Chapter 432: Shrinking
The Philip Army is in big trouble, and the news has spread in the mercenary community.
In a week's time, Philip's army was wiped out of twenty or thirty strongholds, both large and small, with branches and team stations, and it was not even known who did it.
At first, there were several attacks against the Philippe Army, and the clues left at the scene pointed the attackers to terrorist groups such as Bo'an Haram.
The terrorist organization deserves to be an excellent pick-up man, and it actually took all the orders, and for a time the various terrorist organizations took turns to issue statements declaring responsibility for the attack.
But soon, people found out what was wrong.
Although mercenaries sometimes fight terrorist groups because of their mission, on the whole, the two are still well water.
It would be understandable if the terrorist group retaliated against the Phillip Army only once, but this retaliation was inevitably too many, not only too many times, but also involving almost all terrorist organizations in Africa.
How much alcohol did the Philip Army drink to dare to offend so many terrorist organizations. If this were true, then the Philip's army would never have survived to this point, let alone become a mercenary force to be taken lightly in Africa.
Who exactly launched the attack on Philip's army was a matter of opinion.
Some people say that it is a competition for territory between mercenaries, which is purely a conflict of interests; It is also said that Lenny Philippe offended the bigwigs of the French Foreign Legion and was purged internally; Some people also say that the Philip Army kidnapped the world's richest man and failed, and was rewarded with tens of billions of dollars; There are even rumors through the grapevine that the Philip Army is really provoking the secret troops of a certain big country.
However, all the parties in the rumors have all come forward and made their own statements, which have nothing to do with the matter.
The most brilliant statement was the statement made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.
"In response to the exaggeration by some media of China's secret forces and the attack on the Philippe army belonging to the French Foreign Legion, our side solemnly declares that this news is false, and that there has never been any secret force in China, and that this is a few people with ulterior motives who are stirring up relations between China and France, and it is necessary for the governments and peoples of China and France to heighten their vigilance."
"We are deeply shocked by the successive attacks on the Philip Army by terrorist groups, and we deeply regret and express our deep condolences for the casualties suffered by the Philip Army. I hope that the Philip Army will not be knocked down by temporary difficulties, and can stand up bravely and continue the fight against terrorism to the end! ”
"Facts have once again proved that terrorist organizations pose a serious threat to world peace and stability, and we hope that all countries can establish an effective joint mechanism to jointly combat terrorist forces......"
After the voice was published, the Philips Army was dubbed the "anti-terrorist fighter" by major media......
"Fack!"
Lenny Philip picked up the remote control and slammed it on the TV, smashing the LCD TV to the point that it was all colored.
He still didn't understand the hatred in his heart, and pointed to the spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs who was talking eloquently on the TV screen, and shouted: "Liar! You liars! That's what you did! You still don't admit it! ”
Ryan and the others stood next to him, not daring to persuade him, and finally waited for his anger to subside, and then Luke tentatively asked, "General, what should we do now?" ”
"What else can I do? Continue to contact Qianlong Company and tell them that we are willing to compensate, and it is okay to pay as much as you want! ”
Lenny Philip slammed the table hard and asked, "What did the headquarters say, would they come forward?" ”
"The headquarters said that the current situation is out of their control, and if they want to intervene, it may cause a bigger conflict, so ......"
Luke stopped talking.
"So, we're going to figure it out ourselves, aren't we?" Lenny Philip asked.
"Yes, General." Luke replied.
"These old bastards at HQ!" Lenny Philip scolded angrily again, "I still don't understand why they approved my plan in the first place. If you want me to retire from this position, you don't need to use the lives of the entire Philip Army as a bargaining chip. ”
"They're not really military people, they're more like politicians." Kaidi commented, "General, I think they must have some other purpose, and only when that goal is achieved, they will make a move." ”
"For what purpose? Do you know? Lenny Philip asked.
Cady shook his head and said, "I can't think of it either, but I think it should have something to do with the Hidden Dragon." ”
"Something to do with the Hidden Dragon......" Lenny Philip pondered for a long time, "Do they want me to reveal the identity of the Hidden Dragon?" What's in it for them? Moreover, even if I disclose the identity of the hidden dragon, what is the use of Huaxia biting it to death and not admitting it? ”
"Sometimes, you don't have to do it if it's good for you." Luke said.
"Hurting others and not benefiting yourself? Hehe, I really don't know what kind of brain circuits these politicians' heads are," Lenny Philip shook his head incomprehensibly, "Okay, you guys go out first, I'll contact the headquarters to see if that's what they mean." ”
Paris, France, Headquarters of the Foreign Legion, Office of the Commander.
"Lenny, is the weather okay there?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, I'm not in the mood to talk to you about the weather right now, you should know how I'm doing, and I hope you can help me."
"I'm sorry, I've already told your Luke, it's too big for the Foreign Legion to come forward."
"Not fit to come forward? I remember when you approved my plan, you didn't say that. ”
"Is that so? What did I say in the first place? I have here the approval I gave you last time, let me take a look. ”
"In addition to completing the tasks set by the headquarters, the members of the French Foreign Language Corps have sufficient autonomy to decide on the target of the attack on their own, but all the consequences caused by it are borne by themselves."
"Oh look, it's very clear from this, I and the headquarters are not obligated to lend a helping hand to you, I'm sorry, my friend."
"Fack!"
Lenny Philip was so angry that he wanted to drop the phone, but he knew that the French Foreign Legion headquarters was now his only hope. If you offend Your Excellency the Commander, then the Philip Army is really finished.
"Your Excellency, I am willing to bear the consequences of what I have caused, but can you really bear to see the total annihilation of Philip's army? Either way, we're part of the French Foreign Legion. ”
"Mr. Philip, to be exact, Philip is only a branch of the Foreign Legion, and we have a lot of branches like yours."
"Okay, tell me now, what am I going to do before you can save me?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Philip, you are wrong. Only you, not us, can save you. You can think about how you can stop being attacked by the Hidden Dragon. ”
"I've used all the methods that can be used, I asked people to go to Qianlong to contact and let him let us go, I'd rather pay him money, I'd rather apologize to him, I can do whatever I want, but they don't want to talk to me at all, and they have made up their minds to kill me!"
"Alas, Lenny, my friend, sometimes you should study politics, and when you do, you will find out what the other party's weakness is."
"Your Excellency, what do you mean? Are you saying that I should reveal the identity of the hidden dragon? ”
"Haha, I didn't say that, but I'll give you a suggestion, if you have an idea, try it."
"Okay, I have a meeting here now, I won't say more to you, goodbye, good luck, my friend."
Hanging up, Lenny Philip pondered for a long time and called outside, "Luke, come in." ”
As he expected, Luke was outside waiting for his call.
"General, is there anything wrong?"
"You go and talk to the dragon again, and tell him that if they don't stop attacking, then I'll reveal their identities to the public." Lenny Philip said.
"When, will they accept such a threat?" Luke asked worriedly.
"We have no choice, this is the only way to go." Lannielip said.
"Yes General, I'll do it."
"Go ahead, and call Ryan and Cady to me by the way."
Shortly after Luke leaves, Ryan and Cady walk into the office again.
"General, are you looking for us?"
"Lean, is there any information that it is a hidden dragon?"
"Without evidence, they are like evaporating, and we can't find their figures at all."
"Damn it!" Lenny Philip scolded in a low voice, "Cady, how is the arrangement going now?" ”
"Everything is already in place, we now have 13 combat teams left, adding up to nearly 700 people, in terms of weapons, there are decoration vehicles, tanks, and helicopters, if Qianlong still uses special forces to fight, it should not be able to attack."
"Very well, what did the president say?"
"The president promised to mobilize a regiment of troops to assist us in the defense, but the combat effectiveness of the government army is too weak and can only be used as cannon fodder."
"Cannon fodder is also necessary, it seems that you are indeed well prepared, so let's do this first, you go and get busy, let Noah come in." Lenny Philip said.
Noah, who is in charge of logistics, is now a little inconspicuous among the four King Kongs of Philip's army, and rarely expresses his personal opinions.
When he walked into the office, Lenny Philip motioned for him to close the door, and then asked in a low voice, "How's it going?" Are you all set? ”
"Yes general, it's all ready, all the accounts have been transferred." Noah replied.
"Now it's just the two of us, don't call you general, call me father, my child." Lenny Philip said.
"Yes, father." Noah answered.
Except for the two parties involved, I am afraid that no one in this Philip army knows that Noah is the illegitimate son of Lenny Philips.
Lenny Philip nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tomorrow, let's go together." ”
"Father, do you really want to give up?" Noah asked.
"I don't want to give up, my child, but there's no way, we have to give up now. The advice given to me by the headquarters was to let me disclose the identity of the hidden dragon and use this to threaten the hidden dragon to compromise. I'm not stupid, and if I do, we'll have to die if we don't die......"
