Chapter 574: 574 I’ll leave this to you.

Chapter 574 574 I’ll leave this matter to you.

At this moment, an official hurriedly broke into the hall, holding a telegram and came to Zhao Kai's side.

 “What’s wrong?” Zhao Kai looked unhappy, as if everyone in the world owed him money.

"Your Majesty! The telegram just sent from the State of Qi...The King of Qi, Jiang Xian, passed away." The official replied in a low voice.

"What?" Zhao Kai was startled. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the telegram. He read the words on it carefully and said with disbelief: "Asshole, could there be a mistake?"

“Probably not, the secret language used is indeed the agreed secret language.” The minister immediately replied, completely shirking the responsibility.

It was too late to investigate the blame-shifting attitude of his subordinates. Zhao Kai read the telegram again and chose to believe such a terrible fact as much as possible.

Jiang Xian is not old this year. According to Zhao Kai's opinion, this person can live for at least another twenty years.

 But he never expected that the very old King Jiang Xian of Qi would withdraw from the stage of history in a very dishonorable way.

"Did the message say, how did King Qi die?" Zhao Kai looked at the minister who came to deliver the news and asked with his face changing.

 He ​​himself no longer knew what kind of expression to use to face these shabby things that made him laugh or cry. You said Qi Guo played him as Zhao Kai, but the King of Qi played himself in the role, too dedicated, right?

But you said that Qi State didn't act, how long has it been since the war began, Nanye was lost, hundreds of thousands of troops were trapped, and it was about to collapse... With this battle going like this, how could there be no actors?

"The telegram said that some soldiers from the Tang Army descended from the sky and raided King Qi's camp. King Qi led his army in a **** battle and unfortunately died of injuries." The minister immediately took out another telegram and handed it to Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai took the telegram again, read it carefully for a long time, and then handed it directly to Feng Kezhi next to him: "You should read it too!"

Now Zhao Kai almost wants to kill the King of the Lions Empire and Cyric's witch Sophia.

Can this **** information be any more deceptive? What I said before the war started was just nonsense. When the fight started, I found out that not a single word of truth was told!

　　What I said at the beginning is that as long as Qi State defends its defense line with strong walls and clear fields, it is impossible for Tang State to achieve any results in the first half of the year.

 The results are so good now. Counting the initial week of sit-downs by both sides, Tang State broke through Qi State's border defenses in less than 10 days!

Qi State worked hard for more than half a year, built a three-layer defense line, and reinforced the permanent fortifications of the bunkers!

The whole front was broken within two days of the actual war, and then Nanye, an important town in the south of Qi State, was lost. Qi State is now on the verge of collapse, and it is too late for support from our own side.

When he began to carry out diplomatic blackmail against the Tang State, Zhao Kai had no idea that the Tang State had a new weapon called an airplane.

It was not until more than ten days ago that the military intelligence department of the Dahua Empire officially confirmed that the Tang State has a kind of terrifying aircraft that swoops down and howls. Every time it drops a bomb, it is extremely accurate. A single aerial bomb can explode with a radius of more than ten meters. Big pit!

It was only a few days ago that the majestic Emperor Hua knew that the Tang Army had a weapon called a tank, which could destroy positions as if they were walking on flat ground, indestructible and indestructible!

Similarly, it was only recently that he learned that the Tang Army had a huge aircraft called the Flying Fortress, which could carry many bombs at once, fly hundreds of kilometers quickly, and raid industrial areas in the hinterland of the enemy's country.

It was not until that time that Zhao Kai discovered that the capital city, which he and his ministers thought was extremely safe, as well as the large industrial zones across the country, as well as the railways and highways all over the country, were actually in a state of undefended streaking in front of the Tang State.

It was not until that time that Zhao Kai realized how terrifying Tang's war machine was. It kills the Qi State like it kills a chicken, but it may not be more difficult to kill the Great China Empire...

 In order to solve this problem, the Dahua Empire had to urgently produce 500 Cyric anti-aircraft cannons and reluctantly deployed them in important areas, pretending to have anti-aircraft firepower.

 At the same time, they urgently began to design new anti-aircraft weapons in order to resist attacks by Tang aircraft in the future.

 Finally, he calmed down and made corresponding arrangements for the Tang Dynasty's aircraft and tanks, but now a special kind of soldiers dropped from the sky... who can still hold back?

“Why do they always have such messy things! Huh?” Zhao Kai broke his guard and couldn’t help but curse.

In fact, this was why he felt a sense of timidity and chill in his heart after seeing the message that King Qi was dead.

 He is afraid!

Although he is rich and has an empire, he is afraid!

　　He was afraid that one day when he fell asleep in his palace, soldiers from the Tang State would fly into his dormitory. I am afraid that I will be killed by assassins from the sky and underground water anytime and anywhere.

 If a man could fall from the sky and kill the King of Qi. Then would it be easy to kill another Dahua Emperor?

"Don't you guys think about it carefully? If one day, they kill me! Kill you, you, and your bedside! Which of you can survive?" Zhao Kai shouted these words At this time, the voice was sharp and had lost its pitch.

At this time, a group of ministers figured out what had happened. The so-called enemies falling from the sky in the telegram really stunned these ministers.

 “Your Majesty! We should strengthen the defense of the capital.” Chu Muzhou lowered his head and suggested to Zhao Kai.

Following his suggestion, several ministers quickly lowered their heads and said in unison: "I second the proposal!" "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true, and I think it should be so." On the other side, Shen Chuan, the Minister of War, also said.

No joke at all, they are really worried about something happening in the imperial city: everyone, old and young, is here, and if they are taken away by the Tang army, they will really cry without tears.

"Had I known this, I shouldn't have let Qi and Tang go to war so hastily." Several ministers whispered to the side and expressed their opinions.

  But everyone knows how to react quickly, and being able to judge the situation in advance is the real ability. Zhao Kai calmed down somewhat at this time and began to think about how to solve this serious problem in Tang State.

He has decided not to give Tang Mo a chance to grow up. He will take action when Tang Mo is still young and eradicate the trouble once and for all.

 “Feng Kezhi!” He suddenly looked at his general.

 “I’m here!” Feng Kezhi bowed his head in response.

"If we don't mobilize our troops and attack Tang directly from the eastern border, what are the chances of winning?" Zhao Kai, who was already thinking of an all-out war, asked a question that made everyone present feel terrified.

Feng Kezhi was silent for a moment, then raised his head and replied: "Your Majesty, I think the chance of winning is about 30%."

 “Only 30%?” Zhao Kai was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

Feng Kezhi explained: "I and my colleagues have also studied the battle report provided by Sirik's consultant. I believe that without the support of new weapons and tanks and aircraft, it is indeed difficult to tear apart the enemy's defense line with infantry."

"This is why we previously believed that Qi State can sustain it for more than half a year! We use the combat power of our own army to measure it. If we want to break through Qi State's border defense line, it will indeed take half a year or even longer." He said very logically, Zhao Kai Listened without saying a word.

The Dahua veteran continued: "So, conversely, it will take about half a year for us to attack the defense line on the Tang border. It is hard to say whether we can break through."

Subsequently, Feng Kezhi analyzed the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army from various angles: The army built by Tang Mo had stronger individual firepower and more advanced machine guns. Its squad-level combat effectiveness crushed Dahua's troops of the same level.

At the same time, the artillery of the Tang army also had obvious advantages, surpassing Dahua in both quantity and quality, which was also a disadvantage.

 What is even more depressing is that the Tang army also has a large number of vehicles and sufficient fuel reserves, which means that their army can move at a faster speed and also has more sufficient logistical supplies.

 Coupled with Tang's more complete infrastructure construction, more railways, stronger transportation capacity, and higher productivity, these are advantages that Dahua cannot match.

 In addition, the Datang Army's self-propelled artillery, tanks, aircraft, and various new weapons emerged one after another, which has changed some tactical rules. Fighting the Tang army under such circumstances is no different from seeking death.

Having concluded this, seeing that Zhao Kai's face was already very gloomy, Feng Kezhicai concluded: "Your Majesty, I believe that there is only a 30% chance of winning in a direct war with the Tang State on the border!"

 “But!” Just when Zhao Kai was trying to suppress his inner anger, Feng Kezhi suddenly changed his attitude and said such a word.

 “Huh?” Zhao Kai glanced at him and expressed doubt.

"Your Majesty! If the Chu State goes to war with the Tang State on the southern front, attracting some of the Tang State's attention, and the Mirage State delays the Tang Army with the Qi State in the north, and Leinsdoorn also takes action on the other side, when they all start fighting, we will Finally declare war on Tang, and the chance of winning can be increased to 70%." Feng Kezhi said what he thought was the situation with the highest winning rate.

 Hearing his general say this, Zhao Kai was somewhat satisfied. It seems that things are not impossible, but require some means.

As long as it can be operated, it is better for Zhao Kai than sitting around waiting to watch Tang devour Qi.

 He had already watched the state of Zheng be destroyed before, but this time he did not want to watch the state of Qi be destroyed in the same way.

Hence, he looked at Jiang Run from the Ministry of Rites again and said, "Jiang Shangshu, you must have heard it too."

“I heard it all.” Jiang Run lowered his head, knowing that his work seemed to have become very important. So he immediately promised: "I will live up to your majesty's trust and win the situation that General Feng needs for the empire."

 “Okay! Jiang Shangshu, I’ll leave this matter to you!” Zhao Kai nodded with satisfaction.
