"Well, we must let the old and the young go. This is what Lu Ping and I have discussed."
"But all the other Annanites must die."
Zhao Lei said fiercely.
Hearing Zhao Lei's decisive tone, the others stopped arguing.
"In that case, let's do it this way."
"Let's split up and prepare for action."
The Chief of Staff spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement and then stood up and left.
In a blink of an eye, only Zhao Lei and two others were left in the conference room.
One of these two people is Zhao Lei’s deputy commander, Zhang Kai.
The other is Zhao Lei’s daughter, Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yuguang is in his early twenties, has a sweet and innocent appearance, and works as Zhao Lei's secretary.
"Commander, do we have a chance of winning against the Annan people this time?"
Zhang Kai looked at Zhao Lei and said with some concern.
"The outcome is still unknown, but this is our only option."
"We can't wait any longer, otherwise we won't even have a chance to turn the situation around."
"Let's take this opportunity to try our best."
"I've already sent someone to investigate Lu Ping, and he does have the ability and strength."
Zhao Lei said solemnly.
Hearing this, Zhang Kai stopped trying to comfort her.
He also understood that this was the best opportunity.
If you don't take a gamble, you will never have a chance to turn things around.
There are less than 300,000 Qing people in Pingxiang City, while there are more than one million in Annan.
It is easy to imagine what the consequences will be if this continues.
"Father, once a war breaks out, even if we try our best to avoid it, there will inevitably be casualties among those young and old. Is this a good idea?"
Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Yu'er, remember, this is not a peaceful time, not a time for mercy."
"Protecting our compatriots from the hands of the Annanites is more important than anything else."
Zhao Lei said seriously.
"Oh, I see."
Zhao Yu nodded, sighed inwardly, and then fell silent.
She also understood that what her father said was right: being kind to the enemy would be cruel to oneself.
"Okay, now that this matter has been decided, let's not discuss it anymore."
"Lao Zhang, make a battle plan immediately."
Zhao Lei waved his hand.
"good!"
Zhang Kai responded.
..........
On the other side, Lu Ping rested until noon before getting up.
After waking up, everyone felt refreshed and all their fatigue was gone.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Lu Ping had just finished washing up when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Lu Ping said in a deep voice.
"Hello everyone, I am Wang Tao, Commander Zhao's adjutant. Commander Zhao invites you all to come downstairs for dinner."
The door opened and a young officer walked in, smiling.
"Okay, please lead the way."
Lu Ping nodded.
Afterwards, Lu Ping and others went to the restaurant on the second floor.
When I got here, Zhao Lei was already waiting for me.
In addition to Zhao Lei, there were several people standing beside him, all of whom were senior military officers.
The most eye-catching one among them was a young and beautiful woman, who was holding Zhao Lei's arm at the moment.
"Commander Lu!"
Seeing Lu Ping coming, Zhao Lei hurried forward and shook hands cordially.
"Commander Zhao."
Lu Ping also shook hands politely.
"Commander Lu, let me introduce you."
"This is my deputy commander and my good friend—Zhang Kai."
“This is our Chief of Staff Li Gang.”
"This is my daughter, Zhao Yu."
After a few pleasantries, Zhao Lei introduced the people around him to Lu Ping.
Lu Ping shook hands with Zhang Kai, Sun Gang and others one by one, and then introduced Xia Mo and others to them.
After the introduction, both parties took their seats.
"Thank you, Brother Lu, for your generous help, which has given us the opportunity to recover our homeland."
The food and wine were served, and Zhao Lei picked up the wine glass and said.
"Commander Zhao, you're too polite. This is all as we should expect."
"Come, let's drink this glass of wine together."
Lu Ping said with a smile, then drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Lei and others also raised their glasses and drank together.
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere gradually became lively and everyone spoke freely.
Lu Ping also took this opportunity to reveal his battle plan to everyone.
"Commander Lu, based on what you just said, are you planning to capture the leader first? Taking action against the Annan leaders in advance?"
After listening to Lu Ping's narration, Zhao Lei was shocked.
This means that Lu Ping has to sneak into the Annan-controlled area, which is extremely dangerous.
"Well, that's what I planned. This way, the Annan people will be leaderless."
"It's just that I don't know the exact location of Annan's top brass, so I need Commander Zhao's help."
Lu Ping affirmed.
"Commander Lu, we certainly know the location of Annan's top brass. That's not a problem."
"But you sneaked in alone, aren't you afraid of danger?"
Zhao Lei was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, Commander Zhao. I know what's going on."
"You just have to make sure that after I make my move, you seize the right moment to launch your attack."
Lu Ping affirmed.
"Well, well then, everything depends on Commander Lu."
"Most of the Annan leaders live in the Yuyuan villa area in the city center, right next to the military camp."
Since Lu Ping was so determined, Zhao Lei stopped trying to persuade him.
"Yuyuan Villa District?"
"Yes, it's the Yuyuan Villa District. It's the most upscale residential area in Pingxiang, and they later occupied it."
"Don't worry, Commander Lu. I will send someone to lead the way for you."
Zhao Lei then said
"Okay, that's troublesome."
"But I need to send a few more people, because I plan to act in several directions."
