After the theater meeting is over, Hathaway has a Jolly Roger meeting on her agenda, with only senior generals participating.
At the beginning of the meeting, Hathaway briefly reported the contents of the temporary meeting in the war zone, and explained that she would not cooperate for the time being, waiting for the decision of the family elders council. Most generals had no objections to this. After all, more than half of the military expenditures for the Jolly Roger came from Wen.
The Wenton family, they are naturally members of the Wenton family.
Hathaway originally just made a routine briefing, then asked about the training of the new recruits, and was about to end the meeting. At this moment, a middle-aged general suddenly said: "There are so many soldiers on the front line who are going through life and death, and we are just hiding here.
Things are not going well in the rear, okay? We are considered to be the first-class elites of the Federation after all. It has been a long time since the war started and we fought a big battle, still in spectator mode, and lost. It seems a bit embarrassing to tell it."
Hathaway glanced at the general, not very familiar with him, and silently called up his information to look at it. The general himself was also a member of the Winton family, and had been serving in the federal army before. During a fierce battle last year,
The fleet he was in was almost wiped out, and he was seriously injured. After recovering from his injuries, the original fleet designation had been cancelled, and the Jolly Roger was resting, so the family cut him off and sent him to the Jolly Roger. He was killed on the battlefield like this
All parties will regard the general as a valuable asset, and Winton also attaches great importance to it.
Therefore, Hathaway was not angry, but explained: "The fleets that the war zone wants to assemble this time are all affiliated to various legions. It is difficult to unify the command and have different combat qualities. Just send them to the battlefield like this, just to let them go
Die."
The general sneered: "After all, aren't you afraid of death?"
Hathaway said patiently: "Whether we go to war or not is not something I can decide. It has to be decided by the Council of Elders."
"It won't work this way, that won't work either. Are you, the legion commander, responsible for training and eating and drinking?" The general said unceremoniously.
No matter how good-tempered Hathaway is, she can't stand it anymore, not to mention her temper has never been very good. Her face darkened and she said: "My responsibilities are very clear. If you are not clear, you can check the regulations. In addition, if you have any questions about my
If you are dissatisfied with the decision, you can complain to the Presbyterian Council, but before a decision is made here, you must obey my orders!"
With a bang, the general slammed the table and said loudly: "What do you mean, you still have to obey? To be honest, I have long disliked you. If it weren't for a good father, would you be able to sit in this position? I understand you.
I'm afraid of death. If I had such a good background, I wouldn't want to die. But my background is not too bad, so why can't I think about it so hard and want to go to the battlefield? "
The general looked around and then said: "That's because all my friends, brothers, and comrades-in-arms are dead! They died beside me, in front of my eyes! I was missing a leg at that time, and I wanted to climb to the gun emplacement.
Unfortunately, I passed out and was already in the hospital when I woke up. From then on, I swore that I would take off Xu Bingyan’s head to avenge my brothers! But it’s been a few months since I returned to the army, and every day
In addition to training, when will we go to the battlefield? If you don’t dare to go, just let me go, and don’t hinder me!”
After that, he spat heavily on the ground and said: "Woman!"
All the generals remained silent, waiting to see Hathaway's response.
Hathaway knocked on the table lightly, and two guards walked into the conference room. Hathaway calmly ordered: "Put this general in a solitary room and wait for further decisions."
The general sneered and said: "You don't need to scare me with confinement, and don't humiliate me. How about you release me back to the federal army and we can get together and relax?"
Hathaway ignored him and said to the guard: "Execute the order!"
Two guards lifted the general up and took him out of the conference room. The generals who stayed behind were a little awe-inspiring, seeing Hathaway's toughness and determination, but many people expressed disapproval. Now is a war period, and the military
The emphasis is on being able to fight. Generals who rely on nepotism and politics will naturally be looked down upon. After all, Hathaway is too young. He is the youngest commander of the first-line army in the entire federation. Under normal circumstances, this position would be a must.
Being a general and a lieutenant general is already very rare. However, Hathaway has only just become a major general, so it would be unreasonable to immediately promote him to lieutenant general.
On the other hand, most of Hathaway's achievements are in real dreams, and the things there are highly confidential. Not many people in the entire federation know the meaning of real dreams. On the real battlefield, Hathaway's achievements are indeed somewhat unjustifiable.
, the first time he raided Planet 4, the entire army was annihilated, and he became a prisoner and needed the rescue of his family. The second time he participated in the landing battle on Planet 4, he spent the whole process paddling and holding Morgan back. Later, Crassus was defeated miserably.
Jolly Roger also lost some people. In the final analysis, Hathaway did not have a good record at all.
But having said that, Hathaway's background is quite strong. Austin publicly expressed his love for this girl, and Crassus also got closer to Hathaway. Hathaway's own father and grandfather are both
The most powerful person in the Winton family, she has strong internal and external relations. There are only two or three people in the entire younger generation of Winton who can compare with her, so everyone knows very well that as long as Hathaway does not make big mistakes, this army will be destroyed.
The long position allows for a stable sitting position.
But they knew clearly in their hearts that everyone was still very dissatisfied with retreating to the rear. After all, many generals of the Jolly Roger were trained on the battlefield, and they would not be afraid of war even if they were not fanatical about it.
With the general's attack and disruption, the meeting ended hastily. Hathaway left the conference room and walked to his office. As soon as he reached the corner of the passage, he encountered several school officers and staff members gathered together to discuss the content of the discussion.
It was also a mockery of Hathaway's inability to fight, being greedy for life and afraid of death, and would only hide in the rear and dare not go to the front line.
These words happened to be heard by Hathaway and the adjutant who was following behind. The adjutant suddenly became angry and shouted: "Are you guys all idle? When did you need to care about and discuss the army's strategy? You yourself
Go to the solitary room to report, and then each person submits a review!"
Several staff officers looked resentful and went downstairs to the solitary room.
Back in the office, Hathaway saw an emergency report, which stated that demonstrations had occurred at the Jolly Roger bases in multiple systems. Local citizens surrounded the gate of the Jolly Roger base to protest against their non-resistance strategy.
Hathaway sighed, knowing that the theater commander had already taken action, and this was only the first step.
