"Pah~"

"This is really too much!"

Mr. Li looked at the briefing that had just been handed to him and became furious. He threw the document next to him onto the table.

In the huge conference room.

Seven leaders from the central government and six heads of various units sat around the front of the reddish-brown long table, and a dozen ministers from important departments sat at the back of the table.

On both sides of the long table, against the walls, sat a long row of officials of lower ranks.

Those attending the meeting were generals and officials above the rank of general.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room was extremely depressing.

The two rows of people sitting against the wall didn't dare to breathe, their faces filled with suppressed anger.

Song Yiyuan glanced at Commander Wang of the 97th Unit, whom he hadn't seen for over a year.

Commander Wang asked through lip reading, "Where's Marshal Lin?"

Song Yiyuan pursed his lips and turned away.

It’s already this late, and you still have the mood to lip read.

Commander-in-Chief Lu bit his cheek and said, "Country K sent 200,000 troops, Country P sent 200,000 troops, Country Q sent 180,000 troops, Country X sent 220,000 troops, Country L sent 200,000 troops, and the militia 100,000, for a total of 1,100,000 troops."

"The troops we can currently deploy are 10,000 from the Kyoto Military Region, 40,000 from the Sky Eagle Guard, 38,000 from the Jiuqi Army, 27,000 from the Shaanxi Army, 30,000 from the Shua Army, and 30,000 from the Yangcheng Army, for a total of 220,000 troops. Against the Shanghe Kingdom, victory would require a miracle."

What he didn't say was that if they really faced such a large force, 80% of the soldiers sent out this time might not be able to return.

The point is that this country has not yet exerted its full strength.

If a war really breaks out, the other side will only have more troops.

It’s all because China is short of food and weapons.

Moreover, the people of Ge had just come to power, and their own troubles had not been completely resolved. Now they were facing internal and external troubles, and some of their troops could not be used.

"This war of self-defense must be fought. If we lose, the worst that can happen is we'll be back to the days before liberation."

There was an unspeakable bitterness in Ji Gong's words, but his tone was extremely firm.

A look of determination appeared on the faces of everyone present.

If you don't fight, you will have to agree to the other party's unreasonable demands.

What is the difference between this and the previous dynasty?

Must fight!

Everyone agreed.

If it was two days ago, when only Country L was invading, they could still say they would take it easy.

Now that a small country has issued a declaration of war, its intention is self-evident.

If they retreat now, they will have lived in vain for so many years.

Anyone who suggests not fighting does not deserve to sit here.

Zhang Gong sat in the first seat and took a deep breath.

"Fight."

"This country declared war at that time, betting that we wouldn't dare to take action. But when have we ever been afraid? We fought hard to get to this point. At worst, we can fight again. Since we have decided to fight this war, we must send troops as soon as possible. Yangcheng is now our important port and trading city, and we can't let it go. Come, tell me about our war preparations."

Commander Liao was the first to report, "We're running low on guns. We've already put in a request to buy from Country M, and they responded last night offering an unlimited supply. However, we've also heard that Country M has also sold weapons to Country L and Country P, though the exact quantity is unknown."

"In addition, there are 400,000 guns, including..."

The ten-minute report is over.

After everyone clearly heard the current combat readiness situation, their faces became even uglier.

The number of combat-ready weapons is only enough for two rounds.

But a battle may have more than two rounds, ten or twenty rounds are possible.

Zhang Gong seemed to have forgotten the content of his previous report. He glanced around and his eyes fell on the six troop leaders.

"Commander Ma, General Song, your Kyoto Military District and Sky Eagle Guard will be assembled and dispatched this afternoon. Guild Ji will arrange for the railway to transport you to the front lines as quickly as possible."

"Commander Wang, Commander Li, Commander Zhou, after the meeting, immediately return to Dong by helicopter. The entire team will depart for the front lines tonight."

Finally, he looked at Commander Kong and said, "Commander Kong, when you return from the meeting, send troops to support the border troops and wait for the support of the larger force."

"This campaign is led by General Zhou, assisted by two princes from the central government. Commander Liao is leading 20,000 troops in charge of logistics, and Commander Lu is in charge of the defense of Kyoto. What do the others think?"

Zhang Gong looked at Li Gong and others.

The other six people in the Central Core raised their hands in agreement: "No objection."

Everyone else was nervous.

We really have to fight.
