Let you change the Hongqi h9, not the Hongqi missile vehicle

Ye Linglong smiled gently. Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen felt somewhat embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Ye Linglong had already walked to Jiang Chen's side.

"It's normal for men to have needs; it just means you're still a normal man."

"But I'm not bad looking either, and I was one of the first to work with you in Southeast State. If that woman got a good deal, why can't I?"

"I'm all alone, and I just hope I can find someone to rely on."

Ye Linglong placed her hands on Jiang Chen's shoulders, her intentions quite clear.

Jiang Chen reluctantly removed her hand.

"How can that be? You're my subordinate. How can I have an office romance with my own subordinate? That's not appropriate."

Jiang Chen shook his head; he simply couldn't do such a thing.

"That's easy. I'll just quit my job. You can support me from now on. I won't be an assassin anymore. It'll be nice to be a little woman by your side."

Ye Linglong smiled.

Being able to stay by Jiang Chen's side and be a sweet, dependent woman is actually quite nice.

Ye Linglong was never a narcissistic person, but she knew she was beautiful and believed she was no less beautiful than Meng Tianshi, and in terms of figure, she far surpassed her.

Why is it that Meng Tianshi has such good fortune while I don't?

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen still refused, and the reason for his refusal almost drove Ye Linglong to the brink of collapse.

"That won't do either. You're the third-in-command of Southeast Prefecture."

"If you quit your job, it will be a huge loss. You still have a lot of useful skills."

This woman is acting strangely today.

Jiang Chen was somewhat helpless. He had never seen her so lovestruck before. Could it be that she was really lonely?
But at least he's one of my top lieutenants now.

Jiang Chen patiently explained it to him.

Well, it seems I'll never have a chance in this lifetime.

Ye Linglong's lips twitched slightly.

That stinky man, he's so annoying.

"Alright, I'm getting down to business. No jokes, no playing around with you, Jiang Chen, you'd better listen carefully."

Ye Linglong quickly composed herself and spoke calmly.

“Meng Tianshi is no simple woman. You’ve probably fallen for her honey trap this time.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately laughed and shook his head.

“I admit that Meng Tianshi is a very scheming woman, especially smart. She is willing to sacrifice everything for her own ambition, but what does that have to do with my honey trap?”

"She can't hurt me yet. I'm actually quite enjoying this honey trap."

"You're not actually jealous, are you? That's not like you."

Ye Linglong ignored that comment and continued speaking.

"Have you forgotten who I am? I'm an assassin. Women understand women best. From the moment that woman first came into contact with you, I knew she was cunning and scheming."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen paused for a moment, his thoughts slowly settling down.

At this moment, Jiang Chen also recalled.

This woman seemed to have ulterior motives when she approached him from the very beginning.

At least up to now, she has benefited a lot from me, that's an indisputable fact.

"Did you find something?"

Jiang Chen looked at Ye Linglong with a calm expression.

Ye Linglong didn't hide anything.

"Of course, otherwise do you think I came to you to flirt?"

Ye Linglong smiled faintly.

“When she first arrived, I kept an eye on her, followed her, and even put a tracking device on her.”

"Guess what I found?"

Jiang Chen was no longer in the mood to listen to her playing coy.

"Alright, hurry up and tell me, this is a big deal."

Ye Linglong told the truth.

"She's colluded with the people of the Dead Lands. I'm not sure what the specifics of the deal are, but now that the Dead Lands dare to attack us, do you think this woman has nothing to do with it?"

After speaking, Ye Linglong placed a document in front of Jiang Chen.

"You'd better take a look at this yourself; this woman is dangerous."

"From the moment she got close to you, it was all part of her plan. Even if she offered herself to you, it was just another step in her scheme. You've fallen for it this time."

After saying that, Ye Linglong left without saying anything more.

Jiang Chen opened the document and began to read it carefully.

This one look was significant; after reading the entire content...

Jiang Chen's heart sank.

It turns out I really did fall for it.

This is indeed evidence of communication between Meng Tianshi and the people of the Dead Land.

The above is a code word.

But Jiang Chen no longer cared what they were talking about.

"Hehe, things seem to be getting interesting."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

He admitted that the result was unexpected.

But that's precisely what makes it even more exciting.

In the following week.

Although Jarrej's defensive measures for the Southeast were well arranged.

But he was, after all, just a mercenary and had no experience in large-scale warfare.

Southeastern Prefecture covers a vast area.

Because the battle had already begun.

During this week, a major offensive was launched against the southeastern state.

They had a clear mind and seemed to know everything about the defenses in the southeastern state.

Wherever they went, everything was under their control.

In just half a month.

The people of the Desolate Land have already occupied one-third of Jiang Chen's territory.

Extremely fast.

"Those damn bastards, there must be a mole among us, otherwise, how could they know our defenses so well?"

After two weeks of confrontation.

Jia Leijie suffered many defeats!
The other party has an extremely comprehensive understanding of their situation.

In addition, the weapons used in the Dead Zone are very advanced.

The equipment includes airships, anti-aircraft guns, special forces, and even long-range missiles, as well as support from military bases around Southeastern State.

From the very beginning of the battle, Jarej's troops had no chance of winning. They were routed and even surrendered.

Jarej had indeed never experienced such a large-scale battle.

But this does not mean that he was destined to be beaten so badly.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Jia Leijie's self-esteem.

So what if we don't have experience in large-scale operations?

Jia Leijie has always been very confident in his abilities.

However, this time, he felt deeply wronged.

He had clearly made thorough preparations.

But the enemy seemed to know everything about them in advance, leaving them powerless to fight back.

This was not a battle situation that could be reversed by the outstanding command skills of just one person.

After nearly half a month of fighting.

Jiang Chen suffered extremely heavy losses.

The original force of over 70,000 has now dwindled to only 40,000.

Almost half of it was destroyed.

The population of Southeastern State is actually not small.

However, not many people can become soldiers and have combat capabilities.

Most of them are local residents.

It's already quite remarkable that these people survived.

They were barely managing to survive.

Southeast Prefecture was a dilapidated place to begin with.

The people here have long lost their faith in the nation.

They struggled just to survive.

This stands in stark contrast to other regions.

But obviously, they can't be blamed for this.

After all, this place has been plagued by constant warfare for many years.

The change of state and power can happen at any time.

They were already used to it.

Unlike other countries, it was able to stay stable for a long time.

To them, Jiang Chen, this ruler, was just one of many rulers.

There's not much difference in essence. So naturally, they wouldn't feel any sense of belonging to Jiang Chen.

They only care about their own interests and survival.

So he wanted these people to join Jiang Chen's team to fight against his enemies.

That is clearly impossible. Therefore, although the Southeast Prefecture has a large population.

However, there are very few people who can be of use to Jiang Chen.

Among these tens of millions of people.

Jiang Chen was only able to mobilize a mere tens of thousands of people.

"Jiang Chen, you need to give me a reasonable explanation for this."

“There is a mole among us, and your task is to find that mole.”

At this moment, Jia Leijie stormed in.

Ye Lingling also stood to the side with a gloomy expression.

They lost too many people during this period.

The headquarters' troop strength has now been drastically reduced.

If we continue fighting like this without taking any action...

They will soon be swallowed up by the enemy.

Perhaps Jiang Chen is hiding some other tricks.

But now the situation is settled.

If the opponent is allowed to gain an absolute advantage.

Even if Jiang Chen deployed the advanced weaponry and equipment from the space city.

This will only lead to conflicts in multiple areas.

Other countries will not stand idly by while Jiang Chen's space city forces are deployed.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Space City is now a powerful city that integrates the world's most advanced technologies and weapons.

However, it is still subject to sanctions from many countries.

The space city remains inactive until it takes action.

People from other countries would certainly not allow Space City to come to the rescue of Southeast State.

This is a conflict of interests between countries.

Therefore, their current situation in the Southeast Prefecture can be described as extremely difficult.

The power of the Desolate Lands was far greater than they had imagined.

It's hard to imagine how long these people had been biding their time and lying low.

"Jiang Chen, are you going to continue protecting that woman?"

At this point, even Ye Lingling couldn't stand it anymore.

Because Jiang Chen seems to be too indulgent towards this woman.

He not only had her help him manage the resources and minerals of the entire Southeast State.

And now, she is clearly an undercover agent sent by the Land of the Dead.

Jiang Chen ignored this.

This greatly disappointed Ye Lingling.

Is it simply because this woman is somewhat attractive?

Did that make Jiang Chen so infatuated?
Men are indeed creatures who think with their lower bodies.

Instead of thinking about the pros and cons of the whole thing.

He was shocked to hear two of his top generals questioning him.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Is this how you talk to me?

"It seems I've been too lenient with you all lately."

Upon hearing this, Jia Leijie was the first to stand up and refute it.

He looked at Jiang Chen coldly.

"I absolutely do not want to see my brothers who fought alongside me on the battlefield die without knowing why."

"This is not just a few thousand people, but tens of thousands of lives."

"How can you expect me to ignore this? How can I explain this to them?"

"If you remain unmoved..."

"Then I will no longer obey your orders."

Jia Leijie agreed to become one of Jiang Chen's top generals.

It's because this guy has outstanding military capabilities.

No matter how difficult the situation or how formidable the opponent, Jiang Chen could handle it with ease.

But now Jiang Chen is doing this because of a woman.

This resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of lives in the southeastern state.

What else could this be but incompetence and tyranny?

With a coach like Jiang Chen, Jia Leijie felt that he should probably look for another way out.

With his strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to carve out a territory and establish himself as king.

Ye Lingling was also shocked when she heard this.

Unexpectedly, Jia Leijie dared to speak so frankly, although she herself did not know what Jiang Chen was planning.

But Jiang Chen is, after all, the undisputed leader.

“Jia Leijie, let’s stop with the angry words.”

"Let's not make things too tense."

"I believe Jiang Chen will eventually find a way."

At this moment, Jiang Chen was sitting in a chair.

He slowly stood up and finally spoke.

"You just need to continue resisting the enemy according to your own plan."

"Don't worry about the rest, I'll handle it myself."

Jiang Chen did not offer much explanation.

He just said that one sentence casually.

Then turned and left.

He knows in his heart what needs to be explained and what doesn't.

Jia Leijie and Ye Lingling stared at Jiang Chen's departing figure, both stunned for a moment.

Because they really couldn't figure out what Jiang Chen was up to this time.

"Jia Leijie, stop provoking Jiang Chen."

Do you think he's the kind of person who'd willingly suffer losses and give all the benefits to others?

Ye Lingling said calmly.

At least from the first day she met Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen has never suffered a loss, no matter what he does.

"But what exactly does he want to do? Now the enemy is attacking."

"We have lost more than half of our troops."

“In the Southeast State, it is not an easy task to recruit a large number of troops again.”

Jia Leijie was still completely baffled.

Did Jiang Chen deliberately allow his own troops to suffer more than half of their losses?

But what is the purpose of this?

Those in the know understand that in Southeastern State, weapons and equipment are certainly important.

But what we can truly rely on for survival is military strength.

"How could we possibly guess what Jiang Chen is thinking?"

"Let's do as Jiang Chen says."

"I believe he will give us a satisfactory answer."

Ye Lingling always inexplicably trusted Jiang Chen.

Don't know why.

I always felt that no matter what major events happened in the world, they could not defeat Jiang Chen.

At this time, what no one knew was that Jiang Chen soon left Southeast State.

He did not stay here, but returned to the Dragon Kingdom.

"Don't go too far. I've already done what I promised you."

"It's your own business to be enemies with Southeast State. Don't drag the Meng family into it."

At this moment, in the main hall of the Meng family in the Dragon Kingdom, a group of uninvited guests were confronting Meng Tianshi.

The two sides seem to have had a conflict over something.

This caused Meng Tianshi to look extremely unwell.

"The military strength, defense, and firepower of the Southeast Prefecture are no less than ours."

"Now, half a month has passed, and we have only occupied one-third of the land in the Southeast State."

"This far exceeded our expectations."

"To eliminate Jiang Chen in one fell swoop, we need you as an inside man."

"As long as you help us, you'll naturally reap the rewards."

"We'll deal with Jiang Chen then." (End of Chapter)
