"We caught him like that? Executed? Sir, I don't know why, but I always felt that it was all very sudden and a little strange......"

As Schelling and the others walked back to the crowd of headquarters, a staff officer was looking at Sherin and muttered.

"Eccentric? Don't you understand Longer's words? ”

Xie Ning glanced at him slightly.

"You know, because of us, Longer has lost one after another in the Eastern and Western Theaters. And he is a hybrid descendant of the Western Continent and the Barbarians, and I reckon that the brutes who have no surname will not be very convinced by his command - and in the successive defeats of this kind, Long's prestige is likely to be dealt a fatal blow, and the barbarians are infighting, and Longer is forced to remain as an outcast. ”

"So, such a Longer, can still fight with us? It would be good if he could block it for a few days, but most of the time he had to die due to the oath of his soul vein, and also with the power of the barbarian lunatics under his command who were full of fanatical belief in their false gods. ”

"You think it's weird that our victory came too quickly, and maybe Longer would have wished we had gone faster—he was treated as an outcast, and he didn't want to pull a backstop? What's more, those who still look down on him and cruelly give up on him, even if he has made so many feats for the barbarians? ”

He analyzed in detail for everyone who seemed to have more or less the same doubts.

……

"I see...... No wonder you say that makes sense...... But sir, are we going to bury him? He's ......."

The staff officer had a look of sudden realization on his face, and then he asked in a low voice, with a little grievance and incomprehension on his face.

"Did you notice the look in his eyes when he was asked where the barbarians had fled? Although he racked his brains to stop us for a few days under the Soul Oath, and refused to say anything, the last look in his eyes towards the extreme north clearly told us that the barbarians were trying to escape to the White Star and return to their homeland! ”

"I don't know if his final confession is true, but the direction he pointed out is very likely to be correct - I have thought about it all the way, and they are the queen of the million-strong army led by Long'er, and it is too tragic to beg for such a broken tail."

"If they flee to the Western Continent, then our army will pursue them, and they will still be destroyed, and they will only slow down the time of their death. But with a million troops plus Longer to beg for a few more days? They don't have to be that stupid. ”

……

"So, they can only survive with a broken tail! Their ultimate goal is likely to be to flee to Shirahoshi, to their homeland, and eventually, to escape! I don't know why they had so much confidence, but then it made sense for them to abandon a million troops. ”

"So, since Longl seems to have found it once at last in his conscience, let us also give his last mercy to this stupid and poor man who has human blood but no human light...... The barbarian is the real target of our bloody revenge, he is just a stupid and utter fool involved in it! ”

"All sins will end with his death."

Xie Ning said lightly.

……

"The chief is right, but...... Sir, I've been wondering all the time, are the barbarians really so sure that they can survive after cutting off their tails? Are we missing something? Could it be that the barbarians still have any means to deal with the Empire? Or will the barbarians deal with the Empire in the same way they do against the Allies? ”

"I've been wondering about this too, and there's a good chance you'd guess it......"

Xie Ning was shocked.

"But the Empire wouldn't agree...... In that case, it would be tantamount to selling us all to the barbarians—not all, but Hope Island will inevitably suffer great losses—and the Empire will not be able to agree to such a ridiculous threat......"

He muttered.

"Moreover, if the barbarians are allowed to return with those million troops, our plan to exterminate the barbarians may be uncertain, and the empire should know this......"

A staff officer also added.

……

"But if ...... Is it that the barbarians also promised in the oath of the soul vein, and they will not commit any offense to Hope Island Huiqiu? At that time, the empire was for the lives of hundreds of millions of people...... Otherwise, after so long, the empire should have known about it, so it should have notified us anyway......"

Xie Ning muttered again, his expression was already extremely hesitant.

"But what we can be sure of is that their soul oath must not include our Eighth Route Army - our Eighth Route Army is from Baixing Huaxia and has no relationship with the people of the Western Continent."

Lin Han also muttered.

"Therefore, it is impossible for the barbarians to hope that we will agree to this matter, and the oath of the soul vein they put forward is very likely to only restrict the people of the Western Continent and the Southern Continent or add our empire, but it is impossible to include us."

"It's also possible that the Allies and the Empire will hide from us instead of telling us - otherwise it would be fun if we broke their soul oath and let humanity break it......

"So, no matter what agreement they reach, we still have action, as long as we catch up with and annihilate the barbarians, it is likely that the barbarians have no choice."

She analyzed with some hesitation.

……

But maybe the empire is hesitating what to do? After notifying us, they basically had no choice. Chief of Staff, you must know that politics is not as straightforward and clear as the military, and it can only think about the overall interests of the country and the nation, the interests of the majority, and the long-term interests. ”

"But in many complex political situations, it is almost impossible to distinguish between what is the interest of the majority, who is really the overall interest, and which is the longer-term and greater interest. Among these interests, who is more important and who is lighter, and how to choose what is best for the country and the nation -- this is an extremely complicated proposition. ”

"So, it usually comes with a dilemma, it's hard to have the best of both worlds, and every choice will be extremely difficult and deliberate."

"In this case, we don't know the news, of course, it may be that the empire is limited to the soul oath, but it may also be that the empire doesn't know what to do, but can only hide it from us......"

Shainin retorted with still some doubts.

……

"I don't understand politics, but how can I say it...... With the surname of our Chinese people, it is impossible for the empire to abandon us, right? Moreover, the royal family that has sacrificed two members of the genius royal family, Chief Meng and the emperors who have been protecting their compatriots with blood, are they still not trustworthy? Just let them deal with it, we are only responsible for pretending not to know and pursuing - the east end of the land bridge is not an imperial political axe, but an emperor. ”

Lin Han thought about it, but she also hesitated to retort.

Or...... Shall we send personnel to contact the Empire through warplanes? ”

She asked again hesitantly.

"You're right...... What do you want to do so much? Anyway, the empire won't harm us. ”

Xie Ning also shook his head with a smile.

……

"You don't need to be connected. If it's the case I'm guessing, there's no point in contacting, we don't need to worry about being abandoned by the Empire, how is it possible? All in all, the empire will not harm us. ”

The young commander said confidently, his eyes full of deep trust in the motherland.

"And if it's your guess, since the empire hasn't notified us either, there must be concerns about the Soul Oath, and it's more likely to acquiesce...... Maybe I would like to do something about our only force, which is not likely to be constrained by the soul oath. ”

He said meaningfully.

"Just do as you say, leave him alone, and since he doesn't let us know, then we should not know. Anyway, with our troops, it's enough to wipe out the barbarians! Those fools, although it is a good strategy to survive after defeat, they dare to swagger in front of us? ”

……

"I'd like to see, even if you set out at least a week early, even if you destroy the road behind you, even if you buy precious time to escape—but the New Fourth Legion, which is almost the same size as us, but perhaps less powerful, is eating dry food? They'll hold you back for a few days, and we'll be able to catch up!" ”

As he spoke, Xie Ning's eyes were full of fierceness, and he turned to look at a combat staff officer.

"How is the situation on the battlefield now? Are our losses large, and do we have the strength to carry out an ultra-long-range high-intensity march and annihilate the barbarian fleeing troops? ”

He asked in a deep voice.

"Report to the chief, all the units have suffered little losses in this battle of annihilation, and they are chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy, and they can be closed at any time! After a few days of retreat and recuperation, our troops are already full of strength and elites, enough to support a major battle and pursuit of any intensity - as long as the barbarians can still run, we can also run, and we can catch up with them and annihilate them! ”

The staff officer, who had listened to the conversation between the two commanders and was convinced, had already saluted solemnly, and he replied in a loud voice.

……

Xie Ning nodded with satisfaction, he thought about it, and ordered solemnly: "Let them leave those remnants of the enemy alone, quickly clean up the battlefield, and move closer to the headquarters." As for the remnants of the enemy...... Leave them to the Allies behind us! lest these bastards follow us as if they were playing after us! ”

"This group of bastards, it's not that they actually lied about the military situation and cooperated with the barbarians to set us along. Longer may have been annihilated by us long ago, and we may have caught up with us! Although they may have a hard time, they are really worthy of us who have come to us from thousands of mountains and rivers! ”

As he spoke, the young man's face was already full of annoyance.

Immediately, his expression was straight, but he was solemn from his anger.

"But it's not too late! The barbarians have only run for more than ten days more than us, what are you afraid of? ”

"Order the ministries to assemble at once! Requisition any carrier they see and can muster - even if it's Allied! If anyone doesn't listen, tell them to let de Gaulle reason with me, and I'll see if de Gaulle dares to come to me! ”

"And as for us...... After the assembly, the heavy group carries a sapper as the vanguard, and the mechanized army of magic clothes follows closely behind, building roads and bridges in the mountains and rivers, and the soldiers do not unload their armor and horses, and the target land bridge pursues at full speed! ”

Immediately, he shouted loudly. (To be continued.) )
