The abandoned fields are overgrown with weeds.

Under the night, two black shadows rustled through the grass, stooped, and climbed onto the roof of a farm tool house.

Because of the civil war, the nearby farmland has been abandoned for a whole year. Looking around, there are half-man-high thatch everywhere. Except for the farm tool house submerged in the weeds and broken tractors scattered everywhere, there are very few

It is difficult to tell that this place was once one of the large-scale planting farms in the Eastern Plains, the largest food production base in the Red Earth Continent.

"Night Telescope."

"Give."

Taking the binoculars from her companion, the female scout in camouflage uniform looked at the distant horizon.

Searchlights were shining in all directions, and the faint roar of construction machinery could be heard.

In the green night vision goggles, a large number of excavating machinery and workers wearing hard hats appeared.

"Oh my god, guess what I saw, the sand people are building fortifications!"

"Aren't they going to attack the Principality of Nice?"

"Maybe their purpose is not here at all."

"Withdraw, and report the situation to Shangfeng immediately!"

"good!"

The two moved their bodies, slid down from the roof, and then hid in the thatch that was half a person tall, and retreated towards the back.

Not long after the news from the front came back, the southern commander Bai Yefenghua and the northern commander Lacey both returned to Sanchahe City to discuss countermeasures with Chen Xing.

A few days before the army was launched, the two top commanders left the team. This was not because they deserted, but because the situation of the battle had changed. It was thought that Qingguo and Saudi Arabia would continue to attack, but the troops of the two countries stopped their offensive in unison.

, built a defense line in place, and seemed to have no intention of going deeper.

The location where the two countries built their defense lines was an hourglass-shaped strategic location with a wide mouth facing a narrow mouth.

This kind of terrain is very beneficial to the defender, especially when fighting a large army group with a size of one million. Simply put, the narrow mouth is not conducive to the deployment and passage of large troops, but the defender occupies a wide terrain and can fully deploy its troops and move through them.

Fan-shaped fire blocks the narrow opening.

Usually the attacker needs to pay two or three times the price to break through the blockade.

But the hourglass-shaped strategic location is a double-edged sword, that is, no matter which side attacks, it will pay a heavy price.

The current situation is that the Qing Kingdom and the Saudi Kingdom are holding on to the key narrow opening and will not advance further.

"Can you tell us why Lumsden suddenly expressed his support for you?" Lacey looked at Chen Xing and asked.

"This..." Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and found that Bai Yefenghua was also looking at him, and seemed to care about the answer.

"Actually, I have wanted to ask before, but I have never had the right opportunity." Lacey paused and then said, "I heard that many of our shipping merchant ships have been seized by the fleets of Qingguo or Saudi Arabia in the past few days.

Already."

"What do you mean, I didn't understand." The amount of information was too much, and Chen Xing was a little confused.

"It seems they are preparing to force us to come to the negotiation table." Bai Yefenghua said, knocking on the table.

"I knew this would be the result from the time they started building fortifications." Lacey praised the passage.

"Hey, you two..." Chen Xing looked at the two women and said in a bad tone, "Are your wings stiff?"

The conversation between the two women was unclear and completely excluded him, which made him very unhappy.

"I don't dare." Bai Yefenghua quickly stood up and apologized. Lacey also stood up, bowed slightly, and expressed her apology.

"Qingguo and Shaguo built fortifications to prepare for a complete blockade of us."

"Including the seizure of commercial ships, it is also part of the blockade."

"Completely cut off our transportation channels." Bai Yefenghua explained.

"What's the point of this?" Chen Xing asked doubtfully. The Ambergris River Basin is known as the "darling of heaven". It has fertile land and rich resources. In addition to being self-sufficient, it can also export a lot of food and resources every year, and there is no need for imports from abroad.

"In the past year or so, we have been in a state of civil war, and many plantations have been affected and have been abandoned."

"Since June last year, we have been eating strategic grain reserves."

"Once the blockade lasts too long and there is no food import from abroad, Ambergris River will face a food shortage crisis."

"And food issues are the most likely to plunge the people and the country into chaos."

"When that time comes, we will have to sit down at the negotiating table and make peace with our enemies."

"Agreed to cede the Tezera region, agreed to the independence of ten city-states, and a series of humiliating conditions that robbed the country of power and humiliated the country."

Bai Yefenghua faced Chen Xing and said seriously, "The reason why we want to know Ramsden's purpose is because we all feel that Ramsden is trying to make you take the blame."

"Leaders who agree to cede territory will inevitably become sinners through the ages."

"This..." Chen Xing hesitated for a while. It's not like he hasn't thought about Lumsden's purpose. Even if the other party is a respected guardian of the world, as long as the other party is an individual, he will have a purpose.

Ramsden once told him that mankind is facing a huge threat.

And what is this threat?

In this regard, Chen Xing thought of two points.

One is the chaos caused by Sora.

But he felt that Sola's influence was limited to the Internet. Now that even ClearNet was abolished, what kind of splash could she make?

Second, there is no threat at all, but Ramsden is out of sympathy for mankind.

You know, the greater the scale of the war, the more people will die. Perhaps the guardian is compassionate and does not want to see the loss of life, so he asked him to end the war as soon as possible.

So far, these are the only two points he can think of.

If it is the second article, then it is really possible. Lumsden wants to use him to promote peace negotiations and make the Red Country swallow this shit.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing was so frightened that he shivered. He would never do such a thing.

Once he does it, not only will he be infamous throughout the ages, but he will also bring trouble to future generations. He said that he would never take this path.

"Can't we break out?" Chen Xing asked.

Bai Yefenghua and Lacey looked at each other without speaking.

The situation is obvious. Their troops are already at a disadvantage, and it is simply unrealistic to charge into a narrow mouth.

Chen Xing understood it after thinking about it for a moment.

"Is it feasible to let the East China Sea Fleet of the Principality of Nice clear the sea routes and transport food from abroad?" Chen Xing asked again.

Lacey rubbed her brow and said nothing.

Chen Xing suddenly had a bad premonition and asked Bai Ye Fenghua, "What's going on?"

Bai Yefenghua sighed, "Since the Queen came to power, she has taken away the budget of the East China Sea Fleet."

"It is said that the fleet captain sold all his cannons in order to pay his salary..."
