At the headquarters of the Orumi Federation forces, Conan hurried over and reported to the Red Baron, "Our troops in Northtown have been attacked, and a large number of rebels have penetrated our lines and completed the breakout. ”

"I already know that these Orumi federal forces are rubbish. The Red Baron shook his head a little annoyed, "The rebels are obviously at the end of their crossbows, and they can still be successfully counterattacked by these guys." Tell the Orumi government forces to shoot the officer in charge of the matter immediately. I have long said that the Orumi Federation Army must be completely rehauled, they have absolutely no real military consciousness. ”

"Yes, Baron, but it doesn't seem that simple. Conan's eyes twinkled, and he groaned.

"Of course I know it's not that simple, and judging by the scale of the attack, this time they are completely out of the nest. The Red Baron sneered, "With Le Anson and his Settlement Organization, they simply don't have the determination and courage to make such a gambling attack. Even if they wanted to launch a counterattack, they couldn't have been so fast. Someone outside must have intervened. ”

"Could it be Logan?" Conan whispered, "they've been providing weapons and financial assistance to these rebel guerrillas. If it weren't for him, these partisans would not have been able to grow so strong. ”

"Hmph, he's taking care of himself now, and of course he's never stopped helping the rebel guerrillas. It's one of the most important tools he's used to contain us, and, so far, he's been successful. The Red Baron nodded, "However, although Logan has the heart, he may not be able to do this. The commander of this battle was not only good at surprising, but also very meticulous in command and organization. It reminds me of a person. ”

"Who?" Conan frowned, "there are no such people under Le Anson. Although some of his troops were former Anmore's troops, he was more professional than the other guerrillas. But there shouldn't be such a powerful character. ”

"Certainly not Leanson's men. What I suspect is the Black Isle Military Company, the actuary will be ashore. The Red Baron whispered.

"Actuary, Baron, do you suspect that the Black Isle Company is behind us this time?" Conan said in surprise.

The Red Baron nodded, "The actuary is an out-and-out ruthless character. His ruthlessness is not reflected in his combat ability, but in his ability to coordinate and command, his mind is his most powerful weapon. Moreover, this person once received a higher military education, and even spent time in the US Military Tactics and Strategy Research Office. Bold and thoughtful, even Maklovsky admits that he is a fierce rival. ”

"If the actuary is there, then Rick and the O2 team must be among them. Conan frowned, "What the hell are they trying to do?"

"I guess they're trying to use these guerrillas to delay us. It seems that they have really figured it out, and they are really going to fight us to the end. The Red Baron sneered.

"Hmph, these private military companies are not a good thing in the first place. Ostensibly because of their clients, they have a conflict of interest with us. In fact, they are eyeing us, knowing that if we rise to the occasion, they will completely threaten their presence in the region. That's why they are desperate to make trouble with us. It's like a swarm of pesky flies. Say, Baron, what are you going to do with them?" Conan frowned.

"It was a simple thing to deal with them. I'm even planning to get rid of them once and for all within a month. But now that they have flown back, and with the support of the Black Isle Military Company, they will become more cunning and cautious. The main thing is that they are no longer trapped in a corner, but have enough space for guerrilla warfare, which is the most difficult thing to do. But there is always a time for them to stop. Like you just said, they're like flies, and the flying flies are hard to catch, but as long as the fly stops, I can slap them to death. The Red Baron sneered.

Conan nodded, "I see, the baron wants to hold his troops for the time being, seize the opportunity to kill with one blow." ”

The Red Baron sneered, "That's right, the rest will bother the Orumi Federation Army." Let me concentrate on gathering their intelligence, and when I have the opportunity, I will completely wipe out this anti-government guerrilla force. This elite team, which the Silver Wolf is proud of, was completely wiped out in Orumi. ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it. Conan nodded.

At the same time, Lin Rui and others and the rebels of the SLO have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Orumi Federation after breaking through the encirclement of government forces. They are discussing what's next.

"This time we had a smooth operation and the casualties were well controlled. But our crisis remains, and there are people from the government army everywhere. I think we have to turn east, via Highway 9, into Safavid-controlled territory. This is the area where the Orumi Federation has weaker control. The Safavid tribal forces have always been relatively neutral between us and the federal government forces. Le Anson's chief of staff nodded, "We can rest our troops there and re-expand our forces." ”

"I'm afraid that's not a good idea, Chief of Staff Philo. I know that your mother is a Safavid, and that you and the Safavid armed leader are cousins. But this is no longer the case. After months of fighting, I am afraid that none of the clan forces will dare to take us in. This has nothing to do with personal relationships, but is under pressure from government forces. A black officer shook his head.

"That's right, now many local armed forces don't dare to have much to do with us. We are in Orumi, and no one can turn to us. Unless we go to the Anmore region in the north, which is our territory. ”

"But to get to the north, you have to cross most of Orumi. Government forces are not fools, and our little ones will not get far before we will be besieged again. And this time we didn't have that much luck. General, we cannot pin our hopes on anyone, nor can we take any more risks. Le Ansen shook his head, "Although we are out of trouble, the Orumi government army will definitely not let us go like this." So where to go next is the most important question for us to consider. Mr. Rick, what is the opinion of your military advisory group?"

Lin Rui coughed and said in a low voice, "I think the chief of staff is right, we should go east." For one, it was indeed the weakest area of the Orumi Federation Army's influence. Second, it is close to the Carti Mountains, making it easy to hide. As for controlling the local Safavid forces, if we keep our distance from them, we shouldn't get into trouble. We won't be there for too long anyway. ”
