Originally, the passengers very much hoped to communicate with Ye Xiao and learn about the real battlefield, but to their disappointment, Ye Xiao did not appear in front of the passengers again during the rest of the flight since Ye Xiao entered the rest room of the security personnel.

Ye Xiao doesn't like to be watched by people - this may be due to the influence of dreams, Ye Xiao, who is a special operations soldier in the dream, never exposes himself to the public, and he is ten times more than those heroes who are touted when it comes to meritorious deeds, but he has always refused interviews from all parties and never exposed himself to the public eye.

So he avoided trouble by catching up on sleep.

The plane landed at the southeast airport with a roar, and the wolf warrior's arrangement for Ye Xiao was to let Ye Xiao go home directly, but after getting off the plane, Ye Xiao suddenly wanted to go to Dragon City very much.

Serving in the army, seeing the flag-raising in the Longdu Imperial Square, and going to the Heroic Soul Hall in the center of the Dragon City, is a military career without regrets.

Many soldiers did not achieve this good wish during their service, even though they would be in the Imperial Plaza in the future, and they would be in the Dragon City Heroic Soul Palace, but at that time they had already taken off their military uniforms and were no longer soldiers.

The day after tomorrow is the day of the Heroic Soul Palace's soul summoning, and it is also the day when the 2nd battalion of the dead return to Dragon City, Ye Xiao wants to say goodbye to his subordinates very, very much - it was he who brought these young people to the battlefield, but he didn't take them home after all.

Go to Dragon City!

Ye Xiao almost rushed to the military-exclusive ticket window and bought a ticket to Dragon City - although the ticket was sold out, the Dragon City Soul was about to summon, and there was always a reserved military-exclusive ticket, so Ye Xiao was lucky to buy the last ticket.

After waiting for two hours, Ye Xiao boarded the passenger plane to Longcheng Airport, but saw a few familiar faces among the passengers - on the passenger plane just now, these people were in the last row.

Maybe ordinary people can't smell the strong military breath on their bodies, but Ye Xiao, who is also a soldier, can easily smell the same kind of breath, and it is similar to the breath of the soldiers of the Security Bureau, Ye Xiao in the dream has dealt with the soldiers of the Security Bureau, so he is naturally familiar with this breath.

However, Ye Xiao didn't take the initiative to greet them on the last plane, the one who was protected by the guards must be a member of the military and political system, that old man has a strong military atmosphere, he should be the boss of the military, and he went to greet them in civilian clothes in the past? Ye Xiaocai is not so inflammatory!

But this time, Ye Xiao's seat was in the innermost position in the last row, just passing by the old man, and there was only one seat away from the old man, he could only nod to the old man, or that sentence, Ye Xiao did not have the factor of drilling in his bones, and all the things in the dream were completely in line with his character, and in reality, he couldn't change his nature, and his character determined his fate!

But the old man seemed to be very interested in Ye Xiao, and he actually changed places with the sturdy man next to him with great interest, and sat next to Ye Xiao in the helpless look of the big man, completely ignoring the nervous appearance of the big man next to him.

The guards would be worried about the general's safety, but the old man was not afraid, Ye Xiao's performance completely echoed the image of a loyal imperial soldier, what was he afraid of? As for the reaction that has not yet been completely relaxed when he has just come out of the battlefield, the old man is too familiar, how can he not know all kinds of taboos?

Seeing the old man sitting in front of him, Ye Xiao could only say hello to the old man: "Hello general!" ”

The voice was very low, of course he could see that the old man was deliberately low-key, so he didn't dare to amplify his voice.

The old man was recognized by Ye Xiao, and he didn't feel that it meant anything, he was followed by five inseparable men full of military atmosphere, and his identity was certainly not confidential in the eyes of a discerning person, but Ye Xiao's interesting performance still made the old man feel gratified.

"Which unit?"

"Ye Xiao, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Group Army of the Black Flag Army, greetings to the general."

The old man suddenly turned out to be the Black Flag Army, 2 brigades and 2 battalions? "It turned out to be you," the old man looked at Ye Xiao appreciatively: "The battle of the 32 salient is very tenacious, and there is the shadow of the ancestors of the Black Flag Army. ”

The battle of the 32 salient was naturally noticed by the high-level because of its intensity and performance, and Ye Xiao, as the founder of the synthetic operation and the back-handed man of the Jicheng incident, naturally entered the eyes of the high-level again, so the old man praised Ye Xiao in particular, and then asked suspiciously: "The 2nd battalion should be replenished with soldiers, and now is the period of combat effectiveness integration, why did you go out?" Is there something going on at home? ”

Ye Xiao shook his head, "The brigade commander gave me half a year of leave, so that I can rest for a while." ”

Thinking of the heavy losses of the 2nd Battalion, which was almost the end of the entire battalion, the old man instantly understood Ye Xiao's psychology at this moment. Officers are also human beings and have feelings, and the death of almost all of his subordinates is a blow and destruction to a military commander who personally brought out the whole battalion of soldiers, and those who have no heart and lungs are a minority after all.

"Are you going to Dragon City to send them?" The old man was referring to them, naturally, those sacrificed heroic spirits, and the old man went to Dragon City this time to attend the spiritualist ceremony the day after tomorrow.

Ye Xiao nodded, his mood became heavy, so many subordinates returned to Dragon City, it was not only an honor, but also a bad news for more than eight hundred families!

It was a very heavy topic, and after the old man saw Ye Xiao's gloomy expression, he didn't mention it anymore, but asked Ye Xiaodao: "Lieutenant Colonel, what do you think of this war?" I want to listen to the truth, and not to say the big things that are appropriate for the situation. ”

The war has broken out, and the opinion of the front-line officers on the war The old man also wants to know, and the news received while sitting in the Sixiang building is always filtered layer by layer, and the old man knows this, so he wants to hear the opinion of this heroic commander.

Hearing the old man ask about the topic of war, the guards on the side quietly propped up a noise barrier, a very simple and adaptable portable magic array, which can be used to protect important secrets.

Ye Xiao didn't expect the old man to ask such a topic directly, and after thinking for a while, he sorted out the language and said: "The War Empire will definitely win, but the scale will definitely be extremely grand, and the duration will definitely be very long!" Ten years is not impossible. ”

With the victory of the "Breakthrough Battle" (referring to the battle to break through the defensive line), Ye Xiao saw in the army's publications that some people were very optimistic that the war was very likely to end in a short time, and even the Holy See and the Demon Temple would collapse their ruling system because of the victory of the imperial army - this optimistic view, Ye Xiao scoffed!

The war in the dream lasted for fourteen years, and in the first four years before the Japanese alliance did not declare war on the empire, the imperial army was still invincible on the battlefield, although it took more than two months to break through the permanent defense line, but in the first four years of war, the imperial army had annihilated no less than five million enemy troops!

But the result?

The enemy is fighting more and more!

The foundation of the Holy See and the Demon Temple's rule in the West is too strong, although they have lost more than five million troops in four years, they have not broken their bones, on the contrary, they have become stronger and stronger.

The more you fight, the stronger you get?

That's right! After the outbreak of the war, the Western Continent entered the war control, the Holy See and the Demon Temple were expanding their troops, and the various countries under the jurisdiction of the two major forces were also expanding their troops, and the five million troops were divided equally, which was not as large as the number of their expanded troops, and the direct armies of the Holy See and the Demon Temple only accounted for 20% of the five million.

You know, after the Japanese Alliance declared war on the empire in the dream, the Holy See and the Demon Temple actually organized fourteen legion groups to participate in the war, which is also the fundamental reason why the imperial army was forced to lose the land bridge in the end.

Ye Xiao's statement made the old man's eyes light up, "Tell me your truth!" ”

The old man was elegant, but Ye Xiao was not worried at all, and said reasonably:

"There are 63 countries in the Western Continent, including 24 countries with a population of more than 100 million, 7 countries with a population of more than 200 million, plus the population within the influence of the Holy See and the Demon Temple, the total population exceeds 7 billion, according to the most optimistic estimates, the total number of troops that can be mobilized on the Western Continent is more than 300 million, of course, it is impossible for all these troops to be invested in the land bridge, but even if one-tenth of the troops are invested, there are 30 million."

"And on this side of the land bridge, the total population of the Hundred Races Federation can exceed 200 million, and the total population of the enclaves of the empire is only 50 million, although the empire can continue to transfer troops from the mainland, but the ratio of troops is still very large - I heard that some people are pinning their hopes on the Western countries to subvert the divine power because of the fiasco of the Holy See Demon Temple, I think it is better to pin my hopes on this, it is better to honestly imagine how to achieve victory on the battlefield!"

Ye Xiao said it unceremoniously, but the old man agreed with this view.

How many years has the theocracy ruled the Western Continent? The concept of theocracy is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Western continent, and you want to subvert theocracy by a few victories? Wish for the moon!

When the Führer ordered the war forces, the most optimistic estimate made by the Triple Staff was only that after the Empire had at most gained control of the land bridge, it would defend itself against the enemy on the line connecting the land bridge and the western continent, and then acquiesce in the fact after delaying until the Western forces suffered heavy losses.

The reason is that the population base of the Western Continent is too huge, although the empire can definitely mobilize more than 300 million huge troops, but such a consequence, the empire is absolutely unwilling to bear it until the war of annihilation!

What's more, there is also a Japanese alliance that is eyeing the Japanese alliance - how can the empire itself put most of its elite into the land bridge?

"What about the Japanese League?" The old man asked meaningfully.

Japanese League?

That is the feud of the empire, not to mention the relationship of feud, with the alluring fruit of hegemony alone, once the empire is mired in war with the Western forces, the Japanese alliance will absolutely declare war on the empire with all its strength - this has been fully confirmed in the dream.

"As long as the flames of war in the Empire on the Continental Bridge are not extinguished, the Japanese Alliance may take action against the Empire at any time!" Ye Xiao said resolutely, he simply didn't sign a treaty like the "Sino-Japanese Friendship Agreement" with the Japanese League a few years in advance, if a soldier takes the treaty seriously, then he should take off his military uniform and go home, what is the treaty for? Comply? Wrong!

That's for tearing up!

The facts in the dream are very clear, after the Japanese alliance waited for the empire to fall into tens of millions of troops because of the mudflats of the land bridge, it blatantly declared war on the empire, and teamed up with amethyst to open up four major battlefields, and finally cut off the connection between the land bridge and the eastern continent, so that the land bridge fell into a desperate situation, and finally made the empire lose the land bridge, and cooperated with the western forces to attack the empire in six ways, and in six years, the empire was finally defeated in internal and external difficulties.

Of course, there are many reasons for the defeat of the empire in the dream realm, the enemy of the whole world and the lack of strong allies are on the one hand, and the internal impurity is also the main reason, but what about this life? The Amethyst strategy has been launched, and the army of the Holy Dynasty has also begun to be armed by the imperial army, and the most important point is that the empire will definitely not lose the first hand in the war against Japan!

Synthetic warfare? The imperial army will have hundreds of times more experience than the Japanese Alliance, once the Japanese Alliance declares war on the Empire, hum, see who will kill the deer!

The old man sighed in admiration and asked, "Very sober cognition, do you want to come to the Military Affairs Academy?" ”

As a front-line grassroots commander, the old man was very relieved to have such a sober understanding, so he intended to transfer Ye Xiaolai to the Military Affairs Yuan.

The reason why war is a feast for soldiers is because many talented officers in peacetime must stay up with their qualifications step by step, but in the war years, as long as your talent is enough, it is easy to be promoted by the commanders - if Ye Xiao agrees to the old man's invitation, he doesn't even need to be born and die on the battlefield, he doesn't need to witness the blood of one subordinate after another, he can easily hang up the rank of general before he is forty years old.

Don't feel slow, the rank of the army is pyramidal, officers start from second lieutenant to general, each level of promotion, are distinguished among dozens of people, the lieutenant is good to say, starting from the colonel every step up, it means that you are better than dozens of the best colleagues, is the lieutenant colonel a high rank? From lieutenant colonel to colonel to brigadier general, and then to hang up the rank of general, some people will never be able to touch the side of brigadier general in their lives, let alone hang up the rank of general!

Ye Xiao in the dream realm has experienced a hundred battles and has made countless achievements, but when it comes to the end, he is just a colonel.

But will Ye Xiao leave the battlefield? Apparently not!

"General, I think I'm still suitable to stay in the grassroots army." Ye Xiao refused the old man's invitation, he didn't want to see his subordinates sacrifice, but if he didn't see it, it meant that his subordinates would not sacrifice? Moreover, eighteen years of dreams, fourteen years of war in dreams, and that tragic ending, how could Ye Xiao forget? Since you can't hide, then go and catch up, this is a soldier!

This is the Ye spirit that has been passed down in the Ye bloodline!

The old man looked at Ye Xiao deeply, he didn't believe that Ye Xiao would not know another meaning in his invitation? But Ye Xiao's refusal was so resolute, it was rare.

The guards on the side also gave Ye Xiao a complicated look, it stands to reason that as a guard, he should only listen and not speak, with an expressionless face, but Ye Xiao's refusal made him extremely impressed - this is like a rich man saying that he will be a millionaire in ten years, but he is simply rejected by a poor worker.

The old man didn't get angry, but patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder: "I believe now that you really didn't have any selfishness in Jecheng at the beginning." ”

Ye Xiao was born in the upper echelons of the Ye clan naturally has a good psychology, but to say something ugly, the Ye clan is too huge, and there has never been a habit of cultivating heirs, the resources of the Ye clan are extremely huge, but since Marshal Ip Man, the Ye clan has never invested a lot of resources in a child, so the Ye clan has always been in a transcendent position in the military, otherwise the Ye clan would have been removed from the army on a large scale by the National Assembly.

The only big move of the Ye clan in recent decades is the rescue of Ye Xiao - that can also be regarded as a manifestation of the will of the military, so Ye Xiao's career will inevitably not have the help of the Ye clan, and it is absolutely impossible for the Ye clan to support a certain clan, which is inconsistent with their style of doing things.

If Ye Xiao really had a utilitarian heart, then he would definitely not refuse Ye Xiao's invitation, but Ye Xiao refused very simply, which made the old man very happy - if Ye Xiao did not refuse, the old man would be equally happy, and he was even sure that Ye Xiao would be given the rank of general, but he would definitely not have this kind of heartfelt appreciation.

And now? The old man admired this pure soldier very much, and even moved the idea of marrying his granddaughter to Ye Xiao.

Well, the old man doesn't feel that he needs to use marriage to consolidate his position, in fact, he knows that there is no perfect talent among his children and grandchildren, and after he leaves office, the family will inevitably decline, but the old man who has been in his life has never cared about this?

He just admired Ye Xiao simply, because of the Jicheng incident and because of the bloody battle in the 32nd salient!
