This war that broke out in the New Year did not attract the attention of countries around the world.
As two small countries on the most chaotic continent, Custer and Yinmulan do not occupy unique geographical locations, do not have a coveted industrial chain of large interests, and have no key factors that can win over as ideological partners. In the eyes of the international community, this is just a war between two ordinary countries.
International organizations similar to the United Nations only call on the two countries to cease fire and resolve disputes in a peaceful way - but you must know that war itself is a continuation of political means. When a war breaks out, it means that all peaceful means have lost their effect.<
/p>
Therefore, international organizations only made a few appeals at regular meetings, but nothing more happened.
This war, which took place in a corner of a chaotic continent, had an even greater impact on the world than the arrival of the New Year.
Most people in unrelated countries saw this news in the corner of the news, and then turned around and forgot about it. In the hearts of irrelevant people, this is a leisure conversation far away from their lives, and it is not even as attractive as buying new year's goods.
Only the people of the two countries can truly feel that the war is happening around them.
After the war broke out, although Yin Mulan was prepared in advance to withstand the first wave of Custer's offensive, the former's command soon discovered that Custer had already planned it for a long time. Even though they were prepared to block it
After the first wave of offensive, the Custer Federation's all-round attack was not something they could easily block.
Yin Mulan's mobilization has not yet been completely completed, and the industrial relocation is far from complete. Even the large quantities of weapons and equipment ordered from the Star Alliance Empire have not all arrived. At this time, although the soldiers of Yin Mulan's army and the people of this country are protected
The country and the buffs for resisting invasion are added, but they still cannot make up for the military power gap between the two sides.
Since Custer came to power, the military government has been aggressively militarizing. They basically spent all the country's money on arms purchases and borrowed a lot of foreign debt. Therefore, at this time, the country was basically running in debt. If it was not supplemented by the dividends from foreign wars,
With this deficit, it may self-destruct on the spot and turn into a warlord country that is no different from the chaos in the central region of the continent.
Therefore, facing Custer, who had a certain strength advantage, Yimlan's military decided that it could not hold on.
What's more, most of the bridges on the river on the border between the two countries are currently controlled by the Custer Federation, so this easily defendable and difficult-to-attack barrier that was originally most suitable for blocking the enemy's advance is no longer so unbreakable - Ka
St's army can use the bridge to deliver its troops to Yimlan's territory at any time.
At the request of the headquarters, the Yimlan army decided to abandon their front-line positions and not confront Custer in a short period of time. They began to gradually retreat. The headquarters decided to use the rivers, towns and woodlands within the country as support for defense.
.
The Custer federal army naturally marched straight in.
However, compared to the beginning of the war, Yin Mulan has completed the war propaganda at this time, and the domestic fighting spirit is high. The Yin Mulan army retreating to the country is determined not to let the enemy advance and trample on its own land. This second line of defense begins
Fight the Custer.
Subsequently, Custer's army found that their attack was hindered again.
Custer took advantage of his military strength to barely maintain a slow advance.
However, due to the constant threats and harassment from the Yinmulan people, their progress in a day may only be a few kilometers at most.
Custer's air force also fought together, but the Yimlan air force fought bravely, and several enemy air operations were successfully defeated. Although Custer also used the air force to do some things, such as conducting some close-range air operations.
In support, some domestic radar stations of Yin Mulan were destroyed and some of Yin Mulan's fighter planes were destroyed, but it was far from enough to play a strategic role.
Therefore, within this week, they began a slow tug-of-war around this second line of defense.
During this period, the only people who were not affected by the war were probably the Star Alliance Empire personnel in Yin Mulan.
Since the Jizui Squadron shot down two Custer fighters on the night before the New Year, there have been no flying missions this week. The superiors said that the current air situation is relatively tense, so their takeoff will cause unnecessary trouble——
Therefore, their mission became to help Yin Mulan train pilots.
These Yinmulan pilots were outstanding talents selected from their air force. They received the first batch of F-15e fighters they purchased from the empire and formed a heavy fighter squadron that is extremely rare in the Yinmulan Air Force.
In order to help them form combat capabilities as soon as possible, two pilots, Wang Yu and Wen Xuan, were invited to introduce these new pilots to fighter operations and combat methods. This time, even their weapons controllers were not left behind, and were also invited.
Go and explain the use of some anti-ground weapon systems to the back seat ballast selected by Yin Mulan.
In the blink of an eye, their one-month mission was coming to an end, but they never mentioned how to evacuate. The mission leader, Colonel Zhao, just asked everyone to stand by in Yin Mulan and continue to wait for orders from their superiors. p>
This is indeed a difficult situation for the empire, but after such a long time, I think the result will be reached soon.
…………
Finally, one morning, the members of the Jizhou Squadron were called to the briefing room by Colonel Zhao.
He looked quite serious this time, obviously he had received some serious information from his superiors.
"I know you must be very anxious waiting for the news." Colonel Zhao omitted all the opening remarks that could be omitted, and went straight to the point, "So I called you here today to convey the latest notice from the superiors about this mission." Several people in the seats leaned forward subconsciously. They were really concerned about how the mission would develop next.
As a result, Colonel Zhao was very surprised when he spoke: "First of all, it is the final decision. The empire will not withdraw us. On the contrary, we will stay here to help the Principality of Yimlan resist the invasion of the Custer Federation to a certain extent.
."
"The Empire has decided to join the war?!"
Wenxuan immediately exclaimed.
Wang Yu also raised his eyebrows when he heard Colonel Zhao's words. This was indeed something he didn't expect.
If the Empire joins the war, it will be useless no matter how ferocious the Custer Federation looks at the moment. They have no power to resist against the Empire's overwhelming military strength - even if the Empire does not suppress the border with a large army and only sends two of its aircraft carrier battle groups
Coming to the west coast of the mainland can also serve as a sufficient deterrent to Custer.
Not to mention how much advantages satellites can bring to the battle situation.
While Wang Yu was thinking wildly, Colonel Zhao waved his hand.
"Don't think about it. It's not what you think. I will explain the specific situation next." He knocked on the table in front of him to refocus everyone's attention. "Although the empire has decided so, it has no intention of directly participating in the war.
."
"We, the regular army of the empire, are asked to help the Yinmulan people to fight back the invasion, but we also say that we will not participate in the war..." Liu Lingxin touched her chin, "This is interesting. Is the empire going to find some way to hide our identity?" p>
"Lieutenant Liu is right." Colonel Zhao nodded, "Our future identity will be international volunteers."
"International Brigade?!"
Wang Yu subconsciously exclaimed.
What Spanish Civil War?
The empire engages in international brigades, well, isn’t this a bit...
"...What column?" Colonel Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then returned to the original topic, "I know you may have some doubts, so I will explain the specific situation to you in detail."<
/p>
Several people nodded and listened attentively to Colonel Zhao's words.
"First of all, what prompted the superiors to make this decision was an interesting intelligence discovery." He opened the tablet and projected the picture on the white screen.
The picture shows a slightly thin figure with deep eye sockets and a high hairline.
"This man's name is Anton Yudintsev, and he is the leader of the 'Gaijin' mercenary group active on this continent."
Colonel Zhao looked at the information in his hand and introduced the person on the screen to everyone: "The reason why I introduce him to you is because this grand commander appeared in the capital of the Custer Federation and attracted the attention of our intelligence personnel -
—After all, Captain Anton and his mercenary group are active in the central part of the continent and have always been paid attention to by our people. After more careful investigation by intelligence personnel, they found that the Custer Federation had reached an agreement with the Gaijin mercenary group, and the mercenaries
The Corps will help the Custer Federation in the war..."
With the introduction of Colonel Zhao, several people gradually understood the specific situation.
For the current Custer Federation, the more power, the better.
So when Mr. Anton Yudintsev showed his willingness to let his mercenary group cooperate with the Custer Federation, Custer's president immediately agreed to this cooperation request.
You know, the Gaijin Mercenary Group is a huge team. Although they are called "mercenaries", they are more like a large security company, larger than mercenaries, and an active military under warlords.
Organization.
They have their own air forces and ground forces, and they are quite large in number. They are a combat force that cannot be ignored.
The jobs I usually accept are not trivial tasks, but big jobs such as helping a warlord win the war.
The difference between this kind of large mercenary group and conventional mercenaries/air pirates is that these large mercenary groups have the ability to purchase arms in the international arms market. Unlike conventional mercenaries or air pirates, they can only be eliminated by others.
Equipment.
Therefore, the strength of the Gaijin Mercenary Group cannot be underestimated. It is a powerful collaborator for the Custer Federation.
Custer believes that this mercenary group has an air force that has even used third-generation aircraft, and it also has a ground force that is not weak, with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. Although the scale is not as good as the regular army here, it is at best
It can only be used alone as a special force, but it is undoubtedly qualified to join the war.
Even if used properly and used in some special occasions, it can become a reliable force.
Therefore, Custer reached an agreement with Captain Anton.
"Could it be that the reason why the empire decided to let us get involved in the war was because of this mercenary group?" Wenxuan asked again.
"Of course not." Colonel Zhao shook his head, "This reason is completely insufficient. After all, hiring mercenaries in war is not uncommon. We have no reason to let our own people join the war just because Custer hired mercenaries.
”
"That's because..."
"The reason is still behind." Colonel Zhao continued, "In Anton's mercenary group, our intelligence personnel discovered a very interesting thing, that is Anton's deputy, the man named Vyacheslav
Baranikov's mercenary group staff officer has a very interesting identity. This name is obviously not his real name, but a pseudonym - there are some wonderful coincidences in some contents in our archives, so the empire
After a comparison, it was found that this guy actually has a background in the Asia Federation. It is obvious that Captain Anton also knows these things. In other words, the current Gaijin mercenary group cooperating with Custer may be influenced by Aisia.
The instructions of the West Asian Federation."
Wang Yu touched his chin: "Agent?"
"He is actually an agent of the Asia Federation?" Liu Lingxin was a little surprised, "Did the war that took place on this continent actually involve the federation that is across the sea from the empire?"
"It's not that it's involved, but it plays a big part in it." Colonel Zhao sighed, "Star Alliance and Asia have been competing for world hegemony for a long time. Yin Mulan is our friendly country and has always been for the empire.
It supplies a large amount of resources, so it is normal for the Asia Federation to support the Custer Federation through its agents and provide us with eye drops."
"Is that why we have to end it ourselves?"
"That's right." Colonel Zhao nodded, "And there is definite evidence that there are military personnel from the Asia Federation in the Gaijin mercenary group, and they are helping Custer in this war - this also means that the Asia Federation
The West Asian Federation has broken the rules of the game, so we have sufficient reasons to intervene unofficially."
Several people nodded, and then Wang Yu seemed to have thought of something.
"Is it just us?" he asked, "Ji Zhou Squadron only has two fighters, and the opponent is a mercenary group. Is this combat power gap a bit too huge?"
"Don't worry, the superiors naturally have plans." Colonel Zhao said, "Yin Mulan has hired the e&p security company endorsed by our country as a response to the Gaijin mercenary group. We will also have several people from China here.
Fighter planes came to support, although the number is not large, but the support this time is a squadron of ace pilots, so you can even learn a lot from them."
"I don't think it's unusual to have an ace."
Liu Lingxin complained in a low voice: "My commander is someone who can even defeat the instructor. He is definitely no worse than those so-called aces."
Wang Yu reached out and tapped Liu Lingxin on the head.
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world." He said, "Don't talk about me as if I am invincible."
