Chapter 904： : Navy!

France. Seventh district in the center of Paris.

A very common two-story building, here is the Army Headquarters, which the French call "Brenne Palace", has been the office and residence of the head of the French military department since 1787. Due to the small space and limited area, this building can only accommodate the Army Headquarters to work in the basement, and the Navy and Air Force Headquarters have to find another place.

At this time, dozens of reporters were outside and wanted to apply to go in for interviews, but they were all rejected.

At this time, a black car drove in, and those reporters were like sharks smelling blood, and their colleagues rushed over.

The security personnel in suits hurriedly separated the reporters, and when they got off the back seat of the car, the head of the Army Operations Department: Jim.

His face was very solemn, and he turned a blind eye to the reporters next to him who handed over the microphone.

"Mr. Jim, is it true that the GCP special forces uploaded by the Savior Company were wiped out in Somalia? Does Major Van Quinton really have such a person?"

"Sir, sir, is France going to use troops against Somalia? What is the reason? Is it going to go through the Security Council?"

…

Jim pretended he didn't hear it. After entering the headquarters, a reporter wanted to go in, but was stopped by security personnel.

But this cannot stop journalists who want to "free speech", someone will always find a way.

Jim quickly walked up to the second floor without even taking the elevator. Yes, there is an elevator on the second floor. Maybe this is the romance of the French. Otherwise, it would not have cost 4.2 billion euros to build A new building was built, for what? It's style.

Some staff members rushed to say hello when they saw Jim, but he didn't seem to see it. He went straight to the meeting room and opened the door. The air inside was filled with the faint smell of fermented tobacco from cigars.

And those present are all bigwigs from the Army Headquarters, all generals.

"Are you here?" Army Commander Andrew Byron, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at his watch, "You arrived in 40 minutes."

Jim's face was not very good, and he made an excuse, "There is a traffic jam."

Admiral Andrew thinks this excuse sucks, but now is not the time to ask about the traffic jam on that road, motions him to sit down, pushes down his glasses, this is old, always a bit presbyopic, "Savior's special account on Yahoo Did you see it?"

"Not yet...not yet."

Now, the other people in the headquarters gave him a very dissatisfied look. This chief of operations is really incompetent, and he still smells of perfume, so he must have gone somewhere again.

Admiral Andrew handed over the printout in his hand, Jim took it with both hands, looked at it, and heard the former say, "Major Van Quinton, martyred."

"The East African Storm Plan Failed."

This made the entire conference room quiet down, and everyone dared not speak out. The proposer of this plan was actually Admiral Andrew. He was a typical admirer of special operations, especially after the Falklands War. The investment is increasing every year, and the GCP paratrooper regiment is also the "elite" model he proposed.

But this model has now been wiped out!

Admiral Andrew can still say it lightly, and his mental capacity is quite strong, but everyone here is an old politician, so he immediately understands what this means, and finds someone to be a scapegoat!

32 elite soldiers died. This was a serious military command error. Someone needs to stand up and take it down. Otherwise, it would be a regular army in the form of mercenaries, but Van Quinton is French!

His family enjoys the treatment of French citizens, give the reporter time, and they will be found soon.

The Army Command needs to come up with a policy at this time.

"The Savior Company is provoking!" Jim suddenly slapped the table and said, filled with righteous indignation, the atmosphere was great, the veins on his forehead began to tense, and he said angrily, "We should avenge Major Van Quinton and the others!"

Respond to his indifference and the mockery in his eyes.

When did politicians start caring about a soldier's life?

That doesn't feel like Jim's character at all.

"I'll send you an assault rifle and a grenade later, Minister Jim, the time has come when France needs you." Someone said eccentrically.

Jim suddenly looked at a lieutenant general sitting across from him, with a black face, "Isn't it? I think troops should be sent directly from Djibouti, united with the Marcel tribe, attack Mogadishu, and let Ethiopia jointly attack Somalia , Let the Ocasie government abdicate, and hand over the murderer, Nicholas Tang! We will try him locally."

Admiral Andrew was dumbfounded, not to mention the other people below, looking at each other.

"Is this drinking too much?"

"I think so, I can smell him."

"It's true, if you can't drink, sit at the dog's table, and we won't drink with him next time."

Spread information with each other through eyelids.

The lieutenant general who retorted laughed out loud, and when everyone looked over, he waved his hands, "I'm sorry, I can't help laughing when I hear someone boasting."

Jim looked angry, "General Halley, what do you mean?"

"I said you have a brain problem, didn't you hear it?" The other party was also a tough person, and he went straight to him, "Can you guarantee that there will be no casualties in our army?"

"War sacrifices are inevitable." Jim was still emphasizing, "My boys will not be afraid of war."

Lieutenant General Halley sneered at these words. What can a politician understand? War was never as simple as it was said to be. He looked at Admiral Andrew, who was a veteran. He must understand what it would mean if he sent troops.

That is completely involved in the war!

This is something that France has not done for a long time, and it will even arouse public opinion in the world. If there is a stalemate there, the annual military expenditure alone will cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of francs. Will the taxpayers protest against this money? ?

If there are casualties, this behavior has fully demonstrated the combat effectiveness of Mogadishu, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight. Lieutenant General Harley is a pragmatic guy. What he hates most is that Jim, who is just talking about it with his mouth, will cost thousands. Thousands of soldiers went to battle for politicians.

In their minds, they are pretending to be X, which is unbearable to look at!

They know shit.

Lieutenant General Halley is also one of the few generals who does not want a large-scale war, because for France, Somalia is really useless, does it need to go to sea? Djibouti is the case. Although the French territories are now independent, the influence of the Gallic Rooster is still there. Does it need a small base in East Africa?

Jacques, who sat in the Elysee Palace and gave orders, was a rich second generation. He didn't understand the pain of war at all. His father, who was the head of the French Commercial Bank, only taught him to do business, not to manage the country.

Admiral Andrew pondered for a while, and learned to kick the ball, "This matter requires Mr. President to sign an order. All we need to do as soldiers is to prepare for war. However, it is a fact that Somalia attacked our soldiers. We must seriously condemn them and demand their surrender. Murderer, the public opinion outside is so big, we must let everyone understand that we are fighting for the honor of France, who are the damned Somalis!"

Lieutenant General Harley's eyes were gloomy. The old company commander who once led the charge has now learned the "handwriting" of a politician, and still draws a picture full of lies, but... what can I do?

"There is a press conference in the afternoon, Minister Jim, you go."

Jim heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't announce his dismissal on the spot, he would have a lot of maneuverability. He nodded and agreed, and looked at Harley with a little satisfaction. The other party ignored him directly. After the meeting was over, With a dark face, he left.

Under conscious guidance, French newspapers and TV reported the news of Major Van Quinton's heroic sacrifice. Anyway, the title was written with a pen, and the content was all edited. He wrote this battle vividly, as if he had experienced it himself.

There is also the interview screen of Van Quinton's wife, crying bitterly, holding the child, tremblingly accepting the pension, and then Jim said at the press conference with eloquence that the army will not forget the relatives of the soldiers , will visit regularly.

Anyway, no need for politicians to go.

Then there were some remarks on the Internet, nothing more than that Van Quinton and others went to peacekeeping, but they were attacked by Somali government forces. This was a strong premeditation and called for protests against Somalia on the Internet.

These are all brought by the navy.

After the emergence of the Internet, many countries or individuals have discovered this "place outside the law", and feel that more and more people are saying something "in their hearts" on it, and they understand that desperadoes are surfing on it, consciously Start to make guidance, point the finger at some opponents, and cause them immeasurable losses.

Among them is the famous British 77th Brigade...

Of course, the current Frenchmen don’t have this awareness. They just pay money, hang up vests to confuse the public, and have no sense of reality at all. Regarding this, Tang Dao expressed his LOW!

He returned to Somalia overnight, received a report from the army, and saw the debate on Yahoo, so he planned to release the "water army" he had cultivated for a long time.

There are not many people, about 700 people, belonging to an Omani company called "Free Voice", these people work in various places, scattered in New York, Paris, and Boston, and their monthly salary is about 600 US dollars.

Very suitable for mothers and student parties.

As long as someone's comment is popular, go to the other party's comment and scold!

You know a lot of shit.

You know a jerk.

deserve it! You deserve it! If it wasn't for the invasion of Somalia, would it have died? That is someone else's territory, you say I have no evidence? My lover is over there.

This kind of trash talk is a lot, but it is also very exciting.

There is also a special navy handbook with a lot written on it, including, pretending to be poor, pretending to be rich, pretending to be an insider, etc., and occasionally throwing out a few photos or some agreements to give people Although I don't understand it, but it feels awesome, so it's fine.

The Internet is full of anxiety, and the Somali battlefield has also become very sharp because of the defeat of GCP. The Marcel tribe requested to take back the corpse, but was rejected by the headquarters. Henry Rono even publicly shouted, "Anyone who attempts to split Somalia is Sinners! Bring the Marcel tribe to court."

The angry Marcels summoned troops and rushed straight over. The French advisory group couldn't hold back. They could only watch as they were shot by general-purpose machine guns and blown up by cannons. Nearly 1,000 people were killed in a daze.

Make one's own morale completely devastated.

Of course, it's not all bad news, the good news is.

The aircraft carrier USS Clemenceau has come across the Indian Ocean!

Now in Prince Edward Islands.
