Face Slapping the General

Chapter 74: The Autumn of Life and Death (Part 2)

Wu Qiao felt that talking about Yan was the most important thing to him.

Tan Yan did not disappoint him either.

Sometimes, after a certain star field is liberated, the army will take a short rest, and when Tan Yan goes out and sees anything interesting, he will buy it and wait for the opportunity to entrust it to Wu Qiao.

Generally speaking, the people Tan Yan entrusts are very reliable, only once, Wu Qiao has never seen what Tan Yan said.

He searched everywhere for a long time, but there was still nothing left.

So Tan Yan asked the person he entrusted, who sent the package to.

The man hesitated for a long time, and finally said that he didn't know, he was a member of Wuqiao's army.

"I asked you to give it to me!" Tan Yan was angry.

"I..." The major general panicked, "I don't know who I am..."

"You don't know who I am?" Tan Yan frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"At that time... At that time you said: send it to the third space fleet, for my wife. I asked again, and you still said "for my wife"..."

Tan Yan was silent for a while: "Did I say that?" He must have been distracted thinking about something at the time, that's why he said those words casually.

The poor major general didn't know who the marshal's wife was, but the marshal obviously thought he should know, so he didn't dare to ask again, for fear of offending the marshal. Thinking about it, the people from the Third Fleet must know, because the marshal The tone is like everyone knows.

As a result, the people in the Third Fleet didn't know who the Marshal's wife was.

The major general asked him to ask others, and told him that others should know.

People from the Third Fleet asked a lot, but still no one knew who should transfer it to, and they didn't notify the major general immediately, thinking that maybe someone else would know.

So, in the name column on the package, four big characters were written crookedly: "Marshal's wife", and then it was in a quiet state of being unclaimed.

"Let that person be handed over to Wu Qiao, and then tell him to keep his mouth shut." Tan Yan began to intimidate the other party.

"Yes... yes!" He looked at Tan Yan dumbfounded. The major general really didn't expect that the man called the new God of War was actually in the same family as the marshal in front of him...

After Wu Qiao knew about this, he didn't blame Tan Yan for leaking his words.

He arranged all the things he talked about in a row, and put them all in the cabinet on the left side of his bedroom. Wu Qiao's room was very clean, which was rare even among soldiers. It didn't look like a man's room at all, because he had such a personality.

As for the cabinet on the right, Wu Qiao used it to store the medals he got. The medals were neatly displayed, and some medal ribbons were blue, which did not match the other red ribbons. Wu Qiao also changed all of them to a uniform color. When Tan Yan discovered this for the first time, he said that he would definitely take Wu Qiao to see a psychiatrist if he had the opportunity.

Wu Qiao couldn't stand "almost" and "that's it" at all.

So far, the only exception is the ignorance of the current situation.

And soon, just as Wu Qiao was worried, Leila's organization couldn't resist contacting him.

They were so bold that they dared to contact Wu Qiao directly in the army.

Wu Qiao was very impressed with that guy. The person named Yang Rouchuan used almost all the unfamiliar words in the report, and more than half of the words were longer than ten letters. Wu Qiao was very tired every time he read it. He even suspected that the other party would hold a dictionary of synonyms every time he wrote the report. Find the longest word to replace common words one by one.

Regarding the invitation to rebel, Wu Qiao didn't hesitate and rejected him directly.

"You probably don't think the revolutionary army should be suppressed by the army, do you?" Yang Rouchuan asked Wu Qiao, "If you thought the revolutionary army was a heinous crime, you wouldn't have let Leila go quietly in the first place!"

"I didn't let Leila go." Wu Qiao said calmly.

What he said was the fact that Layla really wasn't let go by him.

Yang Rouchuan obviously didn't believe him: "We need someone who can win now! The current commander of our army... is not advancing smoothly."

"..." Wu Qiao stared at the other party for a few seconds, then suddenly looked away, turned his back to him, and said in the coldest voice he could make, "Please go, tell them, I won't go , don’t waste any more time with me.”

He also knew that the current revolutionary army could not shake the emperor. It is really difficult for the current leader to become the backbone of the entire army. He cannot boost the morale of the entire army when he encounters setbacks, nor can he make people deal with it cautiously when the situation is good.

The revolutionary army really needs to find a leader, but the leader will never be Wu Qiao's.

"... Lieutenant General," Yang Rouchuan said upon hearing this, "but you are obviously reading a book about the Republic."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qiao suddenly turned his head to look at his screen, but there was only an interstellar map on the screen.

He was a little angry: "Colonel Yang Rouchuan, this little trick is meaningless, get out of here immediately!"

"Don't lie to me!" Yang Rouchuan took a step forward without fear of death, "If you don't support or sympathize with us, why would you let me leave here immediately under such circumstances? You should send me to stand trial! Let me To be shot!"

"I want you to go back and tell them not to bother me!" At this point, Wu Qiao's depression was almost out of control. It was as if there was a ferocious beast living in his chest, always trying to break free from the cage and jump out. Wu Qiao tried his best to stop it, but gradually felt powerless. At such a critical moment, all he could do was roar, and violently pushed the ferocious beast inward.

"That's it." Wu Qiao finally said, "You don't want to come back either."

"..." Seeing Wu Qiao like this, Yang Rouchuan was obviously extremely disappointed.

He took a great risk to come here to instigate Wu Qiao, but he failed in the end.

In fact, not only him, Wu Qiao himself felt very strange to himself like this.

— Just one month later, the situation has deteriorated again.

In order to prevent the Republic from occupying the key star field, the emperor ordered all residents to evacuate as soon as possible, and then carried out a nuclear explosion on all the planets in that star field.

It is said that when the nuclear bomb exploded, it scorched the earth and was brighter than a thousand suns. The light was so bright that it could instantly blind the eyes of those who saw it, and the heat wave could dry up all the surrounding moisture. Everything nearby was blown away, and everything on the planet was instantly reduced to ashes. After the explosion, the strong radiation is enough to make the planet barren for a long time, turning the originally vibrant planet into hell one after another.

In the emperor's mind, under such circumstances, the Republic would naturally have no way to land, and it would not be able to use this star field as a hub connecting the front and rear—once the Republic uses this star field as a base, the opponent's attack range will be greatly expanded.

Here, it must not be handed over to the Republic.

However, what the emperor did not expect was that later on, various signs showed that the Republic had no intention of occupying that star field from the very beginning!

They went straight up the road, but they made a turn!

"Did it blow up for nothing?" Everyone was stunned by the emperor's rashness.

They thought that the emperor must have sufficient information to make such a move like amputating a limb to save his life.

But that's not the end of the matter.

Soon, rumors spread within the empire. Rumors say that before the nuclear explosion, the empire did not have time to evacuate all the residents.

The rumors spread more and more, like a wildfire, it reached every corner of the empire in an instant.

This news was like a bomb, touching the nerves of countless people who were already sensitive and nervous during the war. All of a sudden, the residents living on the planet in an important strategic position were terrified, fearing that one day, a catastrophe of extinction would fall from the sky.

The government repeatedly refuted the rumors, but many people who evacuated early said that they lost many relatives and friends.

Wu Qiao knew that the so-called "rumor" was actually true.

"I don't understand," Wu Qiao said to Tan Yan, "If you haven't fought yet, are you afraid of losing? You can't come back after fighting in a distant place, but why is the emperor so sure that Admiral Dai Lun will definitely lose?"

Tan Yan sighed: "He must be afraid."

"Did you lose confidence after losing?" Wu Qiao was a little excited, and slammed the table down, "How could he have such thoughts!"

"What about you?" Tan Yan looked at Wu Qiao and asked, "Wu Qiao, what about you? At this point today, do you still think that the empire will win?"

"Yes." There was no trace of hesitation in Wu Qiao's eyes.

Tan Yan smiled: "Why?"

"There is no reason." Wu Qiao answered him, "As a soldier of the Empire, I firmly believe that the Empire will win the final victory."

"..." This reason is not a reason at all, it can be said to be illogical at all.

"...?"

"You," Tan Yan thought for a while, "Actually, if the supreme commander of the empire is someone like you, it might not be too bad."

"...Marshal," Wu Qiao hesitated before asking again, "If, I mean, if, one day, I feel that my country needs me, do you think I'm ridiculous, have a high self-esteem, Self-indulgent?"

Logically speaking, what is he, and history will stop rolling forward because of his absence.

"No." Tan Yan stared straight at Wu Qiao, "You've always been like this."

"… Is it."

In fact, Wu Qiao is quite aware that he... has always been this kind of person.

After turning off the communication, Wu Qiao walked to the window.

It was dusk at this time.

The sunlight crawled down the wall, and the corners of the wall were covered with red patches. There were crows waiting to roost hovering on the branches that had almost fallen off. They made piercing calls, and the black wings reflected a little red light.

——In the setting sun of the empire, the roots are rotten and the leaves are defeated.
