Chapter 258: Revenge

Hearing Zhang Longchu say this, he stood up and sat on his right hand, Amusha on the plain carpet hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Your Majesty, if it was before, of course this kind of thing would not have happened, but in the current situation, the plot of those religious madmen in Apudawang is very likely to be realized." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Apudawang area is rich in various metal ores, which used to be inconvenient for mining and transportation because of the mountains and woodlands, so the value is not large, but now because of the relationship between the red cloud invaders, iron, tungsten, magnesium... The price of ore has increased by more than 3 times, and the value of those mines is suddenly highlighted.

I speculate that those religious extremists are now taking several steps, first using profit temptation or terrorist attack coercion to force the surrounding forces to open up trade, so that while using their own mineral advantages to accumulate funds, they also give the outside world the illusion that they are no longer extremist religious organizations, slowly whitewash, and then the next step..."

He was talking endlessly, when he suddenly saw an old man wearing a plain white robe and trousers with a collar and cuffs embroidered with gold trim, and his face was full of wrinkles, and he walked into the side hall quickly, quickly closed his mouth, and bowed slightly to the old man with Jin Xun who was sitting opposite.

The old man nodded imperceptibly to the two of them, came to Zhang Longchu's side, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Governor Liu is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

"Is Junshan here, I have already said that if he wants to see me, you can come to see me directly, but this guy is always so polite," Zhang Longchu smiled and said, "Hurry up and let him in, Uncle Pu." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." At the beginning of Zhang Long's fortune, he followed him as a housekeeper, and Pu Xin, who was already the head of the Sarawak court at this moment, had long since disappeared from the previous noise and rusticism, and when the lord's voice landed, he replied with a respectful but rather elegant attitude, and walked out of the palace quickly.

In less than 1 minute later, Liu Junshan strolled into the side hall, didn't look at Amusha and Jin Xun, who stood up and bowed to him, and knelt directly at Zhang Longchu's feet, and said in a straightforward and deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am very responsible for the terrorist attack in Kuching's West City.

The Apudawan people asked Sarawak to open trade with them two months ago, but I felt that they were really the biggest cancer on Kalimantan and must not be given a chance to grow, so they flatly refused..."

"It's not your fault, Junshan, it's not you," Zhang Longchu interrupted Liu Junshan's words, stood up, and personally helped him up, "If it were me, I would also reject those religious maniacs."

It's something an idiot wouldn't do to make a deal with a madman who casually straps a bomb on his body and detonates it in the downtown area...", he suddenly turned his head to look at Amusha, "But according to the statement of the Apdawang people, it seems that the Sabah government has done it, Amusha?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Amisha replied without hesitation: "Unlike Sarawak, whose economy has become more and more favorable under your wise rule, Sabah, which is resource-poor and warlord-owned, has been burdened with logistical supplies for the allied forces of Southeast Asia to resist the Red Cloud invaders, and the economy is about to collapse.

In this case, after being bewitched and threatened by the Apdawang people, in order to avoid unwarranted disasters, and more importantly, to earn huge fees through mid-market trade, they agreed to the conditions of those religious maniacs to open trade.

However, in the early stages, because the reputation of the religious extremists in Apdawang was so bad, all transactions were carried out in secret. ”

"Is it..."Hearing this, Zhang Longchu's eyes flashed with a sharp light and muttered to himself, pondered for a moment, and turned his gaze to Liu Junshan, "Junshan, you immediately issue a statement in the name of the Sarawak government, making public the content of the secret contact between the Apudawang people and us, and then make it clear that the Sarawakians will never compromise with these religious maniacs."

Then he expressed his desire to Sabah and the local armed forces of the three Indonesian states bordering the mountainous region of Apudawang to jointly encircle and suppress the religious extremists in Apudawang. ”

When the words landed, Liu Junshan immediately nodded and replied without objection: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

At this time, Zhang Longchu had already turned his head to look at Amusha and Jin Xun, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said sharply: "Amusha and Jin Xun, you must cooperate closely in the recent period and ensure that terrorist attacks like today's heavy casualties do not happen again, understand?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hearing the lord say this, knowing that at least today's dereliction of duty has been dealt with in the past, Amusha and Jin Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and replied respectfully in unison, and then retired to Zhang Longchu with Liu Junshan, and strolled out of the side hall.

Seeing the disappearance of the backs of the three people, Zhang Longchu's face flickered uncertainly for a while, and finally flashed a look of determination, and then he summoned Hong Shan, chief of the general staff of the Sarawak Guard Army, and issued an order for the whole army to prepare for assembly.

Three days later, after receiving a reply from Basha and the three states of Indonesia that they were unwilling to send troops to encircle and suppress the religious extremists in Apdawang on various grounds, Zhang Longchu brazenly announced that he would send troops alone to declare war on the religious extremists in the Apdawang region and avenge the people who had unfortunately lost their lives and were seriously injured in the terrorist attacks.

Such a casus belli is moral and axiomatic from the point of view of morality and justice.

Even the heads of government and senior bureaucrats of Southeast Asian countries privately believe that against the backdrop of increasing pressure from Kalimantan to invade Kalimantan, the dispatch of two armies and 120,000 well-trained soldiers to avenge the death and wounding of less than 100 ordinary people killed or injured by the bombing is a complete manifestation of disregard for the overall situation and a broken brain.

However, in public, they can only express their attitude with praise or silence, and the most excessive manifestation is the prediction of the crow's beak that the Sarawak National Defense Force's large-scale military operation will probably not achieve any practical results, and the probability of failure is about 50 percent, and this inference has also been recognized by some military scientists.

After all, for hundreds of years, religious extremists in the Apudawang Mountains have survived countless large-scale joint military encirclements and crackdowns in Malaysia and Indonesia.

In no less than 10 encirclement and suppression, the number of government troops dispatched by the two countries exceeded 200,000, but all of them were defeated due to special reasons such as the fact that all the people in the mountains were soldiers and the terrain remained unchanged.

It was also because the young sultan of Sarawak once led a mixed division that was hastily formed into an army, and he miraculously defeated the 300,000 coalition troops of the old forces of Sarawak, which increased the probability of victory and defeat of the warring sides to half of each.

Zhang Longchu ignored all the pessimistic speculations of the outside world, and immediately after the declaration of war, he led an army of 120,000 troops to march urgently, and arrived in the hilly area of the Apu Dawang Mountains bordering the Sarawak country in the evening of the next day.

As the sun sets, the mountains hundreds of meters away are covered with a fiery red glow.

Sitting in the co-pilot seat of an off-road jeep in the vanguard position of the unit, looking at the mountain peaks rising from the ground in the distance and soaring straight into the clouds, Zhang Longchu touched the intercom on his left hand side and gave an order: "Okay, the rapid march is over, the whole army will rest for one hour, and all officers at or above the regimental level will come to see me." ”

When the words landed, the driver had already wisely stepped on the brakes, and when the car stopped, Zhang Longchu directly pushed the door and jumped out of the jeep.

After waiting for a while in the afterglow of the setting sun, the two corps, nearly 100 regimental commanders, counselors, and staff officers all trotted behind him, and stood upright in an orderly manner inside and outside according to their positions.

After that, Hong Shan, the chief of the general staff of the Sarawak Defense Forces, who was standing at the forefront, stepped forward and reported with a loud salute: "Your Majesty, all regimental regiments have been assembled, please instruct." ”

"There is nothing to instruct," Standing at the highest point of a hill, Zhang Longchu turned slowly, his eyes swept over the resolute and adoring faces of the Wehrmacht officers, smiled, and said: "I plan to carry out this attack on the Apudawang Mountains alone, and your task is to lead the army and block the entire border line, not even a single ant can be missed."

In addition, the site of the camp must be at least 300 meters away from the forest, which is the most important discipline, and violators will be severely punished. ”

Hearing this, some of the officers' expressions became slightly relaxed, and some showed a hint of disappointment, but no matter what their mood was, they all saluted in unison and shouted, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

It was only after this answer that Hong Shan, who was closest to Zhang Longchu, had a look of shame on his face, and said softly: "Every time you fight a tough battle, you have to let Your Majesty personally take action to ensure victory, which is the dereliction of duty of our soldiers..."

"Don't say that, Your Excellency my Chief of General Staff," Zhang Longchu shook his head and interrupted him: "Our Salad is more and more isolated overseas, the country is small and weak, and every soldier is a precious asset, so I will choose to exchange victory for the least price, how can this be said to be your dereliction of duty."

Moreover, the responsibility of encircling and suppressing you this time is also very heavy, and after a while, the defense line is likely to be violently attacked by the desperate Apudawang mountain people, and then remember that no matter how unsatisfactory the enemy is to be a soldier, you must not be relentless. ”

"I understand, Your Majesty," replied Hong Shan's voice firmly, "I have heard more than once about the tragedy of the women and children in the Apudawang Mountains who had bombs strapped to their bodies and took advantage of the sympathy of others to detonate in the barracks.

We will never be stupid enough to show mercy to these madmen. ”

"It's good to understand that." Hearing this, Zhang Longchu said with a satisfied expression on his face, "Then disband." After that, carrying his strange backpack, he turned around and jumped dozens of meters and disappeared into the jungle in the distance. (To be continued.) )
