Chapter 5026: Emergency response

General Hassan was the first to arrive. He looked at Lin Rui with a grim expression, "Mr. Rick, have you heard about Braque?"
"I came to you for this." Lin Rui waved his hand, "How are the officers of your army gathered?"
"It's all here. Several troops are a little farther away. I have asked them to assemble and run over to participate in the meeting." General Hassan pulled a chair and sat down. "What do you think of Braque's situation?"
"Brak can't hold it anymore, and the Western Sahara People's Front will undoubtedly be defeated. The purpose of my coming to you is to discuss the next countermeasure." Lin Rui nodded.
General Hassan hesitated, "You mean Metmarfaq?"
Lin Rui glanced at Hassan unexpectedly, "You guessed it too?"
Hassan nodded, "I've been thinking about this issue a long time ago. Braque is beyond our reach and cannot effectively support them.
So once Braque falls, the enemy's next goal must be to continue westward. It is obviously impossible to directly attack Laayoun on behalf of Xiangxi.
The strength of Morocco is not something that the terrorists of the Jihadist Alliance can contend. So their greatest possibility is to march to the southwest.
Then Metmarfaq was the first to bear the brunt and became their primary goal. At least my opinion is this. "
Lin Rui nodded, "It is true, Metmar Fager, it is related to the fate of all of us here.
I agree with you on this point. Not only that, I think that after Braque's fall, the situation in Western Sahara will change dramatically. "
Hassan nodded solemnly. Soon, all the officers from other ministries also came.
Lin Rui told them the general process.
After introducing the general situation, Lin Rui said, "Brak has been unable to defend it now. What follows will be a huge change in the situation in Western Sahara.
The Popular Front of Western Sahara will withdraw completely. After experiencing this setback, they can no longer control the situation. The only way out is to return to Algeria.
Morocco will retreat to the surrounding areas of Laayoune more cautiously. As long as the terrorists of the Jihadist Alliance do not pose a deadly threat to Laayoune, they will not take the initiative to attack.
The next situation is definitely likely to be the battle between the Jihadist Alliance, the Orumi Federal Army, and our local joint forces.
And the enemy's main goal next step is-Metmar Faq. "
All the officers below were all talking about it.
"So we must now have a clear strategy, that is, we must firmly control Metmarfaq.
This will be the absolute focus of our next strategy. All our next tactical deployment must be carried out around this center.
I asked to gather forces as quickly as possible and enter Metmarfaq. We are going to fight a defensive battle at Metmar Faq. It is foreseeable that this will be an unprecedented fierce battle. "General Hassan stood up and added.
Lin Rui nodded, "On this point, General Hassan and I have the same opinion. The only question now is, how many troops can we use?
Is it possible to withdraw some of the troops from relatively unimportant areas and gather them all to station at Metmar Faq. "
"But Metmarfaq is a relatively special area, which has been controlled by Morocco before.
Later, although there was no clear ownership, it was always managed by the local militia. But if we are going to enter Metmarfaq on a large scale, will Morocco have any opinions? "An officer stood up and asked.
Lin Rui nodded, "We have also considered this aspect. The Moroccan side must negotiate to a certain extent. I can try to negotiate with the Moroccans on this point.
And I believe the Moroccans will agree. After all, it is better for Metmarfaq to be in our hands than in the hands of terrorists.
The Moroccan side is currently conservative. They have focused their defense on Laayoune, but they don't pay much attention to Metmarfaq.
After all, this is an important town in the south of Laayoune. If it is held by terrorists, it is not good for them.
So there should be no problem in this regard. "Lin Rui replied.
"I think there is another point. General Quinn is currently under investigation in Morocco. His troops are temporarily controlled by Harold.
Based on the relationship between this force and Morocco, I think the Moroccans should accept Harold's force and take full control of Metmar Faq. Hassan said to Lin Rui.
"Harold, what do you mean?" Lin Rui turned to look at Harold.
"Mr. Rick, I have no opinion. Any task can be given to us." Harold nodded. "Most of my brothers gathered in Emery Kli before. There are also some garrisons in several other cities.
This time I plan to mobilize all of them to Metmar Faq. Excluding the logistics unit, the total force that can be put into combat is about 4,000. "
"There are four thousand people on Harold's side, General Hassan, how many people can you mobilize?" Lin Rui turned to look at Hassan.
"I can transfer two battalions of infantry, and the total strength is nearly two thousand. In addition, I can send all the heavy artillery and one artillery regiment.
I am afraid that the remaining manpower will have to be gathered from the local army.
I roughly estimated that although the strength of a single local army unit is limited, if several local army forces are brought together.
It can also have a combat force of nearly three or four thousand. General Hassan nodded.
"Very well, I request that after the meeting is over, the troops should assemble in an emergency and start pulling out immediately. They will be stationed in Metmar Faq before dawn.
The cargo and logistics forces must leave at the same time, and every effort must be made to ensure that the logistics transportation to Metmarfaq is not interrupted.
Food, drinking water, weapons, ammunition. It will be very important for Metmarfaq. All logistic work is done by our logistic transportation unit. Lin Rui nodded.
"But I have another question. If the enemy is not in a hurry to the west and then turns to the south." An officer hesitated. "If we concentrate all the forces in several other important towns in Metmarfaq.
However, the enemy chose not to attack Metmar Faq and went directly south instead. Will they cut off our contact with the Eastern Army? Caused Odalat and other places to lose contact with our western theater? "
Lin Rui shook his head, "They won't. Because if they do, we will directly counterattack Brak from Metmarfaq.
If they want to go south, they must cross a large desert without man's land. And also have to bear the cost of losing Braque. So no matter from which point of view they consider, they will not choose this way. "
