Chapter 1770 1771 The new year is destined to be not easy
Recently, Yangmu I has been in a state of anger. This is due to the fact that his capital, Joselaina, suffered a merciless missile attack from the Tang army. The once bustling streets became devastated, and many houses were reduced to ruins amidst the explosions of missiles.
This attack caused huge damage to Joselaina. Although the number of houses lost was not particularly large, this was only a superficial phenomenon, and the hidden symbolic meaning behind it was heartbreaking.
The capital of a country is often regarded as the heart and soul of the country, and is the center of politics, economy, and culture. However, now this heart has suffered a heavy blow, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to a country's dignity and strength.
For Yangmu I, this is undoubtedly an unbearable shame. He is eager to find an opportunity to fight back as soon as possible to wash away this shame.
However, the reality is cruel. Although Yangmu I had an unparalleled desire to counterattack, his strategic air force was insufficient.
Due to insufficient strength, the Yangmu Empire's air force did not dare to dispatch easily. In order to preserve the country's strength, it even had to move the air force to an airport further south early. This helpless choice made Yang Mu I feel very painful, but he could not change the status quo.
At present, his remaining fighter units also appear to be stretched thin. Although these fighter jets have certain combat capabilities, they are helpless in the face of the Tang Army's missile attack. They were unable to successfully intercept the missiles, nor were they able to effectively counterattack the Datang Empire fighter jets that showed off their power in front of them.
This feeling of powerlessness made Yangmu I feel anxious, and he urgently needed to find a way to change the status quo.
In such a predicament, Yangmu I couldn't help but begin to reflect on how his country could get out of this trough and regain its lost dignity and strength. He knew it would take time and effort, but he was willing to pay whatever it took.
It was at this time that some nobles presented him with a magical medicine called Black Crow. I heard that this medicine did have a certain effect in the dwarf-controlled areas and caused some trouble for the troops of the Tang Empire.
But Yangmu I didn't quite believe what these people said. At least this medicine was definitely not as amazing as these people boasted, otherwise the dwarves would not have been able to retreat all the way and even lose Ironforge.
Moreover, although Yang Mu I has been paying attention to the attack on the capital city of Ruoslena, he has recently heard some news from the north.
The Tang Empire is not in a hurry to go south. Instead, it is increasing its efforts to eliminate the Yin Cong cultivation industry in the dwarf-controlled areas. It is also investigating the Black Crow incident.
This is no secret. As long as you turn on the radio, you can easily listen to in-depth reports on the drug problem in the Tang Empire. Tang State is firmly opposed to addictive drugs such as black crow, and is also vigorously pursuing criminal gangs that sell black crow.
Listening to these frightening propaganda, Yang Mu I even felt a little inexplicable worry: all this seemed to have a familiar flavor to him.
In the description of the Tang Empire, it seems that the criminal groups hiding in the dark are a more difficult existence than hostile countries. Because of the asymmetry between the two sides and the different fundamental purposes, it seems that the criminal group is more difficult to deal with for the Tang Empire.
There are many ways to destroy a country, the Tang Empire. As long as you launch a war across the border, occupy the city and kill the resisting soldiers, you can conquer a piece of land and destroy the country.
But it is not that easy to deal with a criminal group. The other party will hide and resurrect. As long as there is profit or purpose, some people with ulterior motives will gather together and be ready to take action. Like a flame, endless... This reminded Yang Mu I of an organization that he had not cared about for a long time, but that once shrouded his head like a dark cloud - the Cyric Consortium.
Nowadays, this consortium is no longer so strong under the pressure of the Tang Empire, but twenty years ago, this consortium was a huge organization that could affect the rise and fall of a kingdom.
They also have no traditional borders and do not seek **** over the common people, so they are in a sense more detached and harder to defend against.
Because the other party does not pursue actual rule over a certain country, but only pursues wealth, many monarchs cannot muster the courage to truly confront it.
However, Yang Mu I saw another style this time: when the Tang Empire dealt with the black crows and the group that sold the black crows, they showed a ruthlessness and determination far beyond imagination.
Yang Mu I was not a fool. He had his own judgment. It must be a terrifying power to make the Tang Empire so fearful and willing to use all his strength to strangle and destroy things.
If defeating the Tang Empire is a very difficult thing, then it must not be easy to make the Tang Empire pay attention to it... Yang Mu I still knows this simple logic.
Moreover, Yang Mu I also heard about Duke Qin of the Tang Empire in some places. He heard that the father-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire had taken the drug Black Crow before the fall of the country.
Later, the strong emperor's health deteriorated, and he almost died. If the doctors of the Tang Empire had not intervened in time and given special care for a long time because he was the father-in-law of the country, the Duke of Qin might have died long ago when the Qin Kingdom was destroyed.
Although Yang Mu I didn't know the details, he could probably guess that the black crow was probably a crazy thing that stretched his life.
It may have some effects when you first eat it, but eating too much is definitely not a good thing. With this basic concept in mind, Yangmu I became wary of this drug.
Therefore, he has never ordered the elf troops to use drugs such as Black Crow on a large scale. He is afraid that once this drug gets out of control in the Yangmu Empire, it will cause a disaster that he cannot extinguish.
However, his persistence also made many elven nobles who were waiting to make a fortune from the drug Black Crow become increasingly impatient. As the saying goes, destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents. Even if the person who destroys a person's wealth is an emperor, it still won't work.
Therefore, many people have already made bold statements about changing the emperor at the secret gatherings held for the enjoyment of the black crow.
An undercurrent unknown to Yangmu I was surging in Ruosilaina, and in the far north, the pressure of the Tang Empire had already overwhelmed the elven troops.
For Yangmu I, the new year seems destined to be difficult.
