Face Slapping the General

Chapter 68 Take a sharp turn (middle)

Sean was suddenly assassinated, and the entire empire was in chaos.

The Empire and the Republic hurriedly reached an agreement. The Republic withdrew from the Empire’s territory, but the Empire failed to recruit its troops.

The good situation turned out to be like this, and there was a lot of scolding from all over the empire.

Tan Yan immediately returned to the capital to discuss what happened after Xiao En’s death.

A full week later, the adaptation plan was released-Darren, who has been in the limelight in recent years, will be promoted to control the current situation as a new commander.

However, it was counterproductive. The more eager to establish prestige by the military department and Darren himself, the more disappointing his performance on the battlefield.

“Actually,” Tan Yan said to Wu Qiao, “this is not an objective manifestation of his true strength.”

“Admiral Dai Lun was clearly capable before.”

“Yes.” Tan Yan said, “I think, one is because of the lack of preparation for the sudden takeover, and the other is because the people after Xiao En’s death are flustered.”

“Ok.”

“Wu Qiao…” Tan Yan suddenly lowered his voice.

“how?”

“My dear, what?” Tan Yan changed his name suddenly, “I will tell you something.”

“…talk.”

“In order to allow Darren to win the battle as quickly as possible, and to make people believe that Darren can replace Sean, the Secretary of Defense asked Darren to borrow some of the most elite troops from me. Darren asked you to go there by name, and I have promised him. “I want to come. It was Wu Qiao’s previous performances that left an impression on the general.

“Then what should you do here?”

“After all the calculations, I can hold it.”

“Oh…” Wu Qiao said nothing.

“I’m sorry…” Tan Yan suddenly apologized, “I clearly said that I will always be together.”

“It’s okay.” Wu Qiao looked into the other person’s eyes, “It’s okay to separate, I won’t be difficult.”

The light in Tan Yan’s eyes dimmed: “…Is that so?”

“Yes, I’m used to it.” Wu Qiao looked into the distance, “Actually, I found out that as long as I have the expectation that I will see each other again soon, the days of separation will become a little bit sweeter. …Look for the good.”

“Then, I will say goodbye soon.”

Goodbye, these two words are really very special. It is very empty, so simple that even a two-year-old child understands its meaning. At the same time, it seems to be the most complicated word. Just two words contain countless information.

Facts have proved that Dai Lun still has a foresight to see people.

Dai Lun, who had suffered successive defeats, finally had an outstanding performance after “borrowing” the troops from Wu Qiao and others.

Before the empire, a large area of ​​stars was captured by the Republic. In the battle to regain many planets, Darren could be described as losing his troops and losing his army.

“It’s difficult.” Darren pointed his finger at the map, “The enemy’s defense is very tenacious, and there are no loopholes. Every time, we have to work hard to capture a fortress. The cost of moving forward is much higher than expected. “At present, the imperial army is advancing from the occupied area close to the center of the empire towards the border.

After being confused and lost, it is really difficult to get it back.

The defenses on many planets can be said to be solid. If you want to defeat them all, the casualties of the Imperial Army will probably be an astronomical number.

“Admiral Dai Lun.” Wu Qiao said suddenly, “We should be able to guess which planets are easy to defend.” After all, those were previously imperial territories.

“Yes.” Darren thought, but it wasn’t very useful. This is how it is to regain lost ground, and even the hardest bones must be gnawed down.

“I think,” Wu Qiao stretched out his slender fingers to draw on the map, “we should abandon the liberation of those planets.”

“What?” Darren frowned.

“Giving up the liberation of those planets.” Wu Qiao raised his eyes to look at Dai Lun.

“…”

“Grasping one by one and advancing step by step will not only be extremely time-consuming, but will also increase casualties.”

“…”

“We take it for granted that if we want to regain an area, we must drive out all the enemy troops in this area. In fact, this is not necessarily the case. What we want is the ultimate victory.”

“So what’s your opinion?”

“leapfrog.”

“leapfrog?”

“Yes, after regaining a planet, instead of attacking the next planet, you skip it and regain the next star! Of course, the application will not be so rigid, but the most important thing is to take the strategic position and give up at the same time. The stars that are easy to defend and difficult to attack are used to improve efficiency and progress. As for the skipped planets, they will eventually succumb in isolation. As long as we occupy strategically significant planets, we can achieve air blockade against other stars. It is completely isolated. For example, if we guard the roots of the vines and cut them all off, the flowers on the plants will wither on their own.”

“Use blockade…” Darren groaned.

“Yes.” Wu Qiao’s voice is not warm, “They are so hungry that they surrender.”

“…” Don’t fight, but hungry…?

“If they are so hungry that they surrender, we can take down these most difficult planets without a single soldier.”

“Wu Qiao.”

“in.”

Dai Lun smiled: “I know why Tan Yan likes you.”

“what?!”

“You do have the talent to become a famous commander.”

“…”

Because of Wu Qiao’s tactics, the process of regaining the empire was much faster.

This is not only due to the jumping star, but also because the target enemy is not prepared.

In the early stages of the implementation of tactics, many defenders had no idea that the goal of the empire would be themselves, because there was clearly a planet ahead that was not occupied by the empire. They are still sleeping peacefully, the thoughts in the dream are still with their family members, they are walking around the park with their parents, drinking red wine with their wives, dancing happily with the children, and what is happening outside is completely unaware of the dream. what’s up.

In the later stages of this tactic, the defenders did not dare to move ahead because they did not know the next goal of the empire. They were always behind on the board, and this backward move was enough to change many, many things.

The Republic also thought of some countermeasures, such as active attacks, but Darren can resolve them overall.

In the end, the Imperial Army skipped 59 planets in total. The defenders on these 59 planets totaled nearly 250,000. One can imagine how much manpower and material resources would be lost if the Imperial Army was attacked one by one.

The battle to recapture the territory lasted for three months. Three months later, all the Republican forces that had been trapped for a long time were captured.

The number of surrenders reached an unprecedented 200,000, and nearly 50,000 soldiers would rather starve to death than succumb.

…

However, although Darren won this time after borrowing a few elite troops, overall the current situation in the empire is still pessimistic.

Everyone can see that the empire is really tough.

The empire is constantly occupied by territories. Once this side is made up, the other side will be missed. Either here or there is fallen. Even Tan Yan, after “lending” some of the most elite troops to Dai Lun. Several defeats.

It seems that it is only a matter of time before the Republic further enters the empire’s homeland.

New recruits cannot be recruited, so the empire can only find another way.

Now that the situation is so bad, if it doesn’t change, it will only wait for the country to subdue.

In this context, a white bird is reused.

A Shiratori has his own set of cruel training theory. He was originally a professor of psychology, but he has a special liking for the application of psychology to combat, especially in soldier training. He believes that it is of great significance to improve the overall quality of soldiers.

He was hired by the military two years ago. Although he has an official title, he still likes to be called a “professor.”

He advocates treating soldiers harshly, severely reprimanding and punishing them, even insults and beatings, so that the soldiers will trigger a chain reaction due to repression, and vent all the anger that cannot be released to the enemy, which can be done in a short time. make achievement.

In the past two years, his ideas have not been put into practice, but now, at this moment, the Minister of National Defense wants to give his theory a try.

Tan Yan strongly opposed this.

In his opinion, the civilian minister of defense is a bit naive.

“There is no way now!” The Minister of National Defense also blushed. “Don’t you see, the age of iron and blood and ruthlessness has come.”

“…”

“Ordinary soldiers will not know that this is using human psychology. We will only tell them that the training will be more stringent, and the purpose of strictness is to cultivate higher-quality people.”

Dai Lun had just been promoted and did not dare to disobey the Secretary of Defense. Tan Yan was isolated and helpless. He could not persuade him. However, the Secretary of Defense agreed that Tan Yan would try it out on a small scale.

The results of the small-scale trial are gratifying, and the training of one piece can be said to be immediate.

The soldiers who fought were fierce and even bloodthirsty at once, and the battle that had not been optimistic about it was won.

As a result, this method was quickly extended to the entire army.

When Tan Yan took the time to see Wu Qiao again, Wu Qiao’s body was also green.

“Mentally sick?!” Tan Yan felt very irritable, “Even you are punished?!”

“No.” Wu Qiao shook his head, “I did it myself.”

“…What did you do?” This Wu Qiao, who made a fortune, felt that he had a heart to do it.

Wu Qiao was silent before speaking again: “I am very opposed to punishing my subordinates, so I said that if you want to punish them, you must first punish me and then…”

“Sure enough.”

“Hey…” After a few seconds, Wu Qiao said again: “My Shangguan can’t help it.”

“Who is your chief now?” Tan Yan knew that after being “borrowed” by Dai Lun, Wu Qiao’s chief was not Robin, but was re-formed by Dai Lun.

Wu Qiao said, “I won’t tell you.”

Tan Yan: “…”

“Don’t interfere, this is my own business, I don’t want you to help.”

Tan Yan sighed, put Wu Qiao’s leg on his knees, and slowly kneaded the blue areas on his skin with his fingers: “Does it hurt?”

“A little bit.”

“It’s really like what one said, depressed in my heart, want to vent my anger?”

“Yes,” Wu Qiao said, “I am very wronged and want to punch someone.”

“Otherwise, beat me? It’s not good to hold back.” Tan Yan still rubbed Wu Qiao’s leg, “but don’t hit where others can see.”

“Well, good.” Wu Qiao was rude, retracted his leg, rushed forward, and opened his mouth to bite and talk.

Then…just nibble gently.

“I lied to you.” Wu Qiao put his arms around Tan Yan’s neck, “not very angry.”

“…”

“When I was punished, I just thought about other things and diverted my attention.”

“What do you think?”

Tan Yan originally thought Wu Qiao would say something for the benefit of mankind. As a result, Wu Qiao said, “Miss you.”

“…”

“When I want to save you, when I want to be saved… many, many.”

“…Ok.”

“You don’t have to worry about me.” Wu Qiao said again, “I am someone who wants to change the world. How can I be easily manipulated.”

Tan Yan reached out and touched Wu Qiao’s hair: “You have changed the world.”

“Don’t coax those who don’t want to adjust.”

“It’s not coaxing.” Tan Yan said, “You changed my world.”

“…” Wu Qiao felt a little awkward.

This Tan Yan, why is his mouth so sweet?

Not knowing what to say, Wu Qiao kissed Tan Yan’s ear.

Tan Yan let Wu Qiao lie on the bed, and then stretched out his hand to knead his back.

“You go to sleep too.” Wu Qiao said in a daze, “it’s late.”

“You go to bed first, leave me alone.” Tan Yan’s voice was very gentle, “I will press it for you, and it won’t hurt tomorrow.”

“Oh.” Wu Qiao lay there, “Tan Yan… I feel a little empty in my heart, very strange. It’s like falling off a cliff and struggling in mid-air. I can’t catch anything, but I can’t fall to the ground. There is only intense anxiety and panic in my heart.”

“…Hmm.” Tan Yan did not answer.

Wu Qiao felt really comfortable being pressed, and it didn’t take long before he really fell asleep with his eyes closed.
