Chapter 1168: The more fragile you are, the stronger you are

Flame northeastern border.

The sea of people scattered all over the mountains and fields could not be seen at a glance, and the heavy source stone fluctuations made the birds passing in the sky dare not approach.

...

If it is only 3 million people, it is not much shock, because even the total population of Longmen will be close to 3 million, and the total population of the entire North China region will even exceed 20 million.

However, if the word "army" is added after 3 million, it will be a completely different matter.

With an army of 3 million, this number has even surpassed that of most world powers, including Victoria and Yan.

The 3 million people gathered at the border at this time can indeed be called an army, because at least more than half of them are equipped with sophisticated combat weapons.

And the remaining half also have the necessary characteristics of a soldier, the belief in killing the enemy, and the determination to die.

Such a huge army can only be described as an army.

.....

Lin Hong must be very incomprehensible in the face of this shocking fact, not only Lin Hong, but also the entire high-level Yanguo is equally incomprehensible.

Take Victoria as an example, the sum of the four major military regions together can be counted as a fight with the 3 million troops of Yandong at this time, but the overall economy of Victoria is objectively more than dozens of times more than that of Yandong.

What is the Army?

The army is the best proof of a country's strength, and since this is the case, the more the better, because it will not be harassed by foreign enemies.

In practice, however, the army is not allowed to expand indefinitely, because it is closely linked to the country's economy.

To put it bluntly, if a country can spend 20 billion yuan a year on military spending after integrating the economy of labor, productivity, trade interaction, etc., then the country can only raise an army worth 20 billion, and if it exceeds 20 billion, it will break the balance of national development.

The annual cost of the army is unimaginable to ordinary people, conscription, training, equipment, food, retirement and resettlement, etc., and the most important point is that the existence of the army is far more "prepared" than "war".

If the military wants to maintain strong combat effectiveness and the belief of sacrificing for the country, it needs to ensure high-intensity training and drills at all times, including the support of various welfare benefits.

In other words, armies can exist only to fight or wait for war.

When there is no war, you can't let a main army go to the mines to dig stones, and you can't have soldiers step on a sewing machine to make clothes, because that will seriously deplete the fighting power and the quality of the soldiers, which is something that only the militia can do.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness and will to fight of the army are directly proportional to the input.

This proves why the military can reflect the strength of a country.

....

And now, this theory has been completely overturned by Yandong.

I have neither strong national support nor huge military investment, but I have a strong army of 3 million.

If you ask where these 300 troops came from, there is only one answer.

Since the establishment of Yandong, the hospital has received more than 4 million infected people.

There is no such thing as a wasted lunch.

Yandong did not spend a penny of military expenditure to build an army, but in order to suppress the ore disease of these infected people, he spent tens of billions of drug costs.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Yandong, the lack of communication skills of the governor of Yandong is simply a big mistake.

Xia Feng knows how to communicate with the infected very well, because he is an infected person himself, and at the same time, his communication is not manifested in words, but in actions.

There is no high-sounding righteousness, no pie drawn out of thin air, there is only one thing he can give.

That is, I can keep you alive.

Even if the rest of life is still very short, even if this desperate world is still the same, I can let you feel the last trace of warmth when you leave this world.

Because we share a common name – the infected.

...

In this way, Yandong created a miracle in less than 1 year in the forgotten corner of the world.

That is, it will always be talked about by storytellers, but it will never be achieved by any country or region.

In the true sense, all the people are soldiers.

.....

The Yandong army that spread all over the mountains was murderous, and the equipment created by it reflected the cold light.

If the conviction of an army reaches a spiritual unity at a certain point in time, then the combat effectiveness displayed will be invincible.

At this moment, the survivors of the infected who had followed Summer Wind to the north in Victoria regained the feeling of seeing death as home.

And the subsequent infected people who joined Yandong from all over the world also understood why Victoria at the beginning could be overthrown by Black Wings.

Someone once said that the stronger you are, the more vulnerable you are, but at this moment, the phrase seems to have been flipped.

The more vulnerable, the stronger.

Because of the fragility of life, the infected have nothing to lose, and it is precisely because of this that they are willing to use their last life to protect someone's favor.

In the crowd all over the mountains, the roar of the mountains and tsunamis sounded.

"Ah!!!h

There were no words, just hysterical roars, which were enough to penetrate the psychological defense line of the 300,000 North China troops on the opposite bank.

....

Yanguo, Fengyang City.

In the imperial city, Yan Guoxiang sat alone in the empty nave, holding a copy of the information written to him by Lin Hong himself.

In the unmanned room, Yan Guoxiang leaned on the chair in the middle decadently, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The janissary who walked in presented a letter from Yandong.

"Prime Minister, it's a letter from the Governor of Yandong."

"I see, let's get out."

"Yes."

The door was closed again, and the nave fell silent again.

Yan Guoxiang held Lin Hong's letter in his left hand and Xia Feng's letter in his right hand, the difference was that the letter sent to him by Xia Feng was never opened.

I don't know how long it took, until it was dark outside, and Yan Guoxiang was still sitting on the chair in a daze.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and a man dressed in the exact same clothes as the shadow guard walked in silently and stood behind Yan Guoxiang.

After a long time, a deep female voice came from the shadows.

"Do you want me to do it?"

Yan Guoxiang's pupils flickered.

"What do you mean?"

The female voice came again, just two words.

"Yandong."

.....

Without answering, Yan Guoxiang slowly opened the letter written to him by Xia Feng.

There was only one sentence on the letter.

Seeing the words on the letter, Prime Minister Yan sighed and closed his eyes gently.

"No, you go and rest."

After the figure in the darkness left silently, Yan Guoxiang opened his eyes.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that there was a sentence on the back of the letter, and the handwriting was the same as the front, which was obviously written by Xia Feng.

The sentence on the back of the letter is:
