Imperial Elite

Chapter 149 Damn it! Harrison is completely lawless!

For someone who dared to go hunting alone in the Arctic Circle at the age of six, carrying a gun and a small bag, operating behind the Teutons' lines was something that sounded scary but was actually not difficult.

Since the Teutonic army had already issued a code that Andrei's guerrillas would impersonate the Teutonic army, the Teutonic army not only began to update the code daily, but also conducted rapid-fire questioning and answering with officers who looked suspicious.

The Q&A content is basically the same as the Teutonic Encyclopedia, with questions like "Who is the worst Teuton in the world?" that only a native Teutonist could answer.

Of course, being too authentic is also not good. For example, if someone asks, "Who is the most lawless person in the Teutonic Kingdom?", and you answer correctly, then the suddenly appearing military police next to you are laughing, the armed guards driving tanks are laughing, and the Imperial Security Bureau is laughing along with them.

But this was no problem for Andrei at all, because the Teutons set up checkpoints and increased patrols on roads and in villages.

Andrei completely avoids places like roads and villages.

Andrei, dressed in a Buntanian military uniform, led four soldiers and the nurse who was leading the way into the woods.

Generally speaking, surviving in the wild is an extremely difficult thing. Human technology and society have developed for tens of thousands of years, the core of which is to make ourselves no longer have to live in the forest.

But for Andrei, living in the forest was incredibly comfortable. The bushes were his fruit bowl, the streams were his kitchen, and the entire forest was Andrei's refrigerator.

On the first day of his journey, Andrei made a bow by hand and proved himself not only as a good hunter but also as a true Buntanian by shooting a deer.

Of course, Andrei's main purpose this time was to recruit people and make the Teutons think that he wanted to go find his father.

Therefore, Andrei could not stay in the forest forever. Even if Andrei was willing, the four soldiers and the nurse he took with him obviously could not stand this overly retro lifestyle.

So every now and then, Andrei would come to a village or town and observe the environment to find out how many Teutonic troops were stationed there.

At this time, the main force of the Teutonic army was still in Gaul, where the main force of Gaul and the Bonitania expeditionary force were at odds, so there were not many troops stationed in these places where there was basically no resistance.

Even if there were troops stationed there, because Old Joe was still stirring up trouble in the East, and even like a nomad, he brought the flames of war all the way to the outskirts of Germania, these troops were not even second or third-line troops, and their numbers were not many.

Since their numbers are small, Andrei will not hold back.

The nurse was to follow the machine gunner to the police station or military camp gate to set up a machine gun and block the entrance, while Andrei personally dealt with the police and guards who were not at the camp.

After finishing his business, Andrei would go to a bar, order a beer, and then address the locals who were staring at him as if he were an alien: “Hello everyone, I am Andrei Harrison. I’m about to cause some trouble for the Teutons, so I’m recruiting heroes from all walks of life. If you’re interested, you can join me in doing something.”

After finishing his beer, Andrei would pick out some useful items from the loot, such as the clothes, identification, ammunition, and documents of the unfortunate men who had been killed.

Then, before the patrol arrived, they returned to the woods.

Or perhaps Andrei is in a particularly good mood that day, or perhaps he is in a particularly bad mood, for example, if there isn't a single brave guy in the village, no one wants to join him, or if the Teutons here are particularly wealthy, with so many machine guns and ammunition that he can't carry them all without a vehicle.

Andrei would then choose to ambush the reinforcements that came to support the garrison in the village.

Of course, an ambush requires the right mindset.

Andrei's ambush basically involved setting up some simple tripwire mines with hand grenades in the forest, and then setting up a few machine gun positions.

Because the Teutonic general-purpose machine gun had a very high rate of fire, a hundred-round belt could be fired in the blink of an eye.

So usually there are only two or three ammunition belts in a position. When the guerrillas here run out of bullets, they abandon the machine gun and the position and run away under the cover of their comrades.

According to the Teutonic tradition, they would definitely launch a pursuit at this time.

Then the Teutons who tried to pursue would be attacked by other machine gun positions hidden in the forest, as well as by the little surprises Andrei had left for them in the woods.

Typically, Andrei would prepare two to four lines of fire to cover the weapons and equipment he couldn't take with him. However, these Teutonic troops, who were only third-rate, would realize they were being ambushed when they encountered at most the third line of fire.

Then retreat to the highway, and then, depending on the situation, start calling for air support.

By the time the air force arrived, Andrei and his men had already vanished.

Because these garrison troops were almost completely outmatched by Andrei's partisans and treated like dogs, the Teutons, feeling humiliated, would always try to suppress the news.

However, such news obviously cannot be blocked. Although many residents of the Low Countries did not have the courage to take up arms against the Teutons, they not only had the audacity, but also a great deal of audacity, to speak ill of the Teutons in private.

In fact, because Andrei and his men had to march through forests where there were no roads, rumors sometimes spread faster than Andrei and his men marched.

So soon things turned out that in the villages of the low-lying countries near the Teuto border, many strong men would sit in bars all day doing nothing but eating a plate of biscuits, smoking a pack of cigarettes, and drinking a beer.

If you happen to run into Andrei, you might walk into a bar wanting a drink.

These burly men would immediately say, "Give me five minutes. My luggage is all packed. Also, should we wear military uniforms or civilian clothes?"

When Andrei set off from that hunter's hut, he had only five men with him, but by the time he reached the Teutonic border, he had almost a reinforced company of soldiers with him.

At the same time, thanks to the cooperation of the Teutons, the company was very well equipped, with each squad even having one more machine gun than a standard Teutonic infantry squad.

And after summarizing the experience of fighting in the forest during this period, Andrei did not change the uniforms of these guerrillas, after all, changing hundreds of uniforms would be quite troublesome.

However, in addition to their uniforms without rank insignia, Andrei also provided his men with a bunch of green hooded cloaks to adapt to ambush operations in the mountains and forests, after a casual raid on a Teutonic warehouse.

This thing provides cover during ambushes and keeps you warm at night, making it an essential item for home, travel, and mountain ambushes.

Because of Andrei's attire, his troops were called the Green Men or Green Robes by the people of the Low Countries.

Furthermore, because the drunken people of the Low Countries believed that they had lost on the battlefield, they wanted to win back their losses at the dinner table. As a result, they exaggerated the fighting power of Andrei's troops to an unparalleled level. If they hadn't at least a little bit of basic decency in their boasting, they would have almost called Andrei's green-robed men Space Marines.

It turns out that drunkards can never do anything good.

Just as Andrei was secretly developing his strength in the woods and had already reached the border.

Andrei, who had been having a smooth journey, encountered two minor troubles.

Firstly, by this time, Joe had already ended the Germanian campaign. Although Joe was still causing trouble in the East with his troops, with the end of the Germanian campaign, the Führer could free up some troops from the East and continue to reinforce the West.

Although on the Eastern Front, almost no unit withstood Old Joe's attacks, even in the Germanic Campaign, a campaign touted by the Führer as a great victory, the exchange ratio between the two sides was 1:3.

However, these troops that had been beaten by Old Joe were clearly much stronger than the third-rate troops that Andrei had been encountering before.

Secondly, it was because of the telegram he had sent earlier, which was intended to mobilize the Teutons, but Andrei had not expected that the Teutons could not be mobilized.

He did manage to mobilize the Bunitania people.

In an effort to bring him back to London, Winston dispatched three hastily assembled commando teams to parachute into the forest to support him.

As a result, these hastily assembled commando teams were clearly not well-suited to this kind of behind-enemy-lines warfare.

Although the Teutonic logistics and second-line troops were severely punished after the airborne landing, they were too arrogant and did not understand the principle of fighting and running away.

Of the three assault teams, one has been annihilated, one is surrounded, and the whereabouts of the third are unknown.

So, facing the Teutonic border so close at hand, Andrei finally understood why his father always had so much praise for London.

Since my father has already fled Germania, theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem with me turning back now.

After all, the Teutons are there, they can't grow legs and run away, but once a person's head is lost, it can't grow back.

So Andrei did not hesitate to lead his troops back to help the Bunitania commandos.

If they hadn't been wiped out by the time Andrei arrived. But what Andrei didn't expect was that his departure would actually cause the previously successful leader to break down.

1940 was supposed to be a good year for the Führer, as he had the main forces of the Teutonic Knights’ archenemies, Gaul and Buntania, surrounded on the coast.

Despite the Gauls' fierce resistance, the Bunitas deployed their navy to cover the retreat of their expeditionary force. In a total mobilization, the Bunitas threw almost everything that could float into the sea in order to bring their young men home.

The entire air force of Bonitania was mobilized to try to provide an air defense umbrella for the retreating troops.

However, faced with overwhelming power, their efforts yielded little result, and the submarine and air forces carried out a massacre along the evacuation route to Buntania.

Ultimately, less than half of the Bunitania expeditionary force returned home, while the main Gallic force, having run out of ammunition and supplies, was forced to surrender.

Although this battle cost the Teutonic armored forces and air force a great deal of money.

Even the armored divisions of the armed guards at the forefront, in their reckless charge, lost nearly half of their troops.

But it was all worth it. The Teutonic Air Force produced several more legends in this battle, with several pilots surpassing the thirty-kill mark, which is almost a third of the Red Knights.

The armored aces of the Armed Guard also achieved seven victories in their hunt against the Gallic armored forces.

Now, standing between the Führer and Paris are only some fragile defensive lines made up of second-line troops from Gaul and newly mobilized forces, while the armored divisions that had gone to rest and recuperate have now been replenished and returned to the front lines.

Next, the Führer prepared to launch a large-scale offensive, similar to the Emperor's Offensive in the last war, to completely conquer Gaul.

This time, without the interference of the Bunitania and the Americans, the Gauls had to rely on themselves.

Everything seemed to be going well, and the leader was about to fulfill the greatest dream and wish of his life.

But even in this great victory, there is still a small stain.

That's that damned old Joe, and that damned Andrei.

In short, it's impossible for the Führer not to panic when Old Joe's army was at the gates of Germania.

After all, it was the capital of the Teutonic Empire, the center of its thousand-year-old empire, and Germania had not been attacked even during the last great war.

But now, Old Joe has actually led his troops to Germania.

Although Joe's forces were small, under the continuous air strikes, it was virtually impossible for him to occupy Germania.

But what if?
After all, that's Old Joe. Who knows what this guy, known as Immortal Joe and the most dangerous man in the Old World, will do in Germania?

Thus, the National Socialist Party's propaganda machine was fully mobilized, drawing on all the forces around Germania in preparation for a direct confrontation with Joe.

As everyone had predicted, Joe led his armored forces and crashed headlong into the Germanic defenses.

Even with our backs against Germania and the morale boost they had, Joe's troops were still slowly breaking through the Teutonic defenses.

This forced the Führer to take time to pay attention to Germania's movements while focusing on the encirclement and suppression of the Gallic forces.

Then, twelve hours after Joe launched his attack on Germania, he suddenly and without hesitation led his troops to withdraw from the battlefield.

This stark contrast left the Führer momentarily bewildered as to what Old Joe had actually done.

But soon, the Führer found out exactly what Old Joe had done.

After the Battle of Germania ended, the Germanian defenders reported that although they had held Germania, Joe's infiltration forces had still caused considerable damage to Germania.

For example, the statue of the goddess on the Brandenburg Gate was destroyed in the battle, the Nazi Party symbol on the top of the Reichstag was also destroyed, and even the NATO flag was raised, just like the Eiffel Tower in the last war.

At first, the Führer didn't care about these trivial matters; as long as Germania held on, that meant he had won.

Having beaten Joe three times, I'm really too strong.

Then the Führer realized how foolish he had been; all he knew was that Joe was a film director, and very good at making movies.

But what the Führer didn't know was that Old Joe was also a master at being disgusting.

Because the National Socialist Party had previously produced a propaganda film called "Triumph of the Will," Joe quickly produced a documentary called "This Is Their Victory."

The content is very simple. Basically, it's about Joe leading his troops from Bohemia, pushing all the way to Germania, planting a flag on top of the Reichstag building, and blowing up the statue of Victory on the Brandenburg Gate.

Basically, anyone who has seen this movie will believe that Old Joe has conquered Germania and there is no one left alive in Germania.

The truth is that Old Joe spent twelve hours breaking through only the first line of Germania's defenses before running away.

But no one cares about that; Old Joe has the movie to prove it!

Look, they've even planted flags at the Reichstag building, and the Brandenburg Gate has been blown up!

Can this be false?
The Führer wished he could strangle Joe himself for fabricating facts.

The feud between Joe and the Führer is now, in the Führer's view, beginning to escalate into a personal vendetta.

And with that old bastard Joe causing trouble, his son is also getting restless.

After intercepting the telegram, the Führer initially thought that Old Joe, after a lifetime of military service, had failed in raising his son and had produced a useless child who could only cry out "Dad, save me!" on the battlefield.

Then this seemingly useless guy gave the Führer a little surprise.

At this point, the Führer still felt that there was no major problem, since this young Harrison did not have the powerful Buntanian Expeditionary Force that old Joe had backing him.

Erich now has an armored battalion guarding him, and unless he's a Space Marine, he definitely can't handle Erich.

But what the Führer didn't expect was that this young Harrison was completely different from old Joe.

He wasn't targeting Erich at all; instead, he was causing trouble behind the front lines, kicking down a police station one day and a military base the next.

They didn't even bother with logistics warehouses guarded by regular field troops, but instead targeted security forces that had little combat capability.

Unfortunately, the Führer didn't have a good solution for Harrison's tactics of specifically picking on the weak.

The person stayed in the woods and wouldn't come out; no one could do anything about it.

They could only watch helplessly as the people of the Low Countries in the occupied territories, encouraged by Harrison Jr., began telling Teutonic jokes.

This situation, where they had won but not completely, and there were people criticizing them while they were helpless, infuriated the leader.

Damn it! These Harrisons are absolutely lawless!

At this moment, the leader was unaware that, on the other side of the ocean, two Harrisons were preparing to stir up trouble again.

As most people who know Joe know, he has two notable characteristics: he has many women and many children.

And now, those kids Joe kicked out of Citibank are getting ready to cause trouble.
