Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Brigadier General Winter, the commander of the British 7th Armored Brigade, is on vacation and has finally returned to the mainland from Germany to garrison; he may be sent to the front line of the Falklands one day. As a soldier, if you can't understand this, you probably won't be able to become a general.

Soldiers spend most of their time in military camps and rarely spend time with their families. After finally coming back, maybe when will the next meeting be? It can be said that I cherish it very much.

The phone at home suddenly rang, giving him a bad premonition; could it be that the war in the Falkland Islands was so urgent that he had to rush to rescue immediately, otherwise he should not disturb his rest at this time.

Although he was reluctant, he still answered the call; he learned that he needed to return to the army immediately. You can never avoid what you know is coming. Soldiers take it as their bounden duty to obey orders. It is your duty to go into battle and kill the enemy, and there is nothing to complain about; if you retreat at this time, you are not worthy of being a soldier at all.

After arriving at the temporary base of the army, he saw that all the officers on leave had arrived; Brigadier General Winter was very pleased that at least the combat quality of the troops was commendable. As an elite unit of the British Army, it had been stationed in Germany before. It had to be prepared for the Soviets to attack at any time, so the entire brigade was extremely vigilant.

It is definitely much stronger than the British troops; this is one of the reasons why the Iron Lady insisted on sending this army. Of course, there are other ideas, that is, after suppressing the riots and heading directly to the front line of the Falkland Islands, the pressure will naturally be much less.

To put it nicely, it means suppressing a riot. If it is deliberately interpreted by someone with ulterior motives, it may be said that it is a use of force against unarmed civilians. You can imagine the pressure that the 7th Armored Brigade will have to bear. If you go directly to the front line, it is hard for others to say anything; and there is no way to slander him, that is, you are helping the enemy; you will definitely get the punishment you deserve.

It can be said that everything is calculated by the Iron Lady, and it is not difficult to see from this; from a milkman to the Prime Minister of the British Empire, she is indeed an extraordinary person.

Brigadier General Winter had just arrived at the headquarters, and the director of the Prime Minister's Office was already waiting for him; this made him a little confused.

In fact, the Iron Lady also thought about sending someone else over, but in the end she found that there was no suitable candidate. The mess must be cut quickly, and the director of the Prime Minister's Office is an absolute confidant; at the same time, he is very clear about the intention of dispatching the army this time. Being straightforward and eliminating intermediate links can quell the riot as soon as possible.

Of course, Brigadier General Winter, the director of the Prime Minister's Office, would not believe it; the Ministry of National Defense also sent a colonel-level officer to accompany him. Senior generals cherish their feathers very much and suppress domestic riots; it is not a glorious thing, so it is better not to participate. Of course, I am also worried about settling the scores in the future and getting angry.

The Adjutant General passed orders from No. 10 Downing Street and the Ministry of Defense directly to Brigadier General Winter, as military director of the force; he was required to issue any orders.

Seeing that he actually ordered the 7th Armored Brigade to march to Scotland, Brigadier General Winter instantly understood what it meant; news about the Scottish people's march had spread all over the world, so he naturally knew it.

The UK is relatively democratic, but people are treated unfairly. They take to the streets to demonstrate and the police are deployed to maintain order. But the military has never been deployed before.

You must know that they are heavy armored troops and are one of the most effective troops in the UK. During World War II, they even fought from North Africa to Myanmar. It is an exaggeration to say that enemies are frightened wherever they go, but at least they are the kind of people who will never fall behind against any powerful enemy. There is no problem in going to the Falkland Islands; but it is really difficult to attack the unarmed people of the country directly.

The director of the Prime Minister's Office naturally understood what Brigadier General Winter was worried about, so he said directly: "Your Excellency General, the current situation is extremely critical. The Scottish people have turned from demonstrations to riots. Moreover, foreign intelligence organizations are involved, and the KGB is behind the scenes. few."

"Scottish heavy industry, as well as the oil industry; it is related to the supply of frontline soldiers in the Falkland Islands. If the situation is allowed to develop, the British Empire is likely to lose control of the Falkland Islands; in serious cases, it may even lead to the annihilation of the expeditionary fleet."

"There is no time for us to consider now, and the Prime Minister does not want to see bloodshed; but at this moment the British Empire has no choice. As a senior general of the empire, I hope you can understand the nature of the mission."

When it came to frontline army supplies, Brigadier General Winter immediately paid attention to it; as a soldier, although he was not on the battlefield at the moment, he knew very well what losing supplies meant.

Brigadier General Winter is always paying attention to the war on the front line of the Falkland Islands, and the 7th Armored Brigade may go there at any time; as a commander, he must be responsible for the lives of the entire brigade. According to the analysis of the news that has come back in recent times, the British Empire has not taken any advantage; the battlefield situation is developing in a direction that is not conducive to Britain. At such a critical moment, basic supplies cannot be guaranteed; then what awaits the British Empire will be catastrophe.

The order had been issued, and the battle on the front line was urgent. Brigadier General Winter did not hesitate at all. He directly said to the adjutant: "Order the entire brigade soldiers to assemble urgently."

After hearing this, the director of the Prime Minister's Office finally put his heart in his stomach; he was really worried that the other party would refuse to carry out the order. After all, dealing with the country's own people is not within the scope of the 7th Armored Brigade's responsibilities.

After all, it was an elite force. It took less than 3 minutes; it had been assembled and moved very quickly.

Brigadier General Winter came to the brigade officers and soldiers and said loudly: "Young men, after receiving an urgent order, enemy agents broke into the Scottish parade, causing the parade to directly turn into a riot."

"As honorable imperial soldiers, we have no choice; we must maintain the stability of the British Empire; and the safety of people's lives and property. All members of the 7th Armored Brigade went to Scotland to suppress the riots; if they are blocked or attacked, All emergency measures can be taken.”

Although he wants to kill without mercy, after all, it is against the people of his own country; he certainly cannot say it directly, otherwise he will have to bear a lot of responsibility. Besides, it's not a glorious thing in itself, it's just that you are in this position; you have no choice.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the 7th Armored Brigade were also a little confused. They thought they were going to the front line of the Falkland Islands; they had even prepared suicide notes. Unexpectedly, he went to Scotland to suppress the riots, which is really hard to understand.

But the brigade commander has already spoken, just carry out the order resolutely; as a soldier, it is best not to have too many ideas.

When the army set out, the brigade commander, Brigadier General Winter, and the chief of staff rode in a command armored vehicle; if it were a war, this would basically not happen. Except for meetings and discussing operational deployment, the military director and the chief of staff rarely get together; let alone ride in the same armored vehicle. The enemy's artillery fire is not long-sighted. Once a missile comes down, the troops will lose their command system in an instant. At that time, they can only fight on their own, and the final result can be imagined.

The chief of staff thought for a moment and said: "Brigade commander, what is the situation? Do we really want to attack civilians?"

Although both of them are English, they are not very friendly to Scotland; however, shooting at ordinary people is not in line with their own values. Most British officers are from noble backgrounds, although there are various rules; sometimes they are very dogmatic. But I have to admit that they still follow the spirit of chivalry.

Brigadier General Winter knew very well what the assistant wanted to express. The two had worked together for more than ten years and were already very familiar with each other. Therefore, they did not hide it, but said directly: "The people of Scotland have evolved from parades to If the riot cannot be stopped quickly, it will inevitably affect the supply of frontline soldiers."

"Many heavy industries and petroleum industries in the British Empire are located in Scotland; they are the most important link in the frontline supply of the Falkland Islands. You may not understand that the war is extremely detrimental to the British Empire; if there is a problem with the rear supply at this time, then The Falklands will inevitably be lost to the Argentines, and centuries of hard work will be in vain."

"Although I don't want to attack civilians, as a soldier, I can only obey orders. And the KGB is involved, so we must not let any enemy agents destroy the stability and unity of the British Empire."

Although there is only one level of difference between a brigadier general and a colonel, it is a gap that many soldiers cannot cross in their lifetime. A brigadier general can be called a general and belongs to the senior generals of the army; the information he possesses is naturally more comprehensive. Compared with the Colonel, he is much worse in every aspect.

The chief of staff didn't say much. He only had the right to make suggestions; unless the brigade commander died in battle, he could not directly command the army.

Although it is a heavily armored force, the performance of its tanks and armored vehicles is superior enough; it can be said to be one of the most advanced models in the world. In addition, the distance from England to Scotland is not far; 3 hours later, the 7th Armored Brigade arrived in Edinburgh.
