"Ah, this is the life I want as a deputy commander!" Zi Chuanxiu looked with satisfaction at the luxuriously renovated and spacious office, the majestic large desk (with fine wine and pornographic books hidden in the dark cabinet), and the comfortable

Sitting on a leather chair, you can even loudly give orders to the beautiful female secretary in a miniskirt: "Take down the diary from 10 years ago on the top of the cabinet!" When she climbs onto the stool, Zichuan Xiu will hold her up.

Hold your chin up and your head to appreciate it with concentration... We are all men, there is no need to explain it so clearly!

And the work is not hard - Zi Chuanxiu, the deputy commander, is obviously not taken seriously. The main job every day is to count how many chairs and teacups are left in each legion, and if the glass window is broken, send someone to repair it, etc. -

- Although Director Geshan did not give Zichuan Xiu a commission and important responsibilities, at least he did not give him unfair and discriminatory treatment.

Zi Chuanxiu sighed: "Heaven!"

Suddenly his eyes discovered some "things" that should not be in heaven.

"Roger, Baichuan, Changchuan, why are you in my office?"

"Oh sir, you forgot, we are your "Assistants to the Deputy Director"!"

"Isn't that what I said - don't you have your own office? No matter what..."

"Forget it, our office is narrow and shabby, and the lighting is not good!"

“That’s right, there’s not even air conditioning!”

"The female secretary is as ugly as a demon—Sir, have you seen "Midnight Terror"? You don't need to go to the cinema to buy tickets, just come to our office and see our secretary."

"And that, they don't serve Coca-Cola!"

"Sir, you know, we are Hatamoto - in the Far East, a Hatamoto is a high-ranking official in charge of hundreds of thousands of people!"

“But here, we are worse than the refugees who are petitioning!”

…

Zi Chuanxiu felt dizzy after hearing this: "Don't make any noise, don't make any noise - then why is Zi Chuan Ning here?"

Zichuan Ning replied calmly: "Oh, I came to inspect the work of the administrative office as the heir of the family - is there any problem with Deputy Director Xiuchuan?"

"Then why is Princess Cardan here too?"

"Brother! You are so selfish. You all go out to play, and you leave a girl alone at home. How lonely it is - don't you feel guilty? Doesn't your conscience condemn you?"

"When people see so many people gathering here, they will have opinions..."

"Oh, Mr. Xiuchuan, then you don't have to worry!" Cardin casually hung a sign saying "The meeting is in progress, please do not disturb." on the door: "The worst case is, let them say: "Deputy Director Xiuchuan will open in a week.

"We will meet in seven days." and I will praise you for your enthusiasm for your job!"

"Hell!" Zi Chuanxiu shouted desperately.

"Axiu, what hell are you shouting about?" Sterling appeared at the door and said with a smile: "I'm disturbing everyone's meeting!"

"Where is it!" Everyone stood up to welcome him, but Cardin sat still.

※※※

Since saying goodbye that day, Sterling has visited Zichuan Ning's house almost every day. Everyone is not stupid, and naturally they soon understood that the reason why Sir Sterling visits frequently is not just because of his close friendship with Mr. Xiuchuan——

What's more, the person involved, Sterling, didn't hide much about it: as soon as he arrived at Zichuan Ning's house, he opened his eyes wide and looked around. He didn't feel relieved until he found Cardin's silhouette and let out a long sigh of relief.

Roger once sighed and said to Bai Chuan: "Look at Master Sterling, he looks like a middle school student who has fallen in love - he has lost his head."

Bai Chuan replied: "The idea is yours, everyone is a prisoner of emotion, no one can escape it." Then he fell into thoughtful contemplation...

It's just that Cardin, the second person involved, seems to be unaware of Sterling's infatuation. He sees him when he comes and doesn't stay when he leaves - he treats him no different from other people. He won't reject people thousands of miles away, but he doesn't respond with any enthusiasm.

Sterling is a celebrity in the imperial capital, and this matter should have caused a sensation, but under Zi Chuanxiu's high pressure: he summoned the servants and subordinates at home and viciously threatened: "Whoever doesn't want to live, just tell them!" Even

Regarding Zi Chuan Ning, he also rarely took up his brother's arrogance and strictly forbade her from revealing a single word to her handkerchief Li Qing - so this matter was fortunately not leaked out of Zi Chuan Ning's mansion.

※※※

Everyone watched with smiles as Sterling walked in unconsciously. Nagakawa, who was sitting next to Cardin, quickly moved out of the way: "Sit down, sir!" Sterling also sat down politely, as if this was the case.

It's a perfectly natural thing - even the always shameless Zichuan Xiu had to admire this person's thick skin.

"What are you talking about?" Sterling was talking about everyone, looking only at Cardin.

Cardin did not answer, but Murasaki Hidedai replied: "We are talking about the war situation in the Far East Imperial Forest!" and handed over a newspaper.

In fact, Sterling had already read it, but he pretended to read it for the first time, saying "Yes" in his mouth, as if the news was very interesting. After a few minutes, he asked: "What do you think?

Woolen cloth?"

"We all believe that Di Lin is in a bad situation." Roger replied first, hoping to give his idol a shrewd image: "We go deep alone, with no backup; strong enemies block the way, and we can't move forward."

"Well, Axiu, do you think so too?" Sterling looked at Zichuanxiu, their eyes met, and they immediately understood what the other person meant.

Zi Chuanxiu said softly: "No, I think that at this time, Di Linzhan has a proactive strategic advantage."

Sterling said curtly: "Same feeling!"

"Why?" several voices asked at the same time.

Zichuan Xiu smiled: "You only see that facing Sterling to the east is the Gemara city, where 200,000 demon troops are stationed, guarded by the famous general Yun Qianxue, but it is said to be as solid as heaven, so

Dilin will definitely have to attack Gemara, and it will definitely be impossible to capture it - right?"

Sterling said: "But what if Dilin does not attack Gemara? For example, he can turn around and launch an attack on the weakly defended Ika city in the southeast - capture Ika city, Dilin

You can contact the garrison led by Deputy Commander Lei Bang in the southeast, and you don’t have to worry about back roads and reinforcements. At the same time, you can completely isolate the nearly 5,000 square kilometers of demon territory, and you can slowly and gradually eat it away..."

Zi Chuanxiu said: "If Di Lin does not attack Ika City, he can march to the Guosen Grassland in the northeast and occupy the Guosen Grassland - which is equivalent to taking away the origin of the demons' magic crystal stones and walking dragons. Emperor

Lin Da can use the captured walking dragons and magic stones to build a 100,000-strong magic dragon cavalry force - then the demons will be even more miserable."

Sterling: "Even if Dilin doesn't attack Guosen, he can directly surround Kamala with his superior force. The two hundred thousand people waiting for Yun Qianxue will be too hungry and surrender obediently."

There was silence. Baichuan said hesitantly: "But there must be a condition, that is, Dilin's legion support supplies must be continuously transported, and he is not afraid of being cut off from food and grass. Otherwise, he will not be able to fight for a long time. But now there are thousands

How can we protect a kilometer-long transportation line within the territory of the demon clan?"

Zi Chuanxiu and Sterling looked at each other and smiled bitterly together.

Sterling said as if he was using his words carefully: "This problem is indeed a difficult problem for you and me - but for Di Lin, it is not a problem at all. This may be the difference between famous generals and mediocre generals."

There was an unspeakable dryness in his tone.

Zichuan Xiu also smiled bitterly: "This has nothing to do with ability, it is purely a matter of concept - you don't have to be too down on yourself."

Everyone didn't understand. They looked at Zi Chuanxiu, hoping he would explain.

Zi Chuanxiu sighed and said only one sentence: "Plunder on the spot to solve the food and grass problem."

Everyone understood: In order to fight for a long time, Di Lin would send out various detachments to plunder all the food that could fill the fields, villages, towns, and cities. He would never let his soldiers starve.

In this way, if Dilin can sustain it for two months, Yun Qianxue, who is trapped in the city, will definitely not be able to sustain it for three weeks.

Cardin screamed: "What about our civilians? Let them starve to death like this?"

All the officers of the Zichuan family in the room turned their heads, not daring to look into the girl's bright eyes. Only Roger muttered twice: "War is cruel..." but no one paid him any attention.

※※※

"The feeling just now was really sinful." When Zichuanxiu and Sterling were the only ones left in the room, Zichuanxiu whispered: "I was just talking happily and almost forgot that Cardin was from over there."

Sterling just sighed.

Zi Chuanxiu: "If it were someone else, I would still have a lot of reasons to fight back against him: "Don't you see that the demons have bullied us for hundreds of years? Such a small reward doesn't even count as interest!"

But when I saw Cardin’s eyes, I couldn’t say anything…”

Sterling still sighed.

"To be honest, if Di Lin is doing this in the Far East, this mess will be difficult to clean up in the future." Zi Chuanxiu said: "He only cared about temporary convenience and killed all the prisoners. Who will dare to surrender to us in the future? The only way is to fight to the end.

.Also, I really can’t agree with the massacre of civilians and plundering people’s food – if we lose the support of the people, how can our family gain a foothold in the Far East?”

Sterling was speechless, thinking of Dilin's voice full of domineering and courage: "I don't need the support of those untouchables, I just need their fear and obedience! In the final analysis, the reason why we can control the Far East is not relying on popular votes and elections, but relying on

It’s the sword in our hands!”

In fact, Sterling did not approve of Di Lin's violent behavior in his heart, but Di Lin was their elder brother after all. Zi Chuanxiu, the younger brother, could complain, but from the standpoint of his second brother, it was inconvenient to condemn.

He sighed again.

"Sterling, please stop sighing like a harem and say something."

"What's the latest news? I'm talking about your place in the Imperial Capital."

"There is nothing new. First, Yang Minghua did not agree to replace Minghui's border guards with new equipment, and as a result, that batch of equipment fell into the hands of Lei Xun's Central Army; second, our section chief Ge Shan quarreled with Luo Minghai over this matter

After a while, he said that Yang Minghua should not break the convention. New equipment has always been provided to the border guards first - I am a little confused about this old maid's position."

"Oh, is there such a thing? It seems I can do some work on her, maybe I can win her over."

Zi Chuanxiu glanced at Sterling sideways, looking very strange.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Pervert, please restrain yourself from chasing girls, okay? If you like Cardin, don't do it so blatantly. I'm afraid the news will spread... I can't suppress it anymore!"

Sterling was speechless.

"Does Li Qing know?"
