Alien Arms Empire.

Zhao Chen's life in the past month was really not good. He was worried, even a little panicked, because he was facing a situation that had never happened before.

On the one hand, the Fengjiang direction he was in charge of attacking unexpectedly ceased fire, and it was a good thing for him that the frontline troops began to rest.

This is like a huge vase placed on the battlefield. Both parties must ensure that the vase will not be broken, otherwise no one can bear the responsibility.

Such a strange attacking condition made Zhao Chen's throat stick. He has been making a fuss about this railway, hoping to make the most of this "invincible" bond.

The sad reminder is that because the people below are greedy, the state of the frontline troops is very bad now. It is called rest, but it is depraved, and the combat effectiveness has declined sharply.

As the commander, Zhao Chen intends to manage it, but he can't move any of his subordinates, all of them have connections or backgrounds.

It just so happens that now is a particularly sensitive period. As the commander-in-chief, it is really not easy for him to directly deal with those corrupt moths.

Why not just make a move?This brings us to the second headache for Zhao Chen: His Majesty the Emperor was injured!
Zhao Kai's injury itself was not a major event, but the crown prince Zhao Jili was stunned and rushed back to the imperial capital without knowing what to think.

This was tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest, Zhao Kai was furious, put Zhao Ji under house arrest, and even directly started discussing the matter of waste storage in the court.

Suddenly, the court was unstable, and those princes who had no possibility at all became active one after another.For a while, these rats jumped up and down, making the entire Dahua Empire court hall smoky.

If this incident had happened a year earlier, the officials might have cheered: Zhao Kai abolished Zhao Ji, and then everyone was relieved that Zhao Yu took over, and everyone was happy. The Tang Empire had no excuse. I can go on for another three to five years.

But now that Zhao Yu has become a traitor in Fengjiang, if Zhao Ji falls again, there will only be a pile of mud that cannot support the wall.To expect these princes who have achieved more than failed to succeed in succession, it is better for everyone to disband directly.

What time is it now?There is a strong Qin in the west, and the Great Tang Empire in the east is coveted. If you find someone with a brain, you may be able to persevere. If you find someone who is a little bit stupid, the Dahua Empire will perish in half a year.

Chaos broke out in the court hall, the prime minister resigned for the emperor's approval, and the prince Zhao Ji was placed under house arrest. His Majesty the emperor can only lie in bed to recuperate...

Under such circumstances, your front-line commander replaced Zhao Kai and Zhao Ji, father and son, who had been placed in the army as confidantes. What exactly did you want to do?
Zhao Chen didn't know what he wanted to do, he only knew that if he really wanted to slaughter those emperor's confidantes, he would definitely be labeled as a rebellious prince.

The third thing is also very interesting, because of the chaos in the rear, the amount of supplies has really completely entered a random mode: if Shen Chuan from the Ministry of War asks, then there will be more things, if Shen Shangshu does not ask, then the things will be pitifully small.

Under such circumstances, it was already very difficult to keep the troops from defecting, and Zhao Chen had absolutely nothing to do with the corruption of the troops.

As soon as the time for the ceasefire treaty came, Zhao Chen hurriedly organized an attack around the southern city far away from the railway area, but the attack went wrong.

The two divisions deployed in the front-line cities surrendered directly, and the Dahua troops following the two divisions were divided and surrounded before they could figure out the situation, and then surrendered their guns.

That's right, an entire army, more than 7 troops, together with weapons and ammunition, almost surrendered to the enemy without much fighting.This may be the largest force ever to surrender directly to the enemy without being surrounded by the enemy.

Under the leadership of this army, some of the surrounding Dahua troops also began to surrender. These troops even prepared the white flag, which is called a proficiency.

Immediately afterwards, the Dahua army that came into contact with Fengjiang's troops scrambled to surrender to the enemy: they were afraid that if they were late, they would be transferred away and lost the opportunity to surrender.

"Hello? What does it mean to surrender? Tell me clearly! Explain clearly? Hello? Hello!" The officer holding the phone asked angrily, but there was no answer from the receiver.

On the other side of the table, another officer from the Great Hua Empire was also looking for his troops.The two divisions he commanded were the main force. Before the ceasefire, they were the pacesetters of the offensive, which belonged to the kind of trump card that could be played very well.

But now, someone said that they saw the white flags erected on the positions in charge of these two divisions, and the phone could not be reached. He was trying to find a way to contact his troops. He never believed that his troops would surrender to the enemy so simply... …

"Clarify it to me! A regiment said that it will be gone if it is gone? What are you all doing? Hey! What are you talking about! You bastard!" In the distance, an officer threw the phone receiver on the phone in anger. on board.

The non-commissioned officers and civilians around watched their superiors so crazy in horror, and instinctively felt that the battle situation might really be bad.They were right, because many of the positions in Fengjiang City had problems.

Seeing his subordinates huddling together and even beginning to lose their composure, Zhao Chen gave a wry smile and walked back to his office.

It's not that he didn't tell these commanders that the people below have frequent private exchanges with Fengjiang, but who of these people listens to him?
Every now and then, he used the words that the soldiers were unable to eat to prevaricate Zhao Chen's questioning, and even shifted the responsibility to the purchasing department and transportation department in the rear.

Zhao Chen has no choice, because he has indeed personally checked the supplies of the soldiers. There is no food to eat, and the quality of the things to use is extremely poor... If he investigates the smuggling issue again, the hungry soldiers may directly They mutinied.

The result is that he can't manage these problems, he can only let the problems accumulate little by little, and go deep into the bone marrow.It's all right now, the problem broke out directly, and no one can do anything but let the situation collapse.

In the end, when the chain reaction gradually subsided, Zhao Chen realized that they had fought hard for three months, and almost all of the urban area of ​​Fengjiang that they finally took down was taken back by Fengjiang's troops.

Yes, Zhao Chen lost almost all of Fengjiang city... They must call back now, at least before the bad news is sent back to the imperial capital!
All the generals under Zhao Chen were like bereaved dogs, and now they finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

The court itself was already in chaos, and when the news of their defeat on the front line spread back, His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and it was very likely that he would kill a few chickens to scare the rest of the monkeys.

"General... No! My lord! Save the officer! Save the lowly rank!" A military officer broke into Zhao Chen's office and knelt on the ground with a mournful face.He also knew that he lost tens of thousands of people, and lost the main defense area in the city. This responsibility is definitely enough to kill him.So at this moment, he could only come to Zhao Chen and let him give him a way out.

If Zhao Chen really didn't give him face, then his whole family would probably die.Therefore, the general who kneels is called proficient, and the one who kneels is called straightforward.

"Get up! How flustered do you look!" Zhao Chen walked over to help the snot-faced poor guy, but before he could help him up, a second person broke in and knelt on the ground.

People rushed in one after another, everyone knelt on the ground, and Zhao Chen no longer had the idea to help them up.

So Zhao Chen could only walk back to his seat, looked at the senior generals kneeling in front of him, and asked, "Then...all of you, what do you want me to do?"

"My lord... my little ones are bold, please allow me to make meritorious deeds, my lord, ten days! No! Five days! We will definitely regain the lost position!" The leading general quickly bowed his head and expressed their thoughts Come.

That's right, their idea is very simple: let's hide this kind of thing first, and then everyone will regain the lost position, and then we will talk about it!
But Zhao Chen knew that most of the generals kneeling in front of him didn't have many troops in their hands.So he asked out of curiosity, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.

As a result, when he heard this, he became even more annoyed: this group of people planned to borrow people from the follow-up troops: the follow-up troops sent people to fight, and the vacant positions were just paid for.And they borrowed troops to fight back, at most they lost a few money, at least their heads were saved.

Zhao Chen, who was so angry and laughed back, finally saved face for these people: After all, many of them are Zhao Kai's people, and things really got serious, and he, Zhao Chen, cannot escape responsibility, and he will definitely be dealt with by Zhao Kai.So Zhao Chen simply played badly, and it is really good to have him and me, and everyone is good.

The funny thing is still to come: these generals who were ready to commit crimes and meritorious deeds went to the rear troops to borrow people, but found that these rear troops already had a lot of empty pay.The most ruthless local troops can't even make up a battalion of troops in a regiment.

In the end, this plan had to be abandoned, and the generals of the Great China Empire shamelessly went to discuss with the Fengjiang defenders behind Zhao Chen's back.

They paid money, even took a large part of the supplies and arms to pay off the debt, and bought back part of the lost part of Fengjiang city...

You read that right, they paid to buy a part of the city that had been turned into ruins and went to work.Then Zhao Chen had to sign the battle report they wrote, acknowledging that in the past two days, the Fengjiang rebels counterattacked violently, causing huge losses to both sides, and many troops of the Great Hua Army suffered heavy losses...
