The next day, the joint military exercise officially began. According to the negotiated plan, the first stage was a joint coastal defense exercise, so neither Yang Hui nor Cornelia participated, and even their knights did not participate. They only assigned a
A mid-level officer is in charge of command.
"It's so boring." Yang Hui yawned and complained as he watched the joint coastal defense exercise, which was like playing house, "Sister Huang, why do you agree to them? Does this kind of exercise have any meaning?"
"Coastal defense is also a very critical part of protecting the country. Exercises are actual combat. You should know this." Cornelia calmly drank her red tea and educated Yang Hui...
That’s weird! If the crossed legs hadn’t changed directions dozens of times in two minutes, I would have really believed it!
"Exercises are actual combat. I agree with this, but... this kind of exercise is carried out completely according to the script prepared in advance. There are no surprises or surprises at all. Is it considered an exercise? Is it similar to filming a military movie?" Yang Hui complained.
Of course he knew the importance of coastal defense exercises. The Bunitalia Empire's homeland, like Sakura Country, was an island country, so coastal defense was the empire's first line of defense. Needless to say, its importance.
But since it is an exercise, it must be more effective the closer it is to actual combat. You follow the script prepared in advance, so why is it still an exercise? Acting is almost the same!
"Be patient. The joint coastal defense exercise only lasts for three days. It will end in three days. There are still three days... No, today is already halfway through. There are still two and a half days. After two and a half days, there will be a confrontation exercise... Hey, how can we still do it?
Two and a half days? Why on earth did I agree to them at that time?"
Well, Cornelia couldn't help it anymore. Her plain and elegant posture disappeared, and the word "violent" was clearly written on her face.
"Right? I really don't know what you were thinking at the time." Yang Hui spread his hands.
"Shut up! How do I know they followed the script exactly and there were no changes at all?"
"...We have already prepared something like a script, but you still expect changes?"
"Well, it's me who is stupid." Cornelia covered her face in frustration, "These incompetent little devils can only find a sense of existence in the international community by using this kind of false drama."
Hearing this, Yang Hui glanced at the sky. Several civilian helicopters were hovering in the sky, and the helicopters were all filled with reporters from news TV stations.
After the incident of the regular army rebelling and becoming pirates and the defeat of Kaishiro Todo in a public duel, there has been turmoil in the country, especially the Sakura Kingdom's military, and distrust of the military's combat capabilities.
On the one hand, loyalty is questioned, otherwise why would a future military star become a pirate? World-famous masters like Kaishiro Toudo are suspected of defecting to other countries and betraying themselves in public duels.
On the other hand, the combat effectiveness has also been questioned. A complete fleet was captured completely. The martial arts master lost in a public duel to the prince of the Bunitalia Empire who was at least ten years younger than Toudo Kaishiro.
.
All this has to make the citizens of Sakura Country wonder where the high taxes they paid have been spent.
As a result, both the military and the political circles have been questioned by the public. Shumu Xuanwu and the Six Families of Kyoto have to find ways to improve the positive image of the military, and this military exercise arranged in advance is the best.
Chance.
But...the more they wanted to do this, the more Yang Hui wanted to be a troublemaker.
"Sister Huang, I have an idea..."
"What do you want to do? I told you not to mess around. The reporters in the sky are not only from Sakura Country. The whole world is paying attention to this military exercise." When Cornelia heard Yang Hui say, "I have an idea," these four
The word got her interested because she was too bored and wanted to have some fun to pass the time.
But her reason allowed her to control her desires. The process of the military exercise had been agreed upon in the discussion the day before yesterday. If there was trouble on Bunitalia's side, it would still be the empire's face that would be lost.
"Don't worry, Sister Huang, I won't do anything random. I just want to...be a pirate."
"Huh?" Cornelia was stunned for a moment, looking at Yang Hui with a strange expression, her brain running rapidly.
"You took the wrong medicine and took the initiative to give excuses to those guys in the Imperial Capital?"
"No, I mean... tomorrow's joint coastal defense, I want to be a pirate." Yang Hui smiled sinisterly.
"Huh? Well..." Cornelia thought for a while, and then... smiled sinisterly, "That's a good idea, how about taking me with you?"
"Isn't this... bad?" Yang Hui looked at Cornelia speechlessly.
This trip to Sakura Country, his identity was just an officer under Cornelia, so he played the role of a pirate in the exercise, and the impact was not that big. But Cornelia is different, she is a member of the Bunitalia Army
The commander-in-chief!
The commander-in-chief becomes a pirate... How much of a sensation will this cause? Even if it is an exercise.
"What's wrong? At worst, if you wear a mask, no one will recognize you."
"Are you sure?" Yang Hui raised his eyebrows and looked at Cornelia's long, smooth purple-red hair. Like Euphemia's long pink hair, it was the most eye-catching symbol.
"...Bang!" Cornelia also noticed the color of her hair, turned her head and became depressed.
"How about...cut it?"
"you dare!"
The sudden roar, like the roar of a lion from Hedong, startled Yang Hui.
"Woman." Yang Hui complained in his heart.
Cornelia is indeed iron-blooded and resolute, but...she is also a woman!
Is there any woman who doesn't love beauty? Cornelia's long purple hair is one of the most beautiful things about her body. If she has no choice, Cornelia will not hesitate, but on ordinary days, if anyone dares to touch her
She dares to fight anyone with their hair! It’s not even a joke!
"Wait a minute, don't our soldiers have full-face helmets and protective masks?" Cornelia suddenly thought.
"Well...it is true. The MK-II individual combat helmet and the DK03 gas mask are both newly developed equipment by the Imperial Academy of Sciences." Yang Hui thought for a while, and found that such equipment does exist, and it can indeed solve Cornelia's problem.
The problem of easy exposure of identity.
"Prepare a set, and we will set off together tomorrow." Cornelia did not give Yang Hui a chance to refuse her anymore, and directly gave him an order. There were still two and a half days left, so that she could continue to sit here drinking tea and watching the show.
It's going to be crazy.
"...Okay, but let's make an agreement first. All actions tomorrow will be under my command." Yang Hui said to Cornelia. Cornelia's command ability is indeed good, but Yang Hui is definitely better than her, and Cornelia's
Her combat command ability is based on large-scale combat, and she is not good at the tactics of small elite units.
"Okay, as long as you satisfy me."
"…………What kind of talk are these about tigers and wolves!?"
"Get out!"
"okay."
…
Since Cornelia agreed, Yang Hui naturally went to recruit people. Otherwise, Yang Hui and Cornelia would play the role of pirates in the exercise, just to deliver food.
"Uh... Your Highness, do we really want to do this?"
The people who were summoned were Reggie Reggieta, Jeremiah, Veretta, and Joan Rowe. Cornelia's knights included Gilbert, Dalton, and five squad captains, plus
Yang Hui and Cornelia, 13 people in total, are enough.
"Well, your Highness is too boring and wants to have some fun." Yang Hui did not hesitate to throw the blame away, but...
"...Is this your Highness's idea?" Gilbert questioned without hesitation. Cornelia's boredom was expected by him, but Cornelia would never have thought of such a bad idea.
"It also satisfies the imperial sister's request!"
"..."
Everyone stared with dead eyes, don’t think that we don’t know that you have too much time to do, so you want to cause trouble!
"But Your Highness, the identities of you and Cornelia..." Except for Regeni Regetta, everyone else was worried about the identities of Yang Hui and Cornelia, especially Cornelia, the commander-in-chief of the First Army.
Commanding someone to become a pirate or something...no matter what the outcome is, he will definitely be criticized.
"Don't worry, Sister Huang has already thought of a solution." Yang Hui said.
"What can I do?" Everyone was confused. Cornelia's distinctive long hair was not so easy to hide.
"The solution is..."
"Squeak~"
Before Yang Hui could say anything, the door to the combat conference room was opened, and Cornelia walked in, but...
"Sister Huang... what new fashion style is this?" Yang Hui asked expressionlessly, and everyone else also lost their facial expressions.
Cornelia was still wearing the burgundy clothes, but she wore an ordinary soldier's MK-II individual combat helmet and a DK03 gas mask on her head, covering her entire head.
"What the hell? I'm just trying to see if the helmet and gas mask can hide my identity. How effective is it?" Cornelia said angrily.
"Yeah, perfect!" Everyone gave a thumbs up. Wearing this helmet and gas mask, as long as she changes into an ordinary soldier's combat uniform, no one will recognize that this is Cornelia.
"Well, that's fine." After confirming the effect, Cornelia naturally took off her helmet and gas mask, and her beautiful long hair was gathered into a big ball on the back of her head.
"I'll go!" This frightened Yang Hui. He snatched the helmet from Cornelia's hand and looked at it over and over.
"What are you doing?" Cornelia asked Yang Hui with a strange expression.
"I'm looking at what technology this is made of?"
"What kind of technology? Isn't it just a Mandarin tactical helmet? The material is the latest alloy..."
"No, no, no, some kind of space technology must be used, otherwise how can it fit your hair?" Yang Hui said, while using his hands to draw the size of the helmet, the internal space, and the size of the back of Cornelia's head.
Dumplings.
"………………"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they all gathered around. Like Yang Hui, they looked at the ordinary tactical helmet, and then looked at Cornelia's hair. Well... there is indeed black technology.
"I said...that's enough for you!" Cornelia roared with a dark face.
