Chapter 690 Preparation for Attack

As soon as Wang Zhong got off the plane, he saw reporter Mike and his partner, leading two other white people who were unfamiliar to him.

“Mike, I was wondering why you were not present at the Barras Conference, which is destined to go down in history.” Wang Zhong teased Mike who came up to him.

Mike smiled bitterly: "Of course it's because the real big reporters want this credit, so I can only give way obediently."

Wang Zhong: "I thought you were the trump card of your newspaper."

"In terms of the ability to catch news, I am. But I don't have a governor father-in-law, so I can only give it to that person, the one who interviewed you. I read his report, which is not to the point and not inflammatory. Such things will even affect the sale of war bonds if they are published on the headlines. But he has a governor father-in-law, so he can do whatever he wants."

Wang Zhong: "Is the United States like this now?"

Reporter Mike shrugged: "It has always been like this. So do an exclusive interview? Make an appointment before you go back to the front line?"

Wang Zhong: "I thought you came here for the exclusive interview."

"Unfortunately not, I came here to introduce these two people, they are reporters of our opponents. You may not know what this means. We have two main ones in the United States-"

Wang Zhong: "I understand."

As for the battle between the donkey and the elephant, Wang Zhong has been watching the US election with the mentality of watching variety shows since Wang Dong started running for the election. He still has this basic common sense.

Mike: "You may be wondering why I would introduce a rival reporter. The thing is, I owed him a favor before, and now I'm paying him back, so I won't participate in your car interviews in the future."

Car interviews refer to interviews conducted in a car while the car is moving, a bit like the conversation with the fat middleman in the car at the beginning of "Cyberpunk 2077".

Lyudmila whispered in Wang Zhong's ear: "I'm going to take a car with Olga."

"Yeah."

Wang Zhong just nodded, and Mike "enthusiastically" introduced: "This is our rival reporter Wallace."

"Oh, you are that Wallace, really tall." Wang Zhong shook the other person's hand.

Wallace: "I have always wanted to do an interview with you. Our readers are very interested in how you achieved such brilliant results."

Wang Zhong: "The art of war cannot be explained in one interview, right? You might as well be interested in what kind of person I am."

"This is Mike's area of ​​expertise." Wallace glanced at Mike, "The whole of New York knows that you are the childhood friend of the former crown prince, and how you and him played games."

Wang Zhong looked at Mike, thinking what the hell you wrote.

Mike: "I said before that I am very good at extracting the parts of the news that readers care about. Don't worry, readers like the cowboy macho Rokossov that I created."

Cowboy macho?

Reporter Wallace: "If it weren't for his 'brilliant writing', you probably wouldn't have to wait until now to appear on the cover of Time magazine for the second time."

Wang Zhong was surprised: "I'm on it again? Can the same person appear on the cover twice?"

Reporter Mike: "Generally not, but there can be exceptions, like President Roosevelt, who has been re-elected for the third term. If the war doesn't end soon, he will be re-elected for the fourth term next year."

Wang Zhong: "Okay, when can I get that issue of Time magazine?"

Reporter Wallace took the magazine out of his handbag and showed Wang Zhong the cover. Wang Zhong used his English level, which could barely pass the CET-4, to identify the text on the cover. It seems to be "Plossen Gravedigger".

It feels pretty good.

He took the magazine, stared at the cover for a few seconds, handed it to Vasily beside him, and said to Wallace: "Let's talk about the rest in the car."

————

After getting in the car, Wallace asked the first question without waiting for the car to start: "Marshal, I want to know if you have considered the possibility of defeat."

Wang Zhong: "No, because after my analysis, we have almost no chance of defeat."

Wallace: "What if - I mean if, Ant is defeated, and the former Tsar surrenders to Prosen - we know there is such a possibility, he almost did it that winter two years ago.

"Let's assume that this becomes a reality, what will you do?"

Wang Zhong: "I will retreat to Siberia and continue to resist there."

Wallace: "At that time, I am afraid that the United States will not support you through the Lend-Lease Act. Even so, will you continue?"

"Of course. Even if I am the only one left in the end," Wang Zhong looked at Wallace and said word by word, "Even if I have bullets in my hands and can no longer hold a gun, I will use a wooden stick to throw at the damn Plosson devils."

Wallace's eyes widened: "Use a wooden stick?"

"It can also be a brick, or anything that can be used as a weapon. Ant will not become a colony of Plosson, and we refuse to be second-class citizens! I can predict that in your assumption, the whole of Ant is a beacon of resistance." Wang Zhong stared at reporter Wallace firmly.

"From the Tiber River to the Baltic Sea, all lands will be liberated."

Wallace: "But this also includes the mainland of the Plosson Empire. The Ante army entering the mainland of Plosson should be called invasion rather than liberation, right?"

Wang Zhong laughed: "What a joke! The rulers of Plosson let the young people of Plosson die in a distant foreign land just to satisfy their desires! Countless Plosson mothers lost their sons because of this.

"Rescuing the people of Plossen from such an unjust ruler is certainly liberation!

"We will liberate the entire Eastern Europa. If the Allies do not open up a second battlefield, we will liberate Western Europa as well and plant the secular flag on the Atlantic coast!"

Wallace looked shocked and could not speak for a long time.

Wang Zhong: "Anything else you want to ask?"

Wallace: "Of course, when do you think the most difficult moment of the entire war was?"

Wang Zhong: "Of course it was in Upper Peniye. At that time, we only had a half-crippled infantry regiment and some T28 tanks. The tank drivers who drove them were all lacking in training and everything except courage. Some tank crew members did not even have courage.

"I fought the first defensive battle in my life where I won with fewer troops."

Wallace: "Upper Penye Village?"

"Yes, my troops will retake that village in this winter offensive."

Wang Zhong is still acting. In fact, after crossing the Tiber River in autumn, the places where he had fought will be recaptured one by one.

First Loktov, then Bogdanovka, then Upper Penye and Roniezh, and finally the offensive will stop near the border.

But Wang Zhong said all this happened this winter.

Wallace: "Is it really okay to just talk about future plans like this?"

"No, some things in the military are all overt conspiracies, just like Proson's failure, the general direction is doomed, the key lies in the details!" Wang Zhong laughed, "So there is no risk in revealing the general direction here, because the enemy's headquarters also knows."

Wallace: "Yes... That's it."

Wang Zhong: "The enemy's headquarters also knows that we have just finished a long-distance advance and must stop to replenish and rest. During the advance, many troops fell behind, and many people were separated from the original troops. They need time.

"Many soldiers broke their feet and overdrawn their physical strength during the raid, and they also need rest to recover.

"As for armored vehicles like tanks, they must have many faults after traveling so far, and it will take time to repair them. It will also take time to replenish those scrapped vehicles. We will definitely not be able to launch a large-scale offensive in September this year. We know this, and the people of Proson know it too!"

Wallace: "But, you always like to violate military common sense, don't you? Some people say that you will find a way to break the things that the generals of Proson can predict."

Wang Zhong: "I can't violate objective laws, my dear reporter, you still have to learn one thing about war."

On the east bank of the Tiber River, behind the position of the First Front of Kosalia, the hidden departure node.

Ant soldiers unloaded the sampan from the Dragon trailer to the ground.

"Work harder!" the priest said loudly, "We have to unload all the sampans today!"

A soldier shouted, "We're not going to attack next month, why are we in such a hurry?"

"This is the order from the front commander, this is the will of the marshal, when has the marshal ever asked us to do useless work? Anyway, just do it!"

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of artillery fire came from the east, and the shells whistled over everyone's heads.

Someone looked up at the sky: "Okay, kill more Prosen devils!"

Priest: "You shouting here will not bring more Prosen devils bad luck, the landing point of the shells has been determined! But if you work hard, maybe you can soon eliminate the Prosen people yourself!"

"Oh!" Everyone responded together.

At the same time, Agsukov Railway Station

Ivan, a fifty-year-old railway worker, looked at the tanks on the train entering the station and couldn't help muttering: "This tank is really strange, why is it round?"

The young soldier standing guard next to him laughed: "You don't know, this round head has good protection ability, Proson's armor-piercing bullets were bounced off!"

Old man Ivan: "Really?"

"Yes, you see our helmets are also round, which uses the same principle to bounce bullets!

"I heard from the tank soldiers that this new tank can fight the enemy's 70-ton heavy tanks on equal terms! Ours is a medium tank, only more than 30 tons!"

Old man: "Ah? Then we also build 70-ton tanks, won't we be invincible?"

Young soldier: "What you said, a 70-ton tank will be unable to move, it will sink! You know what the land of Kosalia is like. In the Spring and Autumn Period, cows would sink from time to time!"

Old man: "That's right. Hey, our equipment has become better. If we had such equipment two years ago, there wouldn't be so many deaths, right? "

The young soldier comforted him, "Don't worry, sir, I will never retreat again. Next summer, we will enter the mainland of Proshen!"

"Okay! Okay!" The old man said repeatedly, his eyes fixed on the train that was still entering the station.
