"Time flies so fast, it's been so long in the blink of an eye." In the center of Chang'an, the old marshal was lying at the table, compared with the last appearance, his hair was already gray, and the texture of the years on his skin was more profound, and the heavy state affairs had long been bent over, but those eyes were still clear, "When the cube first came, we all thought that mankind was finished, but now look at it, 13 years have passed, and our civilization is still continuing, endless." ”

"It's not, I was a teenager back then, and now I'm an uncle." In front of the marshal's table, Liu Fusu sat on the seat, as always, the jade tree was in the wind, but he left the stubble of vicissitudes, the whole person looked more stable, he handed a document to the old marshal, and said, "By the way, Generalissimo, this is the resignation application of Zhenbei General Luo Hanlin." ”

The old marshal didn't seem surprised, he took the document and looked at it, the content of the document was not complicated, to the effect that Luo Hanlin applied to step down from the post of general of Zhenbei from today, retreat to the second line, and return to the field.

"Thor, when it was 7 years ago, I fought a bloody battle and retreated from a million insect swarms alone, and now it has been 13 years since I collapsed, and 6 years have passed." The old marshal closed the document and smiled helplessly, "This application is not his own will, right?" ”

"I confirmed with Senior Colonel Dong Xiaotu of the Central Propaganda Department, and her eyeliner reported that a month ago, Admiral Leng Kite and Lieutenant General Luo Hanlin had a secret conversation, the content of which is not known for the time being, but after the secret conversation ended, Luo Hanlin drafted this resignation application." Liu Fusu's eyebrows revealed a slightly solemn look, and he said in a deep voice, "I pondered, it was Leng Kite who forced Luo Hanlin to write this application, and you also know that General Zhenbei is a position of real power, although Luo Hanlin is Leng Kite's subordinate, but after all, he has a heavy army, and once he is in office, Leng Kite will never be able to control the northern border." ”

The old marshal nodded slightly: "What about Luo Hanlin himself?" Have you ever inquired and what you think about this? ”

"I submitted the application, and I must have been forced to agree." Liu Fusu pondered for a while, thinking, "But with his temper, I'm afraid he is very dissatisfied, he is the glory of the republic... Or that I worked hard for the Eagle Banner Army all my life, and in the end it was taken away, I must be uncomfortable, I think I have to find something to do for him, otherwise I am afraid that something will go wrong at home. ”

"The cunning rabbit is a dead lackey cooking, and the girl is still frizzy, and she doesn't care about other people's feelings at all." The old marshal sighed and said lightly, "Transfer Luo Hanlin to Jiangnan, the climate over there is good, he lives comfortably, and is suitable for retirement. ”

Liu Fusu frowned: "What about the northern border?" As soon as Luo Hanlin stepped down, the military power in her hand was taken over by Leng Kite, so she was the rightful master of the northern border. ”

The old marshal shook his head: "I'm not worried about who owns the military power, I'm more worried about the agreement reached between Leng Kite and Novena, she said that she is willing to step down from the post of general after destroying the rebels, and reconcile with the Federation and not invade each other." It's so weird, it's not like her. ”

"I think too! This is not like what Leng Kite would do at all, I thought it was fake news somewhere at first, but I confirmed with Leng Kite that it was true. Liu Fusu seemed to think of something, and his eyes were uncertain, "And Novena submitted this agreement to the Inquisition Council for notarization, there is no way out, if Leng Kite violates the contract, the Republic of the Radiance will be directly sanctioned by the Inquisitioning Council." ”

"I don't understand, I really can't figure it out." The old marshal closed his eyes and let out a sigh, "Forget it, Leng Kite is already 31 years old after this year's birthday, not the little girl back then, she has her own sense of doing things, so I won't ask more." ”

Liu Fusu touched his chin and muttered, "Huh... Time flies so fast, in the first year of the collapse, the day General Leng Luan sacrificed, it happened to be her 18th birthday, in the blink of an eye, it was already 31, and if she was another girl, she would have married and had a baby. ”

"Hahaha, it's all the same, a few of us who are under the sect have dedicated their youth to the country." When the old marshal said this, he sighed, and his eyes revealed a little sorrow, "Speaking of which, it has been 6 years since the teacher was taken to the trial council, and there has been no news, so I don't know how he is doing. ”

Liu Fusu sat up straight: "Speaking of which, after the teacher was placed under house arrest by the trial council, the northern rebels have moved a lot in recent years. Chu Linfeng used that thing called the 'Keystone', and every time the cube exploded and collapsed, he manipulated the fierce beast to jump directly into the sea, almost extincting the fierce beast in the three eastern provinces. I heard that it is now a pure land on earth, and the common people can go out of the city at will, and a large number of wild land belongs to the peasant households, and the rule is deeply popular with the people. ”

"I know that since Keystone's information was made public, the Glory of the Republic has been panicked, stormy, and a large number of people have abandoned their household registration and defected to the rebels in the north." The old marshal smiled helplessly, sighed and said, "Don't say it, many people thought that Chu Linfeng was a fool and a sour Confucian, but he really did it, and he was approaching his ideal step by step." ”

"I guess this is also the reason why Leng Kite is so anxious to take away Luo Hanlin's military power." Liu Fusu's hand rested on his chin, thoughtfully, "Now in the northern rebels, there are farmers in leisure time, soldiers in wartime, and the integration of the army and the people, and then let Chu Linfeng develop like this, when the time comes, they will unite as one, and all the people will be soldiers, and they will spontaneously resist the glory of the republic without calling, and Leng Kite will fall directly into the quagmire of war." ”

"Needless to say, 'it's time for the time', the cold kite is already in the quagmire." The old marshal narrowed his eyes, and his fingers tapped regularly on the table, "In the current northern rebel army, the people's hearts have been subdued by Chu Linfeng, if they forcibly send troops, they will spontaneously resist, and they will work together to protect their homeland and form a huge people's front." What if the cold kite soldiers are strong and strong, unless she ruthlessly kills the rebel civilians, she will fall into a strange circle: she can fight, but she can't hold it. ”

Chu Linfeng said helplessly: "It would be good if I had known the information earlier, and I wouldn't be as passive as I am now." ”

Just as the two fell silent, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Old Marshal: "Enter." ”

Cao Zhongxian, the head of internal affairs, walked in, handed over a document, and said, "Generalissimo, urgent documents." ”

The old marshal took the document, opened it, and immediately squinted.

Liu Fusu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Leng Kite suggested convening the 14th Republican Plenum and inviting the heads of military regions and think tanks under their command to gather in Chang'an to discuss strategies to confront the rebels in the north." The old marshal's eyes were as heavy as the sea, and he said profoundly, "As expected, Leng Kite couldn't sit still." ”
