Chapter Thirteen, Section Four
Di Lin laughed loudly: "You finally thought of it! If the third brother was here, I'm afraid he would understand it as soon as I said it! In fact, it didn't take long from the beginning to the implementation of this matter: it was in the Far East last time During the war, the demons came with overwhelming force, and everyone was stunned and in chaos. At that time, I thought of this problem: relying on cavalry messengers to communicate is too slow and unsafe, and can easily be intercepted and destroyed by the enemy. If we have With a faster communication network, the situation would be completely different. Take the last Far East War as an example. If we placed a few carrier pigeon correspondents on the border, and they would immediately send a report as soon as the demon army crossed the border, then The Far East Command had at least three to five days of warning, so why did they fight so awkwardly?"
Sterling nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He also knew the situation at that time. Although the main reason for the failure was that the demon army was too strong, his own command errors were also an important reason. Each unit fought independently and became a mess. Not only If you don’t know where the enemy is, you don’t even know where your friendly forces are. How can you not be defeated if you play like this?
He imagined: If there had been this communication network at that time, it would have been a completely different situation - of course, the balance of power is that the enemy is strong and we are weak. The demons have been planning for a long time and are coming menacingly. To win, it is very difficult. Difficult.
But if you are prepared, you can at least hold on to a few important lines of defense. You can do internal defense along the Gray Water River and Blue River, or you can retreat a little more... If it is more prudent, you can simply save the main force and return all to Valen. At the very least, you wouldn't have to rely on yourself to risk your life and attract the attention of the demons to save millions of people!
Sterling sincerely admired and said: "Really, your initiative is more valuable than twenty reorganized divisions! Brother, you are a genius!" While admiring, he was also secretly surprised: building such a huge one The project is bound to use a lot of manpower, material resources, and funds, and involves the operation of countless departments. However, as the person in charge of the Military Affairs Office, he has no idea about this... For some reason, he has a faint fear. feeling.
He hesitated and asked: "How did you do it? Really, for such a big project, we didn't hear any news beforehand."
Di Lin avoided answering and said lightly: "Well, our Supervisory Office itself is responsible for intelligence and confidentiality. If you all know, then we don't have to mess around." He immediately changed the topic and asked: "Do you have any There is no news about the third brother."
As soon as he mentioned this, Sterling became troubled: "No. It's strange. I have asked Mr. Lin Bing from Valencia to help me keep an eye on it, and she agreed, but there has been no news recently."
Di Lin: "I have more information on this than you do. According to the intelligence office, the headquarters of the demon clan has issued a personnel notice, saying that the third brother will soon replace Lei Hong as the governor of the Far East."
Sterling nodded: "I already know this. Was it last month?"
"Oh, there's one more thing you probably don't know yet? Three days ago, Baichuan and several of his third brother's subordinates took Xiuziying troops to Wallen Fortress to request entry - they wanted to go home, but were stopped by Wallen. Commander Lin Bing refused."
Sterling cheered up: "Where are they? I want to see them!"
"I also wanted to see them, but there was no way. After being rejected by Lin Bing, Warren's military judge Lu Zhen wanted to kill them. They were scared away and never came back." Di Lin cursed fiercely: "Lu That idiot, who did such a stupid thing, actually scared away such an important witness, and then proudly reported it to me! Sooner or later, I will send him as a death squad."
"Oh," Sterling looked a little sad and asked again: "Did they say anything? Did they say anything about the whereabouts of the third brother? Is he really..." He couldn't continue, and the word "treason" was swallowed. in the throat.
Di Lin shook his head: "Before leaving, they had a few minutes of contact and conversation with Lin Bing - this was reported by Lu Zhen, but Lin Bing himself firmly refused to admit it, saying that he had never met these people at all. I Guess, she may have some scruples about my identity as inspector general and dare not tell the truth. It would be better for you to come forward and talk to her privately about this matter. You saved her and Luobo when they broke the siege of Varun. She owes you a favor and might tell you the truth."
Sterling nodded: "I will send a messenger to Warren tomorrow."
Di Lin picked up the cup: "According to my analysis, Axiu is likely to be framed by the demons."
Sterling said calmly: "Actually, from beginning to end, I never believed that Axiu would rebel. He is not that kind of person. What new evidence did you find?"
"Well, that personnel announcement from the Demon Clan is too suspicious. Think about it, even if Axiu really surrendered to the Demon Clan, it would only be a matter of one or two months. How could the Demon Clan take the Far East? Why would such an important position as governor be given to a newly arrived defector instead of appointing Lei Hong, who had made great contributions to them? Why did Asiu attract the attention of the demons? He has neither money nor soldiers, so he has no choice. You can’t compete with Lei Hong’s seniority, who has a lot of troops.”
"By the way, I want to tell you that I met Lei Hong when I went to negotiate last time. This guy is so arrogant now that he actually has the qualifications to hang out in front of the Demon God Emperor. This doesn't make sense. It's most likely that the demons are trying to confuse us. A smokescreen."
Sterling listened carefully, but sighed: "What you said makes sense, but this can only be regarded as an indirect analysis."
"Yes, I know that if you want to convince the commander-in-chief and the command office, the above reasons alone are not enough.
We still need stronger evidence, it would be great if we could kidnap a few senior officers of the demon clan."
Sterling shook his head: "Not to mention that this kind of thing is extremely dangerous, but if the demons deliberately framed Axiu, it must be extremely confidential. Ordinary military generals may not know the inside story..."
Di Lin smiled coldly: "It doesn't matter whether you know the inside story or not. As long as they fall into the hands of the Supervision Office, it's not up to us to tell them what to say. Then we can just make up the testimony at will."
Sterling's eyes widened in surprise, and then he understood. He felt that Dilin's approach was a bit crooked. But after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was no other good way: you can't catch the devil. The emperor comes to prove Zi Chuanxiu’s innocence?
He shook his head and sighed: "No matter what, the truth of the matter can only be understood when Axiu appears. Now that there is no news about Axiu for so long, I am really worried that he has..." He swallowed the unlucky words. .
Di Lin stood up, looked up at the eastern sky by the window, and murmured: "God bless me, I hope he is safe and sound."
In the eastern sky, a big star is shining brightly.
