"Master Xingke, I really embarrass you." Zhou Xianglin said with a guilty look on his face.
News of the failure in Afghanistan was quickly sent back to Luoyang. The supreme commander of the dispatched army was killed in the battle, so the only ones to blame were Fang Xiulian, the chief of staff of the expeditionary army, and Zhou Xianglin, the acting chief of the dragoons.
So both of them were summoned back to Luoyang for questioning.
As for the base in Afghanistan, at least the Dragoon organization is still intact. At least the Knightmare will not be unable to move in the base, right? That group of unscrupulous people wanted to storm the base, but they had to make careful decisions no matter what.
"Don't mind, the terrain of that place is too special. As a Knightmare force, the dragoons are really not conducive to fighting there."
Thinking about it from another perspective, even Li Xingke himself didn¡¯t think he could do much. Afghanistan has been a corrupt situation from the beginning. This problem cannot be solved by relying solely on military force.
The backwardness of technical equipment and tactics can be made up for by the quality and quantity of combat personnel, but the policy policy cannot be interfered with by army commanders in any case. It will take a lot of time to regain the lost public support, but now they don't even have this chance.
"We will summarize the experience of this battle and let the troops conduct specialized training in the future." Li Xingke's tone was very indifferent, which made people feel that it was full of helplessness.
"Yes, when my subordinates return to Afghanistan, they will do their best to restore the honor of our dragoons."
"Return, right"
"Lord Xingke?" Anyone can hear the sigh in Li Xingke's tone.
"I'm afraid you won't have this chance."
"Why? Could it be that"
Zhou Xianglin suddenly became nervous. Could it be that the result of this inquiry would be detrimental to her?
The Dragoons did little in the Afghan battlefield. In the battle that led to the complete destruction of the crusade, the Dragoons were blocked at the door of their house by a few snipers. Even if they were not conscientious, they would inevitably feel that the Dragoons had deliberately framed their colleagues. Dislike.
"No, His Excellency Fang Xiulian, the Chief of Staff of the Crusade Army, did not accuse the Dragoons. It would be better to say that he was quite protective of the Dragoons during the questioning."
When Li Xingke mentioned the chief of staff of the crusade army this time, he couldn't help but sigh. Fang Xiulian is a very talented person, but it is a pity that his character is too lazy. If he had been tougher, perhaps there wouldn't have been such a big defeat.
"Why is that?" Zhou Xianglin raised his head in surprise.
"Afghanistan's rebel leaders have made a request for negotiations. They have agreed to remain part of the federation, but in return they demand complete autonomy."
"Complete autonomy?" This strange name confused Zhou Xianglin.
"Federal troops have withdrawn from the entire territory of Afghanistan. Military and police entry needs to be notified and approved in advance, and at the same time, they decide on their own the administrative and judicial power within the territory"
"What's the difference between this and **? Did the eunuchs agree!?" Hearing this, Zhou Xianglin shouted emotionally.
"Do they have any reason not to agree?" Li Xing couldn't help but reveal a hint of anger and unwillingness.
In the eyes of those parasites, Afghanistan is a barren land. This kind of place not only has little to gain, but also increases the burden on the central government every year. What's more, the military expenditures spent to suppress them are flowing faster than water. . If it weren't for the stability of the federation, it wouldn't be a pity to throw away this kind of place.
Now the other party actually came to us and promised to continue to be a member of the Federation in name. It was also a good opportunity for the central government to get rid of its burden. How can a great eunuch refuse to agree to such a good thing?
Although Li Xingke had scolded these eunuchs for their short-term and incompetence countless times in his heart, he had to admit that one of the eunuchs, Gao Hai, had a sentence that was very correct.
¡°We cannot let others see the weakness of the Chinese Federation.¡±
The federation has been decaying for more than a day or two, and signs of internal instability have become more and more obvious over time. However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No one dares to think about such a behemoth.
As the largest rebellion in the Federation in recent years, the war in Afghanistan has naturally attracted the attention of all parties within the Federation. The successive defeats of the federal army have begun to show signs of shaking the foundation of the Federation. At least in the eyes of many people, there will be an impression that the original combat effectiveness of the Chinese Federation Army is no more than this.
??Especially in the Indian Military Region, those elders and chieftains who are not satisfied with enjoying a decadent life, but also want to commit suicide, are jumping up and down within the federation.??Afghanistan is waving the flag and shouting. If the federal army loses a few more battles, I am afraid that this rebellion will sweep the entire country like a prairie fire.
Therefore, it doesn¡¯t matter if you agree to the other party¡¯s conditions now. The federal army can take this opportunity to recuperate, and at the same time re-summary experience based on this war and develop countermeasures equipment. In a few years, we will regain the lost place.
Of course, this last paragraph only belongs to Li Xingke¡¯s own thoughts. As for what the eunuchs think, he doesn¡¯t have much hope for it.
"As a result of the inquiry, you will continue to serve as the acting commander of the Dragoons."
"Continue to serve as acting commander?" Zhou Xianglin heard something wrong from Li Xingke's words. "What about Commander Xingke?"
"In the coming year, Gao Hai will go to District 11 and become the federal consul general in District 11. In exchange for this incident, I will accompany him as the resident military attache."
"How can this be done!?"
"Actually, I don't object to this decision." Li Xingke raised his hand to signal Zhou Xianglin to listen to him.
"After being in this Forbidden City for a long time, my vision and thinking have begun to become narrower. I think it is necessary for me to go out and confirm the changes in the world with my own eyes. Moreover, although Gao Hai is a great eunuch, he is a young eunuch. There are some people who are relatively capable, and they won¡¯t feel too disgusted by being around them.¡±
"It's all the incompetence of my subordinates that has made you suffer so much." Zhou Xianglin, who pondered for a moment, could only apologize guiltily.
On the other side of the world, it¡¯s night in the EU capital¡ªParis
In the brightly lit city, at the cocktail party in the Palace of Versailles, dignitaries wearing expensive dresses were chatting and laughing.
¡°Although Moscow fell, the Bunitania Empire seemed to have no intention of occupying the fixed assets there, and overall there was not much loss.¡±
"At this time, the prospects for using war bonds as an investment are endless!"
"Are you so bold? The performance of the coalition forces on the battlefield in Eastern Europe was not very good~~"
"The large number of uninhabited areas in Siberia has brought the supply line of the Bunitania Empire to a critical point. If they cannot digest the occupied areas, they can advance to St. Petersburg at most, and then there will be a long-term confrontation. Expect"
"Oh? How can you see it so clearly? If you had become a soldier, Bunitania might have been completely defeated on the battlefield in Eastern Europe."
"Ahahaha If so, Your Excellency has given me the award."
"But why did you disclose this news to us?"
"This is not a big business that one person can enter into. The financial promotion requires everyone to work together. Of course, everyone can make money together"
¡°Bankers are really insidious~~¡±
"Ha ha ha ha"
Listening to the loud laughter coming from the venue, the middle-aged man sitting at the leisure table outside the rooftop frowned slightly and shook his head.
"If General Napoleon knew what Europeans are like today, I don't know how he would feel."
The scene of peaceful singing and dancing makes it unimaginable that this country is going through a war that has already lost one-third of its territory.
"Who knows!? Maybe he will climb out of the coffin." The green-haired girl who answered this was suddenly the C.C. who was being searched for by the emperor. She didn't care much about Napoleon.
The full name of the EU Republic is Euro¡¤Universe, and its name is quite domineering. More than a hundred years ago, they indeed fit the name of this country, and their territory covered the entire Europe, Africa and northern Asia. The man who laid the foundation for this country was the famous General Napoleon Bonaparte, the first ruler of the EU Republic.
It is a pity that the famous Napoleon was not so lucky. Just because of his dictatorial policy, he was guillotined by the people who insisted on democracy before he could become emperor.
Although Zeng Jin¡¯s Kamyu only made this comment: ¡°This is not scientific¡±. It¡¯s hard to imagine what kind of psychology the people had in beheading the hero they fanatically admired, but that¡¯s the fact. No matter how unscientific it is, you can only admit it by pinching your nose.
"Your demands are too high. I'm afraid you won't be able to bypass the National Defense Committee of Forty." The middle-aged man's expression showed a hint of exhaustion.
"That's why we have to rely on your influence in the military department, general." C.C nodded understandingly, "Please contact some powerful and prestigious companies as much as possible."
¡°You have strength and prestige¡±
The middle-aged man clasped his hands and fell into deep thought. Of course he understands the meaning behind this sentence, which is?Influential enough to have influence on the Central Council
"I understand." Finally, the middle-aged man put his hands down.
"This will take some time, and you also need to prepare some conditions that can attract them."
"This is natural."
At this moment, a girl in military uniform walked over.
"General Smailas." The girl stopped in front of the middle-aged man, and then solemnly performed a military salute.
"Leila, this is private time now, so it's better not to be addressed by military rank." The middle-aged man shrugged helplessly, and then stood up from his seat.
"Then, I'll take my leave first." This sentence was obviously meant for C.C.
"Leila, how many times have I told you that it is too rude to wear military uniform at such a party"
General Smelas¡¯ voice gradually faded away, but C.C still noticed that the girl was looking back at him.
"You are a very vigilant person. You won't be discovered, right?"
¡°I don¡¯t want to be told anything by someone who instructs me to negotiate with the old man while I go hang out with my fianc¨¦e.¡±
C.C¡¯s sudden words caused the hand that was pulling the chair next to her to freeze suddenly, and then the young man gave a helpless smile.
"I just came here from the other side of the world after negotiating. Please be considerate."
