Chapter 483: The Calm Before the Storm
In August, the surface of Tianxin City looks no different from usual, it is still so lively, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, social stability, and business is prosperous, but the soldiers who have walked inside and outside the city from time to time are reminding everyone that Tianxin City is in danger that will come at any time.

Fortunately, everything is fine in the city, there is no chaos, which makes Zhang Zheng save a lot of heart, and the things waiting for him to deal with are almost piled up, not only to pay attention to the progress of the project, but also to keep an eye on the training of recruits, and train 100,000 recruits in one go, which is not an easy task.
Fortunately, Zhang Zheng built the navy this time, and out of 100,000 people, 10,000 or 20,000 people went to the navy, and the air force also divided a part, which saved the army a lot of trouble, but the pressure was still very great, and there were not many people who could be favored by the air force, and one of the 1,000 people could find out all of them, and it was not easy for the navy to choose people.
These border guards are not talents recruited by Zhang Zheng from the outside world, they respond to the national policy, under the constraints of the law, they have to enlist in the army, most of them are ordinary peasants and gangsters in society, there are also cultivators, but there are very few, and it is quite difficult to find out a few literate ones.
Because of the limited conditions, the Air Force and the Navy had to relax the requirements again and again, and finally divided more than 10,000 people out with the minimum requirements, most of which were pulled away by the Navy, and the Air Force picked and chosen, and finally asked for no more than 100 people, and they were all ground staff, which made Yan Xiaowan's boss unhappy, and for a while when he saw Zhang Zheng, he threw his stinky face, and finally there was no way, Zhang Zheng had to let her recruit people from the society by herself, Yan Xiaowan let Zhang Zheng go, and then Zhang Luo went happily.
Originally, Zhang Zheng planned to see her laugh, how could it be so easy to join the Air Force, and he had only trained dozens of people in the past few years, but the final result was a bit unexpected by Zhang Zheng.
There are thousands of people who participated in the application, and only fifty or sixty people passed in the end, and it seems that the elimination rate is very high, but in fact, this data is already very high, you don't see the air force pilots in the previous life, there is not one out of 100,000 people, and the requirements are higher than here.
For a long time to come, the three armed forces were conducting high-intensity training every day, and in order to cope with the upcoming war, Zhang Zheng also let go, and the submarines and aircraft carriers that were previously idle were also used.
In the past, Zhang Zheng thought that the submarine was useless, but now Zhang Zheng doesn't think so, as long as it can go to the battlefield, whether you have it or not, first familiarize yourself with the operation and then say, in case it is used one day, the same is true for aircraft carriers, although it is nuclear-powered, it is very difficult to operate, however, there is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid that there are people who have a heart, I can't learn it for two days a day, and if it doesn't work for two days, I will practice it for four days, practice every day, practice him for more than ten hours a day, and each person is responsible for a post, so he doesn't believe that he can't train a group of available people, even if he can't produce talents, it's always no problem to start fighting a warγ
In a calm and tense atmosphere, August quietly drew to a close, and in early September, two uninvited guests suddenly came uninvited.
After a few months, the Flame Emperor and the Empress of Shadow once again arrived in Tianxin City.
There was no noise of gongs and drums, and there was no mighty accompanying army, the two emperors, one with only one bodyguard, came quietly, so low-key that Zhang Zheng didn't even know, and he didn't receive the news until they stayed in the hotel.
At that time, he was inspecting the Warcraft Forest, and after receiving the notice, he hurriedly ran out without stopping
"Your Majesty, why are you here, don't give me a word! β
To be honest, at this juncture, he was not surprised by the arrival of the Flame Emperor, but the Empress actually came, which made him a little surprised, you know, now the entire Flame Empire is on the blade of the temple, if it is an ordinary person, it will definitely be avoided, let alone run in and blindly participate.
"Why, listening to this tone, isn't City Lord Zhang welcoming us?"
Seeing Zhang Zheng, the empress smiled.
"How can it, the empress is coming, of course the lower officials welcome it, but it's just a little surprised, after all, it's ...... Your Majesty understands. β
Zhang replied.
At this time, the Flame Emperor spoke to the side
"Now that the situation is urgent, and with the shadow emperor accompanying you, the trouble is big, so I didn't notify you in advance. β
"Then Your Majesty, what are you here for?"
Zhang Zhenghu asked suspiciously
Speaking of business, the three of them sat upright at the same time, and the Flame Emperor and the Empress glanced at each other, and then said
"Since last month, the branches of the temple in various places have been constantly attacked by unknown forces from all sides, of course, some things must not be hidden from you, time is not hidden, some of them are called by the emperor, originally the emperor only planned to destroy all the branches in his own country, but I didn't expect that unintentionally, in the end, there would be such a big movement, and so many people went to find trouble with the temple. β
He stopped talking at this point, and Zhang Zheng took over at the right time
"This is certain, with the style of the temple, I don't know how many people have been offended in the past, and it is certain that someone will take the opportunity to take revenge, of course, it is definitely not a person who takes revenge, and there must be many people with ulterior motives hidden in it. For example, the Iron Blood Emperor ......"
The two of them were stunned at the same time, "Iron Emperor, what does he want to do?"
"Last month, he purchased more than two billion pieces of equipment from Xiaguan, which is more than the two Majesties combined, Xiaguan is very curious, why does the Iron-Blooded Empire purchase so many things in one go, so Xiaguan used satellite reconnaissance and found something interesting. β
"The Iron Empire is conscripting troops aggressively, and it is conservatively estimated that their army numbered at least five million last month. β
Zhang Zheng's words made the faces of the two of them change suddenly, and at the same time they gasped and exclaimed
"Five million, is it really that much? This number is more than our two countries combined, what does the Iron Blood Empire want to do?"
"He's not trying to join forces with the Templars against us, if that's the case, it's going to be troublesome. β
Seeing that the faces of the two were full of worry, Zhang Zheng comforted
"Your Majesty, don't worry for the time being, although the Iron Blood Empire has increased its strength several times, it will take time to form combat effectiveness, and the only thing I'm worried about now is the Sanctuary and the dark forces!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Zheng's face became gloomy, with a strong look of worry
"Last month, the lower officials used a little trick to push the temple to the mouth of the storm, coupled with the help of countless well-intentioned people, the temple can be said to be bullied, but in addition to sending troops to suppress it, they sent people everywhere to preach doctrines, and they didn't do anything to me, the culprit, which is very unusual, with their urine nature, they have suffered such a big loss, and they should be angry and kill the ......door."
"It's a little strange to say that, but isn't that just right, giving us plenty of time to prepare. β
Zhang Zheng shook his head at the words of the Flame Emperor
"No, if it were to change to other forces, it might be a good thing for us, but the other party is a temple plus a dark force, it is not necessarily a good thing to delay time, there are too many uncertainties in between, the longer the time drags on, the more uneasy I will be, there must be a conspiracy if there is no movement for so long. β
At this point, the Empress interjected
"Don't you have satellites, why don't you look at them from the sky?"
"The empress doesn't know, it's because she looks at the lower officials and feels worried, these days, the satellite has been circling around the temple and the Goddess of Nature continent every day, and the temple can't see anything for the time being, but the situation over there is a bit of a second, since last month, the Goddess of Nature Continent will emerge from time to time huge energy fluctuations and black gas that covers the sky and the sun, in addition, sometimes there is a thick blood mist lingering in the sky, and the satellite can't see through it. β
"These days, Xia Guan has a very bad premonition, and it is getting stronger and stronger, and he always feels that something big is happening. β
After Zhang Zheng finished speaking, the faces of the Flame Emperor and the Empress also changed, Zhang Zheng's ability was much stronger than them, and his ability to detect intelligence was not comparable to them. Even Zhang Zheng showed such a strong worry, they would not be much better, or even worse.
"So what are we going to do? are we going to wait and see or are we going to take the initiative?"
The Flame Emperor asked.
Zhang Zheng thought about it and replied
"Fighting a war is a matter of labor and money, especially the damage to the city, which is particularly serious, so the lower officials feel that if they can, try not to get the battlefield to their own territory, otherwise, no matter what the victory or defeat, the post-war reconstruction will be a laborious matter. β
"Your Majesty, the lower officials think so, since the war is unavoidable, instead of passively waiting for someone to come to the door, it is better to take the initiative to attack, what does Your Majesty think?"
Zhang Zheng said this mainly to the Emperor of the Flames, how to say that he is also the king of a country, such a big thing as a war, it is reasonable for Zhang Zheng to tell him in advance, because the war is not a child's play, it is a joke, it is good to win, in case of defeat, he Zhang Zheng will lose a city at most, but the Emperor of the Flame, he lost the entire country, and it is the foundation of the royal family for thousands of years.
Even if Zhang Zheng is conceited, he will not take it upon himself to gamble with all other people's belongings, if he loses the bet, how should he explain to the people of the entire Flame Empire in the face of small matters in the face of the royal family.
The bet on the ruin of the country and the death of tens of millions of people, without the approval of the Flame Emperor, Zhang Zheng will not act rashly until he has to do so.
Because, the cost of this war, he simply cannot bear.
