Section 1259: The Transformation of Argentina
The guesses of these peripheral soldiers were not wrong. What they did hear was the sound of heavy artillery. In the past, the Second Army hid its heavy artillery regiments, but at this time they have all been taken out. More than a dozen 155mm howitzers, with a rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute, immediately engulfed the entire position in a sea of flames. Most of the people were already in a desperate situation at this time, and there were more than 10,000 people in less than ten minutes. Even the people in the urban area who have been messed up by the plane all night now know what is going on. It seems that the most fatal time has come now, and the enemy has already started the main attack.
"Damn, what's going on here? Didn't the above explain that this was a tentative attack? Why did so many shells be used? I think there are at least 25,000 rounds. Our entire forward position is about to be hit. Repeatedly, where is our heavy artillery regiment? Why didn't they fire back? Isn't this a good way to determine the enemy's artillery positions? I don't think the enemy's giant artillery has moved at all." A division commander read Take a look at your own headquarters, if nothing else, just look at yourself and you will know what the situation is like. Most people can't find Bei at this time, and more than 70 staff officers on duty in the headquarters are now There are less than twenty of them, and the rest are either dead or running without a trace. If you continue to persist in this situation, you will be asking for a dead end. Originally, the teacher was going to leave, but now there is a lot of gunfire outside. It’s much safer to go out than to stay in this bunker. Even if the enemy attacks, at most he will be a prisoner. I can become this division commander because I have been a prisoner twice. Come on, I'm already dead.
"Master, it seems that there is a problem with our intelligence. Do you see that the enemy's offensive has something to do with a feint attack? The enemy is throwing shells so desperately. It seems that we have done something terrible. I remember A fellow of mine said that it seemed that it was because the little girl Pimeng'er was forced to go to the Black Forest." A staff officer was very close to the division commander, and this boy also understood that when the war started, it was always the officials who followed him. There will be a little life, if I leave the official and run away, I guess the one who will die the fastest will be me.
"This damned Jiakun, what's wrong with you? You insist on provoking that little girl. I guess the new boss over there has feelings for Pimeng'er, otherwise he wouldn't attack us with such an old book." The teacher spit out a mouthful, although Jiakun treated him well before, but this guy is dead now, so he doesn't need to have any respect for this guy, besides, he can't save his life now, if If I don't take the opportunity to scold this guy a few words, I may never have a chance in my life.
"Master, General Dillon is here with four military police regiments. He said that hundreds of rout soldiers have been shot and killed on the way. If we have anything here, I'm afraid of that guy???" A staff officer hurried away Come in and say, looking at the mess in the headquarters, you can definitely imagine what will happen when the general arrives later. The division commander also understands what he said. If you want to save your life at this moment, you can only rely on yourself The gun in his hand is obviously very similar to those previous wars. The army on the front line is already disorganized. Under such circumstances, the general who supervises the battle will usually choose an unorganized army to stand up.
The so-called Liwei is to kill the soldiers and officers in this system. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the southern army. Jiakun started this thing back then, but now his younger brother has not learned anything else. Look at it. Come on, this thing is deeply inherited from him, but does the teacher really stick out his neck like this for you to kill?
"Huh, I want to use Lao Tzu to stand out. I see that he still lacks a pair of good teeth, so I call all of us who can fight. Do you still remember the time when Jiakun led people to attack the four strongholds of others?" Let’s just say that when we retreated back then, leaving the broken army was the surrender of the whole army. Now people’s life must be nourished by us people. Now I let everyone choose the same. If we can get rid of Dillon in a while Catch it and send it to the opposite side, not to mention whether we can survive in the future, just this is a big credit." This teacher is also a character, and he will know what to do after a while. These staff officers under his command If they have feelings, at most they have a little relationship with the boss Jiakun. As for Di Lung who came back from abroad, they don't have any feelings for them. This guy is just a lucky person at most.
"Okay, I'm going to greet my brothers now." All the people are in one movement, checking their weapons. At this time, everyone knows that it's time to go all out. I'm working so hard for you in the outlying fortifications. In the city, but at the end of the day, let's see what you have picked up? Now you want to shoot us, we are not defenseless, do you think your life will make us easier? All of them had hideous expressions on their faces, wishing they could just go there and kill the men from the headquarters first.
Looking at No. 10, most of the people under him are already so suffocated that they can’t find Bei. At the moment, everyone is chatting outside No. 10’s car, and they don’t know what happened to this army commander. Is it true that this arms city does not need money? From the morning to now, a total of 40,000 rounds of shells have gone out. You must know that although their own military factories are relatively cheap to produce, each round still costs nearly several thousand yuan. Renminbi, with such a game, you will go bankrupt in a short while. This is not a trivial matter, and the most important thing is that the army commander has no intention of letting his brothers rush out, and he keeps urging the transport team to transport here. Cannonballs, it is said that nearly 20,000 rounds of shells came over there. If all of them were fired, wouldn’t Mandalay look like a dead city?
"Commander, you old man drinks water. This is the authentic Longjing. I treasure it and never drink it. You see, the artillery has been prepared for such a long time. I guess the enemies in the city will have to turn into rats." It’s the same, I didn’t do it at all, why don’t I take the people from the third division in to have a look? Maybe I can catch some tongues for the commander.” A fat guy with a big ear brought a cup of tea to No. 10 He said, his forehead is full of sweat at the moment, what is the matter with this army commander, he asked for a pack of health cigarettes when he came, and at that time he agreed to let his division take the main attack, how did he get to the battlefield I just let myself order to rest where I am now. Is this the time to rest? My boys are all suffocating. Most of them want to wipe out the Southern Army directly. Having received the favor of the Pi family, how can the miss rest now that her life or death is uncertain? Naturally, she wants to go up and kill a few southern soldiers to vent her anger, but with a word from the army commander, everyone closed their eyes and rested their minds. , I was also told by the brothers below that I was useless in the division, and I couldn’t finish a main offensive task. I told my brothers how strong my relationship with the commander was. No one will believe it in the future. , not for anything else, just for this, the teacher of the third division has been here for a long time.
"I'm talking about Fatty Three, you're a smoker and a Dragon Well man. I really can't see that your net worth has increased recently. I don't even have such good tea. To be honest, what's wrong with you? You got it, didn’t you run out and take your people to rob the house?” No. 10 drank a cup of Kung Fu tea with great enjoyment, although he couldn’t taste the good taste, but the fragrance was also very good.
"How is it possible, Commander, it's not easy for you to talk nonsense about this. There may be something wrong with my third fat man, but this robbery will never happen. You don't know what I do. Well, this is actually given to me by one of my subordinates. I have never been willing to drink it. Look at me, I am full of fat. If I take off this army commander, I will be a pork seller. How can I be worthy of this? Well, I can actually be a pawn for the army commander or something. For example, at this time, if you don’t hand over such dangerous things on the front line, who will you hand over to me? Even if others go up, don’t worry, no, you I also know that our three divisions are the bosses of many martial arts competitions, and the other divisions simply don’t want to fight with us.” The three fat people said flatteringly, this time he was determined, and the main task of the attack was his own. It must be handed down, otherwise, I will have no face to go back.
"Look at what you can do, you kid, you won't be cooking without your scallions. I know you kid can make troubles, and you are unambiguous in wars, but the Southern Army has been operating in Mandalay for a long time. , and on the way, you can also see that the southern army here is a little different from other places. People here generally have very advanced weapons. If you rashly let your three divisions go up, the casualties will be great. Not only will it not be effective, but if your trump card army fails, it will cause a great blow to the morale of the entire army." Although No. 10 drank this guy's tea and sucked this guy's Smoke, but for other things, it is absolutely not letting go. This kind of thing cannot be dismissed with a small favor. This is a major military issue that requires many times of consideration. Thousands of casualties.
"Commander, didn't you teach us that weapons are only one level of victory in war, and there are other places. Although the weapons of the Southern Army are considered good in the whole of Myanmar, but look at their fighting spirit, they are the same as ours. Is it on the same level? When I came over from the road, I saw that our army had hundreds of captives before it entered. These people would all run to our gate to surrender themselves. I still believe that such an army It’s the first time I saw it. Although there will be some casualties when we go in, how can there be no casualties in the war? As for the failure of our third division, I have never thought about it. I also know that the army is defeated, but what if If the soldiers don't have any arrogance, they will have no morale in the eyes of others." Thirty Zhang is obviously not satisfied with the commander's explanation, even if the people in this city are very powerful, they have already been bombed. It has been nearly an hour, and thousands of tons of shells have gone in. What kind of soldiers can there be? Even if there is, it must look like there is no organizational system. Such skirmishers without a unified command are like ants to their third division.
"You don't need to waste your words on this matter. Anyway, as long as we have enough shells, I won't risk the lives of the soldiers. Let's wait until the newly shipped 20,000 shells are fired. Let's talk about it. I will only stop if all the rats in the underground of Mandalay come out. As for the three masters, it is understandable that you have a strong desire to fight. No, as a reward for you, we will have braised pork for lunch today. Let the brothers open their stomachs and eat hard, we are still rich." No. 10 didn't say anything about when to attack, and even brought up a question of braised pork. The third division commander also knew about No. 10's temper. So I went out depressed, but I didn't come in vain this time, at least I got a meal of braised pork for my subordinates.
In fact, No. 10 made this decision for a reason, and it wasn't just talking indiscriminately. When No. 10 was working with the periphery of Mandalay just now, he didn't know what to do. If he used the body of a soldier to do hard work here If so, at least tens of thousands of soldiers would be injured, and now the most lacking thing on my side is soldiers. If it weren't for the 100,000 soldiers from the First Army who entered the Black Forest, I wouldn't be so stretched, but this is the reality now Due to the situation, I couldn't allow myself to have more losses, so I contacted Li Cong and shipped all the tens of thousands of shells in the warehouse. The casualties of the soldiers are a little less, and a few thousand people should be able to break through the peripheral fortifications.
Speaking of the problem of shells, although the arsenal of the old battalion is already running at full capacity, the consumption on the front line is really too high. The maximum output here is only 1,000 rounds a day, and it has been stored for more than a month. The round of attack was defeated, so Li Cong could only turn to General Qiao on the border. General Qiao Zhenbang still had a lot of face, and without a word, he got 20,000 shells for Li Cong. It’s on the military ranks that came over, but this thing was not given to Li Cong for free. Li Cong also paid the money and shipped a hundred boxes of healthy cigarettes. He also promised that healthy cigarettes will be limited in other places in the future. For the border The 27th Army in the region sold unlimited quantities at a 20% discount, and Li Cong did not expect that cigarettes would be so useful sometimes.
"Commander, our spies in the front have sent a message. It seems that something happened on the opposite side. They started fighting themselves. We don't know the specific situation very well. It should be the newly appointed general of the Southern Army, General Dillon. People are going to kill a division commander and his staff, and then the division commander is not very obedient, and a fight broke out in two strokes, and the casualties may still be not small." A staff officer received the latest information and hurriedly brought it to No. 10. This There is nothing better than this time.
"Hehe, there is a saying that is true. Fortresses are breached from the inside. We are still thinking about how to break through such a hard outer fortification. We didn't expect such a thing to happen on the enemy's side. Let our people continue to investigate , I want to know how to solve this matter in the end, whether they are all dead, or one party lost, but ask our ān spies to spread this rumor, saying that the people above them will punish all defenseless Soldiers and officers, and let our air force honestly drop leaflets after this bomb is finished, sometimes these things are more useful than bombs." Tenth thought for a while and said, this incident should cause The shock wasn't too great, but as long as there is something wrong with you at this time, you will know the consequences of this incident in the future. In fact, even Number Ten himself didn't expect the war to be like this. He thought it would be easy to win. When you go down to Mandalay, you can look at the peripheral fortifications, it is really not a very easy bone to chew.
Li Jianzhang’s residence in Mandalay City
Now Mr. Li's face is no longer as calm as it used to be. In the past, no matter what happened, he could face it calmly, but this time there was a trace of panic on this guy's face. Although no one else saw it, Wang Yu still saw it. In the past, she wondered as if this person would not be messed up, but now it seems that he is also a person, and when he encounters things that are difficult for him to solve, he is also He will react like ordinary people. The problem Li Jianzhang encounters now is whether Mandalay can be held. If not, how should he retreat? Just now, the people below have come to report that the airport area has been hit by heavy artillery. The heavy bombing of the regiment, at this time, it is no longer possible to take off and land the plane. When I was in Yangon, I could escape through some other channels, but now it is completely different from before. Mandalay is an inland If you can't leave the city by plane, it's unimaginable to go by car. Sitting here may be the timing ruler of the Southern Army, and no one will come to trouble you, but if you get on the car, you will definitely There will be people from Pimeng'er chasing him, but will the numerous warlords in front of him really let him go? For a person who has lost power, these warlords will not soften their hearts.
"Mr. Li, news came from the front that General Dillon is no longer able to command." A staff officer said in a low voice. He was shot twice, and the bullets got stuck in the bones when he was transported back. Even though there are several doctors in Mandalay, the medical skills are general. This commander who has been in office for less than two days seems to be dying. On the operating table.
"Trash, if you can't do this little thing well, what use will it be in the future? What are you doing alive without the ability to command?" Li Jianzhang cursed in a low voice. In fact, at this time, he was somewhat suspicious and felt that Jiakun was actually alive. It's better, although Jiakun failed to do things like his younger brother, but one thing is certain, that is, when this guy Jiakun was alive, he was not in such a dangerous situation. It was really a mistake to kill Jiakun.
"Now is not the time to talk about these things. There are not many tens of thousands of troops in the outlying fortifications that can fight now. This sea is just the enemy's artillery preparation. When the enemy attacks, I don't think these people will stay. Those who are waiting to die there, we must have a new plan, such as leaving here." Wang Yu said to Li Jianzhang in a low voice, although she felt a little down on Li Jianzhang's panic in her heart, but she was also human. I also clearly know that the most important thing at this time is how to get out of here. Mandalay must not be able to bear it. There is no chance to retreat, but if you retreat now, what about the things you searched in Myanmar? Myanmar's gold reserves are very rich, and the folks in Myanmar also have a lot of gold. After such a long search, there are hundreds of tons of gold in Mandalay and tens of thousands of tons of emerald rough. Now these things They are all still here. If they really leave like this, they probably won’t be able to take these things with them. At this time, Li Jianzhang really regrets not transporting these things back to the headquarters in advance. It would be cheaper if they were transported back to the headquarters. It would be much better for those people to be cheaper than Li Cong. Now it means that they have done nothing in Myanmar, and finally gave everything to Li Cong.
Li Jianzhang looked up at Wang Yu. This woman had lost her usual composure. Although she still looked the same, she was still a woman after all. He would still be afraid to hear such a violent artillery sound.
"Order the First Corps to carry their weapons and ammunition and prepare to retreat. All other troops will withdraw from Mandalay one by one. Take away everything that can be taken away, and blow up those that cannot be taken away." Li Jianzhang finally thought of those gold and emerald stones. I am so determined, if I bring those things with me, I think the Burmese warlords who will make up their own minds will definitely not have only a few people, or stay here and blow up the acid, so that everyone will not get it, maybe it is It's the best ending.
Wang Yu is also very satisfied with Li Jianzhang's decision. In fact, she is afraid that this person will not be able to withstand such a blow, and will eventually fight to the death with Li Cong's people. If that is the case, I am afraid that I have to prepare in advance. , even if I leave Li Jianzhang in the future, Hai will have a bright future. I can't put everything I have in this place in Myanmar. This is not the place I need at all. It's better to stay at the headquarters to make suggestions. One point, after the war in Mandalay, Wang Yu finally knew where he should go. In the future, he would never come to such an adventurous place. He would stay in a safer place. I will despise those who are afraid of death, but now I seem to have that feeling too. People are the same animals, and they will be afraid in the end.
Chinese Association Headquarters in a city in inland China
The president and vice president of the Chinese Association are also looking at the secret report from Myanmar. Both of them have no expression on their faces. If someone walks by, they may feel that they owe money to these two old guys. Yes, one face must be ugly, and what they have to face at this moment is at least a loss of more than 500 billion yuan. It has been more than a year since Li Jianzhang started operating Myanmar, and his organization has gained a few dollars in Myanmar. Tens of billions of RMB, but the investment is ten times that amount, which can't help but make these two guys feel cold. The current Chinese Association is no longer the previous Chinese Association, and now the annual total income of the Chinese Association is less than 5,000. 100 million yuan, and the expenditure is basically this figure. If it continues like this, how will the Chinese Association grow in the future? Is this the limit of the Chinese Association? This is absolutely impossible. In the past, the Chinese Society was able to fight against a dynasty, but now? Even a group can bully the organization like this.
"President, let him get over the past. Our organization has lost a lot, and even the Li family has lost a lot. We should not hold Li Jianzhang accountable. After all, he has no evil intentions. And this time Wang Yu is still inside, if it is punished, there is no reason to punish Li Jianzhang for keeping Wang Yu." The vice president thought about it and said this, although he is from Wang Yu's grandfather's generation, but He absolutely didn't mean to cover up Wang Yu when he said this. He knew very well that Wang Yu is actually one of the few people in the next generation who can talk to the energy group. The future of the Chinese Association is also very useful. If there is no one, no one will be able to go to ask for peace.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too. This time it's a fiasco for us. Let's call these two children back. Can our forces in Myanmar send them back?" The power of the group has already collapsed, and even the people from the investigation department of the energy group found some clues about the branch of the Chinese Association in Thailand. If it hadn't been transferred quickly, those people would have died long ago and couldn't die anymore. , Maybe it is possible to expose the headquarters of the Chinese Association.
"If we just bring them back, there will be no problem, but everything we have in Myanmar, and even our industries in South Asia, may suffer, but we are also prepared for this. The Americans have given us several This is the news, I hope we can open the whole of South Asia to the Americans, their goal is still the original goal, to open up their own territory in Asia." The vice president said, Skull and Bones was completely driven away by the power of the energy group Out of Asia, there are still a few military bases in China, but with the participation of energy groups, the call for the withdrawal of the US military bases in Japan is getting louder and louder, and even the slogan of several prime minister candidates is It is necessary to preserve the integrity of the whole, and some of the mainstream media are now talking about some issues of goodwill between Japan and China. From ancient times to the present, it seems that China has always been a good neighbor.
"The energy group is a fierce tiger, we can't deal with it, but the Americans are not a good thing. We also suffered a lot from them back then. Forget it, now is not the time for us to fight for hegemony. Let us Let's fight for them. Since we want to let us go, let us do it thoroughly, and ask our people to keep only a few important places, and leave the rest to the Americans. But the conditions must be wider, at least let All of our losses in Myanmar will come back, and if the Americans don’t pay the price, we’ll just spend it with the energy group.” The president seemed to have aged a lot for a moment, and he didn’t have so much ambition at this time. Some of them are just some emotions, why can’t I lead the Chinese to be brilliant? In the past, the Chinese Association could be regarded as a reluctant first-rate force, but now it has completely become a second-rate force. If according to the current situation If it continues to develop, it is estimated that second-rate forces are also a luxury.
"President, don't think too much about these things. Our organization still needs you very much. Now Li Jianzhang and Zheng Tan are still a little immature. Even if you want to hand them over to them, you still need to continue to stand guard. If your body is so broken now, how can the two of them take on this important task." The vice president is also in tears at the moment, thinking that the two of them were fighting for the position of president back then, and the fight was bloody Yes, but after decades of getting along with each other, this seat is actually nothing. Whoever does it will break his heart. The vice president actually has some luck in his heart. I must be one or two years younger than myself, but if I ask anyone to come over and take a look, they will say that he is much older than me. I think that if I didn't lose a little back then, if I was in this position, Maybe the person who feels uncomfortable is yourself. At this age, some problems can be seen clearly. Some things are very important to look at, but after a long time, it is just one thing. What people need most is themselves. The body is healthy, the age difference between the two people is not very big, and my body is very good, but the president in front of me seems to have been drained, and there is no life at all. In just a few decades, the president In his eyes, it's a lifetime, and he won't be able to exist for long in the future, but he doesn't care about his body at all, all he cares about is this organization, this organization that makes him proud.
Skull and Bones Headquarters
Now, just like the Chinese Association, the Skull and Bones Association is also worried. Although the Chinese Association has received news not long ago, they can use the power of the Chinese Association to go to Asia. Asia has always been a place for Americans. It is a very important place. I have been operating in Asia for nearly several decades after the end of World War II. I thought that my Asia-Pacific defense line was very strong. It was completely overthrown in ten years.
"How did this Li Er know the news that we are going to Asia? Could it be that there is something inside us?" President Anderson's face was ugly. The Chinese Association just notified the news, and Li Er knew it. And I also want to come to pay respects to the bosses of the Skull and Bones Society. This kid is like a loach, very cunning, how could he come to pay respects to these old men? There must be nothing good, so Anderson brought together several other giants.
"Hmph, now the power of the energy group in the United States is also growing. Although we continue to suppress, some things are very popular in the United States, just like the new Great Wall red wine and healthy cigarettes. Even if we don't If you want to pick it up, someone will always do it. The money is still not as good as what we earn. If they earn more money, naturally many people will work hard for them, and what we Americans envelop is freedom. How the citizens choose is their own business, and this Li Er has taken advantage of this, and has built a not-so-weak information network in the past year, and it is very easy to know the information." Mr. Dawson He said disapprovingly that the life of the organization has become more and more difficult recently. Of course, those small things are not enough to cause headaches for big bosses like them. The most terrible thing is that the energy group has begun to participate in American politics. The three people they control have already They were successfully elected as senators. If they continue at this speed, they will probably be able to control half of the Senate in less than a few years. At that time, there may be a third political party in the United States, and the two-party system may eventually end in on this child.
"I can only say that Li Er is a very difficult opponent. He is willing to spend money and everything. His life is much better than ours. Our United States has always been a money-oriented society. The economy of energy groups But they are much stronger than us. In the past, there was no organization similar to ours, so we could control the entire Americas with very little money, but now the energy group's gold dollar policy directly kills them. , like the new Prime Minister of Argentina, he is already preparing to introduce a new regulation, requiring the Argentine energy department to negotiate directly with energy groups and stop importing environmentally friendly oil from us. If this bill is passed, we will See, we lose hundreds of billions of dollars every year." Mr. Nate also said that there is no joy in the entire conference room now, how good their life was in the past, and the world can be decided by talking and laughing There are many things that the Argentine prime minister dared to say before? Immediately, there were more than a dozen scandals on this guy's head, and he would be able to step down in a few days, but can they still do that now? It is simply impossible. The power of this prime minister has already taken over some news organizations in Argentina. Of course, he himself does not have billions of dollars to manage such a huge news empire, but the energy group has it, and Li Er is out. Five billion U.S. dollars was spent to cooperate with the prime minister, and then the entire Argentine media was controlled by the prime minister and the energy group.
"The matter in Argentina is indeed a tricky matter. We must definitely teach this daring guy a lesson in this matter, and let the leaders of all Latin American countries see what the result of offending our Skull and Bones will be. These people It's really too bold, dare to do such a thing under our noses, don't we people in Argentina do something?" Anderson heard of this for the first time, and he always thought that Li Er was also in America. It's just doing things that make me angry but harmless to the overall situation, but I didn't expect this kid to be so courageous, and he has already started to interfere with his own income, which is more than 100 billion U.S. dollars per year, which is definitely not a small amount for Skull and Bones. If this project can be negotiated, the remaining small countries will also negotiate with the energy group in person. By then, their income will not only decrease by more than 100 billion US dollars every year, even trillions of US dollars will definitely be worth it. possible.
"It's not that our people in Argentina have done nothing, but this guy directly told the people about this on the prime minister's balcony, saying that after directly signing a contract with the energy group, the energy price in Argentina can be reduced by 10%. Fifth, those ordinary people are supporting it. If the Argentine parliament stops this, those members of parliament will probably lose in the next election. It is not good news for us. We have trained so many A congressman." An interviewer came here to introduce the affairs of Argentina, and now he heard the boss asked about this matter and hurriedly stood up and said.
"President, my lords, Mr. Li Er has already arrived outside the door, do you want to invite him in?" Just when several people were about to say something, Li Er was already outside the door.
Desen is still the person with the most right to speak here, and he is naturally the one who said the matter of inviting Li Er.
"Hehe, grandpas, you are really in the mood. You don't go out for a walk on such a sunny day, but you actually want to have a meeting in the house. When I came, I thought you would receive me on the South Lawn. How could you be in such a room?" It's in the dark meeting room." Li Er looked at the surrounding conditions and said cheerfully, it's not too much to call them grandpa, their ages are there. ! .
