Chapter 360: Mentally Ill
Another thirteen balls of brilliant flames appeared in the sky.
Everyone was very happy, as this was the satisfaction of human curiosity.
Except for the experts from the Qin Group, everyone's faces were gloomy. The fourth-generation fighter jets that they were so proud of were completely wiped out.
Fifty fighter jets are enough to form an aviation combat group.
"What kind of missile is this?"
A military expert asked a soul-searching question.
No one spoke, as they had the same question in their minds as he did.
The initial velocity is not fast, but the acceleration is so fast. The tracking system is so excellent that it is not afraid of jamming bombs or sudden changes in direction. It is terrifyingly accurate.
What’s even more terrifying is that through optical instruments, the missile’s entity cannot be seen, only a ball of fire.
Soon, the radar report back came out.
Unable to detect.
Neither ground radar nor air radar detected the target, only thermal imaging radar did.
Everyone looked at Mr. Fei.
In their minds, only the genius Mr. Fei could answer it.
Fermi pondered for a moment, then spoke as expected.
"It's likely a smaller missile. The outer flames are the thermal effects of its acceleration. Judging by the explosion, the missile's power is very weak, but its tracking system is extremely advanced. It always hits the main body of the fighter, which in turn detonates the fuel tank or ammunition compartment, causing the actual explosion."
“A very sophisticated design, a very advanced concept.”
Fermi concluded.
"There must be an advanced military research institute or military-industrial complex behind Changshan County."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and a military expert asked, "Who could it be?"
Fermi was silent for a while, then said, "I think it might be the First Research Institute of the Empire."
"Chief Scientist Heidamo is one of the few geniuses who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me."
——
Shenjing.
First Research Institute.
Chief Scientist Hai Damer looked at the footage sent back by the Royal Guards and asked in surprise, "Changshan County again?"
The assistant replied, "Yes, mentor."
Hai Damo sighed, "Why are there so many things in Changshan County?"
He had seen the bomb in Changshan County during the last joint meeting and was deeply impressed.
He had always wanted to visit Changshan County, but unfortunately he was busy with affairs and the outbreak of the imperial war, so he had no time.
"No, no matter how busy I am, I must find a way to go to Changshan County."
Hai Daming secretly made up his mind.
——
Emperor's Tower.
Top floor.
Li Longxing, who was discussing the silver bill with members of Congress and senior officials of the National Government Department, suddenly received a report.
"Changshan County's missiles destroyed twenty-five fourth-generation fighter jets?"
"Where did he get the missiles?"
These die-hard members of the imperial faction all turned their eyes to His Majesty the Emperor.
Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of "Your Majesty, stop pretending."
Li Longxing didn't notice it either. He waved his hand and said, "Quick, take over the battle footage."
——
Taiming Palace.
“Sister, sister!”
An innocent voice cried out as she ran over, and a delicate little girl threw herself into the arms of the first princess.
But her elder sister, who had always doted on her, did not look at her, but stared at the images transmitted from Shizhou thousands of miles away.
This scene also took place in important locations such as the Winter Palace, the headquarters, and the military-industrial group.
Originally, these senior officials were not planning to watch it.
This war will inevitably end with Shizhou winning and Changshan County escaping, it just depends on how the battle goes.
If Changshan County's missiles had not shot down the fourth-generation aircraft, they would only wait until the war was over to take a look at the comments written by professional military experts.
But now, some people have become interested in Changshan County.
——
Twenty-five rounds of [Flame Technique] consumed 3% of the soul and 750 points of spiritual energy.
All of a sudden, there were only 1060 points of spiritual energy left.
Wow, it’s used up so quickly.
This is too weak and will be used up in a short while.
Lin Wen was not very satisfied.
After he finished shooting down the plane, he jumped off the roof, dealt with some things, and then went to find Qin Luoshuang and others who were in charge of the central army.
Fang Dashan jumped up when he saw him: "Chief Lin! You guys in the Dragon Group are so strong!"
Wang Zhengwu and He Shangsheng were both extremely excited.
"Brother Lin, I have never met anyone more reliable than you."
"That's right! The Chief of Staff made a phone call, and within two minutes, your men were here. They shot down all the enemy planes in two strikes. That's awesome!"
Only Qin Luoshuang found it hard to accept: "Where did you come from? What kind of missile is that? There's no launcher. Is it a portable launch system? Isn't this performance a bit too strong?"
Lin Wen casually said, "That's a portable Dongfeng-31 ballistic missile, designed to shoot down aircraft. It's the latest weapon developed by the Empire."
"Another Winter Wind series?"
Qin Luoshuang felt that the world seemed to have become chaotic and strange, and it was no longer the world she understood.
"Didn't you say the Dongfeng-21 is a single-person carrier rocket? It could be used to shoot down fighter jets by changing the model?"
Lin Wen said: "Different models naturally have different functions. The Dongfeng-41 is also an aircraft carrier killer."
Qin Luoshuang felt that her cognitive structure was collapsing. Aircraft carriers are recognized as weapons for decisive battles at sea.
It is a consensus that whoever has more aircraft carriers has a stronger navy.
No one dares to call themselves an aircraft carrier killer.
Just as he was about to ask again, Lin Wen became impatient and interrupted, "What are your plans now?"
Fang Dashan said excitedly: "During the air raid, we evacuated most of the ships to the port of Yunzhou. Now that there is no threat, we can bring the ships in and retreat immediately."
"retreat?"
Lin Wen was not very happy.
"Where can we retreat to? Changshan County is right behind us. We have nowhere to retreat."
Fang Dashan wanted to say that there was a river behind us, but then he heard Lin Wen say, "Hold on to the inner city. If the enemy shows any signs of disintegration, pursue them immediately."
Just like before, no one understood County Chief Lin’s strategies and tactics, but that did not stop them from following County Chief Lin’s orders.
But the difference this time was that Qin Luoshuang didn't fiercely oppose it. She seemed to have sensed something and asked cautiously, "Are your troops outside planning to circle back and attack their rear?"
A strong feeling of joy suddenly surged into my heart.
Lin Wen was really happy this time, because this was the answer he had just spent 20% of his soul to get.
And Feng Chu actually guessed the answer directly.
Doesn't this mean that from now on, all problems below 20% of the soul can be handed over to Feng Chu to solve?
Lin Wen was very happy when he thought of this possibility.
He is in dire need of his spiritual energy now, it is totally insufficient, and he has to rely on a few bits of "luck" to support him.
He almost got into trouble because of his bad luck.
There isn't much spiritual energy left, and once it's used up it's gone. He can't possibly go back and get a curse, right?
If that happened, he would first have to deal with the cause that could destroy the world twice in three days, and then obtain the blue star of destiny twice in a row.
Then, he strengthened [Without a Colorful Phoenix] twice in a row, and then he assumed that he went to travel to the world of immortal cultivation and was caught again.
This is undoubtedly beyond words.
Moreover, special spells such as [Asking the Way to Heaven] can only be cast using the primordial spirit.
Therefore, in the end, we still have to rely on the soul.
And if Fengchu reaches a level that can solve 20% of the problems of the Yuanshen, wouldn’t that be equivalent to saving a lot of Yuanshen?
Is it equivalent to creating a lot of good karma?
It’s not easy at all. After nurturing the Phoenix Chick until now, it finally shows signs of emerging.
Lin Wen's eyes lit up, and he said softly, "Tell me what you think."
Qin Luoshuang was a little surprised by Lin Wen's reaction, but she still said, "The fact that the Governor of Shizhou has gathered all his forces to attack Jiangkou City proves that you must have deceived him and hidden your troops in the rear. You also directly assumed that the enemy army would collapse, which means you must be trying to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the enemy's rear."
Lin Wen was very happy: "Yeah, what else?"
Qin Luoshuang felt a little more confident and said, "That's too naive. The Governor of Shizhou is not mentally retarded. He left three armies to defend the rear. Your plan is not feasible. It's better to follow my advice and retreat. In the overall situation, this is also the safest."
Lin Wen was very pleased: "Not bad, not bad."
He reached out to touch Qin Luoshuang's head, but she slapped him down.
Seeing Qin Luoshuang glaring at him, everyone looked like they wanted to laugh but couldn't. Lin Wen coughed and said, "It's great that you thought of this. It seems you've learned a little from my vast wisdom."
Qin Luoshuang said angrily: "What do you mean?"
“It’s pretty correct overall.”
Lin Wen smiled slightly:
"But there's one thing you're saying wrong. The Governor of Shizhou is mentally retarded. You can't use your own thinking to estimate the thoughts of a mentally retarded person. That would be biased."
Qin Luoshuang's cheeks were obviously puffed up, and her face was full of dissatisfaction.
Everyone in the command center was reduced to mere spectators, watching the fight between gods with a confused attitude.
Lin Wen said, "In order to prevent non-directed military leaders from stealing the credit, he placed the troops of Yu Bozheng, Xie Qizhen, and Guan Jurang in the rear to defend the weak flank."
"These three military leaders originally from the West District have become disloyal to the Governor of Shizhou. I can incite them to revolt."
He turned his head and looked at Fu Yixiu, who had been persuaded to defect, and said with a smile: "Commander Fu, don't you agree?"
Fu Yixiu nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, you are absolutely right, I will contact my father-in-law right away."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."
Fu Yixiu smiled broadly, feeling that he was finally one step closer to the core of the Imperial Faction.
Qin Luoshuang finally reacted at this time: "You, you plan to contact Number One, Number One..."
She forced herself to shut her mouth. Her sensitivity made her think it would be harmful to expose Lin Wen's secrets here.
But there was a complicated look in her sparkling starry eyes, although she firmly believed that Lin Wen had no relationship with the First Princess.
But Xia Xiaoxiang disagreed.
Lin Wen also said that they had no relationship, but Lin Wen lied to her too many times, and she had formed the impression that "Lin Wen's mouth is a liar."
The key is that he didn't lie carefully, and sometimes he was talking complete nonsense, which made Qin Luoshuang, who was used to dealing with carefully woven lies, very uncomfortable.
As my thoughts drifted, Lin Wen and Fu Yixiu had already left.
Fang Dashan waited for a while before carefully asking, "Old Wang, what should we do now?"
Wang Zhengwu patted him on the back and whispered, "Brother Fang, Miss Qin is caught up in a love-hate relationship with County Magistrate Lin. Didn't you see it coming? That 'first' thing, right..."
"Cough cough!" He Shangsheng interrupted them with a loud cough.
Qin Luoshuang seemed not to hear it and began to rearrange the battle plan and assign combat tasks.
——
As soon as Lin Wen left, he flew back to Xiji County with a [Flying on the Clouds], said something to Xu Jieying and others, and led his troops straight to the rear base camp in Shizhou.
The armies of Yu Bozheng, Xie Qizhen, and Guan Jurang were stationed there to protect the safety of transportation and logistics, and to guard Hailin City to prevent it from being attacked again.
At this moment, the three military leaders were not in their own troops, but gathered together.
Yu Bozheng said, "You two, there's no need to elaborate. His Highness called me personally, hoping I would switch sides."
Xie Qizhen snorted, "Her Highness also beat me personally, and she also promised to give my son a Yuntai token."
Guan Jurang hurriedly said, "Please stop arguing, the current situation is, should we turn against them?"
The three of them fell silent.
After a moment, Yu Bozheng said, "How about this? I'll list our current situation and the possible situations after the betrayal. Let's consider it and see if it's profitable."
They both nodded together: "Okay."
"First of all, we are completely a thorn in Gu Xuanli's side here. We are restricted and bullied everywhere. The difference in treatment we receive is like the difference between a biological son and a wild boy."
Yu Bozheng nodded and continued, "Secondly, even if we completely side with Gu Xuanli, it will be useless. We can't compare to his legitimate son."
Everyone nodded.
"Third, this is a covert war. We don't call it treason, we call it switching sides. County Magistrate Lin has military power and theoretically can command the army commander. There's no legal problem."
"Fourth, Changshan County was in dire straits. We went there to help when the situation was most pressing. Gu Xuanli thought he would definitely win, so even if we told him directly, our contribution would be insignificant."
"Fifth, Changshan County is small and has a small army. If we go there, we will be the main force and we will be like our own sons."
"Sixth, we can get out of this quagmire and no longer be pawns in the empire's internal strife. Fu Yixiu took the lead and I wonder how well he is doing now."
"As for the last point, there's no need to explain it. We'll all be colleagues of the Imperial Faction from now on, and we'll also have the Princess' friendship. If that kid catches the Princess's eye, it's not impossible for him to rise to prominence overnight."
Once the pros and cons are clear, the matter becomes very clear.
Still a little worried, Xie Qizhen asked, "Can we win?"
Yu Bozheng smiled and said, "County Governor Lin is a master of military strategy, a true genius of his time. Gu Xuanli may have a large army, but his direct lineage only numbers 400,000. We have 180,000 troops, and Changshan Commandery has another 240,000. The odds of victory or defeat are at least 50-50."
"We will pretend to reinforce the front lines and then launch a counterattack. Changshan County will seize the opportunity to break out from the inside and will surely win a great victory."
"good!"
"It's a deal!"
“We will win!”
Three hands were clasped together tightly.
There will be no third update today... I need to take a break
