District 9

In the office, Xiang Zehao saluted after entering the room: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief!"

Qin Yu smiled helplessly, stood up and greeted each other: "You and I, please stop trying to fix things and sit down!"

Xiang Zehao took off his military cap, reached out and put the thermos box in his hand on the table: "Your sister-in-law personally made the chicken soup for you to nourish your body."

"Haha, I don't do confinement, so why bother sister-in-law?"

"Now the three armies are pointing at you," Xiang Zehao bent down and sat down: "You deserve some privileges."

"... Then just drinking soup won't make you full. My sister-in-law has to give me two steamed buns to satisfy my craving." Qin Yu coughed twice and said in an inhumane manner.

Although Xiang Zehao is not good at joking, he is also very venomous: "My sister-in-law's steamed buns are good, you should satisfy your craving at her place."

The two greasy middle-aged men exchanged a few words with each other and immediately looked at each other and smiled.

Qin Yu sat on the sofa, opened the thermos box with trembling hands, and drank the soup unceremoniously: "Your troops fought very well on the frontier battlefield. Without your support, Brother Yin would not dare to do so aggressively. Baal City.”

"The troops at Beifengkou are sworn enemies of Free Chan. The upper-level command does not need to mobilize at all. The soldiers will become red-eyed when they see them." Xiang Zehao frowned and said, "But to be honest... this battle was not a relief."

"What should I say?" Qin Yu asked with a frown.

"There is one item in Meng Xi's plan that I very much agree with."

"Which one?"

"... We are at a huge disadvantage in the fourth area, and Freeland has no capital to take the initiative to attack in the sixth area. Once Baal City is lost, they have few troops and their forward position is too far back. The future situation is likely to be, The other side will use all its strength to stop Gu Yan and destroy Tengba's army, while the Sixth District will only defend." Xiang Zehao looked at Qin Yu and said: "By then, we will be very uncomfortable. The Sixth District cannot be phased in. To expand the results of the war, the Fourth District could not withstand the encirclement and suppression of the European District 1 and other forces... In the end, our counterattack seemed to be effective, but in fact... the purpose of the war was not achieved, that is, failure."

When Qin Yu heard this, goosebumps appeared all over his body. He put down his spoon and replied: "I have the same view as you. If the focus of the war is not moved southward, Gu Yan will not be able to win, and may even be wiped out. . And if the Free Alliance in District 6 is like a bastard and only relies on the mountains to hold on... then it will be difficult for us to break in. And the European District 1 will never watch the Free Alliance collapse. If necessary, they will probably attack from the Xibo Naval Base. Increase troops. So the current situation in District Six is ​​actually not optimistic."

"That's right." Xiang Zehao nodded with deep understanding: "If we cannot win this war with a big advantage, then the process will be meaningless. Fighting in the Sixth District means resisting the enemy at your doorstep. If we cannot be completely victorious, how can we lose face in front of our ancestors?"

"What do you think?" Qin Yu asked.

"I agree with Meng Xi's plan." Xiang Zehao said bluntly: "I didn't express my position today because I didn't understand Meng Xi's ideas at all. I went back and took another look at his battle plan. Although it was too radical and risky, I think There is a chance, especially in the context of the disagreement between Zhou Clan and He Feng, and as the civil strife in Europe 1 becomes increasingly serious."

"Well, there are many people who oppose this plan, and I am also under a lot of pressure. I have been thinking about many things in my heart for a long time today, but in the end I still didn't say them." Qin Yu looked at Xiang Zehao: "But after listening to your analysis, I My inner thoughts became more determined.”

Xiang Zehao was silent for three seconds: "The most important part of Meng Xi's plan is the one that determines the outcome of the war. I want to be the sharp knife that crushes Ou District 1."

Qin Yu looked at him and thought seriously.

"...Xiao Yu, do you still remember...why I chose to cooperate with you when we first met?" Xiang Zehao suddenly asked.

Qin Yu was stunned.

"To be honest, I didn't like you people at first, especially you." Xiang Zehao said very directly: "As a soldier, your mind is full of political interests and self-interest. During the Conglong War... ...You are also rushing to receive the certificate of investment, and you have not considered the problem from the overall situation."

Qin Yu did not refute.

"But I still choose to cooperate with you and stand on your side on many things." Xiang Zehao rubbed his palms and asked, "Do you know why?"

"Because of Governor Gu?" Qin Yu asked back.

"Yes, it's because of Governor Gu. He has a national vision, is the backbone of the military, and is the only leader in the broken mountains and rivers that the Chinese area can place hope on. If you follow him, you will not deviate." Xiang Zehao paused. , with sincere eyes, said: "Since you became the actual leader of the Sichuan government, and later in the Battle of Zangyuan, you used your body as a bait to quell the civil strife, and now... you are willing to lead your troops out of the border and resist the enemy overseas... I I watched you grow up, so I am willing to follow you now."

Qin Yu nodded slowly.

"I have always regarded national rejuvenation as my ideal." Xiang Zehao looked forward and whispered: "...The tragedy of the times should end with our generation. I volunteered to fight, sprinkle my Hot blood strengthens our mountains and rivers, which is the highest honor for soldiers."

Qin Yu reached out and patted Xiang Zehao's shoulder heavily: "I am a good warlord, Lao Leizi. I should have lived like a god...but in the end I was infected by you guys!"

Xiang Zehao looked at Qin Yu and grinned.

…

In a bar in Yanbei.

Coco originally just wanted to sit down and have a couple of drinks to relax her mind, but she didn't expect that after listening to the song for a while, she suddenly felt the desire to express herself, so she took the initiative to suggest to the waiter that she wanted to sing a song on stage.

Naturally, the bar would not refuse such a request from a beautiful woman. After waiting in line for a while, Coco stepped onto the stage. The band member borrowed a guitar, sat on a high chair, and started playing and singing.

Coco is a talented girl who used to like music. When she was in District 4, she wrote a song by herself, but she never sang it.

The light in the bar was dim and the guitar played a melody.

Walking barefoot through the fog and darkness

Frost, snow and cold wind, invisible mountain tops

The homes under the high walls

The story begins on this day

I saw gray clouds sweeping across the night

I heard useless prayers to save countless hardships

I lost what I once had in exchange for unknown anxiety

I know that life is full of good and evil

Seeing the flames of war in troubled times, who dares to say that I can see the sky in the distance?

Bloodstained Throne condenses the past

The richest is the most desolate

Lost on a certain road

I'm sorry for what I couldn't say

Looking back at the road we came from

I have regrets, but I will live up to my life.

The slightly sad soundtrack and lyrics quickly attracted the attention of other tourists, because everyone noticed that this song was written about the current era and the present.

Coco was completely immersed in her own emotions, and the noise of the bar was gone from her ears.

In the bar, in the far left corner, a woman also wearing a black windbreaker looked at Coco blankly and listened to the music quietly.
