Why? Why? The old marshal opened his tired eyes and stared at the strategic map desperately, hoping to find a difference from the dense strategic deployment so that he could know that Leng Yuan still had a strange plan, not really at a loss, but he was soon disappointed.

Leng Yuan’s deployment is very traditional, a very typical garrison formation, without any novelty. It would be a dream to make any strange plans in this traditional formation.

For a moment, the old marshal even became suspicious. Could it be that Leng Yuan was really not talented? The victory in the first stage of the Northern Expedition was purely accidental? After all, in the first stage, Leng Yuan's style of fighting influx really did not require much excellent command from the main general. The main focus was on the adaptability of grassroots officers.

But it shouldn't be! Leng Yuan came from a military family and had been in the army for generations. Her mother Leng Luan was the most brilliant general in the Republic. None of them, she herself studied under the general sect. Not to mention humans, under this influence, even a pig learned something.

But now, Leng Yuan's decision to cross the river really made the old marshal doubt whether this eagle general could only be a charger and could not be a commander who could plan.

Just as the atmosphere became a little depressed, a knock on the door sounded. The old marshal came to his senses, nodded to the guards, and signaled him to open the door.

The door opened, and a man in graceful clothes and extraordinary appearance came in. He looked at the generals in the hall, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and bowed gracefully, saying, "Oh, friends of Republican Qi, I'm sorry to disturb you all and express my sincerest apology to you."

The old marshal narrowed his eyes and said, "Is there anything wrong? Mr. Ambassador."

The visitor was not someone else, but the ambassador sent by the Asia-Pacific War Zone of the Federal Heavy Industry Corps. He knocked his chest with his right hand and bowed slightly to the old marshal. The nobleman was so elegant that he said: "Oh, the respected Marshal of the Republic, the headquarters called me back yesterday. I think it would be impolite to leave without saying goodbye in the traditional Chinese etiquette, so I want to tell you that I will leave this afternoon."

After the ambassador's words, there were more whispers among the generals, and the old marshal's eyes became deeper.

This ambassador was sent by Leng Yuan not long after launching the Northern Expedition. The purpose is very simple, to reconcile and put pressure on it.

For the Federation, the Republic of China and the Northern Rebels were not good at any side. It would be better to restrain each other, and no one could eat each other, and then they kept consuming each other, so they didn't want to see Leng Yuan's northern expedition.

As a result, not long after the ambassador arrived in Chang'an, Leng Yuan's radical strategy won consecutive victories and was unstoppable. Before the ambassador could even sit on the hot side, the middle area of ​​the Yellow River and Yangtze River was taken down.

As a result, the pressure exerted by the Federation began to reach the maximum. Due to the collapse of the economic system in the old era, a currency is now used all over the world. In order to force Leng Yuan to withdraw his troops, the Federation printed money on a large scale, which led to the depreciation of the original coins in the hands of the people and the decline in purchasing power.

It turned out that a pound of rice only costs 10 berg, and the price began to rise after the printing depreciation, becoming 11 berg, and there was even a trend of upward growth. In economic terms, it was "inflation", and it was inflation deliberately manipulated by the federal government.

The federal people can still support this kind of economic pressure because of their strong financial resources, but the poor people of the Republic are different. They are even more frightened by inflation, and those who can still have enough food and clothing are beginning to worry about whether they can fill their stomachs.

Some businessmen who finally made money found that the banknotes in their hands depreciated, and they worked hard for several years and even began to attack banks and cause trouble.

The old marshal knew this in the federal system, but he could not regulate the economic initiative in the world today.

No matter what war is, the attitude of the people is very important. If the people support you, then they will sing all the way. If the people oppose you, then they will be unable to move forward.

The Northern Expedition was supported by the public due to its passionate propaganda, but now everyone saw that the money in the war had depreciated and they couldn't even eat enough. They all turned against each other and demanded that the Republic's Qihui retreat and cease to fight.

Therefore, the old marshal initially suggested that Leng Yuan repair it in place was also under this consideration. Anyway, the large area has been defeated, and the Federation cannot be shameless and let you return it to the rebels. Then defend this territory and start economic recovery and repair. After the people are well fed and well, they will win the hearts of the people and cross Hebei.

Leng Yuan didn't know whether she was eager to defeat the enemy or did not think of this connotation at all. She refused to withdraw her troops or wanted to fight and directly launched the cross-river battle.

If Leng Yuan continues to launch a strong offensive, the federal economic sanctions will be stronger. The ambassador will definitely continue to stay in Chang'an to put pressure. At that time, it will be a comparison of speed. It depends on whether the Republic's Hui cannot withstand the economic pressure first, or the northern rebels cannot withstand the military pressure first.

Now, Leng Yuan's stupid style of fighting that never advances and retreats has suffered heavy casualties, and the recovery of the north is nowhere to be possible. When the Federation saw that the situation had become a loss of two groups of people and horses, and the loss of the Republic was mainly based on the loss of the light of the Republic. He was so happy that he couldn't stop and the ambassadors began to withdraw.

So why is the old marshal depressed? Because Leng Yuan is doing things that his relatives are sad and his enemies are happy. He is not in good condition and has killed the soldiers. The economy is destroyed and the people are suffering.

The staff of the Federal Asia-Pacific War Zone are probably going to wake up laughing in their dreams. It’s thankless! How could the situation be like this!

The old marshal still maintained his due respect on his face, nodded to the ambassador and said, "I will send someone to escort you away. Please convey your greetings to Commander-in-Chief Agronso on my behalf."

"I believe the Commander-in-Chief will be very happy. Dear Grand Marshal, say goodbye." The ambassador gave the farewell gracefully and left with a smile on his face.

As soon as he saw the ambassador's face that was respectful on the surface but actually arrogant and domineering, the old marshal looked at Liu Fusu coldly and said in a deep voice: "General Liu Fusu, who is the general rank under Leng Yuan?"

Liu Fusu didn't have to read the information and replied directly: "Li Shunsheng."

The old marshal said coldly: "Go and tell Li Shunsheng that in a week, the supply of military supplies will be reduced by 30%, and it will be vacant to help the people. Starting from next week, Leng Yuan must stop this stupid cross-river operation, otherwise the supply of military supplies will be reduced by 30% in turn every week!"

As soon as this sentence was released, many people took a breath. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses should go first before they move their food and grass. Due to innate restrictions, the supply of the Republic's Hui to the army was insufficient, and it was very fatal to lose a few percentage points. Now the old marshal cut 30% with one knife, and he would not advance or retreat in a week and cut 30% every week!

Soldiers are all humans, and they will definitely have opinions if they are not full or warm in food. At that time, all their anger will be on Salen Yuan, and there may even be mutiny. This is not a joke. Since ancient times, even if the military camp is in chaos, even if the gods descend to earth, they will not be able to save Leng Yuan's life. This is to directly kill Leng Yuan!

For a moment, the generals began to think about the marshal's psychology, judged the political trend, and prepared to take sides with them.
Chapter completed!
