are people from the National Army. They said they are going to take over Bagram Air Force Base." Just as he narrowed his eyes slightly, the voice of the staff officer suddenly came.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar immediately cheered up and asked, "Where's Clark?"
"The colonel has already taken his people to the US military base in Jalalabad," the staff officer said.[
"Oh." Jabbar nodded, but then thought of something, "What did you just say."
Seeing the tiredness on Jabbar's young face, the staff couldn't bear it. In fact, it was very difficult for him to do this at such a young age. Even they were honed in the long war.
, but this young leader is different.
But despite this, the staff officer had some advice, because in this army, everyone has everyone's responsibility, so he repeated what he just said.
After hearing this, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's face darkened: "Did they take away all the weapons we captured before?"
"Yes, they also injured our garrison." The staff officer said, feeling very angry. "There are many advanced fighter jets in Bagram Air Base, and its geographical location is also very important. If we have this as a forward position,
In the future, guarding the entire Afghan railway transportation line will play a huge role."
"Let's go out and take a look." Jabbar nodded and then stood up.
