Chapter 2092: The Great War is Imminent
"It seems that there is also a propaganda offensive attached to it, so that your reputation, which could have been okay, has really plummeted. Brigadier General Raul frowned, "Once a hero of the Great Patriotic War in Anmor, a guardian of the northern regions. Now he has become a warlord who slaughtered the people and mutined to interfere in politics. ”
General Logan didn't say a word, but he could see that he was in a terrible mood.
"Not true. Lin Rui shook his head, "If it's just to wronged you, there is no need to get rid of all the cabinet members of the federation at all." Although those puppets of the Secret Society, they also have their role. It was obviously a bit unreasonable for the Order to do this, unless, ......," his face changed, "unless the Order has already begun to clean up these obnoxious golems. ”
"I don't know, I don't know why this is happening, but I know they're determined to do it to me and my people. General Logan said with some agitation.
"General!" Logan's black officer walked in briskly and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Go turn on the TV and see what other nonsense they have?" General Logan said angrily.
The black officer walked over and turned on the television, which was broadcasting timely news, and the streets near the Orumi Capitol were almost in ruins. Tanks and armored vehicles drove through the streets. Black soldiers in armed pickups, maintaining order. An old woman looked at her dead child with sad eyes, and the weeping crowd shouted angrily for the murderer to be punished.
The more he looked at it, the more violent Logan's face became. "Shameless!" he slammed his fist on the table.
"Shameless, usually effective. This kind of propaganda can be very good at discrediting a person. Besides, you are a warlord, and if you don't smear, you are black. Lin Rui said with a wry smile.
"What did you say?" said General Logan.
"Relax General, I mean anger doesn't solve anything right now. Deal with the anger that wants you, and because of the anger and despair. Lin Rui looked at him and said, "Things have already happened, what you have to do is to think about how to deal with it, not sulk." I think you'd want to take someone over and let everyone figure it out. But if you do, you're losing. What you have to do now is to gather your forces and defend in the north. Try not to argue with the Secret Society. ”
"Are you just going to let them wronged me?" General Logan frowned.
"Have they wronged you? That's not what they're for. Their purpose is not as simple as wronging you, they want to destroy you. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "So you'd better wait and see what happens to the other party now." ”
"I can't be wronged like this, I have to stand up and set the record straight. Logan said loudly.
The federal government controls the country's propaganda apparatus, newspapers, radio and television. Whatever they say, that's what they are. Besides, how do you clarify? Your own account, who will believe you? Let Brigadier Raul and us testify to you? Brigadier Raul fought with you, and we are only a private military company. Do you think it's useful to find a general from a hostile country to testify against you, or do you think a bunch of mercenaries who do anything for money can testify for you?" Lin Rui shook his head and said.
While they were talking, the footage on the TV news turned into a live camera. Someone was in front of the podium to complain about the brutality of the northern warlords and the determination of the federal forces to fight the rebellion and destroy the warlords.
Lin Rui and Jiang An's faces changed slightly, and they glanced at each other in surprise. Because the person in front of this man's podium was none other than Vasily, the stand-in of the Grand Duke of the Secret Society.
"Who is he?" Lin Rui said suddenly.
"He?" General Logan frowned, "the federal treasurer, a damn white man. He didn't die in the attack, and now according to the law of succession, he will serve as the interim president of the Orumi Federation. ”
"No, he's supposed to be a Russian. How could it be the Minister of Finance of the Orumi Federation again?" Sergei said in surprise.
"Because the Orumi Federation is newly formed, and he can confirm that his birthplace is here. In addition, he was rich and powerful, and he had trade contacts with various countries. When the federal government formed a cabinet, how could it be possible to bypass him. I really didn't expect that this white man would become the interim president, which is really messed up. General Logan shook his head.
"It's not a mistake, it's been arranged. Lin Rui shook his head and said. "This man is a stand-in for the Grand Duke of the Secret Society. Now that he has stepped in to power, it means that the Order has completed de facto control of the Orumi Federation, and they don't even need puppets anymore. This also proves that they killed so many cabinet members just to put him in power. Very legitimately in control of the country. I believe that there must have been some changes in their military as well. ”
"Yes, according to the latest information, the number one person in the Federation's defense minister was also killed in yesterday's attack. His deputies and chief of the General Staff were also dismissed for mishandling yesterday's attack, which led to serious consequences. New to the stage are some little-known people. General Logan frowned.
"These little people you are talking about are actually not small at all. It is only possible that they have long been planted in the military by the Secret Society, and now they are taking this opportunity to take full power. In other words, the Order now controls both the government and the military of the Orumi Federation, and yesterday's attack gave them the opportunity to declare a state of war. Through the Provisional War Act, they have far higher authority than before. Everything the Secret Society wanted was finally completely grasped by them. Next, there is no doubt that we will deal with you. Lin Rui nodded.
"What should I do?" General Logan shook his head in despair.
"Except to unite other warlords and form a coalition, you have no chance of resisting the attack of the Federation Army. Shogishi replied, "Fortunately, you have a lot of friends. I suggest you start now. Lest the Secret Society call, you are still at a loss here. In addition, you have to let Brigadier Raul try to help you, otherwise you will not be able to withstand this attack yourself. ”
Brigadier General Raul nodded, "I'll go back now, hoping to mobilize the Ministry of Defense and strengthen the deployment at the border." Maybe we can help you when necessary, but don't expect too much. ”
General Logan whispered, "Well, thank you anyway." Mr. Rick, I hope to be able to count on your help as well. No matter how much money you want, I can give it out. ”
"I'm afraid we'll have to talk to our boss. In addition, you really don't need to expect too much, we have advantages in squad special operations, but we are not the best candidates for this kind of large-scale combat mission. Lin Rui shook his head and said.
