If you cheat, money will follow

Meeting place.

The intelligence agency reported the emergency that occurred last night.

After listening to the situation report, Austin asked:

"Gentlemen, as expected, they bid farewell to the short-lived peace and entered the conflict phase. What position should we take now?"

"Mr. Minister, we must intervene to actively respond to any challenges and adopt a responsible and sustainable approach to ensure stability and prosperity in the region." The head of the Navy Department emphasized:

"We should realize that the so-called autonomous army is just a pawn placed in front of us. There must be a powerful force behind them."

"To wipe out all three organized brigades overnight is definitely not something a local civilian force can possess."

"Once they master the Paramita area, then..."

At this time, the person in charge of the Army Department expressed his opinion:

"Mr. Minister, I completely agree with Commander Barndo that our naval brothers should be sent to stop this conflict that should never have happened."

"At least, it shouldn't happen now. Shouldn't it?"

"We believe that as long as the powerful naval brothers sail their aircraft carriers or destroyers into the virgin forests of the north, those backward primitive people will definitely raise their hands and surrender."

"They have never seen such a big steel monster."

This sentence was very ironic and made Barndo very dissatisfied.

"Mr. Daniel, your words are harsh and unpleasant to hear." Barndo said:

"You think we can't do anything without you?"

"Of course, I understand you very well."

"Although decades have passed, when you hear the word forest, whether it is Siam or not, you will tremble unconsciously."

"Mr. Barndo, why don't you drive your big guy to the other side's coastline first?" Daniel retorted:

"Have you forgotten the confrontation more than a few years ago?"

"Who is it? He was locked before the fight even started and ran back to the base in despair. Is this called running away?"

"Shit!" Barndo was furious when he heard this.

Within the Navy, this confrontation is an unspeakable taboo.

"Mr. Daniel, I know you are not satisfied with the budget, but in fact, your role is not important, and some troops are somewhat redundant."

"Is that so? Even if there are a sufficient number of ships, you still can't play their role." Daniel sneered: When you see that you are locked by the fire control radar, you will run away in despair and lack the basic fighting spirit."

"But it's better than you staying in Afghanistan for ten years and doing nothing. How much money have you wasted?"

Austin stroked his forehead, feeling his head hurt.

This is what happens often in recent times.

No matter what the issue, the land and sea sides will have language conflicts and disputes with each other, without exception.

The conflict between the two parties, or rather the deep grudges, is deep.

The source is the budget.

Hundreds of billions of dollars in annual funding cannot satisfy the three gold-eating beasts.

The two sides, and sometimes the three parties, will quarrel and become red-faced over the military budget issue.

They will even hesitate to lose face and openly speak out in front of the media to discredit the other party and expose conflicts.

Also because of the contradiction between the two sides, amphibious forces such as the Marine Corps suffered unreasonable disasters.

Disliked by both parties, he was demoted to a "fourth-class person".

The most recent heated argument was last week.

The Army proposed that part of the National Guard be incorporated into the Army's establishment, which would increase the number of 18 full divisions.

The Navy strongly opposed the Army proposal.

They believe that the expansion of the Army will waste more funds and lead to a squeeze on the Navy's military spending.

The Navy bluntly believes that the Army's 13 infantry brigades and 11 armored units have no other meaning except a waste of military expenditures.

Active duty troops should be moved into the National Guard, which would reduce funding.

"If the Army's two infantry brigades and two armored division brigades are dispatched to the National Guard, and three Stryker brigades are abolished, military expenditures of at least 3 billion U.S. dollars can be saved every year."

The implication is that these US$180 billion can be converted into naval military expenditures.

The army heard about it and counterattacked strongly.

They always regard the recent confrontation with the other side and the escape as a typical counterexample.

"We don't think the Navy needs that many ships."

"No matter how many and advanced the ships are, they will still just run away."

"But we are different. When you compete with a comparable opponent, large-scale ground operations are bound to break out."

"This kind of ground battle is very difficult. Whoever can persist to the end will win."

The first day of the meeting ended in an atmosphere of mutual hostility.

No one will give in and no one will back down.

Highlights of the meeting:

“To intervene or not to intervene?”

"How to intervene?" was completely ignored.

The first day, the jackfruit area.

Hongyan Industry and the Autonomous Army jointly captured six important towns including Xigao, Manxi, Bhamo, Ruigu, Ruibao, and Nansai.

As well as dozens of townships, they basically blocked the southbound passage of Parami, trapping Parami in the area.

The overall description of the whole process is overwhelming and overwhelming.

The specific process is:

Drone scanning and harassment;

Spider robots penetrate the formation, create chaos, and attack the will;

Hongyan Industry defeated the determined resisters one by one;

The autonomous army... cleans up the mess.

Although, Parami's army has always been famous in Bagan for its tenacious style and determination.

Among the many civilian martial arts, it is the unrivaled number one force.

However, when faced with drones that actively seek targets, attack, and dodge autonomously...

Faced with a sci-fi spider robot that can run, jump, shoot, fire, and ignore attacks...

Their hearts collapsed rapidly and their will suddenly disappeared.

Subconsciously, he made the most correct choice - abandon the gun and surrender.

Abandoning the gun and surrendering will be contagious, just like the wind blowing the leaves or the water shaking the sand, it will quickly collapse all resistance.

After all, human beings are living creatures. In the face of force majeure, there is not much difference between a paramita with a strong will and a military with a loose will.

the next day.

Eagle Sauce continues yesterday’s inconclusive issue.

In yesterday’s discussion…

The exchange of words between the navy and the army disrupted the order and atmosphere, and made everyone present lose interest.

That night, Austin reprimanded the leaders of the Navy and Army one-on-one.

Both sides said they would shelve disputes and focus on the overall situation.
