After pondering for a long time, Jiang Chen stood up, looked around at the senior officials of the military government, and said slowly.
"NAC has been peaceful for too long."
Chu Nan sighed inwardly.
When he heard this sentence, he probably already guessed Jiang Chen's choice.
However, there was no dissatisfaction in his heart. Even if he didn't agree with the choice to open up a battlefront to the north, he would execute Jiang Chen's order without reservation.
The military government had no bureaucrats, only soldiers. And the order of a soldier was to obey his superiors. This was beyond doubt.
"I know that war is not a good thing, and I also know that NAC needs time to recuperate." After a pause, Jiang Chen raised his voice and continued, "But living space never grows by itself. We can't hope that CCCP knows when to stop. We are rich, rich, and the survivors on the other side of the Pacific Ocean have heard about it. If we don't solve the problem outside, then the problem will come to us. I believe that all of you understand the principle of being in the same boat. "
"Not for the sake of our alliance with the Gravekeeper Sect, but for our own sake.
"NAC needs a war."
"Now."
Jiang Chen responded to the eyes that were staring at him and said word by word.
Peace had lasted for too long. After NAC's territory expanded to Wu City, it stopped expanding. It was not only the soldiers who slacked off, but also every survivor under NAC's rule. In fact, from the beginning of the baby boom, Jiang Chen faintly noticed something.
It was precisely because of the same reason that he had the idea of "always feeling something was missing" during the military exercise.
It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Chen finally understood what he was missing.
NAC's army was still sharp, but the unstoppable blade lacked a hint of blood.
Long-term peace had begun to rust the huge war machine of NAC. With the gradual recovery of civilization, survivors even began to forget that they were in the wasteland and not in the good times before the war.
War was the main theme of this wasteland.
Only war could sweep away the mottled rust and let NAC, the beast born for war, rejuvenate its vitality.
As soon as Jiang Chen finished, Cheng Weiguo immediately stood up, looked excited, and cupped his fists.
"I, Cheng, am willing to lead the First Division into battle. I will definitely not disappoint you!"
"The First Army can't be moved." Jiang Chen shook his head. "Your mission is to build coastal defense towers and deploy defense lines along the coast."
"But …" Cheng Weiguo looked a little anxious.
"There's no need to say anything else. I've already made up my mind." Jiang Chen raised his hand and interrupted Cheng Weiguo's words. "This time, I will personally lead the troops to the north!"
…
War!
When the notice of war was posted on the bulletin board, the expression on every NAC survivor's face was not gloomy, but excitement.
That's right, he was excited!
Countless powerful opponents stood in front of NAC, but without exception, they were defeated by the General. Now that the Marshal had decided to personally lead the army, almost no one thought about the possibility of failure. In everyone's hearts, the Marshal's name signified victory.
The survivors lined up in front of the recruitment point, looking at the front of the line with anticipation, just to become a member of the expeditionary army. With a pocket full of war bonds, the merchants walked out of the crowded banks with satisfaction.
Under the stimulation of stacks of arms orders, the military factory at the Sixth Street seemed to be wound up and operated to the limit.
From workers to soldiers, every gear on the NAC war machine began to operate frantically under the command of war, and the entire land trembled. Within three days, 5,000 reserves were mobilized and assembled in the northern suburbs of Wanghai. Once Jiang Chen gave the order, they could board the airship and head north.
Of course, not everyone liked this war.
For example, the women of Jiang Chen's family, especially Sun Jiao, were full of unspeakable resentment that Jiang Chen had to leave after only two days.
"It's not easy to come back. Can't you just stay at home for a few days?" The originally delicious food lost its taste. Sun Jiao put her chopsticks on the bowl, held her chin with one hand, and sighed with resentment.
At dinner time, the table that was supposed to be full of joy was stained with a hint of dullness. Even Lin Lin, who always expressed her approval of Yao Yao's cooking by wolfing down her food, slowed down her chopsticks.
"It's not that I don't want to stay at home, but the trouble came too suddenly." Jiang Chen shrugged helplessly.
"Can't you send someone else? For example, send Han Junhua. She's good at this. "Sun Jiao didn't give up.
"It can only be me." Jiang Chen shook his head. "To maintain the prestige of the general, I must do something. I've been sitting behind the scenes for too long. It's time to come out. "
Sun Jiao let out a sigh and didn't try to persuade him anymore. She knew what kind of person her man was. Although he was usually easygoing and would let her do whatever she wanted, when it came to principles, no matter how powerful she was, it was useless.
"Be careful."
"Mhmm." Jiang Chen responded to Sun Jiao with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry too much. It's not like you don't know my ability."
Sun Jiao's eyes were red as she stared at Jiang Chen and said fiercely.
"It's because I know that I'm afraid you'll do something stupid!"
Jiang Chen looked at Sun Jiao blankly and looked back at her eyes filled with deep concern. A smile then appeared on his face.
"Absolutely not, I promise you."
Yao Yao pouted and buried her head in her food.
Lin Lin rolled her eyes and exaggeratedly stuck out her tongue. She turned her head away from the two people who were staring at each other.
For a moment, the table fell into a quiet atmosphere.
Eerily quiet.
Just then, Sun Xiaorou, who didn't speak, tilted her head and suddenly broke the silence.
"Speaking of this … this expedition, who's going with brother-in-law?"
The table was completely silent and soon fell into a deeper silence than before. Even Lin Lin put down her chopsticks.
Yao Yao quietly raised her head and peeked at Jiang Chen. She quickly pretended that she didn't care as her eyes escaped outside the window.
With her hands under her chin, Xiaorou smiled at Jiang Chen who seemed to have been petrified.
Who should I choose?
Jiang Chen's expression was slightly awkward. He already noticed the unnatural smell in the air.
It doesn't seem to be a good choice …
At this moment, his eyes met with Xiaorou's smiling face.
Behind her, he seemed to see the tail of a little devil waving at him.
Jiang Chen suddenly realized what was going on as he was speechless.
This girl, she definitely did it on purpose!
But fortunately, she didn't continue to make things difficult for Jiang Chen.
With a devil-like smile, Sun Xiaorou's index finger tapped on her lower lip as she naturally changed the topic.
"Well … Anyway, let's wash the dishes first?"
