Beautiful Another World Red Tide

"Then why do you still insist on going to the government?" Don Toth asked.

"Mister teacher, sir. It is true that the military department of the empire needs officers like me, but the students think that our imperial government needs people with knowledge like me to do their work. Sir, don't you want to know that our magic What is the poverty rate among our fellow countrymen?" Derekter said.

"What nonsense are you talking about, the military department, how can you speak such nonsense!" Dontos scolded.

"It's not such a senior! In the empire, 8000 million of the [-] million demon compatriots are still in the same situation as humans, elves, and dwarves. In the empire, people like me are needed to reimburse the empire. Deal with these problems!"

"Bastard!" Xililuoang slapped Derekte's face angrily, and he really couldn't stop the flame of anger in his heart.This incompetent disciple is obviously already a major, he is already considered a member of his Xililuoang family, and he has broken away from the ranks of commoners.Why are you still so stubborn, thinking about those completely useless things?

"Our five holy clans have always been famous for their hardships among the demons. Now there are remnants of elves in the northeast of the empire, remnants of hatred in the north, and the Western Empire in the east. In the north, there are still 6000 million human beings living In this situation, we can only bring prosperity to our compatriots by waiting for the empire to unify the continent!" Xili Luoang said.

"But His Majesty Baohan who succeeded to the throne back then, didn't he also say the same to you, teacher?"

"That is to deal with the internal affairs of the imperial government." Xili Luoang said indifferently, and made a gesture to bring the two of them into the military meeting hall.

What he didn't know was that this short answer left a huge shock to his two students.The reverie of young people is always boundless, and this view of the teacher can't help but give birth to more ideas.It's just a pity that the two brothers and sisters have different ideas, although they both agree that there are huge problems in the imperial government, and there is an urgent need to solve the poverty problem of the compatriots.But after a few years, the two of them still embarked on different paths.

The meeting hall has long been crowded with people, and all the silver pupils and generals of the fear clan have uniformly changed into the latest khaki military uniforms.The gargoyle generals wore pure white military uniforms. As for the Lich tribe, they were more used to wearing their own arcanist robes.Following the Mozu practice, the military uniform was not changed.

"General Xililuoang." A three-winged king nodded respectfully to Xililuoang who had come late.

"Lieutenant General Quan Bullitt, it's been about a year, right? What? Why did you come back from the Northwest Army?" Xi Liluoang shook hands with Lieutenant General Quan Bullitt.

"The command of the military department, the first battle is about to begin." Lieutenant General Quan Bullitt said in a low voice.

"Are you kidding me? Why haven't I received any news?" General Xili Luoang asked suspiciously.

"You have worked in the Yintong Army Department for the past six months, and you have been listening to the imperial court. You have just returned to the military department to take charge of further work for a month. Of course, you don't know the specific plan of the military department." Lieutenant General Quan Bullitt continued to speak in a low voice.

"Ah! General Xili Luoang! You are late!"

A fear tribe general with a white beard in a white military uniform came over laughing and said to Sirilon.

"General Shan Ruode, I was guessing just now, if I come, you must be indispensable." Xili Luoang and Shan Ruode hugged and said.

"What? I'm afraid that everything is going well with the Army Department?" General Xili Luoang asked with a smile.

"Your news is really ill-informed. I no longer serve in the Department of the Army of Fear." General Shan Ruode touched his beard and patted his white military uniform and said with a smile.

"I just took office as the Minister of the Imperial Navy five days ago. I rushed to the west coast overnight to inspect the navy and came back. You don't know, my old waist is almost broken." General Shan Ruode touched his own Waist said distressedly.

"If you are loyal to the empire, you will always be injured." General Xili Luoang said with a smile.

"Everyone! The joint meeting of the five armies of the Imperial Army is about to begin, please keep quiet and sit down in turn!"

A thin old man in khaki military uniform in front shouted loudly to the generals below. Sirilon snorted coldly when he heard the man's shout, but still walked forward obediently.General Shan Ruode smiled helplessly when he saw Xililuoang's appearance. Old generals like Xililuoang with silver pupils had always had a bad relationship with the generals of the Lich tribe, but they had a very good relationship with their fear tribe.In fact, this is also a historical legacy caused by the previous Majesty Baolai, which caused such a gap between the old general Yintong and the old general Lich.

The previous His Majesty Baolai was deeply in danger. Almost all the generals in the military headquarters were generals from the Silver Eye Clan and the Fear Clan, and there were only a few representatives of Arcanists from the Lich Clan.Once a military change occurs, it will be very detrimental to the empire.Due to various considerations, His Majesty Baolai suppressed the promotion opportunities of a large number of Yintong generals, and instead promoted a large number of Lich tribe officers to important positions.This kind of behavior also made Xili Luoang's generation of silver-eyed officers and Lich officers form a relationship. After all, everyone would be very dissatisfied if they robbed their own promotion opportunities.

This kind of farce lasted until His Majesty Baojia ascended the throne. When His Majesty Baojia succeeded to the throne, he promoted a large number of generals with silver pupils to high-level positions, and restored the composition of the military department dominated by silver pupils.It was only in this situation that the military department eased down, and gradually became willing to cooperate with the Army Department within the imperial government to handle military affairs.It's back to where it is today.You must know that in the headquarters of the military department ten years ago, only the Lich Clan's staff members went to the Imperial Army Department to discuss matters, and none of the Silver Eyed Clan's staff members or generals would be willing to hand over the work.

"Ministry of the Navy! Is the Minister of the Navy, Admiral Shan Ruode, here?" the old man on the stage asked angrily.

"Here." Shan Ruode sat in the front row and stretched out his hand.

"Where are the ministers of Silver Eyes Army Department, Fear Army Department, Air Force Department, and Archer Department?" the old man asked.

"Here." Several other generals with different appearances also raised their hands to show their presence.The other generals in the back also sat up straight. Generally, once the five ministers finished their roll call, the important meeting of the base camp would begin.

"This military meeting will still be presided over by me, Chief of Staff Shi Li Nash."

The old man bowed slowly, and spoke to the generals very gently.

"What kind of news should be announced at this joint meeting of the headquarters of the military headquarters, so that five ministers and generals and so many generals and heavenly kings are required to be present? Could it be that His Majesty decided to go north?" the Minister of the Gargoyle Clan of the Ministry of Air Force questioned.

"That's not the case. With the goal of going north, the Empire's No. [-] Operation Plan has not yet been launched. The plan discussed at this meeting is the No. [-] Operation Plan of our military department." Chief of Staff Shi Li Nash replied.

"Ah, that's good. The time to go north is not ripe yet, so it's really not appropriate to be so rash... What??! Battle Plan No. [-]!"

Not only the Minister of the Air Force was surprised, but almost all the generals with at least the rank of lieutenant general fell into shock.Only a few insiders remained calm, but after hearing the plan from General Counselor Shi Li Nash, they still gasped with heaving chests.No way, the No. [-] battle plan is simply indescribable. He was raised by the radical northward faction several times in several major meetings of the military department and rejected by the ministers several times.The No. [-] Operation Plan of the Imperial Army is the Northward General Attack Plan, and the No. [-] Operation Plan is code-named 'Plan of Extermination'. From this, one can imagine how radical and terrifying the No. [-] Operation Plan is to rank among these two. Big plans ahead.

"Yes, after discussions with the staff of the military department, we believe that the military department has made breakthrough progress in a series of work in the north, and the time to implement the No. [-] combat plan is approaching step by step. But before the implementation of the northward plan, There is one more thing that needs to be resolved." The chief staff officer pointed at the map on the wall with a majestic look on his face.

"The Southern Cross Forest is an eternal obstacle for the empire to go north, and it is also the rear area of ​​the remnants of the elves. Even the Western Empire of the United States has been able to slack off its defense because of this forest, and it is dedicated to defending the third-line defense." Shi Li Nash, Chief Counselor Dubu Said.

"Therefore, the military believes that it is time to prepare for the implementation of Operation Plan No. [-], code-named Eternal Flame."

222 Eternal Flame

"What nonsense are you talking about!" General Shan Ruode said angrily as he stood up.

"Operation Plan No. [-] is a banned plan that was rejected by the military department long ago! Why did you bring it up for discussion again? Do you think that Operation Plan No. [-] is foolproof?" General Shan Ruode continued to question road.

"I won't explain this to you." Chief Staff Officer Shi Li Nash said with a glance at Shan Ruode.

"Now we are calling for votes again. Those who support the preparation of the No. [-] Operation Plan, please raise your hands." The General Staff continued.

There was silence below, none of the five ministers was willing to raise their hands to vote in favor of the plan, and the lieutenant generals who went down were also hesitant. There were a few people who wanted to raise their hands, but they saw that no one else raised their hands. The hands also remained silent together.As soon as the line of sight reached the major general and other middle and low-level officers in the last row, it changed.At least one-third of the major general officers raised their hands, and the other officers at the end even expressed their support.

"I've already said it. The generals will never agree. You can explain it yourself." Chief of Staff Shi Li Nash said coldly to behind the curtain.

The people behind the curtain asked after hearing this, and stood up from behind the scenes one after another.This kind of behavior finally eased the expressions of General Shan Ruode and other demon generals.They knew that no matter how stupid the general staff of the military department were, no matter how disregarding the strategy, they would not reactivate this plan.

Several young officers stood up from behind the curtain and bowed to the generals to apologize, Shan Ruode snorted coldly and refused to look at these young people.He has long felt that the current Imperial Military Academy education is too problematic.

Due to various social reasons, the military academy of the empire conducts high-intensity tactical and basic training for young demon soldiers, requiring each military academy student to be proficient in army command, specific battle tactics, and very complete basic combat essentials.However, since there are still noble soldiers composed of knights in the empire, the education and teaching of grand strategy has been denied by other knight kings.It is a grace for civilians to be promoted to the rank of school officer. If you want to enter the strategic level, unless you attach to your family after graduation, you will never have any education.

This kind of education makes every officer who graduates from the military academy a very professional and elite officer who is very good at fighting.But if it comes to grand strategy, it can only rely on the staff officers of the military department and the ministers of the five military departments.

The population of the demons in the empire expanded rapidly, until it reached 7000 million people today.It would be very inappropriate to say that they live like poor people.But if it is said that their living conditions are better than other races, it is very open-eyed and nonsense.Under the rule of the Co-Prosperity Empire, the entire south has a total of 300 million humans, 700 million dwarves and [-] million elves.It would be an exaggeration to say that they want to rely on other races to feed the entire Demon Race.Based on habitual thinking, the empire has always implemented a very weird political system internally.That is to say, it is difficult for most people in the empire, regardless of race, to obtain subsidies for their lives, and only the most core soldiers and noble families can obtain the most favorable living conditions.Maybe it's a subconscious thought, or maybe it didn't turn the corner, the empire still maintains the idea that as long as the army is always in its hands, it can be foolproof.As for the others, let's live their lives normally.

The demons are first-class citizens, they can serve as soldiers, and they can enter the government from the army.Can work in various industries, only need to pay 'normal' taxes.Further down is human beings, and human beings are second-class citizens.You can be a soldier, but you can only enter a human soldier.It is forbidden to enter the imperial government, and it is forbidden to serve as the commander of the Demon Army.It is not allowed to engage in occupations other than agriculture, industry, and commerce, especially in terms of culture. Human beings are strictly prohibited from entering the education system as teachers or military teachers, or entering libraries as administrators.Human magicians must be strictly isolated and inspected. After discovering that they have magical talents, they must go to the empire to work, and must not stay in the co-prosperity empire.

The elves and dwarves are the lowest race. They are not even allowed to serve in the army. They are slaves all their lives, and they can beat, scold and buy and sell at will.Most of these people exist as servants or labor slaves, and their status belongs to the lowest level.Layer after layer of cruel and extreme hierarchy, His Majesty and Sirs constitute the top of the pyramid, the army constitutes the upper layer of the pyramid, demons and humans constitute the main part, and then the rest of the other races succumb to the empire’s highest level. bottom layer.Race and race, group and group are extremely hierarchical.If it is the only way out, then only with magical talent can one make one's life easier.

Rather than saying that this is an empire, it is better to say that this is a military government controlled by soldiers.Everything revolves around the army, and this is the reason why the life of the demons at the bottom is extremely ordinary.The Imperial Military Department operates with an extremely large amount of funds every year. Under such circumstances, the Empire needs to maintain the 'needs' of officials and nobles.With the division of power among the three parties, the benefits that can be given to the bottom of the Demon Race are very few, almost none.

The military department swallowed all the wealth obtained from plundering and exploitation, as if they were the real masters of the empire.It is not that the empire has not considered this issue since its stable rule, and several His Majesties have also been working hard to plan to reduce the military expenditure of the military.But unfortunately, the effect always backfired. Whenever His Majesty planned to reduce military expenditures and invest part of the annual income in the government or construction, the war would always break out quickly and drag the empire into the war again.

The military department enjoys unanimous authority among the bottom of the demon clan. Whenever a war breaks out, the martial bottom of the demon clan will always set off a new round of enlistment movement, directly dragging the imperial government into the war and forcing the holy His Majesty had to suspend the adjustment plan.It was like this in the battle against hatred back then, and it was also like this in the extermination of elves in the southwest and northwest regions, and it was also like the big offensive against the American Jianxi Empire.Whenever the recuperation is about the same, the military always has to search for a new round of rival organization wars.His Majesty Baolai, the former Holy Majesty, once complained that if all these forces were wiped out, the military would probably list the monsters in the Southern Cross Forest as targets of crusade, or the sea monsters in the sea as targets of attack.

A deformed, extremely deformed empire.It's no wonder that Derekte wants to work in the government. In the eyes of many cultural people, the political structure of the Demon Empire would be no problem if it were placed in the chaotic place in the Demon Realm back then.At that time, the various demon clans in the demon world often fought against each other, and there was never a day without war.Back then, the five demon clans were united as one family, and implemented a military department system that was far more advanced than other demon clans. They used the power of the whole clan to supply the army. They sacrificed the living standards of countless demon clansmen, and countless Most of the demons struggled in poverty to fight out in the chaotic era, and won the opportunity for the whole family to enter the Dawn Continent, and have always achieved the grand cause of exclusive ownership of the Dawn Continent.

What is even more deformed is the No. [-] battle plan in front of him.According to the ideas of the military ministers, this insane battle plan should have been destroyed directly and should not be kept.But the problem is that this war plan is the master of the demons back then. He established a military academy system in the demons to ensure the promotion of officers from the lower demons. The great mentor who laid the foundation for the situation of the modern demon army: Hippolyte's military master is the most cited Proud battle plan.If this plan is rejected rashly, it is really hard to imagine how much impact it will have on those young officers who know about it.

"General!" The leader, a young Yintong bowed very seriously and straightened his back.

"The empire has reached a critical moment to go north, and the dawn of unification should be in our class. If you want to go north, you must cross the equatorial grassland and the Southern Cross forest." The young man walked to the map on the wall excitedly said before.

"Which batch of Shenglu's graduates are you?" General Xililuoang asked sullenly, resting his hands on his chin.

"The 51st batch of graduates of the Holy Empire Army Academy is currently working as an army combat staff officer in the military department, with the rank of colonel." The young man replied with a bow.

"It's our senior. I met him when I was in Shenglu. At that time, he was the headmaster of our cavalry department. The entire cavalry department listened to him." Dong Tuote whispered to Derekte.

"Is the senior's idea good or bad?" Derekte also asked in a low voice.

"Operation Plan No. [-] is the painstaking work of Master Hippolyte. You should have learned it in Holy Land. Without Master Hippolyte, there would be no military structure today." Don Toth said in a low voice.

"Let me ask you, do you know the inaccuracy of the No. [-] battle plan? Do you know why the No. [-] battle plan was rejected by us several times?"

General Dashmit, the Minister of the Fearful Army, stood up and asked.

"General! The Southern Cross Forest is the culprit for our failure to go north last time. If we don't take the Southern Cross Forest into our own hands first, according to the current plan of the military department to go north, we are doomed to fail again!" The young man Said excitedly.

"You also said, master, it is not necessary to implement the No. [-] battle plan. We can definitely send troops to control the Southern Cross Forest, step by step." The Minister of the Air Force, Gargoyle General Dong Lahe, said dissatisfied.

"Wrong! General! The Southern Cross Forest has complex terrain, and monsters are everywhere. The forest is so lush that it hardly sees the sun when placed in it. If we want to control it, I don't know how many troops will be invested and how many demon soldiers will be killed. This forest It is even more useless for our empire and our army. Therefore, I strongly suggest that it is time to implement the No. [-] battle plan!"

"Use the power of the whole country to recruit all fire-type arcanists and implement the eternal fire plan!"

223 The Unforgettable Battle

The entire chamber fell into silence again, and no one dared to speak without authorization.Even the generals folded their arms without saying a word, looked at the young man with very dissatisfied eyes, and said nothing for a long time.

"The Eternal Flame plan is too dangerous, and it is very likely to backfire on the empire. I am against it." General Xili Luoang said leisurely with arms folded.

"I'm against it too."

"Me too."

Without exception, the five generals voted against it, unanimously refusing to prepare the plan.This statement was very useful, and then almost all the lieutenant generals and all other generals of noble origin voted against it, and few people supported the plan.

"Where's King Aldrick? Where's King Aldrich? Why haven't you seen them here?" General Shan Ruode asked.

"General." The young man said seriously again.

"Shouldn't you think about it for the army?"

"What are you thinking about? Thinking about this crazy plan?" General Shan Ruode suddenly stood up and said.

"I won't deny Hippolyte's idea. Hippolyte is a great military genius and one of the founders of the military department and military academy. But I want to say, this plan, no matter what, we will not I agree. His thoughts on this plan are simply unreasonable!"

These words raised the heads of those young people in shock. They really didn't expect that General Shan Ruode would dare to slander Master Hippolyte, and all of them stared at General Shan Ruode with wide eyes and mouths. .

"This meeting, it's better to end this meeting earlier!" General Shan Ruode looked back at the expressions of the other officers, and couldn't help but let out a cold snort again, and walked out with a group of his officers in disdain.

The other four generals followed suit and walked out together with their own factions.An officer like Derekte who had surrendered to the family really felt ashamed. He saw many fellow officers at the same time staring at them angrily, as if angrily denouncing their betrayal.

"A group of reckless men who only know how to fight, but don't know why they want to fight." General Xili Luoang said with his hands behind his back very angrily after leading the two out.

"Hippolyte's proposal back then was absurd, and only these naive young people would regard this proposal as a blessing. Dongtote, you must be vigilant against this trend and report to me in time." Xililuoang continued.

"Yes, teacher." East Toth bent over and said.

"Go to my house tonight and hold a banquet for your junior brother. Looking at today's voting situation, I'm afraid the future of the military department will change." Xili Luoang said with a sigh.

"Ministers, teachers are getting old."

Dong Tuote and Derekte stood on the second floor of the teacher's villa, leaned on the railing together and sighed at the courtyard scene in front of them.

"What do you mean by senior?" Derek asked puzzled.

"Ministers and generals have lost their vigor and become more and more conservative. The empire must not allow this stagnation to continue to spread. If I ask you, it is time for ministers and generals to rest and retire from the army." Don Toth added.

"Our empire still needs the assistance of the old generals. In terms of strategy, they have always been very..." Derekte was interrupted impatiently by Dongtote before he finished speaking. Don't look like a gentleman with glasses, but in terms of belligerence, he can almost be ranked among the top three among his contemporaries.

"Today, I will clean up the dust for you, and don't talk about anything else." Dong Tuote waved his hand and said.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to participate in the club fellowship of our contemporaries, do you want to go together?"

......

"Alas! Alas! Mister in front! Where are you going?"

On the dry road, an old farmer wearing a big straw hat called out to a group of people in front of him.Dressed plainly, the group marched on foot one by one.The old farmer guessed that they were probably going to the nearest village, and hurriedly called out to ask.

The dozen or so people over there reacted, and the young man who led them beckoned to the old farmer and walked towards the old farmer leaning on crutches.The old farmer couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw the young people's actions, and hurriedly led his donkey and walked towards the young people quickly.

"Old man, are you a local? Do you know the way? Can you show us the way?" The leading young man took out a cigarette from his pocket and said to the old man with a gentle smile.

"Well, I am a local herder. I see your clothes. Are you a revolutionary army? Or, you are a gentleman who works on land reform." The old man said with a smile as he took the cigarettes and waved his hand.

"Indeed, but we are neither a revolutionary army, nor are we here to carry out land reform. We are going to Kocha Town ahead to do an important job." The young man and the old man said as they walked forward side by side.

"Are you planning to go to Kecha Town? Then you must be the gentleman of the food team! Oh, why do you come here? We have been looking forward to your visit half a month ago." The old man sighed He said excitedly, shaking his hands and stomping his feet.

"Oh? Old mister? Looks like there's something special going on?" the young man asked slightly serious.

"There is a severe drought in central and southern China, and countless crops have failed. My family lives on the other side of the hill, and I have been receiving relief from the gentlemen of the disaster relief team these days. If it weren't for you, my family would have gone bankrupt." The old man said excitedly, his hands clenched He shook the young man's hand and said.

"Well, disaster relief is the duty of our comrades. We are all migrant workers and the same hard-working people. The old man does not need to be so grateful." The young man also held the old man's hand and comforted him.

"That's what you said, but we didn't see anyone coming to rescue us when we suffered floods two years ago." The old man's eyes turned red, and he held the young man's hand tightly and refused to let go, like Like long-lost relatives, unwilling to be separated.

"Young man, what's your name? Where did you come from? But Sun Boyang's general's soldiers?" The old man asked again.

"Old man, you can just call me Mao Qi. If it is said that I am a soldier of Mr. Sun Boyang, it is true. I was arranged by Mr. Sun to work in West Central South."

The young man smiled and looked up again.Some time ago, he had been in charge of the land distribution work in the newly liberated local area, and later he was busy with disaster relief work without taking a break.Now, he has received a more important task from Sun Boyang, going to Kecha Town to buy food to alleviate the disaster.

"I guessed some time ago that you must come to Kecha Town to buy grain. If you ask me, you should have done this a long time ago. Let's go, I will take you along the path. It is closer and you can get there sooner." The old man said to Mao Qi said.

"Kecha Town is a famous grain-producing town in the west, central and south. We heard that the local grain merchants still have a lot of grain, and we plan to buy some to alleviate the disaster." Mao Qi explained to the old man.

"You said why did you leave in the first place? Since those imperial devils came, the people of Kecha Town have suffered. The imperial devils who had run away have also returned and continued to bully people. Even the grain merchants you just relaxed, It has also been re-mastered, and it looks like it is going to hoard food, trying to grab the last dime." The old man said with a sigh.

"We have to obey the grand strategic plan, that's all we had to do at that time." Moltke replied helplessly with a cigarette in his hand.

"What? The comrades we stayed in Kecha Town didn't work? Why didn't we get any news about how they dared to do such a rampant thing?" Mo Qi continued to ask the old man with some doubts.

"Don't mention it, just five days after the emperor came back, the houses of your comrades caught fire, and none of the ten or so people could escape. After this, no one will dare to take care of this matter anymore." The old man regretted Said.

"Then have you ever heard of two comrades? One named Feovich and the other Simon?"
