In the basement under the ruins of the Ministry of National Defense Building, Zhou Botao, Chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense, and Zhao Zeling, Vice Minister of National Defense, sat at the wine table.

In addition to Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling, there was also a lieutenant general of the Air Force of the Ministry of National Defense who also sat at the main table, and the lieutenant general's name was Sun Peng, who was one of the few generals in the Great Qin military who did not belong to the thirteen factions.

Sun Peng is also the first generation of pilots in the Daqin Air Force, although he is only in his forties this year, but in the Daqin Air Force, he can be regarded as a veteran-level figure, this time Sun Peng took the initiative to ask to join the observation group in Yueyang City, hoping to get the technology of individual air defense missiles in Su Yi's hands.

In Sun Peng's opinion, if this kind of individual air defense missile can be placed on the fighter of the Daqin Air Force, then the Daqin Air Force will not be beaten without the power to fight back when facing the Air Force of the Ice Lion Country.

Seeing that the expressions on Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling's faces were a little embarrassed, Sun Peng first picked up his glass and said to Su Yi: "Commander Su, on behalf of the Great Qin Air Force, I, Sun Peng, thank you for the air defense forces under your command, for avenging the dead brothers of our Air Force, and destroying more than 700 fighters of the Ice Lion Air Force in Yueyang City. However, our Daqin Air Force has lost more than 1,000 fighters and hundreds of excellent pilots. ”

In fact, the scale of the Great Qin Air Force is not small, before the invasion of the Ice Lion Country army, it had more than a thousand fighters, but most of these more than 1,000 fighters are a little backward in performance, compared to the several fighters equipped by the Ice Lion Air Force, it can be said that it is not a level of opponent.

In addition, at the beginning of the war, the Air Force of the Ice Lion Country adopted a surprise attack and blew up more than 400 fighters of the Great Qin Air Force on the tarmac of the airport, so since the beginning of the war, the Air Force of the Great Qin Air Force was almost pressed to the ground by the Air Force of the Ice Lion Country.

In the many air battles between the Great Qin Air Force and the Ice Lion Air Force, the Great Qin Air Force only shot down less than thirty fighters of the other side, but the losses of the Great Qin Air Force were more than twenty times that of the other side.

After Sun Peng finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then flashed the empty wine glass at Su Yi.

On Su Yi's side, in addition to himself, Sun Guodong, deputy commander of the city defense, Zhou Jianmin, commander of the provisional First Army, Wu Youliang, commander of the provisional Second Army, and Qian Rongli, commander of the provisional Third Army, also sat at the main table to accompany him.

After Sun Peng drank a glass of wine, Zhou Jianmin, the commander of the provisional First Army, immediately raised his glass, "General Sun, our commander is not strong enough to drink, I will do this cup for the commander!" ”

After Zhou Jianmin finished speaking, he dried up a glass of about three taels of liquor in one sip.

At this time, Su Yi picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "General Sun, I really can't drink enough, but since General Sun toasts, I'm embarrassed if I don't drink at all, so I'll take a big sip with you!" At the same time, he also welcomed Chief of General Staff Zhou and Minister Zhao to Yueyang City to guide the work. ”

After Su Yi also took a sip of liquor, the atmosphere on the wine table eased a lot, and Zhou Botao, chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense, and Zhao Zeling, vice minister of national defense, also picked up their wine glasses and drank a large sip of liquor.

Zhou Botao put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "General Su, don't worry, after eating, Minister Zhao and I will send a telegram to Minister Liu Fuchen, presumably there is no problem in awarding General Su the rank of army general." ”

Su Yi took a bite of food with chopsticks, and then said with a slight smile: "Chief of General Staff Zhou, I just said that I don't care about the rank of army general, and how to deal with the next attack of the Ice Lion Country army is what I am most concerned about." ”

Su Yi took this dish into his mouth, swallowed it, and then said: "Yueyang City, as the capital of our Great Qin State, is also the place where the Ice Lion Kingdom army returned for the first time, it can be said that the Ice Lion Kingdom army will definitely launch a second attack on Yueyang City, we must build Yueyang City into a real military fortress before the Ice Lion Kingdom army launches a second attack on Yueyang City, as long as we can hold Yueyang City, our Great Qin Kingdom may have a chance to turn defeat into victory." ”

Zhao Zeling, vice minister of national defense, immediately said: "It is precisely in consideration of the importance of guarding Yueyang City that the Ministry of National Defense mobilized more than a dozen armies, totaling about 460,000 army troops, to Yueyang City in the situation of tight troops. ”

Before Su Yi could speak, Sun Guodong, deputy commander of Yueyang City's urban defense, said loudly: "Chief of General Staff Zhou, Minister Zhao, our temporary First Army, Provisional Second Army and Provisional Third Army, due to weapons and equipment, the combat methods are not the same as other units of our Great Qin Army, once the troops of those dozen or so armies enter Yueyang City, it is likely to affect the defense plan formulated by our Yueyang City City Defense Command, and the transfer of 460,000 army troops into Yueyang City will definitely bring greater pressure to logistics." ”

After a pause, Sun Guodong continued: "Of course, if the Ministry of National Defense wants to transfer our provisional First Army, Provisional Second Army, and Provisional Third Army out of Yueyang City, and the troops of those dozen or so armies will take over Yueyang City, our three provisional armies are willing to withdraw from Yueyang City immediately. ”

Sun Guodong's words made Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling's brows frown slightly, no matter what plans the Ministry of Defense had for Su Yi and the three provisional armies under Su Yi's command, the premise was that the provisional First Army, the provisional Second Army, and the Provisional Third Army must continue to stay in Yueyang City to resist the second attack of the Ice Lion Army on Yueyang City.

Without these three temporary armies, it would be impossible for Yueyang City to hold it, and once Yueyang City is lost, there will definitely be a series of chain reactions that are unfavorable to the Great Qin State, and the Great Qin State will be one step closer to the death of the country.

Zhou Botao pondered for a while and said to Su Yi: "General Su, our Ministry of Defense does not mean to let the provisional First Army, the Provisional Second Army and the Provisional Third Army withdraw from Yueyang City, and the Ministry of Defense sent more than a dozen armies to support Yueyang City in order to further strengthen the strength of Yueyang City. In addition, it seems that the Ice Lion Kingdom is also preparing to mobilize some more Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Divisions and Garrison Infantry Divisions from within the country to enter our Great Qin Kingdom, and it is very likely that these troops of the Ice Lion Kingdom will also join the second attack on Yueyang City. ”

Su Yi said with a smile: "Chief of General Staff Zhou, the provisional First Army, the Provisional Second Army and the Provisional Third Army are undergoing a new round of army expansion plans, and when the three provisional armies have completed this round of reorganization, each provisional army will have 550,000 people under its jurisdiction, if you count the troops directly under the city defense headquarters, the total strength of our defenders in Yueyang City will be close to 1.7 million, so the dozen or so armies gathered by the Ministry of Defense should be sent to other battlefields!" ”

Su Yi's words made Zhou Botao, Zhao Zeling and Sun Peng, who were sitting at the main table, stunned, and Zhao Zeling even dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground.

"Su ...... General Su, I heard you right, right? Each provisional army has 550,000 people, and the total strength of the defenders of the entire Yueyang City will reach 1.7 million? Zhou Botao asked in disbelief.

Su Yi said very calmly: "Chief of General Staff Zhou, it shouldn't be 1.7 million, there will be a little more than 1.69 million!" ”

Zhao Zeling then asked in shock: "General Su, as far as I know, didn't the Provisional First Army, the Provisional Second Army, and the Provisional Third Army only have 400,000 people left when the Ice Lion Country army retreated?" General Su recruited so many recruits at once, won't it affect the combat effectiveness of the troops? ”

Su Yi shrugged his shoulders and said: "I can't help it, after all, the Ice Lion Country army is a million at every turn, if I don't recruit more recruits, I don't have the confidence to block the Ice Lion Country's army's second attack on Yueyang City, so I recruited some recruits as much as possible in Yuhong County, Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County and Huining County. ”

Zhou Botao secretly complained in his heart: Where is this a bit overstaffed, it has been overstaffed to the point of incredible, you must know that according to the establishment of the Great Qin Army, each army is fully staffed, the strength is about 50,000 people, and the temporary army under Su Yi has 550,000 people, which is equivalent to the eleven armies of the Great Qin Army, which is also too exaggerated.

Zhou Botao coughed slightly and asked Su Yi, "I wonder how General Su solved the problem of weapons and equipment for more than one million recruits?" ”

Before Su Yi could speak, Sun Guodong, deputy commander of the city defense, preemptively said: "Chief of General Staff Zhou, we have captured a large number of weapons and equipment of the Ice Lion Kingdom army in the street battles in Yueyang City, so we dare to recruit more than one million recruits in one go, and are ready to expand the total strength of our Yueyang City defenders to nearly 1.7 million. ”

In fact, the three provisional armies under Su Yi and the troops directly under the Urban Defense Command, in the process of this reorganization, the weapons and equipment they were equipped with were still from the world of the Tang Empire and the Han Kingdom, and Sun Guodong's words were just a cover for the source of the weapons in Su Yi's hands.

Zhou Botao seemed to want to ask about the source of the weapons and equipment in Su Yi's hands again, but Su Yi diverted the topic, "Chief of General Staff Zhou, Minister Zhao, in the next second battle to defend Yueyang City, I, Su Yi, am willing to lead the provisional First Army, the provisional Second Army and the provisional Third Army to continue to hold Yueyang City and resist the army of the Ice Lion Country to the death, but I hope to get some support from the Ministry of Defense." ”

Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling glanced at each other, and then Zhao Zeling asked, "General Su, I don't know in which areas you need the support of the Ministry of Defense?" ”

"First of all, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and also indicate the determination of our Yueyang City defenders to live and die together with Yueyang City, I hope that the Ministry of Defense can send people to escort the families of those generals under my command to Yueyang City, such as the family of the temporary commander of the Third Army Qian Rongli, I hope that Minister Liu Fuchen can send someone to escort Yueyang City as soon as possible, which is very important to our defenders of Yueyang City!"

Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling both understood what Su Yi's request was for, Zhou Botao hesitated for a moment and said: "General Su, in fact, the families of the officers under your command stay in the rear, so that they don't need to take care of the safety of their families, and they can ...... better."

Before Zhou Botao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Su Yi, "Chief of General Staff Zhou, everyone knows the reason why I did this, and this must be done by the Ministry of Defense, otherwise I, Su Yi, led the troops to fight with the army of the Ice Lion Country in Yueyang City, but someone behind me pulled my hind legs and plotted against the army under my command, where can I, Su Yi, fight with the army of the Ice Lion Country with peace of mind!" ”

Next, Su Yi said categorically: "If the Ministry of Defense can't do this, I will lead the three temporary troops under my command to withdraw from Yueyang City in the near future, as for the second Yueyang City defense battle, I can only rely on the Ministry of Defense to send other troops to defend the city." ”

Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling's faces changed slightly, and the threat in Su Yi's words was obvious, and he actually took the departure of Yueyang City with his troops as a bargaining chip to threaten the Ministry of Defense.

Zhao Zeling's tone was much colder and said, "General Su, what do you mean by this?" You must know that even if the First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army are all subordinate to our Great Qin Army! ”

Su Yi put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Minister Zhao, all of us here are people who understand, and you don't have to ask knowingly, anyway, the Ministry of Defense will not send the families of those generals under my command to Yueyang City, I will lead the three temporary troops under my command to leave, and whoever wants to defend Yueyang City will defend it!" ”

Su Yi's anger was right, and Zhao Zeling suddenly wanted to shoot the case, but Zhao Zeling knew that he couldn't be angry at this time, so Zhao Zeling picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, and was immediately choked by the white wine and coughed violently several times, just wanted to pick up the chopsticks and take a bite of the dish, only to find that his chopsticks were still on the ground!

Zhou Botao hesitated for a moment and said, "General Su, Minister Zhao and I will send this request of yours back to Jinzhou City immediately, presumably there should be no problem." ”

Zhou Botao knew very well in his heart that although the thirteen factions of the military were ready to do something in secret to carve up the army under Su Yi, the premise was that the army under Su Yi could not be chaotic, otherwise Yueyang City would not be able to hold it, and now Su Yi was threatening to evacuate Yueyang City, and the various factions of the Ministry of Defense had to agree to Su Yi's request even if they pinched their noses, and Yueyang City could now be said to be the lifeline of the various factions of the Ministry of Defense.

If Yueyang City is captured by the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom, then the impact on the Great Qin State will be great, and if the Great Qin Congress completely loses the hope of winning this war because of the loss of Yueyang City, the thirteen factions of the Great Qin military will have nothing to play, and there will be eggs under the nest!

Su Yi also pinched the attention of the thirteen factions to Yueyang City, so he would unscrupulously put forward conditions to the Ministry of Defense.
