Face Slapping the General - Chapter 99
The frontline is full of war, but Wu Qiao is mainly responsible for grasping the general direction in the rear.
Because he hadn’t been on the battlefield for a long time, his crow Jiuchengtian swayed everywhere, a bit like the aunt of the neighborhood committee, mediating various disputes between mechas every day. Today, who is in conflict with whom, and who is in trouble tomorrow, Ya Jiu gives his opinion on the matter based on the drama he watched. Because Ya Jiu is Wu Qiao’s mecha, other mechas will give him face.
Once, Wu Qiao walked into an empty conference room, but saw Ya Jiu, Ji Yao’s mechas, and several mechas that hadn’t been on the battlefield for a long time together, sitting in a circle around the conference room table. , Take turns to speak.
Ya Jiu said: “16412.”
Ji Yao’s mecha said: “16413.”
The third mech said: “16414.”
The fourth mech didn’t speak, but knocked on the table with its iron claws.
Wu Qiao: “…?”
Then, the fifth mech continued: “16416.”
The sixth mech didn’t speak again, and also knocked on the table with its iron claws.
“…” Wu Qiao couldn’t stand it anymore, he coughed softly, and several mechas in the room immediately looked at Wu Qiao.
Ya Jiu yelled and flew over again: “Wu Qiao!”
“Yeah.” Wu Qiao caught Ya Jiu, looked up at them, and asked, “What are you doing?” He still felt pain from being hit, but luckily he was almost used to it.
“Oh,” Ya Jiu replied, “we are playing games.”
“Game? What game?”
“That’s the game of counting seven,” Ya Jiu explained in detail, “We take turns to report the number, starting from the beginning, counting up all the way. But every time a multiple of seven, or a number with seven, we can’t tell. It’s about knocking on the table. If anyone tells it, he loses and has to be punished.”
“You…” Wu Qiao looked at a few mechas with a little surprise, and said, “Your heads are all computers, how could something go wrong?”
These mechas can calculate trillions of times per second, and even if the IQ of Crow Nine is low, it is impossible to make mistakes. When a few of them are wondering whether a number is a multiple of seven, the answer they come to must be correct, and they won’t be entangled repeatedly in their hearts like people.
No wonder… 16417 has already been mentioned… Wu Qiao has never seen such a large number in this game.
Over there, Ya Jiu suddenly realized: “That’s it! Why do I say the game keeps going? It has been playing for several hours.”
“You…” Wu Qiao looked at the other mechas with a complicated expression, “Ah Jiu didn’t react, and you guys don’t know?”
“we know……”
“Then why are you silent?”
“Because Ya Jiu wants to play this game… it is your mecha, we dare not make it unhappy…”
Wu Qiao: “…”
Ya Jiu didn’t expect this to be the reason at all, and it seemed that he was very affected.
“Yujiu,” Wu Qiao patted it, “I hope…you don’t have to go to the front line again.” If you even have to go to the front line, it means that the battle is even more difficult.
After entering the mainland of the Republic, it took another half a year for the coalition forces to expand the battlefield, tore the entrance a little bit, and finally landed in large areas.
The Republic did not expect the neutral Congress to participate in the war at all costs. Before, the Republic did not think about the possibility of a neutral country abandoning its neutrality, but that country has been neutral for more than a hundred years, and it is reasonable to say that there will not be many people who support the war and devote great enthusiasm to it. However, the Republic ignored the power of money. When wealth is closely related to the victory of the war, the opinion leaders of neutral countries are desperate to mobilize the people to join the war. After all, the people who are going to shed blood are not their children.
With the help of neutral countries, the coalition forces have a certain advantage, although the war is still very difficult, every inch of soil is blood.
Even Tan Yan was seriously injured again, and he was injured more severely than before, and was sent back to the flagship for further treatment after being processed in the treatment cabin inside Longyuan. Tan Yan was so painful that he couldn’t sleep, and the analgesic pump continued to administer medicine 24 hours a day, but he still insisted on directing all the battles.
Moreover, he still kept the word from Wu Qiao.
When Wu Qiao learned that Tan Yan was injured, it was already two weeks later, and advanced treatment had almost recovered him.
“Hey,” said another adjutant who reported the situation to Wu Qiao when Ji Yao was absent. “The Marshal is really conscientious. He was afraid that you would replace him, so he didn’t report any injuries. He just continued to fight. “
“…” Wu Qiao knew this was not the reason. That person is afraid that he is worried.
“Also,” the adjutant continued, “the Marshal is truly sincere and loyal to the new country.”
“Oh?”
“Before it was rumored that he was the marshal of the empire, and he always missed his homeland, but this time it was discovered that those were chasing after the storm, and he was wholeheartedly devoted to the new government.”
“I know.” Wu Qiao frowned and asked, “However, how did you tell this?” How could Tan Yan be injured for the country, how could he see his attitude towards the new government?
“Because…” The other party pondered his words, “He was sent back to the flagship when he was injured and unconscious. The military doctor untied his uniform to treat him. When he removed the thing in the way, he found the marshal in his chest pocket. Posted a picture of you.”
Wu Qiao: “…”
“Well, it’s the one that was sworn in, and the photo is facing the heart. How to say, although this is a bit like an imperial piety and is loyal to the individual, it still touches everyone present.”
Wu Qiao: “…”
He naturally understood that Tan Yan’s photos of him in his pocket were definitely not from the imperial period. During the imperial period, Tan Yan never cared about the emperor’s portrait, and was once punished for blocking bullets with the emperor’s portrait in the war.
After the adjutant left, Wu Qiao didn’t wait a second, and immediately contacted Tan Yan.
“Wu Qiao?” Tan Yan asked, “Why? What’s the matter?”
“Are you still asking me what’s wrong?!” Wu Qiao felt that he was going to be mad, “You are injured, don’t you tell me?!”
Tan Yan fell silent: “I don’t want you to worry about me.”
Wu Qiao is really angry this time, his voice is very different from usual: “You are hiding this kind of big thing from me?! I am your lover, and I don’t even know your health condition?!” He thought: The most important thing If you don’t tell him, what kind of love is this?
“Wu Qiao…I’m fine.”
“Tan Yan, do you know?” Wu Qiao’s tone weakened a little, “I am always scared during the day, for fear that someone will hurt you. Only when the truce is at night, I can sleep peacefully, knowing that you are fine, so I can Relax for a while. If there is a fight at night, I will keep my eyes open all night.”
“Wu Qiao…”
“Tan Yan,” Wu Qiao’s voice was a little bit fragile, “Can you have pity on me? Don’t let me… worry about you during the day, and still be suspicious at night. I suspect that you are injured but didn’t say anything. No matter what. Stable.”
“I see.” Tan Yan sighed, “I was wrong. In the future, no matter how bad you are, you will be notified as soon as possible. However, my dear, the way you are really angry is really scary.”
“…I just know it.” After a pause, Wu Qiao said suddenly, “I really want to bite you.”
“Bite again?” Tan Yan smiled helplessly, “I’m almost full of tooth marks on my shoulders. Isn’t your fighting skills very good? How come I just bite with my teeth?”
“The bite I used to be gone, okay?” Wu Qiao had checked it a long time ago, and he couldn’t find even one tooth mark.
“… By the way,” Tan Yan suddenly remembered something, “I want to tell you something.”
“What?” Wu Qiao asked.
“The Guo, Wan, Piao and Pen tribes of the Republic proposed to the Republic more free national autonomy.”
“Oh? Is there such a thing?”
“Ok.”
“…” Wu Qiao knew the background of this request.
There are many ethnic groups in the Republic, and most of them are distributed in the border areas. At present, the coalition forces that have just invaded the mainland of the Republic are right in these four ethnic areas. However, what makes the Republic a headache is that these ethnic groups have different beliefs, have their own set of doctrines, and all yearn for nature and peace, and have always opposed the invasion of the empire. Now, because the coalition forces have always been unconventional behaviors of not grabbing, taking, or killing innocents, as well as the relief supplies and promises that they will never infringe on their pamphlets, these peoples are opposed to war on their turf, they think it will destroy The environment and culture of one’s own nation. The local people not only did not take the initiative to resist the coalition forces, but even set up obstacles to prevent the regular army of the Republic from fighting comfortably. Their slogan was to change places to fight. They did not want to pay for the acts of other nations invading the empire a hundred years ago. Unwilling to let the war destroy their temples and other proud buildings. In addition, some of the policies of the Republican government directed at these ethnic groups have also made the local people very dissatisfied, and they have always complained about the Republican government. In desperation, the government of the Republic had to discuss with local religious leaders and others about ways to get the people to actively participate in the defense, but there was no result after negotiation. For the Republic, it is absolutely impossible to give such a large area to the coalition without resistance. On the one hand, being easily penetrated into the hinterland by the enemy affects the people’s and military spirit; on the other hand, if the battlefield is moved to the depths, the Republic’s losses will be even greater.
Tan Yan also said over there: “Now, the spiritual leaders of the four ethnic groups have proposed that the mobilization should not be brought forward by the government of the Republic, which the people hate, but a new government composed of local people should be formed to allow the same ethnic group. People to persuade the people to rise up to resist. People of the same race have the same beliefs and it will be easier to communicate. Only in this way can we solve the current dilemma. Their opinion is that the new government is self-governing in name, but in fact it is still subordinate to the great government of the Republic.”
“…I see.” Wu Qiao nodded to Tan Yan, “I will pay attention to Ji Yao.”
He had already faintly felt in his heart that this matter might change the entire course of the war.
