Chapter 1405 The Arrival of the Skull and Bones Society

In the energy group, there may be many troops with stronger combat effectiveness than SAS, but why does Li Cong still need this unit? Li Cong has his own plan. Now the Guards have been fully formed, but in many aspects

Li Cong still felt a little dissatisfied. If he could get the entire SAS training plan and everything they could bear, would his Guards be able to become an army like theirs? Then he would have ten

Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of sas. Li Cong has never said this plan. He just thought of it by chance. That's why he is so interested in this. The heir to the Habsburg dynasty saw Li Cong

So, thinking that Li Cong did have many armies, it was impossible for him to take a liking to his small army. He had really judged a gentleman with a villain's heart just now, but what he didn't expect was that Li Cong would just

I fell in love with this army.

"By the way, until now, I still don't know what to call you? Or what kind of prince are you?" Li Cong said with a smile, adding wine to this guy. It can be seen that this guy likes drinking very much.

.

"Just call me Gogol." This guy took a sip and said slowly. Judging from the way he enjoyed it, he really liked drinking. The name Gogol shouldn't be the name of the royal family. It seemed like it was just a name.

It's just a code name, but the name is also a code name. It doesn't matter what the name is, the important thing is that you are familiar with the person in front of you.

"We are considered good collaborators at this time. One thing I want you to understand is that what I need is an ally, not someone who is always suspicious. You may also know my character. If all the people who cooperate with me

If he has second thoughts, I won't make it easy for him. I think you should know better than me what is going on with Herbert. I don't want you to become his second one." Li Cong said while holding the wine glass, giving this

A little pressure is a must for the kid. No one can be so relaxed when facing himself. Looking at this kid's relaxed appearance, I feel a little uncomfortable. This kid is a little too calm.

"Haha, of course I know everything about Mr. Li very well. That guy Herbert didn't see clearly what a good path it was to cooperate with Mr. Li. He didn't understand how bright it would be if he continued on this path.

My path is different from that of him. He is just a descendant of a grand duke. I am a descendant of the royal family. Please rest assured about this, Mr. Li. However, what I am worried about is being an ally with Mr. Li.

, the ones that may be annexed by you in the end are your former good friends, the Kong family, which is very powerful, but now, there is basically nothing left, and I don’t want to follow in their footsteps." This guy looked at it.

When he noticed that Li Cong's eyes were not very good, he immediately stopped him. He was a boy who was very good at observing words and emotions.

The conversation between the two ended like this. Li Cong also knew that his partner was very powerful. Of course, it was not that powerful compared to his own power in the world, but at least for now, it was very good.

Yes, especially in Europe, it still has a lot of say.

When Gogol was about to get on the plane, he saw several people carrying large boxes, so he went over and took a look.

"What are these things? I don't seem to have that many salutes." He pointed at the two wooden boxes and said.

"Mr. Gogol, this is a gift from our president. I hope you like it. This is the 1999 Great Wall Dry Red." A staff member of an energy group opened a box and said, this is Gogol's favorite.

It’s just that the red wine of this vintage has been around for decades. It’s not easy to get it. But as the big boss of red wine, Li Cong still has a lot of inventory. What this guy thinks of at this moment is

Li Cong is indeed as legendary as he is. He is very generous to his friends. There are at least hundreds of thousands bottles of this kind of red wine internationally. He directly gave himself two boxes, which is enough for him to keep open for two years.

, these alone are worth tens of millions. They are just small gifts. Not to mention the value, I really like this gift from Li Cong. I originally thought that I might not be able to drink it after leaving that office.

Well, I still feel pretty good right now.

"Thank you Mr. Li for me. I'll leave first." The guy nodded and walked out with two bottles. It seems that this guy really likes drinking. These two bottles of wine are probably on the way.

Enjoyed it.

"Who is this guy? He has such a big air. Our president's special plane will send this guy back in person." Another delivery guy said. Maybe many staff here can't stand this guy's arrogance.

No wonder these people usually follow Li Cong. They are used to their master being arrogant. If others are so arrogant, they will always feel uncomfortable. This is normal.

"Haha, he is just a poor person. After so many years, no matter how powerful or scheming they are, how many of these people can take advantage of our president? They are just some

They are just fools, most of the time they are just passers-by." Another older person said, he has been with Li Cong for a long time, these people who can board the president's plane should be said to be good, but

The final result is not very good. Of course, if they don't do anything wrong, they may be very good, but if they make a little mistake, they may not have a good life.

Not long after this guy left, Karelina came in with a strength report from the former Portuguese military.

Portugal is a country on the Iberian Peninsula in Europe, with the Atlantic coast to the west and south, and Spain to the north and east. In addition to the territory of the European continent, the Azores and Madeira Islands in the Atlantic Ocean are Portuguese territories. Macau

Before it was handed back to China in 1999 (from 1999 to 1999), it was ruled by Portugal. Cabo da Roca, west of the Portuguese capital Lisbon, is the westernmost point in Europe. Portugal is a modern industrial and agricultural country, with industries such as metal refining, chemicals, petroleum, etc.

industry, but the most famous one is the cork made of cork wood, which ranks among the best in the world. In the past, Portugal had a large number of overseas colonies, which provided it with an endless supply of raw materials. However, since the colonies have been established one after another, this advantage has been lost.

Disappearing day by day. Portugal is also one of the founding members of the euro.

In 2020, the Portuguese regular army had a total strength of 44,900. Among them, the army had 26,700, the navy 10,950, and the air force 7,250. In addition, Portugal also had 210,930 reserve troops and 47,700 paramilitary troops, including ** and

There are 26,100 National Guardsmen and 21,600 Public Security Policemen. After joining Europa, these armies were reorganized. The Air Force and Navy have been disbanded. However, the Army is still very good. After the final expansion, it formed the current

The Europa Fifteenth Army can be said to be very combat effective.

The most capable person in Gogol's hands is definitely SAS, but this Fifteenth Army is not a vegetarian. Although these abilities are quite good, they are only just okay.

"Have you found out how that guy controls SAS? I have no interest in these local troops. What I need is a SAS. As for other things, I don't want to touch them for the time being. After all, our allies are not fools.

"Li Cong looked at the information and said, there is nothing outstanding, these troops can be said to be of no use.

"President, I think you have lost your patience recently. What I want to tell you is that the current location where the 15th Army is stationed is the island of Cyprus. I wonder if you are interested?" Karelina has not finished speaking.

Li Cong ran towards the map like a gust of wind. This island of Cyprus is known as the unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean. This strategic location can be said to be even more powerful than Corsica. No wonder Karelina

I would say that.

Cyprus (Greek: k?πpo?; Turkish: k?br?s; English: cyprus ) is a geographically Asian island country, belonging to the European Bible called "Kiti" (in ancient times and the Assyrian Empire).

Located in the eastern Mediterranean, it is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Mediterranean. The legal sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus is the entire island of Cyprus and its surrounding waters, except for a small area assigned to the United Kingdom as a military base by treaty; but in fact it is

It is divided into northern and southern parts. The effective area ruled by the Republic is 59% of the island. The northern 37% is occupied by Turkey and calls itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. This political entity is currently recognized by only Turkey. Cyprus was established in May 2004.

It officially became a member of the European Union on January 1st. After 2025, all territories will join Europa. Because it is a small place and there are not many people, Europa did not pay attention to the right to speak here. In the end, in order to coordinate the army below, let the reorganization

Later, the Portuguese Fifteenth Army arrived and stationed here.

According to archaeological discoveries, human life existed on the island of Cyprus about 9,000 years ago. In the 12th century BC, Greeks began to immigrate to the island. It was later conquered by Egypt, Persia and other countries. It was incorporated into the Roman Empire in 30 BC;

It belonged to the Byzantine Empire from 330 AD to 1191 AD. Afterwards, Cyprus was successively occupied by the French and Venetians during the Crusades. It was ruled by the Ottoman Turkish Empire from 1571 to 1878. In 1878, Cyprus was ceded to the United Kingdom, and in 1925 it became Cyprus.

It is a British "direct colony". In the early 1950s, the Serbian people resisted British colonial rule and their struggle for national independence continued to rise. In ancient times, the navy was not very developed, and the strategic position here was not recognized by anyone.

With the arrival of the European powers, things are not that simple here.

In February 1959, Serbia signed the Zurich-London Agreement with Britain, Greece, and Turkey, which determined the basic structure of the final state and the internal distribution of power between the two communities. In 1960, Serbia signed a "Guarantee Treaty" with the above three countries, guaranteeing by them

The independence, territorial integrity and security of Cyprus; it has signed an "Alliance Treaty" with Greece and Turkey, which stipulates that they have the right to station troops in Cyprus. On August 16, 1960, Cyprus declared independence and established the Republic of Cyprus, composed of Greece and Turkey.

The coalition government, with a Greek as president and a Turkish as vice-president, determined October 1st as National Day every year. It joined the Commonwealth in March 1961.

In 1963, an armed conflict broke out between the two ethnic groups. In 1964, United Nations peacekeeping forces were stationed on the island. In 1967, the Turkish people established a separate "administrative authority". In July 1974, the Greek military group launched a coup in Cyprus, and Turkey sent troops to Cyprus in the name of "guarantor country".

Cyprus occupied 37% of the northern territory of the island and moved all Turkish residents northward. During the war, about 180,000 Greeks moved southward, causing refugee problems and missing persons problems. Since then, the Republic of Cyprus has been divided between north and south for a long time. In February 1975,

The Turkish people announced the establishment of the "Turkish State of Cyprus" and elected Denktash as "President". On November 15, 1983, the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" was established.

Recognized by other countries.

Since 1975, the United Nations and the international community have been working hard to resolve the Cyprus issue. The leaders of the two communities began intermittent negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations Secretary-General, but no breakthrough has been achieved so far. December 2002

Annan proposed a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus issue. In January 2003, the Greek and Turkish communities held a new round of negotiations, but failed to reach an agreement and failed in The Hague on March 11. In March 2004, the two sides hosted a meeting in Annan.

Negotiations on the unification of Cyprus will be resumed. According to Annan's proposal to the Greek and Turkish communities in Cyprus, the two sides will conclude negotiations on the unification of Cyprus before the end of March 2004. On April 24, citizens of North and South Cyprus held separate meetings on Annan's unification plan.

Referendum. Because more than 75% of the citizens of South Serbia believed that the implementation of the Annan plan lacked security and the interests of South Serbia were not effectively protected, they voted veto. The new round of negotiations on the reunification of North and South Serbia ended in failure.

In fact, in Li Cong's opinion, it is best for such an important place not to be unified in his whole life. If such an important place is really unified, then it will not be that simple for him to just want Brother Zhao's chance. Fortunately, the same is true for those European powers.

Because of this idea, there is basically no time to unify here.

This island is an island country in the eastern Mediterranean. It is the center of maritime transportation in Asia, Africa and Europe. It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean with a coastline of 537 kilometers. The north is a long and narrow mountain range with many hills; the southwest is a mountain range with higher terrain; the central part is

The fertile Mesolian plain. There are no permanent rivers on the island, only a few intermittent rivers. It has a subtropical Mediterranean climate, with hot and dry summers, with an average temperature of 28 to 35 degrees Celsius, and mild and humid winters, with temperatures of 4 to 10 degrees Celsius.

Cyprus, which means "Island of Copper" in Greek, and whose country name is the Republic of Cyprus, is an island country located in the easternmost part of the Mediterranean Sea. It faces Greece, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Egypt across the sea.

It has been a transportation artery connecting the Middle East, Africa and Europe since ancient times. Modern people liken it to the "unsinkable aircraft carrier of the Eastern Mediterranean". Cyprus is 241 kilometers long from east to west, 97 kilometers wide from north to south, and covers an area of ​​9,251 square kilometers (Cyprus Greece in 1974,

After the division of the two ethnic groups in Turkey, the Greeks and Turkish occupied 60 and 37 of the territory respectively, and the other 3 belonged to the two sovereign bases of the United Kingdom). It was the third largest island in the Mediterranean and the hometown of the goddess Venus. After the establishment of Europa,

The strategic location here is even more apparent. No aircraft carrier of any kind can catch up with an aircraft carrier composed of land.

"Add to the question of tracking down Gogol and see how he controls the Fifteenth Army. I don't need the Fifteenth Army, but what I need is Cyprus. The policy here must be completely different from that of Corsica.

Likewise, we can't go too far. You must know that Europa is not a soft persimmon. Of course, your boss and I are not specifically looking for soft persimmons. I ordered our fleet that has entered the Mediterranean to sail to Corsica. Our planes can

Fly on the southern continent of Europe and ask them to make concessions to me." Li Cong thought for a while and said, he has done this thing several times, and this time he has to do it more carefully, so that they can focus their attention.

At this point, you can put your hands into Saprus.

"Sir, our strength in Cyprus is the same as none. We only have a local spy team of dozens of people. It would be good if they could provide us with some information." Karelina said.

"Haha, doesn't our group have an office there? Sometimes everything is needed. Don't separate the military headquarters from our ordinary forces." Li Cong said with a smile. It was not like this in the past.

Before the military headquarters was established, some things were still being done by local branches.

"Sir, even if we can control the 15th Army, it will be difficult to control the entire Cyprus. You must know that Turkey's military power is not simple. They also have troops stationed on the islands, and the distance is not very far."

Karelina told the actual situation, but Li Cong smiled, as if he was very disapproving.

"You just have too many issues to consider. We may lose a lot of opportunities, just like Corsica. Do we have any losses? Although Turkey's military power is as strong as that, don't forget it.

That was before, the Ottoman Turkish Empire no longer exists, and after the establishment of Europa, its troops have been deployed to various parts of Europe, and now the strength there is not very strong." Li Cong said.

While Li Cong was still immersed in joy, something happened at the U.S. Fifth Fleet station that Li Cong had never expected. Another ace force of the U.S. military, the U.S. 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, was won here.

The purpose of coming here is not for the energy group, but for Europa. Since we have cooperated with Li Cong, it is impossible to just see Li Cong eating meat and drinking soup. The Skull and Bones Society has disappeared from the world for too long. This
