After de Gaulle left with a smile, the young men and women continued to walk among the trees.
"De Gaulle seems to be a little distracted today...Girl Lin, what do you think?"
For a long time, the two people were immersed in the silence and walking side by side. However, the young man turned his head and looked at the girl and said doubtfully.
"Yeah... I feel that he is always a little absent-minded in the combat meetings these days. Usually, he likes to ask some questions for me to answer, and then he will make a report to show that he and I want to go together."
"But this time, he has been silent almost all the time...it's very strange..."
The girl suddenly murmured thoughtfully.
"Besides, Xie Ning, don't you think that the question that De Gaulle asked about one person and a hundred people just now is very abrupt? I seem to think that he has something to say..."
She suddenly turned her head and looked at the young man.
"I also think...maybe he noticed that when you commanded the war, you cared a little about the troops in the southern continent, but not that much in the western continent? Can you give me a hint?" [
The young man pondered for a while, but replied in confusion.
…
"possible……"
The girl's face suddenly turned red.
"Whatever, just have a clear conscience. I just go with the flow and use the optimal configuration to achieve my strategic goals. I have never deliberately targeted the troops in the Western Continent. I have never deliberately let them be responsible for sending death, and the people from the Southern Continent are responsible for choosing.
It’s cheaper. I believe he can see that. Moreover, in the next stage of the battle, won’t I use my Eighth Route Army as the arrow?”
Then, she said again.
"Well, don't worry. He is also a soldier. He should understand. Without sacrifice, how can there be victory? You just don't care about the lives of soldiers as much as you command our army. You try every possible means to achieve the strategic goal.
Just to reduce losses - but we are always in danger. For the sake of victory, how can we care too much about the lives and deaths of soldiers?"
"If this is the case, the loss may be smaller, but the difficulty of each of your tactical actions will suddenly increase - at such critical moments when the weak is fighting the strong, if you deliberately increase the difficulty, is that not courting death? Isn't it kind of like that?
In charge of the troops."
The young man also smiled and nodded.
…
Immediately, a look of emotion appeared in his eyes: "As long as we get rid of this side, only the barbarian mainland of White Star will be left. It won't be easy... Billions of people were involved in the war, and half of the continent fell.
Millions of soldiers died, but... we will finally win."
"Everything is very thrilling, and even more bizarre. But in the end, with all kinds of accidents and all kinds of indomitable efforts... we are about to usher in victory... I can only say that God favors us, our ancestors favor us, and we ourselves are worthy of God.
Thanks to the love and blessings of our ancestors... I just hope that this time, we can avoid future troubles forever."
He sighed deeply, his eyes filled with a look of longing and yearning.
The girl also nodded in agreement.
"Yes... But it's also thanks to you, whether it's us, you, or them." [
She sighed, and then looked at the young man softly.
…
"This is none of my business. I just did what I should do. Whoever it is, as long as he has the ability, he will definitely work hard for my right to exist as a human being."
"However, I am afraid that we will temporarily launch a war to attack the barbarian mainland and completely destroy that evil race - the losses will be too great... I am afraid that the Western Continent will definitely be reduced to ruins by the defeated barbarians, and they will definitely need to rebuild."
"And our empire has also lost blood to an extremely dangerous level. We need to wait at least until the young generation grows up and leaves descendants before we can release the troops for the expedition. Otherwise, too many men will die and too many families will die.
Otherwise, our reproduction will become a problem, and the national demonic warfare strength will be set back for at least several decades."
"We still need at least ten years of rest and fresh blood before we can go on an expedition. Now, we can only obtain a bridgehead by relying on the extremely favorable terrain of Hope Island, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
The young man laughed and shook his head, then sighed.
…
"It doesn't matter, don't forget, the barbarians still have the recovering barbarian god - we can't immediately launch a war to destroy the lifeline of the barbarian god. In that case, even if the barbarian god is seriously injured again, he will have to recover from this.
In dozens or hundreds of years, he will be awakened from his slumber and recuperate and take action."
The girl smiled.
"It may take more than ten years for you and His Highness Zeng to grow up to the point where they can fight against the Starlight of the Barbarian God. By then, our wounds will have been 'licked', and we can gather the power of mankind to conquer the White Star!"
"But the barbarians have lost their entire elite, unlike us who have at least two to three million army seeds left. They have to rebuild an army, and they may not be able to recover within at least one generation. At that time
, as long as we can compete with the barbarian gods, we have the possibility of completely annihilating the barbarians!"
…
"By the time……"
The girl stopped talking, her eyes were full of longing and longing.
"We can hope to avenge our blood!"
The young man smiled.
"From now on, war will end forever and we can enjoy peace."
The girl also smiled happily, a smile from the heart and a ray of bright sunshine appeared on her heroic face at the same time.
~~~~~~~~~
"We can't wait any longer. The barbarians have given us an ultimatum. If we hesitate any longer, they will immediately order a comprehensive execution of all humans in the areas they control - it's time to make a decision."
While the young men and women were enjoying themselves and laughing together, de Gaulle and a group of allied tribal leaders met with Dell again.
In the gloomy atmosphere, Dale, who seemed to have returned from the barbarians again, said anxiously.
"Duke de Gaulle, you said you were going to test King Yong of China...what does he think?"
After a long silence, the Speaker of the Alliance looked at de Gaulle, who was frowning and thinking.
De Gaulle sighed faintly: "I didn't dare to say it clearly, but... they most likely would not agree - what they said made sense indeed. They are indeed the two smartest people in mainland China. I was even about to be
They were persuaded to agree with their point of view.”
He sighed deeply.
…
"But that is related to the lives of hundreds of millions of our people and the people of Southern China!" the Alliance Speaker said urgently.
"yes……"
De Gaulle sighed again, with a look of shame and melancholy in his eyes.
"So, I have followed your plan and invited them back to the capital to rest for a few days under the pretext of a celebration banquet and victory celebration...the tiger has left the mountain. The Eighth Route Army will also retreat and rest under the command of the commander-in-chief - without noticing.
The abnormality of the barbarians on the other side.”
"They didn't notice our intention and agreed."
He said in a low voice.
…
"That's good!"
The Alliance Speaker's face suddenly beamed with joy, and he turned to the tribal chief next to him who looked hesitant and ashamed.
"Your Majesty the Chief, what do you say?"
he asked tentatively.
The warchief sighed.
"so be it……"
He also said in a low voice.
…
"Then this is our decision? Immediately make a soul oath with the barbarians, hide it from them, and let the barbarians go!"
"In this case, we have at least bought them a few days and tried our best, and we have no longer violated the oath of the soul. And the barbarians... I believe they dare not violate the oath of the soul and leave a few of their remaining
All the War Emperor’s soul veins were destroyed.”
"Although it is a pity this time. But we still have a future. When our strength reaches a certain level again, we can still wipe out the barbarians, but it will be a little more difficult."
The Alliance Speaker immediately said urgently.
…
"But the Eighth Route Army and their homeland of Hope Island... they saved us, but now we..."
The chief of the tribe had a sad face.
"Your Excellency, the Great Chief, there is no other way, and we don't want it to be like this! Presumably, you don't want so many of your people in the north to die miserably, right?"
"I believe that the empire will understand us, and they will understand us. Everyone will understand us. After all, those are hundreds of millions of our people, hundreds of millions of living lives..."
The Alliance Speaker also sighed heavily.
…
"You are right...just do it..."
The great chief took a deep breath, lowered his head and sighed again.
"However, this requires the cooperation of the empire. The east end of the continental bridge is on the only way for the barbarians to retreat. But there is still the empire's New Fourth Army blocking it - what is the empire's reply?"
Immediately, he looked at an official who seemed to be responsible for diplomatic communication in the alliance's "government" and asked.
"We have spoken to the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs several times about this matter, and they seem to be still hesitating..."
The official replied immediately.
…
"Impossible... We have already put forward such generous conditions. Why do they have to hesitate? Do they really need us to make the Empire the king of mankind and let the Chinese become the only masters on this planet before they are willing to agree?
?”
The Alliance Speaker suddenly said with some dissatisfaction.
"But Speaker, you know that the Chinese have never been a nation that puts absolute interests first. They are so stubborn that they even scare the barbarians. Otherwise, they would have been finished after the fall of the country at the end of the Thousand Years War."
"Otherwise, the barbarians would not have chosen us first this time and planned a strategy of moving west, then east, and then east and west together. Instead, they would have gone south from the extreme northern forest to defeat them."
"So, although we have put forward conditions that tempt us to add more, this is just to add some chips to our balance - as to whether the weight is enough, that is still unknown."
The official replied with a wry smile.
…
"well……"
The Alliance Speaker also sighed with a wry smile.
"How wonderful it would be if our people could be like them... At least, without their forced help, the barbarian army would not be so large, and the west would not be so corrupted - nor would we.
Because we have left such a large number of people in the occupied country, we are now in a dilemma."
He said in a low voice.
"Yes, this nation, if their civilization does not die, no one can conquer them."
Several other people in the crowd also sighed softly.
"Let's go to the capital of Nanlu Kingdom to prepare for the victory celebration and welcome His Highness King Yong and others... It's time to end this damn war... I just hope that the empire can understand our frustration, accept our request, and cooperate
us."
In the silence, the Alliance Speaker stood up slumped and said in a low voice. (To be continued...)
