Huffman stared at the data on the screen of the power armor helmet, his face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he was extremely disgusted with Miles Mark's order.
Obviously there are no risks around the "Eternal Life", and the impact of a giant tsunami on it can be ignored. Why do the supporting troops have to accelerate at the expense of damaging the intruder's spacecraft power system?
Huffman couldn't figure this out, but Huffman knew that the parent company of the Ever Given, Rivien Cultural Tourism Group, belonged to the Rivien family. And Hector Rivion of the Rivien family, now the governor of the Changgeng System, was the culprit that made Huffman completely give up on the top management of the Kabasi Empire.
Regarding this old incident, as age and time went on, Huffman gradually let it go and no longer pursued revenge. So when he received the order from Miles Mark to rescue the Ever Given, Huffman readily accepted it without hesitation. Now Huffman's starting point for everything is to be a soldier of the Kabasi Empire and to protect this country with all his heart for the hundreds of millions of ordinary subjects of the empire.
Huffman knew very well that Miles Mark's backstage was the Rivien family, but Huffman didn't care. Huffman led 6 companies to rescue ordinary subjects on the "Eternal Life" and had nothing to do with the "Eternal Life". "Whether it belongs to the Rivien family, Huffman's former enemy, has nothing to do with whether Miles Mark's backstage is the Rivien family.
After the rescue team set off, Huffman continued to receive the latest synchronized data during the voyage, and gradually began to have different ideas about the rescue operation. Since the "Eternal Life" is not in any danger, why do the six companies of the 11th Regiment Base go to the rescue? This is an unwise behavior that wastes the empire's public resources.
Two or three times, Huffman considered suggesting an immediate withdrawal of the relief force. However, life experience told Huffman that the rescue here should be Miles Mark's personal act to please his backstage Liweien family, not out of public motives.
If things had gone according to the past, Huffman would have definitely exploded on the spot and immediately led his troops back the way they came. It’s different now. Huffman has learned to accept some things. For example, for the sake of Yi Chen’s planetary battle hero title, he is willing to give up resisting Miles Mark and take back the appointment right of temporary company commander from the instructors. He will not blindly force it. steel.
But the premise of all this must not break Huffman's bottom line.
Miles Mark is now using the Imperial Guard to please his backstage in the name of justice, and Huffman can accept it. However, Miles Mark would rather damage the Imperial Navy's invader spacecraft than try to please the Rivian family at all costs, which made Huffman very angry.
Huffman adjusted his mood and said in a calm and firm tone: "Commander, as the head of the support force, I am on the front line and have the power to make emergency decisions on the spot. Based on the information I have, I think the support force is in accordance with the Rushing to the "Eternal Life" at the current speed is the most suitable tactic!"
In the central control room of the 11th Regiment base, Huffman's holographic image on the tactical map was uploaded, and the voice refused to execute the order for the support troops to advance at a speed exceeding the limit.
For an instant, the area around the tactical map became silent. All the instructors looked at Miles Mark, wanting to see how the commander of the 11th Regiment Base would handle the current situation.
You know, not long ago Miles Mark took back all the power of the 11th Regiment Base and became the most powerful base commander in the history of the 11th Regiment Base and also in the history of the entire Fengrui Planet.
It can be said that the current base of the 11th Regiment is Miles Mark's voice, and other instructors can only follow Miles Mark's lead.
Of course the instructors did not like this situation, so they would not jump out and scold Huffman for disobeying military orders. The instructors even hope that Huffman can succeed, so that maybe the 11th Regiment base can return to its previous situation, and the instructors can once again have a certain amount of power.
Huffman's refusal to execute Miles Mark's order to activate the discretionary power also makes sense. The so-called generals are not subject to military orders abroad. The front-line commanders of the army can make the most appropriate decision based on the battlefield conditions.
The question is what is the most appropriate decision? When can the right of discretion be activated? This is difficult to define, and it mostly depends on the final result of the battle. If you win, everything will be easy, and the front-line commander’s decision will be fine; if you fail, there will be wrangling (this chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 375: Remove Huffman
If you are not careful, front-line commanders will be held accountable and severely punished. Therefore, in most cases, no front-line commander will contradict his superiors and will obey orders. .c
"Huffman is worthy of being an old man at the 11th Regiment Base. I admire him, admire him, and dare to openly challenge Miles Mark's authority!"
"Haha, I hope Huffman can succeed and slap Miles Mark in the face! This Miles Mark is so vicious that he transferred all my old friends out of the 11th Regiment Base."
"..."
All the instructors have their own little ones in their hearts!
Before Miles Mark could say anything, Kubri jumped out and cursed: "Huffman, what are you talking about? You are on a mission to rescue ordinary people, not a combat mission, so don't dream about it. What kind of emergency decision-making power do you have! Immediately execute Commander Miles Mark’s order, otherwise military law will be imposed!”
The reason why villains are sometimes more likely to succeed than gentlemen is because they are shameless enough to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and even confuse right and wrong, misrepresent a deer as a horse, and have no regard for facts and rules. A gentleman, on the other hand, follows the rules and does not dare to go too far. Everything is done in accordance with the established rules and his hands and feet are restrained. This is equivalent to two people competing in a running race. The gentleman rushes along the road to the finish line, while the villain cheats by jumping over the fence and taking a small path. Naturally, the villain reaches the destination first.
When Miles Mark heard that Huffman refused the order, he became furious. The prestige that Miles Mark had just established at the 11th Regiment base did not allow anyone to challenge it.
It's just that Miles Mark doesn't have a good way to deal with Huffman's imperial team tradition of making spontaneous decisions. Even if Huffman was punished after he returned to the 11th Regiment base, it would not help the current situation. That's why Miles Mack didn't reprimand Huffman immediately. Years of leadership have taught Miles Mark to be patient.
Kubri's words immediately opened up Miles Mark's thinking and took back the initiative. The nature of the rescue operation on the Ever Given was still decided by Miles Mark, the base commander.
Miles Mark hid his anger in his heart, his face was expressionless, and it was not easy to question: "Huffman, this is an operation to rescue the subjects of the empire. You do not have the right to make an emergency decision. I will give you two choices. First, Immediately order the invader spacecraft to advance at super-limit speed, and then let instructor Paulinho take over your command."
All the instructors in front of the tactical map couldn't help but look at Kubri, hating the guy who betrayed all the Panhua ethnic instructors in the 11th regiment base.
Huffman was furious for a moment, but he didn't expect Miles Mark to play a word game. What is the difference between an operation to rescue the subjects of the empire and a combat mission if you encounter a group of monsters?
However, Huffman, who has a tough nature, was not ready to give in. Miles Mark's behavior of treating the Imperial Army as child's play broke Huffman's bottom line.
Huffman said angrily: "I choose the second option. Commander Miles Mark, I hope you understand what you are doing, and you will be fully responsible for any accidents!"
Miles Mark was also outraged. Huffman was making Miles Mark look bad in public. The subtext of choosing the second option was that he would rather not have command power than obey Miles Mark's orders.
Kubri quickly persuaded: "Commander, don't be angry, it's important to rescue the Ever Given now. Huffman is just a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill!"
Miles Mark calmed down a little this time and said coldly: "Huffman, I am the commander of the 11th Regiment Base, and I will be responsible for all matters of the entire 11th Regiment Base. Okay, now you hand over the command to Instructor Paulinho!"
Immediately, a holographic image of a young man wearing GR10 lander power armor appeared on the tactical map. The young man took off his helmet and looked a little excited. He quickly saluted: "Report to the commander, Paulinho reports, please give instructions!"
Miles Mark nodded with satisfaction and repeated the order just now. Paulinho only hesitated slightly before executing the order.
Soon, the red dots representing the six companies of the 11th Regiment Base on the tactical map suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the "Eternal Life" spacecraft.
Miles Mark proudly said to the people around him: "Fly the "Everlasting Life" (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 375: Remove Huffman
There are many subjects on the ship. They applied for rescue from our 11th Regiment Base, which is the best compliment to our 11th Regiment Base and also a trust in every Imperial Army member of the 11th Regiment Base. We should be proud of this, because it means that we are worthy of our salary, worthy of the subjects of the empire, and worthy of His Majesty the Emperor! "
Kubri shouted "Hello", and then took the lead in applauding Miles Mark's speech, so everyone in the central control room of the 11th Regiment Base had to follow suit, and there was thunderous cheers in an instant!
Miles Mark feels very accomplished at this moment, and this feeling of being surrounded by stars is so refreshing.
Kubri said flatteringly: "There are more than 10,000 recruit training bases in Fengrui. The "Eternal Life" did not go to other bases for rescue but applied to us. This shows that our 11th regiment base has become a It is the most famous recruit training base in Fengrui Star. Haha, it would be very sad if a recruit training base is not needed."
"Hey, instructor Kubri said it well. Compared with our 11th regiment base, other recruit training bases are pathetic. We can achieve today's achievements thanks to Commander Miles Mark's hard work over thousands of years. !" An instructor was infected by the emotion and started to flatter him.
At this moment, a discordant voice interrupted the warm atmosphere in the central control room.
