Chapter 29 Still Fighting
"European War..."
Montgomery, sitting in a jeep, was thinking about the situation in Europe. As a general who focused on military affairs, he was also used to expressing his love and hate clearly in his thoughts.
He doesn't like the Federation of China, just like what he is facing now, it makes him dislike the Federation of China...
"This is the camp of Angel International protected by Thunder International. Any army on the warring party, unless we put down our weapons and are regulated by us, then you can rest in the camp for 12 hours and get the necessary food and medical treatment..."
In the sky, the patrol rotor aircraft modified with razor rotor attack aircraft kept roaring. The loudspeakers carried on them repeated their warnings over and over again.
Although it was raining lightly at this time, although it was on the edge of the battlefield, Thunder International often did everything possible when performing missions.
This is what makes Montgomery uncomfortable, although these Angel International camps are an excellent shelter for war victims.
But those who were hired to protect these camps were hard to like Montgomery.
Those people were wearing Thunder International’s military uniforms and the signs of Thunder International. In fact, these people were just hidden in the Chinese Guild Hall and the Raptors teams. For them, it was just a matter of changing their armbands.
Soldiers, soldiers from any country in the world, cannot compare with the Federation of China. After all, so far, there is no country's military rules that can be stricter than the military rules of the troops under the Federation of China.
Although this army is a bit banditry when fighting. But when it is not in a state of war, you will find that most of these guys can be called gentlemen.
"Tell them that our convoy will not enter their Angel International camp. If they have British, French or Belgian soldiers in their camp and are willing to go with us, or I can make their camp more relaxed!"
When Montgomery spoke, he obviously had the pride of the past, the Empire of the Sun never set. It was this pride that enabled him to often use the mercenaries of Thunder International as imaginary enemies to confront him when training his officers and soldiers.
"You are soldiers, you cannot be weaker than those international thieves. Unless you become stronger, you are some bastards who are not even as good as thieves..."
The subordinate officers who were often criticized by him in this way had been fully improved while suffering from torture. I am afraid that this is why they can break out of the encirclement.
"Sir, I think this might be an opportunity, maybe we can send the wounded in, you know that makes them live, or it's not that painful anymore..."
The adjutant sitting beside him whispered a suggestion that although their cars were enough to carry all the soldiers of the Third Division. However, it would have been too late for the injured soldiers to be treated when they arrived at Dunkelke Beach.
"There will be a good field hospital there? I see this suggestion when everyone is rushing to escape..."
After a while, in order to obtain a safe route, the Third Division, which was operating on the edge of Angel International Camp, moved again.
At this time, there were no wounded soldiers on the car. Many Belgian and French soldiers who had already rested at the Angel International Camp joined the Third Division of Montgomery who were heading towards Dunkirk.
At this time, the car became crowded, and even on Montgomery's jeep, soldiers carrying weapons took the car.
"Dunkerke! When you get there, the British Expeditionary Force can leave the French coast, just..."
Except for those who do not like Thunder International, who still sits in a rotorcraft on patrol during those light rainy weather, Montgomery also doesn't like the British general who now commands Dunkirk Beach - John Gott.
While thinking about these things, Montgomery, who did not ask his subordinates to add a car tent in the light rain, raised his head.
Except for everything he was not satisfied with, he had to thank God. After all, on such a night, if the weather was not bad, then how could the British Third Infantry Division be so easily escape from the siege of the German army?
When you think of the huge German aircraft under the clear sky, there are little demons everywhere, "dandelions" that are precisely destroyed, and those vi-s-s missiles that will make harsh sounds when passing through the sky.
"If we in the UK also had that perfect air force..."
Air power, on the first day of the war, was hit hard by the weapons that would cause headaches. This almost completely caused the Allies to lose air supremacy on the first day, and the abominable huge air carriers provided by the little demons also caused serious damage to the armored forces on the ground of the Allies.
"otherwise……"
Otherwise, the British army would not be so vulnerable when facing the German army. The powerful armored forces would not lose most of their power before fighting with the German armored legion.
"I hope the Prime Minister has understood the shortcomings in our military power, and I hope this defect can be corrected as soon as possible..."
Not long after, Montgomery arrived at Dunkirk Beach. As a commander of an infantry division without heavy weapons, but still had basic strength and was still intact, the situation at Dunkirk Beach worried him.
There are not only French soldiers, but also a considerable number of Belgian soldiers, and more British soldiers who have not suffered major losses. But what Montgomery cannot tolerate is that when the soldiers on the beach face the possibility of returning home, they have almost no belief in fighting.
"This is a shame for the British Army. General Gott, if he can, I think we should organize as much resistance as possible!"
Lieutenant General John Gott, as the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, also didn't like the somewhat rebellious Montgomery in front of him. But as a commander, he had to unite his subordinates at this moment.
"Montie, why don't you sit down? In addition, I am honored to inform you that you have obtained the rank of lieutenant general and the qualification to command the Second Army of the British Army..."
The increase in military rank and the number of troops in his hands did not please Montgomery, and as a soldier, who once performed peacekeeping missions in Spain with Thunder International, he could not tolerate the situation on the beach.
"This way, Your Excellency Commander, I want you to hand over the defensive missions to command the Dunkirk area, especially I hope to command all the ground forces here!"
John Gott looked at Montgomery in front of him with suspicion, trying to see if he had heard any rumors.
Yes, in a short while, John Gott planned to take his command back to England. In the distance of Dunkirk, there was the French First Army, which was still resisting, and on the beach were mainly the remnants of the British Army and some Belgian troops.
About John Gott's eyes made Montgomery understand that his tone just now was a bit too much.
"General, I know that Britain is now doing everything to rescue us, but I think as long as the British are still on the battlefield, we should continue to fight."

—————————————————————————————————————— Lieutenant General John Gott thought for a moment, then showed his appearance of being convinced by Montgomery.
"Well, if you really want this, we're going to leave here in a while. If you want, then all the British troops here and the other people you can get are all yours!"
Montgomery waved his hand and saluted.
"Mr. Commander, I wish you a good journey. If possible, please ask those ships that will rescue us and bring us some food and ammunition.
Please believe that your subordinates will persevere until the last moment, so that everyone in the world will understand that the British army is always an army that can fight! Can we leave?”
Montgomery, who said the above words seriously, left the command of the British Expeditionary Force after receiving the permission of General John Gott.
Then he told his plan to his adjutant.
"We are not in a hurry to leave, that would be something that the Germans like. And I don't like them very much, and I don't like what they like.
First, we will use the soldiers of our Third Division to organize a huge military police force. I want every soldier who can fight on this beach, as well as every cannon with shells...
Whether it is Belgian, French, or British, at this time, they must understand that they are first and foremost soldiers with honor and responsibility...
The car is cleaned and filled with soil to form an anti-tank wall, the same is true for cannons without shells, and they use landmines to protect these obstacles...
The firepower point of our defense base should be able to control the entrances of these obstacles. German tanks that cannot fully deploy their troops will lose their ability to impact...
Concentrate ammunition so that those air defense firepower can exert their maximum strength. I want that bastard Hermann Gorene to touch the bruised face here..."
Soon after, the surroundings of Montgomery, who had arranged everything, became quiet. Looking at the rushing English Channel in the white lang, he thought about what he was worried about.
"If the French cannot stop the Germans...If the ship that came to pick us was attacked fiercely...If the Germans' armored forces...everything, the whole world must know that the British are still fighting and the British are not defeated yet!"
Yes, whether Montgomery's decision is correct will probably depend on the result of this "generator" operation. So can Dunkirk's retreat be prevalent this time?
