Chapter 706: Isn’t there already this step...
This sentence was very helpful to Brigadier General Marlott who had spent the night, was frightened, hungry and cold, and whose mind was still stuck on the time when the plane took off about 24 hours ago. That said, the amount of information is indeed a bit too much.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to smooth his hair, but accidentally touched the wound that had just been treated. His whole body twitched in pain, but he didn't want to lose his power in this situation, so he gritted his teeth. Hold it back.
However, although on the surface he looked like an old monk in meditation, the brigadier general's mind was moving very fast.
The first thought that came to his mind just now was——
Didn't a world war start last night?
After all, Marlott knew very well what he did last night (of course he thought he knew it very well).
And it’s hard not to make such associations in this hellish place called the Balkans.
As for what Horvat said just now, it is easy to explain.
The world has nuclear peace, so naturally there will be no need for war anymore.
However, this idea was rejected only for a moment.
Ordinary people may have unrealistic misestimations of the power of nuclear weapons under various deliberate misguidances, but as a strategic bomber pilot and 509th Alliance member who has been dealing with nuclear bombs for half his life, Marlott The former co-captain of the team is quite sober in this regard.
Even if all the approximately 150,000 nuclear bombs around the world at the peak of the Cold War were thrown out, it would be impossible to completely nuclear level the world to the point where it would be impossible to even fight a war.
What's more, the number of nuclear weapons on duty today has dropped sharply, to about one-tenth of this number.
So what the other party just said about "ending the war early" should be literal.
But how is this possible?
In addition to nuclear weapons, what else can stop today's NATO?
The Brigadier also considered the possibility that the other party was deliberately deceiving.
But when I was just arrested, the other four people seemed to have said similar things in the car.
My own arrest was a pure accident, and it was impossible for the two other groups to collude in advance.
And more importantly, there seems to be no point in cheating in this kind of thing...
Barsak next to him looked at the prisoners whose expressions were changing back and forth like a revolving lantern, and he felt so happy that he wanted to jump up, but Firstly, he still had to maintain his image in front of the leader, and secondly, this semi-underground command post was really small. The captain was already tall, and his scalp almost touched the ceiling without jumping up.
There is really no room for improvement.
Furthermore...
He himself is actually no better than Marlott, and his mind is full of question marks at this time.
At this time, the brigade commander also raised his head and looked at Barsak, who was in good spirits, but his face and body were covered in dirt because he hadn't had a good rest or tidied up since last night:
"Comrade Captain, you have made great contributions today. I will report it to my superiors and apply for a commendation for you!"
The latter quickly stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes, thank you brigade Long!”
Horvath nodded calmly:
"Okay, let the chief of staff take you to the back, have a meal and have a good rest."
Under the leadership of a lieutenant colonel next to him, the four of them walked around and along the narrow bunker passage. Arrive at the living area at the back.
The 250th Air Defense Brigade was basically the only unit in the entire Allied operation that fought with the opponent for the whole game. Therefore, the loss of personnel was still a little. At least the chief of staff had been replaced, and the The battle was inconvenient for promotion, so the original epaulettes were still on.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the chief of staff of the air defense brigade should be a colonel.
“In special times, conditions are limited and the number of dormitories is not enough, so they are all shared.”
The lieutenant colonel opened the door of a room and signaled that the four of them could go in and rest:
"There is running water in the bathroom, but there is no way to heat it. If you want to take a bath, you can only use cold water."
" In addition, try to only turn on one light, the power of the generator is a bit insufficient..."
The other party emphasized several precautions in succession. Obviously, although the brigade headquarters is more concealed than their company, it is temporarily underground. The condition of the bunker was much better, but because the entire city's infrastructure was severely damaged, it was impossible to survive alone.
“That...Comrade Chief of Staff?”
Seeing the lieutenant colonel turning around and preparing to leave, Barsak finally got a chance to talk and quickly stopped him:
“We spent the night first in air defense operations, and then huddled in a bunker without water or electricity. After a few hours, I have no idea what’s going on outside.”
“I wonder if I can tell you what the brigade commander just said... the war may end early...”
This matter has spread all over the world, not to mention it is good news that can greatly improve morale. Naturally, there is no reason to keep it a secret from our own people:
The Lieutenant Colonel turned around and simply He sat down on the bedside table next to him:
"Of course, you can just call me Pakovich."
Pakovich knows that the three people in front of him, especially the captain at the head, will probably be promoted by rocket soon. , there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, so it is best to establish a good relationship in advance.
After all, even if this battle is really over now, the future will be troubled.
It never hurts to have more friends.
After several people sat down respectively, Pakovich told a series of things that happened last night, of course a series of things that he could know, exactly.
"..." "..."
After hearing this, the four Barsak looked at each other.
“This…”
“Is there such a thing?”
To be honest, for them, this news is not only shocking, but also...
very satisfying.
After all, the entire Balkan crisis was caused by the EU countries in the first place.
Now that the culprit is being fucked by the foreign aid he invited, the victim feels naturally very happy.
However, it’s cool to be happy.
There are some things that they really don’t quite understand...
“So, the American brigadier general just flew over in a bomber to blow up one of their own people?”
And? The superior soldier who had given Brigadier General Marlott two rifle butts to vent his anger when he was arresting people suddenly felt a little guilty:
"Oh my God, it seems that I may have been a little impulsive just now..."
"Is he a pacifist? He can't stand what Europeans are doing..."
"I don't think so. If he is really a pacifist, he should at least blow up his own air force base instead of a hotel... Although there are many European media there, there are also many staff and ordinary people..."
The speculations became more and more outrageous, but Pakovich himself was not sure why, so he had to interrupt the imagination of several others:
"In short, there have been several Several European countries have refused to continue the Allied operation. Although the Americans themselves are still insisting on not taking a position, I estimate that if the brigadier general we captured is used to make a fuss, there is at least hope of reaching a ceasefire. "
< br>"If that's the case...that would be great..."
Barsak lay back and his upper body hit the bed with a thud.
As the commander of the air defense company who is directly responsible for commanding the frontline air defense operations, he used missiles first and then guns, going back and forth all day and night. Before, he had been holding a tight breath, so it was fine. But now he suddenly relaxed and felt all over his body. They all seemed to have been drained of energy.
“However.”
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Pakovich changed the topic again:
“Americans act capriciously and have no credibility at all, so We can’t let our guard down too much. If they replace people but end up regretting starting the war again, we don’t seem to have a good way to deal with it..."
...
The other side.
China, Beijing.
The meeting organized by the General Staff at Sanzuomen is basically coming to an end.
After all, Mr. Zhang has other external itineraries and there is no more useful information at hand, so it is impossible to keep driving.
As for how to end it...
An effective result has not yet been discussed.
Everyone agrees that the current problem is that the contradiction only exists within the offensive camp, allowing the United States to delay time relatively easily, or even wait until the limelight has passed before relaunching operations.
Therefore, it is best to exert some external pressure to make it difficult for the United States to take both internal and external considerations into account.
At that time, in exchange for the removal of this external pressure, the Allied operations will be officially stopped.
However, this kind of thing is easier said than done.
The main reason is that China in this era is still lagging behind in terms of ability and experience when it comes to exerting extraterritorial influence.
It’s okay to plan ahead and sneak in some key equipment or something, but at this juncture, there’s not much that can be done.
This made everyone present feel a little regretful.
However, if you feel sleepy, give me a pillow.
Just as he was about to announce the end of the meeting, another intelligence officer from the Second Bureau hurriedly sent a piece of information.
After reading the content, even Mr. Zhang, who was the most calm and composed, couldn't help but shake his hands.
"Mr. Zhang?"
Fu Youquan naturally has the right to directly check the information, but in the presence of the leader, he couldn't get over to take a look, so he had to ask in a low voice.
“Comrades, the news came back from the Balkans.”
Mr. Zhang put the intelligence folder back on the table, raised his head and looked at the people in front of him:
"One of the two pilots of the B2 bomber, Brigadier General Bonn Marot, commander of the 8th Air Force, was captured."
