“Has the person been caught?”
Ridgway jumped off a jeep and walked to the middle of several rednecks. He ignored them and looked directly behind them.
“The people are here, but……”
“But what?”
“During the chase, this guy resisted fiercely, so he was shot to death!”
Several rednecks who betrayed Anthony looked at each other and lied without blushing.
What kind of person is Ridgway?
When he heard what these people said and saw Anthony’s body beaten into a sieve on the ground, he immediately understood!
Anthony may not have been beaten to death during the escape. Maybe he was killed by his former subordinates after surrendering!
As for why these rednecks want to kill their boss, the reason is very simple, because they are worried that if they don’t get rid of the roots, they will leave hidden dangers for themselves in the future!
Who knows how the Eagle Sauce people will deal with Anthony?
If they kill him, everyone will be happy, but if they don’t plan to kill Anthony, then Anthony will definitely take crazy revenge on those who betrayed him in the future!
Historically, after the end of the Civil War, many generals of the Southern faction, even including Anthony’s garrison General Lister, were not held accountable, and most of them had a good end.
With such a precedent in front, these rednecks have to be vigilant and completely eradicate this hidden danger!
“Humph, so many people almost let him escape, what are you doing?”
Ridgway was naturally very dissatisfied with this result. Catching a living person is definitely more valuable than getting a dead person.
If Anthony had not been beaten to death, he could have handed Anthony over to the Eagle Sauce government, and then let the government use Anthony as a prisoner to make a fuss. It would be best to cooperate with public opinion propaganda, let him parade in all states across the country, and then publicly try him, so that all the Eagle Sauce people can see the fate of traitors!
But now the person is dead, there is no point in saying these things!
Faced with Ridgway’s scolding, several rednecks were very angry in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it on the surface. After all, they have now re-joined the Eagle Sauce government, so naturally they dare not leave a bad impression in front of Ridgway. If Ridgway took the opportunity to kill them, then they can only consider themselves unlucky!
Not to mention, Ridgway really has this idea!
“What’s the situation in Orange?”
No longer paying attention to the fact that Anthony had turned into a corpse, Ridgway was thinking about another more important thing – the reaction of the German army in the east!
“Uh, this, the Germans seem to be quite quiet, and they don’t seem to realize what’s happening here!”
Several rednecks chased Anthony relentlessly before, and finally killed him before he escaped to the German-controlled area. The reason they were in such a hurry was because they didn’t dare to get too close to the German-controlled area, lest the Germans rush out and clash with them.
The rednecks have seen how powerful the Germans are on the battlefield, so unless there are special circumstances, they are absolutely unwilling to confront the Germans head-on!
Ridgway was obviously not satisfied with the answers of several people. Looking at their looks, they obviously did not have any intelligence on the German side, and they might not even have investigated the German side at all, otherwise there should be some useful things.
But he couldn’t get any valuable information from them, which made Ridgway very uneasy!
Although his actions this time were very swift, from the early propaganda to the decapitation operation in which he personally led the armored forces to the heart of the enemy, it took less than a week to completely pacify Texas, and also put the Texas rebellion The instigator was killed, and this speed is probably the fastest among the recent US military-led operations!
However, this week is definitely enough for the German army to react. Ridgway does not think that the German army cannot see his plan.
So he estimated in his heart that the German army should have received the news and even responded from the moment he sent troops to Texas. However, due to the lack of intelligence work, he knew very little about the situation on the German side, so Ridgway now does not even know how many enemies he has in front of him, and whether the German army has sent reinforcements to the west! If he does not know this information, it will have a great impact on his next actions.
Without knowing the exact strength of the enemy and whether the enemy has made targeted preparations, he obviously did not dare to rashly enter Louisiana and take advantage of the momentum of the Texas rebellion that had just been quelled to attack the German army and regain lost territory! If he missed this opportunity, then if he wanted to take back Louisiana next, he might have to rely on positional warfare!
“Never mind. The mission assigned to me was not to attack Louisiana, but just to recapture Texas. My mission has been accomplished, right?”
Ridgway sighed slightly in his heart. Although he comforted himself in this way, he couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed in his heart. It would be so difficult to get such a good opportunity again after missing it!
After leaving an army in Beaumont, Ridgway returned to Houston, the capital of Texas, with the main force, and then successfully recovered Texas. The news of Anthony’s execution was sent to the White House! In the temporary residence of the White House, in the government building in Chicago, after receiving the good news from the south, everyone celebrated and their faces were full of joy.
“Ridgway fought well! In less than a week, he defeated the rebels and killed their leaders!”
“The key is that his own casualties were very low. Our army’s casualties were less than a thousand people, and we only fought one battle in Houston. Other places can almost be said to have been won with a single order. The enemy did not put up any fierce resistance at all and was directly captured by us!”
“This kid, Ridgway, seems to be quite capable. He did a good job in the previous war of public opinion. The enemy’s morale had been almost destroyed before the war, so naturally they did not have much fighting spirit on the battlefield.”
“Haha, does this mean that General MacArthur’s vision in selecting people is still trustworthy?”
The last sentence drew a burst of laughter from everyone. In the Eagle Sauce, there has always been a lot of criticism and doubt about MacArthur’s vision!
