war!

It is the mainstream of human history, and peace... has never been.

From the time when there were humans, from the primitive tribe era, the battle between tribes, and later the war between city-states, and then to the conquest between countries.

In the history of human civilization, war never ceased. War brought death and killing. I don’t know how many famous countries and ethnic groups were eliminated in the long river of history. In fact, they were defeated, either the nation was integrated or they were killed.

Although war has destroyed human civilization again and again, it is also war that has promoted the progress of human civilization.

In order to defend the ethnic group and continue civilization, soldiers were born.

The history of any nation is itself an epic of war, and in this epic, soldiers are the protagonists.

As a country that has experienced the pain of destruction of the world, the Ming Empire knew the importance of force more than other countries. From Nanhua to the Empire, under the step-by-step promotion of Emperor Zhu, the Ming Empire had the best army in the world.

This army not only has nearly one million well-trained army and navy, but also has elite troops that other countries have never had.

The Army Assault Corps is the only airborne soldier in the world. Since its establishment, this special forces with a size of only 2,000 people is the sharpest sharp knife in the empire.

Just this knife!

Never showed anyone.

As usual, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Army Assault Corps were training in the scorching sun, Zhang Pengju, the captain of the Assault Corps, was riding with Chief of Staff Han Chengjie, sitting in a second-class private room, drinking and chatting.

"So, do you remember the question His Majesty once asked?"

Zhang Pengju used a bayonet to prick a piece of meat and said directly.

"How do you write the word Wu?"

"Stop the sword and make the martial arts."

Han Chengjie took a sip of red wine and said.

"You want to ask the next question."

"That's right, it's the next sentence "Stop the sword and make the martial arts". This sentence is known to everyone. That is to say, when the word "created" was first believed that those who can stop war were considered "martial". The meaning of the existence of force is to maintain peace. This is also the value of the existence of soldiers! Maintain peace!"

"But there is another sentence - the beauty of the lamb is the soup. Haha, these four words are the key. Stopping the sword and the martial arts are just a wish for beauty. But if you really stop the sword, then all the people in the world will be fat lambs, which is the food of foreign races!"

"Stop the sword and be the martial arts, and beauties are the soup."

These eight words are four lines quoted by Emperor Zhu from the Song Dynasty's "Xiezi Yin" "People's words are faithful, the sun and the moon are bright, the sword is martial, and the beauty of the lamb is soup."

After re-understanding the eight characters that seem to be "Xiezi", Emperor Zhu gave it a new meaning. This poem "Xiezi Yin" is also a poem that must be learned in the imperial primary school. It is essentially to remind everyone that forgetting war will lead to danger.

When the words fell, Zhang Pengqi waved his hand vigorously.

"So, the empire's policy over the years is very simple - it is that it will never compromise when facing war. If I expected it, the "Cuban crisis" will definitely turn into war! Come and have a drink for this matter!"

After saying that, they drank it all in one go.

As soldiers, of course they long for war. Only in the war can they show the value of life. They used a knife to raise a small piece of fried steak, chewed a bite of onion, and then Han Chengjie said:

"If it is indeed a good thing for us, as you said, you may soon become a brigade general. If that is the case, it will be a lucky one!"

He strengthened his tone and said the word "but".

"What you need to notice is that the British also intervened in this "Cuban crisis". If the empire decides to start a war, it will definitely be a full-scale war! So, I think the possibility of a war is not high. After all, now is not the best time to start a war."

"Haha! Old Han, look, if we weren't going to start the war, why should we come here!"

He gave a wink and looked around the box.

"A sophisticated telegram summoned us to the General Staff, why... Anyway, have another drink! I dare say, it's our turn this time!"

They drank it all in one go.

Unbuttoned the collar of the military uniform, loosened the belt, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said:

"But, Lao Han, what task do you think you will give us?"

"Raising."

Han Chengjie replied thoughtfully.

"Yes, this is a very obvious fact. What we are best at is raids!"

Zhang Pengju said with some expectations:

"What do you think? Will there be any mobilization? Where will we use it?"

"I think...well... Generally speaking, there should be such a possibility, but we can't guess it if we don't have a place."

He leaned over on the table again, poured red wine seriously, and started to eat fried steak.

"According to me, it's another matter if you can guess it, but since we're here this time, we must use it,"

Zhang Pengju approached the table and started eating fried steak again.

At this time, they seemed to be full of expectations for this trip to Zhongdu. For a while, they ate silently. Zhang Pengju ate with an appetite, but Han Chengjie barely picked up a piece of meat with a fork. He finally pushed the basin away.

It's not that it tastes bad, but that it's that something is in mind.

More than an hour later, the two of them finally arrived at the General Staff. As soon as they entered the General Staff, an officer led them to the office of Chief of Staff Zhao Shiji. The Imperial Chief of Staff who had studied in Prussia was still handling official duties when they came in. During this period, he picked up the phone and said to the phone.

"Notify the Northwest War Zone and prepare to implement the "Red Plan"."

The Northwest War Zone is ready to implement the "Red Plan"!

The news revealed by these simple words made Zhang Pengju and Xu Chengjie tremble. Although they didn't know what the "Red Plan" was, they knew where the Northwest War Zone was.

“Is it going smoothly along the way?”

After putting down the phone, Zhao Shiji still looked at the documents on the desktop and asked without raising his head.

"Report to the Chief, everything goes well!"

"Well, you have two days."

What?

Before Zhang Pengju could ask questions, he saw the chief pressing a document forward.

"There is an action plan here. You can study it and give me a feasibility plan in two days!"

After saying that, Zhao Shiji said as if he had been through the past, with a rare word as gold.

"Okay, go down!"

The officer who greeted them said to them as the two walked out of the chief's office.

"Two officers, the rooms have been arranged, please follow me..."
