Crash!! General Beria swept his hands fiercely and pushed everything on the desk under the table. The table lamp, telephone, potted plants, folders, and coffee cups were all smashed under the table.
"Bastard! Bastard!! Who can tell me why!!?? " General Beria roared angrily. In front of him, more than ten high-ranking officers and staff members were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to say a word.
"Just a hundred tanks and you've made my army of more than a hundred thousand stagnate!! Who can tell me why!! "Beria asked loudly.
One of the officers mumbled softly, "But these hundred tanks, compared to the equipment in our hands, are at least thirty to forty years apart, maybe even more …"
"I don't fucking care about the generation difference!! I just want to know when we can conquer New Lhasa!! And then we have to advance to New Chengdu!! "Beria cursed loudly.
"But we don't have anything that can fight against these tanks … We've already sent all our remaining armored forces to encircle these tanks, in the end …" the officer said softly.
"Damn Ruan Qingshui!! He actually plundered all of my armored troops!! And then threw them all under the steel city!! "General Beria began to vent his anger on Ruan Qingshui again.
"Isn't this our plan? General Ruan Qingshui's Fifth Army Corps will rely on armored forces to attack the manufacturing center, while our Third Army Corps will rely on the Terminator Corps to attack New Chengdu, "another officer retorted.
"Enough! You shut up!! Now I just want to know how I can conquer New Lhasa, and then attack New Chengdu with the Terminator Corps!! "Beria glared fiercely at everyone present. He now felt a trace of fear.
Yes, fear. Because he knew that Skynet had given him the majority of the military forces in the southwest war zone. Everyone, including Marshal Artuzov, believed that this was in the bag to deal with the Guardian Group with absolute superiority in military forces. So he kept working, exerting influence on Marshal Artuzov through various aspects, and finally obtained the opportunity to command Army Group A in the southwest.
After all, he knew that he came from the Orderliness Clan, which worshipped Skynet. Although Skynet seemed to be willing to give people like him more opportunities, many in the Grey Coat Army thought that he was useless, and that he relied on extreme thinking to gain Skynet's trust. He also knew that he could not compare to the other Grey Coat Army officers who had military experience. So, Beria hoped to use this opportunity to soar!
Thus, when formulating the battle plan, he had his own selfish motives. He had Ruan Qingshui attack the manufacturing center, while he himself attacked New Chengdu. This was because the manufacturing center and Steel City were heavily guarded by the Guardian Group. Furthermore, their robot troops were definitely deployed in this location. Furthermore, even if they captured the manufacturing center, it would only be a factory of the Guardian Group.
How could it be compared to my contribution in capturing the Guardian Group's new political and military center, New Chengdu! He pretended to hand over the armored forces to Ruan Qingshui. In his opinion, these third generation main battle tanks were behind the times. The Terminator of Skynet was the most powerful war machine! Thus, with the great power of Skynet's Terminator Corps, he would definitely be the one to take the lead in this battle!
But now, because of the sudden appearance of 100 very advanced tanks, his progress was slowed down. This made him smell a trace of an ominous smell! If he failed, the consequences would be unthinkable! In the eyes of Skynet, he, General Beria, was just a human. Since a human made a mistake, he had to be punished. There was only a thin line between him and the lowliest slave!!
"I think we should pull back our defensive line and concentrate our forces on defense. As long as the Guardian Group's new tanks are unable to display their speed advantage, we still have a chance of winning. Then, we should report the actual combat data of these new tanks to Skynet as soon as possible. Let's see if Skynet can come up with a countermeasure. "
"Switch to defense? Are you joking?! " General Beria's eyes were like a viper's as he stared at the general. "Marshal Artuzov once said to kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. But you want us to switch to defense!! "
"I think this is the safest course of action right now. Moreover, General Ruan Qingshui's side isn't doing well either. His armored forces have suffered heavy losses, and he has no choice but to give up on attacking the manufacturing center and attack Steel City instead. Thus, Operation Divine Punishment has already failed, "the old general replied.
However, in General Beria's eyes, this most effective method was a blatant mockery of him. He roared, "Switch to defense! Absolutely impossible!! We have such superior forces, how can we switch to defense?! "
After saying that, he suddenly caught onto an important point. "Wait … you just said that Ruan Qingshui is attacking Steel City, and not attacking the manufacturing center according to plan?!"
"Yes, I remember that he suggested this plan to you. A quick battle is no longer possible. Besieging the Guardian Group to attack their reinforcements is the best method," the old general said.
Beria naturally knew that. Back then, he was still on the offensive, so he only thought that Ruan Qingshui was incompetent. As long as he could achieve results with this offensive, the gap between the two would become even more obvious. Thus, he just let it be. But now, the situation was different. He needed a scapegoat!!
"No wonder the Guardian Group's tank force would appear in my direction!! So it was Ruan Qingshui messing things up!! " Beria slammed the table and roared, "Everyone knows that this tank force was originally used to fight against his armored forces!! But his command was incompetent, and he lost a large number of tanks. He even gave up on the manufacturing center to attack the insignificant Steel City! That was clearly the target that the Guardian Group showed us!! "
"Yes! That's it! Without the restraint of his armored forces, the Guardian Group can calmly mobilize a large number of troops to my side! And I don't have any armored forces, so how can I fight against these new tanks?!! "The more General Beria spoke, the angrier he became. In the end, he almost believed his words to be true.
Seeing Beria's expression, the old general cautiously said, "General Beria … it shouldn't be like that. Ruan Qingshui … "
"Don't say anymore! Immediately send a message to Ruan Qingshui, have him attack the Guardian Group's manufacturing center with all his strength and tie down their forces! On the other hand, we will launch a new wave of attacks at noon the day after tomorrow. With a two-pronged attack, we will continue to advance towards New Cheng City! After that, send a message to the Terminator Army's commanding AI 'Skynet', to have their forces split into two, and attack New Lhasa and New Cheng City respectively!! "General Beria waved his hand and roared.
The generals were instantly in an uproar. Obviously, under the current situation, to launch a new wave of attacks, to attack both the manufacturing center and New Cheng City at the same time, was simply courting death!
"You must be joking!! After our 14th Infantry Division was defeated, the Terminator Army's flank was exposed to the Guardian Group's Tomb Guardians, and they are also under a lot of pressure! General Ruan Qingshui's side is currently besieging Steel City. Wouldn't it be a joke to ask them to go around this fortress city and directly attack the manufacturing center?! As for our Third Army, due to the harassment from the enemy's new tanks, our frontline troops received only 60% of their normal ammunition supply yesterday! Under such circumstances, you still want to launch an attack?! "A middle-aged general could no longer tolerate it and loudly criticized.
