While they were happily drinking and celebrating, the warships of the seven nations had already changed course and slowly disappeared into the sea.
Because they were going to Fang Xiyue's place for drinks, even though it was only 4 a.m., the division commanders, including Commander Wu, all came.
The drinking went on and on; everyone was completely drunk. The pressure they had been under since the apocalypse had been immense.
I'm letting off steam with this drinking, but I'll have to face it again when I wake up.
Fang Xiyue stayed with them for a while, but not for long. She went back to sleep under the escort of her three husbands.
The garrison of Licheng withdrew only after they could no longer see any warships. The garrisons of the other six cities also withdrew.
These soldiers had a new idea. They had previously considered asking their city lord to reclaim ownership, but after this battle, they suddenly didn't want to.
This protection mechanism is incredibly useful. Before, they might not have been able to sleep soundly at night, but now they can be attacked however they want from the outside without worrying about them.
However, if they remain at ease for too long, they may become complacent, so there are advantages and disadvantages.
The next day they reported their ideas, and then a small group chat was created where Fang Xiyue was not present, and they discussed how to make a decision.
However, none of this mattered to Fang Xiyue, because she was half-asleep and answering Commander Wu's call.
Commander Wu was sleeping soundly when he was informed that the seven-nation coalition was coming to attack China. He immediately got out of bed.
Dressed neatly, I sat at my desk waiting for the battle report, and then I heard a detailed description of how the artillery shells couldn't penetrate at all;
Then came the description of bombs falling directly onto warships, killing countless people from enemy countries;
Then the enemy country raised a white flag to indicate its willingness to negotiate amicably;
Then, the seven enemy generals who planned to harm Fang Xiyue were turned into idiots;
Finally, the enemy's second-in-command negotiated and returned to retrieve the crystal core.
Commander Wu felt more and more that Fang Xiyue suited his taste. You see, when he was young, he was also a man of action and drive. This Xiyue could be trained to take over his position.
He didn't call Fang Xiyue until the war was over.
Fang Xiyue originally thought she would be scolded, but instead she was praised a lot, and finally she was given a lighthearted remark, "Don't act impulsively."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Xiyue rushed back to bed and went to sleep. She didn't know if the call was a dream or reality.
——
On the morning of September 21, Fang Xiyue had just finished eating the loving breakfast made by Xiao Zihan when Commander Wu called her to an online meeting.
"Today's meeting will focus on how to engage with other countries. I've already heard about the trade in goods that Xiyue discussed with them yesterday from Commander Zhang."
Today we're going to discuss how to let them know that China is not to be trifled with, so that they won't dare to invade so frequently.
Since Commander Wu has raised this question, it proves that he already has an idea, but it still needs to be discussed by everyone.
But Fang Xiyue didn't understand, so she directly expressed her idea: "If they dare to come again, why not just lead our troops to flatten their land once and for all?"
After Fang Xiyue finished speaking, no one in the meeting said a word, because it was obvious that this did not conform to their foreign policy.
Moreover, leading troops to attack would not only result in casualties among Chinese soldiers, but also in the large-scale loss of innocent civilians in those countries, which would not align with their original intentions.
"Well, we'll discuss that later. What we need to talk about today is how to demonstrate our country's strength."
Commander Wu touched his nose; he hadn't expected Fang Xiyue to still be thinking about conquering other people's land.
"Does the commander have any good suggestions?" After all, Division Commander Zhang had followed Commander Wu for many years, and he was very good at reading people's expressions.
"Yes, Commander, please state your thoughts first, then we'll share ours, and we'll discuss which is more suitable," Commander Chu echoed.
The other division commanders also nodded, indicating that they also wanted to hear Commander Wu's ideas.
"Here's what I'm thinking: why don't we restart the sports meet? Of course, instead of the usual events, let's compete in superpowers."
In other words, we will hold a competition to allow people with superpowers from our country to compete against people with superpowers from other countries.
"If our country's superpowered individuals can shine in the superpower competition, wouldn't that show them the strength of our superpowered individuals? It would also let them know how big the gap is between us and our superpowered individuals."
After Commander Wu finished speaking, he waited to see everyone's reaction. He had only put forward a preliminary plan, and whether it would work or not would be decided by a vote.
"If we hold a superpower competition, our superpowered individuals will have to train, which will take up too much of everyone's time to do missions and kill zombies."
"Even if we provide subsidies to those with superpowers during this time, it won't affect them much, but what about the zombies? Are we just going to leave them alone?"
Fang Xiyue didn't really agree with this superpower competition. At this stage, they should be killing zombies instead of training for the sake of the competition.
Of course, the control of superpowered individuals is not yet perfect. Many people can only release their superpowers directly without thinking of other techniques.
Systematic training is not impossible, but it would waste time killing zombies, so it seems unnecessary.
"Of course not. We need to select the superpowered individuals who will participate. We can't let all superpowered individuals participate."
For example, in a single-skill competition, each country can only send 10 people. If there are 10 single-skill competitions, then there will be 100 superhumans participating in the single-skill competitions.
Losing 100 superhumans won't hinder our zombie-killing efforts at all. After all, we have over 400,000 superhumans in total, so it won't slow down our zombie-killing progress.
Commander Wu had already thought of this, so setting the number of personnel low would not cause any delays.
"So who should participate? Level 1 or Level 2 ability users? If it's Level 2 ability users, will other countries recognize them?"
Fang Xiyue still felt it was inappropriate, but after all, she had not been in power before, and she was not as familiar with foreign affairs as Commander Wu and the others. Therefore, even though she did not understand, she respected it.
Besides, the other division commanders didn't object, which means the suggestion is pretty good, right?
"The initial plan is to allow Level 2 ability users to participate, but it is unknown whether other countries will meet the requirements in this regard."
We'll talk to them when they come to trade; if they're unwilling to participate, then the superpower competition can't be held.
If they are willing to participate, then we can discuss the next steps, including the competition events, the timing, and the participants.
Commander Wu must have thought this through carefully, otherwise he wouldn't have answered the question so smoothly.
Fang Xiyue didn't ask any more questions, just to give him face.
Commander Yang of Yuncheng: "I agree. This superpower competition is just like a sports meet; it's necessary to hold it."
Commander Jin of Langcheng: "I agree. Today, I will urge everyone to practice their superpowers while killing zombies, and try to develop more moves."
