No matter what, this battle cannot be fought today.
A full five thousand people rushed in and didn't even get out. This was a fatal blow to morale.
"Let them stop the interference. The more harm to the human body, the better."
Lin Hai whispered instructions to his followers.
"Mr. Lin, if we stop the interference now, tomorrow... the other side will be able to order preparations for war first, and we might not be able to launch a surprise attack."
Xia Junao asked, suppressing the pain in his heart.
"It doesn't matter. Even if we keep the jammers on, they'll still be able to get through. Besides, if we keep the jammers on all the time, even humans can handle it, our equipment won't be able to handle it."
After saying that, Lin Hai glanced at Xia Junao, sighed, and whispered, "No matter what, we have to be happy. Come on, smile, and walk out of here happily."
Afterwards, the alliance leaders waiting outside saw the five smiling heads of state. Lin Hai, the leader, nodded to them and said casually, "Thank you for your hard work. That's all for today. Maintain vigilance at the front lines. The subsequent combat plan has been finalized, and we will continue as planned."
After saying that, Lin Hai seemed to have remembered something and said to Xia Junao, "I was too busy this morning and didn't have time to eat breakfast. How about we go eat first?"
Xia Junao immediately responded, "Mr. Lin once said, 'Man is iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat for a meal, you'll be starving.' So, you really can't not eat. Do you want to go with me?"
Before Lin Hai could say anything, the three people behind him said they were also very hungry and asked to go with him...
Just like that, after a massive defeat that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, the first thing the five leaders did was run to the cafeteria...
The five of them sat down in a private room on the third floor of the cafeteria. Lin Hai personally closed the three-layer iron cage of this special room before turning back to the four of them and saying, "Wait a minute, I'll open the curtains. I must let everyone see that the five of us are actually having breakfast. And, well, we need to have a good appetite."
"Are you worried about morale?"
Xia Junao asked.
"Aren't you worried?"
"I have experience with this."
The person who spoke was Chen Xu.
"In fact, we've suffered many defeats over the years. Of course, most of them were at your hands... So I don't think we need to worry too much about morale. The soldiers... well, they're probably used to it."
"You can't say that."
Lin Hai rolled his eyes at Chen Xu and said unhappily, "In the past, with highly mobile troops like cavalry, even if they couldn't win, they could still escape, unless the commander made a mistake. To take out thousands of elite cavalry, you need the right time, place, and people. But today, they lost 2,500 men right before our eyes. A telegram just came in from the eastern front, and the result there is the same as here: one of your cavalry regiments was completely wiped out."
Such losses are uncommon in the annals of warfare. Furthermore, normally, annihilating 5,000 cavalry would have required a tremendous sacrifice, yet in our case, we didn't even get a glimpse of the enemy's face. This kind of defeat can be devastating to morale."
At this point, Lin Hai pulled aside the curtains. Sure enough, quite a few people had gathered outside the cafeteria. Although they all pretended to be there to eat, once they reached the private room where they could see the five heads of state, they stayed put. Instead, they grabbed anyone nearby and pretended to chat with them. But that look kept glancing upwards...
"Come on, keep a positive expression and don't speak too excitedly. We must let them see that we are discussing this calmly."
"Well, Mr. Lin, I know what you mean. There was a story in the past where a general would open the door and sleep soundly to maintain morale."
Wei Mingyuan tried to keep a smile on his round face while asking, "Why don't we try to imitate that? It might work wonders."
To be honest, considering the fat on Wei Mingyuan's face, it may be difficult for him to keep smiling. After all, it is not easy for anyone to support so much fat with the thin muscles on the face.
"Going to sleep after something like this isn't calmness, it's stupidity. If we do something like this, it will really damage morale."
Xin Yuetu said unhappily from the side.
"Forget it, don't argue."
Lin Hai picked up a bun and took a bite. Although he had no appetite at all, in fact, no one would have a big appetite at this time, but Lin Hai knew that the soldiers would not care so much. If the leaders looked so worried that they couldn't even eat, and such news got out to the soldiers...
Although it was really hard to eat after witnessing the deaths of thousands of people, since he was the head of state, there should be something different. After all, the heads of state all claimed to be the son of God. You must know that man is man, and God is God. If God is not man, then the Son of Heaven is not man either.
This sounds like an insult, but it also shows that in the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor and themselves are two completely different species. What they themselves cannot do, the emperor must be able to do. Otherwise, if everyone is the same, why are you the emperor?
"You can talk if you want, but start eating."
Lin Hai forced himself to swallow the food in his mouth, picked up his chopsticks and seemed to be picking at the small dish, while saying:
"Actually, the most important thing is confidence. Everything is difficult at the beginning. This Abyss is indeed a bit difficult to fight, so it will be particularly difficult at the beginning. Don't get discouraged."
"You mean, as long as we hold on for a while, everything will be fine?"
