Chapter 424 (1/2)

”The day before yesterday, Philippine rebels launched a surprise attack on the western town of Pagadian on Mindanao island at 9:00 p.m. The arson destroyed four municipal police stations, two bus stops, two government office buildings and two power stations in the city, resulting in a large-scale power outage in the city

”There was a fierce exchange of fire in the northern part of the city, killing 101 local troops and injuring 210. Five hours after the incident, the Moro National Liberation Front announced responsibility for the attack and said it would carry out the Mindanao liberation movement to the end. ”

”It is reported that more than 1000 armed elements participated in the attack. During the battle, the anti-government forces used a large number of M4A1 assault rifles, night vision devices and other US made weapons, and equipped with a large number of RPG-7 and other anti armored weapons, as well as mortars and other heavy infantry weapons, or the largest attack in 30 years. Its equipment is superior to that of the local garrison, and the source of the equipment of the organization has become a mystery. ”

”12 hours after the incident, Aquino government issued a strong condemnation of the attack, and strongly condemned the organization that provided weapons and equipment to the anti-government forces, and said that it would consider sending armored troops to Mindanao to eliminate the local guerrillas, and at all costs to track down the behind the scenes.”

”Some analysts commented that the attack may mark the bankruptcy of the peace agreement reached between the Philippine government and MLM in 2012. The Aquino government has increased troops to Mindanao or raised opposition from the MOI, which has reached a peace agreement. However, if there is no increase in troops, the regional situation is likely to deteriorate further. At the moment, Aquino's government is in a situation where it is difficult to get rid of the tiger. ”

”There are also military analysts who say that the Philippine armored forces are not easy to deploy in the rugged terrain of Mindanao. Even if armored troops were sent. In the face of guerrillas equipped with anti tank weapons, they may not be able to achieve results. The Aquino authorities should first address the issue of the source of anti-government weapons. Only by strengthening border control can we curb the further deterioration of the situation from external factors. ”

”A spokesman for the US foreign ministry said. The U.S. side closely followed the attack and expressed its willingness to assist the Philippines in investigating the source of anti government forces' equipment. When asked whether the US side will send ground forces to assist Philippine forces in the fight against the MLC, the US side said it would not consider sending ground forces to intervene in regional internal affairs, but it would not rule out the use of UAVs to support Philippine military operations. ”

”Since 7:00 today, China's tourism administration has issued an urgent red alert for tourists to the Philippines, suggesting that passengers with travel plans should change their travel plans. Or try to avoid being close to the hot spots of guerrilla activities. ”

”Our reporter, Yang Yong reports.”

TV shows the government troops shooting from their backs in bunkers. Although there is no shadow of the attackers, we can see the severity of the fighting from the flying tracer bullets, the dust and the vague screams.

From time to time, firelight and smoke came from afar, and mortars were used in urban areas. It's almost impossible not to hurt people's houses by mistake. Government forces have to take into account the consequences of accidental injury to civilians, but the rebels have little to fear in fighting.

Several stretchers crossed the street and ran to the makeshift clinic next to the armored vehicle. The shop window is broken to the ground, people who loot rush into the shop, grab the things on the ground and run away...

many people will die.

But Jiang Chen will not repent.

It is not because of his cold blood, but because the Philippines is responsible for it. From their choice of a rogue government to their rascal government's instigation of the people's hooliganism. Then the attack on Coro island.

All this is just the price!

Leaning on the sofa, Jiang Chen reaches out and presses down the remote control.

It seems that Santos has made the right choice, which will save Jiang Chen a lot of trouble. It is the first time that the MLC guerrillas have been fighting with Philippine government forces for 44 years, and it is the first time that such a large-scale military material aid has been received. This time, it can be regarded as an exaltation.

Of course, Jiang Chen didn't like the organization and the Philippines. He just needs to use this chess piece to divide this annoying neighbor, and after the country of Moro is completely independent. Then he took the rich resources of iron, copper and gold in Mindanao island into his pocket...

he took out the mobile phone he bought at random from the stall. Jiang Chen edited a short message and sent the password to Santos.

Now that he has fulfilled his promise, he will not be stingy about his reward. It is believed that with this second batch of equipment, the combat effectiveness of the MLC will reach a higher level.

Just as Jiang Chen expected, just throw the lighter into the monkey's hand, and they will excitedly light the zoo into a sea of fire.

Just then, Jiang Chen's satellite phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Without thinking about it, he knew it must be Roberts. This satellite phone is the special line between him and Roberts, which is absolutely safe in theory.

After the phone was connected, the voice of the old friend came.

”An old friend of the FBI invited me to tea today.”

”What did he talk to you about?” Jiang Chen asked casually.

”Chatting casually, such as asking me what I did in South Africa the other day and who I met.” Roberts said with a wry smile.”Oh? What did you say to him Jiang Chen laughs.

”What else to say, go to South Africa to deal with the gold shell company business... Man, you're playing a bit big this time.” After that, Roberts took a deep breath and lowered his voice, ”Bu phobia has always been the bottom line of the White House, especially in the territory of their allies. Although the White House has not let go of the ground forces to support the Philippines, CIA agents have gone in. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen scorned and sneered.
