Chapter 120 IX Commander Takes Office

It was said that Major General Guingamp and his staff went to meet the new commander of the British Eighth Army, General John Wirtz. 【】

As soon as Gan Gang led his people to the entrance of the headquarters, he saw a long motorcade approaching not far away.Leading the way were several motorcycle guards, all equipped with 'Bren' light machine guns.Behind them were several trucks full of soldiers, all of whom were verified by nuclear guns, and their expressions were very serious.But what is puzzling is that these soldiers are all wearing military police uniforms.

Going here, Gan Gan said, "This new commander is quite airy, and even his gendarmerie has to be transported here by plane. No wonder he arrived a few hours late. But it seems that he has never seen anyone use the gendarmerie to be himself." The guards. The more you do this, the more you have to be careful. Anyone who is weird is difficult to serve."

When Guingamp was lost in thought, the convoy had already arrived in front of the headquarters building of the Eighth Army.The soldiers in those cars jumped out of the car without being greeted by anyone. Some of them rushed into the headquarters building, and some directly took over the security work outside the entire headquarters building.

Originally, there was a company of guards outside the headquarters, but these gendarmes handed over the firearms of the guard company without any explanation.The soldiers of the guard company were originally high-spirited figures, but in the face of those unreasonable gendarmerie units, these people really couldn't say anything.What's more, this is the military police brought by the new supreme commander.

In a short while, the Cairo headquarters of the entire British Eighth Army was completely controlled by the people brought by the new commander John.

This behavior did not catch Major General Guingamp's eyes at all, but Guingamp did not say a word.Still standing there respectfully.After everything was over, the door of a military jeep between the convoys was opened.One or two gendarmerie officers got out of the car, and then an officer in general uniform slowly got out of the car.

Before the general could make any move, Major General Guingamp hurried forward, stood at attention in a standard military posture and said loudly, "Report to General John, the Chief of Staff of the Eighth Army and the officers of the General Staff of the Guingamp Association are here to welcome you." coming." A forceful military salute followed.

General John gave Guingamp a disdainful look, and then raised his hand casually as a military salute.Said, "Well, I see. Let's go in first." Then he strode into the headquarters building of the British Eighth Army.

Seeing this posture, Guingamp thought, "It's a bad thing, this guy must be blaming me for not bringing someone to meet him at the airport." Guingamp hurried to lead the way for John, and led John into the headquarters all the way.

After arriving in the command hall, Guingamp realized that all the guards' emotions had been replaced by General John's.They are all military police.

Major General Guingamp felt a little cold sweat, Guingamp didn't understand what he did wrong, why did this John want to remove the guards of the entire headquarters.

When Guingamp let General John into the office, the two gendarmerie officers who followed the general also followed into the office.And closed the door of the office casually.And there were also two armed policemen standing outside the door.

Major General Guingamp was very puzzled as to why John would do this, but it was because the British army did not have the habit of asking the senior officers first.Guingamp still held back.

John was about to speak, and before he spoke, he slammed his baton on the desk.Then he said, "Guingamp, I ask you, what is going on in Cairo. Why are there riots everywhere. Why don't our troops stop it."

Gan Gan said in his heart, "Stop it? What can I do to stop it? Didn't you let me mobilize the army? If I mobilized the army, you would come here and bite back and say who made you so bold to mobilize the army? Is it reasonable and I can't explain it?" .”

But Guingamp didn't say that.Guingamp also has a set. "His Excellency the General" Here Guingamp uses the word general, not your Excellency.The intention is to remind General John, don't take yourself too seriously. After all, I am also the chief of staff of the major general of the Eighth Army, and I am much lower than you, John.

"Your Excellency, General, I am following your request. I will not mobilize any troops before your arrival. This document has been issued as an order to the entire army. Therefore, I do not have the right to mobilize troops to suppress the rebellion." Guingamp Kicked the ball to General John.The meaning is very clear, this is your order, do my thing.

"You are taking responsibility, as the interim commander of an army. You are fully responsible for the current situation in Cairo. I will report this matter to the Ministry of War." John said sternly.

""Major General Guingamp was thrown into the shit bowl abruptly.However, Major General Guingamp was not particularly afraid. Guingang started his business with Meng Ge, so as long as Meng Ge had nothing to do, there would be no problems in Guing Gang.And Meng Ge is a typical example of the prime minister personally under the tree. As long as the government does not collapse, Guingamp is not afraid at all.

John kept Guingamp silent, thinking that Guingamp had been frightened by him.Feeling proud for a while, John said again, "Those Egyptian mobs, I will let them know how powerful I am. This time I have to kill a few to relieve my hatred."

"What's going on, did the Egyptians make things difficult for you?" Guingamp asked hastily.

"No, I don't know where my adjutants have been taken by these mobs. If I hadn't met this patrolling gendarmerie halfway, I would have been attacked by these mobs. I'm afraid of being ashamed if I say it. A dignified army commander was besieged by a group of mobs when he took office. Guingamp, you can tell me why there is such a riot in a good place in Cairo. Also, tell me about the various divisions of my army Where are the troops now?" General John said.

"Well, I'm not particularly clear about the situation in Cairo. It seems that all the Egyptians in Cairo started to leave the city suddenly. It seems that there are rumors that the Germans are going to attack Cairo. The various units of the Army Group are still fighting the Germans on the front line. Due to the sandstorm, we have also lost contact with the troops on the front line. According to the last battle report sent back, the progress of several of our armored divisions has been hindered, and the German armored troops have already connected fire with them." Guingamp also Without concealing the situation, he gave John General a general account of the current situation.

General John couldn't help but gasped when he heard the words. He thought he came to Egypt to take over a strong and elite army.But who would have thought that such a complicated situation would be encountered.Not only lost contact with the troops on the front line, but even Cairo seemed to have problems.

At this time, John couldn't help but think too much, and directly issued the order "Guangan, you write down the order. Let the city defense troops send out manpower to suppress those Egyptian mobs. Don't be polite to them, and use all means if necessary. In addition, look for me The whereabouts of the poor adjutant. Also, you record the names of these military police officers. I will give them medals, without them I may have been killed by the mob"

"Yes, Your Excellency General. I'll do it right away." After speaking, Guingamp handed the drafted order to General John.

John gave the general idea, and then signed his name in a fluttering manner.

At this moment, one of the two gendarmerie officers next to him said, "No need, generals. You don't need to issue such an order."

Guingamp and General John couldn't help being taken aback, and they looked at the young officer who had the audacity to interrupt the conversation of the two generals with surprised eyes.This young man was very patient, with a warm smile on his face.A smile gives a very comfortable feeling.

John turned his face away and asked Guingamp, "Why do all the officers here have the habit of interrupting the conversation of their superiors?"

"My officers here? Aren't they your guards?" Major General Guingamp said in confusion.

"Why would I bring the military police as a guard, and I have nothing wrong with it. I was attacked by those mobs on the road, and then I met these military police. I thought it was someone you sent to protect me." John General said.

"Then they are..." Major General Guingamp suddenly felt an ominous premonition.His hand could not help reaching for the gun worn at his waist.

But before Major General Guingamp could touch the gun on his waist, the two gendarmerie officers came up and punched Guingamp directly to the liver in the abdomen.This punch almost killed Guingamp, and the pain caused by the blow made Major General Guingamp even have trouble breathing.Major General Guingamp curled up in pain and fell to the ground.

The gendarmerie officer drew the 'Webley' from Major General Guingamp and nodded to the other gendarmerie officer.Standing aside again, he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and his image was so cool that he couldn't die.

At this time, the gendarmerie officer who had interrupted John's signing of the order just now walked to John's desk, pulled a chair and sat down.Then he said lazily, "Your Excellency, you don't need to panic. Come and sit down, let's chat."

General John has already become a frightened bird, but the appearance of the two military police officers, if they don't cooperate, they must be the same as Guingamp lying on the ground.John will have no choice but to sit on the chair pretending to be calm.

"John will be right. Let me introduce myself first. I am Hans, Andri, the SS school of the German Afrika Korps. My friends call me Andri. But I still like to be called my school. The one over there This is my deputy Nicholas Cage."
