1732 Counterattack and Detection
What is the concept of owning 7.5% of the shares of the United Development Company?
According to the current market value of United Development Company, its market value has been cut in half due to the impact of the war, but even so, its market value still exceeds 10 billion!
And with the continuous victories of the federal army in Nagaril, the market value of the United Development Company is still recovering!
The shares in Drago's hands alone can be sold for more than 10 million.
Of course, according to the fact that Federal Capital attaches sufficient importance to the importance of company equity, it is not easy to trade most of the company shares with such huge market value.
But no matter what, the value of Drago’s shares alone exceeds the wealth owned by the high priest!
Coupled with his other wealth, annual dividends, and various income, his property may be between 15 million and 25 million!
He is actually anxious now. His anxiety is whether his children will be able to keep these properties if he dies!
The demise of the Duncan family made Drago realize that even if the Federation is a law-based society, people still have no absolute safety.
When someone needs you and an accident happens, even if you are standing on the edge of the busiest intersection in Bupen, you may be drowned, and it will still be an accidental drowning incident. Everyone present can prove this!
He was worried that after his death, the capitalists in the Federation might plunder all his wealth. This was the last thing he could accept.
He betrayed his country and his people and came to the Federation. He didn't let his children come to atone for his sins!
What he needs is that his children can thrive in this land, and finally return to Nagaril in another way and become the ruling class there again!
This is also the reason why his shares have not been sold until now. As long as he holds the shares, he still has some hope, and his children still have some hope!
However, his thoughts have changed recently. His children are obviously not the material, and their children may not be either.
What he needs is to find a stable heir for his family and himself, a heir in every sense of the word!
The high priest's method gave him some inspiration, and he decided to talk to Lynch about the family fund when he had time.
He can hand over the shares of the United Development Company to Lynch for operation. If he thinks about it, Lynch will not refuse, even if it is only 7.50%!
The weather is getting colder and the wind in the cemetery is getting stronger.
After Drago and Lynch stood in front of the high priest's tombstone for a while, they agreed on a time to meet next time and then left.
Lynch can understand Drago's idea, but he also believes that Drago's idea will never be realized!
Because the culture of the Federation is extremely permeable, whether it is hard stone or steel, it can penetrate it!
When the rubbish TV series starts every night at nine o'clock, it doesn't matter whether you are a family member of the former Nagali ruler or a descendant of an important leader in the religious world.
They would sit on the sofa honestly, holding some cheap or not cheap food in their hands, laughing at the plot on TV, and eating what they were holding!
At this time, they don't care about those great ideals, all they want is now!
In November, the weather became colder and colder, and it gradually affected the Amelia region. Obviously, the number of participants on the entire battlefield was many times greater than before, but the fighting was not as fierce.
It can’t even compare to last month!
It was as if the Pengeo people finally realized that the iron barrel defense line was an unbreakable line of defense, and completely gave up the idea of attacking.
Except for the normal daily flying of planes flying back and forth over the battlefield and then going back, the battlefield suddenly became quiet.
It was so quiet that some people had the illusion that the war was over!
Behind the iron barrel defense line, several Gaevra soldiers were packing their things, their faces full of joyful smiles!
Of course, their expressions like this are definitely not because the Chinese New Year is coming in a month. They are happy because the military headquarters just issued the final order to prepare for a full retreat!
After about forty to fifty days of construction, relatively simple defenses have been constructed in the western mountains of Amelia.
It's really easy to build fortifications in dangerous places, and they don't even need to do much work!
For example, building some turrets on some steep hills, or building some bunkers on some not-so-wide mountain roads. This kind of work requires a small amount of work and the work speed is also fast!
Now most of the fortifications for defense outside the mountain have been completed and can accommodate the entry of a large number of garrisons.
The great thing about using mountains for defense is that it's easy to defend.
There is no way for the attackers to easily deal with the enemies in the mountains, let alone the issue of whether their fighter jets can gain air superiority.
Without armored vehicles, tanks, or these mechanized armies, it would be a joke to start a war with the Gevra people who have various fortifications in the mountains!
On the contrary, it is the defenders, bunkers, machine guns, artillery, aircraft...
When everything was ready, His Excellency the Prime Minister gave the order to retreat.
In fact, before this, that is, the day before, there were still people talking about whether it was necessary to retreat.
Judging from the current situation on the battlefield, after launching a high-intensity attack for more than a month, the Pentjeos still have not been able to tear apart the Iron Barrel defense line. This also proves the strength of the Iron Barrel defense line!
The reverse question is the same. If they retreat, will they still be able to tear apart the defense line that originally protected them but will later protect the Penteo people?
This question made some people think about it for a long time, even though from the first second the question was raised, they knew that Gaevra's current situation couldn't be done!
Once the iron barrel defense line was left intact to the Penteo people, there was no possibility of recapturing the defense line.
But they had to abandon their defense line because this was the Prime Minister's order!
In fact, the Secretary of the Army supports the Prime Minister in doing so. The Army believes that the current combat intensity on the battlefield has been reduced to the limit not because the Pengeo people cannot break through the defense line.
Instead, they are gathering more strength and intend to completely tear apart the defense line at once!
This gave the Minister of War a deep sense of fear, and even some generals on the front line felt this way!
People and animals will have an omen before facing death. They always feel that once the next charge horn sounds, it will be the moment when the iron barrel defense line is completely defeated!
Fortunately, the Prime Minister withstood the pressure and issued the order for a large-scale retreat.
This order was also intercepted by the Pengeo Amelia Theater Headquarters.
In order to be alert that Pengeo might have accessed their radio frequency, the Prime Minister used telephone communication, but it was still intercepted.
During the war, some people were able to sacrifice for the country, the nation, and righteousness.
But there are also people who can betray anyone, including themselves, for money or anything else, such as the hope of survival!
When the news was sent to Pengeo's headquarters, they felt it was a bit incredible, because their heavy attack some time ago had allowed them to see the slightly tougher side of Gaevra's army.
In addition to the federal people, there are also many Gefra people. They did not treat them directly and passively like in the past. Instead, they fought a beautiful offensive and defensive battle for a long time.
The plan of the general headquarters to tear apart the defense failed.
So when the commander-in-chief of Pengeo Amelia Theater saw the intelligence in his hand, his first reaction was that it was impossible!
If we really want to withdraw, why did we resist so hard some time ago?
But he felt that he had to believe this information. Maybe it was true?
So he immediately arranged to launch another attack on a section of the Iron Barrel Defense Line.
If the intelligence is false, then he will definitely face a fierce counterattack from the Gefra people.
But if the intelligence is true..., they can immediately tear apart the defense line and hunt down the troops who may be evacuating!
This is the most basic military quality of a commander. Just when he asked his adjutant to mobilize the troops, the adjutant came over on his own initiative and brought some news from the front line.
"General, the enemies on the fourth line have moved out to attack..."
In order to distinguish the long iron barrel defense line, the Pengeo people cut it into seven line segments from south to north, and each line segment had a dedicated army.
When General Pengeo heard that the Gefra people had taken the initiative, his first reaction was that the intelligence might be wrong or false.
But in the next second, he suddenly realized that the Gefra people, who had never attacked before, suddenly attacked. What was their purpose?
Counterattack?
Obviously impossible!
Now they have more than 2.2 million troops assembled in the Amelia region. The reason why they have not launched the final general offensive is purely because the transportation of materials for so many people is troublesome.
You can't let people go into a general attack with only a basic amount of ammunition, right?
That's not fighting, that's letting soldiers go out and die!
No later than the end of the month, they will launch a full-scale attack, directly destroy the defense line, and then drive the Gefra people out!
The Gefra people also knew these things.
Just as they were obtaining information about Gaevra, Gaevra also had spies lurking on Pengeo's side. They were also intercepting each other's radio messages, and Pengeo did not try to hide the information.
Therefore, when the Gefra people dare to take the initiative to counterattack when they know that Pengeo's army has assembled more than two million people, then it must not be a counterattack!
They relied on defense fortifications to barely compete with the Pengeo Empire. Why should they take the initiative?
Why?
So if they attack now, it must not be a counterattack, they are trying to create an illusion!
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Gefra Front who made such a decision did not know that the person opposite already knew the truth!
