"This is a war, and it has nothing to do with face. You can't risk thousands of soldiers just to take a gamble with the Western Sahara Liberation Alliance. This is irresponsible behavior." Lin Rui said sternly.
"Mr. Rick, I must remind you. War is not just a military act, but also a political act. The Alliance for the Liberation of Western Sahara has posed a threat to us, and this threat is more political.
They have made us synonymous with weakness and incompetence, making all Western Saharans think that we are no longer good. We have no guts or courage to fight the Moroccans. They are the ones who can truly save the future of Western Sahara.
This situation cannot continue any longer. If it continues like this, our remaining prestige will be gone. If all the Moroccans saw that we were already at the gates of Smara, they would not have the guts to attack. This will make the slander of the Alliance for the Liberation of Western Sahara against us even more solid. ¡± replied Ernest.
"Isn't this still the same? Just because others say you can't do it, you have to prove to others that you can do it. Even regardless of the actual situation, you insist on making a fool of yourself. Not only is this irresponsible, it's even military. Childish." Lin Rui shook his head.
"Perhaps this is indeed military naivety, but it is politically well-thought-out. Compared with the Western Sahara Liberation Alliance's rapid progress, we must do something to win back the hearts of the people of Western Sahara. From this point of view, win Smara is crucial.
What matters is not winning or losing, but attitude. At a time when many people in Western Sahara think we are too weak, we must show them our strength and prove our courage. We need people's confidence.
Mr. Rick, my colleagues and I have been fighting for the independence of the Western Sahara nation for most of our lives. We have lost most of our land and are forced to live in refugee camps in Algeria.
¡°The people of Western Sahara have nothing left but confidence and determination. If those two things were gone, I don't know what we would have left. So we must fight this battle. "Ernister said seriously.
"What the hell!" Lin Rui hung up the phone and kicked the table in annoyance. "Fucking hell!"
The suggestion to attack the ceasefire zone was made by him, but his original goal was to reoccupy the ceasefire zone and even approach the Moroccan-occupied zone. But this did not include the capture of large cities like Smara.
His original idea was to stabilize his position after occupying the ceasefire zone. Observe the situation first, and then make next operational deployments based on changes in the situation.
What I didn¡¯t expect was. At this time, the Popular Front of Western Sahara made an inappropriate choice. He didn't know whether this decision was right or wrong, but he always felt that the risk involved was extremely high.
This is very likely the beginning of another conspiracy. However, the Popular Front of Western Sahara has one foot in the trap with a determined attitude. Although these mercenaries are the military advisory group of the Western Sahara Popular Front.
But the other party is the employer. The Popular Front for Western Sahara has the right to decide whether to follow the advice of its military advisory group. In the current situation, they obviously ignored all the recommendations of the military advisory group and decided to attack Smara.
Lin Rui took a deep breath, turned to the actuary and said, "Change the original plan. If they really want to attack Smara, we have to design a reliable offensive strategy for them."
The actuary was silent for a while and nodded, "It cannot be said that they are completely wrong. Ernest is right, at least politically they need this battle very much."
Lin Rui looked at him and waved, "Go down and prepare." He turned to General Edgar Rondo and said, "We can obey the orders of the military committee, but I hope that this offensive operation will be carried out according to our deployment. Expand.
This is the most basic requirement. If you continue to insist on going your own way and decide to do it yourself, then we will have no choice but to suspend our cooperation. "
"I understand, Mr. Rick. In fact, from my perspective, I don't want to launch this too risky operation. Because I know what the consequences of this operation will be." General Edgar Rondo nodded. .
"You don't know anything." Lin Rui sighed.
"I know. If we capture Smara, it will definitely cause a huge shock to the Moroccan authorities. They will use the Moroccan Defense Forces, which have not been used, to launch a counterattack against Smara. By then, Smara will become the entire battlefield center of gravity.
"The Western Sahara Liberation Alliance's attack on Dakhla will greatly reduce the pressure. They are likely to capture Dakhla and further attack other cities in Western Sahara. This will be the ending we least want to see, but it is also the most irreversibleThe ending of return. General Edgar Landau whispered.
"General, have you seen it clearly? Then you should understand that this battle should not have been fought. If it was to be fought, it must be fought strategically." Lin Rui stood up and said.
"I have no right to decide whether to fight or not. Because as a frontline commander, I must obey the high command. But on how to fight, I will follow the advice of the military advisory group." General Edgar Landau nodded.
With this guarantee from him. Lin Rui felt somewhat relieved, but he understood better than anyone else that this would be a war with an uncertain future.
If they had some control over the war situation before, the decision just made by the Western Sahara Popular Front has completely negated their control over the entire war situation.
Can this battle be won? What will happen if you win? Everything has to be improvised. Lin Rui hated this feeling of being unsure but helpless.
It¡¯s like seeing a person step off the cliff with one foot. As a bystander, you can only watch from a distance and have no time to stop it. I can only watch the tragedy happen without any power to change. It's almost despairing.
In the command room, Actuary Jiang An and several other members of the advisory group are carefully discussing the plan to attack Smara. Lin Rui did not participate. He just walked to the corridor outside and smoked one cigarette after another.
"The situation is very bad, right?" Kuai Ma looked at him and asked.
"Really?" Lin Rui nodded, "What's worse is that we probably don't have much ability to change. We can only watch everything happen. This is the worst."
"I understand what you mean. I have had a similar experience." Kuai Ma was silent for a while, "But there will always be a way. The actuary wants you to go inside and participate in the pre-war meeting together. You are the boss, you have to Be present.¡±
Lin Rui nodded, "I understand, I'll go right away."
