Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 486 Negotiations
The Southern Army was originally a unit that belonged to the battle order of the Far East Dynasty. They were not interested in who would be the emperor. After all, the southern region was high and the emperor was far away, so whoever was the emperor was the same, and had little impact on them.

So at the beginning of the meeting, Marshal Qin Lan of the Southern Army told Lin Chuan that the Southern Army would continue to fight under the banner of the dynasty, guard the territory, and would never do anything rebellious.

After all, Qin Lan knew very well that if she really wanted to separate herself from one side, the tens of thousands of old and weak soldiers under her command would not be able to withstand the brave and skilled Zhenxi Army, so she made a wise choice.

The Southern Army's mobilization of twelve infantry battalions in the border area of ​​Leo Province is not to fight against the Zhenxi Army, but to prevent the rebels of the Rain King Longjing from going south to attack Leo Province in self-defense.

Regarding Qin Lan's explanation, although Lin Chuan, the Chief Inspector, is well aware of it, he still expresses his understanding very generously: "It is the duty of soldiers to protect the home and country. Don't let the rebels enter the province of Leo, as a reward."

Facing Lin Chuan's compliment, Qin Lan didn't take it seriously either. After all, both sides knew well what was going on with mobilizing troops to the border area.

The Southern Army announced that it would continue to be loyal to the Far Eastern Dynasty. This was expected by Lin Chuan. After all, they are not stupid. If they do not want to perish, this is their only choice.

Since they continue to be loyal to the Far East Dynasty, the original hostile relationship between the two parties does not exist, after all, they are both officials of the Dynasty now.

Under the premise that the Southern Army declared that it would continue to serve the Far Eastern Dynasty, Lin Chuan, Chief Inspector General, proposed the plan to reorganize the Southern Army entrusted to him by Emperor Long Han.

Although the Southern Army declared its allegiance to the Far Eastern Dynasty, Long Han couldn't shake the sand in his eyes. What he needed was not verbal allegiance, but real allegiance, so he asked Lin Chuan to completely reorganize the Southern Army and become a truly obedient soldier. The army of the Far Eastern Dynasty obeyed the orders of Emperor Longhan's army.

This was an arduous negotiation. Wang Jing hoped to successfully receive the southern army without using weapons, and then reorganize it to become a strong army guarding the south and guarding the granary of the Far Eastern Dynasty.

In the face of Wang Jing's reorganization plan, the Southern Army has strong internal resistance, because those noble generals know that once they accept the reorganization of the dynasty, their own abilities will be useless, and those who have been abolished will definitely damage their interests, so Make things difficult for the reorganization plan, hoping to maintain the status quo.

Although the Marshal of the Southern Army also hopes that the Southern Army will become stronger and does not want the Southern Army to remain weak, but in order to strive for the greatest benefit, she will not give an inch.

"President Lin, we are firmly opposed to reorganization. Our Southern Army is doing well, why should we accept reorganization?" Noble general Amu stood up first to retort, spitting everywhere.

General Tutt also stood up and echoed: "Our southern army has guarded the southern border for hundreds of years. If there is no credit, there is hard work. If you talk about reorganization, you will reorganize and eliminate the old and weak. Isn't this chilling the hearts of the soldiers?"

With two noble generals taking the lead, the rest of the generals also began to loudly oppose the reorganization, and the entire conference room was extremely noisy, like a vegetable market.

Lin Chuan did not directly answer the questions of the noble generals, but instead asked: "The southern army has low combat power and is called a garbage army. If they don't accept reorganization and become a strong army, how can they guard the dynasty's granary?"

After hearing Lin Chuan's rhetorical question, the generals of the Southern Army immediately exploded. Although they knew well that the combat effectiveness of the Southern Army was really weak, Lin Chuan's words in full view were just slapping them in the face. After all, they Is a general.

Lin Chuan said that the Southern Army's combat effectiveness was weak. Didn't he turn a corner and say that they were not capable enough, so the generals of the Southern Army immediately became angry.

Even Qin Lan, Marshal of the Southern Army's face suddenly sank. Lin Chuan's words revealed the fig leaf of the Southern Army, making their generals a little angry.

"Lin Chuan, don't bully people too much, you are insulting our southern army!" a general roared loudly.

Another general slammed his saber on the wooden table and threatened loudly, "If you don't explain clearly today and apologize to our Southern Army, our Southern Army's [-] soldiers will not agree!"

Lin Chuan uncovered their fig leaf, which made them angry. Some people began to abuse, and some people threatened loudly. The meeting room was so noisy that even Southern Army Marshal Qin Lan couldn't help defending the dignity of the Southern Army.

"President Lin, although our southern army is looked down upon by you, we have guarded southern borders and have not lost an inch of land for a hundred years. There is hard work without credit, so please respect our southern army."

Lin Chuan smiled and explained: "I didn't mean to insult your army, I, Lin Chuan, also respect your army for the past hundred years, defending the border for the country, but Marshal Qin, I think you also know your army What is it like to degenerate now? To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the powerful Far Eastern Dynasty and the enemy country would not dare to invade, it might not be easy for you to not lose an inch of land with your combat power."

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, Qin Lan's face turned green and then turned pale, and he didn't speak. Lin Chuan was right. It wasn't that their southern army was so powerful, but that the enemy didn't dare to act rashly because they were afraid of the revenge of the Far Eastern Dynasty.

If the enemy country really attacked the southern region, it would be impossible for them to not lose an inch of land with the combat power of their southern army. I am afraid that the whole territory will fall in two weeks, and the southern army will become the sinner of the dynasty. Now they are doing well Yes, that's because they were lucky.

"No matter how eloquent you are, you can't do it if you insult our southern army, and our [-] soldiers won't agree!" Seeing that Marshal Qin Lan was at a loss for words, the generals of the southern army started clamoring again.

Lin Chuan is also free and easy: "Okay, since you don't admit that you are an army of garbage, I have a good idea here. It's a mule or a horse coming out for a walk, let's set up a battle with real knives and real guns, and see if it works. Your [-] Southern Army is good at fighting, or our [-] Western Army is brave!"

"However, I want to remind you that as far as I know, although you have a staff of 5, you probably have less than [-]?" Lin Chuan added.

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, the generals showed embarrassment on their faces. It is already an aboveboard thing in the army to eat empty pay. Lin Chuan said it directly, which made them very embarrassed.

Faced with Lin Chuan's aggressiveness, the nobles and generals were speechless for a while. They kept shouting, but they were just putting pressure on Lin Chuan and wanting to win more benefits, but they didn't expect that Lin Chuan would not buy it, and they didn't know how to answer Lin Chuan for a while. .

Not to mention the [-] Zhenxi Army, just pulling out [-] Zhenxi Army can beat their southern army to the ground, so no one dares to accept Lin Chuan's words, it will kill people.

The meeting room suddenly fell silent, and everyone's clamoring stopped, and the scene suddenly became cold.

In the end, Lin Chuan paused and said, "There are two choices for you. The first is to accept the reorganization of the dynasty, and the second is to pull it out and let's do a game. If you win, you don't have to accept the reorganization."

Faced with Lin Chuan's straightforwardness, Qin Lan was stunned for a moment and then had to smile awkwardly. What kind of jokes are you making in a fight? Isn't that courting death?So it's better to discuss some practical issues.

"President Lin, if we accept reorganization, the army will expand to 20, so I want to know where we officers will go?" Qin Lan paused and said.

When the generals of the Southern Army heard this, they stopped discussing, and all their eyes were focused on Lin Chuan, hoping that he would give them a satisfactory answer.

When Lin Chuan heard what Qin Lan said, he smiled knowingly. He knew that she had compromised.

Where they will go after the reorganization is related to their power and core interests. They serve as generals of the southern army. Although the combat effectiveness of the army is low, they can still live a good life. After the reorganization, where they will go is what they are most concerned about now. A large part of the opposition is also to seek more benefits at this moment.

Facing the burning gazes of the generals, Lin Chuan coughed and sat up straight. Instead of answering immediately, he asked instead: "Where do you all want to go?"
