Chapter 710 Balkans, the End
Obviously, not everyone will die with the Europeans.
In the face of such a major event that is likely to change the direction of the world line, it is extremely important to take the initiative.
It should be said that the U.S. military was extremely efficient in this regard. It completed a series of post-event disposals almost within two hours of the Spirit of Kansas being shot down.
If it weren't for the unlucky Brigadier General Marlott who happened to be ejected almost to the city center and went in the wrong direction due to GPS interference while heading to the suburbs, the helicopter of the combat rescue team waited for half an hour and was not seen. The figure is forced to retreat, and the negative impact of this incident may even be narrowed to a very small extent.
It's a pity that there are some things that cannot be avoided.
Wrong targets, unexploded bombs, captured brigadiers.
Their situation suddenly became very embarrassing.
The world, in many cases, is actually turn-based.
After the American with the fastest reaction has finished playing his cards and the European with the second fastest reaction has lost the connection and burned the rope without having time to play the cards, it is the turn of others.
On the afternoon of April 18, as mentioned at the General Staff Meeting, Mr. Zhang and Fu Youquan held a round of remote meetings with General Anatoly Kvashnin to discuss the dispatch of units to carry out peacekeeping operations in the name of the Security Council. possibility.
Condit cheered up and stood up a little straighter, but still did not put his hand on the handle of the M2 machine gun.
It doesn't sound like one yet.
A few hours later, local time, on the night of April 18th.
However, just when he was already feeling a little sleepy, the roar of a diesel engine suddenly came from far and near.
Even on normal days, there are not many vehicles passing through here.
The positive words will definitely not be so straightforward, but that is what they mean.
But a convoy.
The relationship between your second uncle and your father has been ups and downs for so many years. Now that such a good opportunity is in front of you, you must not be able to go it alone. I have already prepared to do something. If you don't follow, I will look down on you...
Sgt Matthew Condit, who was standing guard, stood in the machine gunner position of the Humvee as usual, looking at the road in front of him boredly.
In fact, Chang Haonan was able to come up with this idea at that time, largely inspired by this army in the previous life...
In fact, the core purpose is to raise fire—
You old Russians have been important players in the Balkans for the past two hundred years. Although they have shrunk now, they are no longer just cats and dogs. Now Americans are just that. Even the European Five started to cause trouble, and in the end they still Internal strife has begun. Can you bear it if you don't do something now? If you can bear it, you can eat it...
Of course, Gonghuo is Gonghuo, and the other person is not a fool after all.
If you want to persuade others to take advantage of the fire, you will definitely have no hope of relying on words alone. In the end, you still have to rely on profits.
As it happens, if the plan proposed by China can be implemented, the Russians will probably be the ones who can take advantage of it the most.
Especially at night.
Searchlights and headlights can only illuminate a distance of about a hundred meters. To the human eye, places farther away are completely dark, as if leading to an abyss.
What's more, since the Allied Operation began, the checkpoint has become a theoretical war zone.
Border of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Because they are in the Balkans and really have a force that can be mobilized immediately.
Although the border area has not been directly affected by the war, except for a few unlucky ones who live on one side and work on the other, it is even less likely that anyone will take this road.
Since he was standing at the highest position, he saw a row of car lights traveling along the road in the distance earlier than others.
Other people on the ground who were standing guard with him had spread out, preparing to conduct routine inspections of the convoy.
Generally speaking, the trucks passing through here are used by international organizations to transport supplies (and of course smuggling), and inspections are only routine. As long as the driver spends a little money, even this routine can be skipped.
As the opposing convoy gradually approached, a lieutenant in charge of the sentry came to the middle of the road, crossed his hands above his head, and signaled the other party to stop.
But soon, they discovered that something was wrong.
The other party suddenly turned on the high beam, making the people on the ground unable to open their eyes for a while.
However, Condit, who is in a higher position, was not affected too much.
What appeared under the searchlights did not appear to be the expected convoy of trucks.
The one headed by the car, judging from its outline, seems to have a turret...
“It's a tank...no, it should be an armored vehicle?”
Condit almost subconsciously pulled the charging handle and shouted loudly to his comrades below.
In this flash of time, the opposing team had already approached some distance away.
Now, even a few people on the ground can distinguish the distinctive outline of the BTR armored vehicle from its outline.
The words "KFOR" seem to be visible on the lower armor plate of the lead car.
The US military was a little confused for a while.
KFOR was a force prepared to move into the Balkans to take control of the situation following a successful Allied operation.
Although they are still in the preparation stage, they have actually been sent near the border under various names. By then, they can just change their clothes and rush in -
That's right, it's actually them.
Now, when seeing this logo that belongs to you appears in front of you, everyone will be confused for a moment. In fact, if we put it aside 10 years ago, when we saw BTR, we could already judge whether the opponent was an enemy or not a friend.
However, since the 1990s, a large number of countries equipped with Soviet-style equipment have become their allies or quasi-allies, which directly makes it completely unfeasible to rely on equipment models to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
And just in time, in order to show "sincere unity", there are actually several teams from different countries in Eastern Europe in the KFOR sequence.
“Is it our turn to rush in?”
Condit couldn't remember where his KFOR armband was thrown. If he needed it now, it might be a bit troublesome.
The lieutenant standing in the middle of the road still had the same posture as before, trying to check the identity of the visitor.
But not only did the other party have no intention of stopping, the sound of the diesel engine actually became louder and sounded like it was accelerating.
At the same time, the two sides finally got close enough to see the details of each other's vehicles.
The first car seemed to have a white, blue and red tricolor flag on its side...
Condit, who had just woken up from a dream, wanted to turn the machine gun, but then realized that he had not actually received the order to fire.
Furthermore, our side currently only has one 12.7 and a few 5.56s, while the opponent's worst firepower is 14.5, and there seem to be a few 30mm...
If you really get into trouble, it seems to be a bit of a disadvantage.
It's hard to say who the sergeant's hesitation saved at this moment, but in short, the opponent's convoy arrived in front of him almost in an instant.
The lieutenant who was standing in the middle of the road jumped to the side with quick eyesight and quick hands.
With a loud "bang", the checkpoint's blocking pole was knocked away, and a dozen BTR armored vehicles filed into the other side of the border under the watchful eyes of a group of US troops...
“Lieutenant?”
After the smoke and dust raised by the motorcade cleared, Condit turned to look at the lieutenant who had not even touched a gun during the entire journey.
The sound of the diesel engine gradually faded away, and the scene became quiet again.
Nothing seemed to have happened except for the broken barricades.
The lieutenant calmed down his frightened mood:
“Report to the superiors and tell them that a KFOR convoy has just passed the checkpoint and ask us if we need to follow them.”
“But that was Russia just now…”
The other person next to him looked shocked.
After all, the other party didn't even take off the national flag on the car. The reason why it was written KFOR was obviously not to confuse them.
Either he wanted to express his dissatisfaction for not receiving an invitation when KFOR was formed, or it was just a simple prank.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the lieutenant:
“I only saw an Allied convoy with the KFOR logo on it, what about you?”
The radio operator understood immediately and quickly adjusted the channel to try to get in touch with his superiors.
Early the next morning, news that shocked the world came.
A VDV fleet of about 200 people has arrived at the central airport in the Balkans.
Faced with doubts, the Russians are also very convincing:
“Isn't the Allied Operation over? Then it should be reasonable for me to be invited by the host country to maintain peace here, right?”
“Your action caused the tragedy of more than a hundred civilian casualties the night before yesterday, most of which were your own. Is it to protect people as promised?”
“I told you not to take me with you when you formed KORF. Are you being punished now? Now that the chaos is like this, if you don't rely on me to maintain peace, how can you still rely on you?”
"Now that my people have been sent in anyway, it is impossible to come out. However, I am willing to serve as an intermediary to host the exchange of prisoners, and to form a completely open investigation team to investigate what happened the day before yesterday. All countries and organizations that want to participate, we All welcome.”
After this statement, Huaxia also stood up and said that I have already told you that peace is the most important thing and not to engage in war. You see, things are now in chaos.
Furthermore, since the eldest nephew has spoken, as one of the five good people, I cannot shun international responsibilities, so I reluctantly set an example and agreed to send someone to join the investigation team. I also support the disclosure of the entire investigation process and results...
For such a big matter, investigation is definitely inevitable.
Otherwise, there would be no way to give an explanation to the people of the countries involved.
But both the United States and the European Union have their own agendas, and it is obviously impossible to allow the investigation results to be truly open and transparent.
At least it cannot be open and transparent led by the Russians.
Who knows what will be found?
Moreover, Brigadier General Marlott is still in the hands of the opponent. If the time drags on for too long, there is no guarantee that a confession will not be made. Obviously, the knot must be cut quickly...
Therefore, the United States immediately proposed that if the investigation is to be fair, it must not just stuff people into it, so it should be organized within the framework of the Security Council, which is fair and just.
Considering the safety of the investigation team itself, and in order to monitor the follow-up human situation in the Balkans, a peacekeeping unit should also be established in the name of the Security Council on the basis of KORF.
In the end, after several rounds of wrangling, KORF was finally expanded into a force composed of nearly 30 countries, including the five permanent members. In order to muddy the water, a lot of soy sauce was even included. member…
And the turbulent situation in the Balkans ushered in temporary peace in such an anticlimactic form...
