345. The Last Persistence

The Straw Shoes "joined" the Big Heads and then reorganized into a new league and created the Kling District, which happened in the first half of 2020. President Berkeley didn't hear anything at all, and even if he occasionally learned about it, he didn't pay much attention to it.

In late 2020 and early 2021, the biggest news in the northern part of the country was that Princess Ktia honored three venerable philanthropists on behalf of the royal family of Belly.

After hearing this, Berkeley sighed again and again, why didn't such a person appear in Mowang City? Since the royal family of Belly has done this, he also intends to give these three lords another award and commendation in the name of the central government of the country of Jili, and confer the highest honorary title on the country of Jili.

Things went down, but the officer in charge replied to him that he hadn't been contacted. Feng Zibin and Mr. Fugen were indeed not in contact, and the phone number in Rogrid's office was still connected. Rochand's own did not answer, but let his staff politely and tactfully refuse.

Later, when many things were busy, Berkeley didn't care about it anymore.

In the first half of 2021, the New Alliance liberated the city of Banda and completely cleared the Guard Front. Berkeley heard about the situation, but didn't pay much attention to it. The Guard Front, which is the armed force furthest and weakest under the control of the central government, appears to have undergone an internal change of power, with a change of leader and a change of name.

Why did Berkeley judge this to be an internal power change? Because the information he saw showed that the change did not lead to large-scale riots, it was short-lived, and the casualties were negligible.

It wasn't until August 2021 that the New Alliance Army suddenly crossed the Banwei River and the Wago Desert and liberated the city of Wago controlled by the Lions, which attracted Berkeley's attention and vigilance. He mobilized military and police forces to deploy on the northern border and made a special trip to collect various intelligence from the new alliance for analysis.

But he never expected that only three months after the New Alliance captured the city of Vage, it would once again move south, and the defense force he organized was almost immediately defeated, and the other side actually directly entered the capital in the light rainy season.

At that time, the main force of the Hope Front could no longer be contacted, and it was not known whether most of them were captured or scattered and fled, and even if they broke through the siege, it would be impossible to retract them in the short term. Seeing that the tide was turning, many high-ranking government officials persuaded Berkeley to retreat to the city of Diga, where they had started and their traditional sphere of influence, and to retreat first in order to make a comeback.

They all came to the wrong judgment that the new coalition was trying to stage a military coup d'état, seize the central government, and then hold another election to put its leader Charles on the presidency.

They thought they could keep their territory in the city of Diga, as long as they were nominally willing to submit to the central government. That's what the Front of Hope did in the past, and everyone has been doing this for so many years since the founding of the country.

Berkeley was reluctant to go, his pride and pride did not allow him to leave as a loser. He was the best president the country had ever seen, and he had to organize the most elite and loyal guards to fight a battle to defend the capital.

But many of my father's old subordinates retreated and fled to the city of Diga. In fact, the new alliance is that the eastern and western armies are moving south at the same time, and it is easier to liberate the city of Diga than to liberate the city of Mowang. The group had been captured before they had even escaped to the area, and were being screened and vetted by the new coalition.

Berkeley's defense of the capital was also unsuccessful, with the New Alliance advancing block by block, and the political cadres immediately following to reorganize the grassroots order, with few decent battles.

Berkeley knew that the general situation was gone, and the people around him persuaded him to rush to the airport that had not yet been captured, and temporarily go overseas for example. However, Berkeley refused, and he decided to stay here and talk to Charles in person.

In fact, if he really wants to run, whether he can run away depends on the thoughts of the decision-makers of the new alliance.

The military of the country of several miles has several fighters, and there is no chance to take off at all after the war, for the reason that the group of wheeled armored vehicles organized by the Lion is referenced. At that time, the new coalition forces had not yet captured the airport, but the special service team had already infiltrated the airport, but it did not prevent the evacuees or fugitives from taking off and landing.

At the last moment, Berkeley, the military general counsel specially hired from Yinguo's high salary, also gave him an idea to turn the tables or take revenge.

At the time, Berkeley had a few hundred Presidential Guards left with him, the most elite and loyal troops under his command. The reason why these troops are still there is because they are not on the front line, they are guarding the most central neighborhoods of Mowang City to deal with emergencies, and they don't even know the specific situation on the front line.

The military adviser made two recommendations. He first persuaded Berkeley to leave the country a few miles away with the evacuation flight, and then to return to the city of Diga from overseas. At the time, they didn't know that the city of Diga had not been saved.

The second suggestion is very vicious, which is to have the presidential guard disguised as a new coalition army to attack the embassies of various countries in the country of several miles, preferably with heavy casualties.

In this way, an internal coup d'état can turn into a terrorist attack or even a massacre that shakes the world, involving external forces and leading to the intervention of the international community, so as to destroy the new alliance by the hands of others.

Because if the Front of Hope wants to make a comeback, even if it has the old territory of Diga City, it will be difficult to confront the new alliance militarily, and only this trick can turn the situation around.

Berkeley, in the presidential palace, broke out in a cold sweat, and he not only rejected the suggestion, but also ordered the arrest of the military adviser on the spot for interrogation, and learned that part of the presidential guard had already gone to "carry out" this "mission". It was the "advice" given privately by the military general counsel, and several officers were willing to lead the team to do so in person.

Only then did Berkeley realize that not only was the country under his rule completely out of control, but even the presidential guard, which he trusted the most, he could not fully control.

His last urgent order was to order the last remaining guards that could still be mobilized around the presidential palace to rush to the embassy district to stop the incident and protect the security of the embassies until the New Alliance Army took over, at which point they could choose to surrender.

Berkeley could not accept such a suggestion, and tried to prevent such a thing from happening, such a vicious scheme is too appalling and has broken through conscience and bottom line. Even if his regime is overthrown, he will protect his reputation and that of the country.

Berkeley ordered the last remaining guards to protect the embassy area, but it was not too late, but the embassies of various countries were not captured by the rebels. Out of nowhere, another group of armed men with godlike marksmanship appeared and routed and cleaned up the chaos, and then the vanguard of the new coalition army also arrived.

The timely protection of the embassy district was carried out by the various special service infiltration teams sent by the new coalition. They had already infiltrated Mowang City, and then gathered in the embassy area and acted in unison, gathering about two hundred people, which was ordered by Wang Fengshou in advance.

There are more than 100 countries that have internationally recognized the country and have nominally established diplomatic relations with it. However, due to frequent coups and wars, there are now more than 50 embassies in Mowang City and long-term diplomatic personnel.

When the New Alliance Army launched its southward movement, many countries evacuated their diplomats and organized emergency evacuations, and there were not many serious expatriates here anyway, and the agents of the New Alliance Army did not block the take-off and landing of passenger planes at Mowang Airport.

By the time the new coalition army captured the main city of Mowang, there were only a dozen embassies left with diplomatic personnel, and the diplomatic personnel of the remaining embassies had been evacuated, leaving only local staff to guard them.

The military adviser privately said, "Why do officers in the guard lead their men to do it when they suggest?" Chaos will unleash the evil of human nature, and more importantly, it is profitable to raid and loot those embassies, and there should be a lot of valuable good things in them! After the fact, you can not be held responsible, and all the blame will be blamed on the new alliance.

Wang Fengshou did not expect this incident, but he only instinctively worried that the chaos in the unliberated neighborhoods would spread to the embassy district as the New Alliance Army advanced block by block.

Therefore, when formulating the military plan, he suggested sending an vanguard force directly into the embassy area, and at the same time sending a special service infiltration team to assemble in the embassy area in advance to maintain order and protect the embassies, especially those that still have diplomatic envoys left behind.

The last place captured by the new coalition army was the presidential palace, which could not be regarded as an capture, but was taken over directly, and Berkeley became a prisoner of war while sitting in his office. He never left, trying to maintain his dignity and making a request to the staff of the new alliance that he should meet with the charr to discuss state affairs.
