Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 321 Su Yi's Anger
In the basement under the ruins of the Ministry of National Defense building, Chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense Zhou Botao and Deputy Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling sat at the wine table. Because of the previous episode, the expressions of both of them seemed a little unnatural.

In addition to Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling, the observation team also had an air force lieutenant general from the Ministry of National Defense sitting at the main table. This lieutenant general was named Sun Peng, and he was one of the few in the Daqin military that did not belong to the thirteen factions. generals.

Sun Peng is also the first generation pilot of the Daqin Air Force. Although he is only in his 40s this year, he is considered a senior figure in the Daqin Air Force. This time Sun Peng volunteered to join the observation team that came to Yueyang City. Get the technology of individual air defense missiles in Su Yi's hands.

In Sun Peng's view, if this individual air defense missile can be placed on the Daqin Air Force's fighter jets, then the Daqin Air Force will not be beaten helplessly when facing the Ice Lion Air Force.

Seeing the awkward expressions on Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling's faces, Sun Peng first raised his wine glass and said to Su Yi: "Commander Su, on behalf of the Daqin Air Force, I, Sun Peng, thank you for the air defense force under your command and avenged the brothers who died in our air force. , Destroyed more than [-] fighter planes of the Ice Lion Air Force in Yueyang City. To be honest, the total number of Ice Lion fighter planes destroyed by our Great Qin Air Force since the start of the war is less than one-tenth of the record of your air defense force , but our Daqin Air Force has lost more than a thousand fighter planes and hundreds of excellent pilots."

In fact, the size of the Daqin Air Force is not small. Before the Ice Lion Army invaded, it had more than 1000 fighters. However, the performance of most of these 1000 fighters is somewhat backward. Compared with the several models equipped by the Ice Lion Air Force Fighters, it can be said that they are not an opponent of the same level.

In addition, at the beginning of the war, the Ice Lion Air Force adopted a surprise attack and blew up more than 400 Daqin Air Force fighter planes on the apron of the airport. Therefore, since the war began, the Daqin Air Force was almost destroyed by the Ice Lion Air Force. The air force of the United States pressed it to the ground and rubbed it.

In the many air battles between the Daqin Air Force and the Ice Lion Air Force, the Daqin Air Force only shot down less than [-] fighters of the opponent, but the loss of the Daqin Air Force was more than [-] times that of the opponent.

After Sun Peng finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then lit the empty glass to Su Yi.

Besides Su Yi himself, Sun Guodong, Deputy Commander of City Defense, Zhou Jianmin, Temporary Commander of the First Army, Wu Youliang, Temporary Commander of the Second Army, and Qian Rongli, Temporary Commander of the Third Army, also sat at the main table. to accompany.

After Sun Peng drank a glass of wine, Zhou Jianmin, the temporary commander of the First Army, immediately raised his glass, "General Sun, our commander is too strong to drink. I will drink this glass for the commander!"

After Zhou Jianmin finished speaking, he drank a glass of white wine of about three taels in one gulp.

At this moment, Su Yi picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "General Sun, I really can't drink, but since General Sun is toasting, I'm embarrassed if I don't drink at all, I'll take a big sip with me! At the same time, welcome Zhou The Chief of Staff and Minister Zhao came to Yueyang City to guide the work."

After Su Yi took a sip of the white wine, the atmosphere on the wine table eased up a lot. Zhou Botao, Chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense, and Zhao Zeling, Deputy Minister of National Defense also picked up their glasses and took a big sip of the white wine.

Zhou Botao put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "Don't worry, General Su. After dinner, Minister Zhao and I will send a telegram to Minister Liu Fuchen. There must be no problem in granting General Su the title of Army General."

Su Yi took a bite of food with his chopsticks, and then said with a slight smile: "Chief of Staff Zhou, as I said just now, I don't care about the rank of general in the army. How will I deal with the next attack by the Ice Lion Army? That’s what I’m most concerned about.”

Su Yi put this dish in his mouth, swallowed it, and then said: "Yueyang City is the capital of our Great Qin Kingdom, and it is also the place where the Ice Lion Army returned home for the first time. It can be said that the Ice Lion Army There will definitely be a second attack on Yueyang City. We must build Yueyang City into a real military fortress before the Ice Lion Army launches a second attack on Yueyang City. As long as we can defend Yueyang City, our Great Qin Kingdom Maybe there will be a chance to turn defeat into victory.”

Deputy Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling said immediately: "The Ministry of National Defense is considering the importance of guarding Yueyang City, so it mobilized more than a dozen armies, with a total of about 46 army troops, to go to Yueyang City. I don't know if General Su Why reject the troops of these dozen armies?"

Before Su Yi opened his mouth, Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of Yueyang City's urban defense, said in a loud voice: "Chief of General Staff Zhou, Minister Zhao, we temporarily organize the first army, the second army and the third army. The combat method is different from other units of our Great Qin Army. Once the troops of the dozen or so armies enter Yueyang City, it is likely to affect the defense plan formulated by our Yueyang City Defense Command. Entering Yueyang City will definitely bring more pressure to the logistics."

After a pause, Sun Guodong continued: "Of course, if the Ministry of National Defense wants to transfer our Temporary First Army, Temporary Second Army, and Temporary Third Army out of Yueyang City, and let the troops of the dozen or so armies take over Yueyang City, Our three temporary armies are willing to withdraw from Yueyang City immediately."

Sun Guodong's words made Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling's brows slightly frowned. No matter what the Ministry of National Defense has planned for Su Yi and the three temporary armies under Su Yi's command, the premise is that the temporary first army, the temporary second army and the temporary The third army must continue to stay in Yueyang City to resist the second attack of the Ice Lion Army on Yueyang City.

Without these three temporary armies, it would be impossible to defend Yueyang City, and once Yueyang City fell, there would be a series of chain reactions that would be detrimental to Great Qin, and Great Qin would be one step closer to subjugation.

Zhou Botao pondered for a while and said to Su Yi: "General Su, our Ministry of National Defense has no intention of letting the Temporary First Army, Temporary Second Army, and Temporary Third Army withdraw from Yueyang City. Supporting Yueyang City is also to further strengthen the troops of Yueyang City. According to the information obtained from the intelligence department of our Great Qin Kingdom, the country of Ice Lion is recruiting a large number of reserve personnel to prepare for the defense of Yueyang City in the first battle. In addition, the ice lion country seems to be preparing to mobilize some guard mechanized infantry divisions and garrison infantry divisions from the country to enter our Daqin country. These troops from the ice lion country are likely to join the second This is the battle to attack Yueyang City."

Su Yi said with a smile: "Chief of General Staff Zhou, the provisional first army, the temporary second army and the temporary third army are in the process of a new round of military expansion plan. Wait for the three temporary armies to complete this round. For the reorganization, each temporary army will have 55 people under its jurisdiction. If you count the troops directly under the City Defense Command, the total strength of our Yueyang City defenders will be close to 170 million. Therefore, the dozen or so armies gathered by the Ministry of National Defense, Or send it to other battlefields!"

Su Yi's words made Zhou Botao, Zhao Zeling and Sun Peng sitting at the main table dumbfounded. Zhao Zeling even dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground.

"Su... General Su, did I hear you right? Each temporary army has 55 troops, and the entire defenders of Yueyang City will have a total strength of 170 million?" Zhou Botao asked incredulously.

Su Yi said calmly: "Chief of Staff Zhou, it should be less than 170 million, and it will be a little more than 1609 million!"

Zhao Zeling then asked in shock: "General Su, as far as I know, when the Ice Lion Army retreated, there were only 40 troops left. People? General Su recruited so many recruits at once, won’t it affect the combat effectiveness of the troops?”

Su Yi shrugged his shoulders and said: "I have no choice. After all, the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom is worth millions. If I don't recruit more recruits, I have no confidence at all that I can stop the second attack of the Ice Lion Army on Yueyang City. In Yuhong County, Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County, and Huining County, recruit as many recruits as possible. By the way, after the new round of reorganization of the three temporary armies, they are all overstaffed. The Ministry of National Defense is considerate, after all, it is during the war, and in order to resist the Ice Lion Army, I don't care so much."

Zhou Botao secretly complained in his heart: This is not a little overstaffed, it has been overstaffed to an unbelievable level. You must know that according to the establishment of the Great Qin Army, when each army is full-staffed, its strength is about 5, while Su Yi There are 55 people in a temporary army under his command, which is equivalent to eleven armies of the Great Qin Army, which is too exaggerated.

Zhou Botao coughed slightly and asked Su Yi: "I don't know how General Su can solve the problem of weapons and equipment for more than 100 million recruits?"

Before Su Yi could speak, Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of the city defense, said first: "Chief of Staff Zhou, we captured a large number of weapons and equipment from the Ice Lion Army during the street battles in Yueyang City, so we dared to recruit more than 100 million recruits in one go. , ready to expand the total strength of our Yueyang City defenders to nearly 170 million."

In fact, the three temporary armies under Su Yi's command and the troops directly under the City Defense Command, in this reorganization process, are still equipped with weapons and equipment from the world of the Tang Empire and the Han Kingdom. A cover-up for the source of the weapon in Su Yi's hand.

Zhou Botao seemed to want to ask about the source of the weapons and equipment in Su Yi's hands, but Su Yi changed the subject, "Chief of General Staff Zhou, Minister Zhao, I, Su Yi, are willing to defend Yueyang City for the second time." Lead the temporary first army, the temporary second army and the temporary third army to continue to defend Yueyang City, vowing to resist the army of the ice lion country to the death, but I hope to get some support from the Ministry of National Defense."

Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling glanced at each other, and then Zhao Zeling asked: "General Su, I wonder what aspects you need the support of the Ministry of Defense?"

"First of all, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, it also indicates the determination of our Yueyang City defenders to live and die with Yueyang City. I hope that the Ministry of National Defense can send the family members of the generals under my command to escort them to Yueyang City. For the family of Commander Rongli, I hope Minister Liu Fuchen can send someone to escort them to Yueyang City as soon as possible, this is very important to our defenders of Yueyang City!"

Both Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling understood what Su Yi's request was for. Zhou Botao hesitated and said, "General Su, in fact, the families of the officers under your command stay in the rear, so that they don't have to worry about the safety of their families, so they can be better... "

Before Zhou Botao could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Su Yi, "Chief of Staff Zhou, everyone knows the reason why I did this, and the Ministry of National Defense must do this, otherwise I, Su Yi, will lead troops in Yueyang City fought bloody battles with the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom, but someone behind me pulled me back and plotted against my army, how can I, Su Yi, fight against the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom with peace of mind!"

Then Su Yi said firmly: "If the Ministry of National Defense can't do this, I will lead the three temporary armies under my command to withdraw from Yueyang City in the near future. As for the second defense of Yueyang City, I can only rely on the Ministry of National Defense Send other troops to defend the city."

Both Zhou Botao and Zhao Zeling's expressions changed slightly. The threat in Su Yi's words was obvious, and he actually used leading troops to leave Yueyang City as a bargaining chip to threaten the Ministry of National Defense.

Zhao Zeling's tone became colder and said: "General Su, what do you mean by these words? You must know that even the temporary formation of the first army, the temporary formation of the second army, and the temporary formation of the third army are also part of the order of our Great Qin Army!"

Su Yi put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Minister Zhao, we are all sensible people here, so you don't have to ask questions knowingly, anyway, the Ministry of National Defense will not send the family members of the generals under my command to Yueyang City, so I will lead the three temporary staff members under my command. If the army leaves, whoever wants to defend Yueyang City will come to defend it!"

Su Yi's anger immediately made Zhao Zeling want to shoot the case, but Zhao Zeling knew that he couldn't get angry at this time, so Zhao Zeling picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp, and suddenly coughed several times violently, choked by the white wine. Just as I was about to pick up my chopsticks to take a bite of food, I realized that my chopsticks were still on the ground!
Zhou Botao hesitated for a moment and said: "General Su, Minister Zhao and I will send your request back to Jinzhou City immediately, and there should be no problem."

Zhou Botao knew very well that although the thirteen factions of the military were all planning to divide up Su Yi's army in secret, the premise was that the army under Su Yi's command could not be chaotic, otherwise Yueyang City would not be able to defend. Now that Su Yi is threatening to withdraw from Yueyang City, the factions of the Ministry of National Defense have to agree to Su Yi's request even if they hold their noses. Yueyang City can be said to be the lifeblood of the various factions of the Ministry of National Defense.

If Yueyang City is captured by the Ice Lion Army, it will have a great impact on the Great Qin Kingdom. Maybe the Great Qin Congress will completely lose hope of winning this war because of the fall of Yueyang City. Fang's thirteen factions have nothing to play with, and there will be eggs under the nest!
Su Yi also pinpointed the importance that the thirteen factions attached to Yueyang City, so he unscrupulously raised conditions on the Ministry of National Defense.
