Chapter 558: Reactions from all sides
Chapter 945: Reaction from all sides
The scene of the temporary press conference.
The conditions are a little simple, a large wooden house, the roof is still covered with a mixture of dry grass and mud, it will definitely collapse in the event of a heavy rainstorm, fortunately, there is not much rain, and it is useful to survive, but no one in the international press corps dislikes this kind of place, and they are afraid that they will not be able to enter and grab first-hand news.
On this morning, the press corps came to the wooden house one after another, and everyone had not yet recovered from the shock, they were all combat reporters, and it was not unheard of to be on the front line, but a scene like the night, everyone saw it for the first time, and their most elite troops, the airborne troops, were beaten and had no power to fight back, which made everyone have to re-examine this war.
Of course, re-examining does not mean that everyone will feel that they can win, but they are considering what kind of price they have to pay to win, with their national strength, they can completely use thunder means to win in one fell swoop, but at the beginning they made a mistake of underestimating the enemy's rash advance, and sent 10,000 people to watch the excitement, but most of them were captured and left behind, and it was difficult to turn back the situation.
Everyone thinks that it can be taken within a week, as long as a large number of missiles are thrown, they will be blown into a pot of paste, and then the ground forces will follow up, there is no problem at all, objectively speaking, this is also the truth, the fault is that everyone underestimated the combat effectiveness of the outbreak.
War is like playing chess, one wrong step is one wrong step, and if you want to make up for it, you must pay a certain price.
Familiar reporters discussed various conclusions with each other, everyone unconsciously walked into the wooden house, the guard army guarded the four directions, verified the truth and let them in, the victory of the war, every soldier of the guard army was full of joy, some reporters keenly captured this day, a few close-ups were taken, and a new news subject was born.
The press corps sat down and waited for a while, everyone was talking about last night's war, exchanging their opinions, and the final focus came down to the casualty figures, the black lights were blind, no one knew how many paratroopers came, and no one knew the casualties of the paratroopers.
"The Chief of the General Staff has arrived." One of the guards shouted.
After a while, Thunder Xiaolong walked in, went up to the rostrum, glanced around at the press corps, and said indifferently: "Let me tell you a piece of news before the press conference, everyone has seen the sneak attack of the paratroopers last night, and a thousand paratroopers have been killed by our side, okay, now let's start asking questions." The tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
As soon as the news came out, the audience blew up and raised their hands one after another, and the scene was very excited, and a reporter immediately said after getting the opportunity to ask a question: "May I ask Your Excellency, Chief of the General Staff, what I heard just now is that Your Excellency used the word 'killed', does it mean that a thousand paratroopers have no survivors?" ”
"Yes, they were very brave, they did not surrender to the last time, as soldiers, I admire their courage and will to fight, at the same time, I sympathize with their suffering, for the benefit of some politicians, they lost their lives in a foreign land, this is the sorrow of a real soldier." Lei Tingxiao pretended to be sad and said.
"Wow!" Once again, everyone let out an exclamation.
A reporter was given the opportunity to ask a question and hurriedly asked: "Your Excellency the Honorable Chief of the General Staff, does the fact that each country has the strength to defeat a thousand paratroopers means that your country already has the strength to confront it head-on?" ”
"You asked this question very well, last night's victory does not explain anything, one side is a sneak attack, the other side is a counter-sneak attack, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, it is not surprising, if we talk about confrontation with head-on, it depends on that angle, objectively speaking, from the military and comprehensive national strength, we have no way to confront at all, but from the point of view of morale, our people are united, united as one, and can completely confront and confront." Lei Tingxiao said with a serious face.
At this moment, everyone found that this chief of general staff is also not a simple person, he speaks like a big president, he is false and real, he can't understand which is true and which is false, he is not easy to fool, he is not easy to fool, and he is very cautious.
"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, when I came, I heard from a friend that the media in your country reported that the president of your country was injured, is this true?" A reporter who was asked a question asked.
"That's right, it's true, this morning's local newspaper can see the news, the president was plotted when he went to an air show, fortunately, the president is auspicious, and his life is not in danger, but I am afraid that the peace talks will not be held as scheduled." Lei Tingxiao said heavily.
"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, after your country defeats the former paratroopers, it will definitely make some moves, I don't know how your country will respond?" A reporter who has been given the right to ask questions asked.
"What can I do? It has always been a passive acceptance of this war, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the war has been like this so far, and it has always been a victory, which is nothing to worry about, this little tattered thing, if it is broken, it will be broken, and it will be rebuilt if it is broken, but whoever dares to fight must have the consciousness of paying the corresponding price, because it is not easy to bully. Lei Tingxiao said categorically.
"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, when will the presidents of the countries recover? Can we go and see him? After reporter Li Bing got the right to ask questions, he immediately asked the question he was most concerned about.
Lei Tingxiao glanced at Li Bing suspiciously, and then smiled: "Thank you for your concern, the president is not in danger of life, but he needs to recuperate, and he will naturally meet you when he recovers, I hope you can understand." ”
In Xiangshan Juyuan, the chairman who was recuperating looked at Tang Zhi who rushed over to report on the work and smiled: "Look at you in a hurry, why are you so anxious?" ”
"Chairman, I was attacked by the Airborne Forces last night." Tang Zhi hurriedly said, and went up to the stool next to him.
"Oh? Is it to rescue their prisoners of war? The result? The chairman asked in surprise. He is worthy of being the lord of a country, and his eyes are very spicy, and he can guess the opponent's combat intentions when he hears a short sentence.
"The result was unexpected, a thousand paratroopers sneak attacked, but they were ambushed, no one was born, no prisoners were captured, and all of them were killed." Tang Zhi said briefly.
"Won?" The Chair asked rhetorically.
"Won." Tang Zhi replied happily.
"Why are you in such a hurry after winning the war?" The chairman smiled and said.
"It's because we won the battle that we were in trouble." Tang Zhi said helplessly.
"Huh?" The chairman was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and sighed: "Yes, this time it is trouble, the president has lost a lot of face this time, there is no step down, there is no way to retreat, but he has a tough image, which is very in line with the cultural characteristics of personal heroism, it is unlikely that he will step down, and I am afraid that the next step will be to launch a large-scale war, and there will be great difficulties." ”
"This is also what I'm worried about, if I raise the strength of the whole country to strike, I can't stop it at all, I'm worried about Commander Zhao's safety." Tang Zhi said truthfully.
"Don't worry for the time being, as long as you hold on to the prisoners of war, you won't dare to mess around, if you don't rescue the prisoners of war, you won't start a large-scale war, and in the next step, I estimate that I will put things within the framework to negotiate, so that the prisoners of war can be fished out in the name of humanitarianism, and when it comes, it will be a catastrophe." The chairman is calculating and sees the essence of things at a glance.
Seeing Tang Zhi's contemplative and worried face, the chairman persuaded: "Don't worry, can't you run if you can't beat it?" With Commander Zhao's ability, if they want to run, who can stop them? Besides, things are not unsolvable, judging from Commander Zhao's repeated miracles, maybe he will create unexpected miracles again. ”
"I hope so." Tang Zhi said with a sigh.
In the presidential palace, in the presidential round table office, the president glanced around at the senior staff, and said with a gloomy face: "Everyone, I have heard about the situation, let's talk about it, what should we do next?" ”
"Your Excellency, in my opinion, we should follow the established strategic policy, take the warriors home first, and then say, without containment, we can let go of our hands and feet, I propose, put the matter within the framework to advance, say hello to those few people, and force the release of the warriors to go home in the name of humanitarianism." An older senior counselor calmly suggested.
As soon as everyone heard this, they all felt that their eyes lit up, since it is inconvenient to come forward to solve this problem, then put it within the framework to solve it, let the force make concessions, if you do not comply, you can completely use various means and methods to sanction, when you go, you can also form a joint army to attack at the same time, not to mention the name, the strength of the combined army is absolutely different, at least there is no need to independently support this war.
"This proposal is good, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will immediately implement it and urge this matter to be implemented immediately. As for the negotiations, to hell with it, let the humanitarian organizations talk, it is better if the talks are deadlocked, and they can justifiably form a coalition army to attack, and they are legally justified. The Secretary of State was quick to affirm.
"I think it's okay, and in addition, the military will immediately come up with a brand new battle plan, and I will solve the government within a week, and re-cultivate a new government that is in line with our interests." The president also made a decisive decision.
"I suggest that we immediately use diplomatic means to force those companies and countries that sell weapons to cancel their orders immediately. A senior staff member immediately put forward a proposal to draw his own salary.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to do over there, they voted negative, they won't agree, according to our intelligence officers' investigation, but they signed an order for a hundred fighter jets." The director said.
"This is easy to do, you can urge the countries on the island chain to relax a little bit, let them breathe a little, and you can also issue a statement, reiterate the treasure island consensus, give them a little bit of empty sweetness, let them live happily for a while, and when they are cleaned up, they can tighten the island chain when the time comes." The president said indifferently.
"Yes, the president is smart." Everyone tacitly agreed, and they all laughed.
