Zhang Yi looked at his back with a happy smile on his face.
On the surface, Zhang Yi still looks calm and collected, but in fact, his heart has long been filled with ups and downs.
Attacking the Japanese country and its accomplice in the invasion of China, South Korea, has been a dream of his for many years. It used to be just a thought, but now it is different. He has such strength.
"This matter won't go so smoothly, will it, Chairman Zhang?" Fu Xiang said suddenly.
"What do you mean, Chief of Staff?" Xiao Liu was surprised and asked loudly, "Things haven't started yet, how do you know it won't go well?"
"Oh, please don't be angry, Princess," Fu Xiang nodded and bowed, smiling, "I just think that the Korean Peninsula borders Greater China, and they definitely don't want Chairman Zhang to get involved. This is different from directly attacking Japan. Overseas places
We can do whatever we want, and besides, there are huge benefits.”
"So that's what you think!" Xiao Liu puffed up her cheeks and didn't know what to say. She turned to look at Zhang Yi and saw that Fu Xiang's statement made some sense.
Zhang Yi chuckled, thinking that Liu'er was still naive. He didn't realize that Fu Xiang himself wanted to prevent Old China and Greater China from attacking the Korean Peninsula. Why? Because South Korea is relatively wealthy, and it is obviously much more cost-effective than attacking the Ryukyu Islands.
People are selfish and always think about their own interests.
Zhang Yi doesn't want to say anything to Xiang Duo. He is not bad, but it is difficult to open up the situation.
"Chief of Staff Fu, I will communicate with Greater China to confirm the expedition to South Korea. We are both committed to solving the Ryukyu Islands issue."
"Yes, Chairman Zhang, I'm just reminding you."
"I would also like to remind you, Chief of Staff, that attacking the Ryukyu Islands and the Korean Peninsula is all preparation for the final attack on Japan. We should put our interests second."
"Yes, you are right." Fu Xiang did not dare to look directly into Zhang Yi's eyes and said with shame, "Speaking of the Ryukyu Islands, they are all occupied by Japanese pirates. They wantonly enslave and exploit the local Chinese. We should have rescued our compatriots long ago.
"
"You are right to think so, Chief of Staff." Xiaoliu said, "Looking from the map, Ryukyu is not small, just like a string of pearls scattered on the sea..."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess's speech was very poetic," Fu Xiang praised, "The vast ocean, the beautiful archipelago, and the scenery are completely different from the Loess Plateau. As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess is not afraid of seasickness, you can enjoy a different kind of scenery!"
"Look what you said, how could I get seasick, haha." Xiaoliu said nonchalantly.
"Haha, okay, then, I will go and ask the leader for instructions now. I think this matter will go smoothly." Fu Xiang stood up and said goodbye.
Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu sent him out.
…
"Brother Yi, do you think I will get seasick?" Xiao Liu grabbed Zhang Yi's arm and leaned on him and asked.
"Well, let alone you, even I might get seasick." Zhang Yi said with a wry smile, "We are all inland people and are used to stepping on solid ground. We will definitely not adapt to the bumpy ship."
"Then what should we do, won't we let others laugh at us?" Xiao Liu said depressedly.
"If you don't want to be laughed at, you have to do hard training," Zhang Yi suddenly thought and said, "All personnel participating in the expedition have started training in the past few days to adapt to the bumps."
"How do you train? Are you swaying like a drunk?"
As he spoke, Xiao Liu imitated Zhang Yi's behavior when he was drunk and staggered around.
Zhang Yi laughed and said: "It's useless to swing by yourself, we can make equipment."
He described how a cloth or rope net was hung on a movable wooden or iron frame, and people stood on it and experienced the impact of the swinging equipment.
Those who cannot adapt to long-term turbulence will definitely not be able to ride on the ship. This is also an important means of screening the expeditionary force.
"Smart, Yige, let's do it this way!" Xiaoliu said happily, "Then do you plan to conquer Korea first, or Ryukyu first? In addition, which generals do you plan to bring with us on the expedition?"
"Let me think twice, Liu'er." Zhang Yi said.
Things always advance step by step. Zhang Yi needs further thinking before he can make a decision on the question raised by Xiao Liu.
…
Niu Ben and Shi Gandang were ordered to rush back to Chang'an to attend the military meeting.
Shi Gandang had a long way to go and was the last one to arrive.
Zhang Yi, Xiaolong, Xiao Han, Niu Ben and Shi Gandang were discussing matters in the palace study, while Xiaoliu made tea and took notes.
"Little fat man, why have you lost a lot of weight?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile.
The people present today are all my brothers, so we can speak freely.
"That's right, our General Shi looks much more mature and more and more manly." Xiao Liu laughed and patted him on the shoulder like Zhang Yi did.
Shi Gandang's eyes were wet, but he smiled and said: "I was ordered by my sworn brother to guard the land of Bashu. I train soldiers every day and I don't dare to slack off. But, at night, I miss my brother and sister-in-law, hey!"
It's like sending a little brother to the frontier.
Everyone couldn't help but feel sad. Shi Gandang had absolutely no intention of complaining, but he was still young and was quite attached to his brother and sister-in-law. This was a fact.
"Stop talking, little fat man," Niu Ben almost burst into tears, "How about this, let's switch, you go to Ankang, and I go to Nanchong."
"Are you kidding, Brother Niu?" Shi Gandang shouted, "Sister-in-law Anu is about to give birth, so you are asked to run to Nanchong alone? Hey, don't make any random ideas!"
Niu Ben had good intentions, but the idea was so ridiculous that everyone laughed.
"Xiao Shi just wants to come back, okay, Yi Ge will announce some good news today, just listen with your ears open." Xiao Liu said with a smile.
Everyone quickly looked at Yi Ge and couldn't wait to urge him to speak.
"That's it, brothers," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Before we go on an expedition to the Japanese country, we must first cut off their minions. I plan to cooperate with Greater China and Little China respectively to capture South Korea and the Ryukyu Islands. We are going to form a team This is a question of who will serve as the general of the Eastern Expeditionary Force."
OK, the action started as soon as it started, and the brothers were all gearing up.
"Brother Yi, just appoint whoever will be the general. Let me be the vanguard and kill the enemy like shit!" Niu Ben asked for his order.
"Brother Niu is not suitable to be a pioneer, so let me do it. I don't have anything to worry about. Hahaha, this is the advantage of not having a family." Shi Gandang said with a smile.
"You're wrong, little fat man. I already have a son, so what else do I have to worry about? When you have a son too, come and fight with me again!" Niu Ben raised his head and laughed.
Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at Niu Ben carefully. His mind was getting brighter and brighter, and his rebuttals were well-founded.
"Daniu, how can you be sure that Anu will give you a son? You don't want to favor sons over daughters, that's wrong!" Xiaoliu said in a serious tone, "Don't argue, let your step brother decide!"
