Chapter 1706: The Son of Heaven Guards the Gate of the Country
"The eternal traitor has resurrected from the dead and raided the gate of Houcheng in the middle of the night!"
"The rebellious ministers of the Wolf Kingdom colluded with foreign enemies to occupy the Houcheng war zone!"
"In the past, the prince-in-law announced to 80 million people that he was back."
"Shangguan Hu once again won the support of three war zones and 100,000 bear soldiers."
"The number one tiger in the wolf kingdom led an army of 400,000 people north to the side of King Qin Qing."
"The Eternal Warmaster will arrive in his most loyal imperial city in three days!"
In the Wolf Kingdom, the Royal Palace, and the multi-functional conference room, Huang Wuji looked at a series of news and banged the table.
"I'm not dead yet, and the main force hasn't been hurt yet, but these media are just following the wind and fanning the flames. Do you think my sword is not sharp enough?"
"And you war department wastes."
"It doesn't matter if your thoughts are not up to par, you will always have to muddle along."
"Every day I tell you that it is better to buy than to make, and it is better to outsource R&D."
"Okay, I've all listened to you, what's the result?"
"From the medium- and long-range air defense systems to the smart laser guns of the Guards, they can only fire on their own people, but they can't hurt a single hair of the bear soldiers."
Having said this, he picked up a laser gun that required fingerprint input.
Face a pair of bear soldiers armor in the corner and pull the trigger hard.
As a result, the gun could not move. No matter how hard Huang Wuji tried, the trigger was rigid and could not fire at all.
Then, Huang Wuji turned his head and shot at the vase in another corner.
There was a bang, a red light shot out, and the one-meter-high vase shattered instantly, turning into a pile of powder and falling to the ground.
There is a fist-sized hole on the back of the vase.
The lethality is huge.
Prince Haba nearby was so frightened that he fell to the ground. He got up and patted his waist in embarrassment, then hid in another chair.
"What do you think is the use of this laser gun bought for 100 million?"
Huang Wuji threw the gun on the table with a bang and said angrily: "Using it to deal with the bear soldiers is worse than a brick."
The chief of staff, Liu Zhixin and all the senior war department officials all bowed their heads.
"Do you know why the three theaters surrendered to Shangguan Hu? Do you know why the five theaters remain neutral?"
Huang Wuji stood up, put his hands behind his back and shouted at everyone:
"It's not that they have no blood, nor that they are closer to Shangguan Hu, but the weapons in their hands have lost their offensive effect."
"Thousands of guns can either fail to shoot at the bear soldiers, or they can recognize them and avoid them. How can we fight this?"
"The reason why this kind of evil happens is because of you bastards who 'make it better than buy it'."
"Of course, I am also a bastard. Otherwise, how could I believe your lies that it is better to buy than to make?"
"So I don't hate the soldiers who took refuge with Shangguan Hu, I hate you and myself."
Huang Wuji scolded him angrily, but his eyes fell more on a tall and handsome middle-aged man.
Prince Gong, who is also Lang Duoduo’s father, is also a representative of the idea that making is worse than buying.
"Master, this is my fault."
Feeling Huang Wuji's gaze, Prince Gong stood up and said in an indifferent voice:
"In the past hundred years, the Wolf Kingdom has fought four wars, and each time it was almost destroyed."
"Not only has the dignity of the royal family disappeared, but the lives of the people have also become increasingly difficult."
"I sympathize with the 80 million people and don't want to invest hundreds of billions in research and development when everyone has no food to eat."
"After all, research and development does not require money and time. It is possible to spend hundreds of billions for decades and still have nothing to show for it."
"In that case, not only will our strength not improve, but our people will also suffer even worse."
"So I have always advocated and supported Shangguan Hu and others to purchase overseas systems and equipment to arm themselves."
"It's just that I didn't expect that the Xiong people would be so shameless and leave backdoors in their equipment and systems."
"I am willing to bear this responsibility. Even if my body is broken into pieces, I will not complain."
Prince Gong looked like he was dead, which reduced Huang Wuji's anger by three points.
"Your Majesty, Prince Gong, the second-in-command of the war department, has indeed neglected his duties."
A woman in uniform stepped forward to the rescue: "But this is also a collective decision-making error. We cannot blame him entirely."
"And now is not the time for us to pursue responsibility. The top priority is to defeat Shangguan Hu..."
She was worried: "Otherwise, he will come to the city soon."
"Defeat Shangguan Hu?"
Another round-faced man hummed:
"He now has 400,000 troops and 100,000 invincible bear soldiers. Heavy firepower and smart weapons are ineffective against them."
"Let's not say we were defeated. It would be good if we could hold on to the imperial city."
"No, this imperial city will probably not be able to be defended. It will be defeated by Shangguan Hu in a week at most."
"This is still the case when Shangguan Hu and others do not dispatch fighter planes due to public opinion considerations."
"Otherwise, if they fly over the Imperial City and our air defense system is useless, why not stab the plane with a bamboo pole?"
There was a pessimism in his eyes, and he obviously had no confidence in defeating Shangguan Hu.
"My lord, we can no longer fight. We can only negotiate for a good result."
Prince Gong hesitated for a moment: "Shangguan Hu is also a relative of the emperor. I believe he will save our face..."
Everyone present nodded, and many advocated peace talks.
"Report!"
Just when Huang Wuji frowned, an intelligence officer rushed into the conference room:
"Your Majesty, Shangguan Hu has issued another announcement."
"Their intention to go north to King Qin this time is not to overthrow the royal family, but to remove the villain from his side."
"Shangguan Hu said that if the king of the country can behead the bride in public, he is willing to consider sitting down and having peace talks with the king of the country."
Out of breath, he handed the latest copy of the CD to Liu Zhixin and the others.
"What? Shangguan Hu is willing to sit down and negotiate?"
"Great, this way we don't have to fight with you."
"Yeah, sit down, now is our best way out."
"Master, promise him, promise him..."
When dozens of people present saw Shangguan Hu's announcement, they were immediately relieved and elated, and a stone fell in their hearts.
For them, who are rich and well-off, it doesn't matter who is the leader of the country or who suffers humiliation. The important thing is that their own interests will not be lost.
Fighting is what they hate most.
But everyone quickly fell silent again.
They saw Shangguan Hu's request.
Beheading the bride in public?
Is she Song Hongyan, the righteous daughter whom Killer Emperor Wuji just recognized?
This was a great shame and humiliation for Huang Wuji.
Moreover, Ye Fan went out of his way to kill the two major clans Shentu and Shangguan because of Song Hongyan, which shows that Song Hongyan was his enemy.
Attacking Song Hongyan would have difficult consequences.
"Shangguan Hu is really a fucking character."
Huang Wuji suddenly laughed wildly, resounding throughout the multi-functional conference room:
"I just imitated Wu Sangui in letting the Qing troops enter the Pass in the early morning, and now he's going to stage a rebellion in Maweiyi to force Concubine Yang to death?"
"It's a pity that this king is not Tang Xuanzong, and Song Hongyan is not Yang Guifei."
Huang Wuji looked contemptuous: "Shangguan Hu wanted to slap me in the face, but I didn't do what he wanted."
"Lord of the country!"
Prince Gong knelt down with a plop: "It concerns the safety of the royal family and the life and death of millions of people. Please kill Song Hongyan!"
Dozens of soldiers also knelt down and said: "Lord, please kill Song Hongyan!"
Although Ye Fan is very scary and the pressure from China is not small, compared with the imminent Shangguan Hu, killing Song Hongyan is the best way.
"Shut up!"
"You are all people who have been working hard at the top for many years, and you have also dealt with Guan Hu for decades."
Huang Wuji's face darkened, he kicked the palace prince and shouted:
"Don't you still know his true nature?"
"The Shentu and Shangguan clans were wiped out. Shangguan Hu fell from the altar and killed Song Hongyan. Will he have a good peace negotiation? Can he lie to you or me?"
"Believe it or not, after killing Song Hongyan, he will let us kill the children of the Wu League."
"After killing the disciples of the Martial Alliance, Ye Fan will be killed."
"The pressure was put on us step by step, and our relationship with Ye Fan and Shenzhou was broken step by step. In the end, we were cornered and had to surrender and rely on them."
"This is the bad taste of Shangguan tiger cat catching mice."
"Even if Shangguan Hu surrenders in the end, he can kick me out and kill us with the help of Ye Fan and Shenzhou."
"So killing Song Hongyan is just drinking poison to quench thirst, and will also lose the last bit of dignity of the royal family."
"You can live an ignoble life, but I can't because I am the head of a country."
Huang Wuji held his head high, then looked at Liu Zhixin: "Where is Ye Fan now?"
Liu Zhixin squeezed out a sentence: "We can't contact him, but we can locate Wolf Country No. 1. He took a detour from Xiang Country."
"Okay, very good, try to contact him. Don't worry, I will protect Song Hongyan."
Huang Wuji took a step forward and gave an order to the chief of staff and others:
"Call Shangguan Hu back. Hongyan is my adopted daughter, half a princess of the royal family."
"I will never kill Song Hongyan to satisfy the wishes of rebellious ministers and traitors."
"In this battle, the emperor will guard the country and the king will die!"
