Chapter 180(1/2)
"Bah...! Yan Shisan, you betrayed your brother, you son of a bitch will die badly."
"I am celebrating your ancestors."
"Fuck you, even if I die, I will still look for you."
"What a fool, if you want to kill me or scratch me, just frown, I'm not your grandfather."
"...!"
The arrested Jinyiwei officers cursed Yan Shisan, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei.
Yan Shisan stood behind Zhang Huangyan with his head shrinking, without saying a word.
He is also bitter in his heart!
Luo Yangxing has been captured, how much trouble can his deputy commander make?
Moreover, the gun is now in someone else's hands.
What else are you scolding?
It’s all meat on someone’s cutting board. Whether you want it sliced or minced depends on what you like.
"Yan Shisan, go and appease those people. Tell them that this time we will only capture Luo Yangxing's best friends.
For them, it’s still a question of how to be a bad person.”
Zhang Huangyan turned to Yan Shisan and gave instructions.
"No!" Yan Shisan saluted respectfully, and then walked onto the parade platform on the grassland.
“Brothers, Luo Yangxing’s crime of corruption and bending the law must not be pardoned.
He has cut himself off from the Ming Dynasty, and he has cut himself off from the commander-in-chief...!"
Zhang Huangyan looked at Yan Shisan's back, turned to his son Zhang Wanqi and whispered: "Remember!
Never betray your team!
Look at those people below and what they look at Yan Shisan.
Although he was not arrested by the Ministry of Supervision, he is finished."
"Father, that's when we win over people's hearts."
Zhang Wanqi followed Zhang Huangyan, his eyes widened with excitement.
This time my father finally came back to life. Even though his official position was just that of a commander of the Royal Guards, his power was boundless.
This position is in charge of public security and various cases in the world. It does not have a lot of power, and... it also has a lot of oil and water. It can be called a shortsighted person.
"Luo Yangxing is not dead yet, and you have forgotten his lessons?
You haven't secured your position yet, but you want to win people's hearts?
Once you have bought all the people's invitations, our family will follow the old path of cultivating one's nature." Zhang Huangyan looked at his son helplessly. Fortunately, he was not allowed to become an official, otherwise he would have been played to death long ago.
"Then... us?"
“Official affairs should be handled impartially and lawfully.
Everything is done according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, do you understand?"
Zhang Wanqi shook his head, and he did everything according to the law, but it was still a damn thing.
"You fool, if you follow the law, you will never make a mistake."
Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but slap his son.
***************************
Zhang Huangyan was teaching his son, but Li Xiao was praising his son.
"What you said to Mr. Sun is very good, which proves that your vision is broad enough."
Li Xiao patted his son on the shoulder and praised him.
It's strange that every time a father pats his son on the shoulder like this, the son will lower his head and giggle.
"In this case, I will send you a special errand."
"What special errand?" Li Lin's eyes lit up.
This is the first time he has taken on an errand independently, but he doesn't know who his father has assigned him.
"You go to Crete to assist Zheng Sen in negotiating with German representative Ribbentrop."
"Negotiations? With the Germans?" Li Lin was a little surprised.
Dad never showed any intention of compromising!
Could it be that we are going to make peace with Germany?
"Yes to negotiations!
But it’s not about armistice negotiations, it’s about delaying it as much as possible.”
Gu Jun
"procrastination?"
"Yes! Delay!
Let the Germans feel that we have the sincerity to cease the war.
Try to delay the Germans' attack on the northern front!
As you know, our military strength is at an absolute disadvantage.
We need to severely damage the French army on the southern front before we can use the mobile forces of Man Ye and Ao Ye to deal with the German army.
But all this takes time!
Our troops are weak on the northern front, and Smolensk is so close to Moscow.
If you can't hold on, we can only rely on the Moscow Fortress to fight a battle to defend Moscow.
There is the Kremlin in Moscow, and if a war there destroys the Kremlin, it will have a huge impact on Russian morale.
so……!"
"So, we must try to delay the German attack as much as possible.
So that we have time to concentrate our forces to attack the French on the southern front?"
"Yes!" Li Xiao nodded appreciatively.
"You are my son and you can definitely represent me to the German people.
This shows that we attach more importance to this negotiation.
Remember, don’t say a single honest word, but make them feel that what you say is true.
You can delay it as long as you can, the longer the better."
"promise!"
Li Lin nodded.
"The French are becoming more and more powerful in combat. During the Battle of Belgorod, they were able to withstand Man Ye's armored assault.
And they have enough troops to establish a large and deep defense line.
It will be difficult for things like the past to break through a little bit and shake the entire front.
Napoleon is worthy of being a military god."
Li Xiao shook his head helplessly.
"After the spring, can we really defeat the French?" Li Lin was a little worried.
Because the Ming army not only wanted to defeat the French, but also wanted to defeat the French quickly.
Moreover, the loss cannot be too great.
Otherwise, when facing the German army, the Ming army would not be able to prevent them from seizing Moscow.
If there was only the Kremlin in Moscow, Li Xiao would not care about the feelings of the Russians at all.
But Moscow is still a key node in the Russian railway network. If Moscow is captured, the most important supply base of the Ming army will fall into the hands of the coalition forces.
The Ming army's front line will shrink back as a whole by at least 200 kilometers.
Even if the southern front retreats to Tsaritsyn, its flanks will still be in danger of being exposed.
Now on the central front, Kursk, which has been beaten with blood, will also fall into the hands of the coalition forces.
All of this is very detrimental to the war.
Now that the coalition forces are fighting against the Ming army, they actually lack confidence from top to bottom.
It was like an army like the Austro-Hungarian Empire was attacked by Ming army tanks.
When a tank shell falls on the position, most of the people can run away!
