With more than 5,000 defeated troops sweeping away 200,404 personnel, Yang Husheng's actions have greatly amazed the global parliament that regards 404 as a thorn in its side, and even regarded it as a crazy action. However www.biquge.info he once again demonstrated to the world how disparity the new interstellar army is from the traditional armed 404 secret police, and by three days he had occupied the entire center of Leirondo, annihilating and capturing most of the 100,000 404 men stationed on Leilondo. A part of the remnants of the 404th Bureau of Lei Longdo fled to the deserted area, and only a very few escaped to Alpha with Huo Shuxiang. Under the suppression of the Three Guardian Army, the remnants of Lei Longdo's 404 armed forces also surrendered or were eliminated in batches within a month, and Lei Longdo became Yang Husheng's world.

After the battle was settled, Huo Yang and the two began to attack each other fiercely. Huo Shuxiang called Yang Husheng "plotting rebellion", but the global parliament immediately issued a telegram, although it did not explicitly announce the illegality of 404, but expressed solidarity that Yang Husheng's actions "are only normal law enforcement within the authority of the appeasement director". Since it is normal law enforcement, it naturally has nothing to do with any rebellion.

Yang Husheng, who has the support of the global parliament, is much more justified in denouncing Huo Shuxiang. Originally, many strange things were found in the investigation of the attack on the warship of Chen Xiangda's fleet, and Xiao Duantao, director of the General Office of the 404th Bureau, who was on the verge of defection, confessed that the 404 planned the attack to lure the 3 Guardian Army into fighting with the rebels, so that the 404 System took the opportunity to reap the benefits. As soon as his testimony came out, it can be described as a world uproar. It's just that Xiao Duantao's testimony can only be called "lone evidence", and even if there is, the rest of the human and physical evidence are all controlled by Huo Shuxiang, although the global parliament wants to close Huo Shuxiang's small black house, but there is no sufficient evidence and manpower to deal with his remaining more than 100,000 secret police with weapons, so he did not act rashly.

Naturally, the two of them will not be limited to the main star and the three-star range, and the interstellar lawsuit will soon reach the front line. When they complained to me, these two men did not hold their faces half-covered as they did when the main star was powered, but did everything in their power to slander each other. There was this kind of dog-eat-dog behavior in my camp, and Ovemas would have just had to twist the flowers and smile to watch the excitement, but Huo Shuxiang bit him in again - Huo Shuxiang cited a lot of evidence to prove that Yang Husheng and Chen Xiangda violated organizational discipline, and had already had an improper relationship between men and women but did not report to the organization, and other serious violations of organizational discipline and the bad behavior of the request for instructions and reporting system. If it was two or three years ago, this incident could be said to be a good thing, a great joy that both sides were willing to accept, but at this time, the atmosphere between the two shogunates was becoming more and more tense, and it was easy for people to see a rebellious move by people as Yang Chen and Chen interacting privately without asking for instructions and reporting. So after this black letter of complaint was sent, no matter how sonorous and powerful Yang Husheng and Chen Xiangda's words attacking him were, they would seem a little lacking in confidence.

In the eyes of the main star, Yang Husheng carried out a surgical precision strike on 404, causing it to completely lose its influence on Leilondo. If the Three Protectors had not suffered such great losses at Adams, it would have been as easy as flipping the tide of the 404 forces to completely wipe them out, and the situation at that time was indeed the same. Although the global parliament has repeatedly hinted that Yang Husheng can provide sufficient human and material support if he wants to go further, because of his concerns, he did not carry out another military attack after wiping out all the forces of 404 from Leilongdo, but fought with Huo Shuxiang on the one hand, and used his power and influence in Samsung to urge the local government of Alpha to reduce the resource ration for 404, intending to slowly starve them to death with economic sanctions or starve them to the front line to beg for food. In this way, despite the heavy losses, 404 still stood its last foot in Alpha. As long as the propaganda tools are still there, there will be no mention of how embarrassing their current situation is in the complaints sent to the front.

Therefore, from the previous side, Huo Yang and the two did have a big conflict, which was a scandal that was difficult to settle within the shogunate, but the strength of both sides was still more than enough to defend and not enough to enter, so it seemed that there was still the possibility of continued mediation. Later, Han Han thought that this judgment was the most outrageous example of her life, and she was deeply ashamed of it. But I don't think it's anything, although Han Han is shrewd and capable, after all, he is only flesh and blood, and it is not easy to cross the distance of 100,000 light years to see the truth of the problem from countless reports full of emotions and lies full of malicious attack tones, and its correct rate is definitely smaller than the average probability of throwing a coin heads, not to mention that when people carry it, it is not surprising to throw seventeen or eighteen backs in a row.

Han Han had to be in charge of cabinet affairs on the one hand, planning the overall situation on Nebuchu, and on the other hand, he had to be distracted to deal with the confrontation between Huo Yang and the two, which was really annoying, and even mentioned at an informal banquet of cabinet members, "Just expel those two people from the government and let the global parliament settle it", which was unanimously approved by a show of hands, including me. Han Han himself knew that this kind of emotional handling method was not operable, but just by persuading them by letter, the two didn't listen to it at all, and could only seize the loophole and continue to attack each other to the death. And according to information from other sources, the two of them are still fighting hard and preparing to fight again. After all, it took a week to write a mediation letter here, and more than 20 days had passed over there, which was enough to train a simple young man to the point where he could go to the battlefield for the first time. The background of the asymmetrical passage of time makes this mediation delayed and laborious, and it is destined to be impossible to achieve the effect of harmony and wealth.

At the end of December 3082, Yang Husheng and Chen Xiangda brazenly registered their marriage in Nandu, and then held a grand wedding. There was a lot of excitement on the ground, Tan Kang officiated the marriage, Guo Guang witnessed the marriage, and many dignitaries attended the wedding. However, because their interactions were never approved by their respective leaders, the two shogunates behaved coldly and did not even send a congratulatory message. Ovimas and I were somewhat upset with the two of them, for most of the two shogunates, they had been separated from each other for too long, and they looked like they were basically outsiders with a nostril of the global council that was constantly playing tricks behind their backs. What's more, there is a major event on the front line at this time, relatively speaking, their dispute with Huo Shuxiang is nothing, whether it is a war or not.

Almost at the same time as the marriage of Yang and Chen, the Ovimas shogunate army built the Ankima camp in the Ankima region in the extreme east of the Masco continent on September 15, 055 years of the expedition. In accordance with the established strategic deployment, the army units of the Ovimas shogunate immediately launched an offensive westward towards the hinterland of Feria. Stationed in the southeast corner of the continent of Masco, in the Dust Swamp of Blackwater Feria's hometown, Jingwei's Ninth Army immediately set out to march northwest to coordinate with them.

Because this attack was very well prepared and progressed very quickly, within a month, it successively occupied fifteen administrative districts of Feria (roughly equivalent to the provincial area of mankind), and mastered the main communication artery in the eastern part of the Musku continent. Feria's local garrison was able to fight against the Ninth Army, which was dominated by Wood Elves, but was immediately crushed when they encountered the Overmars Army, which was assisted by MG's team. The vanguard of the Overmars Army pursued it all the way to the Komatsu Hill area on the eastern and central borders of Mascu before encountering a truly decent return attack, ambushed by 15,000 elite Feria troops, and 2,000 vanguard troops and one MG squadron were annihilated. The Feria Army then gathered heavily there, and desperately held the Ovimas Army east of Komatsu Mountain.

Occupying an area spanning 2,000 kilometers in one month, Overmars's mechanized army has surpassed any previous battle between humans and Feria. If it weren't for the deliberate suppression of media reports on the main planet, I wonder how high the weapon-only theory would have been raised? However, as we all know on the front line, the first month's assault was just a deliberate blow after a long period of preparation, and the Feria royal family had no intention of fighting Ovimas immediately with a hard fight, and the resistance forces that appeared up to Komatsuyama were local armies, not regular troops of the imperial family. However, judging from the course and outcome of the ambush at Komatsu Mountain, it should have been a blow carefully planned by the Feria General Headquarters. The stakes are very high, and Overmars invited Simba, Jiang Xu and other senior generals of our army to the staff headquarters of the Ankima battalion to discuss together. After a full day of seminars, Simba called me: "It's decided, Overmars will call you shortly." To go on the offensive. ”

I asked, "What do you mean by meeting together?" ”

Simba was silent for a moment and said, "Jiang Xu expressed his support, but I don't agree to do it like him, after all, I am too familiar with the mechanized army." After Komatsu Mountain, the superiority of mechanized troops will be largely neutralized. ”

Sure enough, Overmars's call came in quickly. It could be heard from the phone that he was in a good mood, after all, he had fought well until the small forward force was annihilated, and the annihilated forward force had a record of marching against orders without authorization, and it was obvious that Ovimars could not be blamed for any accidents. He said: "Huang Er, we studied for a day and decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue and move on. We can't be satisfied with occupying the eastern part of the Masku continent - as long as we attack the central part of the continent, Feria will have too many places to defend, and will inevitably face the dilemma of insufficient troops everywhere. At that time, your troops will be able to attack from Gaclay in the south, Selmo in the west, etc. ”

I had to remind him: "This is true in terms of grand strategy, but is this battle sure to be won?" After breaking through Komatsu Mountain, where are you going to end your journey? There are no mountains to defend in the middle, and this is true for Feria, and even more so for us. ”

"You're overthinking." Ovimas said firmly: "Feria has gathered a large army at Komatsu Mountain, and has ambushed two reserve divisions in the rear, but we have already seen through these preparations, and we will not be blinded by them like the vanguard. Komatsu Mountain had about 10 to 120,000 Feria troops, and no more than 50,000 were in ambush at the back. Our army is bound to win! As long as Komatsu Mountain is laid, our army can attack and retreat, and it can be enterprising freely, and it will be able to adapt to changes when the time comes. ”

From a grand strategic point of view, he has a point, and even from my standpoint, I can't find any excesses in this plan. Although the number of troops in Ovimas is small, at this time it has been replenished in batches with 80 MG squadrons, and the sortie rate has always been maintained at a high level, and there should be more than 300 of them who can be engaged in this battle, which should be said to be a rather terrifying mechanical combat force. At Overmars's insistence, this terrifying iron current quickly gathered towards Komatsu Mountain from all directions.

However, the strong MG needs additional logistical support, and in the previous month's high-intensity operations (the high intensity here mainly refers to the average daily march of more than 300 kilometers on the eastern side of the Masco continent, and the fighting is not necessarily particularly intense), many MGs have had various degrees of malfunction and urgently need to be repaired. When they marched to Komatsu Mountain, there was a sudden explosion in the failure rate and a sharp drop in the dispatch rate that followed. By October 20, 205, the Ovimas Shogunate had 68 MG squadrons within 200 kilometers of Mt. Komatsu and its east, but only 34 were in good condition, and the rest were in urgent need of maintenance. Jing Wei's Ninth Army arrived at the battlefield on time without illness or disaster, and when he saw this, he negotiated with Overmars's army armored commander Gaul: "Your steel is so broken and paralyzed that the roads are blocked, how can this battle be fought?" ”

"According to the orders of General Overmars, our army only needs to attack directly!" Gaul didn't take the female general in front of him with a group of sissy soldiers in his eyes: "Even if there are only ten squadrons, our army can win the battle of Little Pine Mountain!" ”

For this kind of guy with eyes above the top, Jing Wei has seen a lot, and it is not surprising, she just shrugged her shoulders and said, "Okay, you open the way in front, and I will take the women's army to cheer you on in the back." ”

Angry words come to words, neither Ovemas nor I would allow the two of them to be so nonsense on the front line. Overmars also felt helpless about the large-scale paralysis of the mechanized troops caused by poor logistics and poor maintenance. Among them, there are factors such as the fact that his original logistics share is too small, and there are also factors such as the delay in the delivery of MG follow-up machines and parts on the main star, which cannot be easily blamed on a certain person. The rear headquarters of the Ankima battalion met overnight to discuss this dilemma, and most people believed that the current time was actually difficult to find, and that if they defeated the Feria royal army at Komatsuyama, it was likely to achieve successive victories in the style of the Great Leap Forward, and even close to the city of Nebuchu. As for whether we have enough troops to occupy those tens of millions of square kilometers, it is not in their consideration at this time. But I can think of it for them: Overmars only has 20,000 troops, and the distance between them must be so great that it is impossible to communicate in a straight line without a microwave station. In that case, he had no choice but to borrow troops from me to defend the territory. Oh oh, how much rent is appropriate?

At this moment, the news suddenly came from the Ankima camp that the attack was scheduled for October 22. Jiang Xu was immediately surprised when he heard the news, although he was quite in favor of the battle. He said bluntly: "Now this mess is in a mess, even if you are lucky enough to beat Komatsuyama, what can you do?" I'm afraid that if Feria retreats easily, pull the mechanized troops to the west of Komatsu Mountain, and use the harsh terrain to pull their battle line apart, it will be very difficult to fight. ”

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you." I said to Jiang Xu: "It's so unreasonable, you can find out the reason for it for me." ”

Jiang Xu's nickname has been upgraded to the interstellar prodigal, and his curiosity about gossip will naturally not degrade this title. He immediately received the order to inquire about the news, and soon came back to report to me: "General, this reason is too child's play, and the subordinate thinks that there is really no way to report it to you. ”

I made a big face and said, "Are you saying to me, 'I don't know if I should say something or not?'" ”

"Eh, then I'll be blunt. According to fairly reliable information, Kiyoko, the daughter of General Overmars, is about to get married in Shinkyung. When the news came, General Overmars was ready to make a congratulatory gift for his daughter. At this time, the Gallic Major General reported to him: 'Let your subordinates add color to the wedding of the eldest lady with a great victory'! ”

I waited for a long time, and when I saw that Jiang Xu didn't continue, I asked, "That's it?" ”

Jiang Xu smiled: "That's right, that's it, don't believe it?" ”

"Ouch." I leaned back and covered my head with my hand: "Do men with children be so faint?" Thankfully, we haven't had that scourge yet! ”

Jiang Xu said with a smile: "How come, the general said that he was joking, but he had to work hard, Xia Guan Ke had already read a lot of books, and he was waiting to be a princess teacher." ”

I shrugged my shoulders and took a report from a drawer and handed it to him: "Look, remember not to say it to the outside world, it is only circulating within the cabinet for now." You should also work hard to enter the cabinet early so that you can share my worries! ”

Jiang Xu said yes again and again, and looked down at the report carefully. At first glance, a cold sweat broke out: judging from the narrative style of this report, it is obvious that it was not written by the person who wrote the official document, but the facts are shocking. The report pointed out that since four months ago, both Yang Husheng and Huo Shuxiang have begun to openly set up card fees on the waterways they are in charge. After all, Yang Husheng has never failed the year-end assessment in the past three years, but no one wants to replace him from that position, and it is conceivable to do this kind of thing in the mood of breaking the jar and breaking it. But the most appalling thing is that some MG and frigates have appeared in the north of their respective territories, although the specific number is unknown, but from the consumption of special supplies such as heavy water, it can be calculated that there are about three or four MG squadrons each, and their forces have begun to develop from small-scale armies to large-scale mixed forces, and it is not known what will become if they fight again. Moreover, these two have prepared logistical preparations for the next fierce battle, and from the inventory of MG parts that should not appear in the warehouse, both of them have coincidentally done a major thing - to intercept all the MG logistics support parts that should be delivered to Overmars in 3082. Therefore, the logistical rupture on Overmars's side is certainly related to his personnel arrangement, but the parts cannot keep up mainly because Yang Husheng and Huo Shuxiang have prepared for the civil war with the hands of wild goose plucking.

I asked the pale-faced Jiang Xu: "Do you think that Ovimas will think if he wants to know this, and immediately declare war on us?" ”

"It's not enough to declare war, after all, it is not the intention of the generals, and they don't have the strength to turn their faces against us now." Jiang Xu settled down and said, "But these two bastards must be stopped from doing such nonsense." ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, it does." These two guys have deducted too much from the Alpha and Relondo Passages, causing many transport ships to go to the Adams Passages now, saying that the rebels collect little money and have a good attitude! This is a disguised supply to the rebels, and there will be chaos after a long time. Fortunately, Overmars decided to start the campaign ahead of schedule for that ridiculous reason, saving us the possibility of blaming us after verifying the situation. Even if he knew about it after the war, it was his idea to start a war without waiting for the logistics to be resolved. Let's wait and see, and punish Yang Huo after the war, I don't have a suitable candidate in my heart. ”

On October 22, 205, the Ovimas Army launched an attack on Komatsu Mountain. Because of the steepness of the mountain and the difficulty of the road, MG's mobility ability was greatly weakened, and it was difficult for various powerful weapons to give full play to their power, and as soon as they entered the mountain, they were fiercely attacked by the four-clawed spider team ambushed by Feria and the dragon bone soldiers who rushed in a scattered array. In the first five hours, the Ovimas army actually lost eight MG squadrons on the way into the mountain, half of which were because the MG in front and behind were destroyed and could not advance or retreat, and they were surrounded by keel soldiers and gnawed off in the posture of ants gnawing elephants. At the same time, the Feria army lost less than 3,000 men, but the four-clawed spider team was basically wiped out.

For more than a month since the Ankima battalion went into battle, Gaul has heard good news every day, fortunately, he is a senior armored general from a European army, and he has been hit by Dai Jiangnan's fleet, so he still remembers what a defeat is, and he did not panic. However, although his mind was not panicked, his arrogance was no longer at all. He hurriedly found Jing Wei, the commander of the Ninth Army, who was left aside, and persuaded her to cooperate with the troops to fight with the MG troops. Jing Wei knew that these armored troops would not be able to get along without infantry cooperation in the mountains, and Simba's order was to "cooperate as much as possible and obey Gallic moderation in this operation", so he only coldly mocked Gaul, and still led the army into the mountains.

With the cooperation of the Ninth Army, the battle situation gradually began to improve. Although Feria used all his strength to defend Komatsuyama, he could not stop the successive defeats and retreats. By the evening of 25 October, all of Féria's positions on the dangerous road of Komatsu Mountain had been captured, but there were many Feria stragglers who had fled into the mountains, and the road was not quiet. It is obviously unrealistic to use MG to clean up the Feriaghan guerrillas in the mountains, the number of the Ninth Army is too small, there is more than enough to defend MG, and it is not enough to search and kill in the mountains. At this time, there were two diametrically opposed opinions in the staff of the Ankima battalion: some people remembered the battle of the Gakle Plateau a few years earlier, and thought that it was impossible to advance without completely destroying the main force of Feria; On the other hand, the other faction, led by Gaul, believed that MG would be invincible in the middle of Mascu as long as he crossed the Komatsu Mountains. Overmars took both sides of the argument into account, but he was slow to make a decision. However, he may have acquiesced to Gaul, who ordered his whole army to advance without waiting for his order, and crossed the Little Pine Hill at dawn on 29 October. At this time, he had twenty-one MG squadrons around him, and ninety-seven MGs with combat capabilities. However, the Ninth Army was repeatedly attacked by Feria's stragglers in the mountains, and suffered heavy losses, and a few were left behind due to getting lost, at this time there were only 2,500 human swordsmen and 6,000 wood elf infantry, which was not as large as before.

Before the troops of Gaul and Jingwei had time to rest, the forward troops of Feria appeared in front of them. At this time, the night was thick and the fog was thick, and the air force could not reconnoiter and support, so Gaul and Jingwei rushed into battle with no idea of the enemy's situation. The fierce battle lasted until noon, when the fog gradually cleared, and the unmanned reconnaissance planes over the battlefield took pictures of the details of the enemy's troops. Far from Ovimas's predictions, the Feria army in ambush behind Komatsu Mountain was far more than 50,000, but as many as 150,000! From the high-resolution photographs, we can conclude that these large armies were all elite troops directly under the royal family of Feria, and it seems that they had secretly drawn a large number of troops to the west of the mountain range during the Battle of Komatsuyama, and had already planned to fight a decisive battle of annihilation here.

The battle was unexpectedly brutal. In the first two days of fighting, the Feria army launched a tidal wave of attacks against the human coalition army, but they were quickly overwhelmed by MG's powerful firepower. On one or two occasions during this period, they gained the upper hand, and Dai Jiangnan led the Third Fleet to rush down to support them, and then beat them back. From the third day, however, the Feria Army changed their tactics—forever changing the way they fought against the humans—and instead of charging in a dense manner, they charged at our army in a scattered formation, as they had done against the MG on the day of the Long Hatred. As a result, the MG's hit rate dropped sharply, and at the same time the consumption of ammunition rose sharply, so much so that the Third Fleet had to abandon the task of fire support and go all out to replenish them with ammunition by air at night. Jing Wei and the Ninth Army also came under more pressure, and the combat attrition rose rapidly.

By the fifth day of the battle, the ammunition supply provided by the Third Fleet had finally begun to break down, and it was no longer possible to fill every MG with ammunition, let alone bring in the necessary parts to repair the damaged MGs. At this time, it is clear that it has entered the critical stage of stalemate, and it is only up to see who can survive to the end. The advantage of our army was limited air fire support and ammunition supply, while the advantage of the Feria army was a constant stream of follow-up troops. This time, it was clear that the Feria Commander-in-Chief had made up its mind, and a large number of requisitioned tribal armies continued to drive from the west, quickly making up for the shortfall in the eliminated Feria royal forces, but further expanding their ranks. By the sixth day, the Feria army had 220,000 men, while a third of the Gallic MG forces had run out of ammunition, a third had broken down of varying degrees, and only a third had maintained full combat effectiveness. The situation was extremely bad.

Faced with an unfavorable situation, Gaul suddenly used reverse thinking and organized MG pilots to actively learn the essentials of hand-to-hand combat from the swordsmen of the Ninth Army. After studying in a hurry for a long time, he ordered the damaged MG to be demolished, and the body was surrounded by a simple city wall, leaving a small number of MG and all the wood elf infantry to defend the base camp, and the dismantled arms, legs and other parts were used as super-large cold weapons, with the tactical idea of "minimizing the use of ammunition and maximizing the terrifying atmosphere", he personally led all the remaining MGs who could fight, and launched a surprise attack on the base camp of the Feria Army at night surrounded by the swordsmen of the Ninth Army.

In terms of the sheer number of individuals, this attack was 2,000 versus 220,000, which was the most dismal comparison of the numbers of the battles between humans and Feria. However, Gaul's tactics worked, and the club-wielding MG stormed into the Feria camp like a legendary steel behemoth of the Feria, and each stick smashed dozens of Feria troops to pieces. In the meantime, some fish that slipped through the net occasionally tried to organize a counterattack, but they also cut into pieces to pieces for the swordsman group led by Jing Weiqin. Although the number of Feria army was large at this time, the composition was extremely complex, the elite royal army was less than 80,000 left, and the training and morale of the other tribal armies could not be compared with them.

At dawn, the base camp of Feria was conquered by Gaul. Tall steel behemoths lit a raging fire in the Feria base camp. After seeing this scene, the 140,000 tribal army was exhausted, many turned around and rushed to their hometowns, and some of the first rats watched for a while, and after not receiving any news and instructions from the commander-in-chief, they gave the wood elf reconnaissance team a few shots and ran away in a panic, and by noon, only the more than 6,000 people of the evil branch Feria were still holding their positions. Gaul and his army were rested, and although there were only about thirty MGs left to fight, they easily wiped out the recalcitrant Feria. After the end of this battle, all the ammunition stocks of MG in Gaul were completely at the bottom, which shows the fierceness and thrilling situation of the battle. However, Gaul had not yet figured out how to write the celebration materials, when suddenly the news came that the entire Ninth Army was heading south. Jingwei just abandoned Gaul and his MG troops at the foot of Mount Komatsu.

The cooperation between Gaul and Shizumi was the first cooperation between the armies of the two shogunates, and there were many conflicts due to ideological differences and different interests in it. However, it is incomprehensible that such a thing would suddenly occur after a victory. Gaul took the opportunity to take all the exploits for himself and gave Ovimars a black call. Ovimas naturally did not believe all of Gaul's words, but he always defended his shortcomings, so he sent me a copy of Gaul's slander against the Ninth Army as it was, and asked me to investigate and deal with it. I'm glad Jing Wei is safe, but I really can't understand why she did it. Although she reads a lot of women's magazines, she can sometimes be emotional and unreasonable, but she is not like that when she does business, especially when she fights, the only explanation is what happened in that decisive battle. However, the Ninth Army's long-distance communications equipment was damaged in the melee as early as possible, and Dai Jiangnan's Third Fleet was hit by the air defense base on the Masku continent and the air defense arms of the Feria Army in the course of many support and supplies. As much as I would love to use my privilege to get him to find him, there are a lot of people with eyes on me, and it's not a matter of urgency, I can't do that. The only thing that can be done is to believe that Jingwei still has a majority of the army, and will definitely not encounter accidents in the panicked territory of Feria after the great defeat. She has a big opinion about Gaul and will never give up with me, and should have taken the initiative to contact us. (To be continued.) )
