Chapter 44 Precious Wealth
"Is there any decentness here? Is this not a humiliation to the Eighth Legion!"
Montgomery asked himself in pain, and in his opinion, as a "decent" stopping the war, then none of this should have appeared in front of him.
The outskirts of Sanandadi, near the border of Iraq, Iran and the British colony, were the stagnation point of the Eighth Legion. However, everything I saw here made Montgomery more suspicious about the commander who had never met in "Thunder International".
As before, the periphery formed by the "fast front" acts as a wall and also serves as a defense line. But sadly, these bunkers are all inwards. That is, these bunkers are used to guard the interior, the Eighth Legion composed of British and French troops.
Outside the "Quick Front", there are several camps of Thunder International. From the flag, it can be seen that in addition to the light brigade and tank brigade of Thunder International, there is another camp with a satellite (i.e., hexagram, also known as David's Shield, Solomon Seal, and Jewish Star).
Montgomery knew from the information of his opponents that it was the camp of the "Zion Column" in Zion City. Sometimes, he wondered how the Jews got involved with the Chinese Federation. Almost all of their cultural origins were completely different.
"Probably because as a race, they are all excluded in this world... or are not respected and liked by others..."
Montgomery's thoughts did not last long, because what he also noticed was that the weapons in these camps were all arranged to be fired at any time. The direction of the muzzle was facing the tent of the Eighth Legion in the middle of the camp.
"This is clearly a camp for custody, not a decent ceremony to end the war!"
Montgomery roared angrily toward the British officer who had come to transfer him, and had landed outside Sanandadi to face the temporary airport. British and French infantrymen came to carry the wounded who tried again.
At this time, Montgomery discovered the only situation that could make him feel relieved but even more sad inside. The officers still maintained guns that symbolized their rights, but ordinary soldiers lost their weapons.
As for the heavy weapons of the Eighth Legion, they have been piled up in a special area outside the battalion composed of the entire fast front. Near the cannons that were covered with cannon jackets, there are also a large number of open spaces, which are probably the placement area for the future armored forces of the Eighth Legion.
"Yes, sir, we all understand, but this is from... the order!"
The officer leading the stretcher team pointed his fingers at the sky. The expression on his face expressed helplessness towards the order. Perhaps in terms of the reactions of the soldiers, this order to hand over the weapons would not be welcome, but in terms of the soldiers' duty, they had to obey the order.
As the stretcher team left the "Air Hospital", Montgomery's amazement at the construction of a rapid camp in "Thunder International" made him realize that these enemies must not be underestimated.
Compared with the tents where ordinary soldiers live, the treatment of the wounded is quite good. Some houses that seem to be assembled in containers form a five-story medical building. It can be seen that the structure of this hospital, which covers a very spacious area, is very simple, and it is just a steel structure with wards assembled with prefabricated cement boards.
The places invisible are actually those hollow steel beams that act as pipes. Whether it is water, electricity, or air, they are all interfaces prepared in advance. You only need to connect these interfaces together when building them to form a very good ward. Of course, when needed, this will also be a wartime residential area for the relevant armies of the "Federal Defense Forces of China".
As the commander of the armored cluster, Montgomery was honored to have a single room. The so-called single room was nothing more than the other beds fixed to the walls in the ward that were not placed down. In the narrow space, a screen separated the ward from the other half, and placed several chairs and a small coffee table as the ward for the living room. In addition, Montgomery also found that there were toilets and bathrooms in these wards.
"These people from the Chinese Federation have indeed very smart heads. I just don't know why they have been in decline for half a century! If there was no such half a century of decline, then..."
Montgomery didn't think about it anymore. He couldn't imagine that if the British Empire had just left the land and encountered the Chinese Federation like today in the Age of Discovery, then how could there be any "Empression on the Sun" on Earth? If the Chinese Federation was like today at that time, I'm afraid that the name "Empression on the Sun" would be the only one who could take the responsibility!
He noticed that there was a desk near his hospital bed, with flowers inserted in a small vase on it.
"Sir, this is the hospital bed specially arranged by Count Erwin Rommel of the Chinese Federation. And he hopes to meet you, of course with your permission!"
The military doctors here are hospitals formed by "Thunder International" and the Eighth Legion military doctors. The other party's military doctors did not show any too much pride in the face of the defeated. They even respect the military rank in this situation!
"Whenever he comes, I don't seem to have the right to decide now!"
When Montgomery said these words, there was something in a state of anger. After that, he closed his eyes regardless of the military doctor's reaction. In his heart, he felt that he could not face them easily.
"This is not a war that failed because of the military's combat capabilities, this... this is a..."
Even the stubborn Montgomery could not defend this war. After all, this was a war with a huge gap in strength, entirely because of the flexibility of tactical use, and achieved a decisive victory.
Despite the help of radar, despite the airborne infantry of the opponent who had attacked before, nothing could prevent the opponent from coming of victory, and all sacrifices were completely less glorious than it should have.
The two doctors looked at each other helplessly, and had to hurry up and complete the examination of Montgomery and leave the general with a bad temper. However, they were also excellent soldiers and were equally serious about Erwin Rommel's orders.
Not long after, a jeep came to the battlefield hospital. He rushed to Erwin Rommel first. In his impression, he seemed to maintain more gentlemanly demeanor.

Even if needed, a city can be quickly built with such modular housing.
So although Erwin Rommel was here for the first time, he still wouldn't get lost. He just couldn't understand why the engineers of the Chinese Federation thought of these things.
"Tu tuk...tuk..."
Montgomery listened to the knock on the door and reluctantly poked his head out of the quilt that covered his head.
It wasn't the temperature in the hospital that made him feel cold? Because the walls are well separated, even the air supply system provides a constant temperature in the entire hospital.
If the only bad thing is that these glass windows are all fixed and dead. I believe that even if some chemical shells explode outside the building will have no impact on the air supply of the hospital.
"Please come in!"
Although Montgomery has always been in a bad mood, this is not a reason for him to refuse to open the door, he is afraid that he will cause a lot of doctors and nurses to come in.
"You are...I think we probably haven't met before... Sorry, please wait..."
Seeing that the person coming in was obviously a German, he was wearing a military uniform of "Thunder International". Montgomer was a little confused, but he quickly guessed that this was the one who arranged a single ward for himself. Although he didn't like to interact with the enemy, as a soldier on both sides of the war, the most basic etiquette and the dignity of the soldiers were things that must be maintained.
"Oh, sorry, I disturbed you, please don't care! Please keep lying down, I beg you not to cause any inconvenience to you because of my arrival."
Although Erwin Rommel said something he didn't have to be polite, he still helped Montgomery, whose face changed slightly because of the pain of the wound, put on his military uniform. He knew that soldiers often attached more importance to this aspect of politeness, because it was not just respect for military uniforms, but actually respect for the duties of soldiers.
"Then, if I guess correctly, you are the commander of Thunder International - General Erwin Rommel. General I have to say that you fully reflect your tactical style in combat."
The enemy's compliments did not make Erwin Rommel feel more happy. After all, he knew very clearly. Without the four words "encirclement point and attack aid", he could not remember to use heavy tanks to arrange doubters. It was these forces, plus some models of tanks and armored vehicles, that were firmly trapped the British and Iraqi coalition forces in Delhiland at that time.
