1605 New Orders and Funerals
Anger is something that tends to increase the more you fight it.
Maybe at the beginning, no one thought about fighting to the end, but as they fought, they always felt that the other party had gone too far and had to return it.
Both sides have this idea, and no one can dissuade them.
The Pengeo Empire refused to admit that it had anything to do with the torpedo sinking of the Federation Shenhai. Their foreign minister not only refused to admit it, but also said that it was a show staged by the Federation.
He sank his own civilian passenger ship in order to tie all the freedom-loving and peace-loving federal people to the federal government's chariot, so as to achieve the goal of the federal president's dictatorship.
Anyway, making up stories has no cost to the international diplomacy on this matter. This kind of rumor, which would obviously cause antagonism between countries in normal times, came from the mouth of Foreign Minister Penjiao without any sense of obstruction.
The Federation no longer seeks recognition from them, as the Federation will return with vengeance.
At the same time, this is also good for Lynch.
Because there are not enough fighter jets.
"Now 15% of our aircraft are used on the Marillo battlefield. There are no large-scale wars there, but small-scale firefights occur every day."
"Considering to save troops and reduce casualties, fighter jets and bombers are dispatched more frequently..."
Marillo's situation is very special. With the military assistance of the Pengeo military group and subordinate countries, these resistance groups have more sophisticated weapons and stronger military capabilities.
They no longer regard "occupation" and "recapture" as the goals of military operations, but instead focus on "killing effective forces" as the goal of operations.
To put it simply, in the past they might have been thinking about taking back some areas from the hands of the federals, but now they are just thinking about how to kill more federals.
As for liberating areas or retaking areas, they are no longer the primary goal.
This is a headache.
In the past, their purpose was simple and single. As long as they defended and counterattacked around a certain area, they could hit these people hard.
But now they don't do that and only target federal people.
Patrols in groups of three to five or small teams of more than a dozen people have become their main targets. Mines, grenades, and black guns have become the most troublesome and terrifying things for federal soldiers.
Who knows if there are enemies hidden in a certain building, and no one knows when these people will pull the trigger, or throw a grenade, or even release a mortar shell.
Under this circumstance, in order to quickly respond to the battlefield of small-scale firefights and carry out clearing strikes against the enemy, small-scale military operations are now accompanied by fighter jets and bombers.
Once it is discovered that the enemy does not care about civilians, he will directly respond with air fire.
The Marillo people had great objections to this, but the commander-in-chief of the Marillo Theater said, "If you are civilians, why don't you report the whereabouts of these people to us" and "If you can get along harmoniously, just say you are a group." as a reason to refuse to give up the use of military weapons of mass destruction.
In other words, if anyone provides his house to these people, or allows these people to hide where they can see, or do something.
Then under the aerial fire strike, these civilians who provided a place are not counted as being accidentally killed. Sometimes no one can ensure that the bomber's bomb can stably land in a designated place.
If it accidentally bombs and destroys the entire area, it is definitely not the will of the federal people, these are just accidents!
This also led to civilians in Marillo becoming disgusted with the resistance organizations in some areas where fighting was most frequent.
This set of attacks carried out by the Federals without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy is really scary. No one wants to be killed by an accomplice who inexplicably provides convenient conditions and hiding places for the resistance organization.
The war correspondent used "There are no civilians in war" as the core content of an article to report on the cruelty of the frontline war.
There is even an interview with an officer named "Ryan", who shows off his healed wounds and talks about the many horrific attacks he suffered from seemingly civilian enemies.
Fortunately, Mariro's problem is only a minor problem, so fighter jets are not used much here.
The real big problem is in Nagalier. It is said that the air force over Nagalier has begun to compete with Pengeo's air force for air supremacy on a small scale.
The Federation's fighter jets are slightly ahead in terms of performance parameters, but Pengeo's fighter jets have a large number, often three or four, staring at the Federation's one aircraft.
This also exposed the problem of too few federal fighter jets.
The fight for air supremacy is very important. Without air supremacy, the navy cannot attack rashly, and the advancement of ground troops cannot be guaranteed.
The number of battle losses is increasing, and the federal military has decided to increase its control over the Eastern Ocean, using the airports and transfer stations established on various islands in the Midway Plan to conduct long-term military reconnaissance and monitoring of the entire Eastern Ocean.
Reconnaissance aircraft fly over the sea non-stop every day, detecting enemy movements and looking for submarines hidden under the sea.
If a military target is found that can be struck, bombers will be called to use torpedoes or depth charges specially made for submarines.
To form a tight military reconnaissance and strike network in the Eastern Ocean, this requires a lot of aircraft.
So overall, the federal aircraft are not enough now.
Moreover, Emperor Pengeo once said that at least 15,000 to 25,000 pilots and aircraft should be maintained in service. This number has put great pressure on the Federation.
At present, the federal air force, navy and army aircraft combined have less than 8,000 aircraft that can be used for war.
So the military gave Lynch another big order, hoping that he could deliver the product to the military as soon as possible for use in frontline wars.
This is why the military-industrial complex is always keen on war!
As soon as the Department of Defense order was disclosed, Blackstone Aviation's stock price surged again.
The share price of Lanying Airlines has also increased to a certain extent, and I heard that the Ministry of National Defense has also given them a lot of orders.
Lanying temporarily gave up the competition with Blackstone Aviation in the fighter field and turned to the development of large bombers and transport aircraft. They still have some technological accumulation in this area.
After all, the people who formed Lanying were all established military-industrial groups and had a lot of technical expertise in the research of high-power engines and certain mechanizations.
The military also ordered some troop transport ships from them. They were too slow. They planned to use aircraft to transport people.
If the stability of the aircraft flight can be ensured, this will greatly shorten the distance between the federal mainland and Nagaril, and can also strengthen the control of Nagaril.
The morning after signing the order, Lynch and Serra took a car together to the cemetery in Bupen, where there was a church.
Most people are buried in cemeteries when they die, and graves here are not cheap.
For example, in some places with better terrain, such as higher ground and more sunshine, a single tomb will cost more than 10,000 yuan.
If you are not looking for a better place, there are some relatively remote tombs that are cheaper, two to three hundred is enough!
Of course, the company responsible for managing the cemetery will also provide some paid services, such as cleaning up fallen leaves.
You don't have to pay, then no one will take the initiative to clean the cemetery, and the weeds won't be trimmed.
However, this fee is not expensive, only ten dollars per year.
Ten dollars may seem like a small amount, but if you know that all the cemeteries in Boupen cost hundreds of thousands, you might understand that this is a big fucking business!
When Lynch and Sierra got out of the car, many people had already arrived at the church.
Lynch didn't recognize many of them, but Serra did.
She greeted Lynch with brief greetings to the men, most of whom were Nell's former colleagues.
After Nel developed, he once had the idea of taking care of these people, but later he also realized his naivety, and Lynch helped them solve a problem. Now these people live in Lynch's house and still live every day. Monthly high loan interest.
They will not be grateful to Nel for this, and certainly not grateful to Lynch. They may even feel that the father and son are really not the same thing.
But it's a pity that this kind of thought can only be buried in my heart and cannot be expressed.
After the news of Nel's death spread this time, these people suddenly didn't hate Nel so much, but felt a little melancholy.
In addition to these people, there are relatives of Nell, and in fact, relatives of Lynch.
Some of them are Nell's siblings, and some of them are Serra's siblings.
When a rich man dies, the number of people waiting to attend the funeral can fill the church beyond its capacity.
When a poor person dies, he can find something to roll up and throw it into the wild, and no one will know about it.
They are all annoying relatives.
The funeral was held on time, and after the pastor who presided over it briefly went through the process, it was time for a few "representatives" to go up and say goodbye to Nell in a short composition.
Sometimes this approach seems strange, but the people of the Federation are all emotional, and they like to be moved by themselves. If they can shed a few tears, that would be even better.
The first person to go up was Nell's colleague. He talked about everything that happened when he and Nell worked together before. This was the only content he could find related to Nell.
Lynch noted that he referred to some of Nel's fantasies during his time as a laborer
For example, when we get rich, we need to provide more easy and high-paying jobs for our workers.
For example, Nell imagined that in the future she would become a builder or developer and would give them some houses or waive their loans...
If there is anyone in this world who is abnormal, it must be the Nell that this co-worker talks about, not the Nell whose body was not found.
Because if that Nell could predict what would happen in the future, he would definitely not get on that damn ship!
