Chapter 234 One hundred thousand tons of cold iron
???
"If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Yang Xuan said lightly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. Zheng Tianqi seemed to be hesitating about something, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I want to ask you and the 100,000 Xuanzi Army under your command to do a favor!"
"You must also know that although we seem to be peaceful, it is because there are too many people carrying a heavy burden for this country and its people."
"The northern territory is particularly ferocious. We have fought numerous battles with the northern territory, large and small, and they have not stopped for more than ten years. Especially in the past three years, the situation has been extremely severe."
"We are not afraid of war, let alone our opponents, but as long as it is a war, it is a serious drain on national strength."
"Our land is now in a period of unprecedented rapid development. During this period, we must not easily and rashly launch a large-scale war."
"But the challenges to us in the North are increasing day by day, so I beg you to do something to help us."
After saying these words, Zheng Tianqi bit his lip gently. Only he knew the weight of what he said.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, in less than a second, he heard the other party respond calmly, "Okay, I can immediately mobilize a hundred thousand Xuanzi troops and send them to the north immediately!"
"What did you say!"
Zheng Tianqi's face hardened. He never expected that the other party would agree so readily?
Moreover, he also said that all 100,000 Xuanzi troops would be mobilized, which was far beyond his expectation.
Before he said these words, he was mentally prepared to be rejected by the other party.
The best ideal result is that the other party can mobilize 20,000 to 30,000 Xuanzi troops, which is already very good.
"I said, I can issue an order right now for one hundred thousand Xuanzi troops to immediately go to the northern border and serve as the main attack echelon to drive those grandsons back to their hometown at once."
Yang Xuan repeated lightly.
Zheng Tianqi's wrists trembled again, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "But...our...our past, do you really not care about me anymore?"
Back then, the army led by Zheng Tianqi and Yang Xuan's Xuanzi Army were once the closest allies.
However, due to some force majeure factor, Zheng Tianqi suddenly made a move behind Yang Xuan. If Yang Xuan and Xuan Zijun had not reacted quickly, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Later, Yang Xuan also launched a crazy revenge against Zheng Tianqi, putting Zheng Tianqi in deep siege several times. In the end, Yang Xuan took the initiative to stop, otherwise if the incident got bigger, most of the planet would probably be involved in the war one after another.
Zheng Tianqi's shocking white hair turned white in those few days.
Logically speaking, Yang Xuan should hold grudges, but I didn't expect that he would agree so readily.
"I care about it, of course I care about it. It's not like you don't know who I am!"
Yang Xuan said carelessly, "I am a narrow-minded person, and any flaws will be repaid. When you sided with me, if I hadn't run fast, I would have fallen into your hands with my one hundred thousand Xuanzi army."
"To be honest, I'm still quite angry when I think about that incident, but do you know why I suddenly stopped taking revenge on you later?"
"Why?"
Zheng Tianqi asked, this question has been bothering him for many years.
At first he played tricks on Yang Xuan, but later Yang Xuan launched a crazy revenge on him, causing Zheng Tianqi to suffer a lot.
Several times, he was surrounded on all sides and trapped in tight siege, but every time, Yang Xuan would choose to withdraw his troops suddenly.
This made Zheng Tianqi puzzled. It was completely inconsistent with Yang Xuan's ruthless style of military use.
"Listen, everything I did today was just because you are a Chinese soldier!"
Yang Xuan said lightly.
"Because I am a Chinese soldier?"
Zheng Tianqi was even more confused. What does this have to do with him being a Chinese soldier?
"Zheng Tianqi, I'll leave it to you."
Yang Xuan sighed softly, "If you were not a Chinese soldier, I would have wiped you out in those ambush attacks a few years ago."
"But although I am a petty person, I can still distinguish right from wrong. Although I, Yang Xuan, have been abroad, I am also a Chinese, and I also have the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang flowing in my body!"
"I have never forgotten who my ancestors were. Personally speaking, I hate you, you despicable and shameless person."
"But from the perspective of the overall situation and the national interest, your choice was right. If I were you, I would also kill Yang Xuan."
"You are an excellent commander. China needs talents like you to protect the country and its people. I cannot do anything that would be unworthy of my own country just for personal grudges."
"I agreed to send troops this time. To be honest, it has nothing to do with you. There has been war in the north for a long time. Those Sun Tzu have done it again and again. It's time to teach them a lesson."
"I know the current situation of our land. I understand what you just said. With the strength of our country, it will be easy to deal with them."
"But now we are in a stage of rapid development, and there are more powerful enemies in the West. We must not easily launch war at this time."
"The gang of grandsons in the north have taken advantage of us and have repeatedly invaded our border. This time I have to let them taste the evil consequences they have sown. As long as they are not beaten back to their hometown, my 100,000 Xuanzi army will annihilate them. Don’t retreat!”
Zheng Tianqi looked solemn and did not speak for a long time.
After listening to Yang Xuan quietly, he put his feet together and gave a serious military salute to the phone.
At this moment, he looked at Yang Xuan, an ordinary-looking young man, with great respect again.
Before that, he thought Yang Xuan was a mercenary, and mercenaries only saw profit.
But I never expected that although this young man grew up abroad, he would have such a noble feeling for his family and country!
"Mr. Yang, on behalf of the country and the people, thank you!"
Zheng Tianqi asked, "Then when do you think we will send out troops?"
"Sending troops is very simple. I only need an order."
Yang Xuan suddenly changed his tone and said, "But before that, I want to ask you to do two things."
"You said that as long as I am within my capabilities, I will do my best!"
Zheng Tianqi said without hesitation.
"Well, first of all, can you help me get 100,000 tons of cold iron? In the bitter cold land of the north, ice caps frozen for millions of years are everywhere. I think this shouldn't be a difficult task for you. .”
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and said.
"One hundred thousand tons of cold iron!"
Zheng Tianqi's eyes widened instantly, this is a lion's mouth!
"Why do you want so much cold iron?"
Zheng Tianqi was very puzzled. Cold iron was a very strange thing. It could only be produced in extremely cold places. It was a rare mineral, and its ownership belonged to the state. Private mining was never allowed.
Moreover, the output of this kind of thing is rare, and the growth environment is extremely harsh. It takes hundreds of thousands of years in the frozen land to grow even a little bit.
