Chapter 3223: Retreat

The key to driving in the desert is to stay motivated. Because traction is very precious in this kind of road conditions, it is difficult to increase speed. When turning, try to choose a larger turning radius, because turning too small or excessively in the desert will increase the possibility of car trapping. There is a risk that the vehicle may roll over when turning sharply on too soft sand.
Due to the new meeting point, Lin Rui and the others were about four hours later than expected. When they arrived in that small town, Hammer and others were already there to greet them.
"My hero." The hammer gave Lin Rui a hug, "You guys have done a great job."
Lin Rui looked at him suspiciously, and gave him a newspaper with a hammer, which was Orumi's official newspaper. It reads impressively: The Federation suffered a major terrorist attack, and several important members of the decision-making committee were killed. The whole nation mourns, and the Federal President severely condemns the evil acts of terrorism directed at the Federal Decision Committee.
"Federal Decision Committee?" Lin Rui frowned, "What is that?"
"Actually, it is what the Secret Agency calls itself in the Olumi Federation." Zhao Jianfei nodded. "In order to better control the Olumi Federation, the Secret Agency members once called themselves the Federal Decision-Making Committee. Any decision on federal affairs must be made by them. Order it yourself. The Federal President is just a puppet similar to the hypocritical monarchy. The Federal Congress only raises a group of local tribal leaders, and they have no right to fart.
As long as they are obedient, they can maintain the status quo, if anyone dares to have any dissatisfaction. The secret agency’s decision-making committee can send them to prison with a single order. All real power is in the hands of the decision-making committee. The Red Baron is the highest officer of the decision-making committee. "
"I have to say, you did a good job. We didn't even think about attacking the decision-making committee before." The hammer shook his head. "It is a great achievement to kill an ordinary federal official."
Lin Rui looked at the newspaper and said, "But they never disclosed whether the Red Baron has really died."
"Even if the Red Baron dies, they will not disclose this. In order to effectively control public opinion, all Orumi media are controlled by the subordinate agencies of the decision-making committee, and any unfavorable news will never be reported. Red Baron It's even impossible to report on such a major event as death." Zhao Jianfei shook his head.
"But it doesn't matter whether he is dead or not. The important thing is this." Crystal pointed to the newspaper. "The original plan to go to Libya to carry out anti-terrorism operations was postponed and put on hold. It seems that we prevented them from entering. Libya."
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think." Zhao Jianfei shook his head. "As far as the secret society is, it can still operate normally even without the Red Baron. And according to common sense, they will use the exaggeration of this matter to speed up the attack. Terrorists in Libya. Instead of choosing to shelve the plan."
"This is really strange." Lin Rui nodded. "As I said before, although the removal of the Red Baron can curb the arrogance of the secret society, I am afraid that it will not stop the secret society from continuing its attempts to take the Libyan port to the sea. But they suddenly chose to temporarily terminate the offensive in Libya, which is a bit strange What does Aladdin think about this?"
"Mr. Aladdin thinks this is a pretentious posture by the secret agency, intending to sit on the ground and raise the price to ask for more benefits from the anti-terrorist alliance." Crystal whispered, "so other countries of the anti-terrorist alliance have to seriously consider and give They have a bit of sweetness. And once they have taken the northern port of Libya from the terrorists, they will not easily let go. The subtext: The Olumi Federation has sacrificed so much for the African anti-terrorism cause, and it is impossible to get nothing. I will work for you for nothing."
"It turns out that this is the case. It seems that they want to lay the groundwork in advance to occupy Sirte Port." Lin Rui nodded, "This is just a gesture, which does not seem to move, but in fact it is to get the tacit approval of other Western countries. "
"According to you, they will still attack the terrorists in Libya?" Scarface whispered.
"Yes, and this is the secret agency's established strategy, and it will never be changed." Lin Rui nodded. "But they will not show it. Instead, they will retreat. It is very likely that they will threaten to withdraw from the anti-terrorist alliance on the grounds that the domestic security situation has deteriorated. In order to win over the Orumi Federation, other Western countries will inevitably reach a private agreement with them. Some agreements."
"For example, after the terrorists in Libya are eliminated, the Orumi Federation will be allowed to have a military presence in Sirte for at least a period of time." Zhao Jianfei whispered.
"Western countries will not be so stupid! Allow them to occupy Sirte, how is this possible?" Hammer shook his head.
"It is not an occupation, but a long-term military presence. It is impossible for countries such as the United States and France to station troops in Sirte, and there is another important port there. The threat of terrorists exists for a long time, and the Libyan government forces cannot resist. Then the safest way is to Let the Orumi Federation garrison troops there to form a local advantage over terrorists. However, although the secret agency is only a garrison, it has enough capacity to collude with local armed forces and compete with the Libyan government forces.
You know, Sirte is the hometown of Gaddafi, the former leader of Libya, and the tribal armed forces there have no favor with the current government forces. After receiving the assistance of the secret agency, these local armed forces are likely to rise again and form a strategic alliance with the secret agency, or even separate armed forces. At that time, these Sirte armed forces may even declare independence, and the secret agency can say that they are only ordered to garrison troops to fight terrorism and not interfere in Libya's internal affairs. The benefits are not small, and there is no need to bear any responsibility. "Zhao Jianfei sneered.
"This is really a big trouble." Hammer whispered. "You can support the local armed forces, why do they do this?"
"Of course they will not do this in vain. Once the militants there declare independence and are widely recognized, they can be allowed to join the Olumi Federation as an autonomous prefecture. The real annexation is achieved. Don't forget the original security. Moore, this is the Olumi Federation that has joined." Lin Rui whispered, "Anything the secret society does is purposeful."
"The United States, France and other countries, don't you just look at it like this?" Hammer frowned.
"On the one hand, they need the Olumi Federation to do things for them; on the other hand, a relatively stable situation is also a good thing for them." Lin Rui nodded. "Moreover, the secret agency is very clear about the bottom line of those big countries. As long as he doesn't cross the bottom line of their tolerance, he can do whatever he wants with the acquiescence of the Western powers." Lin Rui nodded.
