Chapter 2448 Mapping

General Liu had no interest in trying to figure out their thoughts, so he said directly, "If no one objects, I will arrange the combat mission."

After hearing what he said, someone finally couldn't help but say, "Respected General Liu, what you just said should be based on the premise that we hold a military exercise, right? What you are going to do now is not an exercise, but a war."

General Liu asked in return: "Excuse me, what is the difference between an exercise and an actual combat? Our country has repeatedly emphasized to governments of various countries and you all that this exercise is conducted with live ammunition and actual combat standards. Once entering the exercise, everyone must adjust their mentality - this is a life-and-death struggle, a real battle!"

"But that's a theory, not a reality."

Another commander also said: "General Liu, we don't know the geographical environment inside the Golden Triangle. There are a large population, a complicated situation, and there are poisonous gas, swamps, rainforests and other uninhabited areas."

"If we go there rashly, it will definitely cause heavy losses, which is something that no one wants to see."

General Liu said, "Your Excellency, do you mean that you have never thought of taking the initiative to kill these drug dealers and illegal armed forces? Or, in other words, it is difficult for you to even pose a threat to them?"

The man shook his head and said, "Our governments in Southeast Asia have sent troops to suppress these illegal armed forces many times and eliminated many criminals. Our action records are all well documented. It's just that we don't have enough reason to suddenly attack them now."

"A sudden attack? A sufficient reason?"

General Liu slammed the table heavily and said in a deep voice: "These illegal armed forces have caused great harm to your country and people. If you need a reason to attack them, I would like to ask you, are you worthy of the military uniforms on your body? Are you worthy of the guns in your hands? Are you worthy of the oath you once swore as a soldier?"

"The Golden Triangle has always been the most chaotic place in Southeast Asia. Internationally wanted drug dealers, arms dealers, fraudsters, smugglers, and other heinous criminals, as long as they flee here, few people will pursue them. Have you ever thought about who condoned their audacity, who allowed them to be so arrogant, and who gave the Golden Triangle such privileges?"

There was silence in the command room, and no one answered General Liu's question because they couldn't answer it at all.

General Liu looked around and said, "It seems that everyone still has conscience and integrity in their hearts. I want to tell you that although this armed clearance cannot completely cleanse the crimes in the area, we must show our attitude and let those criminals know that they cannot do whatever they want and dominate even if they have guns and cannons. There is still justice and fairness in this world, and there are still people who can deter them."

After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Some were full of emotion, some were eager to try, and some lowered their heads with flickering eyes, not knowing what they were thinking about.

It is obvious that everyone has their own little calculations in mind.

General Liu raised his hand, checked the time and said, "I don't want to give a long lecture. We are soldiers and we should speak with facts. I know you are worried about the casualties of your subordinates, worried that you will not be able to explain to your country, and even worried that we will face failure."

"In this case, the Republic's army is willing to set an example for everyone."

As soon as these words were spoken, commanders from all countries looked up, wondering what this example meant.

General Liu said: "The Golden Triangle is huge and has complex terrain. Logically, all participating armies should act together to cover all aspects. However, given that your understanding of war is not clear enough and your army's combat quality is also very insufficient, in order to avoid a large number of casualties among you, our army is willing to take the lead in advancing into the Golden Triangle and clearing out the area."

"As for the results of the battle, they will belong to all officers and soldiers of the general command of the exercise. If there is a failure or large-scale casualties, the responsibility will be borne by our army. Are you all satisfied?"

Wow.

There was an uproar in the command room.

This means that the Republic is willing to take the lead, carry out military missions, and eliminate key targets. As for the armies of other countries, they only need to follow behind, wave flags and cheer, and they can share the spoils?

Who wouldn't be happy about such a good thing?

Of course, some people also have their own calculations in mind - the Golden Triangle does not border the Republic, and the Republic’s troops are not familiar enough with the environment of the Golden Triangle.

This General Liu talks so confidently about combat qualities and thinks that the Southeast Asian armies are no match for him. Then go and try it yourself. If you suffer a loss, we will laugh at you.

With various thoughts in mind, the commanders of Southeast Asian countries nodded and agreed to General Liu's proposal.

General Liu said in a deep voice: "The Southeast Asian joint military exercise has now officially begun. In the first phase, our strategic goal is to eliminate the two most rampant gangs in the Golden Triangle, namely the forces of Li Chenzhong and Tony Gu, and capture the two gang leaders."

As he finished speaking, General Liu struck the two photos that appeared on the screen behind him with the baton in his hand.

……

On the other side, Li Chenzhong and Tony Gu were also studying how to launch a full-scale attack on the Futu Dragon Elephant.

Tony Gu said, holding a cigarette in his mouth: “I don’t know why, I feel a little panicked today.”

Li Chenzhong took a deep breath and said, "Maybe we are about to launch a large-scale offensive."

Tony Gu exhaled smoke and said, “What’s so nervous about fighting? I should have participated in thousands of battles since I was a child. I’m just worried that Fu Tu Long Xiang will come up with some conspiracy or trickery.”

Li Chenzhong said coldly: "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick is useless."

They were chatting when a rumbling sound suddenly came from above their heads.

Two armed helicopters suddenly flew over the Purple Temple.

The adjutant beside Li Chenzhong reported: "General, our helicopter is already on standby in the air and can observe the situation in the Purple Temple at a close range at any time."

Li Chenzhong said: "Let's take action. We must map out their key defense areas and firepower points. I want to pull out all these nails one by one."

The adjutant received the order and immediately conveyed it to the pilot of the armed helicopter.

The two helicopters immediately flew forward, their target being the sky above the Dragon Girl Temple.

A few minutes later, the adjutant came over and reported, "General, we did not find any firing points around the Saint's Palace. Even the gate of the Saint's Palace is open."

"What?" Li Chenzhong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

The adjutant said: "The pilot reported that there were no firing points in the Purple Temple. They even found that Fu Tu was standing in the corridor of the Dragon Girl's bedroom, smoking leisurely and greeting the helicopter... Because we did not open fire on him without your order."
