Darkness is Coming - Chapter 766

In the 01 base, in the corridor of the computer room known as the “road to the future”, Yang Xiaoqian and Liu Zhongqian are walking side by side, the ground is spotless, but they are walking very slowly every step, as if they are stuck in a quagmire.

When    came to the end, Yang Xiaoqian stretched out his hands in his trouser pockets and asked softly, “Xiao Liu, you should be very clear about my purpose, right?”

  Liu Zhongqian shook his head and nodded again, and replied, “I can’t be sure, but I guess you have doubts about Chairman Wen’s arrangement.”

   “It’s neither right nor wrong for you to say that. I don’t doubt Chairman Wen’s decision. I just want to ask the respected Commander Liu, why did you choose me?”

   Before Yang Xiaoqian came to Zero One Base, he received a new appointment in the chairman’s office.

   Soon, Huaxia will send troops to the five Central Asian countries to rescue the Chinese compatriots in distress, and use force to eliminate all alien creatures that harm refugees.

   This is of course an excuse. The Russian Federation and the U.S. Federation will also find similar excuses to send troops abroad. This is a good opportunity to increase the right to speak and increase control, but any big country with spare capacity will not easily let it go.

   But the situation on the Huaxia side is more complicated. The troops on the expedition are not only the Huaxia regular army (the People’s Guard Army), but also an irregular army with strong combat capability – which can also be called the volunteer army – to accompany the expedition.

The composition of this “irregular army” is quite complicated, including the former hunter bases of Yuanjiang Corpse Hunters and international mercenaries, Yuanjiang veterans and volunteer soldiers from various places (most of these volunteers are veterans who have been demobilized and retired from the defense army) . As for Yang Xiaoqian, he became the top military officer of this unit, and the official appointment document will be issued in three days at the latest.

Yang Xiaoqian has always been self-aware and knows his own weight. He knows that his ability to handle local government affairs is higher than his military command ability. Although he has experienced the War against Corpse in the Far River and the Defense of Southern Capital, his ability is not enough. Lead a complex army to war in foreign countries.

   When it is difficult to maintain a complete logistics chain, it is difficult to maintain a complex and ever-changing battlefield, which will place high requirements on the military literacy and accumulation of military officers. Yang Xiaoqian does not meet these requirements.

  Chairman Ke Wen chose Yang Xiaoqian to be the commander of this unit. The reason behind this is not difficult to figure out: Liu Yuanzhou must have persuaded Chairman Wen.

  So, after leaving Zhongnanhai, Yang Xiaoqian rushed to the Zero One base non-stop to seek an explanation.

   Faced with Yang Xiaoqian’s questioning, Liu Zhongqian replied without hesitation: “Because you are the best candidate.”

   “But I don’t have the military aptitude to command large campaigns.”

“First of all, wars will not end easily, you need to master the ability to command large-scale campaigns and even lead them, so you need to gain experience in larger battlefields. Second, no leader is an all-rounder, and you can rest assured that there will be There are better military advisors with you.” Liu Zhongqian said very politely, which was obviously his own answer, not a retelling of Liu Yuanzhou’s original words.

The war will not end easily, and as one of the leaders of the Awakened, Yang Xiaoqian is also the most powerful Awakened among human beings. It is impossible for him to stay in a peaceful environment as a local governor, so Yang Xiaoqian must become a qualified General, for this, he needs the opportunity to command large-scale campaigns.

Yang Xiaoqian couldn’t refute this reason. He paced annoyedly for a few steps, then walked back to Liu Zhongqian and said, “I have accepted this appointment, but I want to know why I am the best candidate? Since Liu Yuanzhou wants to do it for me Decide, should I be convinced?”

“Do you still remember that you captured two giant dragons alive in front of the live broadcast of Shang Hai in the battle of Shang Hai? It is no exaggeration to say that you are now the most famous Awakener in the world. Citizens of other countries are talking about In Huaxia, the first three people that come to mind are Chairman Wen, Premier of the Party, and Chairman Yang.” Liu Zhongqian raised his index finger and gave the first reason, “Your face has been firmly remembered by the people of the world, so it was decided by The troops you lead have a natural affinity for the refugees who are eager for heroes to come to rescue, and for those newly awakened people in other countries who have not yet joined a big country or a large organization, you are an idol and a god-like existence , you will lead the army to go out, and you can absorb more new awakened people, I think Speaker Yu is also very happy to see this result.”

   Yang Xiaoqian suddenly realized that it was for today that Shang Hai fought against Liu Yuanzhou to build momentum for him.

“anything else?”

“It is the end of 2011, and the provincial CPPCC members have already been replaced in the last election. In the process of solving the mutant crisis, there is another very wide-ranging replacement. In another 12 to 13 months, the national leadership People may change, of course, it may also be cancelled due to the continuous war, and the current leadership team will continue to lead China. But…”

“Um?”

“But the leadership team will change sooner or later. Chairman Wen’s health is not as good as the day under the high-intensity work state. Once the national leader is replaced, the Yuanjian Society with strong armed forces will become a ‘legacy problem that needs to be solved urgently’. You should be very careful. It is clear that such an armed force that is not fully controlled by the party and the state will not be allowed to exist in the hinterland of central China forever.”

“Yeah.” Yang Xiaoqian nodded, the fact is so, there is no need to escape, Yuanjian will give up the armed force sooner or later, and even, after Yang Xiaoqian and Yu Qian can’t make more benefits – or can’t make more contributions – after Yuanjian Even the right to legal existence will be lost.

   “I think you definitely don’t want to see this happen, but the problem must be solved, so it is the best choice for you to bring this armed force abroad.”

   “What do you mean?” Yang Xiaoqian’s eyes became colder, “You want me to take these compatriots from Yuanjiang to fight abroad and never let them return to their hometown?”

“No, of course not. All volunteers have Chinese nationality and can naturally return to China at any time, but they should not continue to have the right to legally hold ordnance in the country. Outside, they are your army, and at home, they are Yuanjiang Citizens.”

   “I can accept it if they give up their armed forces.” Yang Xiaoqian was puzzled, “But Liu Yuanzhou arranged this in the hope that I could have a private army?”

“It’s not a private army, it’s a regular army.” Liu Zhongqian shook his head and smiled, “But it’s not the army of China, but the army of the people of the world, the army of the earth. Do you remember that you said that we would establish the Earth Guard Alliance sooner or later? Maybe In your opinion, this is just a joke, but the necessity of the existence of the Earth Guard Alliance is no less than the community with a shared future for mankind proposed by Chairman Wen.”

   “So, maybe next time we meet, I should call you Commander Yang, or, Marshal Yang.”
