Chapter 16 Breakthrough (Part 2)(1/2)
"Thank you to General Li Fo for me."
In Patit Club, which is only for the gatherings of top elites and rich people, Robert Kerry crossed his legs lightly, looked at the checks on the blue and white plaid tablecloth, stirring the coffee in the cup while leisurely saying, "He is so polite."
The moving music is melodious in the luxurious and warm room, just like Kerry's mood at this moment.
The proposal of the bandit army has been officially written, with a thirty-two pages. A special meeting will be held soon for discussion. If it goes well, the final resolution will be decided in less than a month.
In recent days, this incident has caused a lot of controversy among the senior executives of the Fei League. Kerry naturally became the focus of everyone's eyes. For a politician who speaks out from a political family, nothing is more pleasant than this.
The music ended, and in a moment of tranquility, a middle-aged man sitting opposite Kerry smiled and said, "Mr. Kerry, this matter has nothing to do with General Lifo. This is just a gift from some people who admire you, Mr. Kerry. As for General Lifo, he is only determined to kill the enemy."
"I'm determined to kill the enemy," Kerry's eyes flashed, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and sighed: "General Li Fo is a model of military personnel. Such a stunning and beautiful figure has been suppressed by the commander for so long. If it weren't for the public's voice, he wouldn't be able to show his skills yet... Hey, if it were the leadership of the parliament, how could such a thing happen!"
The middle-aged man smiled and didn't talk to each other.
Kerry glanced at the middle-aged man and changed the subject: "What's ridiculous is that Lerey people cover up their ears and steal the bell. Who doesn't know that the so-called genre mutual aid alliance is actually a cover. They dare to play this snake swallowing elephant. The real reliance is Russell's Lerey fleet that "has gone through thousands of hardships and has only broken through the siege for a lifetime."
"Although Mr. Kerry is outside the battlefield, he has insight." The middle-aged man exclaimed.
The middle-aged man's name is Alex Gambill.
Although his public identity is only the director of the political department of the Dalapai Second Region. But Feiyang knew that Gambir was one of the think tanks that Li Fo relied most and the spokesperson of Li Fo. This is almost an open secret. Gambir never thought of keeping such a secret, and Li Fo never thought of it.
In Feiyang, there are many soldiers with the seal of Li Fo on their bodies. They never thought of hiding their identities.
For them, this is glory.
Gambier has no good feelings for politicians like Kerry. Li Fo has no good feelings for the United Parliament. The cooperation between the two sides is just a temporary interest demands becoming consistent.
Whether in Li Fo's eyes or Gambier's eyes, the least needed existence in this war may be these politicians who have not succeeded in making things better.
When Lerey fought alone against Gacharin, attacked Desik, attacked Suss and Jepeng's coalition forces, which was so tragic. In addition to condemning, the Fiera League Joint Parliament sent people to protest at the Supreme Parliament of Humanity, which had not been completely closed. What did he do?!
Countries are unwilling to be involved in the war first, and these politicians in the Filipino Union Union Parliament are even more deaf and dumb.
The United Parliament is the supreme authority of the Filipino League.
As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Fei League hundreds of years ago, in order to avoid the interests of various countries, the Fei League established a joint parliamentary system.
The parliament is divided into two houses.
The representatives of the House of Commons are all stationed by various countries, while the representatives of the House of Commons are free members of parliament, who are only responsible to the Fei League and do not represent the interests of any country. The House of Commons are independent and restrict each other. The proposals of the House of Commons are submitted to the House of Commons after the minimum number of votes in the House of Commons are approved. The proposals of the House of Commons are also voted by the House of Commons.
In the hundreds of years of cooperation between the Filipino League, a complete system has been formed, whether it is legislation, supervision, economic consultation, military security cooperation or approval and decisions on personnel, budgets and other aspects of various countries.
In general, although there are various disadvantages, the Joint Parliament still plays a great role in the integration of the Filipino member states. However, that is all in peacetime. When the war comes, the members of the Parliament obviously can no longer keep up with the pace.
Before the outbreak of the total war, the parliament was incredibly chaotic.
As early as the beginning of Lerey's invasion of Gacharin, there were foresighted people who spoke loudly and demanded that the Joint Parliament immediately lift the restrictions on the military budgets of the Filipino countries and clear the obstacles for the Filipino countries to carry out war.
This restriction regulations were drafted three hundred years ago. After the fall of the Nadmian dynasty, the rapidly developing Filipino Alliance, in order to strengthen control over its member states and to strengthen unified military security cooperation, formulated regulations that restrict military budgets, limit the size of the army and that countries are not allowed to mobilize wars on their own.
This regulation was not wrong at the time. In the face of the confrontation of the West End, the parliament would evaluate the military strength of the West End every year to formulate a unified military security strategy. In this way, it would not only avoid insufficient military power, but also avoid wasting resources because each country did its own way and wasting resources and falling into an arms race with the West End.
The same regulations were also included in the VA. However, as early as thirty years ago, this regulations were abolished by VA.
After the outbreak of the Lele War, many people realized that the Fei Alliance could no longer imprison their own hands and feet.
But the voices of these people did not even ripples in the parliament. The members of the lower house of parliament were cautious on behalf of the ruling parties and governments of various countries. The upper house of the house was arguing. Most members were unwilling to release their power to the member states, and they were afraid of losing their influence. They would rather believe that Sijo would not dare to start a war.
This situation continued until the war broke out!
It was not until the Fiyan Republic, the Ryan Republic, and the Chakner Republic that the Fiyan Alliance had declared war on the countries of the Siberian Republic. Until the unprepared Fiyan Alliance members lost their armor in the face of the powerful offensive of the Siberian Republic. The parliament passed bills one after another, acknowledging that they were in a state of war, lifting restrictions on military strength of various countries, and authorizing the presidents of various countries to issue wartime mobilization.
This was purely a matter of taking off your pants and farting. At that time, the West Oct Media mocked this.
"The countries of the Filipino League finally couldn't wait for their slow parliament to authorize. I don't know if it's in a state of war, it should be calculated from the day when each country declares war on its own or from the day when the parliament passed the resolution. There is a week apart! This is really a confused battle."
This time, the members of the parliament, who have always been awesome, have been disgraced.
In name, the United Parliament was still the highest authority of the Filipino League. But in the wars that followed, they were basically nothing. The Supreme Command, transformed by the ruling Council of another Filipino League power organization, and the coalition command center jointly established by governments and military forces, took over most of the power. It not only in the military but also in other aspects.
For a MP like Kerry, there is nothing more sad than losing influence.
Over the past few hundred years, the Filipino Union Parliament, both the party governments of the lower house and the free MPs of the upper house, have formed countless communities of interest due to various forces. Among them, there are the interests of giant enterprises and chaebols, partisan cooperation and confrontation, and the interests of political families like Kerry.
Kerry's father, grandfather, and great-great-grandfather are all free members of the United Parliament. The United Parliament is the source of all the power of the Kerry family. Now, this source is slowly drying up.
They also want to get back their power, and they also want to enter the decision-making level of war and dominate the war.
However, in front of them, there was a towering mountain that they could not climb over - Hastings!
The commander listened to Hastings, the commander listened to Hastings, the people listened to Hastings, and even many members of the parliament held almost blind trust in Hastings.
The influence of the war god who created Feiyang's dominance for thirty years was enough to make the entire Union Parliament pinch his nose and agree with all his decisions!
However, pinching his nose was only temporary. Kerry, and there were some members of the MPs who were jumping up and down, but they didn't want to suffocate themselves to death. Even Hastings, they wanted to fight!
In their opinion, Hastings is a soldier after all, and soldiers should go to the front line to deal with the war. The loss of the joint parliament over the Filipino alliance is a regression in the democratic system!
They have been looking for opportunities. Recently, with the defeat of the Filipino League in various war zones, the voices of questioning Hastings have become rampant. Hastings has remained silent and has almost no guidance on the battle situation.
The Longbow Battle that took place at this time obviously gave the Kerry a good excuse. The first step they wanted to do was to use this as an opportunity to form a resolution and create an influence on military affairs.
Then, they will climb up the pole, expand their influence step by step, and launch more proposals. Let the member states and the generals understand that the power of the Joint Parliament is still there!
If they do not want to be the second Lerei Federation and do not want their trophy to be taken away for some reason, then they should put their proud heads under the great MPs.
Gambill took a leisurely sip of coffee. He only handed the topic to Kerry, and Kerry couldn't wait to jump out. This made him very satisfied. Although he hated these politicians, he didn't want the power to be too concentrated in Hastings' hands.
Besides, seeing Kerry's current appearance, he is obviously very interested in winning over Li Fo.
It’s not okay to challenge Hastings if you leave the army! A senior general with heavy troops is more effective than a hundred members of the parliament that are powerless!
The two of them listened tacitly to the music, and did not continue with the question of who gave the check on the desktop. Anyway, there is still time in the future.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you a bad news..." Gambier put down his coffee cup, drooped his eyes, and said casually: "I heard that Major General Lerey's spaceship, named Tian Xingjian, had already crashed on Canglang Star. It's so sad."
"Really?!" Kerry was stunned and couldn't help but sit up straight.
Seeing Gambier nodding, a clear smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's such a pity."
Without this fact, the exiled people of Mars would probably not be very loyal to Russell. These criminals, liars, and thieves never talked about morality or principles. As long as they were given enough prices, there was nothing they dared to sell! If they sent people to come over at this time, contact the elders of the genre mutual aid alliance and let them choose between Russell and the United Parliament, there would be no suspense.
Meaning is nothing more than coercion and inducement.
They didn't think that the Union Parliament would sit and watch the extent to which an uncontrolled force would grow?!
If they make a choice, then... the ownership of the two Elephant-class fleets will naturally be confirmed. Russell can't make any storms with the few remaining fleets in his hands!
"General Lifo, are you interested?" Kerry suddenly felt that the check he had just put in his arms seemed to be missing one zero. The United Parliament could not directly lead the army, but waiting for the price was their profession. Wherever he gave these two fleets to enrich, the Parliament naturally had a great say!
"This has nothing to do with General Lifo." Gambill reminded Kerry again and said lightly: "I heard that General Fischela is under great pressure. Perhaps, the Lere should consider their current situation more. At this time, the parliament will take action, and it will naturally be invincible."
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Sir, b239 position has been lost..."
The temporary command center, the staff in front of the Skynet console stood up, and the report of the trembling voice made everyone around the electronic deduction map cold.
"Where is the reserve team of the Fourth Regiment?" Pei Litong, commander of the 13th Armored Division of Feiyang, stared at his blood-shot eyes, and his voice was hoarse: "Tell the Fourth Regiment Commander Colonel Adams, no matter what, he must take back the position! Now, it is not the time for us to meet God!"
"Yes, sir!"
Turning his eyes back from the staff who sent the message, Pei Litong looked at the combat plan on the deduction stage with a bitter look, and used the electronic pen in his hand to scratch a large fork.
The deduction plan quickly disappeared, leaving only the lush mountains on the deduction stage.
The staff members whose eyes were red were gloomy. The commander of the 51st Infantry Division, Balmer, lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. The old marshal Li Cunxin, separated his chin on the marshal's war and stared at the map in a daze.
This is the eighth combat plan to be killed.
It's not the level of the General Staff... It's really a battle situation, and it has reached an irreversible level.
The first line of defense was completely lost, and the second line of defense was in danger at this moment. The remaining two divisions now have only three-fifths of the troops. It is completely a daydream to break through the enemy's numerous encirclements in these mountains. The Karachi River is to the south, and the hot spring town to the west and the Kafu Town to the northwest have been stuck by the enemy.
Now, the Jie Peng Army, with a total strength of four divisions, is compressing from the east and northeast directions. As long as the second line of defense is broken, the third line of defense being built is only a few hills, and it will definitely not be able to stop the tide of enemies. The 13th Division and the 51st Division will be wiped out by the Karachi River!
"Defense is the stupidest way." Marshal Li Cunxin stood up, knocked on the electronic deduction platform with the marshal's staff, and glared: "After discussing for a long time, you haven't understood it yet?"
"But, Your Excellency Marshal..." Pei Litong and Balmer ignored it and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "We have no chance to break through."
"How can I know if I don't try?" Li Cunxin snorted angrily and glanced at his eyes: "Why did the Chuckner Army become a bunch of crooked and useless people to your generation? I broke through the siege of two divisions in one regiment back then!"
Pei Litong and Balmer's faces turned red, both embarrassed and dissatisfied.
The old man's marshal's rod pointed to a valley leading to the hot spring town: "We still have troops and can gather an armored regiment and two brigades. As long as we move fast and fight firmly, we will have the opportunity to break through the hot spring town. Even if this opportunity is only one in ten thousand, it is worth fighting for!"
The Marshal's Staff moved northwest. "The northern mountainous area is vast and complex in terrain, and there are a large number of towns scattered there. As long as the past is, the people of Jie Peng will not be able to touch our shadows without mobilizing twenty armored divisions! Now that you are not determined, you are still planning to be indecisive until when? Do you have to wait until the soldiers throw their lives on stupid positions before you can make up your mind?!"
"Remember, there is no military action that is completely unconceived." The old man knocked on the stage again: "This is war. In war, everything impossible is allowed to happen! Every victory is fought, not something that is thought out and waited for!"
"Every victory is achieved, not something that is thought out and waited for..." Pei Litong and Balmer chewed Li Cunxin's words, and suddenly became enlightened.
"Order..." Pei Litong gritted his teeth and shouted.
The staff around him stood attentively and his eyes were bright.
"The General Staff Department immediately carried out the plan operation. All troops left the team to cut off the rear and then withdrew from the second-line position in batches. The reserve team immediately established a blocking position on the third line of defense to respond. The entire army was prepared and moved into Wenquan Town along the Fulong Gorge. The Second Armored Regiment set out in advance and must arrive at Wenquan Town before dawn to complete the attack preparation. At seven o'clock in the morning, launch an attack on time. Be careful to hide along the way!"
"Yes!" The staff took the order and dispersed.
Although Pei Litong's body was still as tall as before after giving the order, only he himself knew that all his strength was consumed in this desperate order.
To be continued...
