"But now you can't ignore the Middle East." Discussing with Liu Yan in a whisper again, Lin Hai also shook his head for a while, Liu Yan also said his opinion to him just now, and Lin Hai's opinion is similar, for the security war in the Middle East, the main purpose is the GDI army unit that fights with the regular army corps, and the full rearmed troops can confront the ground forces of the Sijing people, but they are not suitable for this kind of public security war.

"That location is important, not to mention the impact of losing it on global energy demand, which is already a headache just now." Liu Yan said, "I received information two days ago that global crude oil prices have risen wildly, there is an oil shortage everywhere, and many countries have already used strategic oil reserves. ”

"They can't sit still anymore." Lin Hai sighed and said, "Why do you think I hesitate on this issue?" Originally, I had already decided to transfer all the active troops to country Y, and first drive the Sijing people out of London, so that they could turn London into a Taijing production area, and then I could concentrate my troops to North America. But now? ”

"Did the Security Council put pressure on GDI?" Liu Yan, who was all focused on gathering intelligence on the Brotherhood, naturally did not know about the above matters, although this matter was related to the actions of the Brotherhood, he did not seem to notice this.

"It's not about pressure, their attitude is not so tough, they know that we are supporting them, and it is impossible to speak in that way of superiors and subordinates." Lin Hai replied, "But it can also be regarded as a reminder that I can't continue like this, the global economy because of the war with the Sijing people, especially after the attack on country M has caused a huge impact on the global financial market, if the energy market is affected again, then everyone can only turn to the wartime economy to continue the war, not like now, without turning to the wartime economy to maintain." ”

"The problem of side effects, right? They probably didn't want the war to be too fierce, and it would be very fatal to recover from the war. ”

"How can it be if it's not tragic?" Lin Hai sneered, "According to preliminary statistics, since New York fell into the hands of the Sijing people, nearly 10 million people have been killed or injured in this war, and this is still the data under the condition that we are currently in a certain advantage. Don't they think it's a tragic statistic? Does it have to kill half of the human population to be considered tragic? ”

"Speaking of the Security Council, aren't countries M, Y, and F still in a hurry? They have been beaten, the people of country M have lost a large area of land, the capital of country Y is still in the hands of others, and the people of country F have also been attacked several times. ”

"They have their own differences. Naturally, the people of country Y support GDI to go all out to reinforce country Y, but countries Z and E hope that we will give priority to stabilizing the global energy market and ensuring that the social operation of each country does not have problems. They haven't quite decided yet, so they can only give me a reminder. ”

"And what do you think? You can't let them keep arguing like this, right? Looking at the generals at the table who were all over fifty years old but had plenty of energy, Liu Yan asked worriedly, "Is it okay to waste your time here?" ”

"Because I haven't decided yet." Lin Hai rubbed his temples, and his face was melancholy, "The Middle East is a chicken rib for us, but it is very important for the entire human world, if there is a little more time, let us change the world's energy, and transform people's strong demand for fossil energy into all-electric energy, the status of the Middle East will naturally decline, and we don't need to make a difficult choice at this time." ”

"There is no way, at that time, our vision was not far enough, in order to protect ourselves with technology, we only carried out technical assistance in a small area, and did not fully enter the energy market." Speaking of this matter, Liu Yan is relatively clear, and his advice to Lin Hai on this matter also tends to be conservative, "I didn't expect that the scale of the war would be so large now, even beyond our original preparations." ”

"It's too late to change the world's energy market, and we can't turn hundreds of millions of gas-burning cars around the world into electric vehicles in a short period of time, so we really can't ignore that piece of land in the Middle East. However, it is difficult to ensure that the energy supply does not have problems at a time when heavy military support is needed everywhere. Personally, I prefer to prioritize the war in country Y, preferably by entering London within this month, at least in a corner of the city, and preparing for the complete recovery of London. In this case, it really makes me embarrassed to ask us to send our troops to the Middle East. Speaking of this, Lin Hai looked at Liu Yan, "You have not been in the Middle East for a short time, even longer than me, what good suggestions can stabilize the Middle East region in a short period of time, so that our main force can solve country Y first?" ”

"What advice can I have?" Liu Yan hurriedly replied, "Although I have been in the Middle East for several months, I am basically fighting at the grassroots level, and I only know part of the situation around the station, and I have to give good advice, and it is not enough for me to do this." ”

Lin Hai shook his head slightly, and muttered with some distress: "In the past, when those guys didn't get the support of the Brotherhood and the Sijing people, our combat drones suppressed them with excellent results, and only tens of thousands of attack bees were needed to protect those oil fields and refineries, but since those guys provided electromagnetic pulse bombs to the extremist armed group, our drones can only protect the major bases, and can no longer participate in encirclement and suppression operations!" Now where am I going to find so many people to fill the gap in combat UAVs? ”

"What does country Z say?" Liu Yan asked, "This time, 300,000 troops were sent to participate in the GDI military operation, and this is only the first batch, and there should be more troops involved in the future, right?" ”

"Where can a second group of troops be sent so quickly." Lin Hai rolled his eyes, "The first batch of troops has actually been trained for a long time in China, and there are soldiers from country Z who have entered GDI in advance to provide actual combat experience, so they can come in handy as soon as they enter the battlefield, although the second batch is also undergoing special training, but it is not possible to put it on the battlefield within a few days, and the corresponding equipment and materials also need some time to prepare, and they will not be able to go abroad in two or three months." What's more, after so many incidents on the European side, it is impossible for the country to immediately send people abroad to fight, and they must at least ensure domestic security before they talk about sending people again. 300,000 elite troops, where is it said that there is, you and I still know a thing or two about the situation in China, now is not the era of World War II that does not take human life seriously, without good training, is it difficult to use blood on the battlefield to learn experience? ”

"In other words, at present, all we can use is the original troops, plus 300,000 troops from country Z?" Liu Yan said in surprise, "But our stall is so big, we need garrisons everywhere, we need defense everywhere, how can this little force be used!" ”

"So, we need soldiers everywhere, but we don't have that many people to use them, so I'm asking the Security Council for the GDI's own conscription authority. It's a pity that most of the recruits who have been recruited are ordinary people with little experience, only a few are veterans who have served in the army, and most of the retired soldiers who have joined the army in various countries have already been called back in advance by various countries, and we can't grab their own country. Therefore, the recruits still do not dare to be easily sent to the meat grinder battlefield of the most general front, so they can only let them go to the second-line battle more gently, and the number of recruits we recruit ourselves is relatively small, and we can now rely on the veterans of the defense regiment who were made during the Iron Eagle period. ”

"Counting them, the number is not enough." Liu Yan naturally knew very well about the matter of the defense regiment, this was still something he and Lin Hai discussed together, so he knew the size, equipment, and number of peripheral legions established by the entire Iron Eagle Organization, "But I remember that the main force of the defense regiment is still guarding our base in Somalia, right?"

"Part of the base in Somalia, the other part in Alvincent, and some mobile units." Although Liu Yan didn't say it too clearly, Lin Hai still knew that the other party understood his thoughts, "In the Middle East, I plan to let the people of the defense regiment go, they have also carried out combat operations there before, and they are still relatively familiar with the local situation, although the number of people is not enough to control the entire Middle East region, but if it is only to protect the oil fields, plus the troops we originally stationed in the Middle East, it is still enough, as long as the oil supply is not too problematic, then we will have an explanation on the Security Council." ”

"But there are still some problems," Liu Yan said, "we can reinforce, and the Brotherhood can also provide more support to the rebel groups in the Middle East, they can't provide manpower, aren't there still Sijing people?" In this way, it does not make much sense for us to send 10,000 people to the Middle East. ”

"That's why I couldn't make up my mind. I also know that there are not enough people, and fighting the enemy is tantamount to playing fuel tactics. With another long sigh, Lin Hai said again, "It looks like we're going to have to bleed a lot to solve this problem." ”

"How?"

"Strengthen the EMP protection capability of UAVs and use a large number of UAVs to make up for the shortage of manpower. Anyway, the GDI in the Middle East Theater is basically on the defensive, and there is no need to really take the initiative to encircle and suppress those rebels, if we only use drones to reduce personnel losses and ensure the morale of the troops, it is more advantageous for us. ”

"If you use drones, not to mention whether Zhao Wu and those people will have any dissatisfaction, if you want to install EMP protection modules on all drones, the cost will be high. To be able to defend against the electromagnetic pulse weapons of the Sijing people, the effect of ordinary methods is not good, the M army has already suffered a lot in North America, their planes can't fly into the center of the ion storm at all, and they will lose control when they enter, whether it is a manned aircraft or a drone, they will all end up in the same situation, even if we have lost a lot of planes before we successfully found a suitable protective device. ”

"That's why I said that I have to pay blood, fortunately, the Brotherhood that provides arms to the rebels in the Middle East still has a gap in technology with the Sijing people, we need extremely high technical means to defend against the attack of the Sijing people, but the Brotherhood doesn't have to bother so much, and they can't provide too advanced weapons to those rebels who we only need to be serious about. Besides, a qualified soldier must be counted from his birth, grow up for 18 to 20 years, and then go through three months or even more than a year of training, and unmanned weapons only need to be turned on the assembly line to continue to manufacture, compared to using human lives to fill the battle line, what is the loss of some products. At least we'll have to hold out until we settle the war in country Y. The meaning of this sentence still proves that Lin Hai is not willing to focus on the Middle East in his heart, and he still wants to give priority to solving the war in country Y.
