Chapter 559 The Victory Banquet

A day later, the Santos government announced to the outside world in Desola that their troops had completely controlled the city, and the Old Mo region had achieved unification in a practical sense, with all wars within its territory coming to an end.

Yesterday's annihilation battle was also designated by the Santos government as "Regional Victory Day!"

As soon as the announcement was made, not only the officers and soldiers of Old Mo were overjoyed, but also the people living on this land were ecstatic.

On the same day, Santos personally visited Desola to comfort the soldiers and the people in the city, and held an administrative meeting and a military summary meeting for the Old Mo region.

At the same time, the Santos government also decided to hold a celebration banquet for Victory Day. Considering that the buildings in the entire administrative region had been basically damaged, the tax building in the surrounding area, which had not been devastated, was finally chosen to host it.

…

Seven o'clock in the evening, Desola Development Zone, Tax Building.

Outside the building, soldiers maintained vigilance, protecting the safety here. At this time, a large number of military vehicles were parked downstairs, and many important military and political officials had arrived here.

The reception hall on the second floor had been redecorated, filled with tables and chairs, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it very festive and lively.

In the cheerful music, the atmosphere of the banquet became more intense. A group of generals were talking to each other, toasting and drinking, all with joy on their faces brought by victory.

Su Tianyu, along with Wang Dingyuan, Zhao Weihu, Fei Pingsheng and others, was also among these generals, exchanging greetings with the people around him.

In this peaceful atmosphere, the door next to him was slowly pushed open, and Santos, wearing a neat suit, strode in with more than twenty core generals from Old Mo, into the banquet scene.

"Commander!"

"Your Excellency Commander!"

Greetings sounded one after another, Santos smiled and nodded to these people one by one. Da Feng Novel Network

A group of official media reporters also took pictures with cameras. These people were specially allowed to enter, mainly responsible for cooperating with the subsequent political propaganda.

Su Tianyu also saw Santos, and immediately led Zhao Weihu and the others to meet him, smiling and raising his glass, saying, "Today is really a day to commemorate."

Santos's face was flushed, and he replied spiritedly, "This is thanks to your support, my dear friend!"

Su Tianyu paused for a moment, and said with a double meaning, "Now we need your help even more, Mr. Commander."

Santos smiled reservedly, without responding immediately.

The chief of staff standing beside him said lightly, "Commander, our troops need to rest now, and there are many things that need to be dealt with in the inland. Tonight is our celebration banquet, let us enjoy peace and wine to our heart's content. As for military issues, please leave them to the subsequent talks to resolve."

Hearing this, Su Tianyu's expression remained unchanged, and he still smiled and said, "Okay."

Zhao Weihu, Wang Dingyuan and others standing behind him couldn't help frowning when they heard this, but they didn't say anything.

Santos smiled and shook hands with everyone, and finally patted their shoulders and said, "Let's spend this happy time together tonight! Make yourselves at home."

After speaking, Santos turned and left, exchanging greetings with other generals.

After they walked away, Wang Dingyuan, with his hands behind his back, looked at Santos's back as he talked and laughed with others, thought for a while, and turned his head to Su Tianyu and said, "I think his attitude is a bit ambiguous. Is he going to kick us aside after we've served our purpose?"

Su Tianyu smiled and replied in a low voice, "If he chooses to kick us aside now, he's too stupid to be the leader of the Old Mo region."

"It's hard to say. Now that Old Mo is unified, are they still willing to help us fight?"

"I also think..."

Some young officers also whispered, expressing their dissatisfaction with Santos's vague attitude.

At this moment, the music that was playing slowly stopped, and the musicians put down their instruments and sat quietly on their chairs, seemingly waiting for something.

Soon, an Old Mo officer walked onto the stage and shouted loudly, "Next, please welcome our Commander, our leader Mr. Santos, to deliver a speech for the victory banquet!"

"Pa pa pa!"

Thunderous applause immediately rang out in the room, and various flashes kept flashing.

Santos waved his hand, stepped onto the main platform, looked at the crowd below, showed a bright smile, and slowly waved his hand to signal.

Everyone stopped applauding and gradually quieted down, all eyes falling on him.

Santos held a glass of red wine in his right hand and said slowly, "Today is the most memorable day in the Old Mo region since the New Era. From before the Era to the New Era, we have gone through sixty or seventy years, and finally achieved unification at this moment! Although we have walked slowly, every step has been extremely solid! This hard-won victory is not only our victory, but also the victory of the people! I congratulate you!"

"Pa pa pa..."

Another round of thunderous applause rang out below, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

After the applause gradually stopped, Santos continued, "However, I personally believe that our war is not over yet! Only a thousand kilometers away, the Dragon City is still suffering from the ravages of war, just like we used to be! Moreover, the intercontinental missiles there may hit our capital at any time! Under the shadow of war, our people and our territory are not completely safe! Moreover, there are thousands of Chinese in Dragon City, guarding their army. There are also comrades-in-arms who have walked with us to this day, they are the Renmin Army!"

Speaking, Santos paused for a moment, looked at Su Tianyu and the others below the stage, nodded slowly to them, and continued, "Our friendship with the Chinese and the friendship with the Renmin Army have been tested by blood and fire! I think everyone standing here today knows this better than I do. In the arduous battles in recent years, our troops have always been filled with Chinese figures! Now, we have won and are tasting the wine of peace. But we must help them, just as they once selflessly helped us! They are our most reliable friends! Therefore, I announce that in three days, we will gather 200,000 troops in the town of Juarez! And I will hand over my command entirely to Commander Su Tianyu! As you know, he is a military genius. He will lead our troops into Dragon City, liberate our allies, and bring peace there as well!"

"Hua hua hua!"

The applause offstage was thunderous again, even more enthusiastic, and lasted for a long time.

Several young Chinese generals who had just been dissatisfied could not help but feel ashamed after hearing these words. They felt ashamed for their previous random guesses, and were also moved by Santos's decisiveness. Then they followed and applauded.

Yes, he was right. In the past ten years or so, from the small Chi Army pulled up by Zhao Weihu to the current Chinese Corps of more than 100,000 people fighting alongside the Old Mo official army, they had gone through the most difficult time together. Although they had different skin colors, they were the most reliable friends.

At this moment, Santos stretched out his hand and said again, "Next, please welcome our Commander Su Tianyu to the stage to speak!"

After speaking, in a round of applause, Santos stepped off the main platform.

Su Tianyu exchanged glances with him, then strode onto the main platform, looking at the crowd, and after the applause stopped, he said in a sonorous voice, "I didn't expect that in this occasion today, Commander Santos would deliver such a speech. I am very touched. Just like he said, this is worthy of the test of blood and fire between us! Yes, Dragon City is still suffering from the ruthless war, and that is also my homeland, my hometown. Therefore, our troops will return to aid, even if we shed the last drop of blood, we will swear to defend our sovereignty! Here, I sincerely invite all the generals and soldiers in the Old Mo region to help us, fight with us, and completely drive the invaders of District One back to the inland, to achieve true peace and unity!"

"Hua hua hua..."

After the speech, there was thunderous applause again.

The speeches of the two pushed the already happy atmosphere of the banquet to a new climax.

At the same time, Santos's decision also fully demonstrated his political vision and wisdom.

For politics, once Dragon City is lost, District One will inevitably strengthen its control over the surrounding border lines. With their strong financial and military support, the rebels are likely to make a comeback and once again threaten the peace and stability of the Old Mo region.

Secondly, in terms of economic support, military support, and infrastructure construction, they all need the help of the Hua region. At present, with the capabilities of their government, there is no way to complete these things.

Therefore, Santos's decision is not giving charcoal in the snow, but is expressing his position and actively choosing to fight side by side with the Chinese!

After Su Tianyu came down, the Old Mo officer who had been there before walked up again with a smile on his face and announced loudly, "Let us continue the banquet!"

The band played cheerful music again, and many officers even danced local dances. Everyone talked and laughed again, and the hosts and guests were happy at the banquet.

At the banquet, Su Tianyu drank a lot of wine, and his brain was a little dizzy. But he still said goodbye to Santos and others, because he had to immediately fly to Bana City with Zhao Weihu, Wang Dingyuan, Fei Pingsheng and others to hold talks with An Zecheng, Tan Hengqiang and others to plan Dragon City.

The joy and happiness of the Old Mo region did not belong to the overseas Chinese. They were forced to smile and participate in the banquet!

…

After leaving the venue, Su Tianyu sat in the military vehicle, took the sobering medicine handed over by the company commander of the guard, and drank it down.

"Di ling ling!"

At this moment, the phone rang. Su Tianyu shook his still dizzy head, took out his phone and glanced at it, and found that it was Yu Mingyuan's call. He was immediately refreshed and answered, "Hey, how's it going on your end?"

In the microphone, Yu Mingyuan said softly, "I'm almost done here..."
