Chapter 1265: Depressed Chuck
"There may be other hidden secrets about this...... Kucha Khan said cautiously. ε «?δΈ?δΈζη½ β€β=.β₯8=1βZβ€β.=COM
How many people the army has lost, Kucha Khan, as the newly appointed Minister of Defense, naturally knows best.
Nearly 60,000 people went, and only about 100 returned. And what exactly did these more than 100 people come back, although Kucha Khan is not clear.
But Kucha Khan, as the deputy minister of defense, is nominally the second-in-command of the military, although in reality his power is completely inferior to that of the two deputy ministers of the same rank as him. But after all, he is also the second-in-command of the military, so in terms of understanding the army, he must know much more than the king Chuck.
So when Chuck's tone changed, all Kucha Khan could say was some ambiguous words.
After all, he can probably guess the truth, what the level of people in the armored car unit is like, and he knows it clearly.
And it was clear to Kucha Khan that there were so obvious marks on the road, and which side of the clothes the crushed man was wearing.
Although the members of the royal guard are only loyal to the king, after all, Kucha Khan is the younger brother of the current king Chuk. In terms of single-round ability, it is only slightly inferior to Chuck.
But based on Kucha Khan's current age and the level of sophistication he has shown, most people in the country have already regarded Kucha Khan as the next king.
Although it is clear to both political and military officials that Kucha Khan's actual power and apparent position are completely inconsistent. But Chuck had no heirs, and the problem was equally clear to everyone.
Chuck's current health is not good, but on the issue of heirs, he has never wanted to let go. Therefore, both the people in the political circles and the military have begun to secretly speculate in their hearts whether Chuck is ready to entrust the position of king to Kucha Khan before his death.
After all, on the one hand, Kucha Khan's identity is there, and he is also the son of the previous king, although in terms of ability, he is still a little worse than Chuck, who can turn the tide.
But Kucha Khan's military attainments are better than Chuck's.
So in private, many people have secretly talked about Kucha Khan as the successor of the next king.
Therefore, the attitude of the people of the royal guard towards Kucha Khan is also relatively ambiguous. Although Kucha Khan could not mobilize the people of the royal guard, some things that were unlikely to be concealed would still be told to Kucha Khan.
And it's like this time, so obvious traces, and the notoriously lazy armored forces. They said that they had bravely rescued dozens of their companions from the enemy's encirclement, and Kucha Khan had come to hear about this kind of thing.
He is the new minister of defense, and he cannot interfere too much in military affairs for the time being. To be precise, this kind of thing is not his turn to manage at all.
Although he has been promoted to Minister of National Defense, it is the two Deputy Ministers who can really make a decision.
On the surface, these two deputy ministers have a lot of respect for themselves. Basically, they will come to discuss major matters with themselves and listen to their own arrangements.
But Kucha Khan knew that it was only because of their lack of ability, and they were unable to solve those things.
It's like this time the mission failed, and an army of nearly 60,000 people went to encircle and suppress about 10,000 mercenaries. In the end, the number of mercenaries killed was not as large as the number of mercenaries killed by the soldiers of the Chinese peacekeeping force, whose number was less than one-tenth of their own!
And more importantly, the army of the Rock Kingdom finally came back with more than a hundred deserters who escaped from the battle!
If you add in the few remaining soldiers on the two trucks, it is equivalent to the number of people who survived the nearly 60,000 troops who participated in this mission, and the proportion is about 3 out of 1,000!
This casualty ratio is simply a shame for an army!
Kucha Khan could barely surmise the truth of the matter, except through the reports of the soldiers who had fled and some detailed information provided by the royal guards.
But what can it be?
Can he really deal with those guys who are nominally heroes, but are actually just deserters, in accordance with military law?
And, more importantly, the army needs an example. Although the heroic deeds of this example are actually completely different from what they did. But after all, the atmosphere in the army of the entire Locke Kingdom has gradually improved.
In the hearts of men, there is a hero. Men have a heroic dream, so when there are heroes or heroic deeds around them, they will naturally not be stingy with their reverence.
For those nominal heroes, the unknown soldiers in the army, they all have great reverence and admiration. After talking to a few of the soldiers, Kucha Khan didn't bother much about it.
Now the atmosphere in the army has gradually improved, although it is caused by some fake heroes. But whether the hero is real or not, the enthusiasm for training in the army and the lazy atmosphere before have gradually changed a lot.
Is it important whether the factors that contributed to this kind of good thing are real or false?
And Kucha Khan also told Chuck about this.
After all, so many soldiers died, so it also caused a big stir within the Rock Kingdom. In the first few days, it was enough to soothe the families of the soldiers who were nominally killed in battle, but in fact had escaped from battle, and many of them were shot from behind by mercenaries, enough to make Chuck anxious.
And now it is a week before the time is finally taken to interrogate the representatives introduced by the soldiers.
And during this week, there was a real peace in the kingdom of Locke. Although the mercenaries escaped a lot, the number they lost this time was even more than the number they had lost before.
Now Cricks is also silently licking his wounds behind closed doors, hoping to recover his strength as soon as possible so that he can deal with the rest of what may come.
After all, having suffered such a big loss this time, the other two mercenary groups would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. Although the three major forces have cooperated quite well in the recent period.
But in the end, cooperation is cooperation, and interests are still interests.
As long as it was possible to snatch some meat from the mouths of the other two mercenary groups, they would not let it go.
This time there was such a big thing in the Rock Kingdom, and the other two mercenary groups would definitely not know about it. Therefore, although Cricks's hatred for the Chinese peacekeepers has skyrocketed many times in an instant after experiencing this time, the most important thing now is not revenge but recuperation.
After all, if the peacekeepers don't take the initiative to provoke, they will definitely not have too many interests entangled with Cricks.
But the people of the two mercenary groups on the other side are not so easy to fool.
In this operation, Cricks put in so much effort and invested so much manpower, financial resources and energy. If this is done, the benefits that can be obtained in the future will certainly not be a small amount.
After all, mercenaries are meant to work for money. It is said that Cricks has put in such a lot of effort, just to have fun, and the remaining two mercenary groups can believe that there are ghosts.
Of course, Cricks didn't intend to use such a low-level excuse to fool the past.
Although in this operation, he lost a lot of money in terms of pension alone. After all, the failure of this mission was mainly because he believed Zhao Yuanshuo's words. The fault is on him, not on the rest.
The number of people involved in the action is so large that if there is no pension, the rest of the people will certainly not feel good.
And because the mission was not completed, and Doyero was killed by mistake, it was impossible for Cricks to extort some money.
So, all this money was taken out of his own pocket.
However, even though he had lost a large amount of money that made Cricks' heart ache, Cricks continued to recruit a large number of strong mercenaries from the Middle East during this period of time.
There was no way, the other two mercenary groups must have been red-eyed, waiting for the opportunity to come up and swallow a piece of meat from their bodies.
So Cricks' biggest task now is restoration, not revenge.
It is precisely because of this that in order to avoid that he couldn't help but go to Zhao Yuanshuo and other troubles, Cricks even left the Rock Kingdom directly, and came out of sight and out of mind.
It is precisely because of this that the Rock Kingdom, which should have been consumed by the wrath of Crix, had a chance to recuperate at this time.
It is also ironic that it is precisely because of the action of Cricks, one of the three major mercenary groups, that the Locke Kingdom has suffered the greatest losses since the beginning of the twentieth century.
But because of the existence of the other two mercenary groups, Cricks is hesitant. Even though he suffered a lot of losses, he didn't dare to make any big moves.
This can be regarded as a mercenary in defeat, and a mercenary in raising.
However, this benefit, it is estimated that Chuck does not want.
If he could, he would rather not want this, and he would not want his army to lose so much in one go.
Although the combat effectiveness of his own troops is amazingly weak, the number of people is there, so he can support the scene, right?
And now, having lost so many soldiers in one breath, he, like Cricks, also needs to pay a large pension. What's more, he knows that many of these dead people are deserters! But even so, he still has to use money to give pensions to the families of these "heroic" heroes who died in battle.
