Chapter 245 My Uncle Governor
"Okay, that's a good idea. The troops encountered a flash flood, and it was not a crime of war. We were going to succeed, but it's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of others." Bullide praised.
"Commander-in-Chief, do we want to implement this method?" Chalvez asked.
Bullred waved his hand and said: "Go quickly, go quickly. Kill those natives today. As for the rest of us, let them be honest and don't be clever."
"Okay!" After receiving the order, Chalves disappeared in front of Bullade and began to implement the plan.
On the same day, the servant army was disbanded. At the same time, Chalvez ordered the Portuguese soldiers to drive the indigenous servant army into the Kingdom of Malawi, and rewarded those who did not want to leave with a bullet.
"You all remember, if anyone asks, just say that they encountered a flash flood, so that we can go back safely. If anyone dares to tell the truth, don't blame me for being cruel!"
…
"Mr. Governor, the Commander-in-Chief of the Kingdom of Portugal's Expeditionary Forces in Karawi, Burled, is reporting to you."
"Good, very energetic." said the Governor of Mozambique.
"Mr. Burled, why are there only so few people back? Where are the three thousand natives who set off? And if you are back, doesn't it mean that the Kingdom of Malawi has not been defeated?" asked a young official next to the governor.
Others looked on with cold eyes. Today's young people are like tigers, but they will be taught a lesson in the future. Didn't you see that everyone didn't say anything? You just interrupt.
"Who are you? You don't know me!" Bullade said in surprise.
"He is Major Chakov, newly sent by the Kingdom, from the Negran region of Portugal." The governor was the first to explain.
It turned out to be a "country bumpkin" from the Portuguese countryside, so Bullade decided to ignore this guy for now and look for opportunities to educate him later.
"Our unit entered the Kingdom of Malawi in early March. As soon as we entered the Kingdom of Malawi, we clashed with several tribes. Under my command, the Portuguese soldiers fought one against ten, and finally defeated the enemy and won the first battle. It took another seven days to advance the front to the Chipoka area, which is 100 kilometers away. Since then, our army has been unstoppable... Just when victory was in sight, an accident happened." Speaking of this, Bullade took a look from his pocket. He took out his handkerchief and began to blame himself hypocritically: "After all, it was my mistake in judgment that harmed the soldiers! In order to capture the whole of Malawi as soon as possible, I led the army northward and did not dare to stop for a day. As a result, I encountered an unexpected person. When there was a flash flood, the indigenous servants took the opportunity to rebel, and the flood caused heavy losses to our unit."
"So that's it, Burled, you don't have to blame yourself. This was a complete accident. There is no good solution for anyone who encounters this kind of thing. Moreover, you have completed the task well, and you are worthy of the heroic soldiers of Portugal." So even though we didn’t win the Kingdom of Malawi this time, I still want to commend you.”
"Thank you uncle...Mr. Governor! On behalf of the soldiers, I thank you for your understanding." He almost called me by the wrong name, and Bullred was embarrassed. After all, it is better not to plot so loudly in formal occasions.
Of course, the Governor of Mozambique heard about Bullred's mistake just now, and he felt a hatred in his heart. This nephew was really just like his sister's love-minded one, he was hopelessly stupid.
In fact, of course the Governor knew what level Bullred was, but thinking that the natives of Malawi were being attacked from the north and south by East Africa and Mozambique, their strength would definitely be worse than before, so it was better to let his nephew take advantage of it. He didn't expect that such a simple thing would let this The idiot screwed it up. However, he is not so stupid that he knows how to make up an excuse to clear himself of the crime.
Just when the two were contemplating how to turn the fact of defeat into victory, the indifferent Major Chakov spoke again.
"Mr. Governor, I don't think they should be rewarded, but should be punished. After all, the entire operation failed completely without taking over the Kingdom of Marawi, and the so-called flash floods can only show that Mr. Bullred is eager for success. After all, any military-minded person has to pay attention to weather factors."
No one lets you talk! Bullred was so angry that he and his uncle had set the tone, and this guy came out to disrupt the situation. He was just about to go up and give Chakov some color.
The governor on the side was the first to speak: "Well, there is nothing to question about this. You are completely over-concerned. I'm afraid you are a newbie here and don't know how bad the climate is in the interior of Africa. If you have time, go outside Maputo by yourself. Go take a look, there are rivers and wetlands everywhere, and they flood in the rainy season. Especially when Bullred went on the expedition at the end of the rainy season, but he went all the way north and caught up with the northern rainy season, so the flash flood was a complete accident. It can be said to be an experience error, and although we did not win the Kingdom of Malawi in this war, we also severely damaged the indigenous forces in the Kingdom of Malawi, so I declare that the overall completion of this mission was good, and I would give it an eight out of ten. No problem, who is in favor? Who is against?"
"Mr. Governor is right, Chakov, you are still too young and do not understand the real situation in Mozambique, so don't question the Governor's decision."
"That's right. I have been in Mozambique for a full ten years. I know the weather in Mozambique best. That is, accidents may happen at any time. General Burled can lead a small number of people into the Kingdom of Malawi to fight. You said you did it very well, but I dare say that nine out of ten people here can’t do it, don’t you think so?”
"Yes, judging from this war alone, Burled is definitely our most capable general in Mozambique. We absolutely support the decision of His Excellency the Governor."
Soon, under the bragging of many people, Bullred became a wise general who was "good at fighting". With Bullred around, the Mozambique colony was as solid as a rock and indestructible.
"Well, Bullred did a good job this time, and a commendation is indispensable. And some people should not question the kingdom's 'good generals and loyal ministers' casually. If Bullred has nothing outstanding, this governor will promote him in an exceptional way. Will you be the commander-in-chief of this crusade against the Kingdom of Malawi?"
What's extraordinary is that Burled has a good mother, and it happens that his mother has a good brother, and what's even more coincidental is that this brother is the governor of the Portuguese Kingdom's Mozambique Colony.
When things got to this point, how could Major Chakov not understand that this bullshit Mozambique colony was just a nest of snakes and rats? He was already disgusted.
"Mr. Governor, I have been feeling unwell recently. I may not be suitable to work in the colony. I am afraid I have to leave here." Chakov said.
"Oh, Major Chakov, in fact, I have noticed a long time ago that on the first day you arrived in Mozambique, your face was not very good. I am afraid you are not accustomed to the climate. In this way, you write a letter of resignation and I will issue you a certificate. After all, Mozambique It’s not a good place, it’s not as good as the mainland, so you’re still suitable to work in Portugal.”
"Then... thank you, Governor." Chakov said. Although he quit on his own initiative, Chakov remembered these faces. If he becomes successful in the future, he will decide to recalculate this score.
The matter has been perfectly resolved and everyone has gotten the results they wanted. What about the Kingdom of Malawi? Of course I pretended not to see it. Anyway, this operation was organized by the Mozambique colony itself. If there are any losses, it has nothing to do with the kingdom. It will be over if it is ruined.
