After receiving Zhao Jianzhong's warning, the situation in Ji'an had become extremely critical, most of the troops had fallen into an encirclement without realizing it, and some of the forward troops had even exchanged fire with the enemy.

But as the saying goes: yes is better than nothing. According to the analysis of the situation in Nantang, No. 1 and Zou Gong and others judged that the operation of Xia Fu this time was different from the previous encirclement and suppression, but wanted to completely eliminate the alliance to prevent future troubles.

At this critical juncture, No. 1 resolutely ordered: The main forces of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd detachments should immediately abandon their base areas, and while the enemy's encirclement had not yet been fully formed, the troops would be divided into pieces and dispersed to break through under the cover of the local people and local armed forces. And the headquarters resolutely gave up the holy place in the hearts of thousands of enthusiastic young people in the Xia Kingdom: Ji'an, and evacuated to the hinterland of Cangshan.

However, in this battle, the Xia Mansion came prepared, causing heavy losses to all departments of the Spark Alliance. Even, Zuo Qiu, chief of the operational staff of the general detachment of the alliance, was accidentally shot and died while directing the retreat of the rear organs, and was only 34 years old.

When No. 1 heard the news, he wrote a couplet with great sorrow to send his sorrows: I am loyal and wise. The mountains and rivers are broken and waiting to be cleaned up, and the blood is spilled in the sky? Full of grief and indignation, mourning the true heroes of the nation.

Nantang.

Xia Batian frowned and looked at the battle reports compiled from various departments, his face was slightly ugly.

"Grandma's bear! dispatched more than 1.2 million troops, encircled and suppressed more than 100,000 people, and in the case of a sneak attack, they actually let the Ji'an headquarters slip away, what kind of fucking battle is this? ”

"Commander," Yang Rushan said with a smile, "Although this battle did not fully achieve the expected results, it also really hurt the alliance's vitality. The alliance lost more than 60,000 people this time, and one of the bandit leaders, Zuo Qiu, was killed, which was a big blow to their morale. Moreover, the Ji'an headquarters fled in panic to the hinterland of Cangshan, where there is no grass and no birds pooping, and it may not be long before hunger and disease can fend for themselves. In my opinion, the alliance is no longer a problem. ”

"More than 60,000 people?" Xia Batian smiled coldly and said, "Is there really so many?" The idiots under my command are so happy and good at reporting good news and not bad news, don't you know? ”

Yang Rushan snorted and didn't know what to say.

Xia Batian's face sank: "The wildfire can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows." Order the various clearance troops to expand the results of the battle, let the besieging Ji'an Zhou Yongqing, Xu Dengjian, and Huang Yuanliang continue to pursue and suppress the hinterland of Cangshan, see the village burning, see the grain and grab the grain, and must let these anti-bone boys have no chance to survive and breathe. ”

He clenched his palms and said coldly: "I haven't seen the head of No. 1 and Zou Gong, and I have always been uneasy."

"Yes." Yang Rushan finished his salute and hurriedly walked out of the door.

Pearl Springs.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was overcast and it seemed to rain.

Mo Mengyu and Zhao Jianzhong made an appointment to meet here, and their expressions were a little dignified.

"Secretary Zhao, is there any news from the Ji'an headquarters?" Mo Mengyu's tone was a little urgent.

"Not yet." Zhao Jianzhong shook his head: "I'm afraid the situation is a little bad." ”

"It's all my fault!" He reproached himself bitterly: "I have long found out that the situation in Nantang has changed a lot, but I mistakenly believe that Xiafu's move is aimed at a series of military actions taken by the Snow Country along the northern Jiangsu and Yuanhai routes. As the general person in charge of the underground work in Nantang, I have lost the vigilance I should have, and I have suffered such a great loss to the Alliance, and I am unforgivable. ”

"Secretary Zhao, don't blame yourself too much." Although Mo Mengyu's expression was a little sad, he still comforted him and said: "The Snow Country is pressing forward step by step, and the calls of the whole country to stop the civil war and defend against foreign enemies are rising, and in this case, no one would have thought that Xia Batian would dare to openly defy the world's condemnation to do this unrighteous thing that makes relatives painful and enemies happy."

"Blood debt, it must be paid with blood!" Zhao Jianzhong had tears in his eyes and clenched his palms tightly.

"Definitely!" Mo Mengyu nodded firmly.

The two were silent for a moment.

"By the way, Secretary Zhao, I'm going to Xizhou tomorrow, and it may be delayed for a few days." Mo Mengyu said.

"Xizhou? What to do there? ”

"The Sesame Secrecy Office inadvertently caught a Snow Country spy named Taro Matsumoto. But this person's mouth is extremely strict, he doesn't spit out a word in key places, and the people in the secret department can't pry his mouth open even if they try all kinds of torture. So Zheng Yimin ordered me to go there and find a way to pry his mouth open. ”

"That's right." Zhao Jianzhong bowed slightly: "What is the status of this person in the Snow Country espionage organization in Xizhou?"

"It's not clear. However, according to the analysis of Cao Dahai, director of the Xizhou Confidentiality Department, it can be seen from Matsumoto Taro's conversation that his thinking is very meticulous, and his status should not be low. ”

"Wow!" Zhao Jianzhong's eyes lit up and said, "We still don't know anything about the Snow Countryman's Skynet plan, maybe we can find a breakthrough from him." Comrade Mengyu," his tone was a little more expectant: "You must think of priing open his mouth on this trip, and strive to tear a hole in the snow country's bullshit Skynet from him." ”

"I will." Mo Mengyu nodded in response.

……

Tsu City. At the same time.

Mayu Watanabe was on the phone with Oda Ichiro, and he reported in detail to the other party about the situation of Xiafu's elimination of the Spark Alliance.

"Yo-hee!" Oda Ichiro was overjoyed and said: "It seems that our deterrence has played a great role, making Xia Batian worry about internal and external troubles and the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry."

"Your Excellency," Mayu Watanabe couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and said, "Xia Batian's move just helped us a lot. The Spark Alliance was hit hard by this, and I heard that even Ji'an was lost, and the headquarters fled to the hinterland of Cangshan between the white mountains and black waters, and now I don't know whether I am alive or dead. In my opinion, the number one in the alliance is no more than Erer, and Xia Batian can beat him to the ground and flee in all directions. ”

"Your Excellency, do you think he is too high-minded, I think this person is really vulnerable, and there is nothing to worry about." Watanabe's tone was a little disdainful: "Look, are we speeding up the speed and putting more pressure on Xia Batian to do more abnormal things to help us act in Xia?"

"No," Oda Ichiro shook his head slightly, "I haven't heard the news of the death of Soyuz One with my own ears, and I'm still a little uneasy."

His tone was surprisingly consistent with Xia Batian's.

"Besides, the food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step, if Xia Batian is really forced to be in a hurry, it will be counterproductive. At present, it will take some time for the domestic war to prepare, and the most crucial point is that Europe has stepped in. ”

"Europe? What do they want to do? Mayu Watanabe asked.

"The European Minister of State Belken called Xijing, asking us to stop in moderation and not impulsively trigger the Cangyuan War."

"Europe, this is a dog with a mouse and meddling in things!" Mayu Watanabe said angrily: "They themselves have ill intentions and use despicable means to create chaos in the Soviet Union, and they dare to say such righteous and awe-inspiring words in a grand manner?"

"But their warning still makes His Majesty the Snow Emperor a little jealous, and the strength of Bi Jingou should not be underestimated." Oda Ichiro sighed.

"Then what do you mean by Your Majesty, the Cabinet, and ......the Outer Cabinet?"

Oda Ichiro smiled coldly and said, "The capture of the Xia Kingdom is already on the line, how can it be easy to return to the string!" The Europeans didn't know what benefits they had received from the Xia Kingdom, so they forcibly intervened. But I think that once we start a full-scale war with Xia, the European countries will only talk about it, and they will definitely not dare to send troops. ”

"Because," he said after a pause, "they have an adversary eyeing them."

"Your Excellency, do you mean Su Guo?" Mayu Watanabe was puzzled: "The Soviet Union is still in civil strife now, and it still has the strength to threaten Europe?"

"Absolutely." Oda Ichiro smiled and said, "The tiger is injured, but it is still a ferocious beast. Europe dares to openly send troops to aid Xia, and I think that the Soviet Union will not let go of the opportunity to avenge the revenge. ”

"Do we have a response?"

"Yes." Oda Ichiro had a treacherous smile on his face: "I have made contact with the Soviet Union, and they have agreed that our troops remaining in northern Jiangsu will enter the Soviet Union to help it quell the civil strife as soon as possible, and then we will withdraw from the territory of the Soviet Union and sign a non-aggression pact with it."

"Yo-hee!" Mayu Watanabe said happily: "In this way, with the control of the Soviet Union, Europe will not dare to move even if it wants to." And their warning, naturally, became a joke. ”

"Hehe......" Oda Ichiro smiled coldly: "Watanabe-kun, don't worry, after we conquer the Xia Kingdom and strengthen ourselves, we will settle this account with the European Kingdom." Dare to threaten me with the dignified empire protected by the snow god, they are the old birthday star hanged - impatient to live. ”

"Your Excellency, what is the Empire's plan to ......?" When Mayu Watanabe heard this, he was terrified in his heart and his face was overcast.

"Yes!" Oda Ichiro said proudly: "The goal of the empire is not only to conquer the Xia Kingdom."

His eyes were filled with extreme fanaticism: "Conquer the Xia Kingdom first, and then conquer the Cangyuan Continent step by step, this is our ultimate goal and the real cause of the empire."

"Good!" Mayu Watanabe's brain was hot, and he wrote two lines of poetry:

"The empire is in the present day, and our generation is willing to splash blood."
