Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Just like what Li Cong said, the second prince of the Southern Empire is an idiot. He has already proved that his method is of no use, but this guy still refuses to admit defeat. As far as his own thoughts are concerned, this  The guy still wanted to end these things as soon as possible, so he kept sending his people up, as if he could break through the Cao Family Trading Company's defense line. What was the final result?  It is already two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still four hours until sunset. Everyone knows that if it gets dark, the attacker will be even more uncomfortable, especially the troops like Cao's Trading Company who don't go out very often. They can  Hiding behind the solid fortifications are soldiers attacking the Southern Empire, and the most important thing is that the Southern Empire¡¯s cavalry cannot go into battle at night. The cavalry can be said to have a shortcoming in fighting at night, without the rapid impact of the cavalry.  , relying on the infantry will definitely be killed by others. None of these guys in the Southern Empire know how to get there. The sky is already darkening. After the last shelling of the Cao Family Trading Company,  All the airships have been dispatched, and the airships in the sky are all densely packed with Cao Family Trading Company's airships. They all know that if they continue to attack, these things will probably blow them up and not even a scrap will be left.  Yes, these are the people from the Cao Family Trading Company. They will use such things after they cannot defeat them. I don¡¯t know what they are thinking in their minds, but one thing is certain, that is, the people from the Cao Family Trading Company are not  They are willing to fight at night. Although the Southern Empire wants to fight at night, they have not been given food all day. How can they fight?  Even the general is hungry, so he will definitely not fight.

    "Haha, I really didn't expect that we could achieve such great results today. If the people of the Southern Empire want to attack at night, I really don't know what to say to them. It is still very beneficial to them during the day. If they attack one by one  They don't know what to do if they attack at night. We will also give them a head-on blow. Have the results been calculated? How is the situation on Takuba Yuanye's side? We are all attacking together. If that guy doesn't hold on  If so, I really have to teach him what to do tomorrow. By the way, our people can also start activities in the capital. War is one aspect on the battlefield, and it is another aspect in a peaceful place.  One aspect, if used well, may be greater than the progress on the battlefield." Li Cong happily looked at the soldiers who were drinking broth. They had all been tired for a day, but today's casualties were  Much less than yesterday.  Some of the injured have already been pulled down. For the Cao Family Trading Company, as long as you are injured, you have to be pulled out immediately. Even if you feel it is not affected, it will not work. The injured person will not be injured after going down.  When people come back, they are the most valuable assets of the entire business firm.  If something happens to them, it will be unacceptable to the entire trading company. They can't do things like that. They must take good care of the wounded. It is absolutely different from the Southern Empire who doesn't care whether the wounded live or die.

    "Sir, today's report has already come up with a rough figure. Because the war has just stopped, we haven't got the figures in many places yet. Sometimes we can't estimate it. What's certain is that now  The loss is not very big. About 40,000 of our people have lost their combat effectiveness. The remaining 50,000 or so people can come back after two days of rest. Their injuries are not very serious. As for the Southern Empire, our airship report  They said that all three of their legions were crippled by us. Their losses today will be more than 12 million people. One of their legions tried to go around and attack us from behind, but it walked into our minefield and is still there today.  They haven¡¯t come out yet. The casualties are more than half, but our minefields have been cleared by them. We need to continue to lay out minefields tomorrow. General Tuoba¡¯s side is better than ours.  Almost, they have just begun to build fortifications now, and the liaison officer from the General's side just came over and said that they have no more artillery shells and asked us here to deliver them to them quickly. They may have some at night.  There will be a war, and the enemies over there have no intention of pushing back." The adjutant on the side said, he really admired the boss in front of him. In the past, they said that Tuoba Yuanye was their Cao Family Trading Company  He is the best at fighting, but the result can be seen. Our people here are resting here, but the people over there are not finished yet. We still have some remaining shells, although they are  It's not much, but it's much better than running out of shells over there. There are no shells at all. They will face a war at night, and it seems they won't be able to rest at night.

    "Well, send our artillery shells to them quickly. As long as our key attack can succeed this time, these two strongholds will be like nails to theirs. Then we will  Let them know how great we are, we will have whatever we want at that time, and they will not give us any embarrassment. These people are not fools, and they all understand that now is a critical time. I guess the Southern Empire must be  There will still be some killing moves, but for us, no killing moves are of any use. It is Tuoba Yuanye who is a little worried and tells everyone over there to be on guard. An empire has been inherited.  After so many years, we will definitely have our own powerful things. If we are not careful, this thing will be very fun. Now is the time for us to occupy the top, but now we are only a little bit better than the other party.  , if we are not careful, such a small advantage may disappear immediately. At that time, we will really regret it. We must keep this point so that we can do better in the subsequent negotiations.  "Li Cong said quickly when he heard that Tuoba Yuanye's side was not over yet. He had already stored more than 30 million large-scale artillery shells in the world inside his body. These things had just been transported from the earth. They go up every day.  The cost of one million rounds is also very huge, but without cannon, the enemy's attack cannot be blocked. This thing is indispensable. This thing can sometimes break the enemy's will to fight. The Southern Empire's  This is what many soldiers are most afraid of. In their view, there is definitely a difference between a cannon going off and a cannon not going off. They all know that a cannon is the most powerful weapon.

    Things like laser cannons are now used on the earth.  It can be said that there are such old-fashioned artillery shells. For some countries that originally existed on the earth, they have a large reserve of such things. 30 million rounds is just a small number. Human beings make other things.  It may not be of much use, but the thing it makes is very powerful. Many people say that the weapons made by humans may destroy the entire earth several times.  In fact, this thing is absolutely true, and it is even possible hundreds of times. Of course, it will be even more powerful if you add those nuclear weapons. These things are pediatric for the earth, and they are the most used on the earth now.  It's the laser cannon.  This thing is driven by a rectangular energy crystal block about 15 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide. This thing can charge it quickly. Sometimes such a thing can flatten a hill in one go.  If this was the case, it would be possible to take down the entire planet soon, but Li Cong did not use those things. In Li Cong's opinion, such things were too powerful, and the world itself had not figured it out yet.  If those things are taken out, it is estimated that some people here will be dissatisfied and they will be besieged. Of course, what they fear most is that some more powerful enemies will appear, and Li Cong will really not be able to deal with it.  , who knows who they are.

    The Southern Empire was also sorting out the results of their battle, but in the end, the result surprised them all.  Is this nonsense?  How is this possible?  The Southern Empire lost more than 14.5 million troops today, and the combined losses on both sides exceeded 26 million. Although it was 4 million less than yesterday, they absolutely cannot afford such losses every day. When does a dead person in a war become a dead person?  It's so powerful. How could such a situation happen in the past? Is this what war will look like from now on?  When the senior officials of the Southern Empire received this report, the first thing they thought of was how they should deal with it.  Continuing to send troops to the front line is nonsense. If the number of people can solve the problem, then there will be no need to be as uncomfortable as now. What they have to do is how to solve this problem. So many people in the past are probably of no use.  .  But what can they do?  I can only ask the second prince Juan to do a better job under the imperial edict. The second prince himself is also aggrieved. He didn't expect that this job would turn out like this. If he had known that it would end like this, he wouldn't have beaten us to death.  If you want to take care of this matter, you might as well just stay in the capital. You can live a good life in the capital, but now you are fine. Everything is my fault. Do you think this matter has anything to do with us?  ?  Can we decide?  When did the people from the Cao Family Trading Company become so easy to bully?  If you have the ability, just come and give it a try. Then you will know how to issue imperial edicts later. Don¡¯t you know how easy it is to issue imperial edicts?  I can also get things done with just a few strokes of my pen, but is that the case now?  Have you taken a closer look to see if this can be done?  Are all the people in the Cao Family Trading Company idiots?

    The war has entered the third day. On this day, the targets of attack and defense seem to have changed. The Cao Family Trading Company has changed from the attacking party to the defending party. Of course, the Cao Family Trading Company is definitely attacking, but only in a small area.  Just attack. Starting from the two occupied bases, start sending your own troops in their east-west direction. It turns out that the second line of defense only covered less than 200 miles. For a line of defense that is 3,000 miles long,  It's nothing to say, it's just one-fifteenth, as long as they can pay attention to it.?, This is nothing, but they didn't pay attention to this matter. They thought that the people from Cao's Trading Company would definitely continue to attack towards the north, and would never attack from the east and west, but it was because of their  Wrong estimation, these people are going to fail. They have gathered a fighting force. The only people left on the defensive position are some people who are of little use. It can be said that these people can still look after the house, but  They really had no ability to resist when they encountered the powerful warriors like Cao's Trading Company, so they lost 500 miles of defense in less than a few hours.

    The second prince never expected that a few hours ago, he thought he could quickly take back these two places, but now it seems that taking them back has no meaning. He is losing 200 miles per hour.  It is estimated that at this rate, the second line of defense will be gone by this afternoon. Of course, millions of people from the Cao Family Trading Company died today.  Because they all attacked by force, the losses were not small. They would have been very happy yesterday. Less than 20 million people died on their side today. This ratio is already very good, but now the results are like this  What's the use?  In other words, I don't need such a result at all. What I need is to drive them all back.  To protect the second line of defense, he understood very well what it would mean if this line of defense was lost. It meant that the Southern Empire was simply unable to form a third line of defense. It could only rely on the resistance of each city one by one. If  In that case, the Cao Family Trading Company would definitely be able to reach the capital of the Southern Empire within a few months.  Even if it is possible to occupy all the territory of the Southern Empire, unless the other three empires come out to confront the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, they may be restrained, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to let Cao  The people from the family business stopped in their tracks, and the second prince went crazy. This was just an explanation people gave him at this time. The crazy second prince gave the order to retreat when he knew that the second line of defense had completely collapsed.  The army of more than one billion began to run back desperately. The 5 million cavalrymen of the Cao Family Trading Company would not waste this opportunity. They mounted their horses and killed the soldiers who had turned into sheep

    Li Cong did not expect that today's battle would be so smooth. Although the losses on his side were a bit larger, the strategic goal had basically been achieved. More than 1.1 million rounds of artillery shells were fired today. Li Cong saw that  Looking at the inner world that is already empty.  The war should be over by this time. The blitzkrieg relied on the power of artillery. Now that there are no more artillery shells, it must have stopped. However, the army of the Southern Empire is now even more chaotic. If I can do it all at once,  It is estimated that they can reach their capital city.  However, Li Cong still did not put his idea into practice. He knew that the people in the three empires over there had already tolerated him to the limit. If he went to the hometown of the Southern Empire, it is estimated that the people in the Southern Empire would definitely unite.  The remaining three empires will engage in the largest war against themselves.  At that time, it was just a joke to go head-to-head with the people of the four empires with my own little strength. I might die miserably. Even some masters from the four empires might kill me. Some  At that time, I was very afraid of the strength of those masters. There were still a group of very powerful people in these four empires. They might not be able to match Li Cong individually, but they still had some very powerful battle formations.  If they all use the formation, Li Cong may lose miserably. These people estimate that Li Cong is afraid of this, so they will not carry out the war to the end. People from the four empires see Li Cong in the new  After the attack was stopped for one day, they stopped talking. The rest was about the Southern Empire, which has nothing to do with us. If you want to end the war, you still have to have a good talk with the people from the Cao Family Trading Company and give up.  Just order whatever you want.

    Many people in the Cao Family Trading Company didn't know why Li Cong issued such an order. Now was the best time to attack. Behind the second line of defense was a vast plain. As long as their cavalry could rush over, it would take at least one day.  400 li is no problem. You can occupy more than fifty provinces of the Southern Empire in one week. Stopping at this time is simply a waste of the lives of the Cao family business. Many generals do not understand Li Cong's behavior.  They all wanted to argue with Li Cong to see what Li Cong meant and why he stopped, but these people were stopped by Tuoba Yuanye. What are you talking about? Your task is to obey orders.  , When you came out of the military academy, you all knew this sentence by heart. What happened now? Why don¡¯t you remember this thing? If you don¡¯t even remember this, you are not a soldier.  In fact, when Tuoba Yuanye started, he had some thoughts in his mind. This was the best time. The three-day war caused the casualties of Cao Family Trading Company to 2.5 million, which was already a large number.  NumberWell, such casualties require greater results. Unexpectedly, Li Cong called a halt at this time, but he soon understood that although the current war situation of the Cao Family Trading Company was excellent, but  He clearly knows that no one can predict what will happen in the future, and he may suffer disaster.

    ¡°The Cao Family Trading Company and the Southern Empire are not the only two forces on this continent, there are also many other powerful forces.  Although the Cao Family Trading Company has already controlled Daozong, to be honest, there are very few things that a Daozong can do. Now because of the war with the Southern Empire, Daozong has been overrun by the Southern Empire's army of over 100 million.  They are under surveillance. It is said that the four major sects are very powerful, but they have no way to deal with the country's violent machine. You have many ninth-level warriors.  But we have more ordinary people. If you want to go out, you have to massacre our ordinary people. If you kill too many, it is estimated that those so-called righteous people will stand up, so the normal war Dao Sect is basically a  As a spectator, they sent more than 5,000 disciples to help the people of the Cao Family Trading Company.  But no matter whether it is the beginning or the end, these people are not of much use on the battlefield, not even as powerful as a cannon. The role of these masters on the battlefield of the sea of ????people can be said to be very little, even if you are  A level 10 warrior throws you into an army of millions, and you kill all these millions of armies.  You are very powerful, but what is the final result?  In the end, you still have one result, that is, you are killed directly, and there is no chance of any good results. In the end, your result is that you are killed exhausted, and no one can save you, because your opponent is an empire.  A vast empire.  This is also the reason why Li Cong retreated. He didn't want to run into the four empires.

    "Haha, I know what you are thinking when I see your look. Are you feeling uncomfortable because of my order? Yes, we have the upper hand now, but this is in comparison with the other three major powers.  On the basis that the empires have not intervened, do you think that our food can stop the three empires? Impossible. That is just because their bottom line has not been reached. If it has reached their bottom line, they will not  We will be soft-hearted. When the time comes, we will face an army of tens of billions. Our weapons are powerful, and our soldiers are also very powerful, but what is the concept of an army of more than ten billion? Even our people  It is impossible to kill them all even if we are weak. On the contrary, some of our businesses within the four empires will suffer heavy losses. At that time, our losses will be great. On the whole, we are still a chamber of commerce. Even if  We have a lot of territory, but after all, it is difficult for us to face four powerful empires. If we fight any one of them individually, we are not afraid of them. What we are afraid of is that they will unite. In that case, there will be no us at all.  There is hope of rising, so at this time, we should just accept it when things are good. You see, how peaceful it is now. The one who is suffering now is the Southern Empire. They will definitely offer a price that satisfies us, and  We all need to rest." Li Cong looked at Tuoba Yuanye and said. Tuoba Yuanye didn't say a word. Li Cong knew what this guy wanted to say. It can be said that this is what he is thinking now.  of these.

    "Humph, I don't know how many times you have said these things to me, Old Wu. When I ordered to stop the attack, the generals who came to me were either 100 or 80. I told them the same thing, but to be honest,  Although I explained it to them, I still couldn't wrap my head around it. Now we have the advantage. Although there are more than a billion Southern Empire troops in front of us, you can tell by looking at their appearance.  , they don¡¯t even have any backbone at all, they are not soldiers at all. Not to mention our powerful soldiers, even some ordinary people with weapons can easily kill them. Look at what they look like.  , they will choose to throw down their weapons when they escape. The army of the Southern Empire is what it is today. If we can work harder, I guarantee that you will be able to speak in the palace of the Southern Empire in the second half of the year.  , Yes, that¡¯s what you said, the pressure from the four empires, but what if they can¡¯t unite together? Didn¡¯t our intelligence department say that the conflicts between them are very serious, I don¡¯t think they will do it for these things  They are united together. As long as there are conflicts among them, can't we all take advantage of it?" Tuoba Yuanye still said what was in his heart. Seven of his fifteen guards died.  He died in battle. The situation at that time was really too critical. The tide of the Southern Empire had already reached the headquarters. He sent all his guards there. At that time, he said that he would attack the capital of the Southern Empire.  Go, now he's breaking his promise.

    "You are right, but you should also know. It is possible that these things are just superficial phenomena. What if the Southern Empire has not weakened to this point? We have already rushed forward."?, what should we do?  How many of our soldiers can attack? I don¡¯t know if you have seen this terrain. 3,000 miles constitutes the second line of defense. If the Southern Empire can establish a third line of defense, their defense line will be 10,000 miles, or even  longer.  At that time, we will divide our forces even more fiercely. Look at the area we occupied. Although the encirclement and suppression is still going on, those people have also caused us a lot of casualties. We don't have such a big belly.  To eat all of this, we can only do it slowly.  Let all this happen slowly. We must first digest what we have eaten before we can do other things. Otherwise, we may all be killed. We cannot lose our own  , this is what a senior commander fears most. I thought you would understand me.  Watching you explain to those generals, I thought you really understood. It really disappoints me. Go back and talk to Lao Wu, he will make you understand better.  "Li Cong didn't forgive Tuoba Yuanye at all. He was really a little angry. Originally, he felt that Tuoba Yuanye should really understand him, but he didn't expect that this guy really didn't understand him.  This guy's thoughts are actually the same as those of ordinary generals. They all want to continue the attack.

    Things within the army still have to be digested by themselves. Li Cong came out and walked around. Each of these people was a little depressed. They all hoped to end the war quickly, but it can't end now because  The Southern Empire has already begun to convene a royal meeting to discuss the issue of peace, and they are not all fools.  Naturally, I also know that the people in the Cao Family Trading Company must have their own ideas. They will not start this matter haphazardly. They will definitely get enough benefits in the end. The Cao Family Trading Company will also send its own representatives there.  of.  This person must be Wu Zuoxi, but Wu Zuoxi is not clear about Li Cong's bottom line, so it is okay to communicate with Li Cong. Of course, the so-called negotiation is naturally about two aspects. One is  Indemnity, and the other one is naturally to cede territory. The indemnity must be a large amount, so that the people of the Southern Empire will not have any ability to resist in a short time. It is a question to see how much can be obtained from the ceded territory.  Now Li Cong must have his own ideas. Next, we will see how Wu Zuoxi made a price when he arrived in the capital of the Southern Empire, and how he discussed it with them. This is also a continuation, and during the negotiation process,  Li Cong still had to cooperate militarily, and he had to make the people of the Southern Empire feel the pressure. Otherwise, how could this matter be handled so easily? The Eastern Empire signed the agreement back then  The situation was not that simple. They were also in a mood for a long time.

    "Boss, the people from the Southern Empire have already come here to get the news. They can no longer hold on to the truce for two days. They want to have peace talks with us. Their people have already talked to us about their general intentions.  Like the Eastern Empire, they hope to end the war with dignity. Another thing is that the land ceded to us will never appear in the treaty. They hope to use a secret contract to keep everything the same as what we did last time.  The Eastern Empire does the same thing, and there is also the matter of reparations. They hope to use our tax cuts or other things to do this. In general, they are telling their people that they are not the ones who failed in this war, but  It's us who have to leave enough face for them." Wu Zuoxi had already talked with the people from the Southern Empire, and he found this matter a bit funny. It was like we were defeated.  How could the people of the Empire make such a request? The reason why they signed such a contract with the Eastern Empire was because they were not the Eastern Empire's opponent, and no all-out war broke out. Moreover, the Eastern Empire was much stronger than the Southern Empire.  Now that we have completely defeated you, you still want to save face. Is this possible?  Isn't this a bit funny? If you can do whatever you want, isn't it possible for us? We have been fighting for so long, so many people have died, and the world will be famous.  , everything is not that simple, but since you want to keep this secret, we can set the requirements higher.

    "Haha. In fact, I knew what they meant when they came. They definitely hope to save their face, but they also have to understand that face is sometimes needed. We are in the Eastern Empire.  It's because we are not capable enough. The three empires will never confront us because of a contract, as long as we don't continue the attack. They will definitely not care about the rest, so we  We absolutely cannot agree to this condition of the Southern Empire. In fact, we don¡¯t have that reputation at all. Only if we insist on such things will they give up some other things. Then everything will be ours.It's time to have the final say.  This is a negotiation skill. I think you will know more about this kind of thing than me. They cannot be left idle on the issue of compensation. Regarding the financial situation of the Southern Empire, what do you think we should propose?  What about reparations demands?  We can't let them go berserk, otherwise they may continue to fight us even if the war doesn't end. Now we also need peace.  The war cannot be allowed to continue, and it is not in the interests of our Cao family firm to continue.  "Li Cong said, regarding the economic situation of the Southern Empire, he only knew that apart from the Eastern Empire, the Southern Empire might be stronger. This time, his stores suffered a lot of losses, and he must ask the people of the Southern Empire to compensate him.  Yes, but I don¡¯t seem to have much confidence in this specific number, so it¡¯s better to let Wu Zuoxi talk about this matter.

    "Since you are the boss and you said that reputation is not that important, I understand. It seems that you are going to make a fortune in silence this time. Sometimes you have to do something like this. These guys are all  Everyone understands that they can't mess with us. These people are very measured in doing things. What they value most is their face. There are so many people in the entire empire, and there are a few other important ones.  Empire. They have not signed such a defeat treaty with us, and they will definitely not sign such a contract. For them, such a thing is more important than dozens of provinces. I will use this matter to talk to them.  Let's talk about it, we have to get the maximum benefit for us no matter what. Our soldiers are all dead and paid such a huge price, so we should get huge benefits." Wu Zuoxi's face also showed  There are some sad things. This can be said to be the war in which the Cao Family Trading Company suffered the most deaths and injuries. Without the efforts of so many people, such a result would not have been possible. The result this time can be said to be  Very good, it all depends on your own negotiations. As for the economic situation of the Southern Empire, their domestic economy is basically on the verge of collapse due to the war. If the war continues, the outcome of the Southern Empire will definitely not be the same.  How good it is, but they are all tough talkers. If this is the case, they will just ask you for more. Wu Zuoxi already had a number in his heart. At this moment, he saw Li Cong asking him,  Naturally, I knew it well.

    "The financial situation of the Southern Empire was still very good in the past. In the past, the annual revenue could reach about three trillion to four trillion silver. Of course, this was the total of their central and local finances.  Yes, including some royal property and the like, their income is at least 4 trillion silver per year. If it is more, it can reach about 6 trillion. But I think we will occupy 20% of them in this war.  They are some relatively developed provinces. It is already good that their income can reach 3 trillion yuan this year. What do you think of our offer of 20 trillion yuan in compensation to them? If they still can¡¯t pay it.  , we can also lend them money, just ask them to use some fiscal revenue as a guarantee. They owed us more than one trillion yuan before, and they no longer recognize that. This will not work. This account will not work.  We have to make clear calculations with them. We also have to ask them to compensate us for some of our real estate properties in various places. If there is some damage, we can calculate it with them according to the pre-war price. This they  He should not default on his debt. My price was 50 trillion silver. They must not be willing to accept this bastard. In the end, slowly, there should be no problem with 30 trillion silver. I believe they will not either.  Other ideas." Wu Zuoxi still knows a lot about economic matters, but he didn't expect that the Southern Empire would only have such a huge income. Of course, these are just taxes, and some other incomes are  Not counting, their hidden income is much greater than taxes, but outsiders cannot investigate clearly.

    The royal family's monthly expenditures are on the surface hundreds of billions of dollars. If it relies on such a small amount of fiscal revenue, it is estimated that the entire Southern Empire will go bankrupt. This is absolutely impossible. As for the Southern Empire  People from the Cao Family Trading Company have also inquired about some hidden incomes, but there are no results. Although there are some mines and the like, it is impossible for those things to generate much income, and most of the time they are still  There are some things that cannot be noticed. These things may be the most produced by the royal family, but the royal family will keep these things very tightly and will never let you see them.

    "Well, basically what you said is good. I can rest assured if you go to negotiate. The other three empires haven't said anything yet, but I estimate that the negotiations will start in half a month.  They will definitely send people to participate. Losing both sides is the best thing for them. The people from these three empires are causing trouble.Those people, they are not good birds. You have to let them know how powerful we are. Although we cannot compete with them, we still have to let them know that we are not afraid of people from the three empires uniting. At least we have to  There is someone with such qualifications, so they can't underestimate us.  "Li Cong thought for a while and said, the people of the three empires cannot think that they can control me by uniting. If this is the case, they will definitely be lawless. They must not be allowed to succeed and must be contained.
