Chapter 49
The red sun and the fiery sand are the fiery "Butterfly City".
"My god, the thief...!"
Who else would such a carefree and rude guy besides Li Erganzi? He raised his skin and his head was reddened, and the cold beer sent by the orderly soldiers was swallowed in a big mouthful with the help of his throat.
"Haha, you bastard, dare you come back?"
George Patton, in this case, was able to maintain his demeanor. Of course, this only refers to his demeanor in his clothes. At least he was not as shirtless as Li Du pole, and as for the number, he simply stuck to his backbone.
As for language, he has never cared much about it, and he has long been in the same place as the "Li Erganzi" snake and rat.
Li Jinyu, who was riding on a high-bred Arabian horse, waved the polo club in his hand, as if answering George Patton's challenge.
Patton was fully involved in the plan of the Djibouti offensive battle. Even when he was attacking, he could see clearly the whole process while standing on the bridge. While watching, he measured it in his heart. If such an army was fighting with the US army, without absolute advantage, the US army would still be no match for the Chinese federal army.
Therefore, after capturing Djibouti, his friendship with "Li Erganzi" became deeper, and the two almost ate, slept and played together. Polo was naturally another way of interaction. Especially these agile and excellent Arabian horses made this game that soldiers liked more lively.
"come on……"
The female soldiers who left the country also became wild one by one. Perhaps because the population of the Chinese Federation is getting more and more diverse, these female soldiers have different skin colors and colorful hair. The result of the cultural integration of various different ethnic groups has become like this.
The female soldiers were wearing military green vests, raising their heads handed into short hair. On both sides of the vests, they exposed their shoulders that were scalped by the African sun. They cheered at the men who were riding on horseback, showing their male tough style.
On the other side, thick smoke continued to emerge from the long barbecue racks. The cooks cursed the soldiers' appetites, and their subordinates were busy quickly spreading the cut pieces of meat, fish steaks and other things with meat. The grease of various colors made a sizzling sound on the charcoal fire. Of course, there were special forces in full black uniforms who were carrying dog meat from somewhere to make excitement here.
Although Rosenick and his soldiers did not leave such a party, they were as cold as usual, attracting the eyes of the urban female soldiers as if they were summer ice cream. However, their coldness stopped the girls' pace.
However, Guo Chaodong and his men were wearing sunglasses, sitting under cool umbrellas and beach chairs, showing the tattoo of the winged horse on their shoulders. When they smoked cigars, they all had the style of a gangster brother.
A large number of soldiers gathered around them, as if they were not on the battlefield now, but were sitting in an open-air cafe in the United States. Naturally, the soldiers of the Marine Corps, like their division commanders, often looking for the special forces to learn about their new kung fu. Although these soldiers with little skills lost more and less when they competed with the special forces, their unyielding spirit was really like their division commanders.
The soldiers of "Thunder International" smiled at these popular scenes except for training. They did not join the competition or boxing competition. For them, war is the time when they used force. They had seen too many deaths and experienced too many life competitions.
All military groups and military police simply formed a joint military police force. In this hot sunshine, they were the only soldiers dressed neatly. Despite this, they did not deliberately ask these soldiers who were not on duty to pay attention to their military appearance.
Speaking of which, the rapid response troops of the Federal Defense Forces each have their own characteristics. For example, when An Jinchi became the heavy equipment division commander, the entire division was like a group of tigers, as fast as wildfire and as fierce as lightning. Zhang Xiaohuai's light equipment division was completely a well-organized and agile force.
What is puzzling is that so many elite troops gather here, is it that Tang Yunyang wants to fight the defensive battle of "Butterfly City"? If it is defense, there are too many armored troops gathered here. If it is an attack, there are no transportation troops here, so what is he going to do?
On the red igneous rocks, where large groups of vehicles were parked, the miserable staff were working in sweat and rain. Although the air conditioner brought cool breeze, and the iced soda and drinks were constantly delivered to the place where they worked, the temperature did not fall.
This is not only due to the influence of temperature, but also due to the heat of the war that is about to ignite.
"Life is really wonderful. Think about two months ago, we were still in the North Pole, but now! Do you believe it? The heat here makes me miss that cold place!"
Although Anne Taylor has recovered her status as a Russian royal family, she still works with Tang Yunyang under the pseudonym Anne Taylor. Although she could not use her beautiful translator at this time, she was still staying by Tang Yunyang's side, probably this is her wife's rights and obligations.
Tang Yunyang, who was watching carefully, ignored Anne Taylor's chat with the documents in his hand. Anne Taylor didn't care. As a young wife, she understood that her husband was unwilling to disturb him when he was working.
Anne Taylor's eyes stretched far from the platform at the bottom of the volcano where they were sitting, towards the sea, where there was a blue sea and a tall warship.
There, the three aircraft carrier attack clusters seemed to be planning to leave the sea area where the war was about to begin. This arrangement really made people confused. What Tang Yunyang wanted to do. When the war was about to begin, his aircraft carrier formation actually set sail and sailed southeast.
"Where are they, who are those fleets? Are they not involved in the battle here?"
Anne Taylor screamed, but the question was only a question from Tang Yunyang. This one alone had already made Anne Taylor understand her identity. She was a soldier and a soldier working in the headquarters. She was a confidentiality agreement. Don’t ask what should not be asked, and you would never know what should not be known.
So, where did the Navy Commander Lukner lead his subordinates? I'm afraid no one else knows that except Tang Yunyang and Lukner, the "ghost captain".

In this war, Australia, as the dominant of Britain, had to participate in the war. But they adopted a defensive battle. That is, if the Chinese Federation did not attack Australia's mainland, they would not send the remaining army to join the war.
As for the Netherlands, their target was control of Batavia. At this time, the "Javalian Youth Army" led by Sukarno had reached a considerable scale with the help of French equipment and had begun to attack the Chinese industry.
Of course, because the Chinese Federal fleet was nearby, they still had some concerns and did not dare to take large-scale operations. At the same time, the Dutch army in Batavia was also building a large-scale defense base.
According to the information obtained by MI5 from Europe, the focus of the combat in the European direction is in addition to the "Butterfly City", and the navy's combat focus will be on Batavia. There, a huge warehouse for storing arms supplies has been established to facilitate the decisive battle at sea with the Chinese Federal Navy.
Of course, the main goal in the early stage was still the "City of Butterflies". Only by gaining control of the Red Sea estuary can Europe's maritime forces go directly to the east through the Suez Canal. In order to carry out the battle here, the British concentrated 100,000 troops. The French mobilized 300,000 troops. At the same time, they also dispatched an army of 100,000 troops of Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands.
The 500,000 army includes 7 armored divisions and most other artillery, mechanized troops or army. In terms of the navy, the British dispatched a fleet of 8 battleships, 25 cruisers, 50 destroyers, plus 8 simple aircraft carriers, and 240 various types of military aircraft. As for the French navy, its strength is almost equivalent. After the navy of all countries added up, the number of battleships, 20 simple aircraft carriers, more than 120 cruisers, destroyers, and more than 600 aircraft.
They faced 280,000 troops from the Chinese Federal Rapid Response Force, the Federal Defense Forces Rapid Response Force and Thunder International brigades. In addition, they also included the Chinese Federal First Air Force and three aircraft carrier battle groups.
From a certain perspective, this war will be the largest war since World War I. Especially the comparison of maritime forces between the two sides, the number of warships is a war with a huge gap.
