Hashimoto and a few Fuso mercenary officers thought that their firepower was actually very powerful. Indeed, relying on their firepower can turn a city into a waste zone. At that time, they did not carefully consider it. How did this happen? Now they understand. In fact, many things are not something they can consider. They have put a lot of effort into it, but the most common place is the aerial bombs dropped by planes. Look at the time. , They need half an hour to receive such an effect, but the regular army of Renjia Energy Group can do it in two-thirds less time than theirs, and the fight is more thorough, they can see from the radar. After coming out, the energy group’s shelling is advancing step by step. They know that it takes at least a certain number of years for their artillery to practice to this level. It is possible that they will not be able to do it after a certain year. At this moment, they all feel the mercenary. The gap with the regular army. M (just read the novel)
Fusang people like to engage in close combat, but now they understand how stupid it is. The regular army can kill an enemy with one magazine and two magazines, but they will never use their bodies to fight with others. Yes, because it’s a very stupid behavior. If they don’t have weapons and ammunition around them, they might do that, but when they have weapons and ammunition, they will never do that, because they all know that they don’t. Those who are stingy with weapons and ammunition, what they need is that these people can go back alive, and the fighting is going on one side. If the army of the Holy See encounters mercenaries from energy groups. Maybe they still feel that they have the hope of winning and they might resist. But seeing the torrent of iron and steel, they all felt that their guts were broken. They didn’t have the ability to fight against the regular army of the energy group. So how fast the tanks would run, they would occupy them quickly. They attacked around the cathedral, and the headquarters ordered a rest.
The previous church was demolished by the Catholic Church a long time ago. The current one was built by the pope himself. Although it looks so majestic, it always lacks the background of time. Just like the new campuses of many universities in China, they all look so brand new, but there is no university atmosphere. Such an atmosphere is not something you want to have. In many cases, these things can only come out of time, so I can’t rush.
Li Cong has also come to the front line. At this time, he has to have a good talk with the Pope. Maybe Larsie will change something. His own group also needs this guy. As for this last unit guarding the Holy See, it is absolutely It won't be kept. As long as these people exist, Ralsh's ambition will not disappear in a day. This person, like Hitler, can organize a million army in a blink of an eye. It’s just that he is much worse than Hitler’s luck. Hitler had no opponents in the era when he existed, and in this era when the pope existed, there were too many people who could be his opponents, and now Turki also It's not the Germany of the year. He doesn't have such a huge economic and military power, but from the perspective of this person, he is still very good.
Li Cong asked his herald to say that he wanted to interview the pope, and the location could be in the pope's church. Originally, many officers below were very opposed to it. If the Pope really hijacked their husband, they would be led by the nose, but the few who knew Li Cong’s skills were not so worried, they were all very worried. clear. Let alone a dilapidated church here, Li Cong comes and goes freely even at Longmen Tiger Den. At this point they have absolute self-confidence in their husband.
Larsie also realized the bravery that a leader should have. He suggested that the place for negotiation should be placed in the center of the two armies, that is, on the square in front of the church. In the past, there would always be tens of thousands at a fixed time. People and even hundreds of thousands of people came here to worship, but now it has become a place for negotiations. Although Europa’s army has retreated, there are still Europa’s military advisers here, and the military advisers keep persuading the Pope. They can’t make peace with the energy group alone. They should resist to the last person. They are still persuading Pope Ralsh to say that their troops are ready and they may cross the Turki Strait at any time and come here to give energy. The group is a little bit powerful. Their determination is great this time. At least two million troops will come over. But the Pope is not a fool. Would you believe them?
Fifteen minutes before the negotiation, a group of personal guards of the Pope came out of the church. Li Cong and a few people saw the situation here at the temporary headquarters. They were accompanied by a large number of military advisers, all of whom were wearing Europa uniforms. , It seems that this is the final statement of the Holy See. The Pope will execute these people in front of Li Cong. It seems that he really does not want to have any contact with Europa, but wants to ask the energy group to reuse it again. This guy is also impossible, the energy group that has suffered a loss will not give the Holy See a second chance.
"It seems that this guy Ralsh wants to come to us again. He is really used to it, but he can save himself every time. I think this time he thought we would reuse him again. "Li Sen has seen this guy's face a long time ago, so no matter what Larsie does, Li Sen won't believe this guy anymore. His own reputation is really bad, he wants to make people Believing him is impossible, but the group still needs this guy, and keeping him is also the group's policy.
"Haha, you are right, this guy’s favorite estimate is that he is going to be in the morning and evening. I didn’t like to use such a person before, but now this person is at least five months useful to us, five It’s just a matter of finding a place to shut him down for the rest of his life. Thirty years later, people over there may still look for him. We don’t have to offend those over there. I think it’s fine to find a place on the Pacific or Atlantic. You can’t let him run out. If this guy is willing to take out the assets of the Holy See to me honestly. (Reading the novel, it’s up to you.) I’m definitely not embarrassed by this guy. But if this guy doesn’t know good or bad, Then I'm sorry for him. I can't say I'm going to give our servants of God rough." Li Cong said with a smile, and dozens of military advisers were shot and killed at once, but for Li Cong, such a nomination was simply There is no effect.
"Father, the time is up, should I go with you?" Li Yin looked at his watch, his face was still black. His special forces brigade also received an expansion indicator, and the number of adults to be expanded was three. There are about 100,000 special operations divisions. Today is their main attack. Although they have been fighting continuously for more than 30 hours, this is a commonplace for him. Basically, their officers and soldiers can continue to fight without rest for two days and nights. The elite players who play Europa don't feel so tired, not to mention these miscellaneous players.
"You can't go with me. If you go, I have to take care of you. Go back and get ready with Liu Tao. You two will start attacking after receiving my text message, but the negotiation tent in the middle will protect me. I think The pope should understand what to do.
Li Cong said with a smile. For him, this kind of negotiation is really normal. There is no need to think about it. The pope will have no other way. If he chooses between death and alive, this guy will definitely choose to live, even if he lives without dignity, he knows better than anyone else.
After finishing his own clothes, Li calmly passed to the tent two hundred meters away. At this time, the door of the church was also opened. The pope walked over in full costume, and the soldiers on both sides began to applaud his leader. It seems that this is not on the battlefield at all, but it can still be seen after careful observation. Li Cong walked very calmly. Because the winner is in hand, all requirements are made by himself, and I don't need to worry about it, but the pope is completely different, although the pope at this moment is also full of spirits. But he can still see his panic in his eyes, and the road under his feet is not so easy to walk. The Pope also regrets a little bit in his heart at this moment. If he didn’t turn back in the morning, would he not be where he is today? Energy Group and Europa are not on the same level. I should be very clear about this. Back then, how could I believe those Europeans with so shallow eyelids? Although I am not a prisoner now, what is the difference from that? People don’t attack the church. I want to come for those things, the Pope. He closed his eyes and entered the tent.
This question of measurement is quite right. Li Cong waited for this guy to enter before he went in. He is the conqueror and the future master of this guy. Since he came to this place again, this guy is no longer equal to himself. Now, he can be said to be one of his own partners before, but now he is one of his own subordinates, and he is a less obedient subordinate, sometimes it is his own business to want to control this guy, you have to resist If yes, no problem, there will be many people hoping to take your place. This is not to scare you.
"Larsch, I didn’t expect that we would meet like this this time. To be honest, it’s really a good memory that I met Mitel back then. Then I helped you in her face, but you gave me What? It is the most shameful betrayal. Do you know the price of betrayal? In our country, it costs three knives and six holes. His Majesty the Pope should know these things when he travels north and south. Now I don’t know what the Pope has to say? "Li Cong didn't give this guy any face at all, and this guy really doesn't have any face at all. Having the opportunity to speak is the greatest face. He originally thought he would definitely die, but when he knew Li Cong wanted When I was negotiating with him, he immediately tried to survive again. This was an opportunity for myself. If I couldn't grasp it, I might really die.
"Mr. Li, I... I follow Mr. Li's instructions. From now on, Mr. Li can do whatever he wants. I just hope that Mitel's face can make me crippled, but this is what we have left in our church. Please have a look at some of these things, Mr. Li." To be honest, these things are really the last things of the Holy See. Larsie is also a little distressed at the moment. Don’t look at the many things given to the Energy Group and Europa in the past, but Those things that are simply compared to these things, everything here is the real savings of the church, not to mention, just looking at the hundreds of boxes of gold coins from all ages is sky-high. A few years ago, ten commemorative gold coins from the Byzantine Empire were auctioned for millions of dollars. How many hundreds of thousands of dollars do you have? I don't know it, but there are at least tens of thousands.
"Very well, Larsie, what I admire about you is that you know what to say when and what to say, and don’t make excessive demands. In five months, five months, I hope you can help me settle down here. Circumstances, and then you will spend your old age on a small island in the Pacific, and I will satisfy you if you have any requirements. But you can’t leave that small island within fifty nautical miles in your life. I will give you whatever you need. Yours." Li Cong looked at the list, and it was good, basically there was everything that should be there. There are none.
"Mr. Li, I can actually have a lot of use in other places. I spend a lifetime on the ocean. In fact, I don’t have much. I just feel that I owe too much to Mr. Li. I hope I can use my leftovers. I will help Mr. Li in the next life to achieve some situations that Mr. Li hopes to appear, I don’t know..." This guy said twitchingly, but when he saw Li Cong’s eyes, he couldn’t talk about it anymore, but Let yourself be alone on an island. Even if it's only 30 years, I don't feel very comfortable. What if I can satisfy all my wishes? There are at most a hundred people on an island. Can you only order a hundred people in the future? This is not what I want, what I want is the same as now, so shocking all over the world. 【】【】
"Mr. Larsch, this is a request, not a request. Of course, if you agree, you can go back later. You don’t need to talk to me about anything, I’ll start attacking immediately, and these people will talk to you. Let's go see God together." Li Cong patted his shoulder and said.
Larsie was disgusted with Li Cong’s action, which seemed to be Li Cong’s action when he rewarded his little animal, "Okay. Since Mr. Li wants me to go there, I’ll go there. Just below These people are still very useful. Mr. Li doesn’t need to bother to solve them. As long as I go back and arrange for them, they will honestly help Mr. Li. You must know that there are still many things in Turki. As long as they are there, I believe Mr. Li’s plan can do more with less.
This guy’s mind seems to have not died yet, as long as there are hundreds of thousands of diehards, he won’t have any. What's not to worry about, these people's minds seem to be demonized, it is impossible to betray him at all, so he has worked hard to keep these people, and the reason is very sufficient, he I want these people to help Li Cong. Li Cong also knows that if these people stay, they will really help him a lot, but I am afraid that the trouble he will bring to him in the future will be even greater, so Li Cong shook his head. , This Laerxi's heart is really cold to the bone.
"Larsch, now you are a loser. The loser is not qualified to negotiate terms with the winner. All I can give you is your life. These hundreds of thousands of people are yours, and they will be yours all their lives. People, no matter how you ask them to help me, they will not be my people, so I will not want them. Do you think that the military observer who killed Europa is your loyalty? No, I will Arrange the best servants for you, I will give you whatever you need, but these people can’t be kept, there are still three minutes, my cannon will turn this into a waste area, if Lal Mr. Xi can go back if he regrets it now. If you don’t regret it, just sit here. I guarantee the safety of the two of us. My gunner will not attack this place. I will arrange for you to go when they are finished. Do some Anmin’s work and stabilize until five months later. Even if Mr. Larsie’s mission is completed at that time, you can enjoy the beach, sun, beauty and everything you need." Li Cong said with a smile, but Lalxi's face is really not very good-looking, he has been a puppet from today.
"Thank you Mr. Li...I...I know what I should do, I will be here honestly, and then follow all the arrangements of Mr. Li." Ralxi tightened his robe, this is the last day. As the pope, perhaps from the moment I walked out of the church, I am no longer a pope. I have been a vassal of the energy group early on, but I don't think it is. I have some right to speak before that time. but now. I don’t have anything, except for my own life, but this is still in the hands of others. If you look pleasing to your eyes, I will tell you to play for a while. If it’s not pleasing to your eyes, you can be sent to heaven at any time. Yes, of course, it could also be hell, and Larsie looked at the person in front of him. I really feel a little dissatisfied in my heart, but the facts will let all dissatisfaction slowly disappear, and I will not do it right with him in the future! ! !
Outside, Li Yin and Liu Tao immediately ordered the entire army to retreat two hundred meters after receiving Li Cong's order. Naturally, they did not want to release these people. It’s that they want to completely destroy the 300,000 square meters in front of them. The 150,000 Holy See’s diehard army has already ordered them not to let them come out alive. As for the wealth of the church, they are all in the secret room under the church. Inside, the most is to blow up the entrance of the secret room. In the future, there will be opportunities to dig out the contents inside. Now all the soldiers need to do is to stare in front of them. After the artillery fire is prepared, there are those who want to escape from the Holy See. The soldiers were killed. No one can stay. This is the task assigned by the above, and it is also the task they must complete. Perhaps when they followed the Pope on the first day they did not expect that they would become like this one day, but this is the fact.
Outside the tent, the sound of artillery blasted the sky, and a large number of planes in the sky dropped batches of aerial bombs. The artillery below had to blow their gun tubes red, but the above did not mean to stop, although in the middle Hundreds of people wanted to rush out of the gunfire area. But the soldiers outside directly touched their heads. Inside the tent, the pope's palms were all sweaty. At this moment, he had no mercy for those people, whether it was his diehards. Or some ordinary army, in the eyes of the Pope, they are all his own dogs. As long as this dog has different uses, some are more obedient, some are not so obedient, these dead are some very obedient, it is really not easy to find a group of such men in the future. Now, maybe I won’t even have the opportunity to start in the future.
Half an hour later, the artillery preparation was finished, and a large number of tanks and armored vehicles began to enter the area of the church. This huge church has nothing at this moment. It is estimated that there are at least 200,000 corpses inside. Naturally, everyone’s mission is not to come. Those who are looking for the corpse are looking for the treasures inside. Some of the more precious things have been put down on it. Everyone must find these things as soon as possible. At this time, the mercenaries can't move forward and divide the fruits. You don’t need you at that time. After watching this kind of performance, I believe that the little self-confidence they just came out is now completely gone. What they want is to follow the energy group honestly in the future. Things like this, I don't even think about it in my mind. If anyone instigates them to come here, then go to death quickly, we won't be with us.
Three hours later, all the hundreds of thousands of diehards were put to death, and Li Yin's special forces brigade also found the entrance to the underground treasure house. Li from the commander took out all the contents. Now Turqi has the rest. The thing is that there are hundreds of thousands of troops from the Holy See and tens of millions of people outside. Li Cong believes that relying on his own food and the reputation of the Holy See, it is no problem to get them all. Turki’s plan has been After it was sent, Li Minghui led some senior officials from the Ministry of Construction to quickly build a huge military base in Turki. The future mission of this military base is to attack Europa’s rear. Of course, the north can attack Europa, and the south can also solve it. In the Middle East countries, these small Middle Eastern countries are not very secure. Since they want to unify the world, this is what must be done. Don't do anything without foresight.
The things shipped this time surprised Li Cong. Europeans’ favorites are some famous paintings. There are hundreds of famous paintings by dozens of painters here, and Li Cong asked people to see that they are all authentic. Good guys, even if the British Museum is torn down, there are not so many famous paintings. Many people think that the collections in those museums are very powerful, but the gap is too big compared to here. Some of them are the treasures of the town hall. Many of the things here have been missing a hundred years ago, but now they are all appearing here. It seems that there are so many treasures on the earth. The group that went back has already been auctioned off at the Beijing Energy Group auction and has made huge profits. At least it is no problem for Li Cong to equip an armored division. These are estimated to be no problem with a hundred equipment. Of course, these things can’t be taken out at one time. In that case, no one will want to buy things on the street. It must be held two or three times a year. Just a few of them will be enough. Anyway, these things are kept at home. Collection is no problem.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Europa has made a violent criticism of some of the energy group’s practices, but such protests have no effect on the energy group. As for your other methods, if you want economic sanctions, no problem, I will immediately Give you an energy embargo. Let’s take a look at which of us has suffered more losses, and we’ve said long ago that military matters have nothing to do with economic matters. If anyone is involved, history is a sinner of mankind. Therefore, Europa is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and there is no voice for a while. As for the United Nations, let alone the United Nations. Now the United Nations is a place of talking and can't do anything. It is not as effective as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Energy Group. The world The former ambassadors were all permanent ambassadors to the United Nations, but the one who is now the permanent ambassador to the energy group is the first. After all, Li Cong is in charge of the matter, not the former United States of America. The society is progressing, and they must follow the pace of the world leader, otherwise they can only be eliminated. Turki is a huge example. What happened to the more than two million troops? It's not that it's over after playing.
Li Yin’s special forces brigade returned to the mainland to make corrections after completing the mission, and began to prepare for a new round of large-scale expansion. Turki’s mainland left 200,000 regular troops and 200,000 mercenaries, and all started. After retreating, they have been away from their hometown for a year, and it is time to arrange for them all to go back and see, especially the soldiers who had to settle down. In Turki, 14,2020 energy group regular troops were seriously injured or killed, and 300,000 lightly wounded, but they can all be corrected to return to the battlefield. The mercenary's losses are more in the eyes. Approximately 350,000 Fusang mercenaries died in Turqi, and another 90,000 became disabled for life. The casualty rate is close to one-third. In addition to sending these severely wounded back to Fusang, we must also supplement these field divisions. As long as the Fusang divisions that have participated in the battle in Turki have been adapted into field divisions. Unlike ordinary divisions, they have begun to equip some large weapons. Of course, ammunition needs to be strictly controlled, and all the heavy weapons equipped with them have computer control terminals. If they are not very If you are obedient, or if you have any intentions, then I am sorry to you, do you know how the artillery of the Holy See was destroyed? When they pointed their guns at the energy group, their cannon exploded like that. If you want to be like them, no problem, come on.
At the same time, Europa’s military expansion plan has begun in an all-round way, because they have felt the threat of war, so they can’t be as dignified as before. Now the enemy is not in distant Asia, but has arrived at their home. The door is now, and this enemy is very powerful. It has wiped out nearly two million of their troops. Europa has more than one billion people. It is also an economically developed area. It is very easy for them to expand their troops. The Europa Army The Ministry put forward a five-year military expansion plan. The plan is to complete a large-scale plan of 6.6 million troops, 1,560 navy ships, and 10,000 air force aircraft within five years. When this plan came out, people all over the world were shocked. If Europa really did. If the army expands, then the world’s military power can immediately surpass the United States to become the second place, but compared with the energy group, the army and navy are far from insufficient, but the air force is fine. After all, the energy group’s The Air Force announced that there are less than 10,000 aircraft. Europa now has more than 9,000 aircraft. After the expansion is completed, it can immediately surpass the energy group.
As the original boss of the world, the Skull and Bones will naturally not be silent. Immediately, the Americans' military expansion plan began to be announced in their Pentagon. The Americans are not so crazy, but there are also 5 million Army, 1,000 Navy, and 6,500 Air Force. In the military expansion plan, the Americans also have more than one billion people in the weekly area, and they will not be afraid of anyone’s provocation. In terms of space satellites, the Americans are better than Europa, but it is clear that When the army was expanded, the arms of the two families had some supplements, which can be seen by a discerning person at a glance. Their expansion plan is aimed at the energy group, and Li Cong just smiled and said nothing. The world in the future will definitely become more exciting. Countries in other regions of the world have also successively established some alliances, and began to attach to the three major groups. The world except the Americas and Europe is basically occupied by energy groups, but there is an exception. That is the gunpowder barrel in the Middle East. These Arabs don’t want to cooperate with the energy group. The energy group back then was not easy for them, so they established an alliance of God and became another force, including most of them. Former Arab countries. The strength is okay, but their life will not be so easy without oil. The alliance is not small, and they know their real ability.
Immediately after the establishment of the Alliance of God, they began to form their combined army. But soon within their alliance began to split. Some of them didn’t approve of cooperating with the Americans. In their opinion, the energy group is not something, and the Americans may not be able to treat them well. They should maintain Neutral, these people's ideas are also very marketable, but even if there are many internal contradictions, it is nonsense if they don't have an army in their hands. They don't have much money in their hands, and they are light armed at best. But there are a lot of people in the energy group. The energy group does not have its own people from time to time. Those who clamor for neutrality are actually their people. They cannot be allowed to cooperate with the energy group for a while, so there is this. A neutral statement, so that they can change their thinking.
Li Cong’s opinion on this newly established thing is that we don’t need to worry about it for the time being. Now we still have a lot of our affairs. Even if they can turn the sky around the world, the focus of the energy group’s work now is to start preparing for the world. On the battlefield, Li decided a year of recuperation from the military conference held. It’s also because the ammunition consumption of the Energy Group is too great. There are no more stocks in the several huge warehouses. If you don’t prepare a little bit, it’s your mistake if you didn’t hit it halfway. A year later Li Cong is preparing to start clearing several military strongholds of the Skull and Bones in Asia. Several military strongholds in Africa will also be under attack, and there will be no other forces in Africa except energy groups. Asia is naturally like this. The war has to be warmed up step by step. Li never waited for the news. When the Skull and Bones and Europa learned about the energy group’s plan, they all accelerated their military expansion plan, which was supposed to be completed in five years. All things must be completed within a year. In their opinion, if they cannot be completed within a year, there will be no plans and time. The energy group will definitely start a world war this time. In the face of the crisis, the Skull and Bones It began to unite with Europa, and the high-levels of the two sides continued to meet to explain their views and areas that need to be defended together, as if the world had begun an anti-fascist struggle again.
Regarding their alliance, some small countries felt that the energy group should not be able to compete with these old powers. They chose to join the Europa camp. Six months after Li Cong’s plan was announced, countries all over the world have basically joined. In the two camps, in general, Li Cong’s power is a little stronger, and the population is relatively large here. As for money, the two sides estimate that they are not at the same level. Although the preparation time for half a year is not from time to time. It’s sufficient, but it’s okay. At this time, Li Cong’s preparations have been completed. He has overfulfilled the task in half a year. As for what the enemy has thoughts and hasn’t finished preparing, that’s not something we need to consider. We are going to start looking for something.
The first is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Energy Group applied to the Skull and Bones to immediately abandon the two military bases in the YN Islands in Asia, the QAZ base and the WSX base. These two bases can be said to be occupied by the Americans for about a hundred years. Now, there are nearly 50,000 American navy and air forces on it. These two small military bases are not qualified to confront energy groups at all, but the Pentagon’s order to them is still not allowed to surrender, and they must fight. Only one soldier at the end was enough. Unfortunately, no matter what the Pentagon ordered them, their top leaders surrendered immediately after the five aircraft carriers of the Energy Group passed by, and they surrendered unconditionally.
Good guys, you know how to give orders indiscriminately in the country, don't you know what life is like on the frontline? So a piece of aircraft, let the sun in the sky be covered, people are not afraid of your defense system, yes, there are air defense systems in both bases, but you can release at most 30 at the same time. We only lose 30 planes if we launch the missile, but what about? We attack with thousands of fighters. What else can you save for 50,000 people? Besides, your country just gave you orders. How long have they not transported you to foster care? You must know that the American soldiers are not those of Turkis. They can hold on for that long without food. Don’t say these people. There is no food, but there is no chewing gum that I usually eat. It is estimated that one by one will start to conflict~EbookFREE.me~ These 50,000 people directly surrendered without firing a shot.
Lao Mei has been operating here for not a day or two. The facilities above are all very useful. It just so happens that the Energy Group does not have a decent naval base in this area. Two of them came here. I am happy not to Light, we will start a census of the entire base right away. As for these tens of thousands of prisoners, you should be coolies for a while. In the past, you didn’t do this and hired locals to do it. Now it’s no longer possible. You have to do it. Moreover, there are a large number of weapons and equipment in these two bases, at least they can equip hundreds of thousands of people. Naturally, these energy groups will not be polite. Now that there is a large-scale expansion, the regular army does not use such weapons, but no one does. Said mercenaries can't use it.
The energy group’s initial test of the sword made the Skull and Bones ashamed, but the two offensive nuclear submarines in the two bases were not found. It is estimated that they ran away early after hearing the wind, and the vast sea wanted to find them. It’s not an easy task. Forget it, just let them escape. Who knows that they appeared on the second day after the disappearance of these two nuclear submarines. They appeared off Hong Kong and sank one. The 100,000-ton energy group tanker immediately angered the people of the Energy Group Navy. Of course, the Americans would not sink the civilian tanker. After reconnaissance, they knew that it was transporting supplies to the Energy Group Navy. The Navy Tanker, this one is within the scope of war. (To be continued.
