"You can only defend against each other, and that's okay." Liu Yan nodded and said, "Then why do you want to go to that place in the Middle East for actual combat testing?" Do you think that those guerrillas have the ability to threaten the regular army, which is equipped with all kinds of advanced weaponry? Now is not the time for a war of law and order, and those guerrillas cannot really threaten the M Army stationed in the Middle East, let alone the GDI, which has more advanced technology and equipment. So what's the point of going to the Middle East? In addition to the reason of ensuring that the supply of crude oil returns to normal. ”

"Because at this time in the Middle East, it is already different from when you were there before, and the situation in some areas is more complicated."

"Have the Sijing people intensified their raids there?"

"Then I won't say that it's different, but that there is a drastic change - it's the Brotherhood that has increased its investment in that area, which can be regarded as a direct shot." Lin Hai waved his hand and stopped these topics, although there was still a lot of time, he didn't plan to waste time on this topic, anyway, he had already said what he should say, and let Liu Yan go to the battlefield to see the rest of the specific situation, "You will lead a combat battalion to the GDI station in the Middle East, and a total of thirty sets of K-type armor that participated in the test have also been transported there in advance, you just go and join them." ”

The next day, Liu Yan didn't waste much time arriving at a GDI base called Sandru somewhere in the Middle East, which was responsible for the defense of several nearby cities and the security of an oil field 100 kilometers away from the base.

"I'm sorry, Major Liu." In the base headquarters, a GDI colonel stood in front of Liu Yan and said with a look of embarrassment, "Because the oil field we are responsible for defending has just been attacked again, and the troops stationed there are difficult to resist, so Major General Carlson personally brought people to support, and without his permission, your special combat battalion cannot be dispatched for the time being." ”

"It's because there are friendly forces in need of support that we need to go out immediately!" Looking at the colonel in front of him who was biting the order, Liu Yan also had a headache, although the experiment was carried out at this base, but the base commander, Major General Carlson, didn't know what to think, and actually issued a special combat battalion from the General Headquarters in advance without his direct order, and the special combat battalion from the General Headquarters was not allowed to leave the base to fight, "Besides, Colonel Bhim, we have orders from the General Headquarters, and we shouldn't need to get the permission of Major General Carlson to act, right?" ”

"After all, this place is under the command of Major General Carlson, and all your logistics supplies here are also guaranteed by this base, if you don't have a good relationship, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome in the future." Colonel Beam still reassured, "I'm not trying to intimidate you, but Major General Carlson really doesn't have a good impression of the person who has been parachuted in, and I dare to tell you the truth while he is not at the base now." What's more, you're just here, let alone resting, and you shouldn't even have seen your subordinates yet, right? Anyway, it's just a little more time, and I can't delay anything. If you disobey this time and have to leave the base yourself—you have to know that this area is in the hands of Major General Carlson, who is arguably the ruler of the area. ”

"Does he consider himself a warlord?" Liu Yan couldn't help but roar out in a low voice, fortunately, his voice was not loud, and the GDI soldiers around him did not focus their eyes on them, but the face of Colonel Beame in front of him was a little pale.

The colonel grabbed Liu Yan's arm and dragged him out of the headquarters, but he still said loudly: "Come on, major, I'll take you to the camp of your combat camp first, meet your subordinates, and then get familiar with this base after settling down." ”

Although he didn't understand Colonel Beam's purpose in doing this, Liu Yan still kept his mouth shut sensibly and let the other party drag him out of the base headquarters and outside.

As soon as the two of them walked to the open area, and there were vehicles passing by around them, Colonel Beame was a little angry and shouted at Liu Yan in a low voice: "You idiot! Didn't they give you an account when you came? Actually said that incident at the headquarters! ”

"Huh?" The other party inexplicably came up with such words, and Liu Yan, who was confused by the second monk, only felt that he seemed to have been cheated by someone again.

"Don't you know anything?!" Seeing the blank expression on Liu Yan's face, Colonel Bim almost jumped up, and his voice was raised a little, but then he forcibly pressed him down, "Hell, weren't you sent by the General Headquarters to assist me?" How can you not know anything?! ”

"I'm sorry, I really don't know what you're talking about." Liu Yan had no choice but to answer honestly, "I was only ordered to come to carry out the combat mission of testing experimental equipment and assist the local garrison in restoring order in the region, as for other matters, I did not receive any orders." ”

"Shet!" The colonel stomped his feet and said angrily, "What are you doing up there!" It's all messed up here, and a bunch of people who don't understand anything have been sent! ”

"I'm sorry, Colonel Bhim, I really don't know what you mean, maybe you misunderstood something, and the person you have to wait for may arrive after us?" Liu Yan, who only guessed but couldn't be sure, had to comfort the other party, "Are you from the GDI Intelligence Bureau?" ”

"Yes, it's all right." Colonel Beame said, "I'm from the Intelligence Bureau, and you're waiting for support, and that's what I was told from above!" ”

"Well, I guess I guessed what happened." Thinking of his old friend who liked to hide secrets more and more, and often only half of his talk, Liu Yan felt a little itchy teeth, he was already thinking about settling accounts afterwards, "Before coming here, General Lin Hai just told me that the situation here was complicated, and he wanted me to see it with my own eyes before carrying out the mission, and he didn't say anything in advance, but I also worked in the Intelligence Bureau for a period of time before, so I thought that this might be testing me." ”

"Testing you? At this time? Colonel Beam was a little incredulous, but at this point, he couldn't make any changes to the plans of the higher-ups, not to mention that he didn't have much time to waste now, "Forget it, since this is already the case, then you can first go with me to the station of your combat camp, which is also one of the most classified places in the base at the moment, and when you get there, I will talk to you about the situation here." ”

"Need to be so careful? So Major General Carlson plans to surrender to the Sijing people, or does he plan to become a wall-riding faction and become a warlord to wait for the price to be sold? ”

Colonel Beam looked at Liu Yan in surprise, he didn't expect that a person who claimed to be unclear about the situation in this place could judge the reason for the whole thing in a few words, which made him a little impressed with Liu Yan, and he also put away some careful thoughts.

"Well, it looks like I guessed right." Liu Yan sighed, "I originally thought that I was just here to test weapons and quell the rebellion, but I didn't expect to have to deal with internal problems." But I don't understand, if there is a problem with the cleansing, why didn't the above remove him immediately? ”

"Because it can't be done." Colonel Beam shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Major General Carlson is not something that GDI can transfer through internal processes for the time being, unless we have enough evidence on our hands. This base was originally owned by Army M, and when the mainland of Country M was attacked, most of the original garrisons of this base were transferred back to the mainland to participate in the battle, and only a few hundred people were left to defend ......"

"It's a bit difficult for such a large base to be guarded by only a few hundred people, right?" Glancing at the dense barracks, warehouses, and large runways around him, Liu Yan interjected, "I thought that the people of country M had directly abandoned all overseas bases and transferred all their troops back to China." ”

"It depends on what place it is, the M Army has indeed given up many bases around the world to concentrate its forces and return to China, but some of the extremely important strongholds have not been abandoned, and they are still preserving as much as possible, and this base is one of them. But as you can see, country M has provoked a lot of opponents over the years, and now that they are in trouble, all the things that they could still suppress with their strong national strength and military strength have come out. Fortunately, those who took advantage of the weakness of country M and planned to sweep away the remaining influence of country M in one fell swoop were even more, and this base, which was seriously underfortified, naturally became one of the targets of attack. It was only with the establishment of GDI that many armed groups were attacked by GDI, as before, that this seriously understaffed base survived various attacks in the early days, and was later handed over by Army M, or temporarily loaned to GDI. ”

"And what about Major General Carlson?"

"He was originally the commander of Army M in charge of this base, but he was transferred back to the mainland to fight at that time, and was later reassigned. However, when Army M was unable to continue to defend the base, it could only be handed over to GDI, because the M side still had the idea of retaining the ownership of the base after the war, so an agreement was reached with the Security Council, that is, the commander of the base would still be the general of Army M, and the general himself could be incorporated into the GDI and accept part of the command of the GDI, but the GDI did not have the right to transfer the base commander himself. ”

"Part of the conductor? In other words, the GDI side can order the major general to take on the responsibility of maintaining order around the base and providing logistical supplies to the base, but it does not have the right to transfer personnel to the top management of the base? ”

"That's it."

"What kind of condition is this? Who would still agree? ”

"Compared with the need to invest a lot of money and resources to re-establish a large base, it is better to have a ready-made nature, and although the base commander was sent by the M army, he was originally the commander here, and he is more familiar with the environment, which is more suitable for the Security Council, and although the base commander cannot be deployed at will, he still has to obey the orders of the GDI, a subordinate organ of the Security Council, which is not too unfavorable for the people above, so it is so recognized."

"So it has evolved into the current situation where the tail is too big to fall?"
