Chapter 32 Farewell, North Africa
Rhodes were summoned before the group of Earth Army officers came out. After waiting at the door for more than half an hour, he had no objection. He knew that he was a mercenary, or that even a mercenary was the third camp on the battlefield. He sorted out his clothes, pushed the door and walked in.
After only a few days of sight, Major General Andrew's appearance changed. The fat senior officer's former arrogant feeling was gone, and replaced by a deep fatigue, his uniform was messy, his hair was messy, and he was listless.
Rhodes hates this kind of mental loser the most. He is usually arrogant and beaten up like a woman. He suppresses his displeasure and nods to the fat man and says, "Hello, General, our Silver Wolf Mercenary Group has completed the entrustment."
"Sit down, Captain Rhode." Andernov nodded and asked Rhode to sit down, then he slowly said: "Araman, are we completely defeated?" He only knew that Araman was defeated, but he still had the last glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the main force of the North African army was still there.
"Totally defeated." Rhode replied coldly, adding, "Almost all the troops were wiped out."
The fat man's face suddenly disappeared, and he wanted to use his butt to make it difficult for him to live in the future. However, Andenov was not furious at all, but instead asked a little depressed: "What about my 33rd Chariot Team?"
Rhode was stunned for a moment, then revealed the fierce battle, waited for Andnov to digest it and then asked, "Your Excellency General, are you going to retreat or stay here?"
"Liangbang has issued an order to let our 33rd Army retreat south." Andnov smiled bitterly. He was not a fool to be at this position. He obviously knew that staying in Africa would definitely be a dead end, but he had no choice. He could not escape on the battlefield.
After he said that, he lowered his voice and said angrily: "Those damn guys, why can the Ninth Army of Libya withdraw from Italy? Those bastard Italians!"
The Eurasian Federation is originally a country composed of multiple countries. They are different from the Atlantic Union. The latter, the United States of America, can be regarded as the absolute core, but the main constituent countries of the Eurasian Federation: Germany, France, Italy, and Russia are not fuel-efficient. The internal contradictions can be said to be quite serious. The Ninth Army was mainly composed of Italians just now. Because North Africa is closest to the Italian Peninsula, the Ninth Army finally survived. Originally, this relatively complete mechanized legion had a strong combat power.
The same is true in Alahman. Due to the dispute between the Federation of the State Army, the Eurasian Federation Army in North Africa did not complete the assembly. The battle was actually mainly participated by German and Russian troops.
After all, Rhodes stayed in the Federal Army. After he figured it out, he sneered and comforted him: "Don't worry, General, they are just a group of guys who fled on the battlefield, different from people like you who fight bloody battles on the battlefield. Moreover, going to the south may not necessarily be a dead end."
"Oh? How do you say it?" Andrew became interested suddenly. He wanted to hear the insights of this man who has been very popular recently.
"If we go to the south, we will basically defend Victoria Universe Port. Then you can find an opportunity to go to the moon." A large-scale retreat to the universe may not be possible, but such a senior officer will be saved.
After all, no one wants PLANT’s newspaper to publish the scandal of his general being captured.
"Well, this is right, but Brother Rod, are you going to the south too? If you go, I will arrange a heavy transport plane for you." After Andernov figured it out, he was very happy and began to call Rhode brothers. In his eyes, these powerful mercenaries were a good bodyguard.
"Of course I'll go to the south, but I need 3 heavy transport aircraft."
"3 aircraft?! No, no, now time is so tight, one aircraft will cause less soldiers." Andnov shook his face like a rattle, and the fat on his face was really encouraging.
"The two behind are just loading machinery, and of course they can squeeze many soldiers on it, but they will transport a few tanks less. In order to make up for the losses of the glorious Earth Army..." Rhodes slowly pushed a check filled with 5 million figures to the Major General.
"Brother Rhode, what do you mean?? Could it be that I am the kind of person who doesn't want soldiers for money?" Major General Andnov was stunned at first, and suddenly became furious, just as he always loved soldiers like his sons.
Rhode smiled coldly. Of course he understood that this was a common trick before corrupt officials collected money, but his face also smiled and said, "God General, I just sponsor you to buy a seat on the shuttle, and it's not okay to have no money after going to the universe."
Andnov pulled up a fat face and smiled, saying, "Brother Rhode, you are really unruly in your work." But at the same time, his hands were very irregular and putting the check into his top pocket.
"I have always done this way, and I will do anything to achieve my goals." Rhode shrugged and said indifferently.
"It seems that we are all kind of people, Brother Rod." Andenov patted Rhode's shoulder very affectionately, then patted his chest and said, "The problem of the transport plane is included in me. Anyway, the 33rd tank brigade has also been destroyed. I will hand over the transport plane for transporting them heavy equipment to you."
(This bastard actually made me do something) Rhode cursed the old fox in his heart, but he still answered sincerely: "I'll ask the general for that."
However, the money was not given in vain. In the future, the mercenary group would rely on the energy of these senior officers to enter the universe. Of course, Silver Wolf, as a mercenary group with a history of decades, is not small. There are still some officers who maintain "good communication" at an important base in front of Victoria Harbor.
Rhode said goodbye to the fat Major General Andrnov and returned to the camp to ask everyone to get all the equipment, because they will be on the plane to Central Africa tonight. The mercenary group will land at Barbarossa Air Force Base and then return to their hometown, while the Earth Army will fly east to Victoria Universe Port.
"Sir, I have something to deal with." Klose walked up to Rhodes with a guy in Earth Army uniform.
"What's up?"
"This man wants to join our mercenary group, and his original troops were destroyed in Alamein." There are many people like this who retreated with the defeated soldiers, and the Earth Army has no time to care about them. Most of them are reorganized and sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
However, this woman is still the organization of the Earth Army, and it seems that doing this does not conform to the procedures. So Rhode frowned and refused, "No, we cannot recruit the Earth Army at this time, otherwise there will be some trouble. Moreover, it is also very dangerous to be a mercenary. It is better to find a way back to Italy."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. In fact, he still wanted these people to join the team. After all, these people who came down from the battlefield had practical experience, and the number of mercenaries was greatly reduced after this battle. However, considering those unnecessary troubles, he had to refuse to talk first.
"That's just because the commander is too useless, and we are all volunteer soldiers, or the Atlantic Union no longer thinks I'm still alive." The woman behind her spoke. She was rank of captain and was over 185 tall, one head taller than 175 Rhodes, and her head shape was also the Marines' beauty-free pot cover, and she looked like a strong man.
"Then give me a reason, Captain." Rhodes stopped and turned around to look at the strong woman. Moreover, this guy was actually sent by the Atlantic Union to help with the boxing, which aroused his great interest.
"I admire your strength, whether in Alahman or in a sneak attack on the ZAFT base, and I don't want to leave the battlefield so much." The tall woman stood up straight and replied slowly.
"Then you can go back to the Atlantic Ocean. I think those who are sent to help the war are not waste."
"Then I can earn a lot of money to support my old age while enjoying the war, which should be enough."
"Let me think about your name, Captain." Rhodes accepted this popular reason, but he made up his mind to check the case after he went back.
"Andrea Lafayette, from the Atlantic Joint Special Operations Force." Lafayette's tall body was tighter and his voice was very loud.
"Then keep up first, and then go back to the base before conducting the assessment." Rhode waved his hand. The mercenary group is not a regular army. He dares to accept anyone. No matter whether you were a killer or a criminal before, as long as you can meet the requirements of the mercenary, there is no problem.
There was no trouble when a new team member was collected. In other words, Silver Wolf would replenish many new players every time he was seriously injured. Originally, those old team members either died in battle or were injured and went home. This is what is called metabolism.
