"Lon Er was caught by us just like that? Executed? Sir, I don't know why, I always feel that all this is very sudden and a bit weird..."
As Xie and Lin walked back to the headquarters, a staff officer looked at Xie Ning and murmured.
"Weird? Don't you understand what Long Er said?"
Xie Ning glanced at him slightly.
"You know, Long Er failed one after another in the east and west battlefields because of us. And he is a mixed descendant of the Western Continent and the barbarians. I guess those inhuman beasts would not be very convinced by his command - but after what happened one after another,
With such a defeat, Long'er's prestige was probably dealt a fatal blow, internal fighting broke out among the barbarians, and Long'er was forced to stay and become an outcast."
"So, can Long Er like this still fight us? It's good if he can hold off for a few days, but he is probably limited to the soul oath and has to sacrifice his life. It is also because of the barbarian lunatics under his command who are full of fanaticism and believe in their false gods.
Power."
"You think our victory came too fast and too weird. Maybe Longer also wishes we could go faster - he is regarded as an abandoned son, and he doesn't want to be a support? What's more, those who still look down on him and cruelly give up on him
A person, even though he has made so many meritorious deeds for the barbarians?"
He analyzed it in detail for everyone who seemed to have more or less the same doubts.
…
"So that's it... No wonder you said this is reasonable... But sir, we still have to bury him? He is..."
The staff officer had a look of sudden realization on his face, and then he asked in a low voice, with a little grievance and confusion on his face.
"Did you notice the look in his eyes when he was asked where the barbarians had fled? Although he was limited to Soul Vein Oath and racked his brains to stop us for several days and refused to say anything, he finally looked towards the extreme north.
But the eyes have clearly told us - the barbarians are trying to escape to White Star and return to their homeland!"
"I don't know if his last confession is true, but the direction he pointed is very likely to be correct - I thought about it all the way. They led a million-strong army to the rear with Long Er. Such a broken request
It would be too tragic to just be content with it."
"If they flee to the Western Continent, and my army pursues them, they will still be destroyed. They will only slow down their death time. But using a million troops and Long Er to ask for a few more days of survival? They may not have it.
So stupid."
…
"So, they can only survive by cutting off their tails! Their ultimate goal is probably to escape to White Star, to their homeland. In the end, escape! I don't know why they have so much confidence, but in that case,
It only makes sense that they would abandon millions of troops."
"So, since Long Er seems to have discovered his conscience in the end, let us show our last mercy and give alms to this stupid and pitiful man who has human blood but no human light... The barbarians are what we really want.
The target of blood revenge, he is just a stupid person who got involved in it. A complete idiot!"
"All sin will end with his death."
Xie Ning said calmly.
…
"Sir, you are right, but...Sir, I have been wondering. Are the barbarians really so confident that they can survive after docking their tails? Are we missing something? Do the barbarians have any other means to deal with the empire?
?In other words, the barbarians will deal with the empire in the same way they dealt with the Allies?"
"I've been wondering about this too. It's very possible as you guessed..."
Xie Ning was horrified and moved.
"But it's impossible for the empire to agree... In that case, it would be like selling us all to the barbarians - not all of us, but Hope Island will definitely suffer great losses - it is impossible for the empire to agree to such a ridiculous threat..."
he murmured.
"Moreover, if the barbarians get the return of those million troops, our plan to eliminate the barbarians may add another variable. The empire should also know this..."
A staff officer also added.
…
"But what if... the barbarians also promised in the Soul Vein Oath that they would not commit any crime against the Hope Island Huiqiu? At that time, the empire was fighting for the lives of hundreds of millions of people... otherwise, after so long, the empire should have known about it by now.
At least you should inform us..."
Xie Ning murmured again, his expression already extremely hesitant.
"But what we can be sure of is that their soul oath will definitely not include our Eighth Route Army - our Eighth Route Army is a White Star Chinese and has no relationship with the people of the West Continent."
Lin Qi also murmured.
"Therefore, the barbarians cannot hope that we will agree to this matter. The soul oath they proposed will most likely only restrict the people of the Western and Southern Continent or our empire, but it cannot include us."
"It may also be because of this that the Allies and the Empire kept it from us instead of informing us - otherwise, it would be great fun if we broke their soul oath and made human beings break the contract..."
"So, no matter what agreement they reached, we still have freedom of action. As long as we catch up with and annihilate the barbarians, there is probably nothing the barbarians can do."
She analyzed with some hesitation.
…
"But it may be that the empire is hesitating about what to do? After notifying us, they basically have no choice. Chief of Staff, you have to know that politics is not as intuitive and clear as the military. It can only serve the overall interests of the country and nation.
Interests, the interests of the majority, and long-term interests.”
"But in many complex political situations, it is almost difficult to distinguish what is the interest of the majority, who is the real overall interest, and which is the longer-term and greater interest. Among these interests, who is more important and who is less important, and how to choose
What is best for the country and the nation - this is an extremely complex proposition."
"Therefore, it is usually difficult to choose between a dilemma. It is difficult to have the best of both worlds. Every choice will be extremely difficult and cautious."
"Under such circumstances, it may be that we don't know the news because the empire is limited to the Soul Vein Oath, but it may also be that the empire doesn't know what to do yet, but can only hide it from us..."
Xie Ning retorted still doubtfully.
…
"I don't understand politics, but no matter how you put it... with our Chinese character, it is impossible for the empire to abandon us? Moreover, the royal family has sacrificed two talented members of the royal family, Chief Meng and the others who have been protecting their compatriots with their blood
The Imperial people, aren't they worthy of trust? Just let them handle it. We are only responsible for pretending not to know and pursuing them - the east end of the continental bridge is not the Imperial government, but the Imperial people."
Lin Qi thought about it, but she also hesitated and retorted.
"Or... we send personnel to contact the empire through fighter planes?"
She asked hesitantly again.
"You're right...why do you think so much? The empire won't harm us anyway."
Xie Ning immediately laughed and shook his head.
…
"There is no need to contact you. If it is the situation I guess, contact is meaningless. We don't need to worry about being abandoned by the empire. How is that possible? In short, the empire will not harm us."
The young commander spoke confidently, his eyes full of deep trust in the motherland.
"And if it's what you guessed, since the empire didn't notify us, it must have concerns about the soul oath. It's more likely to be tacit approval... maybe it's also hoping that we, the only force that can't be restricted by the soul oath, do it.
Order something."
He said meaningfully.
"Just do as you say and leave him alone. Since you don't want us to know, then we pretend we don't know. Anyway, with our military strength, it is enough to wipe out the barbarians! Those idiots, although tail cutting to survive is a good strategy after failure,
But they actually dare to divide their troops so arrogantly in front of us?"
…
"I want to see, even if you set off at least a week in advance. Even if you destroy the road behind you, even if you buy precious time to escape - but the New Fourth Army is almost the same size as us, but perhaps slightly less powerful.
Do you want to make a living? They can stop you for just a few days, and that's enough for us to catch up!"
As he spoke, Xie Ning's eyes were filled with sharp eyes, and he turned to look at a combat staff officer.
"What is the situation on the battlefield now? Are our losses great? Do we still have the energy to conduct an ultra-long-distance and high-intensity march to annihilate the fleeing barbarian troops?"
he asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the commander, all the ministries have suffered little losses in this annihilation battle. They are chasing and annihilating the remaining enemies and can be gathered at any time! After retreating for a few days to rest and recuperate, our troops are already full of energy, full of elites, and have enough support.
Battles and pursuits of any intensity - as long as the barbarians can still run, we can also run, and we can catch up with them and annihilate them!"
The staff officer, who was convinced after hearing the conversation between the two commanders, saluted solemnly and replied loudly.
…
Xie Ning nodded with satisfaction. After thinking for a while, he solemnly ordered: "Let them leave the remnants of the enemy alone, quickly clean the battlefield, and move closer to the headquarters. As for the remnants of the enemy... just leave them to the allied forces behind us."
Go and deal with it! Don't let these bastards follow us just for fun!"
"These bastards, they actually falsely reported military information and cooperated with the barbarians to trick us. Longer might have been annihilated by us long ago, and we might have caught up with him long ago! Although they may have great difficulties, they are really worthy of Qianshanwan.
The water is coming to us!"
As he spoke, the young man had an angry look on his face.
Immediately, his expression became serious, but he became solemn again from his anger.
"But it's not too late now! The barbarians only ran away for at least ten days longer than us. What are we afraid of?"
"Order all the ministries to assemble immediately! Requisition any transport vehicle they see and can collect - even if it belongs to the Allies! If anyone doesn't listen, tell them to let de Gaulle argue with me. I will
Let’s see if de Gaulle still dares to come and see me!”
"As for us... after gathering, we will use a heavy armored group carrying an engineer as the vanguard, followed by a large mechanized force of magic armor. We will build roads and bridges when encountering mountains and rivers. The soldiers will not take off their armor and their horses will not take off their saddles. The target is the mainland bridge.
, pursue at full speed!”
Immediately, he shouted loudly. (To be continued...)
