As more and more information came in, Jethro and Ferdinand grew increasingly tense.
After a while, Ferdinand answered another call.
Now even a blind man could see how anxious Jethro and Ferdinand were.
With his voice thick with tension, Ferdinand said into the phone, "Boss, we have too few men on hand now. The Americans have failed. If we go now, it's just sending men to their deaths, boss. I am not afraid to die, but if we follow the Americans in an attack, it's very likely we'll suffer heavy losses, and that would affect our future..."
Ferdinand didn't finish his sentence before he stopped speaking, a look of dejection on his face. Not much later, his call was cut off.
