The train driver in the courtyard

Pearl Harbor, which was in charge of the monkeys' affairs, also wanted to keep the Battle of Jubang Mountain a secret.

The key issue is that this defeat was too devastating; over fifty helicopters were lost.

News of the Green Berets' disastrous defeat at Jubon Hill quickly reached the White House.

After listening to McNamara's report, President Ken nearly smashed the conference table to pieces with his fist.

His recent crackdown on the mafia earned him a lot of applause, and now it's time to press his advantage, which is why he sent people to cause trouble in the straw hat area.

To prevent the Russians from intervening, they even adopted special warfare tactics. They thought that with the most advanced helicopters, they could be sure of victory, but they ended up giving them a huge surprise.

"Idiot, trash," even the usually civilized and elegant President Ken was now spouting words related to genitalia.

The military officers sitting next to them all hung their heads and dared not utter a sound.

"Where is Colonel Hauz? Remove him from his post immediately and send him back here," Commander Ken ordered after venting his anger.

One of the military leaders stood up: "This defeat was entirely due to Langley's faulty information; the blame should not be placed on Colonel Haus."

The Grand Commander of Langley stood up and quickly said, "I assure you, our information is flawless. Colonel Haus was too careless. I suggest that he be held accountable and sent directly to the special court."

"No problem? Why were those straw hats prepared in advance?" the military leader shouted.

"Furthermore, according to Colonel Haus's telegram, the Straw Hats have actually used anti-armor helicopter tactics. This must have been given to them by the Russians, and you were completely unaware!"

The two started arguing in front of President Ken.

President Ken was at a loss for words and could only wave his hand and say, "Quiet down, let's make a decision after we've investigated this matter thoroughly."

"Furthermore, this matter must be kept strictly confidential; news of the Battle of Zhubangshan must absolutely not be allowed to leak out."

After saying that, he kicked the door and left (Comrade Guanhai kicks the door.jpg).

The commander-in-chief did not notice the several military leaders exchanging glances and a slight smile playing on their lips.

Under these circumstances, President Ken was very distressed, extremely distressed.

It's not because he needs to take responsibility for failure.

Instead, the commander-in-chief originally intended to hold the colonel accountable, but several military leaders protected him for various reasons.

Ultimately, the worst punishment Colonel Hauser received was merely being transferred back to Pearl Harbor.

His position changed from commander of the front-line teams to chairman of the Special Operations Committee, responsible for coordinating air operations and support deployment of armed helicopters.

In some ways, Colonel Hauss's position was actually promoted.

It's clearly abnormal that someone was promoted after suffering a defeat.

The commander sensed something was amiss and dispatched an observer to the straw hat.

As a result, the small plane carrying the observers was hit by a missile from their own warship on the sea.

The investigation report indicated that this was a perfectly normal accident; a small plane had mistakenly entered a military exercise area.

The implication is clear: if President Ken continues the investigation, he'll be acting irresponsibly.

President Ken originally thought that the Mafia was troublesome enough, but now he realized that there was something even more terrifying than the Mafia in his own backyard.

"Is this the military-industrial complex that the person from the East was talking about?" President Ken sat at the large table without a Coke button and let out a long sigh.

"How does that Easterner know so much about the situation here?" He was filled with questions.

"Patriot, how did you know the colonel would be spared?" Inside the weather station, the farmer was incredulous when he saw the latest news sent back from Xiao Mei's house.

"Teacher, would you believe me if I said I guessed right?" Li Aiguo said half-jokingly.

If he told the teacher that the real head of Xiaomei's family was a military-industrial complex, the teacher definitely wouldn't believe him.

"I believe you." The farmer nodded emphatically, not for any other reason than that the boy was incredibly lucky.

This is something that even the higher-ups have specifically mentioned.

Li Aiguo: "."

Li Aiguo didn't bother with other people's business.

The reason I came to the weather station today is because detailed information about the Battle of Zhubangshan has arrived.

This is invaluable firsthand information, which can play a crucial role in improving our own armed helicopters.

Li Aiguo took the documents and was about to leave when the farmer called him back. "Aiguo, a victory celebration is being held over there. They've decided to award you the Three-Star War Medal."

Upon hearing this, Li Aiguo paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "I'm not from the other side of the straw hat, so I don't need this kind of medal."

After saying that, Li Aiguo left with the documents.

Old Cat watched his retreating figure, somewhat puzzled: "The Three-Star War Merit Medal is the third-ranked medal over there. It's very rare, and all recipients are outstanding war heroes. Why doesn't this kid care about it?"

The farmer was quite satisfied with Li Aiguo's attitude and nodded, saying, "Some things are better left unsaid."

He turned to Old Cat and said, "Could you please explain to the comrade over there that the train driver has a special status and it is inconvenient for him to accept the medal, so that he can be careful not to hurt the harmony?"

"Yes"

If Li Aiguo hadn't been aware of how history was unfolding, he might have actually been tempted.

Unfortunately, in a few years, this thing will not be a medal, but a hot iron.

****
For the next few days, everything was peaceful within the family, as if nothing had happened.

but.

The thing that frustrated President Ken the most still happened: the American family newspaper received intelligence and published a report on the Battle of Zhubangshan.

At first, the family members didn't believe it.

This is a nearly invincible squadron of armed helicopters.

Colonel Haus was a helicopter tactics expert on par with Major Jay Van der Poole.

How did we lose?

And they lost so badly.

Staff Officer Ruan had made preparations in advance, and mailed those photos to major newspapers around the world.

This is an era where pictures speak louder than words. When the family saw the photos of the destroyed armed helicopters, they were in an uproar.

"More than fifty armed helicopters were destroyed, and Xiaomei's family suffered heavy losses."

"Is it feasible for straw hats to employ mysterious tactics and for large-scale armed helicopter operations?"

The Battle of Zhubangshan was one of the most devastating battles suffered by the Mei family since the Northern War.

The members of the extended family had a vague feeling that the younger brother Xiaomei's family wasn't so scary after all.

John Bull, French Rooster, and other members of the opposing side felt that their backers were no longer reliable.

The Russians' attitude was the strangest.

It's obvious that the Battle of Zhubangshan had nothing to do with him, yet Xiaomei's family is now accusing him of helping the straw hat achieve victory.

If the truth were revealed directly, the honor that had been earned would be lost.

If I admit it, Xiaomei's family will target me.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should we do?" The committee member from the Russian side asked the Corn Emperor for his opinion.

"What do you mean, what to do? This is our achievement! Publish an article immediately to celebrate our Southeast Asian brothers' victory!" The Corn Emperor rarely gets a chance to shine in the big family these days, so how could he let the credit slip by?

not to mention.

In the Battle of Zhubangshan, most of the weapons used by the straw hat were provided by them, so it is only right that they deserve this credit.

"Things in Southeast Asia are outrageous! I helped them win, where are my medals? Where are my medals?" The Corn Emperor puffed out his chest, which was covered in medals, and tapped his fingers heavily on the table twice.

"I'll inform them immediately." Xie, the head of the Internal Affairs Department, wiped his sweat, feeling somewhat disdainful.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone snatch military medals, but he didn't dare to voice his opinion, since everyone knew that the Corn Emperor was particularly fond of military medals.

"Yes, the medals need to be big enough and shiny, understand?" the Corn Emperor instructed.

"Understood, don't worry, I will notify Southeast Asia immediately." Commander Xie nodded repeatedly.

The medal-bearing general (who had not yet taken office) sitting not far away was feeling somewhat depressed.

Such a large medal should have been hanging on his chest; it's such a pity.
