69 Al-Ghafar (1/2)
“Several days ago, the Leray Federation Military Intelligence Department received an emissary from the largest anti-government resistance organization in the Gyaca Woods Empire, the ‘Freedom Battlefront’. I’m sure everyone has heard of them—they are a military organization in Gyaca Woods Empire formed by the lower class people for the sake of overthrowing the royalty. In the Gyaca Woods Empire, they have already started several rebellions and are truly active.”
An Lei paused for a while before continuing, “Actually, the Federation has always been helping this organization ever since a few years ago. This is a small action taken by the military to delay the expansion of the Gyaca Woods Imperial Army. However, because the members of this organization are solely composed of the citizens who are discriminated against by the Gyaca Woods Empire and have restrictions which prevent them from becoming an officer with the rank of major or higher placed on them, although we do not know who their leader is, the only thing we know is that he has a lot of influence in the upper echelons of the military. The existence of such a person is something that we could not have imagined, as there shouldn’t be a high-ranking officer, especially one whose voice is heard everywhere, that would lead its citizens to revolt against their own race’s rule.”
Another uproar happened. As long as one slightly thought ahead logically, he would understand that this leader had to be the number one military expert of the Gyaca Woods Empire—Russell! He was someone from the Weibo race, and his current standing in the Gyaca Woods Imperial Army was unmatched. What exactly is this person thinking about?
An Lei waited for everyone to quiet down before continuing, “Their emissary has sent over information regarding how someone from the Federation had actually seen through the Catosi Canyon tactic devised by Russell. Because of this, they had reasons to believe in our Federation Army, as there should be a certain commander who has enough military analysis skills that could coordinate with their actions. As a result, that mysterious Freedom Battlefront leader decided to give the Federation Army an opportunity in a bout of a huge battle. This opportunity is crafted by him, and whether or not we could grasp it will depend on the Federation Army.”
The 6th Research Unit’s director, Colonel Pater, could not help but ask, “So the battle at Garo Mountain is the so-called opportunity given by them?”
An Lei hesitated for a moment and looked at Tian Xing Jian before replying, “If it’s according to First Lieutenant Tian’s analysis, then I guess we shouldn’t have any reasons to doubt this intention since Russell had taken such a risk. Furthermore, the sign is very clear.”
Colonel Pater continued, “If we could not deduce their intention, then what would happen?”
An Lei replied, “There’s no other path. The emissary said that their leader is their only hope and could never be revealed, so there would definitely not be any evidence left behind in this plan of this. As such, this opportunity can only be grasped by us. If we do not have enough military analysis capabilities, then it will be impossible for us to become a partner who could cooperate with their leader. Under this situation, their leader will come at us from a purely military perspective and will not hesitate to destroy us, leaving no remorse.”
The 4th Research Unit Director Kadur could not control himself and asked, “How exactly does this benefit Russell?”
This question was related to the most crucial point. With a smile, An Lei nodded: “Gyaca Woods Empire is a militaristic nation. Regardless of which nation they clash with, fundamentally, there isn’t any opponent who could threaten them. The only big opponent they have is the Leray Federation, who has an even greater technology and economic power than them. Although the Federation lacks combat experience and its military might cannot compare to the Gyaca Woods Empire’s, this can be solved with time. According to our analysis, this is the only opportunity which Russell or that mysterious leader has. He requires a formidable opponent in order to deplete the Gyaca Wood Empire’s military might, and furthermore, there are many of such Freedom Battlefront soldiers within the army, thus they needed a reason to hide and leave the control of the army. Just now, the analysis by First Lieutenant Tian agrees with all these conditions, so I think that this battle will be the best opportunity given to the Freedom Battlefront.”
Everyone let out a breath of cold air. This Russell... if he was truly the leader of the Freedom Battlefront, it would be a question of how long the Empire’s royal family would be able to hold on for. Russell’s military capabilities need not be elaborated on, and furthermore, despite occupying a high position, he was still lurking in the dark. Such a person was truly too terrifying.
