Chapter 1330: Traces of War

Chen Kangjie was still thinking about how to pave the way for meeting Lovich in Timisoara, but when he finished his trip to the south, he did not meet Lovich.

After meeting these reporters, Chen Kangjie and the others officially set off. Before leaving, everyone also put on a small vest with the Red Society logo printed on it. This is a name correction and a need for publicity.

Most of the reporters who attended this press conference chose to follow the Red Cross delegation to enter the war zone. This is a rare opportunity to interview. With the Red Cross, safety can be relatively guaranteed. In addition, there is also the eye-catching Chen Kangjie in it. The news sent back is both a battlefield and an entertainment news, both of which are both.

The convoy was walking along the highway from Timisoara to Zrenyanen. Although there was a railway link between the two cities, not long after the war broke out, railway transportation was suspended for safety needs. When the Baiga River and the railway bridge on the east canal were blown up, the railway could only be completely interrupted. Even on the road, there were two roads connected between the two cities, one main road, which was equivalent to the national highway in our country. This was newly built after World War II, and there was also a county road similar to the domestic road, which could only be regarded as an auxiliary road. This was found before the war. In order to oppress Lovic to surrender, the bridge across the main road had also been blown up and could not be crossed. Only the rugged auxiliary road could be used. Chen Kangjie and his friends entered by land, and this was the one that they walked.

Although it is rugged, it is actually about the road surface. From the terrain, this river network is closed, between plains and hills. There are many villages distributed on both sides of the road. Due to the interruption of railways and major highways, this originally lonely road became lively. There were still many vehicles along the way, but most of them came from the south and few went to the south.

Chen Kangjie and Bradbury were riding a Toyota off-road vehicle with the Red Society logo. Looking at the exotic scenery along the way, in order to calm down the mood, the two started chatting in French.

"Mr. Bradbury, have you been here before?" Chen Kangjie leaned on the back of the chair and asked Bradbury casually in response to the bumps of the wheels.

"I have been to more than fifty countries around the world, half of which are on the African continent. I only went to Macedonia in the Balkans, which was in 1991." Bradbury replied with a smile.

At this time, the convoy had not entered the southern country. Outside the window was a lively and busy scene. The farmer drove a tractor to the ground. The young man in ethnic costume rode a tall horse in the forest and grass. In front of a small shop next to the road, the little old man with a beard was leisurely basking in the sun and smoking a cigarette. He stared at the cars that suddenly appeared in front of him, as if he hoped that the people in the car could come down to patronize his business. The old man should know the answer to why there were so many cars on the deserted road at the door, so he could not see a curious expression on his face.

It was precisely because there was no trace of dilapidation outside the car window that Bradbury could still laugh.

"Then you are better than me. This is my first time, and you have been to many countries than me." Chen Kangjie said casually at the Ansen village with smoke emitting from the distance to his right.

"What's the point? I'm going to work, not to travel around the mountains and rivers. Usually, which country we want to go to means that there is a disaster in this country, which is unfortunate." Bradbury replied sadly, and suddenly Bradbury changed the topic and asked Chen Kangjie, "LONG, do you know why there are more cars driving along the way and fewer cars moving forward."

Chen Kangjie withdrew his gaze and was stunned for a moment. Is this old man going to take the exam for himself? This is not obvious. Those who came from there were refugees who fled from the war, and there were no ones who rushed to the danger. Although the answer was very simple, Chen Kangjie did not think that Bradbury looked down on him or teased him. From his cold and grim face, he could tell that, so Chen Kangjie answered in a regular manner.

Bradbury nodded, "Then why do NATO troops destroy railways and main roads."

This question is also simple. Chen Kangjie replied: "It should be to prevent the southern government from obtaining the supplies they need from other countries, thereby reducing their living space."

"Then why didn't NATO destroy this road?" Bradbury asked again.

Chen Kangjie dare not think it is easy to do this problem. Yes, since both the railway and the main road can be easily blown up, such a backward county road is even more difficult. But why should I leave this road? This question really forced Chen Kangjie to think about it.

After a moment of confusion, Chen Kangjie couldn't tell me anything. Just when he was about to ask for advice humbly, the vehicles carrying large and small bags of luggage that passed by him gave Chen Kangjie the answer. Chen Kangjie felt a sensation, "It should be for these people to escape from the South. The more people escaped, the more pressure the South government is under, and NATO will be able to let go of its hands and feet when fighting. That's right."

Bradbury smiled faintly, a breeze blew in from the car window, and the old man's hair was immediately messed up. He looked at Chen Kangjie kindly and said, "Your answer is generally not bad, but there are two points you may not have thought about."

Bradbury did not deny Chen Kangjie, and there was some relief in his tone, but he still pointed out that there were great shortcomings in Chen Kangjie's answer.

"Which two points?" Chen Kangjie's interest was really aroused. He had always been conceited and wanted to know where his loopholes were.

"You answered the main reason why NATO bombed the railway and main roads. But there is another point, that may be that the southern government forces slipped out of those two roads, especially those tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, etc., and your answer was correct, but you didn't answer all the answers. The bridges on this road could not carry heavy equipment. They let these refugees leave, on the one hand, they did not want to bear the criticisms of the war, and on the other hand, they increased the pressure on neighboring countries. Once too many refugees poured into Timisoara, it would be a big pressure to solve the lives of these people. At that time, I am afraid that neighboring countries with good relations will help Lovich's work and urge him to accept the conditions to surrender." Bradbury's French slap in French did sound quite comfortable, but Chen Kangjie didn't expect the content of his answer, and couldn't help but look surprised.

Chen Kangjie's expression at Bradbury changed subtly and became much more respectful. It seems that Jiang is still old. This old man has traveled around the world and seen more than once, especially when he went deep into war-torn areas, his vision is no longer from the perspective of a humanitarian. The old man has ideas in his mind, but he just doesn't show it, or his identity makes him unable to show it.

But why did Bradbury tell himself this? Chen Kangjie was a little confused again. After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Kangjie was still puzzled, but he did not ask Bradbury directly.

Seeing that Chen Kangjie did not ask why, Bradbury showed a hint of satisfaction in the corner of his eyes, because even if Chen Kangjie asked, he would not answer.

Speaking of the reason, it is actually very simple and pure. After more than once contact and understanding, Bradbury knew that Chen Kangjie was a person who was more interested in politics and a person with great ideas, so he had this shorter conversation with him, which was to give Chen Kangjie a tip so that he could think about the problem more deeply and comprehensively.

It’s true that the old man’s tips, full of wisdom, really played a role in Chen Kangjie later.

Although the old road from Timisoara to Zrenyanen was a little spared, fortunately there were no dangerous mountains or sharp bends. Chen Kangjie and his friends crossed the border in more than an hour and entered the southern country. After entering the country, the south also sent officials from the Red Cross and a small team of soldiers carrying live ammunition to greet him.

Chen Kangjie did not get off the car, but Bradbury got off and said hello to them, and the convoy continued to drive forward.

Perhaps because it is relatively close to the border, Chen Kangjie saw that there is no big difference between the southern country and the border. There is no trace of war on both sides of the road. The villages exist intact, and the crops in the farmland are still growing well. Even Chen Kangjie can see some farmers working in the fields, as if the country is still peaceful and peaceful. Only when he sees the two rows of warriors standing on military trucks carrying rifles, wearing helmets, and standing on military trucks can he truly recall that this country is indeed not peaceful.

Chen Kangjie wanted to see the scene brought by the war, but in fact he could see it without long. Precision-guided bombs and aviation bombs are not cheap. Even if NATO countries are very rich, there is no need for planes to kill mosquitoes. Since there is basically no ground war in the entire Ikori War, it is all about cities. Almost all strategic and key targets in the southern country are in the urban areas and cities. How could NATO bomb the countryside? This is not the time when Japanese fascists invaded China.

Even if the South is not a modern industrial power, it is basically urbanized, and the proportion of urban population is very high. In 1982, the country's urban population reached 50%. What's more, today seventeen years later, for such a country, NATO only needs to target bombing at cities, with military and civilian targets in cities.
