Episode 68 From Crush to Love

Zhu Yourong lay in a clean and comfortable observation fort, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"I'm in love."

With tears on her face, she buried her head in the quilt and whispered to herself.

The weather was clear, the moonlight was shining through the long observation window, and the ground in front of the bed was silvery white. There was a bunk at the other end, and Wei Zijin was huddled in his sleeping bag, not sleeping very well, ready to get up and serve at any time.

Zhu Yourong was suddenly startled, for fear that the self-talk just now would be heard by her in such a quiet night.

However, the observation windows on all sides were only covered with mosquito screens, and the insects and frogs in the fields outside still came in one after another.

Zhu Yourong listened to these sounds of nature, and his heart slowly relaxed. In this kind of background sound between heaven and earth, how can a little of your own heart be heard?

This is the real "sound of nature"...... Zhu Yourong thought that the "natural sound" that the ancients were referring to was the voice of nature itself......

From childhood to adulthood, Zhu Yourong lived under a good education and strict control. She was not only groomed to be a noble princess, but also to be a qualified prince. When other girls of the same age fall in love and pursue their own love, Zhu Yourong has already become a symbol of the Ming Empire. Even during his study in the UK, he frequently entered and exited the British royal family, participated in royal family activities, and became the focus of attention in the UK. In that case, this teenage girl represents the great empire on the other side of the world, and she must be perfect in her conduct, and her every move must be an absolute model.

Two years after returning to China, her status was promoted from a princess to an empress, and it was even more impossible to have her own love. In the past two years, the courtiers also discussed her marriage twice, but because there was no candidate worthy of her in the country at that time, there was no prince or prince of the right age and the right relationship between the two countries in the foreign royal family.

But just this year, a few months ago, Xiang Xiaoqiang, who seemed to fall from the sky, broke into her sight.

Later, it gradually seeped into her heart.

Zhu Yourong couldn't be sure what Xiang Xiaoqiang's attitude was towards him before today. She only knew that she had a crush on Xiang Xiaoqiang. But this kind of crush, because of his identity, the huge gap between himself and him, no matter how strong it is, he dare not say it.

This can't be called love. Because love is two-sided, and this is only called a secret love.

However, at dusk today, Zhu Yourong heard all the words that Xiang Xiaoqiang said loudly to himself under the cover of the sound of artillery and the sound of airplanes.

Zhu Yourong struggled a lot to hold back his tears at that time, and pretended not to hear and made an indifferent expression.

However, from that moment on, she finally heard Xiang Xiaoqiang personally express her love for herself. She understands that she is in love.

However, this kind of love between the Son of Heaven and the courtiers is so secret, how depressing, and how unpredictable. This kind of love, the hope of being able to blossom and bear fruit, is so slim.

Despite this, it also made Zhu Yourong tremble with excitement and swallow tears quietly. This is already very content for Zhu Yourong. The person I have always had a deep crush on, and I accidentally learned that he also had a deep crush on him...... With this great sense of happiness, Zhu Yourong has already regarded it as an additional gift from God.

Maybe in the future, Xiang Xiaoqiang will continue to marry a lot of wives, and he will also marry a certain prince...... But in the memories of the future, it is enough to be happy to have such a secret buried in my heart. At this moment, the two are in love with each other. Not only do they love each other, but they also know that each other loves them like this. …… At this moment, the hearts of the two belong to each other, and it is enough.

Zhu Yourong thought so, and tears welled up again. She gently bit the quilt and took out a handkerchief from under the pillow to wipe her tears. Then he burrowed his head into the bed, exhaled carefully, and cried silently.

……

In the vast fields below the heights, tanks and armored vehicles were parked everywhere. In between, there are countless field tents. The officers and men of the 1st Blue Division and the 1st Red Division were all sleeping heavily. On this day, they were physically tired and nervous, and everyone fell asleep. Not only the soldiers of the Blue Army, but also those "captured" and "killed" of the 1st Red Division were also asleep. Especially those who died in battle, who have been lying in the fields of crops for so long, they are more tired than those who are marching and fighting.

It's better if it's "killed" in the dusk battle, after all, it doesn't lie on the ground for a long time. Because of the rules of the exercise, at seven o'clock in the evening, all the soldiers who were "killed" during the day could get up and withdraw from the exercise. Those soldiers who died at dusk only lay down for an hour or two. But those Red Army soldiers who were "killed" in air raids during the day were not so lucky. Some people were "blown up" in the morning. These unlucky fellows lay in the fields for a day, and it was not until it was dark that they were "carried" back from the place of death by the car of the exercise referee team, and they were ready to follow the special car back to the Nanjing station tomorrow.

Now everyone understands that this exercise is a sure victory for the Blues. Originally, the Blue Army had two divisions and the Red Army had six divisions, and the disparity in strength was so great that most people were not very optimistic about the Blue Army. After all, although everyone knows that the plane is powerful, most people have no idea how powerful it is. It is not even known to what extent air power can affect ground combat.

But at the end of the day, everyone saw it clearly. Originally, the role of the air force was not limited to bombing itself, and was not limited to killing and injuring the enemy by bombing, but more importantly, it was able to control the entire battlefield, disrupt the enemy's march, destroy the enemy's morale, and destroy the enemy's command system, so that the enemy army had lost the idea of winning before it encountered our ground forces.

Now the four divisions of the Red 1st Division, the 2nd Red Division, the 3rd Red Division, and the 6th Red Division have been wiped out by the two divisions of the Blue Army. The original six to two has become two to two. Everyone could see that the Red Army was lost.

Now the 1st Blue Division has two choices, one is to continue westward, enter Nanjing, and reach the victory point of the Blue Army, which can declare the victory of the Blue Army exercise. This is a glorious victory, but it is not brilliant, because there is no complete victory. There were still two divisions of the Red Army left in the east that were not eliminated. Theoretically, the Red Army was equal in strength to the Blue Army.

The second option is that the Blue 1st Division turn around and go east, join forces with the Blue 2nd Division, and eat the Red Fourth Division and the Red 5th Division one by one. It is certain that an armored division and a motorized infantry division combined can easily defeat each of the two infantry divisions. That's a big win. In fact, according to the regulations, the Blues either enter Nanjing and reach the victory point, which is considered a victory; Either the Red Army will be wiped out to a lesser force than itself, and it will be considered a victory. In other words, the Blues only need to eliminate one more Red Army division, and they will win.

Xiang Xiaoqiang, of course, hoped that Rommel would directly attack Nanjing and declare victory. In this way, leaving two divisions for the Red Army will not make the other side lose too ugly. Speaking of which, it can also be explained that the mobility advantage of the Blue Army worked, and they went directly to Nanjing, and the Red Army infantry division wanted to fight, but could not catch up.

But he knew Rommel very well, and Rommel, in the present situation, would definitely turn around and turn eastward, wipe out the remaining two Red Army divisions, and achieve a complete and complete victory.

It's just that in this way, it is difficult to say about his relationship with Tang Yunsheng in the future.

Xiang Xiaoqiang doesn't know much about Tang Yunsheng, and he doesn't know if he is a cautious person.

But anyway. All sides are waiting for the dawn of the next day. All sides are basically sure that the exercise will be over the next day.
