In other countries, it would be difficult, if not impossible, for a soldier to become a general before the age of 40 on his own.

In China, then, the chances of this happening are much greater.

One of the main reasons for this is that many of the current Wehrmacht generals are not very old. Don't say that it's just a general, it's not for nothing that someone becomes a marshal at the age of 40―――――― to be precise, it's 38 years old, and it's two, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili.

It is conceivable that in the Wehrmacht he has become a marshal at the age of 38, so how many will become generals?

According to the statistics of the British MI6, more than 95 percent of the world's military personnel who have the rank of general before the age of 40 are located in China. The remaining five percent are either nobles, royalty, or even warlords or anything like that. Only a very small number of them have climbed this step on their own.

Therefore, whether it is Wang Ruhui or He Wenyuan, they are confident that they will be promoted to brigadier before the age of 40―――――― of course, it will be difficult. After all, the Wehrmacht is different from before, and China now does not have so many battles for these soldiers. In peacetime, if a soldier wants to be promoted, he can only use the way of seniority. That's why Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan chose to stay here and help Carthus reorganize their armaments.

After all, if they can get some results in this battle, it will be easier for them to stand out from their colleagues.

Otherwise...

The Wehrmacht has expanded by more than 3 million troops, and most of the troops are young officers of their age. If you can't do something more eye-catching, who will remember them?

Nature. There must be dangers in doing so, but...

"Wealth is in danger. If you are not willing to take even the slightest danger, how can you rise from among thousands of officers? What's more, if you really run into danger. Aren't we going to run..."

Thinking like this, the smiles on Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan's faces became brighter and brighter.

As the commanders of the Warlords, the two of them also need to stay on the front line, but they don't need to play directly with the Russians. The safety is still relatively guaranteed, so the most dangerous thing for them in the whole battle is probably the stray bullets in the battle and the retreat when defeated, if they don't have time to run, they are likely to be captured by the Russians...

While all of this is dangerous, compared to the possible gains...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Carter wasn't unaware of the two of them's thoughts, but he didn't care about them at the moment. Besides, he also has a lot to do.

After sending Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan out of the temporary headquarters, he soon came to a room not very far from the headquarters―――――― which could not be said to be a room, but rather a tunnel.

"I'm so sorry to let you stay in a place like this..."

Walking into the tunnel, I looked at the middle-aged man dressed as two officers sitting in the tunnel, Carter, who was over 50 years old, with a smile on his face...

And at the same time, looking at this man who had just walked in from the outside, he could almost be said to have the power of life and death for the two of them. These two people put on a stinky face.

"Hmph..."

One of them turned his face sideways. Leng snorted and didn't look at Carter.

The other person didn't do it, but he said with a gloomy face.

"I wonder when you're going to let the two of us go, Colonel Carterus? Or do you really plan to send us to the front as deserters to fight the Russians like those two Chinese said?! "When it comes to this. The man's expression was gloomy to the extreme. Apparently what had happened in the recent past had made his temper much worse.

"What did you say..."Although the other party's tone could be said to be not polite at all, Carter still walked to the two of them with a smile on his face. Both are my colleagues. I can even say that I am my superior, how dare I send you to the front as deserters! ”

That's right. This is the biggest reason why even if the other party does not give Carter face, but Carter still greets him with a smile.

Because of these two people in front of them. It can almost be said that they are their own superiors―――――― of course, they are not the direct superiors of Carter. In fact, the two people in front of him, one is the chief of staff of an infantry division, and the other is the deputy division commander, and it can be said that they are a cut above Carter in terms of position or rank.

Although Carthus belonged to another infantry division and was not under their jurisdiction, there were times when things didn't work out that way. As mentioned earlier, Carter only became the colonel in his 50s. Although it is not uncommon for a white-haired colonel in his 50s to be in his 50s, it is important not to forget that this is not a time of peace.

Just two years ago, an unprecedented war had just ended, and Carter, as a Turkish officer, was of course involved in this war. However, even after participating in such a big war, Carter was still just an ordinary colonel infantry commander, and you can imagine how 'hard' he was in the background of the army.

In this case, how dare he offend the two people in front of him.

Especially when the two people in front of him are almost 40 years old.

That's right, what Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan told him at that time was indeed very clear, but some things could not be taken as ordered. For example, this kind of offending thing, although he can be regarded as doing it for the country, if it is done, then the government will definitely reward him.

But what about after that?

What's more, it may not be successful, after all, he has seen the power of those Russians. To be honest, although nearly 10,000 troops were gathered this time, Carter really didn't dare to predict the auspiciousness of this battle.

And if it fails, then these people who are detained by themselves will definitely seek revenge on themselves!

So if you don't want to die by yourself, it's ugly. Carter felt that it would be better to curry favor with them first―――――― at least let them not hold too much grudge against themselves, otherwise they would really have trouble sleeping.

Nature. Carter also thought about victory, but the probability was still too low.

Let alone...

Victorious. Not necessarily a good thing, either.

After all, there were so many troops participating in the war this time, but in the end, a colonel in Carthus, the commander of the regiment, won the victory, what does this mean? It's hard to say, but at least in the eyes of ordinary people, this just says a lot about the incompetence of others!

In this way, such a victory may bring many disasters to Carthus.

So even if he might win, Carthus still needs to say hello to these people...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Since you're not going to let us go to the front, then why are you holding us up?!"

Maybe it's because of Carter's smile. So even though his face was still gloomy, the officer in it said coldly.

"There's no way around it," Karthus shook his head with a wry smile. Who let the order given to me from above is to hold this mountain, and not to retreat a step―――――― of course, we all eat this bowl of rice, it is clear that this order is actually useless, the problem is that it is one thing to be defeated by someone and have to retreat, but it is another thing to retreat on your own initiative..."

"If I had to retreat because I couldn't beat the Russians. I believe that Ankara's side will not do anything to me either. But if I had withdrawn before I had met the shadow of the Russians, I could have imagined what would have happened to me. ”

"So I can't help but resist~"

Saying this, Carter's face couldn't help but show an aggrieved expression.

However, those two officers will not be deceived by him, but will be very direct. "In that case. Then you carry out your task and hold us for what to do. ”

The other officer nodded. After all, they ran well, but they were suddenly detained by Carter.

"It's all the mention of those two Chinese..." without hesitation. Carter put the black cauldron on Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan. "It was they who brought up all the defeated soldiers and used them as cannon fodder. I was reluctant to do so, but many people in the command heard what they were saying. And I support this approach, and I have no other way to do it. But I didn't expect that those two Chinese actually had their faces detained..."

At this point, Carthus's face once again showed an apologetic expression.

"I'm really sorry, and I ask you to believe that this is definitely not my intention, of course, I also want to let the two go now, but now many people already know about the two in the army. At this time, if you let the two of you go, it will easily cause a mutiny, and by that time the situation will probably be completely out of control, so please let the two of you stay..."

In fact, Carter is indeed reluctant to detain these two people if he can.

After all, these two can almost be said to be two masters, and if you detain them, not only will you not be able to do anything at all, but you may also cause a lot of trouble. It's just that I can't put it.

Of course, this is also the idiocy of these two guys. After being blocked, these two guys actually directly revealed their identities and asked Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan to let them go.

On the other hand, after hearing their origins, Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan were overjoyed. Originally, they were still worried about the morale of the army, but now they actually sent two people who can boost morale, is there anything luckier in this world than this?

So while holding the two people in tain, they quickly ordered their subordinates to publicize the matter to the whole army.

There was no way, although this time the two of them did detain a lot of deserters, turning this infantry regiment in Carthus into an infantry division of nearly 10,000 people. However, its combat effectiveness is very worrisome, especially in terms of morale.

After all, it is a group of deserters, and it is difficult to ask them to make some breakthrough in morale.

This is exactly what Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan are worried about, if the Russians come, these guys will collapse because of morale. Even if there is an Overseer, it is useless―――――― after all, there are many soldiers in the Overseer who are originally groups of deserters.

Even the members of these Warlords may escape if necessary. By that time, the tide has really turned.

And now. The two officers who came were equivalent to a morale booster.

Originally. The deserters feared nothing more than their own lives, and all those who were in charge had fled.

Now these two living treasures have been detained. It is tantamount to announcing to the officers and men of the whole army that they will treat everyone equally. Both soldiers and officers will fight to the death on this mountain, so naturally there is no need to worry about morale―――――― even if it is not very high, but at least it can reach the point of being usable.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, Wang Ruhui's hand with He Wenyuan can indeed be said to be very beautiful, and the results are also very good. After learning that there was a colonel and a brigadier general like himself, they were also detained and used as ordinary soldiers.

The soldiers who were just thinking about escaping finally stabilized completely. After all, even the generals were detained and used as soldiers. What do they have to complain about?

As a result, almost overnight, the morale of the entire army was greatly changed.

But this also brought a problem, that is, Carthus could not let these two people go lightly. Originally, after learning that the two of them had been captured, according to Carter's wishes, they were allowed to leave with their guards. After all, it can be said that these two guys staying here are almost useless, they will only waste food in vain, and may even cause a lot of trouble.

And if you let the two of them go, there will be two less troubles in the first place. Secondly, they will definitely be thinking about their own human feelings. In this way, even if he fails in his next mission, there are people in the army to help speak―――――― at least according to Carter's understanding, these two people are very hard in the background of the army...

However, for now...

To know. The morale of the whole army was almost all supported by the fact that these two people were detained, and if the two of them were released now, it would not only be the deserters who had just recovered some of their morale. I'm afraid that even the infantry regiment led by Carter will also collapse.

With such consequences there, how dare Carter let the two of them go...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Listen to Carter's words that are almost complaining. The expressions of the two officers changed, and in the end, they could only grit their teeth. "Those two damn Chinese..."

"That's right." Heard these two people scolding Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan there. Carter echoed with affection.

In fact, Carter was actually scolding Wang Ruhui in his heart for being nosy, wouldn't it be good to just let the two of them go, why just detain the two of them, and as a result, these two nasty guys stayed here.

Naturally, Carter would never say these words, after all, these two people were still sitting in front of him.

Perhaps because of the relationship between Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan who scolded together, the relationship between the three of them has eased somewhat, and the expressions of the two officers are not as gloomy as they used to be.

"So, how are you going to arrange for the two of us...", perhaps because the atmosphere eased, the deputy division commander couldn't help but ask the question he was most concerned about.

In fact, it was not only him, but the other chief of staff as well.

After all, they know how powerful the Russians are, if they really send them to the front line to fight, it is no different from letting them die―――――― of course, they can also run, but there is a Warlord team behind, these two people can almost be said to know it, that is, if they really let the Warlord shoot at themselves, then those soldiers of the Warlord who were originally their subordinates will never hesitate.

Or for those soldiers, shooting their former commander is exactly what they expect, especially if it can be justified.

As if seeing the hidden worries of these two people, Carter hurriedly spoke to reassure. "Don't worry, of course I won't do this, then the two of you just need to go to the front line and pretend to let people see the two of you, and then I will send someone to take you back to this tunnel, please rest assured, this place is very strong, and it is still behind the mountain, it is difficult to be hit by artillery fire..."

"In the next battle, if it is smooth, the two of them will naturally sit back and relax, and if something goes wrong, the two of them will have almost no safety risks..."

Hearing Carter's arrangement, the two of them immediately relaxed.

In fact, this tunnel is indeed very safe, because he is on the other side of the mountain, and the location is very secret, basically unless it is a big luck, otherwise there will be no shells to fall here―――――― bombers are possible, but this time the Soviet Union does not seem to have the intention of sending the air force.

Just when the three of them were basically relieved and had a good conversation, there was a sudden alarm outside.

Hearing this voice, the three of them were all startled, because they knew very well that this sound meant that the enemy was already approaching.

"Are the Russians coming so soon?" said softly, as Carthus looked at the two officers. Please come with me, you don't need to do anything else, just show your bottom and let others see what you look like..."

Maybe it's because of the relationship that they have just talked about, this time the hearts of the two of them are no longer repulsed, so they quickly nodded happily. Anyway, it's just a show, and it's not really desperate... (To be continued......)
