The First Corps Air Force Base in Zone 1 was completely occupied, and they lost their front line and air superiority over the surrounding areas.
The main force of only tens of thousands of people was unable to attack Longcheng and had to hide inside the base of the First Corps, waiting for orders from above.
…
One day later, the Civil Affairs Department of a district activated its political rights during the special period and took the lead in convening a regional council.
The Republican Party and other factions responded one after another, and District 1 entered the women's meeting time.
At the meeting, the Chief of District One, the Chief of the Military and Political Council, the Chief of Staff of the Chinese Corps, as well as the heads of various administrative factions and other military and political generals were all present. In total, there were more than one hundred people present.
The huge fan-shaped conference hall was already full of people, all with different expressions and thoughts.
As soon as the meeting started, it entered into a fierce internal quarrel, full of gunpowder. Some people suggested increasing the troops, while others thought they should be withdrawn. The two suggestions conflicted with each other and neither side gave in.
"Sorry to interrupt you all, let me say a few words." At this time, the chairman of the Military and Political Council of District 1, sitting in his seat, turned on the microphone, and said in a sonorous voice: "It is obvious that the military action jointly launched by Longcheng and Lao Mo is a strong provocation and trampling on the military and political status of our District 1! Even though Longcheng is small, we will never cede this territory and let the international community laugh at us, thereby threatening our District 1's international dominance! Therefore, my opinion is to continue to mobilize the fleet, establish two new air bases, and continue to attack Longcheng! This time, we will lead this war ourselves!"
Next to him, the director-general sat in the first chair, listening to the other party's speech with an expressionless face and did not respond.
Immediately afterwards, a female speaker in her fifties who belonged to the Civil Affairs faction also turned on the microphone and said sharply: "Mr. President, I don't know whether the counterattack by Longcheng and Lao Mo is a provocation. I just want to ask you a question. If we continue to increase our troops, how many years do we plan to fight this war? When will it end? What political and military demands do we want to achieve?"
The president sat there, with his hands inserted, and said, "Dear Madam Speaker, please understand one thing. This is a war about the dignity of District One!! It is a war that we have to fight!"
The female speaker immediately said sarcastically: "But your soldiers have completely deprived District 1 of its dignity and consumed a large amount of resources in the one-year war. Please look at our financial market, where the wailing can be heard in the ice holes in the Arctic! You have lost countless battles, and our parliament and our people are paying for these failures! Please look at the problem soberly. Our troops and soldiers have long lost confidence in this war! This is a very critical point!"
Hearing this, the president could no longer sit still, and immediately stood up and said, "The previous war is not enough to explain the problem of people and harmony. Because our inland troops have never participated in large-scale wars! In the past year, it has been third-rate troops like the Red Hat Army and the armed forces of the peripheral mercenary groups who have been fighting them on our behalf! There is no doubt that once our main force is dispatched, this war will be won! ! No one can challenge the military status of District 1!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I regret your self-defeating and ridiculous remarks!! Please think back to what happened a few weeks ago! The moment you decided to increase the troops, the six major war zones entrenched in the inland of the Chinese District were activated!! It was a 600,000-man army corps and four major cruise fleets formed in the enemy's competition area!" The female speaker glanced at him and reminded him, "This is not just a war between us and Longcheng. They are supported by the Chinese District behind them! If our main force joins the war, they will also be involved in this war! Our inland will be ignited by war! History tells us that any regime and nation will fail! Just like Rome and the Tsar...!"
The president immediately said, "Then let's use Longcheng as the battlefield and continue the war with the Chinese District. The competition has lasted for a century, and a direct war will break out sooner or later!"
After listening to the female speaker, she pointed at the other party and said, "Look at your ugly appearance now, like a crazy gambler who has bet the future of District 1! All the people living here will have to pay for your madness! This is extremely absurd and ridiculous! I don't see the point of continuing to attack Longcheng and occupy it! Moreover, the military-political council has been advocating to interfere in the internal affairs of Old Mexico and manipulate the rebels to invade militarily. I think it is also very stupid! There is no oil or precious minerals there! Even the people there wear the same pants for a year in poverty! God is my witness, I can't think of any effect of interfering in such a place! I only know that every year the regional finance department will allocate hundreds of billions of military expenses to you! Let your wallets swell up! If all this is just to maintain your hypocritical and insignificant dignity, it is ridiculous! I think it's time to end this war that has cost the people money and labor! We must face the problem of Longcheng. Obviously, they are a group of people who cannot be conquered, especially with the support of the Chinese District! Political negotiation is the ultimate way to solve the problem. Unless someone wants everyone to be destroyed together."
The head of the Military and Political Council heard the other party's ridicule, and veins popped up on his forehead. He responded with powerful words: "Your remarks, in my opinion, are extremely cowardly behavior! Just like what you showed in bed!! "
The entire meeting hall was stunned when they heard this. Even the general manager himself was confused. He couldn't help but slap the table and turned to the president and said, "Pay attention! Your words are not in line with your status!"
“Wow!”
The female speaker stood up, picked up the cup of water in front of her, and splashed it on the other person's face, cursing: "Shut your stinky mouth! You old-fashioned thing! Your performance on the battlefield is as incompetent as your body that is aging day by day!"
No matter what kind of organization or unit it is, when faced with headwinds, internal conflicts are inevitable. This is also true for the region. This meeting caused the two factions, which were already as hostile as fire and water, to tear each other apart.
Of course, many people at the scene could not help but remain silent, secretly wondering what the relationship between these two bosses was and why they could point out each other's shortcomings so accurately
During this closed-door meeting, the two sides continued to argue and were very aggressive towards each other. The opposition faction, led by the Democratic Progressive Party, completely rejected the military-political meeting, as well as the previous political methods and military arrangements of the Republican Party.
As for the Republican Party, it had previously manipulated external armed forces to fight a defeat and lost a lot of public support. The current Prime Minister is also facing the crisis of stepping down.
A week later, after maintaining stability within Longcheng, Su Tianyu once again sent troops to the forward base of the First Corps.
This time, the other side did not engage in fierce confrontation, but chose to retreat, gave up the garrison area, and began to move inland towards Area 1.
…
District 1, Washington DC.
Chinese Corps Headquarters, inside the military hospital.
In a luxurious private ward, Kang Dinghuang, wearing a hospital gown, was standing in front of the window, smoking silently. After this period of recuperation, his health had recovered somewhat.
At this moment, Kang Dinghuang stared at the sky in the direction of Longcheng, took a deep puff of cigarette, and said softly: "Everything is really over..."
