Chapter 450: Wanting Young and Strong People to Go to the Battlefield
450
The Third Elder, Huang Zhiping, paced back and forth in the room, his steps anxious, his eyes full of excitement. Hearing the Fifth Elder's question, he suddenly stopped, glanced at everyone, and said excitedly:
"We didn't dare before, but now we have the goddess's blessing. This is a godsend opportunity! Why not organize the young and strong people in our county to fight the US military? We can also avenge the people who have been persecuted by the US military."
The fifth elder's eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief, "A Ping, what nonsense are you talking about? We ordinary people rarely even touch a gun on a daily basis. How can we fight against those well-equipped American troops?
Are we supposed to use our fists to block bullets and our bodies to withstand shells?" He slammed the table in anger, shaking the teacups on it.
The county magistrate frowned, his face filled with worry. He sighed and said, "The Fifth Elder is right. We only have so little money and a few broken guns. If a real firefight breaks out, I'm afraid we'll just die in vain. Then the years of peace in Shanhe County will be completely destroyed. And the goddess won't help us, so how can we have any chance of winning?"
The county magistrate felt a surge of regret. If they had known the US military would behave this way, they wouldn't have wavered between the Chinese and US forces, nor would they have to make such a difficult choice now. However, he hoped they still had a chance to save themselves. The county magistrate's gaze turned towards the goddess' courtyard.
Fourth Elder Chong Shanghui remained silent, but he shook his head slightly, clearly disapproving of the Third Elder's proposal. If the US military weren't so overbearing, he would still be willing...
The Third Elder remained calm, a mysterious smile on his face. He glanced around at the people in the room and lowered his voice, saying, "You only know one side of the story. The goddess doesn't want to be tainted by the karma of killing, but what if there's another way?"
Several people were startled and turned their gazes to the Third Elder, their eyes full of confusion. The County Chief couldn't help but ask, "A Ping, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep us in suspense."
The Third Elder cleared his throat and said solemnly, "We all know that the Goddess has great power and immense influence. Then, let's ask the Goddess to lead the charge from behind the scenes! How about the young and strong men in our county carry out the specific actions?"
In this way, the goddess won't be directly involved in the battle, so she won't be affected by karma. And with the goddess's strategic assistance, won't our chances of winning be much greater?"
The room fell into a brief silence. Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their eyes gradually brightened. The Fifth Elder slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing, "That's right! Why didn't I think of that? The Goddess is so powerful. If she could just give us a little guidance, we'd have a very good chance of winning against the US military!"
The county magistrate also fell into deep thought, his fingers tapping on his knees. After a while, he slowly nodded: "This method is feasible. But is the goddess willing to help us? After all, she clearly refused before."
The Third Elder smiled confidently, "The Goddess is compassionate. We are here to protect our homeland and the safety of our people. As long as we truly believe in the Goddess and explain the seriousness of the matter to her, she might agree."
Moreover, the goddess has come down to the mortal world this time to search for a guardian. With only the goddess and the two guardians beside her, the search must be very difficult. If we work together to help the goddess find a guardian, the goddess will probably consider our kindness a little."
Fourth Elder Chong Shanghui finally spoke, his tone hesitant: "Can it really work? This is no small matter. If it fails, then our Shanhe County will be..."
The third elder waved his hand and said, "A Yuan, you can't be so hesitant about everything. If the goddess doesn't help us, and we give in this time, the US military will take another step forward. If this continues, Shanhe County will be finished sooner or later.
Instead of that, we should fight the US military."
The more they listened, the more excited they became. Their worries were gradually replaced by a burning desire. The county magistrate stood up, his eyes determined. "Alright! If that's the case, let's give it a try. Even if we fail, it's better than waiting here to be slaughtered by the American army!"
At this moment, in the house next door, Tang Yue listened to all this quietly with her mind, a faint smile on her lips. She knew that a battle, secretly led by her, was about to begin.
Hearing their footsteps approaching, Tang Yue regained consciousness, sat up slightly, and regained her composure. Soon, hurried footsteps could be heard. The county magistrate and several elders hurried into the courtyard, their faces filled with anxiety.
As soon as they entered the room, everyone knelt in unison. The county magistrate's voice was filled with tears as he looked up at Tang Yue, his eyes full of hope: "Goddess! Shanhe County is in danger now. The people are suffering. The US military is bullying them wantonly, and Agui is aiding and abetting them.
"I know this has nothing to do with you, Goddess, but we simply don't have the ability to fight the US military right now. We've just come up with a plan and would like to ask for your help. Without your help, we wouldn't have the guts to fight the US military! I hope you will show mercy and save the people of Shanhe County!"
After the county magistrate finished speaking, everyone kowtowed to Tang Yue. Tang Yue's spiritual power moved slightly, and everyone could no longer kowtow.
Tang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, a thoughtful expression on her face, and she remained silent for a long time. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. No one dared to breathe, just staring at her eagerly.
Finally, Tang Yue sighed softly and spoke slowly: "Forget it. Since this goddess has descended to the mortal world, I cannot bear to see the people suffer. This time, I will lend you a helping hand, but remember, all this is the goddess's help. You must bear the consequences yourself and must not implicate me."
"Yes! Yes! The goddess's kindness is so great, we will never forget it!" Everyone kowtowed excitedly. Before the joy on their faces could fully bloom, a young man rushed in in a panic, shouting, "County Magistrate! It's bad! Something's happened in the county again! Five more girls who were previously abducted by Agui are missing!"
The county magistrate's face instantly became distorted. Just as he was about to stand up to check the situation, his knees went weak and he almost fell to the ground again.
His voice trembled: "How could this happen? Didn't we increase security?" Then he hurried away with the elders, and there was chaos outside the courtyard.
After they left, Tang Yue's expression turned cold as she looked at Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing. Although they didn't understand what they were saying, judging by their expressions, it was definitely related to the US military.
"Captain, something happened again?"
"Well, the American army took away five more of the girls I found last time. This time they were clearly deliberately provoking me."
Zhang Dabing clenched his fists and shouted angrily, "Company Commander, these American soldiers are really too arrogant!"
Tang Yue nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "They clearly came prepared this time. With their continuous provocations, it seems they don't want to give up. They want to completely control Shanhe County.
Shanhe County should be a key point for our southward advance. Although our main focus is on finding people, we cannot just stand by and watch the US military act so arrogantly."
Sun Jinan: "Company Commander, do you have any good ideas?"
Tang Yue glanced at the two of them. "They were just discussing next door, wanting to use the young and strong men in their county to fight against the American army. They have 2,500 young and strong men. Do you think it would be a great help if we could use them well?"
Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing's eyes lit up, but then they thought, "Company Commander, these people are untrained. Is it okay to let them go directly against the US troops?"
"It's no big deal. First, gather all the young and strong men for some simple training to familiarize them with basic combat techniques. Sun Jinan will take care of this.
You will select some of the smartest ones to be responsible for conveying the goddess's instructions during the battle. The rest of the matters will be handled on the battlefield."
Zhang Dabing pondered, "Captain, what about their weapons? They have nothing in their hands. They can't just rely on their physical strength to withstand it, right?"
Tang Yue gave him an idiot look, took out a pen and paper from the space, and wrote on the paper quickly. "When we came here, did you see a chemical plant not far from here?
Have the county chief take some people over there and bring back everything. I'll teach them how to make some basic homemade guns and hand grenades."
While speaking, Tang Yue had already drawn the pictures and written down the steps to make these two things step by step.
Zhang Dabing......
Sun Jinan......
How young is the company commander? How can he know everything?
They didn't know that Tang Yue had already taught herself high school physics and chemistry. Those things kept spinning in her head, but she never had the time to experiment. Could she really say that she had always wanted to put the knowledge in the books to the test?
