Chapter 921: Heroes and cowards

"Recently, Ou Ke launched a large-scale offensive against our army's position along the 200-kilometer section of the Skasen River. The momentum was huge and rare in the past years!"
In the crackling sound, Ben Lier in a costume was surrounded by spotlights and spotlights. Numerous newspapers and journalists surrounded the steps with water. Behind Ben Lier, it was the gate of the House of Lords in the military town of Dunwich.
With Ben Lier attending the press conference, in addition to his internal defense, there are several important generals, and Mountbatten is "just" in it.
"However, under the heroic warfare of our generals, from the 14th, Ok's offensive was repeatedly shattered, and then the offensive intensified. On the 19th, Ok's main force launched a full-line offensive, and millions of beasts tried to cross the river. Our army is once again facing a headache, floating corpses!"
Ben Leighton paused and tilted his body slightly to the right to make himself look more like a battle inspection on the battlefield than an interview.
"According to incomplete statistics, in the five-day battle, our army killed a total of 2.39 million enemy troops, seized more than 600,000 tons of various types of equipment and materials, and our army was injured or injured... 600 people!"
For a while, all the voices disappeared, and the scene was silent.
More than ten seconds later, a male reporter with a hat asked carefully:
"General, I... am I right?"
"Although I have never been to university, in elementary school, mathematics is often the first in the class."
A moment later, Ben Lier's witty answer won a burst of applause.
"Victory is because we have to win."
Pressing both hands down, signaling that everyone was quiet, Ben Lier's expression suddenly became heavy.
"We must win, because behind us is the motherland and the people! Cadillac's tragedy can never be staged again. When I think about that moment, I deeply feel that I should be sent to a military court!"
The reporters immediately took out their notebooks and began to record the confession of the hero of the Republic.
Ben Lier looked down in tears and sighed.
"We are soldiers, but soldiers who cannot protect the people, what is the point! We can die too! We can sacrifice! We can't fail anymore! It is this spirit that motivates us to fight, and also those poor beasts cannot The reason for defeating us! So every day I remind myself, Benlier, are you negligent?"
"General! You are not negligent!"
A middle-aged woman suddenly squeezed into the crowd and then held Ben Lier's hand tightly. The defender behind him was about to step forward and was stopped by Ben Lier's eyes.
"General! We are refugees from Arkham, and my son is fighting under your command. We believe that one day you will take us back to our hometown!"
"Ashamed, ashamed..."
Ben Lilly held the woman's palm lightly for a while, and then several military policemen squeezed in to take the woman away.
"Okay, now it's media time."
As soon as the nearby officials spoke, a beautiful female reporter with long blond hair asked:
"General Lier, I am a special correspondent for the Financial Times. Do you know the reason why Ouke suddenly launched a large-scale offensive? Do they have a certain strategic purpose?"
Ben Lier smiled politely, then said in a deep voice:
"According to my understanding of Ok, they are not very purposeful creatures, and we are currently studying whether they spontaneously organized a farce, or were killed by the ruthless leader."
"General, I am a reporter for the National Defense Daily."
Another sturdy man came up and took the place of a female reporter.
He also paid a salute to Ben Lier, and Ben Lier also paid one.
"I would like to ask you, why are the casualties so low in this battle? How did the military capture the signal of Ock's attack?"
"Sir, you are asking about military secrets."
Benlir shook his finger.
"But I can answer your first question, because Ok was crossing the river unprepared, most of them are so stupid that they can't even swim."
"That is to say, most of Ock was drowned?"
"indeed."
"So how is the number of annihilated enemies calculated?"
"Yes, according to the statistics from our inland river fleet, although Oke's body looks very large, it unexpectedly becomes very light in the water. It is not difficult to calculate floating corpses on the water."
Soon the third reporter came up.
"General, I am a reporter from the Phillips Morning Post. Is it the pale tyrant who launched this attack?"
"There is no sign yet that the beast has arrived on the front line of Caddy."
"Does the military know about the leader of the attack that led the attack?"
"Mr."
Benlier turned around with a smile, taking something from the guard behind him.
With a cry, as the admiral untied the silk cloth covering that thing, a ragged battle flag full of bullet holes rose with the wind.
Its background color is dark green like Ok's skin, and it looks very worn. It is covered with dry blood stains and black marks eroded by flames, but the red and black war lines are still conspicuous.
It was a pattern of an Oke's head split in the middle, and it seemed that Oke was still laughing.
"This is the battle flag we captured on the battlefield. It belongs to the Occult Skull Legion! It is well known that only warlords will wear the battle flag with them. This is the loot that our snipers seized after eliminating a brutal beast!"
When this remark came out, it was tantamount to a blockbuster throwing into the water, and everyone was in awe.
"General! Does this mean that our army killed an enemy warlord!?"
"General! Where is the body?"
"General..."
For a time, the scene became a bit chaotic.
It's no wonder that these reporters were too excited, but since the war between Benedict and Ouk, only the Duke of Ushkin eliminated the warlord-level Ouk boss on the battlefield, and there was only one helmet as evidence.
This is something that the New California Republic has always been cherishing.
"All the Ministry of Defense will make an announcement in the near future."
Ben Lier finished~EbookFREE.me~ turned and walked up the stairs, the reporters quickly tried to catch up, but was immediately stopped by the guards.
But at the moment when the contented general shook his cloak and turned away, the other face blocked by heavy shadows showed a melancholic look that was incompatible with the warm atmosphere of victory.
And this scene happened to be captured by a reporter with a camera.
"Heroes and Cowards"
People call this photo so.
During the battle of Kwaihara Ridge, the two independent divisions made their best efforts, and only Commander Mountbatten escaped alone.
Some people accused him of obstructing disadvantage, others accused him of being greedy for fear of death, and others even accused him of fearing the enemy in a whole thunderstorm operation. He squatted for two weeks in a mud town and sat watching the second army in Victoria. The German city was destroyed.
There are actually many people who know the truth, but Mountbatten never let anyone defend himself.
