The aroma of wine is overflowing, and the light song and dance are light.

Huge crystal chandeliers illuminate the elegant ballroom as if it were daytime. The marble floor, which is neat and shiny, like a mirror that reflects a person's reflection, is spotlessly polished. Exquisite and extravagant decorations and a variety of exquisite artworks decorate the banquet hall.

This drunken banquet hall brought together many powerful people from the upper echelons of the Ming Empire. And, of course, the indispensable ladies. Handsome men and women filled the hall.

These well-dressed men and women are now holding wine glasses or gathering in small groups, whispering and chuckling about topics they care about. Of course, during this time period, everyone's main concern can only be the war ahead.

"This time, Zhang Cheng has done Lord Shoufu a great favor. His brilliant record in Baku helped Shousuke-sama to tide over the crisis temporarily. Our plans are blocked, is there something we need to do? A handsome middle-aged man held a goblet in his hand, and a subtle cold color flashed in his bright eyes, and he looked at several companions around him in a slightly lowered voice.

"What action?" An old man with gray hair, but his hair was meticulously combed, and he was wearing a huge black gemstone ring on his hand, frowning slightly, "Zhang Cheng is not an ordinary person. Not to mention the support of Yang Zhuo and Zhang Yue, he is a masterpiece himself. Not to mention the common interests between him and those arms dealers, he himself is an outstanding soldier. Just look at the battles he fought. When the strength is almost the same, the opponent will be defeated in more than ten days, and his own losses are very weak. Where is this kind of person so easy to start? ”

"Speaking of which." Another middle-aged man with an elegant face and fair skin on the side turned slightly dark, and said in a cold voice, "He Ziqiu, that idiot, we spent so much effort to push him up." It's disappointing to see how he performs! ”

As the main spokesperson of the family consortium in the army, Admiral He Ziqiu has always been a nail they have planted in the army. This time, it was not easy to push him to the position of commander of the main attack direction, but he did not expect that more than ten days had passed, and the huge attack cluster had not even touched the edge of Kazan.

Moreover, because of the disagreement over the use of armored forces, General He Ziqiu had great contradictions with many generals, especially the young Zhuang faction in the army. The family consortium is very worried that He Ziqiu will be jerked off by Zhang Yue if he messes up. Fall.

"I'm still a little bit connected in Japan." The middle-aged man with a handsome face took a sip of the wine from the wine glass, looked around, and quietly lowered his voice, "Trouble him." ”

"This matter has to be considered in the long run." The white-haired old man's eyes were cold, "Your Murong family's interests in Japan, but now is a war period after all, and you can't harm everyone's interests." Now is not the time to do anything. ”

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and when he wanted to say something, a welcome song instantly rang out. Everyone's eyes were on the gate in an instant, and they all knew that the protagonist was coming.

Xu Xuan, who was gorgeously dressed, slowly walked into the banquet hall with Zhang Cheng's arm in a handsome military uniform. The Shousuke couple who walked in front of them deliberately set aside space for them so that Zhang Cheng could enjoy the thunderous applause in the banquet hall.

No matter what you think in your heart, whether you are a person who supports Shousuke or the Saga Foundation. These highly educated elites would never be rude on such occasions.

Although there are many second ancestors who have no eyesight and are easy to be slapped in the face. However, elites from all walks of life who can come here on behalf of one side of the force will never do such a thing. The political arena is poured on the surface, and it will always be harmonious.

Zhang Cheng kept nodding with a chuckle, and responded to everyone with a kind face. Zhang Cheng is not a pure soldier, he wants to do a lot of things, and it is not enough to be a soldier.

Where there are people, there are circles. Even if it shows that it can't be seen, in fact these are all conventional rules. There is no doubt that with Zhang Cheng's identity, wealth, status, and prestige. His current status was naturally one of the top circles in the banquet hall.

Being watched by countless eyes containing various meanings, Zhang Cheng's expression was quite indifferent to everyone. In fact, Zhang Cheng has always hidden a faint sense of superiority in his heart. This is the superiority of a time-traveler from modern time and space over a backward time and space. Even in the Ming Empire, which is in the world.

After a speech, a toast, and a polite greeting. The ball officially began.

Zhang Cheng chatted and greeted many of Lord Shoufu's henchmen under the recommendation of Lord Shoufu, while Xu Xuan brushed his face in the circle of ladies accompanied by Mrs. Shoufu. Zhang Yue's meaning is very simple, that is, to let everyone see that Zhang Cheng is the person he values very much. It is used to cut off the minds of some people. Because Zhang Yue could see that Zhang Cheng, who was not a pure soldier, was not easy to control.

At this time, the whole world was full of flames, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled. And a group of people who can influence the fate of the Ming Empire, the main participating countries, seem to have no sense of the atmosphere of war at all. Singing and dancing, dancing and drinking. This made Zhang Cheng, who had just returned from the bloody and cruel battlefield, feel slightly uncomfortable.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, the host turned his head and nodded to the bandleader on stage. With the sound of cheerful dance music, the handsome men and women on the scene walked into the dance hall one after another.

As the protagonist of this banquet, Zhang Cheng naturally took Xu Xuan's hand and walked into the dance arena and danced. Zhang Cheng is definitely not proficient in dance. And his main focus is on the important things, so he doesn't waste time learning to dance at all. Because, stumbling, it is not surprising to step on Xu Xuan's feet from time to time.

It's just that no matter how bad the dance is, Zhang Cheng can get warm applause. And when he was in the dance hall, Zhang Cheng was always put in the most obvious and central position by the people around him, intentionally or unintentionally. This era is similar to modern time and space in many ways. A lot of times it's the off-the-field factors that really make the difference.

At the end of the song, in the warm applause, Zhang Cheng pulled Xu Xuan out of the dance venue with a slightly red face. Although he has always been cheeky, and his dance partner is still his wife, Zhang Cheng still feels a little embarrassed.

After the dance, the scene quickly entered the link of mutual communication and communication. Men and women began to look for their targets and talked, glass in hand. Zhang Cheng, who is the protagonist of the banquet, is naturally the target of most people, especially after the Shousuke couple left. It's still wartime, but Shousuke-sama has a lot of work to do.

"General." A handsome, well-dressed middle-aged man came to Zhang Cheng with a wine glass, with a warm smile on his face, and raised his glass to signal, "Congratulations on your brilliant achievements in Russia." ”

"Thank you." Zhang Cheng chuckled and nodded, raised his wine glass and took a sip.

"Beautiful lady, I hope to have the honor of dancing with you later." The middle-aged man turned his head to look at Xu Xuan beside Zhang Cheng, and nodded in a proper manner.

Xu Xuan responded with a smile, and after a few words of greeting, he retired and left. Give up space for men to talk.

"My name is Murong Chong, and I am from the Murong family." The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "I'm here to talk to Your Excellency on behalf of the Saga Foundation. Set of friendships. ”

"Hey." Zhang Cheng smiled. This kind of conversation in front of everyone's eyes can naturally only be a set. Set of friendships. However, Zhang Cheng was still a little surprised by the heartiness of the person named Murong Chong in front of him. It's much better to show your attitude without caring than to squirm and pretend to be nothing.

"It's wartime." Although he somewhat admired Murong Chong's straightforwardness, Zhang Cheng said with a calm face, "I think the most important thing now is to win the war, and other things can be solved after defeating the enemy outside." Do you see what I mean? ”

Zhang Cheng has always believed that internal strife can be dealt with after external threats have been resolved. After all, once defeated, it will really be a chicken and egg fight. Look at the desires of those defeated countries in modern time and space history who were tormented by the victorious countries after the war. Immortal. Desire. died, and after many years, he was still a second-class citizen. You can know how cruel it is to lose in a war that weighs on the fortunes of the country. Not to mention the tragic fate of those who were directly involved in the war.

As a pivotal general, Zhang Cheng didn't think that once the Ming Dynasty was defeated, he would be able to have any good end. Your own family, your own wealth, everything you have. Once defeated, it will all be someone else's. This is something that Zhang Cheng cannot tolerate no matter what. No matter who it is, as long as he affects the pace of Da Ming's victory, that Zhang Cheng will definitely do his best to destroy him!

The family consortium can't do it, the Ming Emperor can't do it, and even the Shoufu Lord can't do it! In order to protect their families, in order to protect the Chinese nation. Zhang Cheng is willing to make enemies of anyone.

"General Zhang misunderstood." Murong Chong narrowed his eyes, chuckled and said, "Everyone is their own people, how could they do such a thing at such a time?" ”

Zhang Cheng sneered in his heart, noncommittal to Murong Chong's words. For these guys who value interests, as long as the interests are big enough, what can they count even if they sell the entire country? The greatest advantage of capital is circulation. Wealth can be transferred, which means that rich people can go wherever they want.

"This time, the general is about to go to North Korea, if you need any help, please feel free to speak up." Murong Chong's eyes and words were full of sincerity.

"Hmm." Zhang Cheng nodded, "Then thank you." ”

Looking at Murong Chong's departing back, Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes unnaturally. If the Saga Foundation can believe it, then Zhang Cheng might as well believe that there will be world peace tomorrow. However, Zhang Cheng believed that at least before there was a violent upheaval on the battlefield, or before Shousuke-sama suddenly made some drastic moves. The Maison consortium is basically not going to take a huge risk to do something.

After all, with the beginning of the war, all productive activities stimulated by the war were rapidly resumed. The Maison consortium, which had been hit hard by the economic recession, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. If they hadn't been stimulated to go crazy, then before the end of the war, the power of the Ming Dynasty would still be able to concentrate on dealing with foreign enemies.

After the dinner, Zhang Cheng immediately went to the Korean battlefield and officially took over the task of dealing with the Japanese.

The nightmare of the Japanese is coming. (To be continued.) )
