In response to Lin Tiansheng's doubts, Du Fei took another sip of Coke and said, "Just watch~ They won't fight so easily. If my guess is correct, Li S's special envoy should have arrived in Saigon by now."
Hearing this argument, Lin Tiansheng frowned. Although it was somewhat inconsistent with his judgment, the judgment that Du Fei had shown all along convinced him even more.
However, whether Yueguo will fight or not is not a big issue for the time being. On the contrary, there is one thing at the moment that they must make a decision.
Lin Tiansheng said "hmm" and then said: "By the way, let's put this aside for now. The prince of Zhenla came to us yesterday and hoped that we could take the opportunity to attack..."
After hearing this, Du Fei curled his lips and said: "Start an attack now? It's really a beautiful idea, so impatient to pick peaches."
Lin Tiansheng also snorted softly.
At this time, it is obviously inappropriate to make such a request, not to mention that there was nothing serious about this war from the beginning.
The Nanyang intimidation troops of Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng came to fight at the invitation of Siam, not Zhenla.
And from beginning to end, Chenla did not dispatch regular troops to join the intimidation force, nor did it provide any military expenditures.
Since you have no obligations, how can you try to enjoy power?
It would be foolish to jump out to pick peaches at this time.
Du Fei said: "If we attack at this time, we will be embarrassed if we push back the Yue people."
Lin Tiansheng frowned and said in a low voice: "But on the other side of the capital... this prince is not a fool. Since he made such a request, he must have passed the gas in advance and obtained some promises."
When Du Fei heard this, he frowned slightly: "Is there any news over there?"
Lin Tiansheng said: "He went to see him, but our old man excused himself because he was unwell. Where are you?"
Du Fei also shook his head: "It should be another way. No matter who it is, we just pretend that we don't know. As for his request... Since he wants to attack, give him some guns and let him recruit people.
Go fight."
Lin Tiansheng looked at the large battle map on the wall and sighed, "What a pity."
Du Fei knew what he was regretting. Ever since Wu Ting came to the front line and regained command, Lin Tiansheng was gearing up and wanted to fight a big battle with him.
Although there were Ruan Xiongqi and Huang Wen before, the quality was somewhat lacking.
In his eyes, Wu Ting was the only person in Yue Guo who had the ability to command large armies in battle.
Unfortunately, due to formalities, Wu Ting quickly reached a secret agreement with Du Fei after arriving at the front line.
During the Saigon Incident, Wu Ting's main force withdrew, causing them to completely lose the opportunity for a head-on confrontation.
As for Zhenla, he didn't care at all.
Due to the geographical location, history and culture, Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng did not have the possibility to occupy and govern this place.
Geographically, this place is far away from their core Borneo. Even if it is taken by force, it will form an enclave and the defense will be very passive.
In terms of history and culture, Chenla established a fruit family very early and has a very unique national culture. In this regard, it is not comparable to the bulk fruit families of Ink that were forcibly kneaded through colonization.
To win here, the governance costs required far exceed the value it can provide.
In a place like this, it would be better not to take it.
But having said that, just because Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng don't want it doesn't mean they want to return this place to the original Zhenla royal family.
However, there must be an explanation for this matter, otherwise as the Yueguo side transfers more and more forces back, the 200,000-strong Nanyang Intimidation Force staying here will look even more awkward.
But withdrawal is definitely not possible. With these 200,000 people here, Wu Ting has the confidence to occupy Saigon and support his troops.
As for the prince... Du Fei thought for a moment and said, "Next time he comes to see you, just leave him alone and let Gu Dan deal with him later."
Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng were somewhat wary of the prince. After all, he had some connections in the capital and had been vigorously promoted as a model of interpersonal friendship. There were some things they couldn't do too much.
But as the king of Siam, Gu Dan didn't have so many scruples. What's more, there were more than 40,000 Siamese soldiers in the current intimidation force, so there were many means at his disposal.
…
On the other hand, Du Fei guessed wrong.
Wu Ting did not see the special envoy from Hanoi, but directly talked to Li S on the phone.
There is some noise on the phone, but it does not affect the call.
Wu Ting held the receiver in his hand and could hear the breathing on the other side. It was obvious that the person on the other side of the phone was not emotionally stable.
Wu Ting is also not as calm as it seems. Taking this step now is ultimately contrary to some of the ideals in his heart.
"What on earth do you want to do?" came the suppressed question on the phone.
Things have developed so far, which is completely beyond Li S's expectation. When he decided to replace Huang Wen, he considered many candidates, but felt that they were not safe.
In the end, there was no way to let Wu Ting regain military power again, but Li S was confident that he could control the overall situation. As long as he controlled the supply and logistics at the rear, even if Wu Ting had an army of more than 200,000 people, he would not be able to make a big splash.
What's more, Wu Ting is going to fight a tough battle this time. Although Lin Tiansheng is young, he has shown strong commanding ability. It will not be easy for Wu Ting to stabilize the situation. There is no way to think of anything else.
However, to his surprise, Du Fei contacted Wu Ting directly, gave up the opportunity to pursue the victory, and allowed Wu Ting and his group to quickly control the troops from top to bottom.
And this is another reason why Li S dared to let Wu Ting come out. Most of the middle and senior officers below were people he had installed. Even if Wu Ting went, in a short period of time, he would still be an ordinary commander. He would have no problem commanding the battle and controlling the army.
Forget about the troops.
But after all, he underestimated the foundation of Wu Ting's family, and also underestimated the change in Wu Ting's mentality after losing military power and regaining it.
Wu Ting said solemnly: "I am doing what I think is right. I cannot just watch Comrade Ruan Aiguo's career be destroyed by your ambition..."
The two fell into silence for more than ten seconds, and the other person on the phone sighed: "Do we have to go to this point? We finally drove away America and sacrificed so many comrades to restore the unity of the Guo family, and now you still want to
Separate him again..."
Wu Ting frowned and interrupted: "Okay, if you just want to talk about this, I think there is no need to go on."
There was silence again. If it weren't for the sound of breathing, I would have thought the line had been disconnected.
Wu Ting didn't say anything, patiently waiting for the next step.
After a while, Li S finally said: "Come back to Hanoi, we are still close comrades-in-arms, and I will take my seat for you! Didn't you always criticize me before and shouldn't get close to Su Lian? Now let you do it,
I want to see how far you can go... Yue Guo can't bleed any more! In order to drive away the invaders, we won't hesitate to shed more blood, but we shouldn't let those children die in the internal fighting.
!”
Wu Ting lowered his eyes, and he could hear the sincerity of what was said on the other side.
But he didn't believe Li's words and asked him to go back to Hanoi. What a joke. As long as he goes back, he will be placed under house arrest and then he will 'die of serious illness'.
After regaining military power this time, he figured out many things.
It's just a bait to let him sit in that position. If you are really sincere, why let him go instead of the other party coming to Saigon?
However, there was something he agreed with in these words, that is, Yue Guo should not bleed anymore.
From Wu Ting's point of view, regardless of the overall situation or his personal point of view, he does not want to fight with each other.
To put it bluntly, there are two important reasons why he has reached this stage now: first, the Li S group had squeezed him out too hard before; second, his group of people had suffered a lot of cowardice in the past few years, and now
After finally seizing the opportunity, we must put him in this position. Only if he stabilizes the people below can we stabilize him.
Therefore, no matter what, he cannot retreat.
But being unable to retreat does not mean that we have to 'advance'. Wu Ting believes that maintaining the status quo for the time being is a better result and trying to keep the spear within a controllable range.
It's just that he is not sure whether Li S will accept this result with his strong character.
As for the future, it depends on which of them lives longer.
…
After ending the call, in the office in Hanoi, Li S put down the phone with a solemn expression.
This was the first time he directly spoke to Wu Ting after the Saigon Incident.
If you still had some unrealistic hopes before, you must give up your fantasies after this call.
There were several people in the office who were his confidants, and most of them were wearing military uniforms.
Li S glanced around, especially those in military uniforms.
Although these people's eyes were firm, how could he not see their guilty consciences with his sophistication.
The name of a person and the shadow of a tree are so famous in the Yueguo Martial Court that even though they still have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, no one dares to boast that they can lead troops to quell the rebellion.
What's more, there are other external factors, such as Huaguo's attitude.
Regardless of whether there is any movement in the north, they must keep heavy defense forces in place.
There are also the 200,000 Nanyang intimidation troops in Chenla. After nearly three years of combat, that team and its commanders have proven their combat effectiveness, high morale, sophisticated equipment, and strong combat and tactical command capabilities, making this team
Under the same strength conditions, the troops are enough to defeat the most elite troops of Vietnam.
They are using troops to attack the south. Once the military court shows signs of decline, these other troops will definitely participate in the battle.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
At this moment, Li S felt extremely regretful. Why did he give Wu Ting a chance in the first place, and why did he think he could control him?
…
The first half of 1979.
Although the Saigon Incident suddenly broke out, after repeated weighing, testing, and consideration, both parties finally chose to exercise restraint.
In terms of public opinion, this incident was quickly suppressed by Sulian's actions in Afhan.
With America's aid, Afghan guerrillas sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and they were as elusive as moles in the mountains of Afghanistan, trying to give the Soviet army a chill.
Faced with this situation, Sulian was quite passive.
In fact, in this situation, it is best to use the locals to control the locals and let the supported Kabul government deal with the guerrillas.
In addition to the weapons and financial support from America, these guerrillas rely most heavily on the local warlords of Afhan for their existence.
These people can completely use their interests to divide and disintegrate, pull one faction together and fight another faction.
But this time Polezhny obviously doesn't want to play that kind of hypocritical game anymore. He wants to get through Induyang, he wants to capture Afhan, and he doesn't want to pretend anymore.
But in Moscow, even Androbo could not change his will.
We can only eliminate the cancers on the rear supply lines through drastic arrests in Central Asia.
Needless to say, at least the information in Du Fei's hands shows that the current situation of the Soviet army is much better than the world before he traveled.
Maybe the war broke out early and Sulian's situation was better.
It may also be that Androbo's actions have achieved some results.
But this cannot change the essential problems faced by SMU.
As a global power, it lacks some historical heritage, from the crazy expansion of the Romanov dynasty to the peak moment of the Soviet Union.
They never learned how to rule the largest country in the world.
Even now, almost thirty years after the end of World War II, they have not completely transformed from a wartime economy.
It's like a huge bull, with great strength and momentum, but it can't turn.
Furthermore, unlike America, Su Lian is naturally insecure and will harm anyone he sees.
America sits on two oceans, with Mexico to the south and Canada to the north. The advantage of its geographical location allowed him to continue to develop in the early stages.
Until it became the first industrial power, it also won great victories at a very small cost in the two world wars.
On the other hand, Sulian has faced the crisis of national annihilation time and time again, from the Napoleonic era to the rise of independent countries, and finally the revenge of Dusan.
Although I won the final victory every time, it was a miserable victory every time.
During the Napoleonic era, Moscow was burned, World War I directly destroyed the Russian Empire, and World War II killed a man of an era.
Even a normal person will become abnormal if he encounters this situation three times in a row.
Hysterical, sensitive and paranoid, simple and crude, black and white...
With this kind of mental state of fast connection, no matter how powerful the body is, it will be difficult to go far in the long run.
In the world before Dufy's time travel, there was always a saying that after Polezhne, Androbo's reforms changed the atmosphere of Sulian. It is said that if Androbo did not die too early, there would be hope for change.
Quick-connected characters.
Du Fei disagreed. Androbo was a very good surgeon, but he could not cure mental illness.
Moreover, he is also a patient himself, and his background in a special department makes him very limited. He may be able to make repairs, but he cannot change the fundamental problem.
The only thing that might be different is that if Androbo lives a few more years, it won't be the turn of the prodigal Comrade Ge to come to power.
…
Du Fei was sitting in his office, looking at the intelligence materials in front of him.
What was on his mind was another thing. Recently, Du Fei had been hoping to obtain America's Stinger missiles, but he encountered considerable resistance from America.
This was not intentionally targeting Du Fei, but as the Avhan War progressed, new arguments arose within America.
There has been a lot of noise in the Parliament and All Saints' Tunnel about whether to provide more advanced Stinger missiles to the Afhan guerrillas.
And this directly affects Duffy's OEM progress.
"It seems I have to put some pressure on America~" Du Fei thought.
