The front line is full of flames of war, and Wu Qiao is mainly responsible for grasping the general direction in the rear.
Because he hasn't been on the battlefield for a long time, his crow is wandering around all day, a bit like the aunt of the neighborhood committee, mediating all kinds of disputes between the mechs every day. Who has a conflict with whom today, and who has a quarrel with whom tomorrow, Crow Nine will give its opinion on this matter based on the dramas it has watched. Because Yajiu is Wu Qiao's mecha, other mechas will give him face.
Once, Wu Qiao walked into an empty meeting room, but saw Yajiu, Ji Yao's mechas, and several mechas that hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time together, sitting in a circle around the meeting room table , taking turns talking.
Ya Jiu said: "16412."
Ji Yao's mech said: "16413."
The third mech said: "16414."
The fourth mecha didn't speak, but knocked on the table with its iron claws.
Wu Qiao: "...?"
Then, the fifth mech continued: "16416."
The sixth mech didn't speak again, and also knocked on the table with its iron claws.
"..." Wu Qiao couldn't stand it anymore, he coughed lightly, and several mechas in the room immediately looked at Wu Qiao in unison.
Ya Jiu shouted, and flew over again: "Wu Qiao!"
"Hmm." Wu Qiao caught the crows, raised his eyes to look at them, and asked, "What are you doing?" He still felt the pain from being bumped, but luckily he was almost used to it.
"Oh," Crow Nine replied, "We're playing a game."
"Game? What game?"
"It's the counting seven game," Crow Nine explained in detail, "We take turns counting, starting from the beginning and counting all the way up. However, whenever there are multiples of seven, or numbers with seven, we can't say it out. It's about knocking on the table. If anyone speaks out, he loses and is punished."
"You guys..." Wu Qiao looked at the mechs in a little surprise, and said, "You all have computers in your heads, how could you make mistakes?"
These mechas can perform trillions of calculations per second, even if Ya Jiu's IQ is low, it is impossible for him to make a mistake. When a few of them ponder whether a number is a multiple of seven, the answer they get must be correct, and they will not be entangled in their hearts like people.
No wonder... 16417 has been mentioned... Wu Qiao has never seen such a large number appear in this game.
Over there, Ya Jiu suddenly realized: "So that's it! I said why the game doesn't stop all the time? I've been playing for several hours."
"You..." Wu Qiao looked at the other mechas with a complicated expression, "Crow Nine didn't react, and none of you knew?"
"we know… "
"Then why are you silent?"
"Because Crow Nine wants to play this game... it is your mecha, we dare not make it unhappy..."
Wu Qiao: "..."
Ya Jiu didn't expect this reason at all, and seemed to be very shocked.
"Crow Nine," Wu Qiao patted it, "I hope...you don't need to go to war again." If you even have to go to the front line, it means that the battle will be more difficult to fight.
After entering the mainland of the Republic, it took another half a year for the coalition forces to expand the battlefield, tear apart the entrance bit by bit, and finally managed to land in a large area.
The Republic was totally unaware of the neutral Congress' involvement in the war, no matter the cost. Before, the Republic hadn't thought about the possibility of a neutral country giving up its neutrality, but that country had been neutral for more than a hundred years, and logically speaking, there would not be many people who supported the war and devoted great enthusiasm to it. However, the Republic ignores the power of money. In a situation where wealth is closely related to the victory of the war, opinion leaders in neutral countries desperately mobilized the people to participate in the war. After all, the people who will bleed are not their children.
With the help of neutral countries, the coalition forces have certain advantages. Although, the war is still very difficult, and every inch of land is full of blood.
Even Tan Yan was seriously injured again, and the injury was worse than before. After being treated in the treatment cabin inside Longyuan, he was sent back to the flagship for further treatment. Tan Yan was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep, and the painkiller pump gave medicines 24 hours a day, but he still insisted on commanding all the battles.
Moreover, he kept it from Wu Qiao.
When Wu Qiao learned that Tan Yan was injured, it was already two weeks later, and the advanced treatment had almost recovered him.
"Hey," another adjutant who reported the situation to Wu Qiao said when Ji Yao was away, "The marshal really did his best. He was afraid that you would replace him, so he didn't report any injuries, and all he wanted was to continue fighting. "
"..." Wu Qiao knew it wasn't the reason. That person is afraid of worrying about himself.
"Also," continued the adjutant, "the Marshal's devotion to the new country is so great."
"Oh?"
"Before it was rumored that he was the Marshal of the Empire, and he always missed his homeland in his heart, but this time he discovered that those were all speculations. He is wholehearted in the new government."
"I know." Wu Qiao frowned and asked, "However, how can you tell?" Tan Yan was injured for the country, how can he see his attitude towards the new government
"Because..." the other party thought about his words, "He was sent back to the flagship when he was injured and unconscious. The military doctor untied his military uniform to treat him, but when he removed the things that were in the way, he found that the marshal put it in his chest pocket. took a picture of you."
Wu Qiao: "..."
"Well, it's the one taking the oath of office, and the photo is facing the heart. How should I put it, although this is a bit like the style of the empire period, and it's all about personal loyalty, but it still moved everyone present."
Wu Qiao: "..."
He naturally understands that Tan Yan puts his photo in his pocket, which is definitely not the style of the empire. During the imperial period, Tan Yan never cared about the emperor's portrait, and was once punished for using something with the emperor's portrait to block bullets during the war.
After the adjutant left, Wu Qiao didn't wait for a second, and immediately connected to Tan Yan's communication.
"Wu Qiao?" Tan Yan asked, "What? What's the matter?"
"You still ask me what's the matter?!" Wu Qiao felt that he was about to go mad with anger, "You didn't tell me when you got hurt?!"
Tan Yan was silent for a while: "I don't want you to worry about me."
Wu Qiao was really angry this time, and his voice was very different from usual: "You are hiding this important matter from me?! I am your lover, and I don't even know your health status?!" He thought: The most important thing If you don't tell him, what kind of lover is this
"Wu Qiao... I'm fine."
"Tan Yan, do you know?" Wu Qiao's tone weakened a little, "I'm always afraid during the day, for fear that someone will hurt you. Only when the truce at night can I sleep peacefully, because I know you are fine, so I can Relax for a while. If there is a fight at night, I will keep my eyes open all night."
"Wu Qiao..."
"Tan Yan," Wu Qiao said with a little fragility in his voice, "Can you take pity on me? Don't let me... worry about you during the day, but still be suspicious at night. I suspect that you are injured but don't say anything. No matter what, I can't lie down comfortably. .”
"I see." Tan Yan sighed, "I was wrong. From now on, no matter how big or small the injury is, I will notify you as soon as possible. But, my dear, the way you really get angry is really scary."
"... It's good to know." After a pause, Wu Qiao suddenly said, "I really want to bite you."
"Bite again?" Tan Yan smiled helplessly, "There are almost tooth marks all over your shoulders. Aren't your fighting skills very good? How come I can only bite with my teeth now?"
"The bites from the past have disappeared long ago, okay?" Wu Qiao checked it a long time ago, and he couldn't find even a single tooth mark.
"...By the way," Tan Yan suddenly remembered something, "There is something I want to tell you."
"What?" Wu Qiao asked.
"The Guozu, Bowl, Piao and Pot tribes of the Republic proposed more liberal national autonomy to the Republic."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
"Ok."
"..." Wu Qiao knew the background of this request.
There are many ethnic groups in the Republic, and most of them are distributed in the border areas. At present, the coalition forces that have just invaded the mainland of the Republic are just in the area of these four ethnic groups. However, what makes the Republic a headache is that these nations have different beliefs and have their own set of teachings. They all yearn for nature and peace, and have always opposed the invasion of the empire. Now, because of the all-time unruly behavior of the coalition forces not to take, take, or kill innocents, with aid being thrown and pamphlets pledging not to invade them, these peoples object to war on their turf, which they believe will destroy environment and culture of one's own nation. The locals not only resisted the coalition forces spontaneously and actively, but even set up obstacles to prevent the regular army of the Republic from fighting comfortably. Their slogan was to fight in a different place. Not willing to let war destroy their temples and other proud structures. In addition, some of the republic government's policies against these ethnic groups have also made the local people very dissatisfied, and they have always had a lot of grievances against the republic government. In desperation, the government of the Republic had no choice but to discuss with local religious leaders and others how to get the people to actively participate in the defense, but there was no result after many discussions. As far as the Republic is concerned, it is absolutely impossible to give such a large area to the coalition forces without resistance. Firstly, being easily penetrated into the hinterland by the enemy will greatly affect the morale of the people and the army; secondly, if the battlefield is moved to the depths, the Republic will suffer even greater losses.
Tan Yan over there said: "Now, the spiritual leaders of the four ethnic groups have proposed that mobilization should not be done by the government of the republic that the people hate, but a new government composed of local ethnic groups should be formed so that the people of the same ethnic group can People of the same clan have to persuade the people to rise up and resist. People of the same clan have the same beliefs, and it will be easier to communicate. Only in this way can the current dilemma be solved. Their opinion is that the new government is self-governing in name, but in fact it is still subordinate to the big government of the Republic.”
"... I see." Wu Qiao nodded to Tan Yan, "Ji Yao and I will pay attention."
He already had a faint feeling in his heart that this incident might change the course of the entire war.
