Shadow Spy

Chapter 457 Loyalty and never abandoning military rules

"Of course I can!" Li Junhao said, "Your Excellency, Admiral, I admire your determination to protect your subordinates, and so do I! Nearly a hundred of my subordinates were actually killed by you as allies. This is not a 'Sorry' 'It'll get through!"

Seeing his determined expression, Ramsay finally couldn't hold on any longer and could only beg for mercy: "Commander Panson, this was just a mistake. The captain just commanded improperly. We have already punished him, and his rank has been changed from The colonel was demoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and he was removed from the front-line troops and asked to guard the warehouse..."

"Ha!" Li Junhao was so angry that he accidentally killed nearly a hundred allied troops, but he was only demoted one rank and went to guard the warehouse? Even the other side didn't let the US military see what the real situation was... Is this called punishment?

He was too lazy to waste any more time on this guy and left with his men - he had more important things to do, and the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers had not yet been recovered! ——

In the next few days, people from the US military and the British army came to Li Junhao to plead for mercy on this matter, but no substantive action was taken. At least the cruise captain was still nowhere to be seen!

At the beginning, Li Junhao met with several generals, but after discovering this situation, he immediately became annoyed and ordered his own guards not to meet anyone except for official business!

Moreover, on July 7, the Allied Expeditionary Force Headquarters was very busy, commanding nearly three million troops to land. He directly found the commander-in-chief, General Eisenhower, submitted his resignation to him, and resigned as deputy general manager. He took the post of commander and landing commander, and then took all the sea and land forces participating in the war on the return transport fleet to set off back to the United States - absolutely all of them, including 18 corpses and 377 wounded!

Eisenhower regretted his resignation, but the main task for which he came to take office had been successfully completed. However, this time the British army accidentally killed land and sea officers and soldiers. As commander-in-chief, he had to consider more issues and could not help. At this time, There was no way to stop him anymore, so he could only agree to let him leave with the land and sea troops. He also hated the British captain in his heart!

However, the commander-in-chief is still very capable. He took a fancy to many new equipment on land and sea, and specifically requested that these things be kept to enhance the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops...

Li Junhao also made a favor and left helicopters, various armored vehicles, most of the individual automatic weapons and heavy equipment to him at the original price. The account will naturally be charged to the Allied Expeditionary Force!

After the land and sea forces return to the United States, they can take the official letter from the Allies and get new equipment from the United States' military aid to Britain... Some of the new equipment is not included in the military aid, but it doesn't matter. Use other military aid. Just pay for the supplies - Hailu now has the support of most domestic military industrial enterprises, and all the new equipment will be in place soon!

Eisenhower certainly knew this. The reason why he did this was to kill two birds with one stone: first, to send these new equipment to the frontline troops as soon as possible to enhance their combat effectiveness; second, to sell Li Junhao a favor - to buy the used equipment of the navy and army at the price of new products. The equipment not only allows the other party to get some benefits, but also avoids the cost of transporting these things back to the country. It can also be regarded as a little compensation for the navy and land forces!

On July 7, Li Junhao returned to Washington and reported his work to President Roosevelt and the Joint Chiefs of Staff...

No one mentioned the fact that he went berserk in the UK and ordered the domestic navy and land forces to seize 10 destroyers that were assisting the UK, as if it never happened!
-

On August 8, Li Junhao led a group of senior military and naval generals to hold a grand funeral and public memorial at Arlington National Cemetery west of Washington for the 5 naval and land officers and soldiers who died in previous battles...

On that day, the weather was a bit sultry, with the temperature as high as 30 degrees, and it started to rain. However, since Li Junhao, all the officers and soldiers of the sea and land generals who attended the funeral were wearing the latest Marine Corps A-type military uniforms (the fourth type of military uniforms are the most common). A formal one), first wet with sweat and then drenched in rain, but during the entire ceremony, no one held an umbrella, took shelter, or complained.

This greatly impressed the officers and soldiers of other services, government officials, media and the public who attended the ceremony!

Marine Corps Type A military uniform - white cap, white shirt, blue and black dress jacket, sky blue trousers (general officer trousers and jacket are both blue and black), black high-gloss dress shoes, black socks; full size worn on the left chest Medals and medals, and a medal list composed of medals and awards on the right chest.

At the end of the ceremony, Li Junhao, as the 18th commander of the Marine Corps and the first service general, announced his latest creed for the sea and land:

1. The belief of the Marine Corps is "eternal loyalty" - loyalty to the country, loyalty to the sitting president, loyalty to superiors, loyalty to comrades and subordinates, and never betrayal!

2. The Marine Corps’ comrade-in-arms philosophy is “never abandon or give up” – no matter what the circumstances, never abandon or give up on your comrades! When the battle is over, regardless of life or death, we must take our comrades home!

3. The first dress code of the Marine Corps is - when wearing a blue dress, you must maintain the best appearance, you must not play or joke, you must sit, stand, and walk in a standard military posture. You are not allowed to hold an umbrella or wear a raincoat when it rains or snows. It is forbidden to do Unbecoming behavior!

After he made the announcement, all the officers and soldiers present felt their blood boiling and shouted in unison: "Yes, Sir!"

Everyone watching the ceremony was stunned. The joint generals invited by Li Junhao all nodded in approval. Leahy said: "The Marine Corps really has a 'soul' this time!"

Marshall next to him nodded and said: "Yes! Ogg has grown to this point now, and the future is promising!"

For those civilian personnel, although they did not fully understand the excitement of the soldiers, they were still shocked by these three creeds of sea and land! Especially the reporters, who were constantly recording the scene with their cameras under the umbrellas held by their companions. Many of them were already thinking about what to write in tomorrow's headlines!
-

That night, the ABC National Radio and Television Network, which had been well prepared, took the lead in broadcasting the live video of today's funeral and public memorial for the officers and soldiers killed in the sea and the land. The three creeds of the sea and the land announced by General Panson caused a huge sensation!

Whether they are middle-aged and elderly people who pay attention to tradition, or young people who pursue new trends, their understanding of the Marine Corps has suddenly increased a lot...

The direct consequence is: a large number of donations are earmarked for Hailu, and a large number of young people request to join Hailu!

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the current Marine Corps has shown its beliefs and specialness to the world. No one will ignore this heroic force again!
