Chapter 206: Dark Currents Surge in Bosi
Early morning.
On Bosi's biggest square.
It is also the entrance to the leader's office.
A flag-raising ceremony is being held.
Amidst the crowd's gaze.
The soldiers of the Guardian of the Faith Army solemnly carried a flag to the flagpole.
With a wave of the soldier's hand.
A black flag fluttered in the wind.
In everyone's astonished gaze.
The black flag slowly rose.
In Bosi's traditional culture.
The meaning of the black flag.
It is blood and revenge.
It means eternal hostility toward the enemy.
And in Bosi's capital.
Inside a secluded building.
A cloaked person.
Knocked on the door.
"One Ha La, come not?"
After this person spoke this password.
Only then did the door open.
A man's head popped out.
He looked around.
He quickly pulled the cloaked person into the room.
"Hasan, didn't you know the whole city is under martial law now?"
The room's owner asked.
"Habas."
"I didn't expect you still care about this?"
"It seems these years of life have worn away your glory."
Hasan took off his cloak.
Looking at Habas before him.
"Glory?"
"What good is that?"
"Besides, we can only live in hiding here."
"Or be a useless person?"
Habas said with a bitter smile.
Hasan looked toward the inside of the house.
The floor was littered with wine bottles.
"Looks like you've become quite decadent."
"Let's not talk about that."
"We are going to have a big operation soon."
"Do you want to participate?"
"The great general of Bosi?"
Hasan looked at Habas.
While Habas pointed to himself.
Saying: "Just me, still the great general of Bosi?"
"That was over ten years ago."
"Now they are in power."
"Those things are in the past."
Habas said.
"This time."
"Someone is helping us."
Hasan said.
"Who?"
"Eagle Country's Central Intelligence Agency."
Hasan answered decisively.
"Eagle Country's Central Intelligence Agency?"
"You actually believe them?"
"Are you joking with me?"
Habas looked at Hasan with an expression of disbelief.
"We have already reached cooperation with the Central Intelligence Agency."
"Now the Judeans are declaring war on Bosi."
"As soon as they start fighting."
"The National Defense Army will definitely receive weapons support."
"With weapons."
"We can then launch a counteroffensive."
"We can then rescue Bosi from the hands of those clergy."
"Don't you want that?"
"Hasang questioned Habas."
"I do. But how reliable is the Central Intelligence Agency's promise?"
"Why don't you think about how we ended up in this situation!"
"Isn't it just because of them?"
"Faced with this questioning,"
"Hasang was speechless."
"After half a day."
"He could only say: 'I cannot guarantee it.'"
"But as long as we have guns and cannons."
"Isn't it still up to us to decide?"
"Do you know the current situation of the National Defense Army?"
"While those scoundrels of the Religion-Protecting Army are eating well and living lavishly."
"The soldiers of the National Defense Army can't even get enough to eat."
"You're saying this isn't a kind of discrimination?"
"This is just about food."
"Daily training."
"The Religion-Protecting Army's personnel train every day, and they have sufficient ammunition."
"What about the National Defense Army?"
"They can only train their physical fitness every day."
"They basically have no ammunition."
"The entire budget of the National Defense Army is actually less than that of a single platoon of the Religion-Protecting Army."
"What a huge discrimination this is."
"And you still remain indifferent here?"
"Faced with Hasang's questioning,"
"Habas could only lower his head."
"After a moment of silence,"
"He asked: 'What then?'"
"What about Juda?"
"What are we to do about Juda?"
"What they want to invade is Bosi."
"This land."
"Regardless of whether those clergy are in power or we are."
"Habas asked."
"First, preserve our strength."
"Let the Religion-Protecting Army go all out."
"If they fail,"
"then we will take their place."
"If they fail, then from now on there will be no Bosi."
"If we win, we will carry the might of a great victory."
"eliminate the remnants."
"Perhaps the Religion-Protecting Army really could defeat Juda."
"By then they will have already suffered heavy losses."
"while we are fully armed."
"Then let's have a real showdown with live weapons."
"Faced with these words,"
"Habas finally spoke up."
"Good."
"I will join."
"Hasang showed a smile."
"General, welcome your joining."
"Come back to the National Defense Army."
"There are still many old friends."
Just as the two were happily chatting.
The current general of the Defense Force, Hamier, angrily rushed up to Ali.
President Ali.
I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation.
Why do we have to go to war?
Our Defense Force's budget is still this little.
Do you know?
If it's this budget.
I can only give each soldier five bullets.
They're going to defend the homeland!
Are you really going to treat them like this?
Ali looked at the angry Amir.
I've already given enough.
This time's budget is five times your usual budget.
You've already gotten enough.
Upon hearing that, Amir became even more furious.
But he knew.
But he couldn't just quit in anger or use other methods.
Amir had always known.
That cleric group has wanted to disband the Defense Force for more than a day or two.
If I were to tell Ali that I want to resign.
The Defense Force would not fight.
Then Ali would probably happily sign his resignation and the Defense Force's disbandment document.
This is the only hope for Bosi's revival.
It cannot be ruined in his hands.
Amir calmed his emotions.
He said to Ali, 'Mr. President.'
Please consider the actual situation.
Our boys are fighting the invading enemies of Bosi.
They need weapons, they need medicine.
And the current budget simply cannot meet those needs.
Our guns have no bullets.
Our cannons have no shells.
Our tanks don't even have fuel.
How can we fight Juda like this?
I ask you to carefully consider this matter.
Ali saw Amir lower his head.
His mood was quite good.
But he still took the real situation into account.
He thought for a while.
Only then did Ali make a decision.
Give your Defense Force five times the budget.
I hope you don't let us down.
Otherwise, a defeated army.
Might as well go die.
Amir immediately stood up.
He promised, 'We will definitely use our weapons.'
Protect Bosi well.
Hmm.
Ali blandly said an 'hmm'.
Only then did Amir turn and leave.
Although this budget still hasn't reached five percent of the Guardian Army's
but it is already enough to satisfy the Defense Force's bullet and shell supply.
As for Ali arranging to be on the front line.
Amir disdainfully spat.
"Damn, you want me to die?"
"Go dream on!"
After Amir returned to the Defense Force camp.
Only then did Amir say with a smile, 'I am to defend Bosi.'
"But."
I didn't say that.
Which Bosi is it!
