Chapter 246: General, Please Walk for Us
August 15 is destined to be a sleepless night.
At dusk, there was silence in the barracks of the exercise troops. The week-long closed training has ended, and after three days of rest, the exercise troops will set foot on the exercise ground tomorrow to face the challenge from the Fengwu and Rising Sun Empires.
In the time when the exercise was approaching, Sea Moon City had fallen into a frenzy, and a series of high-profile events were staged one after another.
The first thing is that at the invitation of the Royal Princess of Tianlong, superstar Mengge temporarily canceled his trip to the Meiya Empire and will observe the exercise as a guest. For a time, the gate of the Supervision Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs, which was responsible for arranging the personnel to observe the exercise, was almost squeezed through by various related households from different countries, different families, and different forces. In the end, Menggeli's fans occupied more than 50% of the seats in the viewing group.
Tianlong's decision came as a surprise to many people, especially the two countries of Rising Sun and Fengwu, who were going to send troops to participate in the exercise. You must know that with the amazing influence of Mengge fans, this will only bring one result, which is to make the results of this exercise spread rapidly across the eastern and western continents. Tianlong, who is destined to be at the bottom, why would he do such a stupid thing? Could it be that the top leaders of Tianlong still have great hopes for that Zhu Xiaoqi? Or is it that this kid who was born out of thin air really has the possibility of turning the tables in the hands of the Prince of the Rising Sun and the God of Ice and Snow War?
It's a strange trick that no one can understand. However, the people of Tianlong saw one thing clearly through this incident: before this battle of possible defeat began, Qige had the staunchest support of the country, and Tianlong wanted a heroic battle, not that damn face. This silent message made countless people excited, cheered, and even shed tears for it, because the weak motherland did not succumb to the heavy pressure of a strong enemy, but chose to fight bravely! The victory or defeat of the exercise may not be as important as imagined, but the important thing is that the country's sleeping will to war was revived at this moment. In the future, the war may make the beautiful homeland scorched, and in the future, countless men may sleep on the bloody battlefield, but Tianlong will never lose the courage to show his sword to the enemy, and the soldiers of Tianlong will recast their honor in the war!
The Su family and the Zhao family, the two major business families in Haiyue City, reacted quickly. Su Moyu appeared in the casino opened by the Rising Sun Force with 50 million gold coins, and won by betting heavily on Tianlong. And Zhao April was also involved in the gambling game opened by the Fengwu forces almost at the same time, and 50 million was invested in his own country. For the two business families with profound backgrounds, 50 million is not enough to break the bones, but this pride has greatly boosted the morale of the people of Haiyue City. And the forces of the two countries that took the bet panicked in their hearts. The handicap is 1:5, although the probability of winning is very high, but if you lose, you will have to lose 250 million gold coins. Such a huge amount of money, even if you can afford to lose, it will be painful.
However, in the face of the aggressive political and business forces of the Celestial Dragon, the Prince of the Rising Sun and the Ice and Snow Goddess behaved quite calmly. Only people with low faith will use all kinds of means to boost their morale, and they don't need to. After the start of the exercises, there will be results very quickly, and the farce will naturally end.
"Tell your people that you will share the winnings. If you lose, this public expense will be reimbursed!" Chrysostom, the prince of the Rising Sun, opened his mouth and solved the pressure brought by 250 million.
"If he can win, that's a good thing. This money should be used as a military aid for Tianlong!" The attitude of the Ice and Snow God of War was even more relaxed.
Sea Moon City is turbulent, but the protagonist of the incident is surprisingly silent. Zhu Xiaoqi disappeared from people's sight after the banquet, and no news about him came out. This kind of behavior, which is completely different from his usual style, has cast a veil of mystery over this upcoming military exercise.
People who cared about him couldn't help but wonder, was Seventh Brother accumulating anger and preparing to magnify the move to kill the prince and the god of war, or was he thinking about which river to jump into after losing the exercise?
Time passed in a hurry in the eyes of anticipation, and the day of the exercise was getting closer and closer. The three countries sent representatives to complete the final consultations on the setting of the exercise area, the formulation of the exercise rules, and the establishment of the director's office. The staff dispatched by the Tianlong Military Affairs Department quickly rushed to the exercise area and began the preliminary preparations. On 14 August, the exercise units of the two countries, Rising Sun and Fengwu, also entered their temporary stations in the exercise area. After a one-day rest, the exercise commanders of the two countries officially appeared and were interviewed by reporters.
The commander of the Rising Sun Empire is a tall, beautiful and heroic female officer. "I'm very happy to have the opportunity to kick Zhu Xiaoqi's ass! I'm very interested in this guy, I came to Tianlong just to see if he is as magical as everyone legend!" What is the situation? The commander of the Rising Sun turned out to be a woman, and a woman who was interested in Seventh Brother...... Is the seventh brother too charming, or is it a big trick that has attracted the attention of the military side of the Asahi Army?
"I don't have much to say. When I take Zhu Xiaoqi and Long Rui back from the battlefield, you can come back for interviews and let them talk about their experiences. "The commander of the Phoenix Dance Empire is actually Feng Wuregret, the sister of the Ice and Snow God of War, which is also surprising to everyone. Her cold attitude at the press conference dispelled speculation that Feng Wu might let the dragon go in the exercise.
The exercise troops of Rising Sun and Fengwu appeared one after another, but Zhu Xiaoqi and his troops had no news at all. The answer given by the Tianlong military is that this unit is carrying out final combat preparations and will only be stationed in the exercise area on the day of the start of the exercise.
This answer is a bit painful. If a unit cannot complete combat readiness in more than a week, what combat effectiveness does it have?
However, the people in the Ministry of Military Affairs can't help it, except for this excuse, they really can't think of anything better. Do you tell everyone that no one except the Minister of War knows what this army is doing now?
On the evening of August 15, Minister of Military Affairs Zhang Lingfeng couldn't sit still and came to the Haiyue City Military Academy in person. He had already sent two orders to Zhu Xiaoqi in a row, urging him to lead his troops into the exercise area, but they were all blocked by Du Yu. This old thing told him that Zhu Xiaoqi was preparing a surprise for him, and any bit of time now was quite precious, and the troops could not be mobilized until the last minute.
Hurriedly entering the gate of the academy, Zhang Lingfeng, accompanied by a group of senior generals of the academy, soon arrived at the tactical training ground. As far as the eye can see, there is not a single figure in the entire exercise ground.
"What the hell are this old boy and that stinky boy doing?" Zhang Lingfeng's brows furrowed when he didn't see the expected hot training scene.
When I entered the camp, the smell of wine wafted over with bursts of laughter.
The high-ranking officials couldn't help but look at each other, and Zhang Lingfeng's face suddenly became ugly.
Following the aroma of wine, the group walked into a small quiet courtyard. This is a place where high-ranking military officials rest and eat here after conducting tactical discussions on weekdays.
"Elder Du, have another drink and celebrate our achievements in advance!"
"One cup won't work, three cups, and three cups per person!"
"Old man, you have to drink this wine today, and you have to drink it if you don't drink it, if you don't fall down, my brothers won't give up!
"Stinky boy, you are uneasy and kind! I'm going to get very drunk, who will witness your miracle tomorrow?" Du Yu laughed, but the wine was drunk one after another.
"Old man Du, the surprise you gave me is really not small!" Zhang Lingfeng looked at the scene in front of him with a smile and sighed.
A sigh disrupted the chaotic banquet. Several young officers stood there with wine glasses in their hands, looking at the group of generals who had suddenly arrived with embarrassment...... There were so many stars shining that they felt an invisible pressure.
"Lao Zhang, what are you doing here?" In this situation, even Du Yu felt a fever on his face. After all, the gap between the reality and what he said to Zhang Lingfeng seems to be a bit big.
Only one person maintained a detached composure.
"General Zhang, it's just in time, let's have two glasses together?" Zhu Xiaoqi raised his eyes and glanced at a group of generals, got up with a smile and held a wine glass, and raised it towards everyone, "Tomorrow, your soldiers will go to the battlefield to create a new history of the Tianlong Army!"
"What about my soldiers?" asked Zhang Changfeng with a wry smile.
"They'......re all drunk," Zhu Xiaoqi replied.
Zhang Lingfeng only felt that the world was spinning for a while.
Nima, Old Man Du, Zhu Xiaoqi, do you dare to be a little more pitiful?
He was joking. Du Yu looked at Zhu Xiaoqi with a complaining face, stepped forward and pulled Zhang Lingfeng to sit down. "Let's drink a glass of wine first to suppress the shock, and I'll take you to review the troops!"
