The civil armed forces' offensive lasted for a full eight hours. It wasn't until the sky began to turn white that the control of the airport completely fell into the hands of the civil armed forces. Seeing that the decline was irreversible, the Ukrainian army and Arrow were forced to withdraw from Dnipropetrovsk and gave up the strategic city across the third largest river in Europe.
The news of the great victory at the Dnieper River had grown wings and flew to every corner of the world, so many people had not yet recovered from this sudden "accident".
For the result of this battle, some people were happy and some were worried.
Russia sent a congratulatory message to the civil armed forces and once again urged the Ukrainian government to make a choice that conformed to the historical trend. The UA sent a warning to Russia, the civil armed forces, and Celestial Trade, calling on mercenary organizations not to add fuel to the fire in Ukraine …
After Jiang Chen received the battle report on Coro Island, he had a good night's sleep.
Although victory was expected, what could be more joyous than hearing the news of victory with one's own ears?
Of course, although the war was won easily, the consumption wasn't small.
In just eight hours, Celestial Trade fired more than 2,000 terminally guided tungsten rods at the Ukrainian army. The cost of space-based weapons alone was as high as 100 million Xin New Dollars. Of course, most of this cost would be borne by Russia, so Jiang Chen didn't feel bad about burning money.
Just as Jiang Chen expected, the victory on the battlefield directly affected the revolution thousands of kilometers away. The civil armed forces crossed the Dnieper River and completely burned the war to the originally peaceful western Ukraine. Kiev, which was located on the upper reaches of the Dnieper River, was no longer safe.
Ukraine was already at a historical juncture. Whether it went east or west had become a question that the entire world had to pay attention to. It was related to whether NATO's frontline was in Ukraine or in Poland.
"A bunch of trash!"
The battle report was slammed on the table.
The office was quiet. Except for Carmen's heavy breathing, there was no other sound. Including Johnson and the executives of Arrow, everyone standing in front of his desk lowered their heads and kept quiet.
Carmen's chest was violently moving up and down, and his bloodshot eyes were no longer hazy. Instead, there was only madness.
"I've already sent you all the best equipment. A division can't even stop two brigades. Is your fortification made of paper?!"
Sardes lowered his head. As the CEO of Arrow, he wanted to make things convenient for the soldiers on the front line. In front of Celestial Trade's "space-based weapons", their concrete fortifications and tanks were like paper.
Moreover, the real reason for their failure was not because of those terrifying space-based weapons, but because from the beginning to the end, the air superiority was not in their hands. The F35 couldn't even win against the Aurora-20s, let alone the old MiG-29s of the Ukrainian government army and the second-hand F-18s supported by Western countries.
However, Sardes didn't say anything in the end. He knew very well that his boss was angry, and it was definitely more effective to lower his head and take a scolding than to raise his head and argue.
After a long silence, Carmen took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and slowly opened his mouth.
"What's the situation in Germany?"
"It's not good …" Johnson hesitated, gritted his teeth, and finally said, "The Frankberg 10th Armored Division is fighting with the rebels in Bava. Although they have achieved some results, the number of rebels has increased instead of decreasing. Yesterday at noon, when the 23rd Mountain Infantry Brigade entered the city, they were blocked by a human wall, and the 12th Armored Brigade was thrown Molotov cocktails several times. If this continues, I'm afraid we'll lose Bava … "
"We must not lose Bava," Carmen seemed to have regained his sanity and said calmly. Carmen seemed to have regained his senses and said calmly, "Send an additional division of mercenaries to Bavaria."
"We can't send that many people," Sardes buried his head and said calmly. Sardes buried his head and forced himself to say, "Our combat power has been pinned down on the battlefield in Ukraine. If we transfer troops from Ukraine, the Ukrainian government cannot stop the civil armed forces and Celestial Trade. In this way, we may lose the entire Ukraine …"
Frankberg can't lose Bava, and Europe can't lose Kane. For Carmen, it was a dilemma.
After a moment of contemplation, Carmen made a decision.
"It seems that the Frankberg military service system needs to be adjusted. Since you don't want to be a soldier, then let's change the recruitment system to a conscription system and expand the size from three divisions to ten divisions. "
Johnson and Sardes looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. Everyone in this office knew that changing the law at this time was definitely a bad idea, but no one dared to say anything at this moment.
If it was two years ago … no, even a year ago, Carmen would never make such a reckless decision. However, he didn't know when it started, but his ambition surpassed what he had, or the strength of the Freemasonry.
"It's impossible for the Federal Senate to pass this proposal to change the law. The Minister of Defense proposed this earlier, but it was rejected by the Speaker. We have a lot of influence in the Senate, but some people have begun to question our — "The middle-aged man standing next to Sardes tried to convince Carmen from a feasibility perspective, but he was interrupted by Carmen.
"I'll convince those who are sitting on the fence," Carmen said emotionlessly. Carmen said faintly, then gave Johnson a look. "Let them understand who is the master of this country."
Johnson secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded coldly, and left the room he didn't want to stay in for another second.
The middle-aged man no longer said anything, but he took a deep breath, looked around subtly, and said. "Peter is still on a diplomatic visit to Sweden … I'll call him back."
"Mhmm, go."
With permission, the middle-aged man also left the room with relief.
There were only three people left in the room. In addition to Sardes, the CEO of Arrow, the other two were the managers of Arrow's branches in Ukraine and Frankberg. From the beginning of the meeting to now, the two didn't say a word.
"Nate."
"Yes." The brawny man with obvious Jewish blood took half a step forward and responded in a deep voice.
"My only requirement for you is to defend Kiev." After a pause, Carmen smiled and lowered his voice. "Remember, this is your last chance."
Nate's muscles trembled involuntarily, and fear flashed in front of his eyes. He knew very well what this so-called last chance meant to him. Cold sweat gradually oozed from his forehead. Carmen stared at him, and he squeezed out a word from his throat.
"Yes …"
"Very good, you can go." Carmen nodded, indicating that he could go, and then looked at another manager. "Mr. Derek, you take a step forward."
Derek didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately took a step forward and said quickly.
"I promise to complete the mission!"
"Really? You don't even ask what the mission is? Very good. "Carmen nodded with satisfaction." At least your attitude is very satisfying. "
Just when Derrick was relieved, his boss suddenly took out a pistol from his pocket and shot him in the head. "Bang!"
The fire flickered, and blood stained the cashmere carpet.
Derek couldn't even dodge. His eyes widened, and he maintained his stunned expression as he fell to the ground.
He didn't understand why he would die.
Carmen quickly answered the confusion in his mind, but he couldn't hear it anymore.
"It's understandable that you can't win against Celestial Trade. After all, the equipment gap is there. If you can't even deal with a group of rioters, what's the point of keeping you alive? " Carmen said slowly, raised his chin slightly, and gently placed the silver-plated revolver on the table.
Sardes felt that his legs were becoming weak. He didn't dare to look at his boss, and he didn't dare to look at his colleague lying beside him.
"Sardes."
"Yes, yes!" Because of his trembling, Sardes's voice even went out of tune.
Carmen smiled and said softly.
"Carry him out, and congratulate the deputy manager of the Frankberg branch for me. He's been promoted."
"Yes …" Sardes swallowed, bent his stiff back and knees, and carried Derek on his shoulder.
"By the way, remind him of something for me as well." Carmen looked at Sardes who was walking to the door and stopped him. He said emotionlessly, "One month, I'll only give him one month. One month later, I want to see his results. Otherwise, the one on your shoulder will be his example. "
