Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-Five
But this time, Yi Xingchen's deployment was not very smooth.
The tide of war is constantly changing, so much so is the international situation. The next day, the fast-moving Stellar Society army had already arrived at the edge of the capital city of Ganglong.
Not only that, but the Stellar Society seems to be ready to amplify its moves. Perhaps it is precisely because of the lessons of the past that this time, in order to get rid of the influence of public opinion on the part of the League of Nations Congress, the representative of the United States has clearly and publicly stated at the League of Nations Congress one step ahead of time that the war in the country of Ganglong is in fact a continuation of the civil war in Africa, and that the Congress of the League of Nations should intervene and demand that the authorities of the League of Nations withdraw the military confrontation, adopt an attitude of peace talks, and cease fire.
Not only that, but the representative of the United States of America also submitted a draft to the Assembly of the League of Nations to further put pressure on the authorities of the country of Ganglung to propose the dispatch of a peace force to the country of Ganglong.
However, although the peace force proposed by the representative of the United States is also based on the principle of peacekeeping from a neutral position and has the important mission of preventing the escalation of local conflicts, the American side has made it clear this time that the peace force needs to be a joint force composed mainly of the United States and the forces of small European countries.
After the representative of the United States finished expressing his position, Huaguo, Xinghua Island and other countries immediately raised objections on the spot, and their attitude was even clearer and more resolute!
Yi Xingchen was very clear about the intentions of the representatives of the United States, so naturally he would not conform to their thoughts, let alone give them the opportunity to take further opportunistic measures. In particular, Yi Xingchen is really not very sure what strong support Ganglong can win from the League of Nations Congress, so he must completely cut off the opportunity of the United States side to use the League of Nations Congress. Of course, even if the United States has no intention of expressing its position in advance today, Yi Xingchen has no intention of keeping them out of the matter. Because, most of the weapons and equipment of the Stellar Society's army were produced by the American continent, it is obvious that if the Stellar Society's actions are not supported by the American powers, it is impossible. Since the United States has already intervened, Yi Xingchen believes that in this war between the Ganglong Kingdom and the Stellar Society, the United States is not qualified to stay out of the matter and stand by.
In addition to the opposition expressed by Hua Guo and Yi Xingchen's Xinghua Island, not long after the United States proposed the draft, the representative of Ganglong also filed a complaint with the League of Nations Congress, mainly accusing the United States of violating the main purpose of international peace, openly supporting the invaders, and even participating in the invasion of a sovereign country. Just in case his words are unfounded, the representative of Ganglong has made one more move, presenting evidence that proves that there is a secret connection between the Stellar Society army and the United States.
The evidence is that the weapons and equipment of the Stellar Society army are basically American products, and the evidence especially points out that the source of military expenses for the Stellar Society army is the United States, and most of the soldiers in its army are composed of American veterans.
In fact, this evidence has long been a secret known to all countries, so when the Congolon side filed a complaint, the representatives of the other countries remained silent, and did not intend to stand in solidarity with the United States.
However, the United States has always insisted that the evidence is insufficient, and the country has been framed.
On the other hand, Chu Hans held a formal and grand press conference in the presidential palace of Ganglong State through satellite simulcast to the world, and released a message to the blue mercury world, saying that in the territory of Ganglong Country recently, the people spontaneously organized a military team to prepare to counterattack the invaders and launch attacks on the invaders' major cities according to the behavior of the invaders.
The government of Ganglong led by Chu Hans solemnly stated that this is a patriotic act of the people overseas, which has risen spontaneously, but it has nothing to do with the government, although the government will not support this kind of behavior in any way, but it will not suppress it, because the people have the freedom to express their will.
Such-for-tat words, after the propaganda of Xinghua Group, quickly spread throughout the planet as if they had grown wings.
These remarks also immediately aroused the alarm of the United States, and it was obvious that it was necessary to speed up the attack. Thus, while the League of Nations Congress was still in session, on the morning of the third day, the Stellar Society army continued to attack the capital of Ganglong.
The continuous attack of the Stellar Society army did not make the Ganglong army determined to defend the capital show the slightest fear, and the Ganglong army that had always tried its best to defend the capital city started a tug-of-war with the Stellar Society on the outskirts, even if it did not make the Stellar Society army retreat immediately, at least it made them unable to advance easily.
It is not only the two sides of the war who care about the war in the country of Ganglong. As a matter of fact, since the country of Ganglong did not immediately close international air routes and ban the entry of foreign media because of the outbreak of the war, a large number of media attracted by the outbreak of the war sent their own war correspondents to gather in the capital of the country in order to obtain first-hand information on the progress of the war.
Although the war was approaching, some media reporters took the initiative to carry their equipment and hide in undefended safe areas for safety, but even in the safe areas, reporters could still clearly hear the sounds of fighting in the distance - all kinds of continuous gunfire, artillery bombing, bomb explosions...... As the war became more and more tense, these war correspondents, who had originally pursued the goal of reporting the war as the first time, began to feel the suffocating fear at all times because of the threat of war, and gradually began to want to give up reporting and leave.
Only a few experienced war correspondents will not care about this, but want to get in touch with the local TV reporters in Ganglong Country, or be able to conduct interviews in the city freely, or even accompany the army to interview, and use the camera to record the fierce battle between the two sides for the first time.
Except for the reporters who didn't care about their own safety, the rest of the people remained in the safe area, after all, there was a television set here, and they could keep track of the development of the war at any time.
The cruelty of modern warfare is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and no matter how restrained the two sides are, a large number of casualties are still inevitable, and tragic and bloody scenes abound. Thanks to the careful records of war correspondents in various countries who are not afraid of war, a large number of documentary videos about this war show the empirical evidence of the cruelty of this war, and through the rapid dissemination of the media, it will soon be displayed in front of the public.
All kinds of news about this war, as a result, gradually spread to the entire Blue Mercury countries.
