Chapter 665: A person lives for his face!
"General, what should we do now?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at William, even though Leclerc was also one of the commanders of the combined fleet.
But even the Gallic officers sneered at the opponent's performance.
They even felt it was a shame to have such a leader!
It is more useful to rely on a dog than on him.
Now, only General William can lead them out of the predicament.
Although the other party retreated for unknown reasons, it does not mean that they are safe.
What if the other party just ran out of ammunition or fuel? They will definitely come back later.
They are now only a few hundred kilometers away from Berbera. With the current fighter's ability to exceed the speed of sound, a few hundred kilometers will only take a dozen minutes to fly.
If the other party wants to, he should be on the way by now!
So, there is not much time left for them!
William frowned. He knew how serious the situation was. Fortunately, except for that waste, the Gauls were reliable, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.
He glanced sternly at the nervous people around him, took a deep breath and spoke.
"Immediately count the ammunition and fuel reserves of each ship, and at the same time request support from the country, and ask them to prepare air defense forces and supplies."
The adjutant quickly took the order and left.
William continued his analysis.
"Although the enemy's intentions in retreating this time are unclear, we cannot sit idly by and wait for death. We must adjust the fleet's formation and form an anti-aircraft firepower network. If the enemy comes again, we must ensure that we are capable of launching an effective counterattack."
"At the same time, speed up the rescue, we don't have much time left!"
Although William wanted to retreat with his fleet immediately, he couldn't help but rescue the officers and soldiers struggling on the sea.
If he really dared to watch someone die without helping, then even if he went back, there would be only one fate waiting for him.
That is being brought before a military court.
"Yes, General!"
The staff officer immediately took the order to arrange various matters.
Just then, the radar soldier shouted again.
"General, an unknown signal has been detected. It seems to be a communication request from the other party."
what?
The other party’s communication request!
What's happening here!
William hesitated for a moment, but finally ordered the call to be connected.
A steady voice came over the communication line.
"General William, you have already suffered a heavy blow. If you are sensible, you should take the remaining troops and leave here. Otherwise, you may not be so lucky next time."
The blunt words made all the officers and soldiers in the bridge look livid.
The other party is too rampant!
This time they failed!
But so what? They have Dai Ying and Gaul behind them.
This failure was only because they were careless.
Next time, they will definitely get their revenge.
The contemptuous tone made William's face turn pale, and he spoke into the communicator with gritted teeth.
"It's not that easy to get us to leave! You just took advantage of us by chance, do you really think you can do anything to us?"
Although they had wanted to retreat a long time ago.
But the other party contacted them specifically to laugh at them!
How could he admit defeat?
People live a face, and trees live a skin.
If he gives in!
It's a disgrace to the British Empire.
Hahaha·······
A sudden sneer came from the other end of the line.
"General William, please stop being so stubborn. You know your situation, and we know it even better. Do you think you still have the capital to negotiate with us now?"
"you!"
William couldn't argue with that.
Suddenly the radar soldier screamed again.
"General, there are a large number of UFOs approaching at a very fast speed!"
The situation in the bridge suddenly became tense, and William's face changed. He realized that the other party might have a trick up his sleeve.
"Everyone, please pay attention! Enter the first level of combat preparation!"
He shouted the order.
But at this moment, the contemptuous voice in the communication came again.
"This is just a final warning for you. Consider our proposal carefully, or these fighters will show no mercy."
William clenched his fists. He knew he was in a dilemma. It would be a difficult decision whether to continue to hold on and wait for support or to retreat.
William gritted his teeth, but he knew that he was no longer able to fight and could only give orders.
"Okay, we will retreat, but I need to rescue the people who fell into the water."
"Okay! I'll give you an hour!"
After that, the communication was disconnected!
damn it!
William clenched his fists tightly, unwilling to be threatened by the enemy.
But for the sake of his soldiers, he could only swallow his anger for the time being.
"Speed up the rescue and make sure it's completed within an hour."
William suppressed his anger and gave the order.
The fleet immediately took action, with each ship lowering lifeboats and making every effort to rescue the officers and soldiers who fell into the water.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Radars are always monitoring those UFOs, and as long as they make any unusual movements, the fleet will immediately enter combat status.
Finally, with ten minutes left in an hour, the last soldier who fell into the water was rescued onto the boat.
"General, all personnel have been rescued."
The adjutant reported.
"Adjust course immediately and retreat at full speed."
William gave the order decisively.
The fleet turned around and sped towards the mainland.
And those UFOs were always following closely not far away, as if they were demonstrating.
William looked behind him and swore in his heart that he would not be a gentleman if he did not avenge this time, and he would make the enemy pay a heavy price next time.
·······
Stay in the British Empire!
royal palace.
The king of the British Empire was having a sweet dream, as if he would receive the good news from William in the next second.
Heavenly city!
A miraculous city.
As long as we can get him, the revival of the British Empire is just around the corner, and the glory of the sun that never sets will shine again in his hands.
But at this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door and the king opened his eyes impatiently.
"Come in!"
The servant rushed in and knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty, news came from the front that the combined fleet suffered heavy losses and General William was forced to order a retreat."
"what?!"
The king stood up suddenly, his eyes full of shock and anger.
"How is this possible? How could William fail?"
The servant lowered his head, not daring to look the king in the eyes.
"Your Majesty, the specific situation is not very clear yet. General William has only sent a telegram for help. The specific situation can only be confirmed after General William returns."
The king paced up and down the room, his face terribly gloomy.
He was having a beautiful dream just now, but unexpectedly, the dream was shattered in the blink of an eye!
Do not!
He couldn't accept such a result!
"You, gather the ministers immediately. I will make those who dare to provoke us pay the price!"
At the same time, the Gallic Empire also received Leclerc's telegram.
But this guy put all the blame on William.
After the Gallic high-level officials received the telegram, they were instantly in an uproar.
Those officials who were deceived by Leclerc accused William of poor command and even clamored for the British Empire to give them an explanation.
But there are also clear-headed people who doubt Leclerc's statement and demand a thorough investigation of the matter.
