"Lao Wang, stop looking at your phone. Tell me how to make the call."
A sturdy man seemed to be anxious after hearing this. He drank the wine in the glass, looked straight at Lao Wang, with a strangely kind expression on his face, and said with a smile.
"Don't be so anxious. Let me finish reading these reports first."
Lao Wang waved without even looking at him, but continued to look down at his phone.
After a while, he finally raised his head, looked at everyone in the restaurant, and began to explain.
"Judging from the current situation, our Yanlian National Defense Forces have been surrounding the enemy without attacking for a month. This is certainly not what people say online, that the enemy is too powerful and we dare not attack rashly. It's not that we are not fully prepared, nor is it that we have already fought with them and are at a stalemate."
"Everyone, just listen to it for yourselves, and don't record it with your phones. Let's continue."
Lao Wang took the tea given by the person next to him, took a sip and continued to speak, as if he didn't want people to spread the news. He pointed at a few people who were recording videos and asked them to put down their phones. It is not good to spread some things on the Internet. Lao Wang understands this very well.
"Based on current data, satellite data, and official announcements, our military deployment is more than sufficient to deal with these alien races. However, our two air fleets are currently stationed in the East Sea Kingdom without deploying, while only deploying secondary forces to siege them. This is clearly unwise from a tactical perspective."
"But we can't be so narrow-minded when looking at things. I've often said this: the foundation of our Yanlian is the ordinary human race, and our Yanlian's enemy is the divine realm. All conflicts between us ordinary humans and the various races in the divine realm are extensions of the conflicts between the divine realm and the divine world. Everyone must understand this."
"So from this perspective, our siege without attacking is simply because we want to. The main benefits of this are as follows..."
He didn't have an accent and was a great storyteller. What he said made people want to keep listening. Duan Tianming was also fascinated by what he said.
"This Lao Wang really has some skills."
Luo Wu couldn't help but sigh. Just from the published news, he could almost infer their strategy. It really had basically reached the level of a think tank.
"Well, there are many things we are not afraid of the Yanlian people knowing, so it would be good to let them understand some of this wisdom."
Duan Tianming smiled and nodded, watched Lao Wang finish his speech, and then continued to walk out.
He likes walking around the streets like this.
"Let's go and see the temple again!"
Duan Tianming looked at his old friend who was following him and said with a smile.
In Yanlian, there are not many people who can truly be his friends, but Luo Wu, Wu and others are definitely among them. These people have followed him since the tribal era and do not have so many red tape with him in private, so they can be considered to have a close personal relationship with him.
"Well, it's been a while since I last visited the Goddess of Rain and Sunshine."
Luo Wu smiled and said that when he was a young man, he was also a devout believer of Goddess Yuqing, but now he has almost forgotten about this matter.
Perhaps looking at the entire Yanlian, there are not many people who can truly remember these things.
The two of them took the subway and traveled along the route for two hours before arriving at Yuqing City, which was now the military industrial center of Yan State.
This city was extremely polluted in the past few years, but in recent years it has gradually transformed and developed the environmental protection industry and arranged a lot of people to purify the environment, which gradually solved the increasingly outrageous pollution problem.
After a long period of expansion, the original urban area has long been marginalized and is currently being developed mainly as a tourist attraction in the ancient city.
Walking into this street, a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling lingers in my heart.
As the earliest indigenous resident of this ancient city, Duan Tianming has not entered this area for decades. He has come to Yuqing City several times in recent years, either because of military-industrial transformation issues or because of environmental issues.
He had indeed never paid attention to this ancient city and the original palace and temple.
Entering the city, there are many young people on the streets wearing clothes from the pre-industrial era. They are walking on this relatively wide street, some holding umbrellas, some carrying long swords.
“The changes are pretty good.”
Duan Tianming felt a little sad. In order to develop, every household rushed to renovate their original houses and build high-rise buildings or brick and tile houses. The original Yuqing City had long been unrecognizable and became chaotic.
Now that the city has developed, the houses that were built with great difficulty have been demolished and rebuilt to their original appearance, creating such quaint streets and corridors.
“It’s truly amazing!”
Luo Wu walked and laughed, pointing at this family and saying what they used to do, then pointing to that side and saying that was the former military camp.
It feels like returning to my hometown that I haven’t seen for decades, and it feels like everything has changed and people have changed.
"arrive!"
After walking for several kilometers, they finally saw the temple in front of them.
This temple has been repaired many times. The statue of Zhao Yuqing that had been moved away was erected again in front of him. Duan Tianming walked into the temple and saw many couples worshiping there, as if they were praying for marriage.
And judging by the decoration of the temple, it does seem to be leading in this direction.
"This Yuqing City is truly bold. They actually dare to change the teachings of the Goddess Yuqing."
Duan Tianming said with a smile, as if he was joking.
But he just spoke, his eyes still staring at the statue in front of him. He looked at it for a long time, as if he wanted to remember it.
"I almost forgot what she looked like!"
Duan Tianming said in a low voice.
This statue is so realistic, dressed in green and with a solemn and sacred face. The trees and flowers behind it serve as a backdrop, making the entire temple full of vitality.
I never thought that after all these years, the Yan people still believed this.
He looked at the banners beside him, all of which said things like "wish for what you want will be granted", as if they really would come true.
Perhaps only an old man like Duan Tianming, who is no longer romantic, would be so indifferent to this god.
After all, few people now know that the statue no longer has a spirit, or they already know it, but they want the spirit to remain, which is a very complicated matter.
