Oriental Radio's programs cover a wide range of topics.
Especially countries in Europe where the situation is tense, they prefer to listen to the "War Observation" program hosted by Wang Xiaohu.
Because this is already their only channel to understand the real situation.
The people still had eight percent trust in what the government said at the beginning of the war.
As the government continues to tell lies in order to maintain stability or prevent people from panic.
The credibility of the government is getting lower and lower.
This is the case for Wang Shan, a small businessman in Shenglong Mansion, the capital of Switzerland.
The Rui Kingdom fought against the Shu Kingdom for so long, and the Rui Kingdom had the upper hand most of the time and was on the offensive side.
At that time, Wang Shan still had great trust in the combat capabilities of the Swedish army.
But who would have known that the Rui army was just bullying Shu, a weak country, but if they really faced off against Chu, a powerful European country, they would lose more and win less.
It's not that the Swedish army was not brave on the battlefield, it was that they really couldn't defeat it and had to retreat steadily.
All five southern prefectures have now been lost, and they have all reached Pingguang Prefecture, which is only a hundred kilometers away from the capital Shenglong Prefecture.
At this distance, only one chariot charge was needed for Chu's army to reach Shenglong City.
The people of Shenglong Mansion have already smelled the smoke.
When Wang Shan heard what Chu scholar Mi Youde said, his tense face showed a smile.
He really expected Rui Guo to help Rui Guo, and he didn't want to experience the feeling of national subjugation.
After Wang Shan heard this, he was indeed inspired and the store that had been closed reopened.
He had already made preparations to evacuate Switzerland, and now that he saw things were turning around, he was ready to wait and see for a while.
It was very convenient to evacuate Switzerland. The Swiss government did not stop the flow of people, but they wanted to take away the money they earned by escaping during the national crisis.
Wang Shan really couldn't bear to part with him. He had worked so hard for so many years and built such a small foundation.
He opened the shop door and saw his neighbors also opening the shop door.
Wang Shan greeted: "Uncle Li, you are also open for business.
This is a grocery store. Closing it will not affect people's livelihood.
I didn’t expect that Uncle Li’s rice shop would also be closed. I’m really not afraid of the government coming to visit me.”
After Old Man Li opened the door, as a long-time smoker, he immediately took out his pipe and took a few puffs.
Hearing what Xiao Wang said next door, he chuckled and said: "The people in the government have too much time to take care of themselves. They won't care about us people. There are too many more important things than us and they need to be dealt with first.
If we, the people at the bottom, feel that the environment is safe, we will immediately come out to do business.
Make money, don't be shabby, and no one will mind the pricking of silver coins.
Look at the shops on this street, they are all open for business one after another."
Wang Shan nodded and said: "That's true. Uncle Li is really knowledgeable and insightful. Those people in the government can't see the long term as well as Uncle Li."
Wang Shan chatted with his neighbor Old Man Li for a few words, and then he looked at the surrounding situation.
People started to encourage each other.
A word kept passing through the crowd.
"Cao Guo is our ally of Rui Guo. Cao Guo will not abandon us and ignore us. We must believe in Cao Guo!"
When Old Man Li finished his work and was about to close the door, he took a few puffs of cigarette and saw Wang Shan happily selling goods, as if the troubled times were over.
He shook his head and sighed: "It's still too naive."
Wangshan's grocery store sells sugar. In times of war and chaos, sugar was an important commodity.
White sugar is easy to store. As long as it is stored properly, it has a very long shelf life and does not take up space.
Even if there is no food at home, you can still survive by drinking a few spoons of sugar water.
Especially since Shenglong Mansion is in turmoil, more people are willing to buy sugar.
He had just sent away the last customer when he heard Uncle Li's voice next door.
Wang Shan retorted: "Uncle Li, although you are several rounds older than me, you are too stubborn.
I don’t understand the current situation at all. The Chu scholars on the radio said that Cao Cao will enter the country.
The people of Chu cannot build up our prestige and destroy their own morale."
Old Man Li said disdainfully: "Even if Cao Guo wants to end it, he can't lick his face and just send troops over. He must invite the imperial court.
The court didn't know why there was no news of inviting Cao Guo.
You are still too optimistic. With Chu’s current offensive, if Cao hadn’t come over, we might have been doomed.”
When Wang Shan heard what Old Man Li said, he collapsed directly on the ground, looking at the bright moon in the sky, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He then cheered up and murmured to himself: "The imperial court is slow to respond, so let's use public opinion as a whip and whip them into action."
Wang Shan took action immediately, and he also joined forces with others to act together.
They gathered directly in front of King Rui's palace and conveyed their ideas directly to King Rui.
Seeing this situation, King Rui Su Lei looked at Prime Minister Yu Tianfang and asked: "Didn't I ask King Cao Li Dazhuang to send troops to assist our country?"
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang immediately explained: "Your Majesty, it was precisely because of our request for help that Cao Guo decided to cease war with Wei Guo.
Cao Guo is now organizing personnel and materials to arrive in our country as soon as possible.
It's just that we didn't disclose this news to the public because we were afraid something might happen."
King Sulei of Rui waved his hand and ordered: "There is no need to hide this matter, let's pass it on so that the people can also be happy.
The performance of the army is indeed unsatisfactory.
Now that the army is approaching, confidence is more important than gold.
Not only must this message be conveyed to the people, but also this message must be conveyed to the military.
Tell the generals of the army that it is dawn and dawn is not far away."
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang nodded and responded: "Your Majesty, I will take care of this matter immediately."
The cabinet acted very quickly and spread the news that Cao Guo was coming to aid in a short time.
Young people in Switzerland no longer hesitated and went to the recruitment office to sign up for the army.
"We must use our own strength to defend our homeland and wait for Cao Guo's reinforcements to fight against the enemy together!"
A young man said with bright eyes in front of reporters.
His photo soon made the front pages of mainstream newspapers in Switzerland.
In the school, the teachers taught the children to be brave, and the children shouted in immature voices: "We are confident that Switzerland will not perish!"
In the process from fear to confidence, Ruiguo seemed to have experienced a baptism.
Although the crisis of Rui's subjugation has not yet been resolved, Chu's army is still advancing steadily.
But the fire of hope in people's hearts has been burning brightly, and they firmly believe that as long as the ally Cao State comes to support, the future will be bright.
It's not just people in Switzerland who like to listen to Oriental Radio programs.
As a popular program with a large audience, Chu people also like to listen to it.
In the volatile situation in Europe, the lack of intelligence is a major problem.
Chu State not only pays attention to the programs of Dongfang Radio Station, they have also been paying close attention to the developments of Cao State and Rui State.
Regarding the news that Cao State sent troops to assist Rui State, Chu State did not not believe it, but had already made plans in its heart.
In the Chu court hall, the ministers were arguing fiercely.
Some people suggested that we should temporarily avoid the edge and not let the Chu army fall into danger.
As long as nothing happens to the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops and Chu's strength is not compromised, they will be invincible.
"If Cao Guo sends troops to Rui Guo, it will not affect our army's planned plan.
Our army has almost captured Shenglong, the capital of Switzerland. It is now only a hundred kilometers away from Shenglong, less than two hours' journey by chariot.
The most important thing to do now is to seize the Rui Kingdom in one fell swoop before its reinforcements arrive and expand our territory!"
Hu Weiwei, the governor of Chu State, made an impassioned proposal.
King Chu Lu Chenyang narrowed his bright eyes, thought for a moment and then said: "This plan is feasible, but it needs to be decided quickly.
We must not delay the arrival of Cao's army. In order to capture Rui as soon as possible, our soldiers are already very tired.
Facing Cao's army, which has just won the war and is full of morale, it is not shameful to temporarily avoid its edge."
The Grand Governor Hu Weiwei was authorized by King Lu Chenyang of Chu.
The army of Chu State quickly gathered and marched toward Rui State with great momentum.
The artillerymen of the Chu army fired artillery shells desperately, regardless of the losses of the artillery.
Chu's chariots also began to charge desperately, trying to break through the Swedish army's defense line.
The morale of the Swiss army was originally very low, but upon hearing that reinforcements were about to arrive, the morale of the Swiss army immediately rose.
All the soldiers in the army knew that this was the darkness before dawn. As long as they survived the Chu army's offensive, they would win the war.
A battle broke out between the Chu army and the Rui army at Shanjipo, 70 kilometers away from Shenglong.
The Swiss army would rather suffer heavy casualties than take a step back.
The Rui army resisted tenaciously, and the Chu State's plan to quickly destroy the Rui State failed.
Cao's actions far exceeded Chu's expectations.
After Cao State signed the "Anlong Treaty" with Wei State, Cao King Li Dazhuang immediately asked his son Li Lingyue to lead troops to support Rui State.
Cao Guo did a good job of keeping it secret until they were about to arrive at their destination.
Only when the transport fleet is close to Europe will it be seen by merchant ships that frequently travel to various ports, and the news will be announced through telegrams.
When the generals of the Chu State Governor's Office heard the news, they looked depressed.
The originally confident plan was instantly disrupted. They never expected that Cao Guo would move so quickly.
"What should we do?" Grand Governor Hu Weiwei punched the table.
When Chu King Lu Chenyang heard the news, his face was gloomy and his heart was full of unwillingness. However, facing Cao Guo's rapid actions, he also understood that the situation was already unfavorable.
He said with some regret: "Seventy kilometers, only seventy kilometers short!"
"Retreat!" King Chu finally reluctantly gave the order.
The Chu army had no choice but to retreat slowly with regret and unwillingness, and then defended its position.
The reason why the Chu State withdrew its troops was that the Chu State's monarchs and ministers knew that once Cao's army landed, they would join forces with the Swiss army to attack them.
The situation of the Chu army is really dangerous, and there will definitely be many casualties.
…
On the vast Atlantic Ocean, the waves are rough and the sea wind is howling.
Li Lingyue, the eldest son of the Cao Kingdom, personally led an army of 50,000 people, braved the wind and waves, and crossed the ocean, just to aid the ally Ruiguo and relieve it from the crisis of national subjugation.
Li Lingyue thought of his father's instructions when he left Cao Kingdom.
“My father’s previous information was incomplete, and I didn’t expect the situation in Rui to be so serious.
Su Lei was able to maintain the basic operation of the country despite being riddled with problems.
This situation is worth learning from.
Su Lei's ability in governing the country can only be said to be average.
But this mediocre talent is enough.
Your cousin Su Lei has a lot of things worth learning from you."
Before Li Lingyue left, he also had a long deep talk with his mother.
The queen mother also agreed with her father's statement that his cousin Su Lei was by no means a fool.
With his status, as long as he doesn't act stupidly, the throne is just around the corner.
The queen mother also gave Li Lingyue a task that must be completed.
When the fleet of Cao State's army gradually approached the coast of Rui State.
King Rui Su Lei came to Jiahe Port in person.
He led the officials of Rui State to the dock to greet him.
As the most important ally of Rui State, Cao State gave up its own interests just to support Rui State.
King Rui Su Lei must give Cao Guo enough respect.
They stood on the high slope of Jiahe Port and looked at the fleet gradually becoming clearer on the sea.
The eyes of the officials of Rui Kingdom were full of expectation and shock.
When Cao's army, under the guidance of Rui's army, landed at Jiahe Port.
The mighty warriors of Cao State, who have fought hundreds of battles, walked towards them with neat and powerful steps.
Especially the neatly arranged formation of chariots. The steel behemoths exude a cold and powerful aura, with rolling tracks and deafening roars, giving people an unparalleled shock.
King Rui Su Lei looked at this magnificent army and felt endless gratitude in his heart.
He walked quickly towards Li Lingyue, held his hands tightly with both hands, and said with sincere emotion in his voice: "Cousin, my uncle has helped me so generously, and we, the whole country of Rui, will never be able to repay this kindness. Rui will always remember this kindness.
Heart."
After King Rui Su Lei finished speaking, he wanted to bow to Li Lingyue and Cao Jun.
Li Lingyue hurriedly helped King Su Lei of Rui and said with a smile: "My cousin is serious, allies should help each other and overcome the difficulties together. This is what we should do.
What's more, we are blood relatives and will never sit back and watch the Rui country be destroyed by the enemy."
The officials of Rui State also expressed their gratitude and respect to Li Lingyue and the soldiers of Cao State.
In this difficult moment, Cao's reinforcements were like a ray of dawn, bringing hope and courage to Rui.
Cao's army marched to the front line to cooperate with the Rui army to resist the Shu army.
King Rui Sule invited his cousin to return to Shenglong with him.
He couldn't let his cousin go to the battlefield in person.
With his cousin's level, he also knew that it was a good thing not to cause trouble to the army. If he died on the front line, it would be a big trouble.
…
King Sule of Rui held a banquet in the palace to welcome his cousin.
In the lively atmosphere of the banquet, Li Lingyue, the crown prince of Cao State, raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Cousin, in order to make the friendship between Cao State and Rui State deeper and longer.
I have an extraordinary proposal, I hope my cousin won’t be angry."
King Rui Sulei said politely: "My cousin, it doesn't matter."
Li Lingyue, the crown prince of Cao Kingdom, said: "I propose that the two countries form a friendship between Qin and Jin, and let my cousin marry my biological sister Li Jinyan, Princess Jingyi."
When Rui Wang Su Lei heard this, the smile on his face froze slightly, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
He really didn't expect that his cousin would make this request.
At this moment, Prime Minister Yu Tianfang's expression suddenly changed. He was so anxious that he wanted to stand up and stop the marriage, saying loudly: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!
Scientists from the empire have proven that this is an incestuous marriage, which will endanger future generations and have disastrous consequences!"
Grand Governor Lu Qianjin had been secretly observing everyone's expressions, and he was keenly aware of the unnatural look on the Prime Minister's expression.
Just when the Prime Minister was about to give further advice, Lu Qianjin quickly stood up and stopped him, and lowered his voice and said in the Prime Minister's ear:
"Lao Yu, don't be impulsive.
Now that the country is in danger, it urgently needs Cao Guo's full support.
What is the risk of marrying close relatives?
The Swedish royal family can afford to raise children with possible disabilities, but it’s not like they can’t give birth to healthy children.
Besides, the future heir apparent cannot be them, so there’s no need to be too anxious.”
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang glared at Lu Qianjin, lowered his voice, and said through gritted teeth: "Reckless man, you are so short-sighted! You only look at the present, regardless of the long-term future of the country!"
Lu Qianjin did not give in, but retorted: "Lao Yu, the current situation is urgent, save the country first!"
Rui Wang Sulei sat at the top, looking at the two people arguing with his hands clasped and his expression tangled.
After a long time, he slowly said: "I accept this marriage."
For a moment, the atmosphere at the banquet became extremely solemn, and everyone fell into silence.
But many people breathed a sigh of relief. Switzerland has indeed passed this crisis.
