After speaking, Jiang Chen slowly sat down.

Qin Che smiled and said, "Perhaps the war will break out soon. Song Ruhui is not stupid. He will never sit idly by and watch Lingbi change dynasties, or even want to take over. I propose that the military order the establishment of a Northern Expeditionary Army and start deploying strategies now. Let's talk about how to deal with it."

The group exchanged glances, but none of them spoke easily.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Zhanhuo from the military headquarters said, "The Green Alliance will not attack Wall One first. Strategically speaking, the most likely scenario is an attack on the eastern region, which is our heartland and a hub for synthetic starch, munitions, weapons, medicines, and other supplies. In contrast, the western region is heavily guarded, and I think they will not easily invade. The fighting will first concentrate in the eastern region to destroy our industrial facilities, food, farmland, and mineral deposits. We need to focus our military deployment there."

Qin Che looked at Chen Da, the commander of the Eastern District, and asked, "What do you think?"

Chen Da stood up and bowed: "Sir, I'll do whatever you say!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Qin Che chuckled and gestured for him to sit down again, saying, "You seem to be having an easy time. As a commander, you should also have a strategic mindset."

Chen Da said, "I may not understand these things, but as long as the master gives the order, the entire East District will fight to the death!"

Nowadays, there aren't many people in Wall One who can call Qin Che "Master." These people are all Qin Che's loyal followers, veterans who have been by his side since the Sand Castle era.

Chen Da is one of them.

He was once the leader of Li Jiuyuan's mercenary organization. Later, he encountered the Scorpion Gang, and two other officers were killed. He then took over the position of the first commander of the Sand Castle Spring Soldier Force. Later, Chen Da led the Spring Soldier Force on a training expedition to clean up the biker gangs and bandits in the eastern district. He made outstanding contributions and was highly regarded by Chen Fusheng and Sand Rat. He was promoted continuously and first became the military supervisor of Sand Castle, holding real power in the Ministry of War. He was already untouchable, but because of his loyalty to Qin Che, he was always very clear about his position.

Immediately after the Military Administration Department was established, Chen Da handed over some powers to it, allowing the entire Spring Army to undergo ideological reform.

Later, Qin Che took off, and his entire family benefited. After the military reorganization, Chen Da became the commander of the Eastern District. In terms of both command authority and status, he reached the pinnacle of his life, standing on equal footing with the officers of the Imperial Guard and the leaders of the Western Frontier Army.

Even so, the way he called out "Master" remained unchanged.

Qin Che is like his master; wherever his master points, he goes.

Qin Che said, "There will be times when we need you. You should discuss the deployment in the Eastern District with Vice Minister Li more often."

Chen Da looked at Li Zhanhuo. Although he was quite unhappy with him, he had no choice but to nod to him since the master had given the order.

Li Zhanhuo smiled politely.

To be honest, his position as deputy minister is not easy to hold.

Chen Da was a close associate of the Regent during the Sand Castle period, and sometimes he had to be treated with extra courtesy. He spoke to Chen Da politely and always asked him to exercise his authority before giving orders.

Fortunately, he was from the Glory Court faction, and the armored troops were from the same faction as him. No matter how powerful Chen Da was, he wouldn't be foolish enough to fight him.

In terms of ability, Li Zhanhuo is more adept at strategic direction.

In terms of duties, Chen Da had no choice but to listen to him.

If you go out to fight and lose, you have to take responsibility yourself, but following Li Zhanhuo's orders is much easier...

As for the two commanders of the Western and Southern districts...

Cai Dong, originally from Chen Fusheng's command, is now considered a direct descendant of the Regent Prince. His position is awkward, as his background and integrity can never match Chen Da's. Not to mention Song Zhiming, the Southern District Commander, who holds the lowest position in the military.

Everyone present was shrewd and cunning; none of them were easy to deal with.

"The organization of the Northern Expeditionary Army will be fully managed by Vice Minister Li. Elite soldiers will be selected from various districts, fully armed, and trained to be ready for war at any time. Armored warriors will also be included in the organization, as they are quite strong. As for the psionic combat power, Wu Ming, what do you say?" Qin Che looked towards the corner of the crowd.

As the combat leader of the psionic special operations team, Wu Ming naturally had a responsibility to step onto the battlefield.

He stepped forward and said, "We need the strong support of the highest academy. The Green Alliance doesn't have much psionic combat power, so we can handle it with ease."

Sitting next to Qin Che, Li Xin smiled and said, "They are capable, but there are too few of them. We can't just send them to the battlefield like soldiers. Vice Minister Li should discuss with Team Leader Wu more about how to use them and listen to their opinions."

Li Zhanhuo nodded slightly: "I understand."

Qin Che smiled and looked at Li Xin: "Who knows, maybe we'll both have to go to the battlefield by then."

Li Xin said: "It shouldn't be that bad. With the strength of the First Wall and your appeal, the three regions of the East, South and West, including those independent regimes, will give us their full support. If it really comes to us going to the battlefield, it will probably be when the front line is retreating one after another and the Green Alliance is truly invincible."

Qin Che lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "Speaking of those independent regimes, they seem to be cooperating so far. But once the war starts, things could change. I need to send a diplomatic team to accompany Li Jiuyuan to various places for negotiations in a couple of days."

Everyone looked up at Qin Che, their faces filled with surprise.

"I will offer generous terms to first acknowledge their independence and sign an alliance agreement. I have already sent a telegram to Li Jiuyuan regarding the specifics and have received his cooperation. However, today, this matter still needs to be discussed with you, and each department should provide its own candidates."

The negotiation partners are all listed in a table.

Including forces such as Purple Castle and Boiler City in the South District, and Wind Castle, Bunker, and Garbage Mountain in the East District, these independent regimes have average military capabilities, but are very capable in other aspects. Qin Che's idea is simple: limit the number of their troops and make them contribute funds to purchase national bonds, thus binding them to the alliance.
