Face Slapping the General

Chapter 104 Spring of Hope (middle)

It is said that during the period of organizing the counter-offensive, the commander-in-chief of the Republic who loves to play table tennis often sits on his office chair with a numb expression, and returns the ball regularly with a slap on the wall ping-pong ping-pong. No one knows whether he is really serious about playing, or just unconsciously finding something to do while thinking. Is he remembering the past? Still planning for the future? Feeling sad? Is it hi? It’s all invisible from the surface. He almost never makes mistakes. As a person who once aspired to become a professional player, even if he fails to do so, his skills are far superior to those of amateurs.

A few years after he became the commander-in-chief, he still liked to invite some professionals to compete in his free time, but no matter who he was looking for, the opponent would always deliberately lose to him because he was afraid that he would be in a bad mood. I had another appointment, and instead of hitting the wall in the office, the figure looked very lonely, and this habit became worse at this time.

The republic’s counteroffensive came as scheduled, and the investment in this was far beyond Tan Yan’s expectations.

In order to save manpower, the commander-in-chief adopted a flexible defense-in-depth method. They first reduced the strength of the coalition forces at the front stronghold as much as possible, and then severely attacked the coalition forces on the solid stronghold in the rear, gradually changing from defensive to offensive.

Tan Yan is no stranger to this style of play, but he underestimated the opponent’s hunger for this victory—the Republic’s army on the western front has long been transferred back, the western front, the original eastern front, and the domestic ones. The troops attacked together, almost all resources were used, as if vowing to stop the pace of the coalition forces here.

With such a gap, the coalition forces have become difficult to move forward. Tan Yan even lost three games in a row, and even failed to defend the fortresses he had defeated before, although his opponents also worked hard to win those three games.

Then Wu Qiao felt… Tan Yan seemed to be hiding from him.

…Is it embarrassing? That must be the case, Tan Yan is a face-conscious person in front of him.

Therefore, after a routine meeting, Wu Qiao looked at Tan Yan and said: “Tan Yan, things frustrated… don’t take it to heart.”

“I’m fine.” Tan Yan was a little irritable, “I’m fine, don’t comfort me forcibly.”

Wu Qiao smiled: “Others comforting you are forcibly comforting. It is understandable if you feel uncomfortable, but it is not the same for your lover to comfort you. He is connected with you, can feel what you feel, and has the same mood as you, so he doesn’t Not forcing comfort.”

“…” Tan Yan felt that sometimes when he was like a child, Wu Qiao was more mature.

“Really, there will be no surprises.” Wu Qiao said to Tan Yan, “The Republic has consumed too much in this campaign, and soon the resources will be exhausted. Then it will be the day of our victory.”

“I know.” Tan Yan sighed, “but seeing them counterattack with their own eyes, and they are effective, I still feel a little irritable.”

“Really don’t worry.” Wu Qiao said seriously, “We are righteous.”

Tan Yan glanced at Wu Qiao, and finally there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: “Even now, do you still believe that justice will prevail?” As the head of a country, Wu Qiao would definitely say that when giving a speech, but if he really thinks so. It’s a bit strange, there is a kind of irrational innocence, full of naivety.

Wu Qiao thought for a while: “How should I put it…it’s not the same as the original belief that justice will win. Now I think that war is not so much caused by the evil of human nature as it is also caused by human nature. Weakness. The side that starts the war is not strong enough, it is weak, so it is easier to lose. But we have a steady stream of power that can help us resolve the most serious crisis in history.”

“I really don’t know if I should agree with your remarks.” Tan Yan is a pragmatic person, not as ideal as Wu Qiao.

Wu Qiao asked: “Don’t you believe me?”

“Of course I believe you.”

“That’s fine, I won’t lie to you.” Wu Qiao smiled, “Just believe me, and the advantage will come back soon.”

Wu Qiao was right.

That was indeed the last madness of the opponent.

The Republic consumes too much in the counterattack. The war is like a hillside, and the attack is like a boulder rolling down from the top of the hill. As the boulder continues to scroll down, it gains faster and faster speed and has more and more kinetic energy, so it is getting harder and harder to stop it. Forcibly stopping its momentum will inevitably pay a great price. This is the case for the Republic. When the coalition forces were gaining momentum, they forcibly stopped it, and the effort was greater than expected. This is like a table tennis match. When the physical strength is already exhausted, although he worked hard to score the point in the stalemate, it is very likely that what awaits him afterwards is a quicker rout. The commander-in-chief did not expect that he would be so tired after winning that point.

What makes the Republic desperate is that the reserve force of the coalition forces is too strong, and both personnel and money are constantly pouring in like a tide.

Nothing can stop it, this monster stumbles towards the abyss, but before it falls into the abyss, it must drag many people to bury it.

When the enemy’s successor was obviously weak, Tan Yan began to approach the Capital Star again from three sides.

He sits in the middle of the road by himself. On the left and right are the generals of the former Eastern Front and the other is the officer of the neutral country. Both of them are very capable, and Tan Yan also recognizes them.

Among them, the victory in the central raid was the greatest.

Tan Yan’s first step to deceive the enemy was inspired by a story told by Wu Qiao. While desperately defending, Tan Yan was under pressure and irritated, and Wu Qiao didn’t know what to do. He asked Tan Yan what he could do to make him feel better, but Tan Yan asked Wu Qiao to sing a song. Wu Qiao really doesn’t know how to sing, so he asked to tell a story, and Tan Yan agreed. Wu Qiao pondered for a long time, and finally remembered that Tan Yan had deceived the soldiers of the Republic and made him think that the food and water of the coalition forces were very high-end. He insinuated and talked about “The wolf is coming”-the kid who ran the sheep deceived people to say that the wolf is coming for fun , The third time the wolf really came but no one believed it. The sheep’s flock was bitten badly by the wolf. Then, Wu Qiao told Tan Yan that if he deceived himself, he would suffer the consequences in the future. Tan Yan was silent for a while after listening. Just when Wu Qiao thought he was introspecting, Tan Yan asked suspiciously what is meant by “the kid who keeps sheep”.

Tan Yan, who knew that the enemy’s consumption was too huge and confirmed the offensive and raid, didn’t know what was going on, so he remembered the story Wu Qiao told.

He gave out false news five times, and then every time it was the time stated in the news, the whole battlefield was silent.

The soldiers of the Republic were very suspicious of their intelligence capabilities after waiting five times but nothing happened.

By the sixth time, the soldiers took it for granted that the news must have been wrong again.

Unexpectedly, Tan Yan really carried out a surprise attack this time, and the response of the Republic, which had obtained information in advance, was worse than usual.

Then, Tan Yan forced the opponent’s army into a fortress in the Republic. This fortress was once captured by Tan Yan, but was not held later, and returned in the three failed battles.

“Strange…” Seeing this scene, Ji Yao asked Wu Qiao, “Why don’t you fight over there? All the Republicans entered the fortress, and it is very easy to defend… the marshal should change the road.” Hearing Ji Yao’s words, Wu Qiao shook. Shaking his head, did not say anything.

Ji Yao didn’t expect that after an hour of this conversation, the entire fortress would disappear in an instant! It turned out that Tan Yan had moved his hands and feet in the fortress, hiding the anti-matter weapons in the depths. Once the anti-matter weapon is triggered and the container is broken, it will cancel and annihilate the positive matter, explode and release huge energy! This is the bomb that Tan Yan planted after he knew he couldn’t keep it, waiting for the opportunity to come in handy in the future.

A fortress and the people in it vanished in an instant, and the soldiers of the Republic trembled in their hearts, because they all felt that defeat was just ahead. Some people even took up weapons and wounded their right hand, just to avoid going to the battlefield.

The Republic is simply afraid of talking.

Tan Yan actually left some moths every time he lost. Last time he left food and water to make the soldiers greedy, but this time he simply left a huge bomb.

They don’t even know whether they should want to win well or should they want to lose.

Tan Yan is too treacherous.

The day when the army was annihilated in the fortress was the Republic’s Black Friday.

The fact that it does not cost a single blow has dealt a serious blow to the Republic.

The commander-in-chief who loves to play table tennis said a word after this time. He said: “I thought the war should be over… I am not saying that I lost hope, I can continue to fight for victory, but we have exhausted our country. The most important thing is that our young people are almost gone. All the young people died on the battlefield. This result is more terrifying than surrender, because it will affect at least a hundred years. Yes, at this stage, continue the war…I don’t think it’s worth it.”

Before he said this, he shut himself up and played the ball all night, as if he knew that he would never touch the ball again. Maybe he was regretting, regretting that he shouldn’t give up his dream to enter the army and do something he didn’t like, or maybe he didn’t, who knows.

After he had said this, he was deprived of his real power. The President of the Republic stated that he did not consider moving the capital, which is of little significance. The capital has the strongest defense and he will fight himself.

…

-In 2270 of the galactic calendar, the allied and neutral forces surrounded the capital of the Republic.

However, although the Republic has no hope, the planetary defense as the capital is still very strong.

The dense beam of light concealed the brilliance of the stars in the sky, and the entire sky was as bright as day. The powerful firepower made the coalition forces unable to get closer.

It is impossible for the person who was hit to leave the remains, and the light of the fire directly turned into a shroud to bring the person into the underworld.

“It really is the Capital Star…” Tan Yan frowned.

Even if it is surrounded, it is still difficult to take it down.
