Chapter 225 Failure

The old general Andreevich Vlasov naturally knew the result of the retreat, but there are some things that can and must be done, but they are not suitable to say. So the old man just looked at Victoria in silence, but the girl with a prominent surname seemed to understand nothing, but looked at the old man arrogantly.

The old general scolded in his heart, this damn female fox. Yes, it is impossible for Alearina Victoria not to understand that her surname is destined for her to receive all kinds of elite education from the moment she speaks out, so that she has long been detached from ordinary people. If she just looks at her as an ordinary girl, she is doomed to be defeated by her high heels. There is no doubt about this. Everyone in the Victoria family is a natural politician. The dark and cursed blood of politicians seems to have already been integrated into the surname Victoria, so why did she do this?

The old general can't figure it out. Doesn't she understand that all this is over? It's like an investment in the financial industry. The loss is already a reality. The only thing he can do now is to reduce the loss. No, she is Victoria. She can't understand. She understands this, but why is she against it?

"Why didn't you talk?" Just when the old general was puzzled, the girl did not stop her words. Victoria's words were as sharp as the sword used by nobles. "Yes, you are a general. How can you not know the consequences of retreat? Do you know what will happen once we retreat, just because we are ashamed? That's right. If it were me, I wouldn't declare this kind of behavior. After all, this is a complete betrayal. Once we retreat, hundreds of millions of people, no, billions of people will die because of this decision. Tens of millions of soldiers fighting on the front line will be betrayed, and soldiers will be captured or slaughtered!"

In the small room, there was a sound of breathing, and everyone in the room gasped almost at the same time.

At this time, the people who can be in the room are all in high positions. They all know that once the planet Golden Field is lost, it will cause inevitable failure. In this war, the importance of the Golden Field is self-evident, but if this planet is lost, almost no one will really I have thought about it seriously, because this problem is so terrible that no one dares to think deeply, so they are not clear about the result of failure. This is the first time that these people know so clearly what they will face after failure.

What a terrible defeat it is when billion people die and tens of millions of soldiers are slaughtered. Almost no one present dares to imagine what kind of result will happen to them once such a thing happens. The empire will not forgive itself.

What's more shocking is that it is difficult for everyone present to escape the relationship. Such a terrible defeat, no, a complete failure is not a few small officials as scapegoats. In an instant, the politicians in the room, the military authorities have almost seen their group of people. A lot of people were tied to the cross, with dry firewood and oil under their feet, waiting for the judge to tosss down the flame.

Everyone looked at the old general. They hoped, even longed to get a completely different answer from the old man's mouth, even if it was an obvious lie, they were so eager to be deceived. Because most of the people in the room are looking forward to withdrawing, no one wants to die. As long as the old general tells a lie, they can withdraw with the army at ease.

Andreyevich Vlasov looked around at the people in the room and then said, "Will billions of people die because of this decision?" The old general sneered and continued, "Little girl, you are too naive. After all, you are only 19 years old, and you still don't understand the cruelty of war. Once we withdraw, the final number will definitely be more than one billion. In my opinion, even if it is a conservative estimate, the final sacrifice of tens of billions by our people will not surprise me at all. This failure is not only the failure of our military region, but also the failure of the battle, but also represents the army in the Far East. The change of initiative, once we fail, the empire's already unstable rule in the Far East will inevitably become more fragile, which will cause a series of chain reactions. Regional rebellions will rise one after another, and the clowns will jump out one by one. What's more terrible is that the spiritual people will gain the dominance of the whole war. Whether it is at the tactical or strategic level, the initiative will fall into the hands of the spiritual people. We can't protect every world. The otherwise affluent forces can only be allocated to a few relatively important areas for defense, while other worlds will be completely open to the spiritual people, and the worlds will be completely closed. The virgin of defense is like a virgin, waiting for the spiritual people to spoil it. As long as those bean sprouts are willing, they can slaughter our people wantonly, and at that time, we can only watch indifferently. This is the worst situation, and it is also the most likely situation. If only a billion people die, I will wake up with a smile when I sleep.

As if there was an extremely cold wind following the old general's words, it brushed everyone's heart through the wall. The air in the room was almost frozen by the cold. In the frozen air, everyone was imagining the more terrible future. They were scared by the future described by the old general, including Victoria. In that moment, fear appeared on the girl's face, but it was only for a moment. Soon, the girl returned to normal.

Then the girl smiled and asked with a smile, "Well, my old general, since you know that the ending is so terrible, why do you retreat? You know, we can't fail! For so many lives, for the sake of the empire, we can't fail!"

Andreyevich suddenly realized that the old man complained in his heart why he was so stupid that he should have thought of it for a long time. In fact, the old general is not stupid at all. He just spends his life on the battlefield. His thinking has always maintained a simple enemy-enemy thinking. On the battlefield, he can deal with all kinds of tricks and conspiracies of the enemy, because he understands that the enemy is on the other side of the front, and in this room, he has his own. The enemy? If so, who is the enemy? Is it this 19-year-old Victoria?

The general's thoughts are completely different from those of politicians. He can have a deep insight into the victory or defeat of the war, ** and decisively make the coldest decisions, but he can't face the enemies around him.

It was not until then that the old general understood why Victoria was unwilling to retreat, because she could not fail.

This is really a ridiculous reason. This reason has never even appeared in the old general's mind a minute ago. What does it mean that you can't fail? It's ridiculous. War is war. As long as it is war, there will be victory and defeat.

There has never been a question of whether you can do it, because war is a cruel reality. If there is a game of politics and many other factors outside the battlefield, but on the battlefield, there is no other choice. Victory is victory, defeat is defeat, either one or the other, there is no other choice.

The old general is very angry. Doesn't she really understand? No, this girl probably understands. She just doesn't want to admit defeat. If this girl is from her own army, then things will be much simpler. Andreevich can directly give this damn Victoria a bullet, open a hole in her forehead, and let her brain enter a little, which may It's enough for her to understand the current situation.

But the problem is that she is not a member of her own army. She is the consul of the planet and has the same class as General Andreyevich. If she wants to retreat in an orderly manner and with the legion, she must have Victoria's assistance.

The old general can only say patiently, "Victoria, it has nothing to do with whether we can or not. We have failed. It's just a futility increase in casualties. We lost.

"We lost? No, we haven't lost the war yet. The golden field is still there. I'm still here. As long as I'm not dead, the war won't be lost.

The old man looked helplessly at the woman in front of him, just like looking at the little girl who stubbornly thought that there was Santa Claus in the world. Finally, the old man sighed and said, "The enemy has touched the golden field. The spirit people know where this is. Their sharp blade has pierced our hearts. If this is a game of chess, then they are already a general, and we have no way to go. Victoria, you have to look at the problem rationally. We have lost. What we can do now is to try our best to save some of the people we can save and plan for the future of the empire. What's more, we lost so unclear this time that the enemy is not those bean sprout-like spiritual people at all. This time, the plan is so confidential that people who know the importance of the strategic location of the Golden Wilderness can count it with two hands in the whole Far East, but our location is still known by the enemy. How did they touch our position?

Victoria hesitated for a moment and asked, "You mean there are traitors in the empire?"

"Yes, and there are traitors among the high-level officials. If military secrets had not been leaked continuously, how could we have lost so miserably? Now it makes no sense to continue to entangle with the spirit people. We have failed in the war. The next thing to do is to deal with the aftermath. For the sake of the empire, we need to do the follow-up work, reduce the loss of failure, and then dig out the damn traitor!"
