Face Slapping the General

Chapter 47 Preparing for a decisive battle (part 2)

Wu Qiao found a container, took some soil outside, carefully buried the flower seeds, and then watered it.

I don’t know if it will grow…

The soil on this planet is very different. Even the color is very deep crimson, and Wu Qiao doesn’t know what mineral content is in it, so he has to sprinkle some seeds first.

Hope it can grow out.

Wu Qiao patted the soil in the flowerpot again for fear.

Its flower language is… miss each other?

After Ya Jiu was ready, Wu Qiao started training.

Now, the cooperation between him and Ya Jiu is much better than before.

There is very little noise in his brain waves, so Ya Jiu can execute orders quickly.

In fact, even if there are a lot of impurities in Wu Qiao’s brain waves, Crow Jiu can extract combat instructions after analysis, but that will consume a lot of unnecessary time. Moreover, Ajiu’s own IQ is not too high, the time required to process information will be further increased, and will be at a disadvantage in battle.

After listening to Wu Qiao’s words, “If you don’t want to make progress like this, Long Yuan will definitely look down on you”, Ya Jiu practiced very hard.

“Beat you to death!” Ya Jiu yelled as he contacted, “Beat you to death! Beat you to death!”

After a while, Wu Qiao couldn’t help asking: “Who beaten to death?”

“A very annoying mecha… It’s really very, very annoying…” Ya Jiu said, “I treat it as an imaginary enemy, so I can practice more vigorously.”

“How did it provoke you?”

“It… it’s the mecha that hit me that time…”

“It hit you?” Wu Qiao remembered. That time, Ya Jiu entered the factory innocently as soon as it was repaired. The reason was that the other two mechas had a fight and spread to it.

“Later, I asked it to apologize to me, saying that it would shorten my lifespan. But…it said it would shorten it, and it also broke my birthday.”

“…” Wu Qiao was a little angry when he heard it.

Before Ya Jiu came over, he bought a ceramic birthday star to display. Wu Qiao naturally knew this clearly. Ya Jiu said that it would never die without chasing Long Yuan, so he bought a lifespan for auspiciousness.

At that time, Wu Qiao saw that Ya Jiu bought a birthday star back, and was deeply surprised by Ya Jiu’s peculiar thinking.

Later, in the base, Ya Jiu was ridiculed by this birthday star.

Ya Jiu said again: “I’ve been angry for several days!”

“That,” Wu Qiao asked Ya Jiudao, “I’ll go talk to his driver.”

“No need.” Ya Jiu suddenly twitched, “Long Yuan…has…teached it.”

“…”

“What I said to Long Yuan, I bought that birthday star to bless me to live until you accept me, but I was broken by it, and Long Yuan would come out.”

“How come?”

“Just… I told them in the past that Ya Jiu is protecting them, let them be honest in the future.” Thinking of the way Long Yuan was at that time, Ya Jiu’s voice has a slight change in tone.

Wu Qiao couldn’t help but asked again, “When did it happen?”

“Just this morning, before the admiral returns.”

Wu Qiao thought about it: “You and Long Yuan…”

“I will soon… succeed, right?” After saying that, Ya Jiu shyly covered his face with a small iron claw, “So, I need to be motivated, not to be rejected by it, and I can’t fall short at this time.”

Wu Qiao: “…”

Is it also this morning? This morning is really…

He was actually a little sad, because he vaguely felt that using Long Yuan to deceive Ya Jiu would soon be useless.

“By the way, I don’t think you are right.” Ya Jiu changed the subject.

“What’s wrong?”

“You, when you gave me orders today, although the noise was not too much, the useless information was all about the general.”

Wu Qiao: “…”

“What do you always want him to do?” Ya Jiu said, “I see him tired.”

“It’s okay.” Wu Qiao didn’t want to talk to Ya Jiu in detail, because Ya Jiu would definitely ask questions.

After finishing the training and returning, Wu Qiao received a briefing from Tan Yan that he was safe.

Tan Yan said he had arrived.

I set off early in the morning, jumped a few times in the middle, and arrived at Capital Star in the evening.

“Admiral.” Wu Qiao looked at Tan Yan and said, “During training today, Ya Jiu said that I always think of you.”

After speaking, Wu Qiao’s face was a little hot.

He was serious about asking for advice, advice on how to concentrate, but now it sounds like he is acting like a baby, as if he is expressing miss after the admiral left.

Fortunately, the other party did not tease him.

Tan Yan smiled: “So you still have to concentrate.”

“…” Wu Qiao felt that he still couldn’t do it now.

“It’s actually not difficult. You can practice more.” Tan Yan reassured him, “In my own case, when I want to fight, I will concentrate on fighting, and when I think of you, I will concentrate on you.”

Wu Qiao’s heart bounced twice again.

Tan Yan seemed to be ignorant of speaking in these two days, and he didn’t know if it was related to his attitude.

However, Wu Qiao must admit that the other party’s words made his heart itch.

“Admiral.” Wu Qiao asked again, “The military department urgently calls you back, will the matter be serious?” In Wu Qiao’s eyes, it must be something extraordinary.

“Serious shit!” Speaking of this, Tan Yan was full of anger, “Sean’s kidding!”

“……what?”

Tan Yan explained: “The day before yesterday, he asked me where I was, and I said I was here in Darrell. He asked me if there was anything important, and I said it was nothing, so I just looked at it. I really shouldn’t have said that. Yesterday was the empire’s April Fools’ Day. He lied to me that there was a first-degree situation, so he gave me back!”

When Tan Yan thought about the way he was when he rushed back, Xiao En pointed at him and said “hahahahaha laughed cry”, and he felt that he wanted to beat him especially.

Wu Qiao: “…”

“However,” Tan Yan said, “Something…stunnel happened today. It’s okay for me to come back. Although it’s useless to come back, I can always calm down the arguments in the military headquarters.”

Hearing this, Wu Qiao’s heart shuddered: “What’s the matter?”

“Wu Qiao, you also know that because of the continuous campaigns, the funds for the military are insufficient.”

“Correct.”

The emperor once ordered to support the front line as much as possible, but he was always stretched for money.

In the past, the tactics used by the Chancellor of the Exchequer were conventional ones. For example, the issuance of treasury bonds, especially high-yield treasury bonds, the coveted high yields drove the empire’s major banks and companies.

However, it is not enough…

Tan Yan sighed, completely treating Wu Qiao as a person around him, and dared to say anything: “In order to fight the war, the emperor put pressure on the minister of finance to ask him to seek military expenses.”

“…”

“Under this pressure, he finally became fierce.”

“What?” Wu Qiao was shocked when he heard it, and really wanted to know what happened.

“Surely you know both the egg bank and the duck egg bank, right?”

“Of course.” These are the two largest banks in the empire. The Egg Bank, Duck Egg Bank, Goose Egg Bank and Quail Egg Bank are also called the “Four Major Banks.” Almost 80% of the people in the Empire deposit their money in the four major banks.

“Then maybe you don’t know yet. Today, these two major industries have officially fallen into the hands of the officials.”

“Huh?” Wu Qiao didn’t quite understand, “It was originally from the official family, the emperor owns the entire empire.” Isn’t this sentence already in the world?

“No.” Tan Yan told him again, “Even the emperor can’t take other people’s property directly without reason.”

“Oh… that’s true.”

“Egg Bank and Duck Egg Bank are both private banks, founded by private capital. Later, the business has grown bigger and bigger, and now most of the shareholders have entered in their own name.”

“I seem to have heard of it.” Wu Qiao is not familiar with these things. However, he had heard that the two banks were first co-founded by a group of entrepreneurs. He asked again: “What the **** is going on?”

“Recently, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that the old bonds will be discarded and new bonds will be issued. However, an old bond can be used to offset a part of a new bond. In other words, if the original face value is 50 yuan, the newly issued bond The face value is 100 yuan, so an old bond can be used to buy half of the new bond. After the buyer handed over the old bond, he can buy a new bond for another 50. This is a hook that hooks people, if the old bond Holders do not want all their previous investments to be squandered, so they only have to spend money to redeem those new bonds. Naturally, the effect is much better than direct issuance.

“Ok.”

“At that time, when the old debt was issued, the egg bank and the duck egg bank bought a lot because of the high profits. This time the exchange was all difficult to make, and only continued to buy.”

“and then?”

“Then? The chancellor is really playing a game of chess.” Tan Yan said again, “A few days later, the two banks reported that their turnover and profits in the last fiscal year were not as good as expected-you know, this year’s war was fought. During the war, everyone was in danger. Not many people made deposits and loans. Of course, the banks did not perform well. Because it was not as expected, the chancellor persuaded the two banks to issue additional stocks on the grounds that they would bring in more investors’ money to help them. Through the difficult times, the two banks agreed without any doubt.”

Wu Qiao did not speak, he knew that Tan Yan would continue to speak.

Sure enough, Tan Yan said: “What they never expected was that the Ministry of Finance… bought almost all of the additional shares! It turned out that these two banks used the money to buy new bonds! After the additional shares… The number of shares held has increased from 20%, 25% to 55% and 58%, respectively… It has become the largest shareholder of the two banks. I heard that they intend to quickly dismiss the general managers of the two banks after they move in.”

“This…” Wu Qiao seemed to understand once again, the true meaning of the four words “be careful and deliberate”.

but……

He didn’t understand economic matters very well, so he had to ask Tan Yan, “What will happen next?”

“I want to know that the two largest banks will become the money bag of the military from now on.”

“So,” Wu Qiao continued to ask him, “What will happen in the future? Why are you so worried?” As Tan Yan…well…As for what Tan Yan is about, Wu Qiao could see that Tan Yan was very worried.

Tan Yan sighed, leaning on the back of the chair, looking up at the ceiling, Wu Qiao could see the beautiful lines of his chin and Adam’s apple.

Tan Yan said: “I think the Chancellor of the Exchequer will continue to occupy other banks… In this way, all the deposits of the entire empire will be in their hands.”

All the deposits of the entire empire are in their hands?

“Then use the money to fight wars?” Wu Qiao asked.

“Yes… it’s good to just go to war.” Tan Yan does have a lot of worry between his eyebrows. “He probably…uses all the money first, and then prints money crazily, causing currency depreciation. A depositor Now 100 yuan is deposited, and when it is taken out, the 100 yuan will be reduced to the current 10 yuan… Through this method, all the money that the people of the empire had worked so hard to save before was taken to war.”

“…”

“Do you see the shamelessness of this method?” Tan Yan said, “First of all, there is almost no premium for the additional shares of the two banks. Second, the money he used to control the two banks was the two banks themselves. Out.”

“…”

“I’m always a little uneasy these days.” Tan Yan stretched out his hand and touched his squeezed brow. “I am worried that the empire will be fought in this war… more and more unscrupulous. The empire is now too focused on’articles’-I mean war. I am afraid that the tools used will gradually lose popularity.”

“No.” Wu Qiao said seriously. “Everyone in the empire now supports the army, hoping to win this war as soon as possible.” Wu Qiao has no doubt about this. For him, for most people in the empire, if the military department really needs money, they can even donate all their property.

“…I hope so.” Tan Yan said, “I hope I think too much.”

Wu Qiao felt that Tan Yan didn’t seem to be really relieved.

He felt that Tan Yan was thinking too much, but maybe, there is really something he doesn’t understand?

The conversation ended in a very depressing atmosphere.

After washing up, Wu Qiao crawled back to the bed and lay down, thinking that Tan Yan had to worry about so many things, and this year he was only 32 years old, so he felt a little bit distressed inexplicably.

It would be nice if peace could be made sooner…

This evening, Wu Qiao had a spring dream that he overwhelmed the general.

When I got up in the morning, I felt very ashamed and hurriedly washed the sheets.

——After a while, Wu Qiao continued to practice.

The empire also finally locked the location of the main base.

However, this time it was not the information sent back undercover, but was obtained through traditional means.

The empire spent several years analyzing the people who had something to do with that boss bit by bit, and finally narrowed the scope from 3,000 to 300. Every time one of them was captured, the empire would interrogate repeatedly, trying to obtain all useful information. A total of more than 100 people were interrogated in a few years.

A while ago, they captured an important person who also didn’t know the whereabouts of the boss, but they confessed to a messenger who was one of the boss’s most trusted people.

After discovering a small base, the empire did not bomb, but chose to set up an ambush on the only way. The messenger did not know any fraud, and eventually became a fish in the net. The most famous torture expert in the empire spent three days and three nights interrogating, and finally he revealed the location of the main base.

The military decided to make a raid as soon as possible.

The commander-in-chief is determined to be sinus plasma.

You Tiao failed in the last operation, and the military department feared that he would have concerns.

However, Olivier was not aware of all these plans.

The time of the raid he got was two weeks later than the correct one. In fact, Sinus decided to immediately organize troops to launch an attack on that base.

According to common sense, the messenger should be transferred immediately after being captured.

However, they believed in the information that Olivier had sent, so they felt that it was more interesting to set up the base as a “surprise for the empire” than to flee in a hurry. After all, the empire suffered a heavy loss last time. Moreover, on the basis of Wu Qiao’s suggestion, the empire adopted various deceptive methods to prove Olivier’s claims are true. For example, the empire’s meteorological department declared that the empire’s border base was about to encounter extreme weather, let You Tiao and fake sins. People who appeared frequently appeared elsewhere. For example, the Minister of National Defense gave a speech on the day the captives confessed and made a cheerful look, indicating that there will be “good news” in two weeks…

Failure in history is often related to mistakes and negligence.

The troops were properly arranged-to land first, then land, to cut off the rescue line…

Wu Qiao was placed in the first wave of assault troops.

Their task is to bomb the main target, try to destroy the opponent’s main weapons, as well as the landing platforms of starships and mechas, so that they disappear and cannot be used at all.

Wu Qiao knows that accomplishing the goal is very important. The fewer the number of warships and mechas the opponent can dispatch, the weaker the counter-offensive force one will encounter soon.

At the same time, they need to assist the second batch of troops. The second batch of large numbers of people, the main task is to provide air cover for the third unit, so that the third batch of troops can land on the base. The combat capability of the third batch of troops is not strong, because they will bring a lot of materials to quickly build fortifications and rear landing platforms, so that the final large troops can land on the base, clear all obstacles on the ground, and conduct large-scale searches. Since Sinus knows that many buildings in the base are underground, aerial bombing alone may not be able to achieve the desired effect.

On the day of the decisive battle, Wu Qiao left from another base.

In order to confuse the opponent, Darrell’s base is quiet.

In order to keep it secret, few people knew that Olivier had been found to be a traitor. Before setting off, Wu Qiao felt an atmosphere of anxiety permeating his ship.

In any case, it was a failure last time, and it was still a fiasco. Without knowing that the traitor is known, fear is inevitable. Despite Darrell’s encouragement many times, there are still many soldiers who are pessimistic.

“Colonel.” Finally, when the ship was about to start, his communications officer stood up, “I want to ask to leave the ship!”

“Approve.” Wu Qiao didn’t even look at the other party. “Leave the bridge immediately and wait for punishment. The Deputy Communications Officer will make up.”

“…”

Just like that, Wu Qiao’s ship was missing one person.

He didn’t know whether other ships had the same situation, or if only he had trained a deserter.

In fact, Sinus will announce the “deception plan” after reaching the periphery of the opponent’s general base. At that time, all people would understand that it was the other party who was really being tricked this time, and this unexpected joy would make them even more emotionally fighting.

After a long journey, they finally saw the target.

The earth on the surface of the planet is gray-black again, closer to the neutral country, sharing an artificial sun with the neutral country.

It feels very similar to the last general base, and it should indeed be a base location that opponents will like.

“Strike!” The first batch of troops was commanded by Darrell. After the designated time, he issued a powerful statement of war.

Darrell, it is true that the older the body, the stronger the heart.

Wu Qiao and they skimmed over neatly, and they bombarded the target indiscriminately!

The flames continued to spread, which showed the empire’s determination to put its opponents to death this time.

There was no error in the Imperial Intelligence this time.

Soon, Wu Qiao saw the Xianglong Wings resistance forces rushing out!

This time, it is no longer an automated weapon, nor is it an ugly insect, but a real person with the wings of a dragon!

Wu Qiao didn’t hesitate to see one of the mechas, and he flew straight towards the Ya Jiu he was manipulating!

“boom!”

When the two mechas were about to intersect, the opponent suddenly shot through the sky!

“…!”

Wu Qiao quickly opened the shield and stepped away.

After the two played for dozens of rounds, watching each other’s actions, Wu Qiao felt a familiar feeling in his heart.

I must know this person…

A name flashed in his mind.

The one who gritted his teeth with hatred.

——Aquash.

Both of them have a sum of old accounts.

If it were not for him, perhaps Sheng Zhongguang would not die. At that time, the two parties clearly wanted to exchange prisoners…

The two were classmates before. Although Akash hides his strength, some styles still cannot be changed. After that, Wu Qiao was undercover for half a year, and he got along with Akwas day and night, and he was really familiar with him.

Even if the other party is not the same as before, Wu Qiao can discover the truth from clues.

Did he deliberately target himself…Because Akash was very familiar with Ya Jiu’s appearance, Wu Qiao couldn’t help but guess like this.

Wu Qiao’s thoughts flashed, and the attack became more fierce.

At this time, he found his communication equipment flickered.

Could it be…Aquash?

Wu Qiao connected the other party.

“Hi, Wu Qiao.”

“…” Sure enough, it was the voice he would never forget.

Aquash searched for all the nearby communication signals, locked on the Crow Jiu’s and called.

“You are Wu Qiao? Why don’t you speak?”

“…” Wu Qiao reached out and turned off the instrument.

At this moment he doesn’t need to renew the past, all he needs is victory.
