Chapter 82: Friends United
Returning with Milk were Kickman's men, whom they met halfway through. These Kochiman men were ready to wait here for Joich, who was already heading here. From these people, I know that Kirchiman and Fastich fought fiercely in the Earl's territory, and that the Count's resistance was stubborn. It's not hard to imagine, it's almost predictable. But the man mentioned something that was unexpected, and that was that they said that Stich had been a little hesitant in the battle with the Count, but that it seemed to them that themselves, that is, Cochiman's team, were more courageous in the battle and more resolute in carrying out their orders.
I can't believe this statement, because judging from Fastic's performance at that time, it seems that he wants to find the Earl more than Keqiman, how can it become that Fastich hesitates in the mouths of these people?
I looked at Milk, wanting to know the details from him. Milk, after motioning for the oil bottle to take everyone to rest, pulled me aside and said, "That's a good man. Fastic's team was met with a head-on attack from the Count, and Fastich hesitated. In my opinion, that man is a bluffing piece of waste. It's Ke Qiman, I thought he was just a politician with tricks and eyes, but when it really started, hehe. He was much stronger than Fastic, constantly pressuring his commanders to let go and make progress, and then forced Fastich to attack the team. Judging by the gunfire there, they were fighting quite fiercely, and the Count was in danger this time. β
"Ke Qiman's team is so powerful? Why haven't you heard of it before? "I asked strangely, there are too many unexpected things today, and I suddenly felt that our intelligence work can be said to be the same as nothing, and we don't know anything, it's all after the fact.
Milk shook his head and said, "Who knows? Didn't you say that dogs that bite don't bark? Anyway, Ke Qiman's posture shows that he is quite confident in the ability of his team. β
"Confidence? Then why do you have to bring someone with Yoich? The people brought here, how many people are they going to put in to attack the earl? Do you really want to eat the Earl in one fell swoop? I asked.
"I think Ke Qiman looks like that. It seems that we all underestimated Ke Qiman, and this person is still quite bold when it comes to making big decisions. Milk said and looked at the few people who came to pick up Jojic and whispered, "I heard that Jojic will come with more than a hundred people, as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition. Together with the Count, there must have been four or five hundred men in all. It's almost an all-out attack. β
"So many people?" I was suddenly a little tempted, because with so many people attacking the Earl, it was entirely possible that they would really get Kochiman and them to succeed.
Milk looked at me and said, "What? Do you want to take advantage of the fire? β
I looked at him and didn't speak, only to see Milk continue: "I advise you not to think about it, what kind of level these armed groups are here, we still haven't fully figured it out. Originally, we thought Ivanovic and Petkovic were the main players, but they were wiped out in one day. Then we thought that the Count was just a man of the money to recruit some experienced armed men, but in fact the Count was quite professional and very good at fighting. Then we always felt that Ke Qiman was the one who seized the opportunity to take control of this armed group, but in fact, Ke Qiman's team was also quite combative. So I think we should just don't do anything, just watch quietly, maybe the whole situation will inexplicably reverse? Don't forget, the Count is in collusion with the NATO gang, and his gang is quite powerful here. Maybe the men who supported him were already on their way. β
I have to say that what Milk said makes a lot of sense. I was really impulsive at that moment. Now that I think about it, as Milk said, we don't really know about this place, let alone the power that each of the intricate forces here actually has. And the NATO mercenaries are a very big variable, if they suddenly appear, it must be quite a big trouble.
"Hey... Then let's be a spectator. In fact, it seems that we have a rare opportunity to be an audience. I sighed and finally smiled.
"That's it. However, Ke Qiman also said that he would borrow our place as a rear, stack some supplies, and place the bodies of the wounded and dead at zero hour. Milk said.
I nodded and said, "Yes, of course this is fine." But I hope they can kill the Count. Otherwise, if they are defeated, the Earl will come after them and we, the spectators, will suffer. β
Milk looked at me and said, "Probably not." If that's the case, we'll be at the forefront right away. β
"I have to guard against it. As I said, we don't know much about this. I glanced at the station, "But the people brought by MiriΔ can be united." They seem to have a grudge against the earl, and they basically have no opinion on beating the earl. β
Milk gestured to the armed group resting and eating on the side of the road, "Is that the group?" β
"Yes. That's them. The leaders of these people are in the station, and I will take you to meet them. I said.
Milk nodded, "Mirich has helped a lot this time." β
"When will that Yojic arrive?" I asked.
"About two o'clock in the afternoon." Milk replied.
I nodded, "I'll meet with those people in a moment and tell them all about the situation." Look what those people have to say, these people should be better informed than we are. β
When we got back to the barracks, I introduced you to Milk. Then Milk told what he knew without any reservations. After Milk had finished speaking, I looked at the others and said, "Guys, I would like to ask a question, that is, can the Count withstand such an attack?" β
Milic looked at the three men, and the first to speak was the priest Vukovic. He touched the big cross on his chest and said, "If the Count had been so easily destroyed, he would have gone to hell a long time ago." I don't think he's going to lose it so easily this time. β
Trovic finally took the M35 steel helmet off his head, touched his hand back and forth, and then looked up and said, "Although I have always wanted to go to the Earl's house, but... He shrugged his shoulders and said, "He's better than you think." When it comes to life and death, everyone is facing more than just the earl. β
"What do you mean? Could it be that the Count also has many allies? But don't they seek to protect themselves when they are in trouble? I asked.
"Leader of the Great Disaster?" Trovic smiled and said, "Who said that the catastrophe took the lead?" β
Not only did he laugh, but also Brods, who said: "The Count also has friends, and there is a most crucial problem, the Count is willing to spend money. When it comes to uniting others, the Count is not just coercing, he prefers inducement, and he is heavy-handed. And it will be honored afterwards, so if he sends out a reward for reinforcements from the armed groups that are friendly with him, then someone will come. β
"And the number of people who came is not much more than the people you just said are coming for reinforcements." Trovic added.
"I see." I heard Brodz say that and looked at Milk, and it was really not a complicated thing here.
Milk shook his head and looked at me, "Looks like we should talk about what we're going to do if they fail." β
Hearing Milk's words, the priest Vukovich looked up at him and said, "Are you afraid that after they are defeated, the Count will chase them all the way?" β
"That's right. If it's a retreat in the face of difficulties and an orderly retreat, that's fine. If it's a big rout, it's just a matter of seconds. Milk said.
Vukovic thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, even if the Count repels your men, it will be difficult for him to attack you again. β
"Why? Doesn't he want to kill us all? If someone else took advantage of the emptiness of my lair to carry out a sneak attack, then I must have hated this person in my heart. I said.
Vukovic smiled and said: "It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't have the ability for the time being." From the moment we entered the Earl's domain, I found that his power was scattered. Not as concentrated as before, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to storm all the way to his big warehouse, not far from the big warehouse of the Count's castle. β
"Why is that? Could it be that the repeated battles have caused him to lose too many men? I asked.
"Not really, at least not the main reason." Vukovic said, "The Count is an extremely cautious man, and it is difficult to make him pay a heavy price. The reason for his current dispersion of power comes from his expansion. His power has been expanding a bit too quickly lately. Some people say that he wants to seek an official identity in the Kosovo government, to be a big warlord in the true sense of the word. There are also people who say that the Count cooperates with NATO and wants to be an agent of NATO, and some people say that the Count wants to establish a new Kosovo Liberation Army, but in any case, the expansion of his personnel and equipment cannot keep up with the needs of his territory and the illegal business he does. Coupled with the losses in this successive battle, I said that it may not be possible to eat the Earl, but it is unlikely that the Earl will pursue and attack here. β
"It's better to come. I can just try my two MG42s again. Trovic said as he buckled the M35 helmet to his head.
I looked at them, thought for a moment, and said, "This time you participated in the attack on the earl, aren't you afraid that the earl will retaliate against you afterwards?" β
The question made the three of them look at each other, and after a moment Brotz smiled and spoke.
