Chapter 896 897 Fighting to Defend Peace
While checking their own supplies, someone complained: "Look at them, they are giving out three pairs of socks. They are so thick, and they also have underwear... We only give one, and we don't even have to change them. They give out three sets to each person."
Modern wars, especially wars based on industry, are all about supplies. As the country with the highest industrial level and the strongest production capacity in the world, the Tang Empire can naturally provide the strongest support for frontline soldiers.
“The most important thing is what kind of material this is made of. It feels comfortable when you hold it in your hand. It’s breathable and thin. It’s really good.” Looking at the unseen underwear, a soldier said excitedly.
The underwear issued by Dahua Empire is really hard to describe. It is not just about poor quality. The key is that it is very uncomfortable to wear. It tightens the buttocks and makes people always want to grab it with their hands to adjust it.
"I shouldn't have said what I just said. With the support of the Tang Empire, this is indeed possible." Seeing the soldiers distributing supplies, they dropped three beautifully packaged candies on each person's bed, and handed out another starch ham sausage. When they arrived, the soldier who had just threatened that he did not need Tang Guo's support immediately slapped himself in the mouth.
Another soldier beside him was dumbfounded when he looked at the two paper bags with sugar and salt written on them: "It's not just OK, it's simply awesome."
Where in the Great China Empire has this kind of thing been prepared for soldiers? The ingredients are all put in the big pot of rice, so who cares whether the big-headed soldiers like it or not?
Looking at the Tang Empire, every soldier can adjust it according to his own taste. The details are so detailed that it is simply touching.
The squad leader was also dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that the assistance provided by the Tang Empire would be so generous: "Give me back sugar, give me salt... This is to fight, this is to enjoy happiness."
The officer standing at the door supervising the distribution of supplies was happy: "You are right. The soldiers of the Tang Empire enjoy happiness when they are on the front line, but when we go to the front line, we are going to die."
"Look at it all! This is chocolate! It's the most hungry candy! You can't eat it casually! It's a food reserve! Do you understand?" The supplies were almost gone, and the officer standing at the door raised one in his hand as a routine. Something the size of a palm was wrapped in red, shouted loudly.
“I understand…” The reply was in a sparse voice, because everyone had not yet recovered from the shock.
Soon, someone started talking privately: "I heard that this stuff is sold in a candy shop on the street. I heard it's very delicious."
"I know that candy house..." A soldier immediately followed up while swallowing his saliva.
Some people asked people around them: "Aren't things there very expensive?"
These new gadgets from the Tang Dynasty are generally not cheap. The candy house is also famous far and wide, and is an "Internet celebrity store" that many wealthy people often go to for consumption.
Just looking at the decoration of the entrance of that place, with a huge colorful lollipop sign, I knew that the food there must be delicious, and ordinary people must not be able to afford it!
As a high-calorie food, chocolate has long been one of the standard supplies for soldiers of the Tang Empire. However, abroad, this kind of thing is still like a luxury product, and ordinary people have only heard of it.
So, holding the chocolates in their hands, these big-headed soldiers were a little nervous: "Is this all for us? How about such a big piece for each person?"
"You said I won't eat it, but secretly keep it and give it to my son, is that okay?" a veteran asked the squad leader not far away.
When the squad leader heard his question, he also reacted: "Huh? If you say so... I also think it's okay to keep it and take it home."
"Once every seven days!" The officer at the door couldn't stand hearing it any longer. He cleared his throat and interrupted the poor people from touching themselves: "There are a lot of supplies!"
“Huh?” Everyone couldn’t believe their ears when they heard the news.
Some people simply shouted: "Really?"
"From now on, we will distribute supplies to you according to the supplies of the Tang Empire! We are not only protecting Fengjiang, but also protecting the trade between the two countries! We are a just party! We are protecting the hard-won peace between the two countries ! Victory will eventually belong to us!" Seeing that morale had risen, the officer who distributed the supplies did not forget to encourage him again.
Sure enough, everyone is beginning to agree with this statement - they are defending the hard-won peace between the two countries!
Everyone yelled and started to put on their own equipment and put a lot of supplies that they didn't usually see into their bags.
They changed their flags, put on new shoes, and M35 helmets, ready to fight to defend their lives.
…
"Your Majesty..." Prince Zhao Chen, who was standing not far away looking at Zhao Kai, had to ask: "Really want to start a war?"
"It's no longer a matter of whether I want to start a war or not! Zhao Yu's traitor may have fled to Fengjiang. Do you think he will sit still and wait for death?" Zhao Kai's voice was hoarse, and he felt more and more tired.
Logically speaking, he is only in his fifties this year, and he is not at the point of frailty due to old age. However, due to a series of recent problems, his face is already covered with wrinkles and his hair has begun to turn gray. He seemed to have aged several years in a year, and a series of recent events made him feel unbearable pain in his heart from time to time.
As an emperor, such a situation is really bitter. Zhao Kai, who was prone to anger and headstrong before, now actually makes people feel a little depressed.
The situation in the court was chaotic. Some people advocated pardoning Zhao Yu, while others suggested giving Zhao Yu the authority to govern Fengjiang. These suggestions were all to ease the situation, and they also represented the true opinions of many ministers.
Many ministers are even discussing privately that if Zhao Kai can be ruthless enough to depose Zhao Ji and hand over the crown prince position to Zhao Yu, then all problems seem to have a solution.
But everyone also knows that Zhao Yu’s recent series of saucy operations are indeed unwise, making it almost impossible for Zhao Kai to make any compromises.
Even though they knew it well, everyone was trying their best to avoid the outbreak and escalation of the conflict. Prime Minister Chu Muzhou was very worried that the Tang Empire would get involved and start a war against the Great China Empire again.
Although the national power of the Great China Empire today is stronger than before, its internal and external troubles are worse than before. The crisis on both fronts has always existed, and it really cannot withstand another war.
Regrettably, the matters that these ministers are worried about cannot be solved by themselves. It all depends on the face of the Tang Empire and the development of subsequent events.
It's just that the subsequent development has become more and more chaotic. Zhao Kai is busy gathering military power and preparing for war, and the situation in Fengjiang has also begun to become complicated.
"If we don't fire...will the situation ease?" Zhao Chen suggested: "If we don't fight, and Zhao Yu doesn't fire, as long as train and plane traffic continues, things will turn around."
"I understand what you said, but... do you think the Tang Empire will let us get what we want?" Zhao Kai said while rubbing his temples.
He has really been busy day and night in the past two days. On the one hand, he is dispatching troops and generals, and on the other hand, he has to appease the local area. On the one hand, he had to deal with the ministers in the court, and on the other hand, he had to guess what the old Tang next door was thinking.
In fact, two conflicts have broken out in some parts of the Dahua Empire. Both of them were in urban areas that supported Zhao Yu and were unwilling to obey His Majesty the Emperor's order and hand over military power.
The result was that the two places were surrounded and suppressed by Zhao Kai's troops. After struggling for two days, they were crushed. One city lord ran away, and the other city lord was captured alive and beheaded in public.
But despite this, there are still many places that violate Zhao Kai's orders, and there are still many places that use electricity to support Zhao Yu.
Zhao Chen thought for a while and suggested: "The Tang Empire just wants profits and benefits. If it doesn't work, let's discuss tariffs!"
“I’ll give you some today and some tomorrow, why not give this position to Tang Mo as well?” Zhao Kai was not as angry as before, but what he said made Zhao Chen extremely stressed.
He could only lower his head and said to his brother: "I am scared! Everything is subject to your Majesty's arrangement, whether it is war or peace, your Majesty will be arbitrary!"
"This is a civil war in our Dahua Empire. The Tang Empire will definitely not be blatantly involved for a while! Morally, they cannot justify it. Just like last time, we took advantage of the situation and lost the moral truth." Zhao Kai thought for a few seconds. , then spoke slowly.
"Although they will secretly support Zhao Yu's traitor! However, the Tang Empire will not directly send troops in a short time. This is our opportunity! If you can lead the troops to destroy Zhao Yu, then things will turn around." After saying this In a word, Zhao Kai looked at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen lowered his head slightly and said, "I will do my best to seize Fengjiang and solve your majesty's problems!"
"You are the only ones I can rely on! We, the Dahua royal family, can only work together and unite as one to tide over the difficulties and preserve the family business left by our ancestors." Zhao Kai said while waving his hand: " Go! Take back Fengjiang at all costs within a month!"
“Yes!” Zhao Chen lowered his head and stepped back.
"Bring Zhao Ji with you! He and Zhao Yu have old and new grudges, and they will definitely not show mercy! Let him supervise the battle, which will be somewhat effective." Zhao Kai suddenly added.
Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head again: "Yes! Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of His Highness the Crown Prince."
This time Zhao Kai didn't say anything more. Zhao Chen's expression became complicated after leaving Zhao Kai's room. He didn't know why Zhao Kai asked Zhao Ji to go to the front line, and he couldn't guess what kind of situation he would encounter when he went to the front line this time.
Without having time to pay attention to the salutes of the guards in the corridor, Zhao Chen walked out of the palace absentmindedly and got into his car.
