Chapter 1371 - 445: Incompetent Husband (Part 3)

Chapter 1371: Chapter 445: Incompetent Husband (Part 3)

Even the reinforcements that were nearly arriving could only knock on the unresponsive door outside the force field defense, listening to the intense sounds coming from inside.

Just one wall apart, yet the distance feels as vast as the horizon, seemingly unreachable.

"Huff... Huff..."

Morrison unsteadily opened his eyes from the sickbed, and the first thing he asked after getting up was about the battle situation.

"Did the enemy ship get shot down?"

The soldier who was always by the bedside said

"The enemy’s flagship suffered heavy damage, and the other two ships were also badly damaged, but... they weren’t destroyed."

"Haha..."

Morrison shook his head with a bitter smile, knowing that victory in this battle was impossible, but not achieving the strategic goal was okay, as long as there was no loss.

Based on the battle damage ratio alone, our side should still have the advantage.

"Right, did we capture any enemy alive from the Bolla? Maybe we can extract some intel from them."

"Gen...General."

The soldier stammered, giving Morrison a bad feeling

"Hmm?"

"Bolla... The Bolla was... seized and taken away by the enemy."

"I’m furious! Ugh!"

Morrison, heavily wounded, fell back onto the bed, unconscious.

The Potter Forest and the other two ships managed to break through the enemy’s satellite firepower network successfully, not just relying on heavy metal cloud rockets, but partly due to a bit of luck.

Space-based weapon satellites, due to long-term saturation shooting, and poor space cooling effect, soon overheated and had to stop for a period of cooling.

This terrifying change in the weather even dispersed Cuba’s annual monsoon clouds, evaporating unknown amounts of seawater, leading to potential violent weather changes in Cuba for some time.

But fortunately, they ultimately managed to endure it.

Besides the successful breakout, there were various gains and losses on other fronts.

Super Earth faced the Anglo-French Allied Army head-on, with both sides engaging in fierce battles at the Padre Port in Las Tunas province.

Due to a large amount of military equipment being dispatched to Varadero, Super Earth lacked air support, or even if there was air support, it was useless, as there wasn’t enough backup to replicate Varadero’s tactics here.

Five armed ships simply couldn’t be directly confronted by a bunch of ground troops.

The initially unstoppable offensive was thwarted, with the stealthy soldiers suffering huge casualties and having to retreat, while the opposite side pursued aggressively, reclaiming nearly half of Camaguey province.

If it weren’t for news of a defeat in the front battlefield that made the Anglo-French Allied Army scrutinize further advances, the losses would have been even greater.

While there was a defeat on the Eastern Front, players achieved another victory on the Western Front.

Due to reasons inconvenient to disclose, Cuban Corps suffered from prolonged shortages, coupled with conscripting nearly untrained civilians who lacked education and quality.

The expected collaboration with European infantry for a counterattack by the Cuban Corps ended in incredible defeats and rout, with the battleground collapsing.

Following this, the exposed European soldiers faced horrific assaults from multiple corps of players.

No matter how high their morale or how good their equipment, they couldn’t stabilize their position under siege by players several times their number, and soon crumbled.

In this extremely critical time, with Havana’s territory on the brink of invasion, a warrior stood up.

A wheelchair led his regiment to fiercely counter the pursuing enemy, erupting into [intense battle] outside Guines, lasting two hours, successfully repelling Horizon Mercenaries’ strong offensive.

From then on, Wheelchair became famous, becoming the sole shining point on the Western Front.

The nightmare, already far in Europe, couldn’t believe this news, but regardless, it was quite something to brag about, so with a wave of his hand, he remotely directed Wheelchair to be promoted.

Thus, in less than a month, Wheelchair rose from a soldier to a colonel, commanding a brigade, becoming Havana’s biggest military figure (all high-ranking drug lords had already fled to Europe, following West Fire Grass to speculate in bonds).

Although currently, Havana’s organized forces combined might not even make up a brigade, this was unimportant.

The critical point was that the European Community finally found a point to brag about.

To cover up the defeat on the Western Front, media companies packaged Wheelchair as an unprecedented and unparalleled genius in Cuba,

Even invented an inspiring growth story for him—a gambling father, bedridden mother, school-going brother, and helpless him...

In communication studies, what you are isn’t important, what’s important is what you can be.

For the media audience, they need an abstract person or symbol, rather than a specific person.

"What the f***..."

Wheelchair saw the newspapers written by European journalists, with an old phlegm stuck in his throat, unsure of how to spit it out.

He also clearly sensed that being a colonel wasn’t easy at all.

Were the recruits in his command any good—didn’t he know?

The supposed two-hour fierce battle was purely firing shots from a distance, with Cuban soldiers having high war-weariness, and hostility towards the Europeans steadily increasing.

Moreover, Europeans’ actions of harvesting Cuban minds became increasingly blatant, even openly catching people on Havana streets with various absurd excuses.

This is a powder keg endlessly stuffed with explosives, primed to blow at any moment.
