Chapter 486: The War Expands
This time, Zhang Hao did not follow the ship, but dealt with the domestic situation wholeheartedly.
When the battleship departed, Zhang Hao also went to the imperial capital and participated in many discussions in the country, especially on military construction. In the face of such an unprecedented war, there are still many things to deal with at home.
Don't look at it, it's only been a few days, but the front line is already broken. The number of dead and wounded is unknown. Whether it is the Ocean Group or the country of Qixia, there is war intelligence on the front line. If the country of Qixia wants to directly intervene in the war on the front line, it also needs to be fully prepared.
In fact, the army of the country of Qixia has not yet been dispatched, and the 200,000 elites who have just gathered have begun to lose their temper.
In the past few years, the country of Qixia has fought continuously and suffered great losses. Finally, the country is stable, and it still has to fight - and most importantly, it has to leave the country thousands of miles away to fight for others!
The soldier must have been in a mood.
Gu Xingdong tried to appease but failed, and finally submitted the question to the empress.
"I'll go!" Zhang Hao took over the task.
"How are you going to appease them?" Liu Xinyu was a little worried. That's an army of 200,000, and after receiving this trouble, Liu Xinyu frowned a little. She didn't expect the army to lose its temper at this time.
Any ruler understands a truth: he is not afraid of the anger of the officials, nor of the people, but of the army!
If the official loses his temper, it's good to appease him, it's a big deal to give some benefits. Most of the officials and others are smart people who can be solved in clever ways.
The people lost their temper...... Just kill a few thorns. For the rest, giving a little promise and benefits is enough to settle the balance, in short, sweet dates and sticks.
But the soldier lost his temper...... These guys are hot-headed and don't listen to anything. In the event of a mutiny, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhang Hao smiled, "Isn't it just 200,000 troops?" How many people in the Dayang Group are not all arranged by me safely! These soldiers are much easier to pacify than those businessmen!"
"Then be careful. Liu Xinyu said worriedly.
"Rest assured. ”
Zhang Hao arrived in the East by train, and it was Hu Yinglan who followed Zhang Hao. Hu Yinglan can be seen as the empress's 'eyes and ears', where there is Hu Yinglan, it means that the empress is paying attention, and Hu Yinglan's words almost represent the empress's words - provided that Liu Xinyu grants this right.
Needless to say, this time Hu Yonglan was of course authorized by Liu Xinyu.
The train stopped at the "One Line of Heaven" checkpoint in the east, which is also where the army gathered. As soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Hao frowned a little.
A large amount of materials gathered around the train were not transported, and they were piled up in pieces. Including dangerous shells, etc., just throw them away at will.
But Zhang Hao thought about it and shook his head. After all, he is not the commander-in-chief of the military, and he is not qualified to directly reprimand. However, at this point, I have to react to Wu Fanghai, Liu Xinyu and others.
Whether the army is strong or not also has a bearing on the safety of the Dayang Group. If something goes wrong in the country of Qixia, the Ocean Group will inevitably be implicated.
When Zhang Hao saw Gu Xingdong, Gu Xingdong was scratching his ears and cheeks, helpless in the face of the 200,000 chaotic army in front of him.
What is the concept of a 200,000-strong army? Standing on the top of a mountain, you can't even see the edge. All you can see is the black crowd, which stretches to the end of the line of sight like a black ocean.
At this time, the sea is full of uneasiness. Everywhere, there was a noisy crowd.
The army is still waiting, which is already commendable, and this is already the foundation laid by the successive victories of the country of Qixia.
However, after seeing such an army, Zhang Hao still frowned a little: "General Gu, the soldiers are making trouble...... It's a bit excessive, isn't it? Is it secretly provoked?"
Gu Xingdong sighed: "It can already be determined that someone is secretly provoking. All kinds of gossip and so on, which arose almost overnight, spread among the army in less than a day, and I didn't even have time to block it.
But so far, it has not been possible to find the source of the information. It's too messy.
Isn't it...... Troublesome?"
Zhang Hao looked at the noisy army, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a smile, "Of course there is trouble, but more than that, I have to thank the other party." It is better to expose the problem in advance than to be exposed on the battlefield.
What are the rumors and the soldiers most worried about now?"
Gu Xingdong said with a serious face: "There are a lot of rumors, but there are three that really have an impact on the soldiers:
First, this war was caused by several countries in the East, why should our country of Qixia go to wipe their butts.
Second, when we go on an expedition for thousands of miles, we are unfamiliar with the place of life, and it is taboo for soldiers! We know almost nothing about the situation on the front line, and once we rush to the battlefield, we will immediately plunge into a big battle, and we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Third, a war thousands of miles away, even if we win, is meaningless. Because we are compensated with up to 20% of the arms. The Xuanzhen Sect promised a reward after victory, but it didn't even have a detailed reward rules and regulations!
In addition, there are many rumors, which add up to a lot of impact. For example, the front-line logistics supply is difficult, the injured rescue is not timely, and the water and soil are not adapted.
It is even said that the Xuanzhen Sect wants to use us as cannon fodder. ”
Zhang Hao nodded, "I understand." The trouble general shouted to everyone to be quiet for a while. Also, my voice may be a little small, not enough to cover 200,000 troops, the general will do me a favor. ”
"No problem!" Gu Xingdong nodded, and then roared: "Everyone is quiet, Zhang Hao, Minister of the State Ocean Development and President of Dayang Group, is here." I have a few words to say to everyone!"
Gu Xingdong shouted three times, and his voice echoed between heaven and earth. The tumultuous legion was silent for a moment.
Zhang Hao flew into the air and shouted: "I am Zhang Hao." I don't need to introduce you!"
Zhang Hao's voice spread with the help of Gu Xingdong.
Under the gaze of 200,000 pairs of eyes, Zhang Hao held his head high and talked eloquently: "I heard that everyone has some opinions on this war. It's okay, I'll talk to you. If you are still unwilling to fight in the end, I will personally go to the Xuanzhen Sect to mediate!"
After a pause, Zhang Hao glanced around and made sure that everyone was starting to be completely quiet before continuing, "If I say that the current country of Qixia is a big country. Do you agree?
Please answer yes or no!"
Fragmentary sounds could be heard below.
Zhang Hao suddenly roared: "Be louder!
"Yes!" 200,000 people shouted in unison, and the sound soared into the sky, and the clouds in the sky were all scattered!
"Very good! What you want is this momentum! You have unprecedented brilliance in you, you have destroyed four countries, and the persecuted country of Zhongshan has directly disintegrated. You are the most powerful army I have ever seen.
However, let me ask one more question, is the country of Qixia a strong country?"
This time, the answer was confusing. Some said yes, some said no, and many more remained silent.
Zhang Hao waited for about three minutes, but more than 200,000 people were silent.
Zhang Hao finally spoke again: "Everyone's expressions have already given me the answer." Now the country of Qixia is a big country, our land is 15,000 miles wide, our navigation line is more than 150,000 kilometers, our land not only includes land, but also the sea!
We are now the largest country in the Fertile Continent!
However, we are not a strong country!
We only have three phases of incarnation. And the entire Qixia Country is only one of the dozens of countries within the scope of the Xuanzhen Sect. ”
"What is the duty of the army? Defend the homeland and the country? No, not only defend the homeland and defend the country! It is also necessary to make a name for itself abroad! At present, the route of the country of Qixia has exceeded 150,000 kilometers. But our military influence is still limited to the country. ”
"What is a strong country? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I gave myself an idea.
One day in the future, everyone in our country of Qixia can walk in every corner of the world with their heads held high, no one dares to bully, and we can do anything within the scope of law and morality.
I hope that one day in the future, our children and grandchildren will be able to hold their heads high and say to the world: We are from the land of Qixia!
Do you want to live in a country like this?"
There were sporadic sounds from below.
"I can't hear you!"
"Yes!" this time, a roar erupted like a wave.
"Very good!" Zhang Hao shouted, "I can't just think about it, I have to do it!"
Now our naval officers are blazing a trail. They went north to Liuli Island and south to the Continent of Turbulence, galloping on the green sea of death. Now, it is trying to open up the route with the East.
Our workers, who are working overtime, are producing large quantities of military equipment to provide material guarantees for the country.
So what can we do?"
"What we want to do is to show our majesty! Let others know the strength of the country of Qixia!
What is patriotism is to do one's own things well and fulfill one's responsibilities. This time the scale of the war is beyond the phenomenon, and what we should do is to stop the war from the outside of the country! We must extinguish the war before it burns to the mainland!
We are not fighting this time, not for any Xuanzhen Sect, let alone to wipe our butts for the country of Shaoze and the country of Canglan. Rather, to show our strength!
Let everyone take a look and see the current country of Qixia. Make others fear!
Of course, there will still be many difficulties in going to war thousands of miles away, such as logistical supply, etc., but we will resupply by sea. The battleship departed directly from Black Scale Island and arrived at the front line. The wounded of the war, etc., will also be sent back by battleships. ”
"Now, if anyone is unwilling to go to war, please come out. As long as more than two adults are unwilling to participate in the war, I will go to the Xuanzhen Sect to mediate this matter!"
Zhang Hao's voice echoed between heaven and earth. But no one was on the list.
Before, everyone didn't know why they were fighting. But now it's different. The spirit of the soldiers has changed dramatically!
We want to stop wars abroad! We want to make a name for ourselves in the world! We want the country of Qixia to become a 'great power'!
Gradually, the 200,000-strong army erupted in a roar:
War!
The sound is like a wave, and a thousand mountains tremble.
