In the banquet hall, diplomats from the two countries with goblets of different drinks shuttled back and forth in front of the tables full of various delicacies, as if reuniting with long-lost old friends, and chatting happily with the foreign envoys who met for the first time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

To outsiders, the scene in front of him is as relaxed as an ordinary family gathering, full of warmth and happiness.

In reality, however, from the glances they exchanged with their colleagues from time to time and the topic of gunpowder, no one could face what was in front of them with a relaxed attitude.

In other words, I am afraid that it is precisely because of this superficially relaxed atmosphere that people feel the suffocating depression in the venue.

However, even so, not all the attention of everyone present was actually on the venue in front of them, and what really attracted their attention was actually a conference room of no less scale than this one, which was a room away from the banquet hall, because the negotiations there had a profound impact on the diplomatic process and the outcome to some extent, so almost everyone present was paying more or less attention to the movements there.

In the conference room, because both sides have no habit of smoking, the air in the room is quite good, and the two people who have put down their worries in the conference room are completely free from the hypocrisy outside, sitting at both ends of a long table, Esonia and Chu Qing (this is a bionic robot controlled by Smith) looked at the map placed in the center of the table with a serious face, and the map clearly marked the military movements and strategic situation of the Koncadas Empire and the Fifth Empire in red and blue, bringing together the entire huge war on this small map。

"So," said Essonia, standing up and dipping her finger into the red wine in her glass, and then scratching the map, the dark red liquor leaving a clear mark on the map," As long as my order is given, the troops hoarded here can launch a full-scale attack on you, and when they cross this pass, the next thing will be a flat river, and then you who retreat to the city will have no danger to defend, and our troops can take advantage of the situation to gather in the plains, and then divide your cities like cutting veal steaks and break them one by one, not to mention half of the country, even the whole country will be in our pocket!"

"Oh~ Such a plan, don't you think it's too ideal?" Chu Qing also stood up, only to see him take out the pen in his coat and draw on the map with a big stabbing and said, "If the war continues, the only troops you can mobilize in time are here, here, and here, and the armies in other places are either far away and the orders are difficult to convey, or the food supply is insufficient and difficult to pull, and then they will seriously drag down your offensive plan." ”

As he spoke, he smiled a little and then took out a grape from the fruit bowl on the table and put it in his mouth, "And most importantly, judging from the current intelligence, your army, no, it should be said that your whole country is in a serious food crisis, looking at the whole country, except for those big-bellied nobles outside, there are very few people who can really eat well and ensure their combat ability, and with those few troops, it is not too whimsical to want to realize the grand plan you just mentioned?"

Looking at Chu Qing, who had judged the two of them before, she was slightly surprised, but then regained her composure, only to see him shake his head and say with some distress: "Indeed, the problem of food has really caused me a lot of trouble, and my generals often refuse to fight next battles on the grounds of lack of food, otherwise I am afraid that I will have a greater advantage to negotiate with you now." After saying that, his face comparable to that of a peerless beauty suddenly turned into an extremely confident expression, and then he said, "But this seemingly quite difficult problem can also be solved with its practical and consistent combat thinking, and the solution to the food problem is: plunder." ”

"Now what I'm going to do is not a defensive self-defense war, but a counterattack war, that is to say, our main battlefield will be transferred from our own country to other countries, according to the art of war, fighting in other countries is actually against the people, but this is precisely where your loopholes lie, the rapid territorial expansion has made you one of the top two powers in the human race overnight, but at the same time, this has also caused a lot of people to have no sense of belonging to you, and even some remote areas are still rejecting you, of course, you can still rely on violence to force the way of fighting against the wall, Those ordinary people who don't even have a basic sense of combat are definitely not your opponents, but at this time, there are us, the righteous division of this old human empire, has appeared. ”

Confident in his plan, he unreservedly said his combat intentions: "When the time comes, we only need a few teams composed of fighters and magicians to rescue the main grain storage cities, and we will be in the right position of justice.

Yes, almost everything Esonia said was a blow to his soft underbelly, and although it may have been exaggerated, most of it was true, and if things did go the way he said, the already weak defenses would probably be destroyed from the inside before they could see the enemy's main force, and the reinforcements arriving in the rear would have to abandon the cities and retreat to defend other areas, and although the Red Guard soldiers had the utmost courage and loyalty, a defeat might not have worked for them, but the chain reaction of rebellion, infighting, and division would be even more difficult for them to bear。

When the time comes, the destruction of the country will only be instantaneous.

Smith, who was sitting in the office controlling the robot, let out a soft breath, only to see him with his arms propped up on the table and one hand covering his mouth, he could have expected this situation, but he didn't expect it to be so tricky, he put out the cigarette in his other hand that was about to burn out in the mug that had already seen the bottom, and then scratched his hair vigorously.

Is this the only way to do it?

Then, in the conference room, Chu Qing picked up the iron box that had been at his feet, put it on the table, and said while flipping the combination lock on the box: "If this is really the case, it seems that we are probably defeated without a large number of troop reinforcements, but what I want to tell you is that just like you have the unconventional power of magic, we also have our killer weapon." ”

As he spoke, he only heard a click, and after entering the correct password, the box bulleted, "Since you are so well-informed, you must also know about the two 'big explosions' that happened in the country of Montu and the recent occurrence in the Empire of Arthas. ”

Hearing his words, Esonia's face became a little ugly, but he still nodded, for those two huge explosions that were almost devastating, even ordinary people who are well-informed have heard of it, but the officials of the Dead Empire, including the Fifth Empire, China, have claimed to the outside world that it was caused by some hidden duels of foreign masters, and most of the Ten Great Sects were silent or acquiesced to this result, but those who really came into contact with this matter knew that these two explosions that could go down in history were all from the hands of the Fifth Empire。

"And what I want to say now is that we can carry out at least a thousand attacks on such programs, and since the beginning of the war, we have always been committed to minimizing the impact on civilians and the environment, and our research institutes have shown that these attacks will cause irreversible and devastating damage to the natural environment of the attacked area, which can be seen from the large concentration of ordinary people who are inexplicably ill and die quickly, as you should know. ”

Did Essonia almost burst out laughing at what he said, minimizing the impact on civilians and the environment? The forests you burned and the civilians who died of starvation will far exceed the sum of the two explosions, but you can't laugh when you listen to all his words, if it is really as the other party said, once the two sides are in the final case of life and death, the other party is likely to desperately use a large number of destructive weapons that do not know the method and principle of attack, and even if someone survives after thousands of explosions, the Koncadas Empire will not be able to survive in that environment that may kill people, and it is not impossible to say that it is extinct at that time。

"You're crazy!" said Essonia, gritting her teeth.

"Each other, each other. Looking at his appearance, Smith, who was sitting behind the computer, finally sighed a little relaxed, it seemed that he had finally pulled back a game, and then he could use this as a deterrent to negotiate in our favor.

"But ......," Essonia on the screen suddenly said, "If it's the consciousness of fighting for our lives, we're not bad!"

Then Smith's face began to deteriorate from the perspective of sitting in front of the computer, and finally his face became even more pale, and even his breathing seemed to be only gasping cold, only to see him cover his forehead, resist the surprise caused by the information he had just heard, and pick up the phone with a trembling hand.

"Hey, this is Smith, Commander No. 1, please contact the commander immediately for me, that's right, I'm afraid this time, it's going to be a big mess. ”
