Chapter 2438: Marbury Hesitating

At the garrison headquarters in Anmore, a black man in his fifties wore a camouflage uniform and frowned while looking at the map on the wall. He is Marbury, the deputy commander of the Anmore garrison. The ashtray on his desk was full of cigarette butts, and he still had a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. From the way he smokes and pacing back and forth, it can be seen that he is quite irritable.
Marbury's recent days are indeed not so easy. Because of his relationship with Schlott, he has not been taken seriously under Logan. It's hard to get better recently. Several old superiors were dismissed, and he became the deputy commander of the army. Schlott suddenly appeared again, promising all kinds of benefits, and tricking him into launching a mutiny in Anmore.
To be honest, it was not that he was indifferent to this matter, but there was still a difference between being tempted and actual actions. Just like there are many people who like money, but few people really dare to rob. The same is true for Marbury. He is indeed suppressed everywhere under Logan, but he is somewhat unable to make this determination if he is asked to rebel. In hesitation, he could only look at the map of Anmore on the wall.
The current situation in Anmore is very difficult. Originally, the northern coalition forces could barely resist the attack of the secret society. However, in the past two days, with the capture of several important western towns, Anmore is currently facing a multi-line combat dilemma in the west and south, which can be said to be difficult. Marbury felt depressed the more he watched, and finally he patted the drawing pencil in his hand on the table. "Damn it!"
"Report." The guard outside the door shouted.
Marbury didn't want his subordinates to see his depressed look, so he arranged his clothes on purpose before turning around and saying, "What's the matter?"
"General, there are some people from the Black Island Military Company who want to see you." The guard said outside the door.
"People from the Black Island?" Marbury frowned slightly. "These General Logan's lackeys, what are they doing?" But he also knew that the mercenaries of the Black Island military company were not ordinary people, even Diarra treated them all. Respectfully. At such times, it is better not to offend them.
Thinking of this, Marbury waved, "Well, let the guards put them in." After speaking, he went to his desk and sat down.
The black island mercenaries who came in were three. One Asian, and one man and two white men. This makes them very special among a group of blacks. But Marbury immediately changed his face when he saw the Asian. He knew who the Asian was. He immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Rick? Why are you free to come to me today? Is there anything we can do for you?"
"It's nice to meet you, General." Lin Rui walked over and shook his hand. "We are here today to talk to the general, and hope it won't bother you."
"No, no, do you guys drink coffee or tea?" General Marbury's eyes were full of smiles, but some of the smiles were true, but it was hard to tell.
Lin Rui smiled slightly, "The general does not have to be so polite. Actually, you don't have to pretend to like us. In fact, there are not many people who like mercenaries like us in Africa. Including our employers, although they need us, They never liked us. Because we don’t work for free, and usually our services are not discounted."
"Haha, Mr. Rick is really humorous." Marbury didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all.
Lin Rui looked at the colored pencils on his desk, then looked up at the map on the wall, and smiled slightly, "General Marbury is really not easy. You have to manage the defense of Anmore City while you also care about the frontline. What about war?"
Marbury's face changed slightly and immediately returned to normal. "Hehe, as soldiers, we naturally pay more attention to the battle ahead. After all, no one knows how long this battle will last. In case the front line is tight, we guards It is not impossible for the troops to be drawn to the front line. It is also necessary to understand the battle ahead."
Lin Rui nodded, "Since I'm here, I really want to ask General Marbury, what do you think of the current war situation?"
"Well, this." Marbury was a little restless, wondering what Lin Rui meant by saying that. But he knew that Lin Rui and others were hired heavily by General Logan, so he had to pay attention.
General Marbury cleared his throat and said, "The current situation is fairly normal for us. Although the enemy has occupied parts of the Western Front and has become a force to restrain us, our troops are still able to Cope with it. Besides, we have the leadership of General Logan and the military assistance of other Western countries. As long as we are united, no enemy is feared."
Lin Rui interrupted him and waved his hand, "General, if this is your truth, then with all due respect, you are just an incompetent general. But if you are worried that we are hired by General Logan Identity, and deliberately told us. Then I want to say, you underestimated us. Although we are employed by General Logan, it is precisely because of our professionalism that the general hires us. We will not take care of Luo. Gen. Gen’s emotions, disregarding the facts. Make up some nonsense to deceive him."
Marbury looked a little embarrassed. Lin Rui did not hesitate to pick up the pen on the table and drew a few arrows on the map. "If the Orumi Federal Army launches an offensive from these positions, then your defense on the west side will Facing the situation of a full-line retreat. You will have to shrink your defenses, withdraw your defenses here, and re-arm along the Takun River. And such a hasty layout will not have much effect. Within a month, this defense line It will also be breached. At that time, the Orumi Federation forces will drive straight in and approach Anmore City."
Marbury shook his head in embarrassment, "This is only theoretically true. In fact, there must be many external conditions for this."
"They can do it, and I believe in their ability." Lin Rui nodded. "General, there is nothing wrong with telling the truth. Although the truth is cruel, it will at least make people understand it. Moreover, if I were you, I must be very worried about my future destiny now. Maybe you have also thought about it. Should some changes be made. What do you think?"
Marbury looked at Lin Rui and said, "Mr. Rick, I don't understand what you mean."
"I mean, everyone will think about their own future and must think about themselves. This sounds a bit selfish, but to be honest, if you don't think about yourself, who else will consider you? "Lin Rui smiled and said, "I mean, the future is confused, you must carefully consider, analyze, and choose the path that suits you best."
