Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"Order all army groups near the Port Reagan River to assemble at the Port Reagan River."

"The choice of commander to defend the Reagan River port..."

Salo President Kolcraw Gran turned his gaze to Defense Minister Bernard Lewai: "Defense Minister Lewai, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

“.....................” Bernard Levi felt a headache coming on upon hearing this.

Given the current pace of the Daqian Zhenguo Army's advance, the difficulty of defending the Gangligen River can be summed up in two words: unprecedented!

In this situation, asking Bernard Levi to recommend a candidate for the commander in charge would be a huge mistake!

If they succeeded, everyone who recommended them will be happy.

But if they can't hold on, whoever recommended them will definitely suffer the consequences.

Bernard Levay, who was the Minister of Defense of Salo, had already suffered this loss.

So when Bernard Levi heard that Kolcliffe Glen had once again asked him to recommend a commander, his scalp tingled!

"President, Clements Bancroft of the Southwestern Army and Melville Abel of the 37th Army."

"And Swift Dominic of the Northern Corps is also an excellent general who is very good at defensive warfare."

"Their ability to withstand pressure on the spot is also very strong."

"It should be said that all three of them are quite suitable candidates to take on this important task."

Bernard Levi gave three candidates and left the decision to Kolklaf Glenn.

“Hmm…” Kolcliffe Glenn listened to Bernard Levi’s list of recommendations, seemingly without giving it much thought, and nodded silently.

"However, the three people you recommended..."

Kolcraw Grant thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "It seems like we won't be able to extricate ourselves from this situation anytime soon."

"Clement Bancroft and his Southwestern Army are fighting a bloody battle against the Daqian Zhenguo Army in the Tubusi region, thousands of miles away."

"If we change commanders on the eve of battle and damage morale, the Tubuxi region will probably be completely finished."

"Melville Abel had only been in command of the 37th Army for less than half a month."

"Moreover, the 37th Army is currently holding the Valin Fortress."

"The reason we sent Melville Abel there was to better defend the Valin Fortress."

"As for Swift Dominic of the Northern Legion.................."

Kolcraw Glenn frowned even more: "The capital city receives urgent telegrams from Dominica almost every day, requesting reinforcements."

"The Northern Army Corps is suffering repeated defeats, and just a few days ago it was almost 'encircled and annihilated' by the Daqian Zhenguo Army!"

"Entrusting the defense of the Reagan River to Dominica, which only knows how to ask for help and retreat, will only damage our morale!"

"I won't feel comfortable letting Dominic go!"

"If it weren't for the current staff shortage, I would have brought Dominic back as a senior staff officer long ago!" said Kolcraw Grant, his face dark.

Well! After all that back and forth, Bernard Levi's three recommendations were essentially meaningless; none of them actually took office...

"Don't just stand there, do you have any other suitable candidates to recommend?"

"Or they may take the initiative to step forward and shoulder this heavy responsibility."

Kolcraw Glenn's gaze swept over each of the attendees.

However, after looking around, no one volunteered to take on this hot potato.

Whether or not the port can be held is secondary.

However, Kolcraw Gran's statement that he would use prohibited weapons by any means necessary in the Battle of the Port Regan River silenced the assembled Salo generals.

Now everyone knows—whoever takes this job...

That would mean someone fired the first shot that violated the rules of engagement and steered the war into an indiscriminate mode!

Although this order and supreme directive were issued by Kolcraw Grant, the president of Salo,...

However, whether Kolcraw Glenn will ultimately bear the blame is another matter entirely...

When that time comes, the most readily available scapegoat will probably be the supreme commander of the Battle of the Gangland River.

Therefore, faced with Kolcliffe Glenn's question, the generals present automatically fell silent, and no one was willing to step forward as the first to speak out...

However, some quick-thinking individuals had already begun to ponder the names of those in the Salar army who were at odds with them.

Obviously, if Kolcraw Glenn were to insist that everyone present recommend candidates, some people would definitely prioritize recommending those "enemies" they didn't get along with.

However, what Korklav Glenn did next startled the Sharo generals present.

After looking around and seeing that no one was speaking, Kolcraw Grant immediately made a decision: "Since no one has anything to say..."

"Then I'll just call out the names directly!"

"There's no need for that."

"Those present are all senior generals who can stand alone."

Kolcraw Grant said with a grim face, "Today, the choice of commander will be made from among you!"
