The old man rarely spoke, most of the time he was asking Ye Xiao, and then Ye Xiao replied vigorously - in other words, Ye Xiao actually didn't like to talk so much, especially with the big guys, because every answer had to think twice, and it was very difficult.

But this time it was an exception, maybe it was because of the aura that the old man himself carried, when Ye Xiao answered the inquiry, he always didn't think twice, and even said a lot of his own cognition and various complaints, just like treating the elders, it was a wonderful feeling.

The nine-hour flight passed extremely fast because of the communication with the old man, and when Ye Xiao came back to his senses, the plane had already landed at Longcheng Airport, which was less than 50 kilometers away from Longcheng, and the old man did not report his name before leaving, but just smiled and said goodbye.

After seeing the old man leave in the spaceship, Ye Xiao took a car from the airport and headed for Dragon City.

……

Dragon City, the place where the souls of the imperial soldiers return, is also the most sacred paradise and place of faith for the imperial military, how many soldiers in the death war, the only sustenance, is that the soul can return to the Dragon City, forever protect this country for which they gave their lives!

Looking at the Dragon City in the distance, Ye Xiao suddenly burst into tears!

In the dream, he came to Dragon City more than once, but every time, it was to escort those loyal imperial heroes, and each time he was full of sadness, and the last time he came to Dragon City was when there were still three years before the end of the war in the dream world.

In the dream, as the LRA on the battlefield retreated, Dragon City was getting closer and closer to the front line, and finally, two years before the end of the war, the Japanese Alliance's army came to Dragon City.

What a nightmare!

The faith of the imperial army, the last pure land of the imperial soldiers, the most powerful place of faith, was unexpectedly attacked by the enemy soldiers.

The Japanese Alliance is also crazy, and among the heroic spirits of Dragon City, there are countless people who have also stained their hands with the blood of countless Japanese Alliance soldiers, so they are trying to erase this city, this place of faith, from the world.

Unexpectedly, in the dream, when Ye Xiao was martyred, Dragon City still stood on the empty earth plain, even if it was besieged by more than two million Japanese Alliance troops, Dragon City never fell.

Dragon City Garrison!

The army guarding Dragon City, numbered as the Dragon City Garrison Legion, is a shadow force with almost no news in the imperial army, and its sense of existence is very poor, even Ye Xiao once thought that this army was like the Imperial Flag Guards on the Imperial Square, just a spectacle.

But who would have thought that it was this army, facing the siege of the Japanese alliance army, it was trapped for two years, and even in the end, the Japanese alliance looked at Longcheng in vain.

The invincible Dragon City Garrison!

Ye Xiao hadn't paid attention to it in the dream, but this time, he had to take a good look at this legion no matter what, and observe this invincible legion with an unknown establishment and unknown scale.

When approaching the Dragon City, Ye Xiao chose to get out of the car and worship this place of faith on foot like a believer, the dark city wall is separated by several miles, you can feel its heavy solemnity and majesty, Ye Xiao walked slowly, and all kinds of memories in the dream emerged one by one.

How could the empire be defeated? Why did the empire fail! How could the empire be defeated?

Thinking of the ending in the dream, Ye Xiao's heart couldn't help but hurt, he kept trying to forget everything in the dream, because he firmly believed that the empire was undefeated, but when he was in Dragon City at this moment, the memories that he could hide poured out like a tide.

The empire lost the war - this is the end of the dream.

But when everything started over, Ye Xiao has been working hard to change the ending, he gave almost all the knowledge he remembered about future weapons to the military industrial group in the cheapest way, synthetic operations, and he also handed it over to the empire without reservation, he firmly believed that the empire was undefeated, but when he came to Dragon City, he suddenly thought of the sacrificial heroic spirit.

If you prevent the 303 incident, if you snuff out the fuse of the outbreak of the war, then can you prevent this war that has swept the whole world?

As a soldier, Ye Xiao is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of sacrifice, just as he can choose to be martyred for the imperial hegemony in a dream, he really doesn't care about life and death, but what he cares about is the empire, the empire that gave birth to him and raised him to protect himself!

Is it worth it to gamble on an uncertain future? Is it worth it to bet that an empire will not be defeated and to let this war break out?

Ye Xiao suddenly regretted, why didn't he stop the 303 incident from happening?

When facing the dragon city crossing the city wall of time and space, Ye Xiao actually had doubts about what he had done, and he was shaken by himself!

This is simply the most undesirable situation for him as a soldier, because Ye Xiao is essentially a special soldier with a heart like steel!

But because he lost too many subordinates not long ago, he fell into the scolding of his heart, and now, suddenly facing Long Cheng, he actually fell into a demonic daze.

……

The old man's name is Qin Siwu, and he is the current deputy chief of general staff of the Third Joint Staff and the general of the empire.

After finishing the matter at hand, the old man suddenly asked the guard beside him, "Where is the child now?" ”

The guard knew who the old man was talking about, and hurriedly replied: "Lieutenant Colonel Ye is now on the west side of the city wall, but his situation doesn't seem to be quite right, and his little Hu reported that Lieutenant Colonel Ye has been under the city wall for four hours." ”

The old man sighed and said leisurely: "What a good child, prepare the car, I'll go find him!" ”

"General, it's late at night, you go out now......" The secretary on the side whispered to stop, but the old man waved his hand and signaled the secretary not to say anything, the secretary saw this, so he could only quietly close his mouth, he was curious, who was the person who called the child in the general's mouth.

The two escort cars followed the old man's car out of Dragon City, and when they were less than five hundred meters away from Ye Xiao, who was under the city wall, they were signaled by the old man to stop, and after the vehicle stopped, the old man signaled the guards not to follow, and walked silently towards Ye Xiao.

The old man fought all the way, from a soldier to a general, how rich is his experience? In his communication with Ye Xiao, he keenly noticed that Ye Xiao's state was wrong, and thought of Ye Xiao's half-year long vacation approved by the army and the sacrifice of the 2nd Battalion in the battle, so he naturally understood that there must be something wrong with Ye Xiao's state.

A soldier is also a human being, and the reason why people are called human beings is because of feelings, many words, many things, others can be righteous and awe-inspiring persuasion, commonly known as standing and talking without back pain, but only those who have experienced it can understand the pain in it.

A soldier should be strong - that's a requirement, but if a soldier is supposed to be like this, then why should there be such a requirement?

The old man had experienced this painful loss, and even lost himself - many soldiers who survived the battlefield, especially after an unimaginably cruel battle, when there were only a few survivors in the entire army, those who were not afraid of the enemy's bullets and could die with the enemy with a grin, but most of them ended up with regrettable deaths.

Some people collapse in their dreams, some laugh and look for the fallen heroes, and some end up with a drastic change in personality and become the most unstable factor.

Why?

Because they can't survive the nightmare in their hearts, the tragedies engraved in the depths of their souls, tormenting them day and night.

Ye Xiao is actually in the same situation.

"A soldier deserves to die on the last bullet of the last battle."

Some people think that the person who said this is an officer, because the chances of an officer dying on the battlefield are small, and then they can stand and talk without backache and express their feelings.

But the old man stood in front of Ye Xiao, and after saying this, he commented in a very rude way: "The bastard who thinks so has definitely never experienced war!" ”

The old man drew Ye Xiao's attention back with a few words, but the dead gray in Ye Xiao's eyes was very dazzling.

"Only those who have experienced the war will know that living is actually more bitter than dying, and when a person dies, his soul returns to Dragon City, how good it is! But what about the living? To experience self-blame, guilt, and remorse, you have to live with the hope of the Heroic Spirits, not only for yourself, but also for those Heroic Spirits. ”

"It's hard to live......"

The old man sighed faintly, "I have also thought countless times that it would be nice if it was me who died at that time, but time cannot be turned back." ”

Ye Xiao looked at the old man and said astringently: "I'm so uncomfortable......"

Ye Xiao was really uncomfortable, his subordinates stepped on the battlefield under his own leadership, but in the end, he was alive, and those subordinates were gone-it was a fucking honor for the soul to return to Dragon City, but Ye Xiao would rather bear this honor by himself than let his subordinates all enjoy it.

"General, I know I shouldn't think about it, but I can't control myself, and now I've been wondering, why didn't I stop this war? Without this war, they would not have died, and countless families would not have lost their loved ones......"

Stop the war?

Because the old man's authority was not enough to contact the top secret, he didn't know about the dream that Ye Xiao experienced, but when he heard Ye Xiao say that he could stop the war, the old man couldn't help but think of the top secret that he had never come into contact with.

Many years ago, the Sanlian Staff believed that a shocking war would inevitably break out in the world, and the countries that swept would inevitably be countless, and the reason for this was because of the rise of the empire, behind the empire's growing strength, it would inevitably mean that the empire would break the old order and re-set the rules, but whether it was the Holy See or the Demon Temple, or the Japanese League that was overwhelmed by the empire, who would be willing to lose the existing interests?

The rise of the empire is accompanied by the bloody wind of war all the way, so in order to dominate the world, a war that sweeps the world is naturally indispensable.

War can't be avoided - some order collapses, and it will inevitably be because of war, it's as simple as that.

"No one can prevent the outbreak of war, not even the Führer! Because the wheels of history will drive the outbreak of war! As early as a few decades ago, the Triple Staff believed that a war would break out that would sweep the world," the old man pointed to the distance: "As long as the empire's national power is rising, the outbreak of war is inevitable, unless the empire will decline - I think you may also accept the possibility of the empire's decline, right?" ”

"Child, I know your pain, but for an officer, it's like a cocoon rebirth! Unless you don't want to become a front-line officer, this is a transformation that you can't avoid, but these ...... you have experienced" The old man sighed, sympathizing with Ye Xiao, the back of military honor is always covered with blood and sweat, in the eyes of others, Ye Xiao was hung up with the rank of lieutenant colonel at a young age, but who can know Ye Xiao's dedication?

Recruits on the battlefield become veterans and need to go through the baptism of battle, to put it cruelly: after you have survived a few battles, you are a veteran - but so are officers!

……

To put it mildly, Ye Xiao is haunted by demons this time, his experience is too rich, but in essence, he is always an ideal person, in the dream world, he is a special soldier, even if he later becomes a colonel commander, the troops that can be commanded are small units after all, even if there are battle losses, it is also within the scope of acceptance, he can carry it silently.

But what about this time?

The 2nd battalion, with a total of more than 900 people, lost more than 800 people, and survived dozens of people, just a few dozen people!

Those who died were all brought out by Ye Xiao, but now they are buried in the battlefield and their souls are returning to Dragon City, coupled with the tragedy of the last scene in his dream, he now shakes his belief and begins to doubt himself, once the paranoid man doubts himself, it will be a total denial!

But fortunately, at this critical time, the old man appeared, and he used the inference of the triplet to tell Ye Xiao that war was inevitable - no one could stop it, unless the empire declined.

At the same time, the old man also vaguely told Ye Xiao that the living people not only live for themselves, but also have to bear the lives of the fallen to live.

"Empires cannot decay! The Empire cannot be defeated either! ”

Ye Xiao stood from the dark night until dawn, and when the sun poked its head out of the distant horizon, Ye Xiao suddenly said this to himself.

Yes, the empire cannot be defeated and will not be defeated!

"Brothers, the war has just begun, and our empire will need to go through very, very severe tests before it can continue to dominate the world and dominate the world. We will definitely win this huge war! And you will win very beautifully! ”

Ye Xiao did not shout out the words of solipsism in the heavens and on the earth like an immortal epiphany, this time the sudden transformation was actually inevitable, and finally ended with Ye Xiao strengthening his belief in fighting.

Yes, the war has just begun, he has no right to waste his life, he has no right to squander his time, he not only has to fight for the empire, but also for those brave and sacrificed subordinates, and then as their eyes, to see the new era of hegemony redetermination!

"Dragon City! You will always stand on the earth! ”

Ye Xiao roared loudly, he was actually saying: The empire is undefeated, and Dragon City will never fall.

But no one knew the connotation of this soldier in military uniform, but thought it was funny - Dragon City will definitely stand on the earth forever, you don't need to repeat this, right?
