At about nine o'clock in the afternoon, Zi Chuanxiu had just finished breakfast, and Di Lin came over.

"How did you sleep last night?" Di Lin said as he patrolled the room, his nose twitching: "No, your room is feminine!" ”

He walked to the pillow, twisted a long hair, and looked at Zi Chuanxiu with a smile: "Huh? ”

Zi Chuanxiu said angrily: "Why don't you change your career to be a police dog?" Yes, there were women who did spend the night here last night. ”

Di Lin had a surprised expression: "I'm not surprised that Ah Xiu left a woman for the night, I am surprised that Ah Xiu actually admitted it so honestly - say, who is it?" ”

"Things are not what you think." Shikawa Shu briefly said the matter once.

After listening to Zichuan Xiu's words, Di Lin said solemnly in the tone of the following conclusion: "Well, yes, she is a good girl." You just let her go? ”

Zi Chuanxiu spread her hands helplessly: "How about not letting her go?" Do I still have to tell her to stay and we'll make up for it? ”

Di Lin looked at Zichuan Xiu very seriously: "Ah Xiu, you are really mature - if it was two years ago, you would definitely keep her down and shout that she would make up for it once!" ”

Shikawa Xiu laughed so loudly that tears flowed from his eyes.

Di Lin's expression became serious: "But there is one thing I haven't known, Ah Xiu, you are so rich!" He raised the envelope in his hand: "From under the cushion of your sofa, see for yourself!" ”

Zi Chuanxiu took it, the envelope was opened, he shook it, and a few red tickets fell into his hand.

When he saw it clearly, his steady hand trembled slightly: four bills of exchange with a denomination of 500,000 amounts, issued by a big bank with a reputation in the imperial capital, and the kind of instant checks that can be taken with the bills.

Looking at Zi Chuanxiu's blank expression, Di Lin knew in his heart: "You don't know? ”

"Well, I'm not big enough to pad my ass with two million." After a pause, he said slowly, "Last night, Ma Chin, the chief of the Senate, came to my place, and after that, everyone was very drunk......

Zi Chuanxiu explained the matter in as much detail as possible, and the Inspector General raised his eyebrows: "Ah Xiu, let me ask you, what are you going to do with this money?" ”

Zi Chuanxiu sighed: "To be honest, I really wanted to put it in my pocket, but since it was unfortunately discovered by you first, the chief inspector, I just handed over the bribe like any high-ranking official of the upright family—or would we split it between the two of us in half?" ”

Di Lin said mockingly: "Ah Xiu, you are really simple!" Do you think this money is so delicious? As for handing it over, it's no wonder that the Ma family doesn't hate you so much that you grit your teeth! ”

"So what? As Ma Qin said, it is very likely that I will take over the position of commander of the Far East in the future, is the commander of the dignified family still afraid of a single merchant? What if they have a few patriarchs? The spear in troubled times is the king of grass, will we still be afraid of taking the abacus in charge of the military? ”

"Ah Xiu, you are too naïve! If this kind of cross-county and cross-provincial heroism were just pure wealth, then they would have been swallowed by others a long time ago! The seats of the Senate are only a small part of their strength exposed on the surface, like the small corner of an iceberg exposed on the surface of the sea. This kind of big landlords and businessmen can eat both black and white, and there are people in political and military circles, and if you talk about the real strength they have, I am afraid that even the general commander and the president will be shocked! ”

Zi Chuanxiu was taken aback, and then smiled: "Exaggerated, right?" If the Ma family is really that powerful, why didn't I know anything about them before? ”

"You didn't know about them before, and that's because you're not at the center of the power yet, not at that level. Now, seeing that you are almost in the Command Office, and you have the ability to influence the family's decisions and policies, they have come forward to contact you. Only when you reach a certain position can you know their power, this is the real strength. These two million are both a temptation and a threat! ”

"How?"

"The person who has the strength to take out two million to deal with you, if you don't know how to raise it, these two million are enough to invite a first-class killer to kill you."

Zichuan Xiu's eyes widened in surprise: "Kill me?" Kill a commander, a high-ranking general of the army? They're not that bold, are they? ”

"Normally, of course, they don't use such extreme means, for family officials, they have always been bribed, but when your existence hinders their survival - or business, and you are unwilling to compromise, this kind of big family has always acted unscrupulously, they are not afraid to take risks.

Eight years ago, the frontier army commanded Yunshanhe to command the Western Frontier Military Region and control the military affairs of the 21st provinces in the west, and the power was not under Yang Minghua later. At that time, organized crime was rampant in the western provinces, and the former Governor General asked the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Military Affairs Department to jointly crack down on it.

General Yun Shanhe carried out this order very actively, and he dispatched troops to carry out a comprehensive sweep and bloody suppression of several of the largest gangs in the western provinces, killing a large number of gang members, and achieving remarkable results. However, he was carried away by the results, and after suppressing the gang, he pointed the finger at several local big families behind the gang, including the Ma family, and refused the huge amount of money from the Ma family's lobbyists.

"Two days later, General Yunshanhe suddenly died in his barracks in the middle of the night, according to the autopsy report, it was 'bleeding from seven orifices, the cause of death is unknown', and until now, it has not even been clarified whether he killed or committed suicide."

The name of General Yunshanhe Zichuan Xiu is known, that is a generation of famous generals of the Zichuan family, when Zichuan Xiu was a teenager, the general's prestige was like the sky, and his prestige was far above Yang Minghua, Fang Jin, Minghui and others. He guarded the Western Frontier Military Region, and together with Ge Yingxing in the Far East, he was called the "East and West Twin Walls" of the Zichuan family.

When the general came to meet the then chief Zichuan Yuanxing, he saw the general himself. In my impression, it was a tall and hearty man, with a stubble beard and a shiny head, and he always liked to pick up his five or six-year-old self and tie it with his beard, throwing himself around in mid-air, looking at his black eyes without blinking, Yun Shanhe said to Zichuan Yuanxing with satisfaction: "The little guy is not bad, and he will become another outstanding military general who gallops on the battlefield in the future!" ”

Decades have passed, and I can't remember what the general looks like, but I remember that he has a man's smell of fragrant tobacco, and that he has really become a general on the battlefield as the general said, but the person who predicted has long since turned into white bones. When the news of the general's death came, he shed tears.

Zi Chuanxiu was shocked: "Didn't you say that General Yun died at the hands of the Liufeng family?" ”

Di Lin shook his head lightly: "This is the confidential history of the family, I only learned about it after I took over the procuratorate, and the cause of death announced to the public only said that it was 'sniped by the sniper of the rogue enemy and unfortunately martyred'!" ”

"Why hasn't this matter been pursued?"

At that time, the chief of the Far Star was very angry and ordered to find out, but before the new commander of the border guards and the prosecutor's office could start to do it, the Liufeng family began the big attack, and the chief of the far star was killed in the imperial capital. It took more than a year for the chief senator to take over, he came to power with the strong support of the senate, and later became entangled with Yang Minghua and needed the support of the senate, and his attitude towards this case has always been very vague, neither saying 'investigation' nor 'no investigation', of course, Inspector General Xiao Long will not be troublesome, and this case has become an unsolved case and has been dragged down. ”

Thinking that the idol he admired since childhood died so inexplicably, Zi Chuanxiu only felt an inexplicable anger in his chest.

If the general hadn't had this accident, it would have been impossible for Liufeng Xishan to pass through the border military region so easily, and his adoptive father would not have died in the imperial capital, and he would not have such a bumpy fate!

"The Ma family." Zi Chuanxiu muttered these two words softly, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ma Wei tried to seduce Zi Chuanning, while Ma Qin co-opted himself for economic hegemony in the Far East. The world is really wonderful, the Ma family, who changed their fate decades ago, now has all kinds of mysterious connections with themselves.

He stared at Di Lin: "What about you?" Big brother, now that you have taken over the prosecutor's office, how are you going to handle this case? ”

Di Lin avoided Zi Chuanxiu's gaze and looked out the window: "There is nothing that is not planned." Although the head of the prosecutor's office has changed, the general director is still the same general director, so of course all policies remain the same. ”

"I see!"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Zichuan Xiu's tone, Di Lin sighed: "Ah Xiu, this situation didn't start today, and it wasn't something we could stop us. Eight years have passed since the case, and the corpses of Commander Yun have turned into dust, and after years of war, few of those witnesses may be alive, and the scene has long been unrecognizable, and there is no way to investigate, let alone convict the Ma family. But as soon as we moved, the Ma family immediately knew that we wanted to attack them—"

Shikawa Xiu interjected: "You can investigate secretly." ”

"Secret investigation?" A sneer hung on the corner of Di Lin's mouth: "How to secret the law?" To investigate this super-powerful man who has private troops and controls the Senate, we must obtain the cooperation of the Commander-in-Chief and the Command. Needless to say, Luo Minghai of the command office, that is my personal nemesis, Shan Shuhui, his predecessor died unexplained, he has been the commander of the border guards for several years, but he can get along with the Ma family so well, you should be able to guess the mystery with your knees. Not to mention our chief grown-up, if necessary, this old fox will not hesitate to abandon us and reach a compromise with the senators. At that time, we will become the target of the Ma family's full revenge! And even if he can be convicted, it will not be easy to deal with the Ma family. It would be easy to kill their parents and a few supervisors, and we could also crush his private army and burn down their estates and residences, but it would not be possible to completely destroy their economic base and underground foundations! They even have a branch in the Liufeng family! This deep-rooted big family, if they can't all be uprooted at once, then their revenge will be very cruel, and it will be a real day of eternal peace! Ah Xiu, I know you are strong in martial arts, but can you stay awake and vigilant day and night? I also know that your guards are quite loyal, but can you guarantee that each of your guards will not be tempted to see the bribes of millions? It only takes one to be bought, and one bought cook is enough for you to die an unknown death! And what about your wife and children? No matter how high your martial arts are, can you protect them every step of the way? As long as there is one negligence and relaxation, it is a lifetime of hatred! ”

The more Di Lin spoke, the more excited he became, and he walked back and forth in the room quickly, as if he was giving a speech in the hall of the Senate: "In the past 20 years, the history of the domestic merits of the family procuratorate is a history of the interaction between the central power and the local powerful between infiltration and counter-infiltration, subversion and anti-subversion. The Public Prosecutor's Office is their natural rival, with the Department of Integrity responsible for investigating those family officials who have been bribed and colluding, and the Political Department dedicated to eradicating and weakening local tycoons who pose a threat to family rule. It is a silent war for generations, bloodless but equally dangerous.

"My predecessors had succeeded in eradicating a few radical small and medium-sized powers, but the power vacuum created was immediately divided up by those big families, and then they fought back, and everything went back to square one. It was only in our generation that the central power won a great victory, and with the threat of the Windlords and the prestige of Stirling, we forced the senators to reduce their private armies, greatly weakening them.

"Since I took over, I have also gotten rid of a few veterans, but they are all unlucky people who have been involved in political struggles, they have broken the rules themselves, and they have no background and background behind them, so those powerful families have acquiesced, but with those really powerful people, I haven't really touched them yet.

"Ah Xiu, you, me and Sterling are all politicians, we can be powerful and brilliant for a while, we can call for wind and rain, and we can dominate the storm, but I have never seen a politician who can prosper for a long time. The majestic Yunshan River died, the loyal and upright Ge Yingxing died, the powerful Yang Minghua collapsed, and the scheming Xiao Long died—politicians are like the water in the river, flowing non-stop, leaving no trace; But a powerful family like the Ma family, although they are inconspicuous, they have been developing silently, like the reef on the riverbank, extremely firm, accumulating wealth from generation to generation, no matter what we change, they can respond to all changes with the same! ”

Di Lin turned his head to look at Zi Chuanxiu, and suddenly smiled: "Look at me, it's far away to talk about it!" ”

Zi Chuanxiu came back to his senses and said with emotion: "No! I've been very helpful today, big brother, you have taught me a lesson. ”

"Ah Xiu, you have been fighting in the Far East all the year round, so you may know less about these sophisticated things! Let's get back to the topic! Di Lin frowned and said, "It's strange! I remember that for those new commanders, the Ma family has always given out congratulatory red envelopes of 500,000 yuan, why is it so generous to you, and you actually give 2 million? ”

Zi Chuanxiu's face became gloomy: "I'm afraid it's because they have some intentions for the Far East!" He took out the petition and showed it to Dillin.

Di Lin's eyes showed a cold light: "Then I'm afraid it's difficult to be good about this matter!" No wonder the Ma family is so enthusiastic about you, they are generous gifts and beauties, and two at a time! It turned out that they were playing this abacus, wanting to take over the most valuable industries in the Far East. ”

Zi Chuanxiu couldn't cry or laugh: "Big brother, don't you always remember the two beauties, okay?" ”

Di Lin stared at the window and said slowly: "Just now I thought they were just trying to curry favor with the new commander and win over another backer in the political circles, but I didn't expect them to have this purpose. Then everything is different! I don't want to take the initiative to commit crimes, but if they try to bully my brother, I won't remain silent! The Far East is a country that Ah Xiu has single-handedly defeated, but they want to use such a small amount of money to insert a kick, and they think very beautifully! You can't let them succeed, if you let them come in with one foot today, the whole person will come in tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you will be squeezed by him and there will be no place for him! ”

Zi Chuanxiu interjected: "I didn't fight the Far East alone, there are thousands of Far Eastern soldiers, officers and soldiers of the Xiuzi Battalion, and those people who have shrunk their clothes and food to support our army, they are the real masters of the Far East, not the nobles who cowered and hid during the war!" ”

Di Lin smiled: "Ah Xiu, you are still so ideal!" He shook his head: "It's all the same anyway, we must not regress!" ”

"Hmm!" With Di Lin's support, Zi Chuanxiu suddenly felt that his spirit was doubled.

This was not only substantially supported by the senior head of the Public Prosecutor's Office, but also spiritually inspired to know that he would no longer be alone, with a determined and trustworthy figure supporting him.

"So, what do we do next? Is it to return the money to them immediately? ”

"The struggle must be tactical, Ah Xiu. If you return all the money to them, it means that you have completely broken with them, but you will need the help of the Senate in many things in the future, and if they do everything with you, then it will be difficult for you to do it; You can't accept all the money, and if you accept it all, it means that you promised them something, and it's also troublesome to be entangled by them. ”

Zi Chuanxiu was confused: "Then, big brother, what do you say?" ”

"Collect a part, 500,000 is enough, and the remaining 1.5 million will be returned to them! The rules for the new commander to make red envelopes are 500,000, and you accept 500,000, which means that I still give you face; Return 1.5 million and say: 'No merit will be punished'. This can be understood in many ways, it can be understood as I don't want to do that thing for you, or it can be understood as the thing you asked me to do is too difficult and takes time; It can be understood as waiting for things to be done before collecting your money - so that there is a buffer. Second, if they ask you directly for the land and minerals of the Far East, you can safely agree to them privately, even if it is okay to sell the whole Far East to them, and it is better to promise several at the same time, let these patriarchs go dog-eat-dog, but you must not sign any contracts and leave any written records. In the future, when you have only overcome this difficulty, you can roll your eyes and say, 'Oh, did I, Lord Axiu, say that?' Didn't you? Are you mistaken? Because there was no written contract, and it was private, they could not produce any evidence, and no one paid any attention to them, even if they screamed loudly. ”

Zi Chuanxiu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, although he was shrewd, but he had always lived in the army, and he didn't know anything about the skills of this kind of officialdom struggle, listening to Di Lin say this, he found that it was really mysterious, like the battlefield, it needed strategy and scheming, and the complexity of its intrigue was no worse than the battlefield strategy!

"But big brother, what if the elders say that the real estate and mining were originally their family's property, that they have ownership, and that they sue us in the Senate in accordance with the legal process and demand that we return them?"

Di Lin laughed: "Ah Xiu, you are still smart and confused for a while!" Can't you see it yet? The original owners of those estates, the Far Eastern aristocracy, had long since declined, and they had no energy or ability to recover them. It is precisely because of this that the Ma family bought the property deed from them at a very low price, and then came forward to negotiate with you, trying to make a profit. In fact, there are not many real industries of the Ma family.

"The last thing we are afraid of is that they will go through the judicial route. Think about it, if you want to accuse you of occupying their property, then you have to ask the original owner to come out, Lord Marquis so-and-so, right? Okay, but this marquis died again in the Far East, and his son transferred the property to our respected chief patriarch of Machin - then there is a big leak to catch!

"All we have to say is: Ladies and gentlemen, since you have come to ask for the return of the property, then ask the owner of the property contract, the Marquis so-and-so, to appear in court! - Ah, did these gentlemen say that the original owner, the Marquis, had died in the Far East? When did you die? What was the cause of death? Homicide? And who killed it? Is there a post-mortem report from the local government department? But there is a death conclusion from the local hospital? Did the killer get caught? - None of this, so how can we believe that the Marquis So-and-so, whom we revere, is really dead?

"What, you said that his son, His Excellency Viscount So-and-so saw with his own eyes that Lord Marquis had really died? Who's that? Is that you? But this gentleman, you claim to be your father's son, but what proof do you have? How do I know if you're really Lord Viscount So-and-so?

"Okay, now let's go ahead with the trial, Lord Viscount, you have brought out a lot of identification documents and other things, although everyone also says that you are really Lord Viscount, but I still have some reservations about your identity: is it possible that those documents are forged and false? This is something we're going to check more rigorously later...... Ask the court to give us another month to examine these documents, possibly two months if time is not enough......

"Well, after half a year of examination, we have finally confirmed that Your Excellency is really Lord Viscount XX, and is also the son of Lord Lord XX - although we still have reservations about whether Lord Lord XX is really dead, and we recommend sending someone to the Far East for a field investigation - now, Your Excellency Viscount, what do you have to say? You want your father's inheritance back from Commander Axiu? But Lord Viscount, although you are the son of the Marquis, how do we know if you are the rightful heir to the Marquis's property? What if the Marquis had another son? - Oh, did you say you don't have siblings? It's hard to say, and it's hard for us to judge based on your words alone, what if the Marquis left behind an unknown illegitimate child? Your inheritance will be in question - we will have to investigate the life of the Marquis, especially the young and beautiful maids around him, to see if there are any historical problems left over there......"

Di Lin said solemnly, when it came to "the time of the historical problems left over", Zi Chuanxiu had already laughed so much that he couldn't stand up straight.

Di Lin has that kind of talent, he can finish a funny joke with a straight face, and when everyone is laughing, he doesn't even move the corners of his mouth.

"What we want is one word: drag! You can rest assured that you will be the king of light in the Far East, as long as you ask a few lawyers to help you talk nonsense in the imperial capital, anyway, after this way, a lawsuit will not be cleared up for ten or eight years. What will be the situation in 10 years, who can say? Even if you figure it out in the end, you lose the lawsuit, so what? The Far East is your territory, without your consent, do the people of the Ma family dare to set foot in the Far East? If they really dare to enter the Far East to take over those industries, I heard that thieves are rampant in the Far East, and the outposts of the demon clan are often active in the Far East, and it is very possible for the Ma family and his party to encounter them in the Far East! At that time, our Commander Ah Xiu had no choice but to make a review to the Commander's Office very sadly, and his attitude must be sincere, saying that he had no way to control and that the law and order was not quiet. ”

"What if the Ma family takes personal revenge on me for this? I'm not afraid of this myself, but I'm afraid of him ...... my loved ones."

Di Lin shook his head: "Don't worry about this. The game has the rules of the game, and generally speaking, for the real generals who hold military power, they rarely dare to mess around. The matter of General Yunshanhe is a very special example, because at that time, the purpose of the general was to eradicate the Ma family, and his existence threatened the foundation of the Ma family's survival. But for the sake of property disputes in the Far East, that's another matter. In jargon, that's business, and there's no need to risk someone's life to make a mortal enmity with you. ”

"The rules of the game? What is that? ”

"Well, this is difficult to explain clearly, you can understand it as a 'rule of conduct' or a tacit agreement that both parties tacitly abide by. For example, now, the Ma family is suing you through a legal judicial process, and you are using a legal judicial process to repay them, and everyone's struggle is within the framework of the law.

"If anyone breaks the rules, such as the Ma family assassinating you or your relatives, then they have stepped into the boundaries allowed by the law, and the struggle has begun to escalate, then you are also not bound by the law, you can send a large number of troops to burn the Ma family's manor and kill the Ma family. This loss is too terrible, and the business in the Far East is not worth the risk of the Ma family.

"Of course, if you do such a thing, your end is almost over. Send an army to deal with the patriarchs of the family, and the patriarchs will definitely not let you go at that time. Therefore, everyone has their own taboos, and the game must be played according to the rules so as not to lose both. ”

Zichuan Xiu nodded understandingly, already sure in his heart.

In the following days, invitations to various banquets and banquets came one after another, and the inviters were all high-ranking family elders, wealthy businessmen, or high-ranking local officials.

The posts are all very polite, saying that they want to get acquainted with heroes like Hidekawa-sama, so please be sure to enjoy it.

It is not surprising that those veterans and businessmen have great wealth, and what they need most is to make strong political power to act as their own umbrella, and people in the military also need political and financial strength to open the way for themselves, which is a kind of political alliance that each takes what he needs, so they have always focused on making friends with those officers with strength and prestige in the military circles.

And a newly rising powerful figure like Zichuan Xiu, who does not belong to any faction, in the eyes of businessmen, it is simply a mountain of gold that can walk!

There is another reason, anyone can see that after such a great achievement, it will be a matter of time before Zichuan Xiu enters the command office. This is the youngest leader of the family, and he is not married, and the thought of having the opportunity to marry this powerful person makes those wealthy businessmen with daughters all have big ideas.

For a while, Zichuan Xiu became the latest star in the social circle of the imperial capital, circling between various banquets and banquets all day long, staggering with those fat-headed officials, and having intimate contact, flirting and laughing with those fair ladies who were dressed in beautiful clothes.

A tall and handsome young quasi-commander, a hero of the war, he is extraordinary, approachable, and humorous, compared to those fat-headed and big-eared rich businessmen, senile veterans and oily-faced playboys, Zichuan Xiu is too dazzling.

He was a man with substance, and those experiences of suffering made him a man's true charm.

Everywhere he went, although he didn't want to attract attention, he would inevitably become the focus of everyone's attention, and for a while, the entire imperial capital didn't know how many of the ladies fell for it, they put aside their reserve and shyness, and squeaked around Zi Chuanxiu's side, pestering him to prevent him from leaving, or followed him to the residence to entangle.

For this kind of behavior of losing family education, the parents who should have come out to stop it have turned a deaf ear, or even worse, someone is encouraging their daughters to do so!

Shikawa Xiu was overwhelmed, but he was cautious, and he kept a modest size when he interacted with the ladies, and did not let that drunken absurdity happen again.

Although he was circling among the flowers, he did not have any scandals and rumors, which in the eyes of outsiders, this is simply a greater miracle than his single-handedly recovery of the Far East!

As a result, his reputation became even greater, and people regarded him as a playboy with a high degree of self-control, clean and self-conscious, amorous but not indecent.

And for this kind of happy life that outsiders seem to have fallen into the flowers, Zichuan Xiu at this time misses the simple life of peeping at the female secretary back then.

Because of the harassment he was being made by people day and night, Shikawa Xiu was so miserable that he had to send additional guards outside his room: two tall orc guards, and ordered them not to let anyone in if a woman wanted to see him.

But even such drastic measures and the ferocity of the orcs could not frighten the ladies who were in flames, and at the end of the day, the two orc guards were too tired to stand it.

They shouted, "Your Highness of Light, this work is too tiring! So many human mothers-in-law are crying and beating and making trouble in front of you, all day long, even if the demon clan is not so hard! ”

As a result, Zichuan Xiu had to send more manpower, and the guards changed from two to sixteen, rotating every four hours, and the security range also changed from the door of the room to the entire floor, and finally to the entire guest house.

The guards were ordered to stand in the way of any woman with flowers in her hand and a look a little intoxicated on her face.

The news spread, but it attracted more curiosity, and the ladies of the imperial capital wanted to know what was so good about that Zichuan Xiu, who actually wanted to use the guards to stop Aimu, and those fledgling little girls sighed: "What a cool man!" I've decided to adore you! ”

This is the psychology of women, like to conform to the herd, curious, blind worship, and rush up, so the beauties are even more flocking, they wait in groups day and night under the hotel where Zichuan Xiu lives, set up tents, and form the "Zichuan Xiu Family Guard", holding big flags and slogans: "Ah Xiu, I love you!" "Ah Xiu Ming! They waited day and night, taking turns on duty, to see him when he went out.

Every morning as soon as the sun comes out, the chorus outside the window begins, and the girls scream in unison: "Axiu Axiu, I love you, just like that mouse loves rice!" "The momentum was amazing.

The other travelers were not willing to be harassed and checked out one after another.

The director of the guest house pulled his face into a bitter melon, but his immediate boss Sterling was an old friend of Zichuan Xiu, and he didn't dare to ask Zichuan Xiu to move out.

If everyday life seems like a legend, every time Shikawa Shu goes out, it's like an adventure.

That kind of scene is really spectacular, the siren sounded for a long time, the high-voltage horn shouted loudly, the slogans were earth-shattering, countless gendarmes and policemen lined up as human shields, and the joint defense line composed of batons, shields, human bodies, and barricades could not stop the surging trend of girls.

In the face of the demon army, the famous general who was not afraid got into the carriage with his head in his arms, chasing Zichuan Xiu's carriage, and countless people screamed and cried: "Ah Xiu, I love you!" ”

Countless sirens and roars were screaming, and the tears of the followers were spilled on the long streets of the imperial capital.

※※※

After more than ten days, the wave of fanaticism gradually passed.

Those star-chasers may have found another target and gradually dispersed, Zi Chuanxiu has only been a few days of clean days, but his mood is still not easy.

After coming back for so many days, the matter about his position has not been determined, he has long been impatient, fortunately, Sterling and Dilin repeatedly comforted him and said don't worry, saying that you have made such a great contribution, it is certain that you will enter the command, but it is not a trivial matter for the family to appoint a commander, and it is necessary to take some time to pave the way.

After explaining it again and again, Zi Chuan Xiu was finally relieved, but he had been thinking about the Far East, worried that the demons would not know when to attack, and how large the troops would be dispatched, and he didn't know if Bai Chuan and Roger could suppress the Far East, and if the demons attacked, they would be able to resist.

Thinking of this, he fidgeted as if he were sitting on a red-hot pot, but because he had not received the family's letter of appointment and aid to the Far East, he could not go back.

Several times he asked to see the chief, and the old fox gave him a haha: "Ah, Ah Xiu, don't worry!" What a young man, in a hurry! It takes time to think about everything! ”

After fidgeting like this for five or six days, I finally got notice.

On this morning, the envoy of the Governor's Mansion informed Ah Xiu: "The meeting will start at seven o'clock in the evening, please arrive on time." He emphatically said, "Please make sure that Hidekawa-sama wears an official military uniform." ”

Zichuan Xiu nodded understandingly, understanding that this was definitely not a regular meeting in the ordinary sense, according to the usual practice, the official military uniform was required for the promotion of officers in the family, and it seemed that the old fox's overall consideration should also have a result.

Overjoyed, he gave the messenger a great reward, and even his own heart ached afterwards.

At about six o'clock in the afternoon, Sterling came to pick up Zichuan Xiu in his carriage.

Zi Chuanxiu was dressed in a straight dark blue military dress, setting off his tall and vigorous figure, the silver epaulettes were burning and shining, his handsome appearance was full of energy, Sterling couldn't help but admire: "Ah Xiu, you are really handsome!" ”

Zichuan Xiu smiled reservedly and replied to Sterling: "Big brother, you too!" ”

Sterling is also dressed in a commanding uniform, dignified and eye-catching, compared to Zichuan Xiu's flying and free temperament, he gives people the feeling of a mature man's spirit, calm, firm, as unshakable as a mountain.

Although it was late autumn, the evening sun was still very poisonous, and it was very hot in the carriage, and I felt uncomfortable sitting in a thick tweed uniform.

Sterling thoughtfully gave him a seat against the window, letting the cool breeze blow on his face, and he felt a little better.

"What is the purpose of today's rally?"

Sterling looked at Zichuan Xiu and said with a smile: "Ah Xiu, you are asking knowingly!" ”

Zichuan Xiu couldn't laugh anymore and looked out the car window.

The carriage is passing through the great river around the city, October is coming to an end, the Vanne River is sparkling, the river exudes the unique fresh smell of the lake, the afterglow of the setting sun has long reflected the unquiet lake, the first star of the early rise is reflected in the red water, lonely flickering, the river is shining red under the setting sun, and the shadow of the carriage is quickly passing across the riverbank.

Sterling smiled and said, "Ah Xiu, the chief likes to hold a meeting at seven o'clock in the evening. A lot of meetings he deliberately set for seven o'clock in the evening, and guess why? ”

"Well, that's a bit hard!" Zichuan Xiu guessed: "Isn't it high work efficiency at this time?" Or is there any security reason? ”

Sterling shook his head and said, "Neither." He lowered his voice: "This is what Li Qing secretly told me after getting married, this is because everyone has already eaten dinner at seven o'clock in the evening, and the chief can save the entertainment expenses for a working meal." ”

Zi Chuanxiu laughed heartily, and Sterling looked at him: "After entering the command office, you are the person next to the chief, and you have to know many things." The personality of our chief was very interesting, he liked to drink, and he was reluctant to pay for good wine, so he often borrowed some premonies to inspect military work, and always came at half past five in the afternoon when he was about to leave work. So our Central Army naturally had to entertain him for dinner. He's the head of the family, a great man! At first, the accompanying officers were in awe of him, and did not dare to toast him casually, and the chief himself was too embarrassed to pour it alone, and seeing that he was suffocated, he had to take his own glass and ask the officers: 'Guess me, can I drink this glass of wine in one go?' ’”

Zichuan Xiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, leaning forward and leaning back with laughter.

He has always had no good impression of Zichuan Shenxing, he is cunning and ruthless, and he is calculating, especially when he stood by and watched Yang Minghua plot against Brother Yingxing, which made Zichuan Xiu hate him to the bone marrow.

But since Zi Chuanxiu was a prince in the Far East, shouldering the fate of tens of millions of people, he began to have the consciousness of being a leader, for the sake of the overall situation, for the health and stability of the society, sometimes it is inevitable to sacrifice some innocent people.

Although he still can't forgive Zichuan Shenxing's behavior, he can gradually understand him, and his dislike for him is decreasing, listening to Sterling's jokes, Zichuan Xiu suddenly has an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Zichuan Shenxing: it turns out that the old fox also has such a human side.

As the carriage pulled into Centre Street, a team of guards came up to check and saw that it was Stirling's car, and they immediately gave way.

Amid the neat and loud commands of the guards with spears, the carriage rolled into the governor's mansion.

As soon as the two jumped out of the carriage, they were confronted by a female officer in a straight uniform, who was Li Qing. She said hello to her husband first, turned to Zichuan Xiu, and smiled: "Lord Axiu?" It's been a long time, but your demeanor is still the same! ”

Zi Chuanxiu smiled and shook hands with her: "Your Excellency Qing, don't laugh at me!" What is the demeanor of a wanted criminal? He thinks Li Qing is very interesting, calling "Ah Xiu" means familiarity, and "adult" means identity, which is both cordial and decent, and she can see the delicacy of her mind from this little thing.

Sterling asked Li Qing, "Chief of the Qing Guard, have all the adults arrived?" ”

Li Qing replied with a smile: "Commander Sterling, all the adults have arrived, including Lord Lin Bing in Valen and Lord Minghui in the west, only the Chief Inspector has not seen him. ”

Although the two of them are husband and wife, in public, the two of them are very formal, and they call each other official positions, which makes Zichuan Xiu find it very interesting.

The two followed Li Qing and strode towards the conference room.

It was the first time that Shikawa had entered the conference room of the Governor's Mansion. There has been a lot of speculation about the conference room of the Governor's Mansion, and it is said that the walls are all inlaid with precious stones and night pearls, the floor is paved with gold, and the ceiling is full of crystal chandeliers - the outside is so coaxing, as a result, Zi Chuanxiu was disappointed at first sight, it is not as good as the conference room of the Command Office!

The conference room was about thirty paces long and twelve paces wide, and the décor of the room was not luxurious compared to the power of its owner, almost no ornamentation, with a dark green marble floor and a long conference table taking up most of the space.

On the front wall hangs the portrait of the founder of the family, Zi Chuanyun, and the majestic old man with long hair and shawl is sternly looking down on how his unworthy descendants inherit his hegemony at all times, as if he will jump down from the painting and beat them at any moment, which puts a lot of pressure on the senior family officials attending the meeting.

As soon as he walked into this room, Shikawa Shu felt a smell, the smell of power. This room is a veritable brain and heart of the Empire, and the few people here will dictate to the 130 million subjects of the Zichuan family, deciding their fate of life and death.

Walking into the room, everyone was watching the two of them.

Stirling smiled at the crowd with poise and sat naturally in an empty seat next to Goshen.

Zi Chuanxiu looked around and left, there was a vacant seat between Minghui and Lin Bing at the conference table, and he walked over and sat down.

Minghui and Lin Bing next to him both nodded and smiled at him, he also nodded and smiled in return, and looked around, in the center of the head of the conference table, Zichuan Shenxing was sitting there.

The first spot on his left hand was vacant, presumably reserved for Dirin.

Luo Minghai, the leader of the president, sat in the first position on his right, and on the left and right sides of the following were the chief of staff Ge Shan, the commander of the border guards Ming Hui, the commander of the Valen Fortress Lin Bing, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Pigu——

And Zi Chuanning.

Unprepared to see Zi Chuanning, he was like a lightning strike, his eyes were glued to her fair face, and he couldn't take it off anymore.

I haven't seen her for half a year, Zi Chuanning has grown taller, her usual long hair of the shawl has been tied up, and it is naturally tied into a ponytail, and the long eyebrows and eyelashes can be seen hanging gently from the side, the fair and handsome melon seed face is flawless, and a navy blue senior civil official uniform further sets off her slender figure, and her waist is straight.

In a conference almost entirely made up of military and politicians, her beauty was as striking as a flower on the green meadows.

The person is still the same person, and the appearance is still the same as the original, but Zichuan Xiu always feels that compared to the last time she parted, she showed a different temperament, and now she has an indescribable taste, more charming, and charming.

But Zi Chuanxiu couldn't say that feeling concretely, she was gesturing and whispering with the Goshan commander next to her, her slender fingers slightly cocked, elegant and sensitive, and her expression was calm.

At this moment, Zi Chuanning turned his head, and the eyes of the two happened to meet in the air, he looked at her, she looked at him, and in an instant, time froze.

Through the wide conference table, they stared silently, at this moment, all words and explanations were superfluous, in the eyes staring at each other, what a wealth of feelings, those eyes burning with the flame of love had made everything too clear.

At this time, all the voices disappeared, the chief did not exist, the high-ranking officials gathered did not exist, the family did not exist, and in the long crowd, he only saw her, and she only saw him.

"Sorry, I'm late." There was a voice at the door, and at the moment when the clock was about to point to seven, Di Lin hurried into the conference room.

Zi Chuan Ning glanced at him, and his eyes were aimed at the door, and Zi Chuan Xiu immediately understood what she meant: I will wait for you at the door after the meeting.

He nodded slightly, Zichuan Ning smiled, and then turned his head and spoke softly to Goshan, in a gentle tone, as if nothing had happened.

Looking at her steadily, Zi Chuanxiu felt extremely pleasing to the eye, and a warm feeling in his heart was flowing quietly.

Staring at the white face of his beloved girl, unconsciously, the corners of his eyes were already moist. How many tribulations, fierce battles, only to wait for the moment of reunion now, he left all the unhappy past and pain behind, and all he saw in his eyes was Zi Chuanning's beautiful face, and he felt great happiness.

"Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu!"

"Ahh Like a sleepwalker suddenly being woken up, Shikawa Shu sat up straight suddenly, realizing that it was a meeting of the Command.

Next to him, Minghui looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Are you okay?" I've called you so many times. ”

"Ah, it's fine. Do you have something to tell you? ”

"It's nothing important, I just want to talk to Ah Xiu casually. Life in the Far East is hard, right? ”

"Ah, yes, the conditions in the Far East are not as good as those in the mainland of the family......" Zi Chuan Xiu casually dealt with Minghui, lamenting that girls are born with the talent of actors, Zi Chuan Ning was able to change his emotions so quickly, as if he had nothing to do and talked to the people next to him, but he couldn't break free from the thrilling moment just now, so that he couldn't hear the greeting of the commander Minghui next to him.

While talking with Commander Minghui, Zi Chuan Xiu's eyes were always staring at the other side, and he was paying attention to Zi Chuan Ning's smile.

Today, she no longer has the innocence and childishness of her girlhood, nor is she too much hesitant and sentimental, she is heroic, sophisticated, agile, and confident, the little girl who always holds the corner of her clothes and cries and shouts "Brother Axiu", has now grown up and is about to prepare to master the entire Zichuan family.

Thinking of this, an indescribable feeling flooded in his heart, like joy and sorrow, indescribable.

"Giggle." Zichuan Shenxing tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the low humming in the room immediately stopped.

"Everyone is here. So, let's get started! He raised his head and looked at everyone with a smile: "Recently, the situation of our family is gratifying!" The good news continued to come, on the Western Front, Minghui led the thwarted the attack of the Flowing Wind General Tyenke, and eliminated thousands of Flowing Wind Family bandits; On the Eastern Front, our deputy commander Zichuan Xiu made a great achievement, he connected dozens of cities in the Far East, eliminated the Demon Clan's Lu Di Legion and Rus Legion, expelled the Ling Buxu Legion, and recovered the entire territory of the Far East. I suggest that we all stand and applaud General Axiu's heroic exploits! He washed away the shame of our defeat in 780 years and won glory for our family! ”

The congregation stood and applauded in unison.

Zi Chuanxiu hurriedly got up and said a few words modestly, and said: "It all depends on the prestige of the commander-in-chief, the bravery of the soldiers, my personal role is very small, the victory belongs to His Royal Highness the commander-in-chief, and belongs to the soldiers of the three armies who fought bravely, I am just lucky!" ”

This is also the same cliché, every commended general said so, but it is not very suitable for Zichuan Xiu.

"The Commander-in-Chief's Weide" not only did not protect Zichuan Xiu, but Zichuan Sanxing also deprived Zichuan Xiu of his military position and surname, and was wanted all over the world.

Now, as if none of this had happened, everyone gathered together happily and sang in unison the Elder Grace and Majesty.

Zichuan Shenxing said: "Of course, although the leader of Xiuchuan is indifferent to fame and fortune, the family will not treat the heroes badly!" I have reached an agreement with the Senate to promote Ah Xiu to the rank of commander - Ah Xiu, I remember that you are only twenty-two years old this year? Raheem Sterling was the youngest of us to be in the Command, and he was twenty-three when he joined the Command, right? ”

Sterling smiled and nodded: "Your Highness's memory is very remarkable!" ”

Zichuan Sanxing smiled and continued: "At the age of twenty-two, he was promoted to commander because of his military exploits, and he has never been in the history of the family!" Ah Xiu, you have set another record! ”

He beckoned, and Luo Minghai silently took out a small black box from his pocket and gently placed it in front of Zi Chuanxiu.

Looking at his reluctant expression, people who don't know still think that the president is receiving a death pension.

Zi Chuan Xiu gently opened the box, and a pair of gold star epaulettes and a pair of collar badges with golden laurel leaves appeared in front of him, as well as a first-class Yarime Battle Meritorious Service Medal.

This is the sign of the family leader, the commander is the highest position of the family soldiers, and the dazzling gold star pushes a commander to a considerable height, showing that this person has matured in military and politics after years of hard work, and has rich experience.

Every soldier who has been awarded the Golden Star of Domination will no longer be a mere soldier, he will be extraordinary, privileged, respected and obeyed by the people and the army, and will be qualified to participate intimately in the major decisions that determine the fate of the family.

Looking at the pair of epaulettes and collar badges, Zi Chuanxiu was full of emotion, how much did he pay in order to get to this point today?

He was thinking about it, and Zichuan Sanxing said with a smile: "In the past, I have always been the one who awarded the new commander, but today I want to do something different, and the next chief will award the medal to Ah Xiu." Everyone said, okay? ”

The leaders attending the meeting responded in unison, most of them knew the emotional story between Zi Chuan Ning and Zi Chuan Xiu, and now, seeing that after many twists and turns, the hero was wronged, and the lovers finally became married, this beautiful scene even those high-ranking officials who had been through the wind and frost for a long time were deeply moved.

People looked at Zi Chuan Xiu with a smile, and then at Zi Chuan Ning, with kindness and blessings in their eyes.

Zichuan Ning Tingting stood up and walked in front of Zichuan Xiu, the two looked at each other, and each other was a little embarrassed.

Zi Chuan Ning lowered her head shyly, and when she raised her head, a faint flush appeared on her face, and she didn't dare to look at Zi Chuan Xiu's eyes, looking at the side embarrassedly.

She frowned slightly, as if she was recalling what she should have said at this time, and her voice trembled slightly: "Well, Commander Xiuchuan, congratulations!" Your exploits and achievements have brought you honor and pride, and we are proud of you! We need you to join us, and we hope you can be a part of us, we will never be separated! ”

This is what the second-generation head of the family, Zichuan Xing, said when he awarded the famous general "God of War" Yarime in the history of the Zichuan family, and later became the standard answer when the family leader was promoted.

It was the first time for Zi Chuanning to bestow a medal on someone, and she was nervous that she even missed a sentence of "loyalty should be rewarded", but looking at everyone's smiling and groaning looks, no one felt that there was anything wrong.

Zichuan Xiu was funny in her heart, but she was very serious on the surface. He stood up straight and saluted Zi Chuanning solemnly: "I firmly believe that our cause will last forever." Long live Shikawa! Willing to serve the family! ”

So the standard answer ended, and Zi Chuanning opened the box on the table and took out the collar flower and epaulettes.

Because Zichuan Xiu was much taller than her, she had to stand on tiptoe to help him put it on, so her whole body seemed to be lying on Zichuan Xiu's body, and her long hair was scattered on Zichuan Xiu's shoulders.

Zi Chuan Xiu could clearly smell the intoxicating fragrance of her hair and the warmth of her breath, his body instantly stiffened, and when Zi Chuan Ning finished awarding the medal, his whole talent was relieved.

Tilting his head sideways to examine the collar flower he had put on with his own hands, Zi Chuanning carefully straightened the collar flower. She raised her head to look at Zichuan Xiu, the two looked at each other and smiled, warm and infinite, and applause rang out all around.

After the award ceremony was completed, Commander Minghui, who was sitting next to Zichuan Xiu, was the first to shake hands with Zichuan Xiu with a smile: "Congratulations, Commander Axiu!" I knew you were going to have such a day four years ago, but I didn't expect you to be so fast! I don't know how happy I am if my old buddy Fang Jin can see you today with his own eyes! He is the most proud of your disciple! What a young man! ”

Holding his hand, Zi Chuanxiu said with emotion: "Lord Minghui, you and Lord Fang Jin's cultivation of me, I will never forget." ”

He thought that the first time he saw Minghui was at the headquarters meeting four years ago, and compared to that meeting, many people were no longer there: Commander Fang Jin, Commander Ge Yingxing, Commander Lei Xun, and President Yang Minghua.

Some of these people are like loving fathers and elder brothers, who care for their predecessors and are the true loyal pillars of the family, while others are insidious and murderous enemies, implicitly rebellious careerists, but whether they are loyal or treacherous, the tide of the times is rolling forward, and they treat everyone equally in the face of death.

At the beginning, in his eyes, Commander Fang Jin and Commander Ge Yingxing were such outstanding figures, they were simply flawless models, exuding dazzling golden light all over their bodies, how could they have imagined that they would finally sit in this position like the Commander Ge Yingxing who admired them back then, and be on an equal footing with them.

What a difficult journey I have experienced, how many ups and downs and ups and downs, people will die, but the struggle for power will continue forever, among the people here, who will be their enemies and who will be their friends?

Next, Sterling and Dilin also came to congratulate, everyone is their own people, naturally there is no need for hypocrisy and politeness, a look in the eyes, a smile at the corner of the mouth, the meaning of concern is fully revealed.

Next, Luo Minghai, Ge Shan, Pi Gu, Lin Bing and others also came to congratulate, these are the people who need to be dealt with, although some people can't become friends, but at least don't become enemies.

This truth is that even Luo Minghai understands it, and his black face is rarely smiling without smiling: "Commander Ah Xiu is making rapid progress!" Congratulations on getting here so quickly. ”

Zichuan Xiu smiled and said, "In the future, it will depend on you to cultivate more!" ”

In contrast, Lin Bing's congratulations were the most sincere: "Ah Xiu, you have today's achievements, he will be very happy if he has a spirit in the sky." Congratulations! ”

Facing Lin Bing, his old boss, Zi Chuanxiu was extraordinarily respectful, and he said softly: "Lord Ge Yingxing is my benefactor, and he is my role model, without him, I would not be where I am today." Lord Lin, you are my senior, and you will continue to give me guidance in the future! ”

When shaking hands, he shook Lin Bing's petite hand extremely hard, and the time was extraordinarily long, showing that "we are both from the Far East circle, and the relationship is unusual", which made Zi Chuanning next to him want to come over and kill people.

After a pleasantry and congratulations, the commanders returned to their positions, and Shikawa Shenxing coughed lightly, indicating that he was going to continue talking.

"The award of Commander Shikawa Shu is the first item on the agenda of our meeting today, and the next thing is the highlight of our meeting. Sterling, give us a report on our upcoming Dragoon campaign. ”

Sterling stood up in response, took out a stack of documents from his leather bag, and distributed them to everyone, and Zichuan Xiu also got a copy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please note that the documents just sent are top secret, and each document is numbered, and must be handed in before leaving this conference room."

Zichuan Xiu turned the first page of the document, and sure enough, he found a small red ink number in the lower right corner: "7—Commander of Zichuan Xiu".

He sank in his heart, knowing that this was a counter-espionage measure to prevent leakage, firstly, to prevent some commanders from taking advantage of the chaos when they went out and did not hand in the documents, everyone was a high-powered figure, and it was difficult to track down, and now with this number, it was very clear who did not hand it in; Second, he can be sure that there must be some subtle inconsistency between other people's documents and his, or the date of the campaign, or a key troop concentration, or the name of a certain commander-in-chief, and each person's documents will be different, so that once there is a traitor or a spy among the participants—this is very unlikely, but it does exist—the counterintelligence department can reverse track down the leaked information, and it will be clear which one is a traitor.

It stands to reason that the people who can attend the meeting are all people at or above the level of family leader and can be absolutely trusted, and the importance of this document can be seen that such careful precautions should be taken at such a meeting.

"Operational codename: 'Dragoons'. The objectives of the first phase of the campaign: to seize the defensive positions on the first line of Black Mountain, Blue City, and Xi Bingcheng on the Western Front, to seize the defensive positions in the Delta of the Liufengjia, to annihilate the 50 to 80 wings of the Liufengjia National Defense Army and the main force of the Liufengjia Crusaders, and to destroy the eastern defense line of the Liufengjia.

"The operation is expected to dispatch the border guards, the Central Army, the Black Flag Army, the Reserve Corps, and the Naval Army of Duolun Lake, a total of 108 divisions and regiments, including 18 light cavalry divisions, 5 heavy cavalry divisions, 85 infantry divisions, and the naval fleet of Duolun Lake, with a total of 920,000 sailors, infantry, and cavalry, excluding logistics and baggage personnel. The offensive assault direction will be divided into the following three clusters: Southern Group, with a total strength of 330,000 troops; the Northern Group, with 290,000 troops; The flank assault group, with a strength of 400,000 men.

"The Northern Group will launch the first wave of attacks, launching a large-scale feint attack on the Xibing City area on the left flank of the enemy's front, attracting the attention of the enemy army and attracting the second-line reserves of Liufeng to come and reinforce them. If necessary, the northern group can switch to local defense, consolidate the occupied positions, cut off the connection between Xi Bingcheng and the middle section of the enemy's defense line and the right flank, and cut off the road between Xi Bingcheng and Blue City, so that the enemy cannot move his troops freely.

"Within four days of the attack of the North Road Group, the South Group will break through from the right flank of the enemy's defensive line: the Gatun area and the Montenegro area, be sure to break through the border fortifications in the Black Mountain area, divide the main force of the 28th Army Corps of the Liufeng Family's defense, and quickly advance to the Blue City, be sure to take the Blue City within two weeks, and create an opportunity for the assault group to invest fast cavalry to encircle and annihilate the enemy's 28th Army Corps, in addition, the South Road Army will also be responsible for eliminating the living forces of the Liufeng Family entrenched in the Gaton area and clearing the rear of our army, It will facilitate the follow-up of our follow-up troops and the reinforcement of food and grass. ”

The entire conference room was silent, except for Sterling's deep voice, which echoed in shock.

Dispatching millions of troops to fight is undoubtedly a big gamble related to the life and death of the Zichuan family.

At this time, Di Lin interjected at the right time: "I'm sorry, I interjected, before the large group, our advance force will be dispatched first. The intelligence unit of the Public Prosecutor's Office will send 8,000 intelligence officers and agents to infiltrate the hinterland of the Rogue defense line before the war begins. They will be divided into hundreds of squads, dressed in the uniforms of the Rogue army and police, and tasked with a variety of tasks: assassinating lone enemy officers and liaison soldiers, creating fires and chaos in enemy cities, spreading rumors, attacking enemy headquarters, assassinating enemy army commanders, occupying weakly defended small cities and communication arteries, directing the way for our attacking forces, paralyzing enemy command networks and armies, and causing chaos - thank you, Commander Stirling, please continue. ”

Sterling nodded and cleared his throat: "The General Staff estimates that the first and second waves of attacks on our army have long been expected, she is likely to have set up various battle plans in emergency situations, her troops can maintain order even if they are surrounded and divided, and the worst of separate battles, although our army has the advantage in strength, but to let the enemy collapse - the Crusaders are the most elite troops of the Winddrifters, and we are afraid that we will have to go through a hard battle." In order to achieve a quick victory, the third wave of attacks is quite necessary, and it is also the most central and crucial step in the entire dragoon plan, and the success of the whole battle will depend on the assault group. ”

Raheem Sterling then made a report that was shocking and unforgettable.

In December of this winter, when Lake Duolun begins to freeze, the Danya Military Region, which is stationed adjacent to the southwest Heqiulinjia, will conduct a routine winter exercise that will be on an unprecedented scale to train winter field infantry fighting against the Convection Wind Family.

But unlike in the past, this time it will no longer be a drill, but a real battle. At the same time as the southern and northern groups launched the offensive, at the same time, at the sound of an order, the 31 infantry divisions, eight cavalry divisions, 11 special brigades, and 35 special assault battalions assembled in the Danya Military Region were all set off to break through the Lin family's weak eastern defense line and advance westward.

The ultimate target of the military offensive was not the river hills, but the deep hinterland of the Flowing Wind Family.

The assault group will quickly cross the territory of the Heqiulin family with a field march, enter the hinterland of the Liufeng family with a battle formation, quickly force the Gusang Canal and establish a battle line along the canal line, firmly control both sides of the canal, seize the Bejin ferry port of the Gusang Canal, prevent the Liufeng family from sending new new troops from the deep hinterland to reinforce Liufeng Shuang, and also prevent the remnants of the defeated Liufeng Shuang from escaping into the country, and at the same time condescendingly threaten Yuanjing, so that Yuanjing does not dare to divide troops to help Liufeng Shuang.

Someone let out a soft exclamation, someone widened their eyes, and the conference room suddenly resounded with the sound of buzzing conversation.

This is too unexpected, the line of attack is no longer the usual battle of the northwest defense line, through the unsuspecting neutral Lin family's territory to attack the Liufeng family, through a super big detour, a large number of field cavalry unexpectedly appeared in the suburbs of Yuanjing, this is simply a whimsical idea!

Minghui raised his hand: "Our army is going to pass through the territory of the Lin family, if the Lin family's security department sends troops to interfere, what will it do?" ”

Di Lin replied: "As far as we know, there are only a small number of border guards on the border between the Lin family and our Zichuan family, and the defense line is very lax. Our army should try to avoid conflicts with the Lin family's army, pass quickly from those areas where there are no checkpoints and troops, and at the same time, the army should not pass through the city or the market, try not to alarm the Lin family's army and government, and not plunder in the territory of the Lin family. If all goes well, it will only take a week to cross the Lin family's territory and reach the border of the Liufeng family. ”

"Have you ever considered the local garrison in the interior of the Liufeng Family?"

"Because Heqiu has no intention of expanding externally, the Liufeng family has no heavy troops on its border with Heqiu, and only a few second-line reserve troops that are poorly trained and equipped. It is not difficult to break through with a forced assault with an elite army. ”

"What if we encounter the Lin family's troops on the way and they attack us?"

"It's unlikely. The Lin family adheres to the principle of peaceful development and commercial country-building, and his military strength is not strong, and their army does not dare to take the initiative to provoke our army without receiving an order. At the same time that Heqiu receives the report, our diplomats should immediately and in the most credible way assure the Lin family that the above military action is in no way directed against the Lin family, that we are merely passing through, and that we will compensate for all losses caused to the Lin family's territory by our army's transit. But if the Lin family's army blatantly takes any hostile action against our army, our 400,000 army will not hesitate to turn its guns and go straight to the river hills! ”

Goshen showed a look of disgust: "Our country has not declared war on Riverhill, and it is a scoundrel act to threaten a peaceful country with such despicable means. ”

Sterling's face was a little red, but Dilling was calm: "We value the result rather than the process. In order to put an end to the nearly 200-year-old war on the mainland, it is inevitable to use some extraordinary means. ”
