Chapter 1050 Crazy
The offensive of the civilian armed forces lasted for eight hours. It was not until the sky began to turn white that control of the airport fell completely into the hands of the civilian armed forces. Seeing that the decline was irreversible, the Ukrainian army and Arrow Company were forced to withdraw from Dnipropetrovsk, handing over this strategically important town across the third largest river in Europe.
The news of the great victory on the Dnieper River took wings and flew to every corner of the world, so that many people have not yet recovered from this sudden "accident".
Regarding the outcome of this battle, some people are also happy and some are worried.
Russia immediately sent a congratulatory message to the civilian armed forces and once again urged the Ukrainian government to make a choice that conforms to the trend of history. The United States sent warnings to Russia, civilian armed forces, and Star Trading, calling on mercenary organizations not to add fuel to the fire in Ukraine...
Jiang Chen, who was far away on Coro Island, had a good sleep that night after receiving the battle report.
Although victory is expected, what could be more satisfying than hearing the news of victory with your own ears?
Of course, although this war was won easily, the cost was not small at all.
In just eight hours, Starlink Trading fired more than two thousand terminal-guided tungsten core projectiles toward the Ukrainian military positions. The cost of space-based weapons alone was as high as S$100 million. Of course, the bulk of this expense will be borne by Russia, so Jiang Chen doesn't feel bad about burning this money at all.
Just as Jiang Chen expected, the victory in the Ukrainian battlefield directly affected the revolution thousands of kilometers away. The civilian armed forces crossed the Dnieper River and completely burned the war into the originally peaceful western Ukraine. Kiev, which was firmly located in the upper reaches of the Dnieper River, was no longer safe.
Ukraine has stood at a historical node. Whether to go east or west has become an issue that the entire world has to pay attention to. This is related to whether NATO's frontline is in Ukraine or Poland at home.
"A bunch of trash!"
The battle report was slammed on the table.
The office was quiet, and apart from Carmen's heavy breathing, no extra sound could be heard. Including Johnson and the executives of Arrow Company, everyone standing in front of his desk lowered their heads and remained silent.
Carmen's chest heaved violently, and her bloodshot eyes could no longer see the haze, replaced only by madness.
"The strongest equipment has been sent to you. One division cannot stop two brigades. Are your defenses made of paper?"
Saldes lowered his head;
As the CEO of Arrow Company, he wanted to make things easier for soldiers on the front line. In the face of the "space-based weapons" of Starlink Trading, their concrete fortifications and tanks were just like paper.
And the real reason for their failure was not because of those terrifying space-based weapons, but because the air superiority was no longer in their hands from the beginning to the end. The F35 cannot yet benefit from the Aurora-20, let alone the old MiG-29s of the Ukrainian government army and the second-hand F-18s supported by Western countries.
However, Saldes did not speak after all. He knew very well that his boss was angry. At this time, it was definitely more effective to lower his head and be scolded than to raise his head and argue.
The silence lasted for a long time. Carmen took a deep breath, calmed down, and spoke slowly.
“How is the situation in Germany?”
"It's not good..." Johnson hesitated, gritted his teeth, and finally said, "The German 10th Armored Division is fighting the rebels in Bavaria. Although it has achieved certain results, the number of rebels has not decreased. Increased. Yesterday at noon, the 23rd Mountain Infantry Brigade was blocked by a human wall when it entered the city of Munich. The 12th Armored Brigade encountered incendiary flasks thrown by citizens several times. If this continues, we may lose Bavaria..."
"We must not lose Bavaria." Carmen seemed to have regained her senses and said in a calm voice, "Send an additional division of mercenaries to Bavaria."
"We can't afford that many people," Sardes buried his head and said bravely, "Our combat power has been contained on the battlefield in Ukraine. If we mobilize troops from Ukraine, the Ukrainian government forces will not be able to stop them. Civilian armed forces and Star Ring Trade join forces, so we may lose the entire Ukraine..."
Germany cannot lose Bavaria, and Europe cannot lose Ukraine. For Carmen, this is a dilemma.
After thinking for a moment, Carmen made a decision.
"It seems that Germany's military service system needs to be adjusted. Since no one wants to be a soldier, then we will change the recruitment system to a conscription system and expand the establishment from three divisions to ten divisions."
Johnson and Saldes looked at each other, and they could see each other's worry in their pupils. Everyone standing in this office knows that changing the law at this time is definitely a bad idea, but no one dares to say anything at this moment.
If it were two years ago... No, even if it was a year ago, Carmen would never have made such a reckless decision. However, I don’t know when it started. His ambition exceeded what he had, or what he had in total. The strength possessed by the Franciscans.
"It is impossible for the Bundesrat to pass this proposal to amend the law. The Minister of Defense had proposed this earlier, but was rejected by the Speaker. We have considerable influence in the Senate, but some people have begun to question it. We are moving Germany—" The middle-aged man standing next to Saldes tried to persuade Carmen from the perspective of feasibility, but was interrupted by his incomprehensible voice.
"I will convince those losers." Carmen said calmly, and then glanced at Johnson, "Let them understand who is the master of this country."
Johnson secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded sternly, turned around and left the room where he didn't want to stay for a second longer.
The middle-aged man said nothing more, but took a deep breath, looked left and right subtly, and spoke. "Petry is still on a diplomatic visit to Sweden...I'm going to make a phone call to ask him to come back."
"Well, go ahead."
After receiving permission, the middle-aged man left the room with relief.
There were only three people left in the room. Except for Saldes, who was the CEO of Arrow Company, the other two were the managers of Arrow Company’s branches in Ukraine and Germany. From the beginning of this meeting to the present, both of them were buried. He didn't say a word.
"Nate."
"Yes." The strong man with obvious Jewish ancestry took half a step forward and responded in a deep voice.
"The only thing I ask of you is to defend Kiev." After a moment of pause, Carmen smiled slightly, lowered her voice and continued, "Remember, this is your last chance."
All the muscles in Nate's body trembled involuntarily, and fear flashed from his eyes. He knew very well what this so-called last chance meant to him. Cold sweat gradually seeped out from his forehead. Looking directly at Carmen, he struggled to squeeze out a word from his throat.
"yes……"
"Very well, let's go down." Carmen nodded, indicating that he could leave, and then looked at the other manager, "Mr. Derek, please step forward."
Derek didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately took a step forward, speaking quickly
"Promise to complete the mission!"
"Really? You didn't even ask about any tasks? Very good." Carmen nodded with satisfaction, "At least your attitude satisfies me."
Just when Derek heaved a sigh of relief, his boss suddenly took out a pistol from his pocket and shot him in the head with "Bang!"
The firelight flickered and blood stained the cashmere carpet.
Unable to even dodge, Derek stared wide-eyed, maintaining his stunned expression, and fell backwards to the ground.
He didn't understand why he died.
Carmen quickly answered his confusion, but he couldn't hear it anymore.
"It's understandable that we can't win the Star Ring Trade. After all, the equipment gap is there. If you can't even deal with a group of mobs, what's the point of keeping you?" Carmen said slowly, raising his chin slightly. He gently placed the silver-plated revolver on the table.
Saldes felt that his calves were getting weak. He did not dare to look at his boss or his colleague lying next to him.
"Saldes."
"Yes, yes!" Saldes' answer was even out of tune because of his trembling.
Carmen smiled and said softly.
"Carry him out and congratulate the deputy manager of the German branch for me on his promotion."
"Yes..." After swallowing and spitting, Saldes bent his stiff waist and knees, holding Derek on his shoulders.
"By the way, remind him one more thing for me." Looking at Saldes walking towards the door, Carmen stopped him and said in an emotionless tone, "In one month, I will only give him one Months of time. I will see his results after one month. Otherwise, the man on your shoulders will be his example." (To be continued.) New URL is enabled
