Chapter 467: Divergence
While Lin Rui and the others were desperately holding on, the Red Baron was waiting for Dilia to arrive in his marching tent.
Dillia finally arrived, dressed in a white African robe, and stepped out of the sedan chair carried by several black men. With a hearty smile, the scepter in his hand, which symbolizes Mavo's royal power, shines brightly.
When he stepped out of the sedan chair, he fell to his knees. According to tradition, the Mavo people worshipped the heir of the royal family as if he were the heir of God. Behind him, two young women with fans in their hands followed. It's completely a kingly style.
However, when Dilja entered the tent, the two women behind him were blocked by the indifferent Secret Order soldiers.
The Red Baron sat in his tent sipping coffee, and Leah sneered, "You've finally arrived, my Highness." ”
Dillia smiled faintly and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, my baron." But you also know that those are for outsiders, and I will always be your loyal subordinate. ”
"I never wanted anyone's loyalty, because I knew that loyalty would eventually turn into betrayal. So I don't want to be loyal. But the Secret Society needs it, and the proper functioning of the organization requires the loyalty of all. "So can you explain to me why when I asked you to confront the Guray and Mavo armies in the Eastern Province, you repeatedly retreated, even without a fight." ”
Dillia's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile, "Baron, you must have misunderstood. ”
"I didn't misunderstand you, it's just that our organization has begun to misunderstand you. And even if it's a misunderstanding, I'm waiting for you to clarify. I'll give you such a chance. "Red Baron Leah.
"Okay. I have to say that Guray is too tricky, although he has only more than 3,000 people under his command, but those are veterans who have experienced the battlefield, and he recruited them from the armies of several surrounding countries. Moreover, these countries have not only acquiesced in such acts, but have also continued to provide him with other supports. A large number of munitions and weapons, even enough to form a mechanized division. "You know, my men are just armed civilians, untrained and untrained, and they can't stand up to the combined forces of Guray and Mavo with their zeal for revenge." ”
"So you retreat without a fight, and Yan zhòng affects our plans. The red baron's face was gloomy.
"I said it was a helpless move. The situation at that time was that I could not afford too many casualties. Because we had a very successful operation in the early stage. We have convinced a significant part of the Maavo people that the junta is the source of their misfortune. Only by returning to tradition and relying on King Mavo can we achieve true liberation. That's why I'm able to gather popularity and get those civilians to stand with me. Dilja explained.
"Does this have anything to do with your disobedience?" said the Red Baron coldly.
"If I carry out your orders, I will have to fight Gulei to the death in the Northeast Battlefield. Then these people under my command will be dealt a fatal blow, and the trust and courage that have just been gathered will be dealt a heavy blow. The people were hopefully engaged in the restoration of King Mavo, but they were immediately wiped out. This would be a fatal blow to their motivation. I couldn't take the risk, so I ordered the retreat. Dilja sighed.
"As you mean, you ran all the way, but it gave them the confidence to follow you?" said the Red Baron.
"Of course, although the warlords Guray and Mavo are pressing forward step by step, in fact, the Mavo military has a very weak ability to control the local area. As I went westward, many areas that were not under the control of the warlords of Mavo would be thrown at us. It's like a snowball, and it's going to get bigger and bigger eventually. Until I expand enough to fight Guray and the others. "It's safer than going head-to-head against them." ”
"It's true that people join you everywhere you go, and that makes your supporters embrace you even more. After all, you will always be the appeal of the royal family, and you have avoided the danger of being hit and lost. But the reality is that you lose a lot of people in the process of escaping, so you force soldiers along the way to replenish your strength. The Red Baron shouted.
"So what? I have at least three thousand men in my hands, a large number of weapons and baggage, and I have not suffered many losses. Dilia said slowly.
"But your acceleration and retreat have made it extremely difficult for me here. The Mavo army followed your retreat trajectory and judged your retreat route in advance and fortified it in Nalaner. My men have been fighting here for a few days. Numerous casualties were immense. The Red Baron said coldly, "Don't you think this responsibility has nothing to do with you?"
"I guess it really has nothing to do with me, right?" said Dilya's eyes, "After all, I wasn't the one who was tasked with attacking Naran. ”
"Yes, it's my responsibility to attack Naran. However, due to your early retreat, I have suffered a great loss here. And this qiē should not have happened. The Red Baron shouted.
"All right, Baron. Let's let go of these disputes. Let's face the current problem together, how are you going to capture Naraner?" said Dillia with a wave of his hand.
"There was no attack because an hour ago we had missed the last opportunity. If we had taken Naranr an hour ago, we might have been able to defend against Guray's attack with Nalaner. But it's too late now. I have given the order, and all of our men have retreated. The Red Baron said coldly.
"What, this can't be!" said Dillia in surprise, "You're going to give up on attacking Naran, or even the entire plan to control the uranium mine in Mavo? ”
"Now that decision has changed. The Red Baron said coldly, "If this kind of war continues, it will be a safe and unprofitable deal." We don't care if you're royalty or not. I don't care who will do anything about you and the warlords. We are actually very simple, a qiē is a business for the secret society. Cost and profit are what the Secret Society cares about. Once the cost we have to pay is much higher than the profit. Naturally, we have the right to quit. ”
"But we haven't lost yet!" said Dillia.
"I've already lost, I can't take Naranr before Guray arrives. Because we've gotten bogged down in urban street fighting. Street fighting is the best option for the weak to deal with the strong. It's a real war meat grinder, it's slaughter. The winners and losers will lose a lot of money. The Red Baron shouted.
"But we have the advantage of numbers and equipment. Delia shouted.
The Red Baron sneered, "In Grozny, Russia, a land of projectiles, the Chechen armed forces with 30,000 people blocked the 120,000 Russian troops with advanced tanks and helicopter gunships, and the corpses were scattered all over the field for two months. The helpless Russian President Vladimir Putin later ordered the bombing of Grozny, but this small small city has become an eternal pain in the hearts of Russian soldiers.
This is street fighting, and there will be restrictions in terms of numbers and weapons. The attackers and defenders will fight in a state of extreme unequality. The attackers never knew where cold guns would be fired or in which street they would be bombed. Unfortunately, I can't let the people of the Order suffer any more losses. ”
