Chapter 723: Excuses

Hearing this, Hinata did not refuse, after all, the new thing of red wine does have a unique characteristic, and for the people of the Fire Country who drink sake all year round, the attraction is still quite great to a certain extent.

Nodding silently, he took another sip of red wine, and then put the wine glass on the table, and saw that Hinata suddenly straightened his face, looked at Lei Luo seriously, and asked:

"The war is about to start, aren't you in a hurry to form the Wehrmacht and the General Staff now?"

"Not so fast, it's still tentative......

Shaking his head slightly, Lei Luo leaned back on the soft sofa, staring at the transparent wine glass in his hand in a trance, while muttering:

"War needs to be clear-sighted, even if the relationship between each other has reached the point where you live and die, you and me, but when will the war officially start......

"Again, it depends on when a reasonable introduction will appear."

"Introduction?"

"The fuse for short."

As he spoke, Lei Luo smiled slightly, and explained unhurriedly:

"Originally, the situation in the Land of Rain was the focus of our contention with Shayin Yanyin, and the open and secret battle between Xiao and Yuyin lasted for several years."

"In my original expectation, the Fire Country will continue to provide manpower and material support, and sooner or later he will be able to defeat Yuyin and become the ruler of the Rain Country, and then he will be able to escort us and Yunyin's troop strategy."

"It's just that Yun Yin has withdrawn from the alliance now, so the pace of Xiao replacing Yu Yin should also be accelerated......"

Spreading his hands, he sighed helplessly, and Lei Luo continued without being salty:

"After all, I don't want to see the united old social forces meddling in the situation in the Land of Rain and messing up our original layout."

"That fuse will be the conflict between Xiao and Yuyin."

"And, it won't be long before it comes."

Giving a simple conclusion, seeing Hinata Huan put on a thoughtful expression, Lei Luo bent down and put the wine glass on the coffee table, his expression a little more serious:

"No matter who wins or loses the war between Akatsuki and Hanzo, as long as the conflict breaks out and the daimyo of each country have an excuse, our Fire Country also has an excuse."

"At that time, it will be the time to form the Wehrmacht and officially send troops."

After getting a clear reply from Lei Luo, the doubts that had been pressing on his heart for a while had dissipated a lot, and Hinata's expression couldn't help but relax a little.

The Minister of Intelligence understood why Relo had made such a decision, after all, excuses, in other words, nominal, were important for war, and especially for the Great War.

At the political level, even if the daimyo wanted to order the ninja village to send troops and mobilize the people to contribute to the war, then at least there must be a name for the righteous division, and the same is true for the prime ministers and parliamentarians of the Fire Nation.

From strategic planning to strategic layout, from winning the hearts of the people to mobilizing ninjas, from collecting taxes to concentrating materials, there are too many links involved, and it is difficult to achieve things without the support of the people.

That's why you need a reason, an excuse.

That is what Lei Luo said, the fuse......

It was used to completely detonate the national mood and detonate the world war.

In the original time and space, the three generations of Kazekage disappeared, and Sand Yin declared war on Konoha, thus detonating the third ninja war, this excuse is very good, even in Lei Luo's opinion, he can't find much fault.

But now, the grave grass of the three generations of Kazekage is almost several feet high, isn't there no war in the ninja world? This is obviously impossible.

At least, neither the daimyo nor Lei Luo can stand each other's existence, and sooner or later, war will come.

There is a fierce contradiction in ideology, even if the shadows of each village don't want to fight, the daimyo will force them to fight, and in the same way, even if the Konoha ninja doesn't like war, Lei Luo will forcibly make them like it.

Both sides are secretly making preparations, alliances that should be formed, and troops that should be trained until an event arises, and there is an excuse to send troops, and it is time for the official start of war.

The reason why the Land of Rain was chosen as the focus of the conflict was that the strategic location of the country was too important, and the dispute between Xiao and Yuyin Village could also be seen as a dispute between the old society and the new society, as well as the dispute between the Land of Fire and the Four Great Powers.

The members of the Akatsuki organization, who have been in contact with the Konoha ninja for a long time and enjoy various benefits and benefits of the Fire Country, as well as leaders such as Yahiko and Konan, are undoubtedly influenced by the capitalist ideology of the Fire Country, and are progressive ninjas and part of the new social forces.

Xiao's position is determined, so no matter what kind of armed conflict Xiao and Yuyin have, no matter whether Xiao can defeat Yuyin and defeat Hanzo, Lei Luo can say this when he speaks:

"Our friends in the Land of Rain, the progressive ninja organization named Akatsuki is being oppressed by the evil feudal Rain Ninjas, in order to help them, in order to bring democracy and freedom to the Land of Rain, so I have decided to start a national military mobilization campaign and send troops to the Land of Rain to announce our existence to the world."

With such a name and such a righteous slogan, the people will undoubtedly be able to support the war with peace of mind and enthusiastically join the Wehrmacht that will be formed at that time to fight together for the great goal of the Fire Nation.

Listening to Lei Luo explain all the plans, Hinata pursed his lips lightly, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a curious tone, "Is Jiraiya in the Land of Rain now?" Anyway, I haven't heard from that guy in a long time. ”

The focus of the next action plan is the country of rain, and Hinata can't help but recall the intelligence information about that country in recent years, and the presence of Jiraiya is the most important thing.

Nominally speaking, Jiraiya belongs to the head of the Xiao organization directly appointed by Lei Luo, and is not under the control of the Ministry of Intelligence, so Hyuga really doesn't know much about the situation on Jiraiya's side, and now asking this question is to be aware of it and deploy it in advance for some subsequent joint operations.

"Although Jiraiya joined Xiao as a consultant, Yahiko and Xiao Nan are basically the only ones who are looking forward to it now, this guy has a bit of a talent for acting, and he has seriously attracted a lot of people from the Land of Rain to join Xiao, and slightly reversed Xiao's reputation in the Land of Rain."

"Today's Xiao, there are about 500 people in the lower ninja and more than 20 people in the upper ninja level, if you add the two stronger upper ninjas in Yahiko Xiaonan, the bright line is from the beginning, and the dark line is at the corner, then Xiao's overall strength is almost not below most small ninja villages."

After a brief introduction to Xiao's situation, Lei Luo paused, and then added: "Xiao occupies the territory of two large towns and three small villages in the Land of Rain, and the mass base can be regarded as slowly accumulating. ”

"And that's enough for us."
