Chapter 648: Drinking and Singing

Just as the four Snow Whites and the seven dwarfs were happily training, Lin Wen suddenly appeared.

"Attack the Qin Group and defeat Xiao Shuangshuang's fake father."

At the meeting, Lin Wen dropped a bombshell on everyone.

Not only did everyone become speechless with shock, but Qin Luoshuang was also extremely angry.

"Lin Wen, what's wrong with you again?"

Lin Wen didn't say much and voted directly.

Raise your hands first, then use your mouth.

The girl's sweet dream of many days was shattered in an instant. This guy showed his true colors in an instant. Qin Luoshuang was still imagining that Lin Wen suddenly became gentle, affectionate and comfortable.

That’s right.

Qin Luoshuang thought while biting her teeth.

This guy won't change at all.

That's how he does it, so tough, so ruthless, so unreasonable.

"Lin Wen! If you don't explain clearly, I will never agree!"

Lin Wen laughed and said, "Xiao Shuangshuang, you don't want the principle of the minority obeying the majority anymore?"

Everyone started to make a noise, and Li Linyue advised, "Xiao Qin, don't be so willful."

Yun Qingshui also said: "Miss Qin, principles are the foundation of the organization."

It was Xia Xiaoxiang's first time attending such a meeting. She looked left and right, and suddenly shouted, "Down with Qin Luoshuang!"

Qin Luoshuang was so angry that she just threw it all out: "I don't care! I want it!"

Lin Wen shrugged helplessly to everyone, indicating: See, it’s not me who is unreasonable, it’s the chief of staff who is unreasonable.

Seeing that the Chief of Staff was about to explode, Fang Dashan advised: "Chief Lin, please explain it clearly so that everyone can have a clearer understanding."

Lin Wen thought for a moment and said, "Qin Gang has committed crimes against humanity. His crimes are unforgivable. It's only natural for me to send troops to execute him."

Qin Luoshuang simply didn't know where to start complaining: "Is this normal?"

Li Linyue's eyes flashed, and she continued, "It's not just crimes against humanity. He's also violated our minimum wage standards, overtime standards, the prohibition of slavery, fair trade principles, and at least dozens of other laws and regulations. He deserves immediate rectification and a hefty fine."

"That's right."

Lin Wen smiled. She was indeed the first princess, and they were so in tune with each other.

"Since Qin Gang refuses to rectify their behavior, it's only natural for us to send troops to help them rectify their behavior, right?"

Li Linyue smiled and said, "That's right."

Qin Luoshuang covered her eyes and sighed, "I think you should just get married now."

Li Linyue asked happily, "Really? Does Xiao Qin think so too?"

Xia Xiaoxiang said anxiously, "Qin, are you crazy? Let me make it clear, if you want to engage in palace fighting, I won't accompany you. I already have someone I love."

The last sentence attracted everyone's attention and made them forget the previous one.

Qin Luoshuang was extremely surprised and asked, "Really? Xia, who is your crush?"

"cough!"

Lin Wen coughed, interrupting their chat.

It’s a pity that these people don’t go online much, otherwise they would know that this behavior is called “going off topic”.

"Okay, let's get down to business. From now on, we will enter combat mode. The four legions will set out from the west, cross the mountains, and attack the Qin Group in four directions."

Lin Wen turned his gaze away.

"Yun Qingshui, you should organize your brothers and manpower to rescue the enslaved civilians."

Yun Qingshui nodded seriously: "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Brother Lin."

"Qin Luoshuang, you are responsible for formulating the basic combat plan, and submit it to me for review after it is completed."

Qin Luoshuang's expression also became serious. She never acted foolishly when discussing serious matters.

"I see."

"Guo Feng, you are responsible for logistics. If necessary, you must send troops to protect the logistics supply lines."

Guo Feng said in a deep voice, "Yes, County Magistrate Lin."

Lin Wen smiled and said, "Then prepare for battle, the sooner the better."

Just as he was turning around to leave, Guo Feng suddenly called him.

"Headmaster Lin, how will the new eleven mechas be distributed? After the competitions and contests, we've already selected the pilots from among those with outstanding military achievements. Their training is basically complete and they're ready to go into battle."

Lin Wen thought for a moment and said, "Let them form a special forces team to support wherever there is danger. All new large mechas will be handled according to this example."

This answer made everyone feel relieved. Otherwise, no matter how it was distributed, there would be people who were dissatisfied.

Lin Wen was about to leave when Qin Luoshuang stopped him again.

"Lin Wen!"

Lin Wen turned around and saw Qin Luoshuang looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"What if, I mean if, while we are fighting the Qin Group, the Supreme Society attacks us from behind? What should we do?"

This question made everyone prick up their ears, as this was what they wanted to know.

Lin Wen smiled slightly and replied, "No." Then he turned and left.

The headquarters fell silent for a moment.

"Won't?"

Everyone chewed on these two words silently.

——

As soon as Lin Wen's war order was issued, the entire group started to operate. A large number of troops rushed to the front line by train, and a large amount of supplies were transported to the front line.

The unusual movement in Changshan County immediately alarmed observers from all sides. They originally thought that this was just a threatening strategic maneuver. After all, the Qin Group had just occupied the entire western part of the empire, and Changshan County, the core of the Lin Group, was directly adjacent to their territory. It was perfectly normal to dispatch troops for strategic defense at this time.

However, the National Alliance, controlled by Lin Wen, immediately issued a verdict against Qin Gang and penalties for violations against the Qin Group.

Reading those solemn notices of judgment and punishment, experts from all over the country were confused, feeling as if they had drifted into another timeline in their dreams, where Lin Wen was actually the king of the world.

However, as the war atmosphere in Changshan County intensified, the talk of strategic threats had become a bubble.

This is the real war.

Changshan County is about to send troops to fight against the Qin Group.

It's not a local war, it's a total war!

All strategic observers were stunned. Just now, they had been touting on various programs that the three-division empire was a boon for the common people, a blessing they had earned through the ages, a reality that was certain to come. Once the empire was divided, war would cease, all parties would live in peace, trade would flow, and a happy life would begin.

But when I turned around, the three-pointer hadn't even started and it was already over?

How dare the weakest Changshan County ignore the strongest Supreme Council and turn around to attack the second strongest Qin Group?

Is there something wrong with the mind of the legendary County Magistrate Lin?

All the experts who study Linwen feel like their IQs are being rubbed into the ground.

What’s even more terrifying is that due to their strategic misjudgment, they were disliked by their masters.

An expert who is no longer professional is useless.

In order to save face, they frantically belittled Lin Wen in various programs and reports, trying to portray him as a dictatorial, mentally abnormal madman who had only gotten to where he was today by sheer luck. They also asserted that Changshan County's actions were self-destructive, and that the Supreme Council would immediately send troops to divide Changshan County's territory with the Qin Group, and the empire would become a bipolar structure.

But Lin Wen's subsequent actions slapped them in the face again.

He held negotiations with the Great Elder and signed the "Non-Aggression Treaty between Changshan County and the Supreme Council". At the same time, in order to show friendship, the Great Elder donated a large amount of arms supplies to Changshan County, hoping that the two sides would establish an everlasting friendship, the friendly alliance would be unbreakable, and the flag of peace would never fall.

After two consecutive strategic misjudgments, the experts encountered distrust from everyone from top to bottom. As a result, many lost their jobs, and some were even imprisoned.

Of course, the only ones who encountered such misfortune were the experts of the Qin Group.

Southwest District.

Commander-in-Chief's Headquarters.

All the trusted generals had gloomy faces, even Qin Gang, who usually kept his emotions secret.

Changshan Group's sudden attack on them was something no one had expected, and even more so, it was incomprehensible.

With only three of them standing on their own, they've already achieved success and fame. Why not enjoy the wealth and glory that's coming? Isn't it better to live a life of power, where the warmth of the wind makes visitors intoxicated?

The Minister of Internal Affairs, Lei Xiangwen, angrily cursed, "Commander-in-Chief, that guy must have lost his mind and thought he was invincible, so..."

"Shut up!"

Qin Gang interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Stop talking such meaningless nonsense. I don't want to hear any of you belittling Changshan County. You've always mocked him, but he's come this far. Is it all just luck?"

The generals were silent.

No bullshit, they don't know what to say.

The attack from Changshan County was very bad news. It wasn’t that they were so afraid of Changshan County. Although their mecha warriors were indeed very powerful, they also had a lot of tanks and planes.

Mecha warriors are not invulnerable to swords and guns, so what are you afraid of?

What they feared was that after defeating Changshan County, they would lose their buffer and would have to face the Supreme Council head-on.

The threat from the Great Elder was tangible. No one was not afraid, and no one was willing to face it. They only wanted to enjoy themselves and did not want to fight against such a terrifying enemy.

The Imperial Army is so strong, how many people will die in a fight?

These generals hated Lin Wen in their hearts and wanted to cut him into pieces, but when it came to any ideas, they were all at a loss.

General Cao Daman suddenly said, "Commander-in-Chief, I believe the Great Elder must have deceived that kid. He must have tricked him with a bunch of promises and assurances that he would never keep, and let him fight to the death with us, while the Imperial Army took advantage of him."

Governor Xu Zongheng shook his head. "That's impossible. That guy is at least a local leader. How could he be so naive? Isn't this just fooling fools? Who would believe that?"

The Chief of Staff suddenly said, "Could it be possible that Lin Wen and the Great Elder have signed a secret agreement to deal with us together? They'll launch a feint attack to draw our attention, and then the Great Elder will take advantage of our northern vulnerability to launch a surprise attack! They'll bite off a piece of our flesh. That way, Changshan County won't have to bear the risk of fighting us. It's the Imperial Army that's fighting. Only in this way will he be likely to agree."

Everyone thought about it for a while and felt that this might be the most correct answer.

Qin Gang fell into deep thought.

This inference sounded reasonable, but he felt it was wrong.

He tried to put himself in Xiaoxiao's shoes and think from her perspective.

Changshan Commandery, Seven States, Empire, Great Elder, Alliance Treaty...

No, that's not her style.

Is there any other explanation?

Qin Gang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an uncontrollable pain came over him.

No explanation...

He once again touched upon the unacceptable possibility...

"Commander!"

When the Minister of Internal Affairs, Lei Xiangwen, saw his distorted face, he exclaimed, "What's wrong with you? Doctor! Doctor!"

"I'm fine."

Qin Gang forced himself to pull away his dark thoughts and not think about that possibility.

The pain gradually faded away.

He could breathe again.

look up.

I saw that the eyes in the room were all filled with endless worry.

But there is more hesitation, temptation, and a hint of unexpected joy hidden underneath.

It's like a young lion seeing his king injured.

Qin Gang's face hardened, his eyes revealing his usual steely coldness. He said calmly, "Whatever the reason, since Changshan County wants to wade into this mess, let's give them a head-on blow and let them know that the Qin Group won't take advantage easily. Cao Damang, Xu Zongheng, lead three armies to meet them head-on."

The two generals said in unison: "Yes!"

"Li Yuan, Zheng Cun, you will lead three more armies to Mengzhou to stop the imperial army."

The two generals said in unison: "Yes!"

"Zijun, you lead the central army to support Hezhou."

"Air Force Group, assemble in Mengzhou to guard against attacks from the Imperial Air Force."

…

As orders were issued one after another, the commander became normal again. Everyone's eyes gradually returned to normal, and they even started talking and laughing again.

"I don't think the Great Elder is anything to be afraid of."

"Right, right. Wouldn't it be better if we could dominate the empire alone instead of dividing it into three parts?"

"Ah Man, Zong Heng, we must show those Changshan Commandery brats how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. They only defeated a few losers, and they think they are invincible."

"Yes, we feel underestimated. We must teach them a lesson they will never forget, letting them know that their flashy robots are useless."

Cao Daman laughed and said, "Don't worry, brother. I will definitely beat the diapers out of that brat."

"That's right." Xu Zongheng smiled and said, "The battlefield is for men. Hairless children, you should go home and find your mother to feed you."

This caused a burst of laughter, and the generals laughed until tears came out. Only the chief of staff reminded them.

"Don't be careless, pride leads to defeat."

Cao Daman laughed and said, "Brother, if you lose this, I will twist my head off and use it as a chamber pot for you."

"I can't lose," Xu Zongheng insisted. "When I was galloping on the battlefield, he wasn't even born yet. If I lose, I'll acknowledge him as my ancestor."

The generals burst into laughter again.

Qin Gang knocked on the table and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense and prepare for battle. If something goes wrong, your good days will be over."

The generals then calmed down, saluted the commander-in-chief politely, and left.

The Qin Group quickly got into action and prepared for war with all its strength.

Peace in the empire is still a long way off, and civilians in the war zone can only pray that bombs don't fall near them.

Countless tanks rolled over the farmland, large numbers of armored vehicles leaped over the ditches, troop-carrying trucks were endless on the road, and one cannon after another was pushed to the front line.

After receiving a large number of defeated soldiers, the total strength of the Qin Group has exceeded two million. The defeated soldiers were originally soldiers from the major headquarters of the empire. They were of the same origin and were easy to recruit.

In order to win over the hearts of the people, the former commander Luo Yuanwuyao has now become a general on the front line, leading two powerful troops to take the lead.

The west of Changshan County faces the heartland of the Qin Group, and the main battlefield was chosen in Yunzhou.

Luo Yuan and Wu Yao arrived here with a large army.

Looking at the neatly-formed troops, Luo Yuan smiled and said, "It seems our chance to make a comeback has arrived."

Wu Yao also said excitedly: "That's right. We can't beat Ren Zhengqing, we can't beat the Supreme Council, we can't beat the Golden Lion King, we can't beat Commander Qin, so how can we not beat Changshan County?"

Both of them laughed.

"Changshan County is just a bunch of ragtag people. They won a few battles by luck. Their true strength is far inferior to ours. We are now strong and powerful. If that guy shows his head, we will immediately launch a fierce attack, attacking him from the front, back, left and right. We will beat him to a pulp on the spot."

"That's right."

Luo Yuan said excitedly:

"We have made such great contributions, and we will definitely be valued by Commander Qin. After all, we were once rivals who admired each other. Commander Qin will definitely look upon our heroic spirit with a different eye. The day when we will be reused is not far away."

Wu Yao smiled and said, "The Qin Group is the one with a bright future. Starting a business on your own is a dead end. With our talents, we will definitely make a comeback."

At this time, the messenger sent intelligence:

"The Changshan County army has left the western military base, crossed the Great Gobi Desert, left Changshan County, and is heading towards its designated location."

The two smiled at each other.

"We're surrounded!"

"Brother Luo, what a brilliant plan!"

"Brother Wu is the most intelligent there, while the Governor of Changshan County is completely clueless. If it were me, I would definitely anticipate an ambush here. I would only need to ambush one enemy troop from the flank and rear, and when our army is surrounded, I would attack from the outside and break the encirclement. Our army will surely be defeated."

"Yes, but they couldn't have predicted it. After this great victory, we must drink and have a good time."

——

On the train to Xinzhen, the capital of Changshan County, amid the neat and rhythmic rumbling sound, a soldier saw that they were very thirsty, so he opened the carriage that had been converted into a cage and handed in a bottle of Sanguotou, a specialty of Changshan County.

"The water is gone, so you can just drink what you have."
