Chapter 291: The Big Decision

The strength of the SAR army was a disaster in the eyes of Marcel and his associates.

"How could they be so fast?" Marcel asked his supporter, Pianina, the commander-in-chief of the army, if they didn't have as many as 50,000 troops.

And their army armored forces, air force, and air defense forces have all been strengthened in recent years, except for the shortcomings of the navy, but they will not all be scrapped in a day!

"Their air power is excessive." Pianina explained.

Marcel could not understand: "Didn't you originally say that our anti-aircraft missiles are capable of threatening their air force?" How could they be wiped out all at once now? ”

"The original intelligence only confirmed that they had a group of Soviet-style fighters and helicopter gunships, and our anti-aircraft missiles were able to deal with it, but this time they used a stealth fighter, and before our radar could detect it, they had already launched an air attack."

"The result is the total destruction of our air defense and ground armored forces?" Marcel didn't know what to say, how could this group of people be so powerful?

"Yes." "But from the point of view of a military officer, they did not achieve victory." We also have a large number of troops that will use scattered, covert counterattacks, using every city as a stronghold, and street fighting will become a nightmare for them. ”

"At the same time, we should ask for the help of our supporters, provide outside interference, provide more advanced military equipment, or establish a no-fly zone over the area, where the Americans may fly warships if they take off fighter jets in violation of the regulations."

"That's a great idea!" Although Marcel did not know much about military affairs, he was very clear about the interference role of these external political and military forces.

……

Defeat the enemy easily. Conquering the enemy is difficult.

The U.S. military was able to defeat Afghanistan and Iraq, but it could not conquer them. Guerrilla warfare, the sea of terror, the US military is entangled in the Middle East.

Victor was clear. Their troops were able to destroy all of the opponent's machine-using equipment in a matter of days, but as many as 50,000 soldiers, who had received professional military training from Black Flag International, would be difficult to identify once they were hidden in the cities and in the mountains.

The African war only needs AK47s and slippers to suffice, this group of people who put down their guns are civilians, pick up guns and soldiers, and when the troops invade the city, they will inevitably face the most brutal street fighting. Unless the city is demolished, there is no guarantee of their loss.

So the SAR troops were after the third day. It slowed down the attack.

They had come south to 650 kilometers away, and the nearby airfield had become a military airfield, warships were docked on the seas on both sides, and more than 5,000 army soldiers were constantly massing.

A hundred kilometers further on is the capital, but the rest of the battle will not be as smooth as the previous one, where the buildings are dense, the terrain is complex, and the civilians are numerous and difficult to control.

Is it to engage in street fighting, capture the culprits, or destroy the city completely?

The voices of the outside media began to spread internationally, and the sudden outbreak of the civil war in Malagasy caught people off guard! If it was before. This corner of Africa won't get much attention, but because of the development and sophistication of the Special Zone, the news here becomes very valuable.

The public opinion offensive of the media often represents the first step taken by those behind the scenes. There are already people on the Internet who are recreating this war, claiming that it is the desperate cry of black people who are oppressed and exploding in pursuit of democracy; It was also said that the SAR Government had attacked civilian areas, causing civilian casualties.

The rumor-mongers are good at putting the perspective of blacks being persecuted by whites. It detonated the topics of racial equality, sympathy for the weak, and hatred of whites, and attracted the voices of the South African Community and the African Union. Ask the whites to stop the offensive, ask both sides to exercise restraint and sit down and negotiate.

Media public opinion guidance + interference from external organizations has emerged.

Inside Malagashy. There were also rumors circulating among the black community that the white government was going to purge them of the blacks, confiscate their property, and drive them out of their territory.

This kind of rhetoric, coupled with the recent ferocious combat methods of the troops, really caused many blacks to panic, and they hurriedly packed up their belongings and fled with their families.

They were convinced that the North was no longer safe, that it had been occupied by whites, and that it would only be safe to go back to the South, to that area protected by a hundred thousand black troops.

"Ignorance!" When Meng Qian saw this information, he didn't bother to complain, if things were according to the rumors, then why were the blacks in the SAR okay?

In the entire SAR, there are at least 1 million black people working and owning families, and the government is the first to explain that the rebels assassinated President Hamid and created turmoil in a vain attempt to split and sabotage their interests -- educated blacks are not guilty and resolutely support the SAR.

Wouldn't it be stupid to have a black interest involved, if Marcel's equality rules mean that they work hard in exchange for their current education, housing, and health benefits, and the other party only needs to squeeze in the whole family and do nothing to get the same treatment?

There is no harvest without paying, how can there be no unearned gain in the world?

So the blacks on the side of the SAR supported them, and because they were educated, had the Internet, and were able to freely contact the outside world, under the leadership of Rep. Manoro, they began to organize their voices in support of justice, support a thorough investigation of the truth, and condemn the media that spread rumors.

The effect of the initial decision to quickly educate blacks at any cost was revealed: this group of people was not white-eyed wolves, but when necessary, they stood up and began to confront untrue public opinion in society, and the SAR government also quickly identified friend and foe in this.

"At the moment, the United States is trying to discuss with Britain and France whether to intervene in the internal problems of Malagasy." Amanda brings intel.

"The mastermind behind the scenes is the-stirring stick of the United States, right?" Meng Qian guessed itβ€”they had guessed this thing a long time ago.

"What about the attitude of Britain and France?" Tiger cares more about the latter.

Amanda said: "It is unlikely that they will be on the side of the United States, because we have a lot of cooperation with Britain and France, and once we mess up, it is they who will lose." ”

The SAR has cooperation with Britain in exoskeletons, superconductors and other technologies, and has an arms sales agreement and the influence of the Brotherhood with France.

The European refugee crisis a decade ago. The Americans have completely tricked Europe, so that they have not yet recovered. Society is constantly deteriorating.

Is it now necessary to join the United States in sanctioning Malagashy?

On the one hand, there is the United States, a powerful ally that often tricks people; On the other hand, it is the mastery of powerful technology. A white-dominated government that identifies with the brothers of Europe.

Who to choose?

The British and French governments have successively expressed their attitudes: "Call for the cessation of the issue of racial antagonism, call for the renunciation of force, and be willing to urge the two sides to sit down for peace talks." ”

The attitude of Britain and France was: their internal affairs, they solved them themselves.

Didn't offend the Americans, and didn't take sides with Malagasy. Britain and France, which have a strong influence on Africa and are known as "gendarmes", do not interfere.

……

The external pressure is a little less. The non-interference of Britain and France is the best help.

But there are also voices within the leadership that their respective families are not there after the war and are worried about the situation.

"Put a hundred hearts." Meng Qian was communicating with his wife and children on video, "I'm very safe here, it's 600 kilometers away from the war zone, and the rebels' longest-range weapons can hit up to 100 kilometers, and it's so quiet here that you can't even hear the sound of artillery!" ”

"Then why don't you let us pass?" Wang Manwen's unease was written on his face. It's a long way off, but it's a war after all.

Is six hundred kilometers far away? In many people's minds, this is still a dangerous distance, and it is easy to think of the devastation and desolation of Syria, Ukraine and other places. The gunshots rang out from time to time, the bombs dropped, and what was even worse: their families were over there!

"Why don't you come back?" Wang Manwen looked at him. "Please!"

"It's okay here, I'm safer here than yours." Meng Qian patiently explained. But it is true that he has guards here, air defense systems. There are only bodyguards on the British side.

She turned her head to ask for help: "Look. ”

"We don't doubt you're not a hero." Gong Hui said, "But compared to your safety, we are willing to exchange everything for it." ”

Meng Qian nodded: "I promise to go back to see you intact, but it is during this time, the situation here is very important to my plan, it is my hard work, I have spent so many years to manage it, and I don't want it to wither before it blooms." ”

"I can understand you." Gong Hui said, "Protect yourself first!" ”

"You still owe me a lot of promises!" Wang Manwen said, "And our children. ”

"I know." Meng Qian smiled, "Is the child asleep?" Kiss them for me! ”

……

Internal and external factors have made the chiefs and the top brass think about the next step.

It has been seven days since the outbreak of the war, and the government's military spending has reached $700 million, an average of $100 million a day! Fighting a war is a money-burning job, and the so-called "once the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels", the more it is consumed, the more negative the impact on the country will be.

"Britain and France did not interfere, and this is the best situation for us." Tiger looked at the crowd, "But there are also Americans who are eyeing us, and it is not good for us to get into the quagmire. ”

"What about the rebels in the south?" Victor asked.

"Map." Tiger said, and the hologram showed, "I discussed it with David last night, and we currently control more than 200,000 square kilometers of land. ”

"It's all the chiefdom that Hamid sold to us before." Meng Qian added.

"Rumors from the rebels in the south have led to a large number of blacks leaving the territory and heading south to rebel-held areas, and our population is currently declining rapidly," Tiger said. ”

A lot of people thought about it.

Tiger gave the answer: "We unanimously decided to establish a border base on the borders of the chiefdom that had been demarcated, and to reform the old system and form a new alliance. ”

"Good idea." Victor nodded.

This is indeed an opportunity to quickly get rid of the quagmire of war, get rid of the black overpopulation, have full autonomy, and let the economy soar across the board.

"What will it be called?" Yuan Yubo asked.

Meng Qian said to the crowd: "The United Emirate of Malagasia, abbreviated as UME, the union of the two emirates of Lazinania and Tuamaasia, the SAR will still maintain autonomy, and as a whole they will eliminate the third emirate and reorganize into a federal state. ”

(UME, i.e., The-United-Malagasy-Emirates) (To be continued.) )
