Chapter 830: There Is No War Without Sacrifice

"The Philippine side proposed that the northern part of Mindanao, which was 'occupied' by the guerrillas, was under the de facto control of the Philippine state and should be temporarily administered by the Philippine side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Leyte Island, as a disputed area of war, and has suffered a nuclear strike, should be taken over by UN peacekeepers, and both sides will take a step back and withdraw their troops from Leyte Island......"

Before the officer in charge of delivering the news could finish speaking, Ivan suddenly became angry.

"It's not a step back at all! This is Chi Guoguo's conspiracy!"

Compared to Ivan's anger, Jiang Chen's expression was much calmer.

He finally understood that the Philippine sending guerrillas to Mindanao was not a "suicidal" war of attrition by abandoning supply lines, but an attempt to form a form of de facto control over the region.

Then, through external factors, the United States or the United Nations will intervene to force this war to end!

And this ceasefire line will draw the entire northern part of Mindanao to the Philippine side!

"Use the three divisions deployed across the Surigao Strait as bait to lure us into launching a landing battle on Leyte Island to cut off the supply of these three divisions. Leave a brigade of troops in Tacloban City to block our advance, and then when we almost seize control of Tacloban City, detonate the nuclear bomb hidden in the city center......" Putting his finger on his chin, Jiang Chen said in a low voice while thinking.

From the very beginning, the Philippines did not intend to win this war on the battlefield, but intended to divide the victory from outside the battlefield. If it were to enter the International Tribunal, it would be up to the United Nations to examine which party had used nuclear weapons.

Obviously, if it goes to court, the Freemasons, who have a wider sphere of influence, will obviously have a better chance of winning.

Regardless of the ruling, Moro will lose control of northern Mindanao.

From the very beginning, they intended to detonate this nuclear bomb!

"How much time the UN gives us. Jiang Chen looked at the officer who had summoned him.

"Twenty-four hours. "The observers sent by the United Nations have been very strong, and if we cannot achieve a ceasefire within 24 hours, the United Nations will authorize the permanent members to intervene in the region......

"Twenty-four hours of ceasefire? They started the war, and now they say they want a ceasefire!" one officer scolded.

"Falket's United Nations! It's not fair!"

"Shet! We in the Moro nation cannot accept such an outcome! absolutely not—" scolded the officer from the Moro nation.

"Now is not the time to complain. Jiang Chen's fingers knocked heavily on the table, interrupting the voice on the command table, and his sharp gaze swept over a pair of eyes beside the command table, "Everyone, we still have twenty-four hours." ”

"Think about what we can do with those twenty-four hours. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chen paused and stretched out two fingers.

"In general, there are only two scenarios for a ceasefire. Both sides laid down their arms and retreated to within the ceasefire line. Or, one of the parties surrenders. ”

"What do you mean?"

"We went straight to the capital of the Philippines. Jiang Chen pointed his finger on the holographic map, erased the original outline of the offensive route, and drew a red cross directly at the location of Manila, "Before the UN tribunal opens, try the war criminals who detonated the nuclear bomb!"

All the officers in front of the command table couldn't help but hold their breath for a while, looking at each other.

The silence lasted for almost half a minute, and no one said a word.

“…… This is crazy. Ivan couldn't help but speak, breaking the silence at the command table.

However, unlike the doubts on his lips, his eyes flashed with fanaticism about the plan proposed by Jiang Chen.

"Yes, it's crazy," Jiang Chen nodded, clapped his hand on the command table, his eyes swept over his faces, and squeezed out the last sentence from between his teeth word by word, "But remember for me, they went crazy first!"

……

An underground bunker in Manila, which is the temporary headquarters of the Philippine National Army.

Due to the loss of air supremacy, in order to prevent the Aurora-20 of Star Ring Trade from launching an air attack on the capital, the Ministry of Defense, Congress, and the Presidential Palace have all temporarily moved in here to maintain the operation of the army and government agencies.

"What the hell did you do, did you do the right thing, did you, answer me!huh?"

Philippine Defense Secretary Marshal Stark kicked open the office door, took two steps forward, and grabbed military adviser Moritz by the collar. The latter, however, only looked at him indifferently, allowing the gray-eyed old man to tug at his collar.

"I don't understand what you mean. ”

"A nuclear explosion in Tacloban! Who else but you Jews could come up with a nuclear weapon!" said Marshal Stark angrily.

"Pay attention to your rhetoric," Moritz, a military adviser from Germany, said bleakly, as he removed his hand from his collar, "There are many countries that possess nuclear weapons, whether they are overtly or covertly. Although there is no evidence, we can also assume that the new country has nuclear weapons. ”

"Fart!" Stark scolded, "I have already taken the advantage, and I still take out a nuclear bomb? I would exchange 13,000 men for a 2,000-strong brigade, even if the pig commanded it, it would be impossible to make such a stupid and absurd decision!"

"But that's the truth, it's the nuclear bomb dropped by the bombers of the Star Ring Trade. We don't have proof, but they don't either. Air supremacy is in their hands, and it is impossible for a nuclear bomb to fall on its own. ”

"That's a city! A city with 100,000 civilians left to evacuate! I don't talk about the soldiers who are still fighting in the streets of the Moro country! That's 100,000 people! 100,000 unarmed civilians!" Field Marshal Stark's eyes were red, and his teeth were almost crushed.

"But this is war. Moritz said lightly.

There was silence in the office.

Marshal Stark's chest heaved violently, like a trapped beast in a cage, and the corners of his mouth and nostrils overflowed with roars.

"The United Nations will intervene, the two sides will cease fire for 24 hours, and the peacekeepers will take over the island of Leyte, which has suffered a nuclear attack. The entire northern part of Mindanao will return to Philippine control because of the guerrillas' 'de facto control' over the region. ”

At this, Moritz paused, reached out and straightened the collar of the old man in front of him.

"Now that it's happened, I think we'd better speak in unison. ”

"Those who died......"

"There is no war that can be won without sacrifice, and I asked you from the very beginning how much consciousness you have. Now I tell you, those of your compatriots who died were sacrifices necessary to win this war. ”

A drop of cold sweat slipped down Stark's forehead, and his lips trembled.

"You madman...... You can't be asked to command the Philippine army. I will apply to the president to remove your command!"

"The command can be returned to you, there are only twenty-four hours left anyway. The Moro nation should launch a frantic counterattack against the guerrillas in northern Mindanao, and at this point we only need to maintain a continuous landing on Mindanao, and support the guerrillas to hold our 'fruits of victory' through the artillery positions deployed on Bohol Island."

At that moment, a piercing alarm interrupted Moritz's words.

Moritz frowned slightly and looked at the door.

"What sound?"

Stark looked up at the concrete ceiling and muttered.

"It's an air defense alert ......"

"Air strikes?" Moritz frowned.

It's all up to this, what's the use of an air raid on Manila?

"I hope ......" Stark said something for some reason.

However, his instincts told him that things might be far more simple than air strikes. (To be continued.) )
