Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 330 Interview with Su Yi
In the city defense command of Yueyang City, Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of the city defense, frowned and said to Su Yi: "Commander, after the blood wolf country invaded the southwest region, it can be said that it will be worse for our Great Qin Kingdom. Now our Great Qin Army is the main force in the southwest region. It has been defeated, presumably the entire southwest region will soon fall."

Su Yi looked at the military map on the table, sighed and said: "Yueyang City is located in the central part of the hinterland of the Great Qin Kingdom, and we have no intention of dealing with the southwest region, but the Ice Lion Kingdom should not see the entire southwest region fall into disarray. Into the hands of the blood wolf country."

Sun Guodong hesitated for a moment and asked: "Commander, should we wait a little longer for the attack on the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom to the east of Yueyang City? A group of troops were dispatched near the city to rush to the southwest region."

Su Yi waved his hand and said, "The time for the attack on the Ice Lion Army to the east of Yueyang City remains unchanged. We cannot pin our hopes on the enemy, and the five tank regiments and seven temporary divisions we participated in the attack have all been dispatched." The pre-war preparations have been completed, and more than [-] Xiuniao fighter jets and more than [-] Goshawk dive bombers of the Air Force Independent Division are also on standby at any time. We are fully capable of defeating the Ice Lion Army currently gathered in the east of Yueyang City , and even recover the large areas that fell to the east.”

Sun Guodong nodded, "Commander, a reporter from Daqin Daily, wants to conduct an exclusive interview with you, hoping to inspire the fighting spirit of the people of the whole country to resist the invaders!"

There are several influential newspapers in Yueyang City. They have not completely evacuated Yueyang City, and have been tracking and reporting on the defense of Yueyang City. Daqin Daily is one of them, and it is also the one with the largest circulation.

Su Yi thought about it for a while and said: "This is also a good publicity for us, let the reporter from Daqin Daily come here as soon as possible, and try to make this interview appear in the newspaper before we launch an attack on the Ice Lion Army in the east of Yueyang City. "

On the morning of August 2538, [-] in the divine calendar, in the office of Su Yi of the City Defense Command, Su Yi accepted an exclusive interview with Ye Nan, a female reporter from Daqin Daily.

Su Yi's wives in the Tang Empire and the Han Kingdom all had stunning looks, but when Su Yi saw the female reporter Ye Nan who interviewed him, he was still impressed by Ye Nan's beauty. Shocked a bit.

"Commander Su, you are my idol. It is my honor to be able to interview you today. If you have any taboo questions during the interview, you can tell me directly." Ye Nan said to Su Yi a little excitedly.

Ye Nan is only 22 years old this year, and has only worked in Daqin Daily for less than two years. She can only be regarded as an ordinary reporter. Ye Nan never imagined that the newspaper would entrust herself with the task of conducting an exclusive interview with Su Yi.

Su Yi smiled slightly: "I didn't expect your newspaper to send such a beautiful female reporter to interview me. I feel very honored to know Ms. Ye, so let's start the interview now!"

When Ye Nan heard Su Yi praise her for being beautiful, her heart beat faster for some reason, but Ye Nan quickly adjusted and glanced at the interview script, "Commander Su, then I will start an exclusive interview with you now, I don't know What does Commander Su think about the blood wolf country taking advantage of the fire to rob the southwest region of our great Qin country?"

The interview draft in Ye Nan's hand was prepared before coming to interview Su Yi, and the content of the interview was approved by Sun Guodong, deputy commander of the city defense.

Su Yi then said: "As the only human country in the world, our Daqin country has always hoped to live in peace with other orc countries, so that humans and orcs from other countries can truly become friends. However, some orcs People's countries, such as the ice lion country and the blood wolf country, ignore the goodwill of our Great Qin country, and even trample on it mercilessly. I can tell the invaders of the ice lion country and the blood wolf country here, you His plot will not succeed!"

Ye Nan asked with a gloomy face at this time: "Commander Su, only a part of the southwest region, a part of the central region, and a part of the southeast region are left in our Great Qin Kingdom. The main force has been defeated by the army of the blood wolf country, and the loss of the entire southwestern region is inevitable, do you think our Great Qin country still has hope to drive out the invaders from the ice lion country and the blood wolf country?"

Su Yi said firmly: "I believe that justice will eventually defeat evil. In this war against the invasion of the ice lion country and even the blood wolf country, our Great Qin country is the victim and passively accepts this war. It is justice." The representatives of one side, while the Ice Lion Country and the Blood Wolf Country are invaders and representatives of the evil side, I believe that the final victor of this war must belong to the righteous side."

"Commander Su, what you said is very good. Justice will eventually defeat evil. I also believe that our Great Qin Kingdom will not perish. Then Commander Su thinks what our Great Qin Kingdom should do next in order to bring the Ice Lion Kingdom back to life. Drive out with invaders like Blood Wolf Country?"

"Although I think that our Great Qin Kingdom will definitely win this war, due to the strength of our Great Qin Kingdom, there is a big gap between the Ice Lion Country and the Blood Wolf Country, so I hope that all of our Great Qin Kingdom will The people, whether they are the people in the areas controlled by our Great Qin army or the people in the occupied areas, should take action so that the invaders from the Ice Lion Country and the Blood Wolf Country will be plunged into the ocean of a civil war."

Even if Su Yi had any plans to deal with the Ice Lion Country and the Blood Wolf Country, he would not say it directly in the newspaper, so Su Yi's answer to Ye Nan's question was actually sloppy and perfunctory. past.

Ye Nan heard that Su Yi was unwilling to answer his question directly, and immediately changed the subject, "Commander Su, regarding the battle in Yueyang City, do you think the three temporary armies under your command can finally defeat the Ice Lion Army's capture?" The intention of the capital of our Great Qin Kingdom?"

Su Yi said with a smile: "Miss Ye must also know that although I only have three temporary armies under my command, the temporary first army, temporary second army, and temporary third army are different from other armies of our Great Qin Army. In addition to the several supplementary regiments formed for the three temporary armies, each temporary army now has a strength of more than 65, which is equivalent to the total strength of the thirteen armies of our Great Qin Army, so we I have the confidence to defeat the second attack of the Ice Lion Army on Yueyang City, you must know that I have already thwarted the attack of the Ice Lion Army on Yueyang City once, and it is normal to defeat it again."

Ye Nan hesitated for a moment and asked: "Commander Su, as far as I know, nearly half of the troops sent by the Ice Lion Kingdom to our Great Qin Kingdom are now gathered around Yueyang City and the five counties to the south. , and they are all elite troops of the Ice Lion Army, Commander Su is confident in defending Yueyang City, does it mean that he has the confidence to defeat the more than 200 million elite troops of the Ice Lion Army?"

"Of course I hope to defeat the more than 200 million elite troops of the Ice Lion Army. It is best to eat up all the more than 200 million elite troops of the Ice Lion Army. There will be earth-shaking changes, and that will also be the prelude to our Great Qin army launching a counterattack against the invaders from the Ice Lion Kingdom."

Ye Nan hurriedly asked: "Commander Su, can we really wipe out the more than 200 million elite troops of the Ice Lion Army?"

Su Yi shrugged and said: "This is just a wish of mine. You must know that the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom ranks first in the world in terms of strength. It's quite powerful, otherwise our Great Qin Kingdom wouldn't have fallen so many areas. It would be a very difficult task to wipe out Yueyang City and the more than 200 million Ice Lion Army around the five counties to the south. And the millions of soldiers under his command will do whatever it takes to complete this impossible task."

Ye Nan went on to say: "Commander Su, I believe there will be a miracle! As we all know, the army under Commander Su's combat effectiveness can rival the elite troops of the Ice Lion Army. Regarding weapons and equipment, can Commander Su reveal the source of these advanced weapons and equipment?"

Su Yi smiled slightly, "Due to historical reasons, we humans have always been oppressed by the orcs, but it is undeniable that we humans have made great contributions to the development of the world today. Many things were invented by us humans, including gunpowder and the earliest artillery, but these inventions were plundered by the orcs. At present, the weapons and equipment equipped by my army are all developed by humans and produced in batches. As for how it was produced and where it was produced, that is a military secret.”

Ye Nan said excitedly: "Sure enough, these advanced weapons and equipment are all produced by us humans. General Su, our Great Qin Kingdom is in other regions. Due to the lack of ammunition, our Great Qin State is unable to carry out unlimited large-scale military expansion. I wonder if the weapons and ammunition in the hands of Commander Su can support other areas of our Great Qin State?"

Su Yi smiled wryly and said: "The production of these advanced weapons and ammunition is limited after all. For the time being, it can barely meet the needs of the three temporary armies under my command, and cannot support brother troops in other regions. But a while ago, I A large number of seized weapons and ammunition were handed over to the Ministry of National Defense. Among them, the standard rifles of the Ice Lion Army alone amounted to 40. Now the Ministry of National Defense has relied on these weapons and ammunition to form a new army of hundreds of thousands in the southeast. , no matter how difficult it is, I will try my best to raise weapons and ammunition to support brother troops in other regions."

"Commander Su, there was news before that because you did not follow the order of the Ministry of National Defense to send troops to support the friendly forces south of Danyan County and Huining County, and sat by and watched the friendly forces being attacked by the Ice Lion Army, that made Yueyang City and the five counties to the south Surrounded by the Ice Lion National Army, I wonder if this is true?"

Su Yi sighed and said: "At that time, while the Ice Lion Army was attacking Danyan County and the area south of Huining County, it suddenly increased its attack on the three urban areas of Yueyang City, and also dispatched a large number of troops. Threatening the east and west lines of the five counties in the south, I had more than 200 million troops under my command, but they were pinned down and unable to move. Finally, the Ice Lion Army surrounded my troops in Yueyang City and the five counties in the south. Within the territory of the county, I'm not helpless, there's really nothing I can do!"

"Commander Su, I heard that you plan to issue military tickets in Yueyang City and the five counties of Yuhong, Zhutian, Lanping, Danyan, and Huining to replace Qin Yuan of our Great Qin Kingdom. it is true?"

Su Yi nodded and said: "There is indeed a plan in this regard. After all, due to the war, the purchasing power of Qin and Yuan has plummeted. To replace Qin Yuan for issuance, I am going to issue a gold-based military ticket, which will be circulated in my jurisdiction to replace Qin Yuan, which has been plummeting."

For the more than 200 million officers and soldiers under his command, especially those with relatively high military ranks, it is not enough to just show affection. Su Yi moved a large amount of gold from the Tang Empire and the Han Kingdom to the world of the Great Qin Kingdom. And silver, used to pay the military salaries of more than 200 million officers and soldiers, and the military salaries of the officers and soldiers under Su Yi's command are much higher than those of other troops in the Great Qin Kingdom. This is also an important reason why Su Yi can firmly control the more than 200 million troops under his command one.

Before the invasion of the Ice Lion Kingdom, one Qin Yuan could buy about ten kilograms of rice. With the successive defeats of the Great Qin Army on the battlefield, Qin Yuan’s purchasing power continued to decline, especially after the invasion of the Blood Wolf Country, Qin Yuan plummeted , as of the beginning of August in 2538 in the divine calendar, one kilogram of rice would cost about [-] Qin yuan, which has plummeted by [-] times compared to before the war.

It is very troublesome to use real money to pay the officers and soldiers under his command all the time, and Qin Yuan has plummeted all the way, and has not even bottomed out yet, so Su Yi decided to issue a currency to replace Qin Yuan.

However, the government of the Great Qin Kingdom still exists now, and Su Yi can't do too much in some things, so he plans to call this currency a military ticket, of course, it's just an attempt to cover it up.

The female reporter Ye Nan then asked Su Yi a few more questions before concluding the interview with Su Yi, "Commander Su, thank you for accepting my interview, Daqin Daily will publish your interview as soon as possible .”

Su Yi looked at Ye Nan, who was the best in figure and appearance, and suddenly felt moved, and said with a smile: "Miss Ye, it's almost time for lunch. I don't know if I have the honor to invite Miss Ye to join me. Lunch?"

Ye Nan's eyes lit up, "How could I refuse Commander Su's invitation!"
