Mingdu, the Imperial Palace.

The discussion on whether to launch a retaliatory action against the Heavenly Soul Empire has entered the final stage.

There is basically no need to ask much about the attitude of the army, and it is not really necessary to start a war immediately, and it makes little difference where it is to train.

If it's true...... Although the results of the annual self-inspection report are that the material reserves are intact, but their own family knows their own affairs, and the chaos of logistics accounts will definitely make people crazy if they don't squeeze the water.

Some people say that the army is the most anti-war and others say that the army is the most pro-war is the most pro-war sentence, and both of these statements are true from different perspectives, the former because the army is the first line in the face of heavy casualties, and the latter because the army opens the way to rapid promotion almost only during war.

For these ministers in the Mingdu Imperial Palace, the final decision basically depends only on the final opinion of the civil official group.

Now, this result has surfaced, after all, it is basically difficult to find a staunch anti-war faction in the Sun and Moon Empire - except for the first emperor, that is, and Caitou and his father, who can be called an old friend of the people of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

From the emperor to the common people, the difference in the attitude of the vast majority of people is only reflected in the "fanatical main war - support the war - do not support or oppose - you can fight if you want to, don't splash my blood".

In the whole hall, the most resolute opposition is only the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the big butler who needs to wipe his butt with the basket that needs to be poked out.

But when he found that none of the others seemed willing to stand up with him against it, he resigned himself to his fate.

The only thing that was a little surprising was that the Red Dust Hall Master, who had been pretending to be dead in the past, rarely showed such a little support, and asked for pressure on the Heavenly Soul Empire to punish the Ontology Sect - everyone knew that this was actually impossible to do.

As for the reason, everyone has more or less heard a little rumor in the past two days that someone has done something stupid to the wrong person in Shrek City.

"Ahem, although my words shouldn't have much effect, I still have to warn you." The Chancellor of the Exchequer said with a tired face after coming out.

"Although we nominally want to punish the Heavenly Soul Empire for Haotian Sect's attack on Mingde Hall, I believe that you should know who the real culprit is."

"I hope you grasp the scale, don't get out of control, and don't trick yourself into finding the wrong target......"

However, there was a sneer from the ranks of the ministers.

"You just put a hundred hearts, whether it is Haotian Sect or Ontology Sect, it is his Heavenly Soul Empire's after all, right! There is a debtor who is wronged, and you can find a good person! ”

"Yes, the house dog bites someone and runs away, we can't just go into someone else's yard and lift his kennel, then keep an eye on the dog owner! Tell him that no matter how good his dog is, the price will be compensated by the owner! If it is really stubborn, then consider whether to teach his dog a lesson for the owner! ”

"It's over, at most, it's just a vicious servant who has made a vendetta for his master, and it's too much for a dog."

Seeing that the hall was becoming a little noisy, the Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't help but smile bitterly at his colleagues.

Dog owner...... If the main master is not here, it is hard, but if the Title Douluo of the Hao Heavenly Sect or the Ontology Sect is here, these colleagues who speak wildly dare to say these words without changing their faces, he will definitely help them handle the aftermath with respect.

However, it has come to this point, and it is useless to say more.

"Ahem...... Well. ”

The old emperor coughed lightly, and the main hall, which had a tendency to change to the vegetable market, calmed down again.

"Since the words of the Qing Qing are sincere and have no different meanings, then let's do it according to the preface."

"The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Mentor Group still fulfills the responsibility of guarding the Ming Capital, the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group does not move, and there are still three of the five great protectors left, so choose two of them. The rest of the standing army was redeployed in accordance with this practice. ”

"The rest of the soul master group will take three out of five, and the location will be set up according to the suggestion of the Qing family, and it will be set up in the hometown of our country under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Every time I think of these remnants of our country who have been moaning under the iron hooves of the Heavenly Soul Empire for more than 4,000 years, and I can't wait for the king's expedition to the east, my heart is like a knife. ”

Two Protector Hand Level Soul Master Groups, three numbered Soul Master Groups, this is already half of the number of standing troops of the Sun and Moon Empire's Soul Master Regiment, not to mention that there is a corresponding proportion of ordinary army (artillery) teams (gray) will be mobilized accordingly - although the number of the former may be less than one percent of the latter, but the combat effectiveness of the field battle is ten times more than the latter.

In this era when soul masters and soul masters are fighting in the dark, the army formed by ordinary people may only play a little role as a gendarmerie to maintain stability, and go to the countryside to catch the chickens of the villagers.

Now that the decision has been made, it means that the state organs of the Sun and Moon Empire will all be turned around for this action.

The location of the military exercise is located near the former place ceded by the Sun and Moon Empire, which is currently under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Soul Empire, in the last continental war, and this is a place where human lives are required.

(Note: It is a very confusing thing whether the Sun and Moon Empire has cut the land or not, the statement in "Spirit Eye Youth One" is that "although the Sun and Moon Empire was defeated, it was not completely invaded", and "The First Academy of Douluo Continent" also mentioned that the Sun and Moon Empire was able to exist only after cutting land and paying compensation; But in fact, there is also a statement in the book that although the Sun and Moon Empire was defeated, it preserved the original land by provoking contradictions and its own strength)

(What's even more awesome is that Tang San mentioned in the introduction that "the continental collision caused by the crustal change more than 4,000 years ago not only increased the area of the Douluo Continent by more than double", that is to say, the area of the Sun and Moon Empire exceeded the sum of the Three Kingdoms, and as a result, in the first chapter, it became "The Sun and Moon Continent from the West is vast and rich in resources, slightly smaller than the Douluo Continent, but there is only one country, which is the Sun and Moon Empire", and even the area of the Sun and Moon Empire has become a quantum superposition)

(To sum up the full text, it is still inclined to the fact that the Sun and Moon Empire ceded the land during the First War; But from this, another strange point has arisen: Dou Ling does not border with the sun and the moon, and Xingluo and Sun and Moon use the naturally formed Ming Dou Mountain Range as the dividing line, which means that all the land cut by the Sun and Moon Empire has been ceded to the Heavenly Soul Empire - the Three Kingdoms fought to the end, and all the land was taken away by the Heavenly Soul whose strength was only in the middle! ）

If a certain eastern power claims to use 500,000 army forces and corresponding naval and air forces in Hujian or Northeast China to conduct exercises, it will not only surprise its allies, but also become the whole world if it can't sleep.

On the dragon chair, the old emperor closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then said:

"With such a posture to deter the Heavenly Soul Empire, can the direction of Xingluo be safe? Can the Mingdou Mountains still withstand the pressure? ”

The Minister of Military Affairs came out to answer:

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured, the Ming Dou Mountain Range will still arrange two standing soul master groups to be stationed, even if the Star Luo Emperor is crazy and wants to sneak attack, he will not be able to defeat the Ming Dou Mountain Range."

This is the truth, if you want to fight the Second Continental War, it seems that there are two directions of engagement - the junction of the Sun Moon Empire and the Heavenly Soul or the Star Luo Empire, but due to the existence of the Ming Dou Mountain Range, in fact, only the first direction is optional, and hundreds of thousands of troops crossing the Ming Dou Mountain Range to attack are unimaginable for any country, which is also confirmed by the last continental war.

The Sun Moon and the Star Luo Empire may be able to support one or two soul master groups to cross the Ming Dou Mountain Range's offensive operations, but it is impossible to support the logistics of more than 10,000 people, the Ming Dou Mountain Range is a two-way barrier, as long as you don't want to fight, it is equally reassuring for both sides. Although it is not impossible to crack this kind of logistics black hole - for example, using a few ninth-level custom soul guide shells to blow up a section of the mountain.

"That being the case, I believe that the secretaries will never let me down, how to implement the specific rules, the military and civil affairs must communicate carefully, and don't let people see jokes."

"For the Three Kingdoms and Shrek, be notified in place, don't let them misunderstand - if they can't listen to the good words, then let them go."

"The important people who are still stranded in the three countries, you should weigh up whether you should recall them or not...... Prince! ”

Although he was still calm on his face, Xu Tianran, who was already excited in his heart, immediately clenched his fists in the wheelchair: "Erchen is here!" ”

"I'm too old and frail to travel far away, so I'll let you supervise the army this time."

"Erchen...... Panic, how can military and political affairs go beyond the dictatorship? ”

After the routine process of resignation and resignation, seeing that the tired father's face was already showing impatience, Xu Tianran agreed with the ecstasy in his heart.

This is an opportunity to nominally command half of the standing army of the Sun and Moon Empire, and it is also witnessed by the old emperor and all the ministers, and the justifiable military power is granted, and it also represents a certain "handover" attitude of the emperor.

"Only the name and the instrument, not the dummy", now Xu Tianran has both, although he is basically only acting as the authority of his father, in fact, it is very empty.

"After this, what are my good brothers fighting with me?"

Xu Tianran knew that this time he had to do things as perfectly as possible, otherwise the backlash would be equally serious.

And, now that the resolution has been decided, some of the things he promised to the Holy Spirit Sect have also been fulfilled.

…………

Shrek Academy, outside the West Gate.

Huo Yuhao shook hands with Xiao Hongchen, Lin Xi and other exchange students one after another to say goodbye.

"Just leave, stay a few more days? In addition to Xu Sanshi, I actually made some other friends in Shrek, but I didn't have time to introduce them to you. ”

"Then there is no need, I have stayed in the library at home for so many days, in fact, it has exceeded the original arrangement a lot."

Huo Yuhao looked at the smile Hongchen in front of him who still had some regret on his face, and when he thought of the way he put his arm around Xu Sanshi's shoulder and introduced, "This is Xu Sanshi, my best buddy here", he still almost didn't hold back the expression on his face.

It's really outrageous, but the two of them say that they are friends with wine and meat, but there is really no sense of disobedience, after all, Xu Sanshi is really good at playing......

"The hall master doesn't know what's urgent, so let me hurry up and get back quickly. Anyway, in the past two days, I've handled the arrangement and the things that have been conveyed, and I believe you will be fine. ”

Huo Yuhao said as he remembered the instructions dictated by Jing Hongchen, the special envoy of Mingdu two days ago, asking him to "hurry up and return to Mingdu, but don't be too abnormal to make people suspicious", and his intuition told him that something might be wrong.

And why only rush me? Xiao Hongchen and Lin Xi are still so many exchange students here, no matter what? Don't have a plan?

"Tsk, okay, I know you can't come to see us on purpose, I hope you will have more time next time when you come to Shrek, and it's best not to leave in a hurry."

Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Hongchen's squinted eyes with a strange expression.

"You have to get it, you can't talk nonsense."

However, it is indeed time for Huo Yuhao to return to the Ming Capital, Shrek's research literature on soul beasts is indeed very useful, and he even has a preliminary idea, just waiting for a chance to verify.

In other words...... He had to go back to Mingdu to communicate with Jing Hongchen and them, and strive for resource support for the first phase of soul research.

Xiao Hongchen and Lin Xi and the others waved goodbye to Huo Yuhao, who left in a hurry, but Huo Yuhao thought of Jing Hongchen's somewhat abnormal order, and couldn't help but pray for them silently.

"I hope they're okay......"
