Chapter 235: The Northern Expedition

In Chang'an, the capital of the Republic, there are three people waiting in the No. 1 conference room of the Supreme Command.

The Generalissimo of the Republic sat on the main seat, bowing his eyebrows and groaning thoughtfully.

The face of the person on the left is like a crown of jade, the jade tree is in the wind, and the gestures reveal elegance and Confucianism.

The person on the right has light eyebrows and long beard, his eyes are quite round, and there is no coercion, and he looks like an ordinary old man.

These two are none other than Leng Kite, in addition to Leng Kite, the current two major generals of the Republic of Zhihui, the dove Confucian general Liu Fusu, and the neutral veteran Yue Runsheng.

"The soldiers of the Red Army marched forward and answered the call to fight. From the coast of Britain to Siberia, hey, the strongest Red Army in the world. The fighters of the Red Army, polishing their bayonets, had to hold their guns tightly in their hands. We should all become more and more tenacious as we fight, and fight the enemy to the death. Outside the No. 1 conference room, a brisk and heroic singing voice came slowly, as if from the throat of nature, from far to near, and finally stopped in front of the door.

The old marshal seemed to be smiling, as if he was thinking about a problem, and as if he was listening to the song.

The name of this song is "The Most Powerful Red Army", the composer can no longer be exquisite, it is a very shocking former Soviet military song, telling the story of the Red Army's attack on Wrangel, the "black baron" of the Crimean Peninsula in the summer of 1920.

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and a slender figure walked in, his dark purple eyes were breathtaking, the black clouds of his battle robe were overwhelming, and his bright red lips were like roses, and a burning cigar was gently sandwiched between them, and from time to time elegant smoke was exhaled.

"Admiral Cold Kite." The old marshal symbolically saluted the comer.

Leng Kite smiled and returned the salute, then sat down on a chair very casually, took off the cigar between the red lips, sandwiched it between the slender index and middle fingers, and said nothing, as if waiting for the following.

"Admiral Leng Kite, I have read the Northern Expedition plan and document you submitted, but I still have doubts, please answer truthfully." The old marshal flipped through the materials in his hand that he had read dozens of times, his voice was full of majesty, and he played an official tone with an attitude that no one should enter.

Leng Kite said, "Please speak." ”

"First of all, I want to know, what is the intention of this Northern Expedition?" The old marshal looked directly at Leng Kite's dark purple eyes full of deterrence, and asked deeply.

"Hahaha..."Leng Kite let out a burst of brisk laughter, but his eyes were unabashedly sarcastic and bantering, and he said in a playful tone, "Eliminate violence and peace, drive away evil and promote righteousness." ”

The old marshal also smiled mysteriously, but he didn't buy it, his tone softened, he no longer played an official tone, and even changed his title: "Kite, Runsheng and I both grew up watching you, and Fusu is also your childhood sweetheart, there are no outsiders here, but it doesn't hurt to speak." ”

Leng Kite took a puff of his cigar and spit out the smoke rings elegantly, the playfulness in his eyes was even stronger, and not a word in his words changed: "Eliminate violence and peace, drive away evil and help righteousness." ”

The old marshal looked a little helpless, looked at Yue Runsheng and Liu Fusu beside him, and nodded to them.

The two of them looked quite helpless, but they had already understood what the old marshal meant, silently retreated, and took the door of the conference room before leaving.

Before the old marshal could speak, Leng Kite suddenly took the initiative to speak: "Marshal, the northern rebels have been violating my border for a long time, the remnants are in tears, and the Quartet is disturbing, do you really have no intention of going north?" ”

The old marshal smiled deeply and said faintly: "Even if there is a intention to go north, but now the fierce beasts are everywhere, the land is restless, the people are not hungry, and there are few soldiers and generals, how can you resist the enemy?" ”

"The marshal is not afraid of the beast, but afraid of the power of the Federation." Leng Kite's words made the old marshal's eyes tremble a little, although it was only for a moment, but it did happen, but she did not continue the topic, but changed the conversation, "When it comes to the stomach, the marshal should know that one acre in northern China can support all the people, and it is a heavy land for grain production and industry. ”

The old marshal was silent for a while, touched his long beard, squinted his eyes and asked, "What is the general's way to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"I have a plan."

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it may not be a good strategy to win."

"The marshal doesn't need to worry, the kite can deal with it."

The old marshal nodded thoughtfully, as if recalling some past events, and said with a little sorrow: "Kite, I am not afraid of anything else, but I am afraid that in this Northern Expedition, you want to kill the 'Jiangzong' in order to avenge your personal revenge." ”

Jiangzong, this is a legendary name, more legendary than the name "Admiral Leng Luan", the reason is very simple, this person is the ancestor of Admiral Leng Luan.

This is an absolute legend, Jiang Zong was born in 1920, has been more than 100 years old, since he was a teenager to join the Anti-Japanese War, after the rise of the Republic before and after all the wars, is the oldest in the old era, the most experienced in combat, the strongest ability of a general, deservedly served as the generalissimo of the Republic, every legendary general born in later generations, all of them are proud disciples trained by his own hands, and the name of "Jiangzong" also comes from this.

Not only the general Leng Luan, but most of the famous generals in the old era worshiped under him, the current generalissimo of the Republic of the Hui is like this, the veteran Yue Runsheng is like this, the Confucian general Liu Fusu is like this, and even the eagle general Leng Kite himself is also the apprentice of Jiangzong.

Where is Jongjong now? In the north! He was the Generalissimo of the Republic, and after defecting, he became the supreme leader of the rebels in the north!

The "personal vendetta" that the old marshal said at this time did not refer to anything else, but to the tragedy of the fall of Admiral Leng Luan.

In the first year of the collapse, Leng Luan fought a bloody battle in Xicheng to protect the people of Li, and then received an order to abandon the civilian army and retreat, and this order was issued by Jiangzong!

Jiangzong was the generalissimo at the time, and the disaster brought about by the collapse overwhelmed the whole army, in order to protect the elite soldiers, he issued this difficult order, but in the end he got a firm refusal like Leng Luan.

The rest of the matter has already been known, Leng Luan strictly ordered the whole army to defend to the death, and the people did not swear not to retreat, but the armored division responsible for covering the left flank fled under the command of the major general, resulting in Leng Luan's main army being surrounded by mutant creatures, and all the members were righteous, and a bright general of the republic fell into the city, which really made future generations cry blood.

Although the direct cause of Leng Luan's death was the defection of his left-wing subordinates, in the final analysis, all the spearheads were directed at Jiang Zong's retreat order, if it weren't for that order, with Leng Luan's talent as a commander of the army, he might be able to defend Xicheng to the death, wait for the civilians to evacuate, and then command the army to withdraw in an orderly manner.

However, it was Jiangzong's retreat order that not only led to the fall of Leng Luan, but also caused the death of more than three million civilians in Xicheng, which can be called the most heart-wrenching tragedy in the first year of the collapse.

There is no need to repeat what happened later, the Hui of the Republic was established, collapsed for 7 years, Leng Luan's daughter Leng Kite worshiped the general, and killed the defected officers in the group army with an iron fist, leaving no one, and the main figure who needed to be responsible for this tragedy, Jiang Zong, was still entrenched in the north at this time, and was the last and biggest "enemy" of Leng Kite.

With such a background involved, it is no wonder that the old marshal wants to doubt the purpose of Leng Kite's Northern Expedition, which is as she wrote in "Fighting Rebel Bandits": "The kite is afraid that the mountains and rivers of Middle Earth will be broken and the people will be disturbed, so he wants to wave his army to the north, aiming to eliminate the rebels and bandits, quell the riots, so that the people can get their place and the wanderers return home!" ”

Or in the name of the Northern Expedition, he incited the emotions of the soldiers, activated the country's war machine, and used a war to avenge his mother in order to vent his personal anger?

The old marshal didn't know, he really didn't know, he couldn't see through Leng Kite's mind...
