General Coffey was pulled out of his bed and sat in his office. He looked at Jiang An with some surprise, he had seen this mercenary and knew that he was the mercenary representative who came to him during the day yesterday. But the other young man had never seen it, and he really didn't know what it was about them to find himself in such a hurry.

"Are the rebels coming again?" General Coffey said as he looked at them nervously.

"It's not that bad, it's a good thing. Shogishi looked at him and smiled, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Rick." Not only was he one of the major shareholders of the Black Isles, but he was also the commander in charge of the Anmore War. ”

General Coffey nodded and said to Lin Rui, "Hello, Mr. Rick. What do you need to do?"

"The general is polite, you are the employer of the company, and we are the employees of the company. We should be working for you. Lin Rui looked at this General Coffey. This is a typical African warlord look, with a well-dressed military uniform, a somewhat middle-aged figure, and a swarthy and shiny bald head.

General Coffey was also looking at Lin Rui, this person looked a little surprisingly young, and there were blood stains on his face in addition to dust and sweat. I don't know what he wanted to do when he came to him at this time. He was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Rick, I don't really understand, you came to me ......"

"I'm giving you a gift. Lin Rui put something on the table, it was a remote-controlled detonator, and it was still stained with slimy blood, as if it hadn't completely dried.

"This ......," General Coffey startled.

"Don't stress General, this is good news. Twenty minutes earlier, my men had attacked the rebel artillery base outside Redstone, blowing up all of the rebels' artillery. Lin Rui pointed to the detonating device. "It's a gift from my newcomer to the general. ”

"Gifts?" General Coffey said in surprise, "you mean, you blew up the rebel artillery positions, destroyed all the artillery, are you sure?"

"Yes. Lin Rui nodded, "I'm very sure, because I personally led the team." ”

"Great, this is simply wonderful!" General Coffey said excitedly with a high-five.

Lin Rui shook his head and said, "It's not good, Mr. General." With all due respect, we destroyed the artillery positions of the rebels. But it was only a small partial victory, and it didn't change the whole situation of the war. ”

General Kofi's smile gradually narrowed, and he looked a little frustrated, "Indeed, even if the artillery position is destroyed, how long our Leta City can hold out is still a question. For now, at best, it has only delayed the fall of Leta. ”

"Yes, to be exact. It was postponed between four and seven days. I've done some calculations, and according to the original words, Leta City will hold out for at least three days or so. However, the rebels ran out of artillery, and the threat to the city of Leta was reduced. In other words, Leta City can last from a week to about ten days. And if we can take advantage of this opportunity, it will be possible to change the situation even further. Shogishi looked at General Coffey and said.

"How to change?" General Coffey said.

"General, please look at the map. At present, the city of Leta is surrounded on three sides, and the situation is critical. And we will support it for a maximum of ten days with our current strength. But don't forget, you've also blocked north of Redstone with some of your forces. So there is only one way out, to retake Redstone and ensure that government forces to the north can follow Redstone into Leta. Lin Rui pointed to the combat map.

"I see what you mean, but the rebels have more than a thousand men deployed in Redstone, and their defenses are very strong. Our current forces are still barely defending, and if we take the initiative, we don't have much chance of winning. "If we take the risk of attacking, we will most likely lose the last barrier of Leta. ”

"With all due respect, General. Leta City is not a barrier, but a coffin. A coffin that's enough to trap us here. Lin Rui replied.

"I still have a few thousand troops in the north, and they should be able to take Redstone to support us. General Coffey defended, "There is no need for us to rush out and risk losing the capital." ”

"But the reality for now is that your men haven't taken Redstone yet. The next ten days were also impossible, although they outnumbered the enemy several times. But they were demoralized, poorly equipped and combat-ready. To tell the truth, General, the troops are currently under the city, and the city of Leta is in danger. Those of your troops may even be watching from the battle. Lin Rui said slowly.

"Mr. Rick, even though you are the military advisor I hired, how dare you say that?!" General Coffey snapped.

"Because it's true, you know better than anyone else that the Anmore government army is nothing more than a combined force between you and a few warlords. For those government forces in the north, they don't care about you, the head of the junta. As long as they preserve their strength, they will be able to support their own troops. If the rebels capture the city of Leita, they may immediately turn against them.

Because for them, whoever is in power, you or the rebels, is just a change of boss. If they think you're in decline, do you think they'll support you without hesitation? I'm sorry to be so direct, but they're actually just a wall. You know that they haven't been able to take Redstone yet. Lin Rui looked at General Coffey and said.

"Well, maybe so. But how do we solve it?" General Coffey was a little frustrated, and he was even less confident when Lin Rui said a few words.

"In order for them to listen to you, you have to show enough momentum and not sit here and be beaten. The only thing that can affect the grass on the wall is the wind, and the grass will fall wherever the wind blows. So you have to outshine the rebels, at least equally. Then they will be on your side.

You are trapped here and beaten passively, even if those government forces in the north are willing to support you, they will weigh the pros and cons. Because they are not sure whether they will be able to defeat the rebels after saving you, and if they save you and still lose to the rebels, then they might as well not fight. At least save some strength and bargain with the rebels. Lin Rui smiled.

Shogishi also sighed and said, "You know, general, this is a very realistic world. There is no such thing as loyalty, everyone is living for themselves. It's like you, even though you once swore allegiance to your country, you still became a warlord and turned the country into your own private property.

And those government forces in the north, even if they swear allegiance to you, they can also swear allegiance to those rebels. Especially when they find out that you don't have a chance to win, and you can't blame them. Everyone will make choices that are beneficial to them. ”

General Coffey looked at them stunned, then sighed and muttered, "So, what do you say I should do?"
