The strongest soldier

Late at night, at the strategic position in the west of the town, Jackson returned to his tent after inspecting the camp. As soon as he entered, he heard someone behind him shouting a report. He turned around in confusion and saw that it was the confidant general in charge of intelligence and investigation work. His face was solemn, coming here meant something was going on, so he couldn't help but asked in a low voice in surprise: "What's wrong?"

The visitor saluted and said in a deep voice: "I received news that all the rebel camps were on fire. The fires were caused by man-made fires. The cause is unknown. In addition, there was no movement of friendly troops in the direction of the town. I sent people to check, but they can no longer be seen. Now that I’m alone, all the supplies have been moved away.”

"What? When did you leave?" Jackson was shocked and asked, his face turning ugly.

"Judging from the intensity of the fire, the fire should have been set an hour ago. The camp has been almost burned. It is not clear when the friendly forces will retreat. It is estimated to be an hour ago." The visitor quickly replied.

"An hour ago? It seems that you really gave up on me, haha." Jackson whispered to himself, with a bitter look on his face. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked at the person who came and asked: "Brother, tell me Look, are we doing this wrong?”

It is not easy for someone to be asked directly by Jackson like this. The person who came was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Do we have a choice?"

"Yes, we have no choice. As soldiers, we can only obey what is decided in the country. As for right or wrong, that is what the people above consider. However, I have a bad feeling about this separation. I am afraid that there will be more domestic incidents in the future. If we restart cooperation, it may not be easy to negotiate by then. Even if we agree, our interests will not be protected, what do you think?" Jackson said with a heavy face.

"To put it inappropriately, we were one and the same before. We both belonged to the General Administration of Counter-Terrorism and were considered our own people. But we chose to leave. This is to some extent a betrayal of the General Administration of Counter-Terrorism. If we still want to cooperate in the future, I guess It’s very difficult, no one will cooperate with someone who betrays us, and it will be even more difficult if we want to join the General Administration of Counter-Terrorism. I guess the other party has already informed the United Nations about this matter." The visitor analyzed in a deep voice.

"Is there no room for maneuver?" Jackson asked unwillingly.

"Will he leave us room?" the visitor asked.

Jackson was startled, then smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "I hope we don't make the wrong choice this time. If this operation fails, the consequences will be disastrous. Even if it succeeds, we will lose our biggest support. Most reliable of allies, this would be a disaster for our cause against the Dark Church."

"Are they really that important?" the visitor asked in a low voice, surprised.

"You are a new member of the team. You don't know many things in the past. It can be said that the most important reason why we have been able to win against the Dark Church many times is not because we can fight, but because of them. Without them, we would not be able to win." Jackson said with satisfaction. He whispered with a smile on his face, he had been fighting the Dark Church for more than a day or two, and no one knew the horror of the Dark Church better than Jackson.

"But the results announced to the public are not like this?" the visitor said with a face full of shock.

"Yes," Jackson smiled bitterly, his mood waning. Seeing the other party looking at him doubtfully, he thought for a while and said, "I will tell you the truth today. I will not admit it after leaving here. Domestic and external announcements The result is not the truth, but to gain resources, support from both houses of Congress, and political rhetoric. The truth is exactly the opposite. Every victory is led by the other side, and we are just supporting actors."

"There is no need to make others' ambitions destroy your own prestige." The visitor said with some disbelief.

Jackson looked at the other party deeply and said nothing. After thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "Whether I lied or not, you will know later. Since they have withdrawn their troops, our headquarters will move to the town." , the defense method is the same as before, trenches continue to be dug, comprehensive defense to prevent someone from infiltrating and attacking. The enemy is more powerful than you imagine, so don't be careless."

"But, we don't have enough manpower." The other party said in a deep voice.

"Manpower is not a problem. The local government army will have 3,000 troops arriving at dawn, and our 1,000 elite troops will also arrive at dawn. Adding the 400 of us here, there will be 4,400 people. In addition, twenty helicopters will come to support, which is enough to fight against the rebels." Jackson said solemnly.

"So many, great, okay, I'll make arrangements." The other party replied in surprise. Seeing that Luo Zheng had nothing else to explain, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Jackson looked at the other party's leaving figure, his face became more and more serious, and he murmured to himself: "Is it much? I hope you can keep it, Mr. President, whether your decision is right or wrong, it will be good for our future." They are all fatal blows, why should we make such a decision? It’s just oil, there are other methods, why should we use this most extreme method? Why?”

At this moment, there was a crack in Jackson's loyalty to his president. Jackson had always respected his president very much and used his own life to repay this kindness. This time was no exception, but Jackson knew the darkness very well. The church is so powerful, is it worth betraying its most powerful ally for an oil field?

However, no one told Jackson the answer, and no one knew the answer. Jackson sat silently in the tent, looking at the empty space without focus, and his mood became inexplicably heavy. The surroundings were quiet, and the endless night enveloped the camp. Shrouded, time passed by minute by minute, and after a while, a burst of hurried footsteps came.

"Report." Someone shouted outside, a female voice.

"Come in." Jackson shouted weakly.

Soon, a person strode in. It was Tang Tiantian who was dressed in military uniform. Tang Tiantian looked at Jackson in surprise. She didn’t understand why the energetic Jackson looked so depressed, but he didn’t ask any more questions. After saluting, he hurriedly said: “Just outside. The secret sentry came to report and found that the enemy was moving and seemed to be preparing to attack."

"Oh? Go ahead and prepare for battle. Do these bastards think I'm easy to bully?" Jackson stood up angrily and shouted loudly. Luo Zheng and others evacuated, and the rebels launched an attack. Isn't this bullying? An unknown fire surged in Jackson's heart, and his eyes became cold.

"Yes." Tang Tiantian couldn't understand why Jackson was completely different in the blink of an eye, but she still agreed, turned around and left in a hurry, and sent the order.

Soon, an invisible chilling aura erupted on the battlefield, filling the night sky and lingering for a long time.
