Chapter Thirty-Nine: Final decision on the final battle
"Is your Majesty awake?"
In Yongtai Hall, after the meeting, Yang Qi and Meng Gu looked worriedly at Zhu Shoufu, who had a bitter look on his face.
Zhu Shoufu sighed quietly.
"I'm awake, but I've been in and out of consciousness, completely unable to see anything."
He replied in a low voice, adding an unspeakable look of worry to the faces of the two important ministers of the emperor's side.
"You guys..."
Zhu Shoufu looked at the two of them, and even glanced at Yang Qi a few more times. He looked at Yang Qi reproachfully and shook his head helplessly.
"Mr. Yang Guogong, can't you please let His Majesty be more accommodating? At this time, go and quarrel with de Gaulle. Can you come up with the result? Don't you know that His Majesty is already worried about the battle report ahead?"
…
"How do I know... I just don't like that De Gaulle. If it weren't for his blind command in the early stage, the Western Continent wouldn't have suffered such a disastrous defeat, and the empire wouldn't have lost so much blood for them. Just because he is a star, he has to dictate everything.
Really...I really didn’t know it would be like this.”
Yang Qi lowered his head, like a primary school student who had done something wrong, and whispered.
"I understand your feelings. In fact, that De Gaulle does like to take power a little bit. But he has learned to be smart now, so don't worry about his previous mistakes. Especially now is not the time for conflicts of tempers. The Far North is already here.
The empire is in danger, the empire is in danger, and humanity is in danger."
Zhu Shoufu spoke sincerely.
Meng Gu nodded and looked at Yang Qi reproachfully: "Besides, Lao Yang, it's not my brother who is talking about you. No matter what, we have to consider the immediate situation first. As the deputy chief of the military, you must not just
Look at the front line, look at the army, and look more at the empire. Look at everyone’s overall perspective.”
…
"yes……"
Zhu Shoufu sighed immediately after hearing this.
"Your Majesty is such a person, but he is too..."
He said in a low voice.
"Do you know? For more than two years, Your Majesty has not had a good night's sleep. I only worry about the government affairs, and General Meng only cares about the army. But His Majesty, even if the food is growing, which soldier
He has been sacrificed again, so you have to take care of him. He has exhausted himself..."
He sighed quietly.
…
"Yes... otherwise, the late emperor would not have chosen His Majesty to take the throne - His Royal Highness King Qi is a star. His Majesty is only a star until now."
Meng Gu also sighed quietly.
"The question is what should we do now?" He looked at Zhu Shoufu again.
Zhu Shoufu sighed and shook his head: "Your Majesty needs to rest. The doctor said that he cannot be allowed to take care of state affairs in the short term. At least let him rest for a while. Otherwise, Your Majesty may be in danger of unexpected events. The empire has sacrificed enough.
If we lose His Majesty again, I’m afraid it will be even more difficult to survive.”
"Now, let the eldest prince temporarily take charge of the state affairs. Among the successors chosen by His Majesty, there are only the third prince and the eldest prince. The third prince cannot leave lightly on the front line, and the only one left is the eldest prince."
Zhu Shoufu thought for a while and said.
"Yeah...that's fine." Meng Gu pondered and nodded.
…
"Your joint meeting is over? What was the result?"
Zhu Shoufu asked again.
"What else can happen?" Yang Qi said angrily.
"They barely squeezed 100,000 people for us. It's just a drop in the bucket. Moreover, I guess the combat effectiveness of the people in the Merchant Alliance is even worse than that of the Western Continent. If this is the case..." he said in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter if we die, but what about so many compatriots who regard us as the Great Wall? What about our children?"
He raised his head. His eyes were full of unwillingness.
"There is nothing we can do. The battle situation is like this. What can we do?" Meng Gu sighed.
"But we... really can't hold on any longer. The front line is really dangerous!"
Yang Qi said in a low voice.
…
"Hold on. I can only hope who is faster..."
Meng Gu smiled bitterly and said: "Unexpectedly, we have just competed with the barbarians to see who can win faster, and now we have to compete with them again... But Lao Yang, de Gaulle's strategy this time is indeed correct, I guess
It's not that he was giving random orders, it was the idea given to him by the two little guys in the Western Continent - when the early war was so corrupted and Longer was so cunning that he used everything he could use, we can't afford to delay it.
, this is a major premise.”
"We can only continue to maintain the front line if reinforcements are coming, but what if the reinforcements are really missing on the Western Continent?"
He said in a low voice and looked at Yang Qi with a look of persuasion on his face.
…
"But I really don't believe them."
Yang Qi nodded with a bitter look on his face.
"Me too..." Meng Gu sighed again: "So, for the sake of the overall situation, if you can give them more chips, let them have more chips..."
He sighed faintly: "Lao Yang, don't worry so much. Think about your compatriots, think about the children. Go back to the front, lead the men, and hold on for one more day..."
"I'm really unwilling..."
Yang Qi's eyes were full of unwillingness, he sighed lowly, but in the end he could only nod helplessly.

"Sir, is this really okay?"
On the returning fighter plane, Gianna also looked at De Gaulle with a worried expression.
"The Chinese are really in big trouble this time. The fifth legion, Gallon, is probably not just one plus one in the east. But they have always been a disadvantaged force. We... really don't have to... we are really so relieved
them?"
"Didn't I give them one hundred thousand? They can do it." De Gaulle's face was also extremely hesitant, but in the end he nodded heavily.
"Why?" Jaina asked.
"Because this is the only way..."
De Gaulle sighed softly.
…
"Don't you know about General Sal's military intelligence analysis? What he said is probably right. Although Longer is gone, he may have left a backhand on our side, and we have to guard against it. Moreover, we
There is only one chance. Since Long Er, who will win slowly if he fights slowly, dares to fight, and we will die if we continue to fight, why don't we dare to fight?"
"And, what do you think of the performance of the Chinese people during World War I?"
He suddenly looked at Jaina strangely.
"This... is indescribable and unimaginable." Jaina pondered. In the end, she slowly shook her head.
"Yes, these are Chinese people."
De Gaulle smiled bitterly.
…
"They have always been a nation that is good at creating miracles. What they are especially good at is the explosion of power in desperate situations. Yes, every time they face a desperate situation, they will always explode with several times more power. It is unbelievable power. This is why they are in a desperate situation.
The real reason for rising from the war!”
"Sometimes I even think that there must be something extremely powerful in the soul of this nation that we don't have."
De Gaulle exclaimed with admiration.
"Yes... the performance of the Chinese people in the last war was really..."
There was also a deep look of reverence in Jaina's eyes: "No one thought that they would turn around. Instead, they saved us. The barbarians may also value them because of this characteristic of theirs...
"
She murmured and sighed.
…
"Yes……"
De Gaulle also nodded, and a hint of regret suddenly appeared on his face.
"Actually, we did drag down the Chinese people in this war..."
He sighed quietly.
"Our people don't have the refinement of their unyielding civilization, and they lack a little bit of blood. And we, at the beginning, were...a little arrogant. If we lose this war, we may be responsible for ten points. We will bear nine points.
The Chinese can only bear one point of being a fellow human being... As for me... I probably hold a lot of weight among the nine points."
A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"But Your Excellency, those are all things in the past, right? It's not too late for us to make amends now." Jaina thought about it for a while but comforted her.
"But... the Chinese people... now I finally understand that the Chinese people bullied the merchant alliance. But we can only turn a blind eye - if it were me, I would rather fight Long Er and the barbarians than
I don’t want to fight China.”
A trace of solemnity appeared on her face as she said.
…
"Yes."
De Gaulle sighed: "Otherwise, do you think that the several generations of Alliance Speakers who were still in peacetime were so good-tempered and did not have the idea of teaching Chinese people a lesson? Maybe it was for the reason you said at the beginning, to express respect and repentance."
"But on the other hand, it may not be that I don't want to, but that I dare not." He sighed softly.
"If you ask me, those stupid merchant alliance people deserve to be taught those lessons - large-scale robbery of refugees from the Chinese Empire? Are they looking for death? And you can see their performance on the front line. They even only have one of us in their army.
division's combat effectiveness, and this is despite their immense dependence and obedience to us."
"I think their bloodline has been tainted by those short-sighted Nanyang natives who only have property and interests in their eyes!"
Jaina immediately nodded and said with some disgust.
…
"Perhaps...but my general, let's get back to business."
De Gaulle also nodded and looked at the female general in front of him expectantly.
"We can no longer waste the sacrifices of the Chinese people. Without them at the front, we might have been finished. Now, it is time to cherish the power of our precious and powerful allies. Their blood has been shed for mankind so much that it can hardly be shed anymore.
Already."
"After the reinforcements from the Merchant Alliance arrive, General Jaina, you and General Thrall will work together to command the final attack! This time, what I want is a decisive battle, a decisive battle that must be won! When the time comes, I will be the first for you
Charge, if you are lucky enough to come back alive, and if you are even lucky enough to win, I will personally congratulate you!"
"If we win...the winner is king, later history may not record the efforts of the Chinese people, but it will definitely record our victory! The Alliance needs this! The Western Continent needs this! All the people of the Western Continent need this!
"
"The hundreds of millions of our sacrificed people are looking at us, looking at us with suspicion - we must not be compared with the Chinese this time! Do you understand?"
He said extremely passionately.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I will use all my strength and try my best! I will not give up until victory is achieved!"
Gianna nodded solemnly and replied generously. (To be continued...)
