"Didn't I say that a fierce battle is going on over there? What? Your Excellency, the Generalissimo, is also willing to come over?"
At the military airport in the western suburbs of the imperial capital, Yang Qi squinted at de Gaulle who was taking Gianna off the plane again, and said this.
De Gaulle paused, and he glanced at Yang Qi lightly: "The war is indeed in full swing, and I really shouldn't leave lightly. But the headquarters of your country's armed forces keeps urging me with many evil words a day, and even threatens me that if I don't come, your country will be destroyed."
We are about to withdraw across the Yellow River - what else can I do? I can only take advantage of the short truce at the front line like you, relying on the power of the star that can travel thousands of miles in a day without any change, to come and have a look."
"This is not a threat, but a fact!" Yang Qi's expression changed. He snorted coldly, but walked out first.
"Please, our Emperor and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces are waiting for you."
He turned around and said calmly.
…
Imperial Palace, Yongtai Hall.
The spacious hall was filled with the leaders of the emperor and the allied forces and their followers.
At this time, de Gaulle was speaking fiercely in front of a group of staff who were immersed in recording the meeting minutes.
"I just want to know why is this happening?"
His face was full of anger.
"We agreed that we would be the main attack and you would contain them. Why did the Imperial Army have to cross the Daling River? So much so that they have lost so much blood that even the Daling River defense line cannot support it?"
"Because the emperor's people always only believe in their own hands."
Yang Qi said coldly.
De Gaulle immediately looked at Yang Qi, and he frowned: "So, you can't believe us even once? Do you believe yourself like this? We have cut off the return route of the barbarian Western Army Regiment and are preparing to launch a general offensive. You
Just give it to us?"
…
"Isn't this enough?" Yang Qi said calmly.
Although there was a trace of unspeakable heaviness in his expression, there was even more of a hint of pride: "We launched the attack with 80% of the barbarians' strength, but it caused them heavy losses, and even defeated them who were on the defensive.
We have retreated to the Far North Fortress. If we hadn't run into Long Er and the Fifth Army head-on, I'm afraid we wouldn't have to count on you anymore."
"And even so, we all have to retreat at any rate. It's better than...some people?"
He snorted lightly in his nose, but looked sideways at De Gaulle.
De Gaulle was stunned, a hint of shame and anger flashed across his face. He thought for a while, but he tolerated the hint of shame and anger.
"Yes, you did fight well. When your early battle reports came in, the Allies were also happy for you. But the regional victory you achieved has nothing to do with the overall war situation. Even if you defeat the Far North Fortress, you can defeat it.
Are you going to annihilate the barbarian Eastern Army Regiment in one fell swoop? Please, they are obviously stronger than you!"
…
"But we have surrounded the entire Western Continent army with superior strength, and it is very possible to annihilate them all - why are you not willing to believe us once, and why are you not willing to wait for the results of our victory before taking a big action?"
"If you had only been entangled with the barbarians on the Daling River, you would not have lost enough blood to allow the Fifth Army to become the decisive force to change the situation of the war! How many people died in your series of assault battles and blocking battles across the Daling River?
?”
"Although the Great Northern Retreat was successful, how many people did your Goddess Guard Corps lose in the previous attack? They could have relied on the Daling River to maintain a stalemate with the barbarians - just like you did before, fight if you can.
, we won’t fight if we can’t defeat them. In short, we just need to contain the barbarians and prevent them from being distracted to the west!”
"And now, you have certainly shown your proficiency in fighting and bravery, but how does this help the battle? On the contrary, as soon as the Fifth Army comes over, you start to struggle. Why bother?"
De Gaulle said a series of words. His tone began to contain slight accusations.
…
Yang Qi began to reply coldly: "First of all, first of all, although the Imperial Army's crossing of the Daling River was extremely thrilling, it did not suffer unbearable losses. It almost caused huge losses to the barbarians."
"Second, the retreat of the Imperial Army was due to the sudden appearance of the Fifth Barbarian Legion on the Eastern Front. And Longer! also appeared on the Eastern Front!"
"About this, I really want an explanation from those who always want us to believe them, but are so clumsy!"
"Third, the empire's request for help is certainly due to the fact that in the previous series of desperate attacks, we suffered greater losses than the previous containment operations, but we also caused even greater losses to the barbarians."
"So, what I want to make clear is that the empire has always used the weak to attack the strong. The appearance of Long Er and the fifth barbarian army that should have been in the west is the biggest reason why the empire cannot face the pressure! Then use the weak to attack the strong.
, should there be a limit?”
He analyzed and rebutted point by point, but it left de Gaulle speechless.
…
De Gaulle thought for a while, sighed, and then started to get into trouble: "Okay, maybe everyone is right."
"I admit that the Fifth Army has become a decisive force in changing the balance of power in the eastern battlefield. This has certainly brought greater danger to the east. But everyone, why don't we think about it from another angle - isn't this a better opportunity?
?"
"The barbarians dare to risk the disapproval of the world and send more troops to the east when the pressure on the west is huge. Why don't we take this opportunity to give them a decisive blow? You know, they can drag this war out, but we can't! They are now
We want to settle the matter in one fell swoop, are we still afraid?"
"I think that since the empire launched the attack with inferior troops, it was able to cross the Daling River and even almost cut off the barbarians' retreat and surrounded and annihilated their main force. At this time, is the empire really unable to support it?"
"The empire is supporting, and so are we. The empire is bleeding, and the blood we shed is no less than that of the empire. And now, since the barbarians have actually transferred the fifth army to the east, it is the best opportunity for us in the west! As long as
As long as the empire can continue to support—no, as long as the empire can continue to support us until we defeat the barbarian Western Army Corps, the barbarians will all stop."
…
"I once again solemnly declare that the Merchant Alliance's reinforcements are an important part of the Allied strategic plan - it is impossible to mobilize them to put out the fire for you when we are about to win. In that case, we still want to fight this war.
How many years?”
"Mr. Yang Guogong, Chief Meng, Your Majesty, we all know that we have no time, we must seize this last opportunity! And now, this opportunity has been happily expanded because of Long Er's contempt for us and his attention to you -
—Under your unparalleled control, we are confident enough to complete the mission!"
Finally, de Gaulle waved his hands and said impassionedly.
"But have you ever thought that with Longer's cunning, he will not notice your planned attack? So, why does he still insist on transferring such a large legion eastward? This proves that he must have the confidence to defend you! This man.
He is a god in military skills and has always been a perfectionist. It is impossible for him to turn the west into a mess for the sake of the east."
Meng Gu frowned and said.
…
"He is confident, and we are even more confident! If he wants to decide the outcome in a battle, then we will accompany him! Let's see who is faster and who can hold on better! And we really can't lose such a golden opportunity.
!Humanity can’t wait any longer!”
De Gaulle looked at Meng Gu and replied sincerely.
"Absurd! Haven't you seen Long Er's strategic plan now? He didn't start from the west and then the east. Or he started from the east and then the west - everything he did to you in the early stage was just to bleed us!"
A faint voice sounded, and Yang Qi retorted coldly from the side.
De Gaulle immediately glared at Yang Qi, and he endured it. But he said patiently: "I know this, but now you are ignoring the overall interests of our humanity for your own small interests - we can't afford to delay, since
Longer wants to decide victory or defeat with one move, why don't we just go with the flow?"
"Go with the flow? That's nice to say."
Yang Qi snorted.
…
"Of course you hope to go with the flow. But this is based on the fact that we place the hope of the whole country on you. That's it. But if you don't succeed this time, we will perish directly!"
"And you, your performance, is it worthy of our trust? Didn't you start to fight a bad war? The empire needs to lose blood again and again? Why do you need to ask for help now? Give me the same troops as when we started the war, the barbarians
Another fifth legion will come, and the empire will still hold on!"
"You must know how much the empire has done for you in this war. The imperial troops can sacrifice for the overall interests of mankind, but the people of the empire have always been the targets of our soldiers' protection - I am just a soldier, I only know that we
It is absolutely impossible for the people to repeat the hundreds of years you stood by and groaned miserably! Therefore, we need reinforcements!"
…
"Do you think our people will feel better? Do you think we don't want revenge or victory?"
De Gaulle was furious: "At this time, do you still care about you and us? Are you and us human beings? Hundreds of millions of our people have died!"
"I've said it all! Now is not the time to stabilize the war situation, but the time to fight to the death. We have no time! Can't you trust us just once? I don't care whether he goes to the west or the east, I only know that now
The Western Continent has become a turtle in a urn!"
As de Gaulle spoke, his tone became more intense again.
"I'm afraid we still don't know who the turtle is."
Yang Qi said coldly from the side.
"Yang Qi, what do you mean?"
"That's what I meant-"
"Stop the quarrel!" A sudden angry shout interrupted the increasingly fierce argument between the two. He turned around and saw that the emperor had stood up in his place, and his face was ashen.
…
"His Majesty……"
Facing the wrath of the most powerful empire in mankind, Yang Qi and de Gaulle both stood up respectfully and bowed their heads deeply.
"You are too presumptuous!"
The emperor shouted angrily. In the raging war, the Chinese Supreme, who had been exhausted from the state affairs and worries about the war situation for more than two years, had a sickly pale face, which was full of flushes. Even though he was only a star.
Although he fought against demons, even Xingyao, who represented the strongest power of mankind, could only bow his proud head in front of him and listened to the instructions with bated breath.
"I called you here to have a meeting, not to quarrel. I want you to discuss a solution. It's best to have the best of both worlds, rather than -"
The emperor's angry voice suddenly stopped.
He was stunned, and a strange color appeared on his withered face. He suddenly closed his eyes tightly, fell heavily, and fell on the table.
"His Majesty!"
Yang Qi, Meng Gu and others immediately rushed over in a hurry. De Gaulle also walked over with concern. In an instant, the entire venue was in chaos. (To be continued...)
