After a long conversation, Zhao Weihu left Melbourne and flew back to the Sri Lankan Min Army Base.
Commander Santos, after careful consideration, agreed to Zhao Weihu's request and sent three armies to reinforce Sri Lanka.
The purpose of Santos doing this is not to worry about Sri Lanka, the so-called southern gateway, being breached. After all, the defense areas behind are also jagged and the defense is relatively strong. Appropriately giving up part of the buffer area will not lead to the destruction of the country and the family.
He did this mainly to appease Zhao Weihu. This Chinese general had followed the old commander in battles for more than ten years and had close ties with the Santos family, so the young commander knew his temper very well. If this man said he wanted to leave, he would definitely leave.
Once Zhao Weihu returns to Longcheng, it means that the Santos regime’s ties with the Chinese region will be cut off, and the distant East will no longer support him.
Santos could not accept this situation. The rebels had the support of one region, and if they lost the support of the Chinese region, it would be a fatal blow to the government troops.
Politics and military affairs are always about the art of compromise. If you don't have the ability to crush the whole world, then sometimes you have to bow your head, and no one is an exception.
Santos still feels that he should maintain the military policy of his father, making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones, and gaining the support of the Chinese region, which is also the key to maintaining his power.
That night, the three main armies of the old Mexican army approached Sri Lanka in the opposite direction. For a time, the areas centered on Sri Lanka and radiating to the surrounding areas began to enter a period of military tension.
…
At the same time, District 1 began to mobilize troops on a large scale, dispatching large-scale troops to begin to block Longcheng, and military control was carried out on various traffic arteries. Many trade relations with District 1 were also temporarily interrupted. A large number of trade trucks were intercepted, and civilian vehicles were forcibly repatriated.
At the same time, many media outlets in District 1 were reporting non-stop day and night, speculating that the situation in Longcheng had once again become tense.
There are many different opinions on Weibo, and many big Vs are also speculating on the future situation. Various related reposts and comments are emerging in an endless stream, and the shadow of war is beginning to hang over Longcheng and Sri Lanka.
However, this kind of military control and the escalation of public opinion are not so unacceptable to the people of Longcheng. After all, the situation between Longcheng and District 1 has often been tense before, and this has been going on for more than a year or two.
It's just that this time it's more ferocious, but the vast majority of people still insist that this time will most likely be the same as in the past, with both sides just controlling each other and exchanging verbal attacks, and there will be no war.
At least, there will be no fighting in Longcheng.
On the Sri Lankan side, the garrison and the Renmin Army also began to enter a tense state. Each unit began to take up positions according to their respective jurisdictions and entered a defensive posture.
On the military and political side, meetings are held every day to discuss the war situation and conduct simulated war simulations.
…
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, at the Sri Lankan Min Army Base.
Zhao Weihu was wearing a tattered military coat and sitting in his command room, holding a meeting with some of his core generals.
Halfway through the meeting, there was a knock on the door of the command room.
“Boom boom boom!”
The sound was very urgent, and all the generals subconsciously looked towards the gate.
"Come in!"
Following Zhao Weihu's shout, the door was pushed open, and an intelligence officer ran in anxiously and saluted him: "Commander! There is a new battle report!"
Zhao Weihu waved his hand and said, "Speak!"
"yes!"
The intelligence officer stood there and immediately said a piece of intelligence he had just received: "According to the report sent by our front-line intelligence department, the rebel army and the Warhammer military forces have already marched towards our Lanka! The total strength of both sides is more than 150,000. The heavy tanks and armored forces alone, together, have more than 20,000 people."
"One hundred and fifty thousand?"
"These damn bastards are really going all in this time!"
Upon hearing this, the generals in the command room couldn't help but change their expressions and couldn't help but talk in a low voice.
This was the first time I had seen such a large scale. This situation also made Zhao Weihu a little worried. He sat there, frowning, thinking about something.
Fei Pingsheng was also a little nervous, and couldn't help but turned his head and asked, "Commander, what should we do now?"
The generals all looked at Zhao Weihu. At this time, they were all waiting for their backbone to make a decision.
"Don't panic yet." Zhao Weihu thought about it and came up with a preliminary conclusion. He picked up his phone and dialed Li Mingsheng's private number.
The call was quickly connected, and Lao Li's steady voice sounded: "Hello?"
Zhao Weihu got straight to the point and said, "Hey, Mayor Li, I just received intelligence about the rebels. This time, their scale and the momentum of a decisive battle are unprecedented! I think they are serious this time and want to launch an unprecedented large-scale attack. Although I have a lot of troops, I must make preparations in many aspects if I want to withstand the frontal attack from the opposite side!"
Li Mingsheng's voice also became serious: "What do you want to do?"
Zhao Weihu looked at the map in front of him and immediately said, "Slanka, Longcheng, and Bana City are roughly in a triangular military strategic relationship. Now let the Anxi and Bana City's Blackwater Corps push out and clean up along the way to ensure that the passages on both sides of Lanka remain unobstructed. In this way, after the war, we can ensure that the connection between us will not be cut off, and Sri Lanka will not become an isolated city. The three of us can support each other and attack when advancing or defend when retreating."
Li Mingsheng thought about it and agreed: "No problem, I will go and communicate with the Anxi and Bana City."
Zhao Weihu nodded: "Okay, then please arrange it as soon as possible, I will wait for your news."
"good."
The two hung up the phone. Zhao Weihu looked at the huge military map in front of him and pondered for a long time. Then the generals said, "Next, we will do this..."
…
Huaqu, a military airport.
Jiangzhou looked at an airplane rising into the sky with a serious expression.
Wu Han has already set off, but the future situation is still difficult to judge.
Watching the plane gradually disappear in the air, Jiangzhou took a step forward and got into the car under the protection of several guards.
Although he was not in Longcheng, Jiangzhou had not been idle recently, running around and doing a lot of things. He was very tired at the moment, so he leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
At this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, waking Jiangzhou up. He picked it up and saw that it was Wang Xiao calling, so he answered the phone: "Hello?"
Wang Xiao said in a serious voice: "Commander Jiang, I feel that the atmosphere in Bana City is not right."
