Revised Edition, Volume 16, The Resurgence of the Storm, Chapter 8, The Legacy of Raising Tigers. Luring the Wolf into the House (Medium)

The atmosphere that followed was truly harmonious and warm, and nothing strange happened. The banquet www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion did not end until the evening, and I dragged my alcohol-intoxicated body to walk to a nearby hill to blow the wind, but I unexpectedly encountered the wind in the canal. Seeing that he was overwhelmed by alcohol, he made fun of him: "Yo, the general on the Megatron side can't be like this, escape the banquet!" ”

Feng Liqu smiled bitterly: "I really can't stand it." Since the Fengli family was cut down more than ten years ago, my family has banned drinking until now, or this time it has made an exception, how can it be compared with the general? ”

When I heard his words, I suddenly remembered the guy who almost killed me back then, and asked, "By the way, is there a man named Fenglijun in your family?" He seems to be a very powerful guy. ”

Feng Liqu smiled bitterly again, I don't know if it was because he was born to smile bitterly or if the questions I asked always made him unable to smile. He hesitated for a moment and said, "General, Fenglijun is a famous lord left by Ancestor Wuji to my family, not a specific person. It's a pity that it's been cut down for a long time. Today's Fengli family can only silently serve the Mowgli Army, hoping to wash away the sins that have been borne on my family in time. ”

I nodded and said, "Oh oh, it's my bad, it's something unpleasant." ”

"That's nothing, although it's not a glorious thing, but after all, it can't be hidden." Feng Liqu struggled to find a new topic: "The Great General seems to be very familiar with the Heavenly Realm?" The Celestial Realm is also well spoken, and there is a Taiyan accent, have you ever been to Taiyan? ”

"I'm familiar enough with the brothers of the Hong family, but Taiyan hasn't been there." I don't even know why I said the following utter things that were completely unnecessary: "I've been to the heavenly realm, and that's when I was a teenager." I once had an unforgettable relationship with the previous head of your family, but unfortunately I couldn't come together because of the disparity in status after all. When I finally had the strength to stand side by side with her, the news of her untimely death came again, which was really sad. ”

When I said this, the expression on the face of the wind was as if all the animals of the circus had stepped on his face, unpredictable and very beautiful. After hearing what I said, he suddenly fell to his knees with a "plop". I was taken aback, and quickly reached out to help him, saying, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Feng Liqu was so moved that he sobbed and said, "Does the general regard me as a confidant? Tell me such a secret thing, the last general is really toothless and unforgettable, and I am grateful! ”

I think he's making too much of a fuss, is it that the perennial iron laws of the Wuji Army have taught people's brains to tease, or does he really see himself as a dog under my command? But no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like that kind of guy who has no personal dignity, and that kind of guy can never sit on the position of the commander of the Mowgli Army, which makes me really surprised, and asks: "You love to listen to gossip stories so much?" When I heard such a thing, I was moved like this--cough, I lied to you, there was no such thing at all. ”

Feng Liqu stood up at this time, gasped and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

I squinted my eyes and asked, "Or what?" ”

"If it wasn't for me, it would be appalling."

I scoffed and said, "It's appalling, Princess Jingwei also told me, do you really care so much about the opinions of the family, can't you tolerate that kind of shocking romance?" ”

As I spoke, the face of the wind was difficult to look at again. He hesitated and asked, "Princess Jingwei also said thatβ€”is it true?" ”

"What if there is?"

Feng Liqu suddenly diverged his words: "General, dare to ask you if you are a good woman?" ”

This question kind of tested me. I thought for a while and said, "I don't really care, it depends on who it is." ”

"Oh, that's ......"

Faced with the wind and drain whose face was so red that it seemed to drip blood, my curiosity finally exploded irrepressibly. That's when I remembered the same ability I had back thenβ€”my ability was badly damaged by the toxins of mutated plants during my Vulture Fortress adventure, and only a small part of it had recovered until now, and it seemed to have a bad feeling when I moved around. Therefore, on the day of the Shinjuku election chaos, the mental power that had been accumulated for a long time was still not enough, and even had to rely on brute force to help barely knock on the spiritual shackles of Fengluo, and it was completely impossible to achieve the usual level of being able to be clear about the psychology of others if you lifted your own ban a little. Fortunately, I haven't relied on that ability, so it's not a big deal to lose it.

But at this moment I really wanted that power to come back to me, even if it was only for a second - but in fact all I could do at this time was to press down on my frenzy and get the truth out of him. Fortunately, it's not that hard for me now. I said with a straight face: "Aren't you Wuji Army Patriarch also a white man?" Where did you get so many family views now, as if you are really noble, you must know that those princesses and princes you have sealed are not recognized by the central body of the heavenly realm. Tell me, what's shocking? ”

Feng Liqu hurriedly replied: "The general is right. The Wuji Army started from the people, although it set up a knighthood, but it was not as important as other feudal countries in the heavenly realm, and there were many people who worked and performed in the folk for the princess's son, but we actually didn't pay much attention to the views of the family. Of course, things are a little different for the head of the family, and there will be gossip or even obstruction, but in our opinion there is nothing surprising about it, unless ......"

My curiosity was about to explode, but I had to endure it. According to the jargon, it is to make enough shelves. Enough of Brother Kun's style, he said coldly: "If you have something to say, you can say it in one breath." ”

"Yes." Feng Liqu said: "Because of the inheritance of the style of the ancestor of Wuji before the Great Era, my Wuji family can be regarded as the most civilized place in the heavenly realm, and there are even many avant-garde places in the human world today. However, the personal habits of the previous head of the family are really not understandable to everyone. It's surprising that his lover turned out to be you, the general. When it comes to shocking the world, I'm afraid it's inevitable. Alas, how to say it? Li Lin is indeed gifted and intelligent, and he has a great penchant for handsome heroes, but it is a pity that he was born as a man......"

The more I listened to it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and when I heard the last sentence, I suddenly couldn't help but burst out: "What ****** you talking nonsense?!" ”

The overlord is powerful, which is not trivial, and after shouting this sentence, the entire mountain seems to be shaken. Feng Liqu suddenly fell to the ground, shouting "The last will be guilty". I didn't expect the power of my anger to come to this, and my heart sank. As soon as the thought turned in his mind, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and asked, "What did you just say about Li Lin, who is that?" ”

Feng Liqu was fighting with his teeth full of teeth, and he said, "The last general will not dare to say it." ”

I was forced to put on Brother Kun's style again: "Why, General Ben asked you, you dare to disobey?" ”

"Back to the general, Li Lin is the last head of my family, your ......, general"

"Shut up!" My mind was in a mess, and I waved my hand and said, "Get up, I have a lot to ask you." ”

Unfortunately, my roar shook the mountains and fields, and before I could figure out how to ask him, the generals of the Wuji Army and the Taiyan Army had already hurriedly arrived with their own guards. No matter how serious and urgent this misunderstanding may be, it cannot be brought up again at such a time when there is so much talk. I tried my best to keep my emotions under control and said hastily, "Nothing. ”

What follows is like sleepwalking, nothing more than clichΓ©s. After years of officialdom, I have been able to give full play to my own resource advantages, and I am too vain to do these things. Maybe Feng Liqu will feel admiration when he sees me, who had a hideous face just a moment ago, suddenly become so down-and-out and generous, and that's also his business. The real me is hidden under that mask and is confused and meditative - or the false me is confused and meditating, and the real me can also socialize outside, and it doesn't matter which is true or false.

When I got back to the residence, I tried to find some time to gather my emotions, but that effort failed. Han Han didn't let me go for a moment, and gave me countless things to do. As soon as I was about to excuse myself, she looked at me with that hurt look in her eyes, and her eyes were full of words like "So you are a bad man who cheats on the feelings of your best friend." I was not afraid of anyone using a knife or scolding me in the street, but I was afraid of this wordless mental destruction, so I had to silently accept one task after another, hoping to complete it as quickly as possible and make time to recall what strange things had happened.

However, the tasks are not finished one after another, and each one is bigger than the other, I have to concentrate all my energy to do it, I only have less than three hours to sleep every day, and after a week of continuous work, the iron body is also a little unbearable, and I don't even need to think about it when I meditate and think about private matters, and I have already thrown them all out of the clouds. Seeing that the series of tasks was done seventeen or eighteen but there was no end in sight, I finally realized that something was wrong. At this time, I occasionally met Ah Bingbing in a strange place, and found that he was sitting on the toilet and snoring, and the super hunk who dared to carry a kitchen knife to fight with the dragon bone soldiers was also tired and paralyzed! I comforted him through the wall, and asked him from the side why the task could not be completed, and A Bingbing Bing'er leaked the heavenly secret to me bluntly: "Han Han summoned experts to develop an ERP system when he was in the country, and used the computer to design and optimize the process to arrange all the personnel work, which was modified some time ago and used here." For people like you and me, I also specially added the code, and the little prostitute pretended to be sick a few days ago and rushed her up in person, how could it be done. Anyway, it's an irresistible rape, so suffer silently and try to get pleasure out of it. ”

I suddenly realized that the fat man had cultivated enough humor cells, and he was no longer the king of bad jokes back then. And Han Han is no longer the good friend who sent me around at will and had no regrets, she was amazing. Time can change everything, but I seem to be a little behind.

At the beginning of June, everything is settled, the redistribution of power on the main planet is basically completed, and the regular meeting of the global parliament is about to be held. Under Hojo's manipulation, Overmars, I, and third-party democratic forces (i.e., those who are disobedient and unable to oust them immediately) are in charge of the global parliamentary situation, and the number of seats occupied by the three parties in the parliament is also arranged in this order, and the proportion is just enough to check each other, and I cannot help but admire the old man's cunning. However, the regular meeting, which was originally scheduled to be held on June 4, was delayed because the internal vote could not be passed. The "billion mobilization" proposal proposed by Han Han was first stuck in Hojo. Although he agreed that Ovimars and I would preside over the global situation and use a lot of manpower and material resources that we had never obtained to fight the space threat, he wrote a letter of admonition to Han Han at this time, saying that he did not support us unconditionally. There wasn't much nonsense in the letter, and it basically went straight to the point:

"The old man who came out of the Great Time must remind you: we cannot go back to the total turmoil of the Great Era. No matter how imminent the crisis is, you can't make the kind of decisions that hurt your roots. The fact that the country is the largest part of the global economy is because of the unswerving policy of 'not building an army' that has been believed in since the great era. No quarrel with the world is fighting. Achieving the goal with a move that does not hurt the vitality is the best policy. ”

Han Han changed hands and showed me the letter. I was also confused: Hojo was a pretty good man, but the letter was pure nonsense from a dying old man. Simba has a vulgar mantra that is particularly representative of our mood at this time: "When is it, no quarrel with the world?" What kind of **** joke?! ”

At the first in-house symposium with the participation of the top members of the global parliament, the Hojo family gave a relatively clear explanation of the scepticism on the issue: "The world's population is only in the early three billions, and the world is in turmoil with a mobilization of one billion. How to bear the risk of a sharp decline in agricultural production and the disruption of the supply of daily necessities in the future? ”

Han Han immediately answered this question: "One billion mobilization refers to the mobilization of one billion people to work for the army. To achieve a military management and supply system for the mobilized targets, so as to maximize the supply of material production and military reserves in the shortest possible time, does not mean that one billion people will not work and all of them will be trained into the army. After the end of the war, this mechanism can be ended immediately and without causing harm. ”

A pro-democracy lawmaker asked a sharp rhetorical question: "Won't it cause anything?" ”

Han Han hesitated for a moment, and said firmly: "Maybe, but we can bear it, we must bear it." ”

However, her words pale in the face of Hojo's opposition, which has already set the goal of "minimum mobilization", at best, about 10 million people and a trillion dollars to serve the space fleet, including those who have been organized into troops and sent to the front. And those who preside over the operation know that for a vicious war of this scale, logistics personnel often need to be several times the number of combatants. As for a trillion in combat funds, it may have been enough for ten years ago, and we could weave an airtight "Skynet Guardian" to put ourselves in a safe. But now I know that that is not enough, that may be able to withstand the invasion of Feria in ten or twenty years, but with the potential of the planet Nebuchu, which is far larger than the Earth in size and mineral deposits, they will succeed in fifty, a hundred years, or more. Although it was already the world of posterity, since we have the ability to solve the problem now, there is no need to leave the problem to future generations to solve. After all, people who can solve problems don't exist every year.

The internal vote ended in defeat with a 54% approval rate (less than two-thirds). The democrats are almost all maliciously dismantling the stage and causing trouble, and Overmars left with a black face without waiting for the voting results to come out completely. I can understand his pain: 54%, what concept? There was basically no problem on my side, so it was immediately inferred that less than half of the people on Overmars's side voted in favor. Although the power is extremely huge, it is not up to itself, and the emptiness of this puppet puppet is enough for this fierce general.

The internal meeting was held three times but could not produce results, and the cold billion-dollar mobilization bill was rejected again and again, but no one could come up with a proposal that was not rejected, and the days dragged on day by day. The calendar has flipped over May, and the meeting can no longer be delayed, and there is no longer a wait. The people below were anxious, but Overmars didn't react, and I didn't react, it looked like I was sitting at home and waiting to die. Finally, even Titus couldn't sit still a little and called me and asked, "Do you want to communicate with Hojo or Ovimas again?" There seems to be some disagreement between their teachers and students, and we will mediate from it, which is good for everyone. ”

I snorted and said, "I can't move at this time." The gun shoots the first bird, and whoever moves will find death. ”

According to my experience of Zhao Yuanmin and others trying to clean up after the occupation of Alpha, this kind of thing that everyone thinks you should be anxious about but you are not in a hurry, there will always be someone who is more anxious than you. On 15 June, news came from the side of the country: The Global Parliament will be convened on 18 June, and the proposal to send troops will be openly discussed and decided. So far, only Hanhan's billion-dollar mobilization case has been discussed, but according to the current situation, that case is ironclad, and it is impossible for hundreds of people to hold a meeting for an unattainable goal. Sure enough, two hours later, Kamei Shou called me from a special line: "Hojo Kamakura invites you to attend the festival on the evening of the 16th. ”

I casually asked, "What sacrifice to the gods?" ”

"Oh, you don't know? During the Great Era, the soldiers of the He Department believed in the great god of Zichuan, and they had to worship before each battle to pray for invincibility. This custom has been passed down to some extent, and in order to boost the morale of the world, Hojo Kamakura has arranged for the reconstruction of the Shikawa Shrine below, and personally presided over the worship of the gods and the mourning of the heroes of the great era. ”

"Oh, is he still ready to fight?"

"It's strange that Your Excellency said this, when did Hojo Kamakura oppose the war?"

That being said, mobilizing a billion people and 10 million is not an order of magnitude concept. I was secretly scolding in my heart, and Kamei Shou said: "It's normal for everyone to think differently about major events in the world, but as long as you can find the way of great harmony." Hojo Kamakura was going to have a face-to-face interview with the two generals before the worship of the gods, and he asked the generals to come as soon as possible, believing that they would reach a final understanding by exchanging positions and opinions with each other. ”

The so-called early arrival is just a polite phrase for "coming immediately". The situation was pressing, and there was no room for delaying tactics, so I rushed to Kanagawa Prefecture with a group that night, and it was already 3 o'clock in the morning when the security personnel had completed the hotel formalities and checked in. It's no wonder that they are not to blame, because Hojo Lao'er wants to dance the great god, and this night countless bureaucrats of all sizes rushed to the small Kanagawa Prefecture to stay, so it took several hours just to find a hotel where our delegation could stay. If it weren't for the special identity, I'm afraid that I would only have to lay on the floor. It is gratifying that after coming to Heguo, at least I can completely leave the following urgent matters in the land of China to others to deal with, and my brain can be a little easier. So I ordered the guards to guard the gate and not let anyone enter, so that I could sleep until noon and get up to make up for the fatigue of the previous days. Don't look at my official getting bigger and bigger, this kind of order to be lazy has never been successfully executed. was sleeping in the clouds, when suddenly a thunderous voice sounded in his ears: "Huang Er, get up, there are guests!" ”

At this moment, I woke up with a sense of hatred and humiliation like a tired prostitute getting up to pick up a guest for the old bustard! What a dignified shogun, he can't even sleep! But when I opened my eyes, I saw that it was Basque Ice in front of me, and immediately I couldn't say anything. He was not more relaxed than me a few days ago, and when we met occasionally in the toilet, we all had some bitter complaints about "sleeping later than dogs, waking up earlier than chickens, and working more tired than mules". This time when he came to Heguo, he snored loudly on the plane on the way, slept so much that he couldn't wake up, and when he was looking for a hotel, he completely departed from my duties as the head of security and slept on the side, which shows how tired he became. When he came to call me, there must have been something I had to get up to deal with. I cried out in my heart, but my anger was gone, and I asked, "What is the matter?" ”

Unable to hide his weakness and exhaustion, Basque Bing yawned and said, "Hanhan, please go to the inner court for a while, as if you have something important to discuss." ”

As we staggered to the intersection of the inner court, we saw soldiers in Space Force uniforms who didn't know anything standing guard, and they reached out and stopped the Basque Ice. I immediately understood who was in front of me, and I walked slowly to see that there was a small stone table in the rockery in the courtyard, which was probably used for people who were here to play chess. There were already three people sitting at the table: Overmars, Han Han, and Han Zeng.

"I'm sorry to disturb Your Excellency's rest." When he said this politeness, Overmars did not have the slightest guilt on his face: "However, time is limited, and I must see you." For some things, it's essential to hear what you really think. ”

I yawned and said, "I'm not clear about my thoughts yet, so you can speak first, I'll listen." ”

Han Zeng spoke first: "Regarding the preparation for battle, what is the bottom line of the general's bearing?" ”

"Yo, you just ask her about this." I raised my chin at Han Han: "You know when I was in Lei Longdo, this woman has taken care of all my affairs, and my daughter will have to rely on her to find a job and marry in the future......"

Overmars suddenly laughed: "What, you have a daughter?" ”

"Where, where, I mean hypothetical......"

"Rhubarb, don't gag!" Han Han said solemnly: "Everyone's time is precious. ”

"Okay, okay." I yawned a few times and leaned back in my chair tiredly: "The enemy has a planet that is bigger and more resourceful than us, and a billion mobilization may not be possible!" It is unimaginable to deduct a penny. ”

Han Zeng asked again: "In other words, the general will definitely not accept the 10 million minimum mobilization plan proposed by Hojo Kamakura?" ”

I asked rhetorically, "Are you going to accept that they are all people who have led soldiers to fight?" ”

"I can understand the teacher's mind." Overmars said slowly, "He doesn't understand this. However, if we really want to devote all our energy to fighting against Feriia, first, there may be a shortage of food production, and second, it may lead to a situation in which the military will control politics in the future. He doesn't want to see the world in chaos anymore! It took nearly two decades for the GDI to regain power from the separatist warlords after the Great Era, during which there were repeated rebellions. At that time, a small part of the natural disasters were covered up man-made disasters. This memory is too deep for him, and he has told me before that a soldier must not control politics. ”

Han Zeng patted his thigh and shouted, "What kind of hollow is his old man!" Let's just not control it, it's a big deal to write a letter of commitment......"

When he said this, all three of us stared at him deadly. The guy immediately sat on pins and needles and asked, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

"The important thing now is that we don't have time to think about the future." Han Han said: "People and the environment will change, and no one can say what will happen in the future." The most immediate problem now is that what Hojo Kamakura insisted on was contradictory to our goals. If only the little manpower and material resources he agreed to, the most optimistic prediction was that we could restore the connection with the Gonggong fortress, strengthen the base on the Nebuchu land a little, and then we would not be able to do anything. After these goals are achieved, who can predict how the political situation in the rear will affect the front? For the generals who go to war, without stable support and goals in the rear, it is impossible to talk about formulating and realizing any grand strategy. ”

"You're quite right." Overmars nodded, then turned to me again, "What do you think or prepare?" ”

I stretched my waist and said, "No matter what you do, Hojo Kamakura won't let go." I don't think it's appropriate to put all the blame for all the perverse actions of the democratic reform period on the head of the old Adams. Got rid of the Addams family, the so-called pan-democratic forces are still manipulated, and it is self-evident who this person is. We are all soldiers, and it is really a bit powerless to fight politics with him. It's time to figure it out. ”

"yes, we'll have to figure it out." Overmars asked, "What is your best plan now?" ”

I was speechless for a moment, and my heart began to beat a drum: his tone was unusual, faintly murderous, could it be ...... But could it just be a test for me? I have been with the person in front of me for many years, but I have never established a relationship of trust at the level of heart-to-heart. After thinking about it for a while, he reluctantly said, "Let's see him in the afternoon and see if we can get him to give in." ”

"I can tell you very clearly, that's impossible," said Ovimas gently but firmly. (To be continued.) )
