You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

Chapter 89: Killing and Blood Flowing Like a River (5k)

[You saw what the military chief was thinking, so you took the opportunity to explain that the funds for forming the Red Heart Army were all provided by the Yuncheng family.]

[Under the two people's puzzled eyes, you nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed the way you imagined it would be provided.]

The Minister of Military Affairs twitched his lips. Indeed, the Yuncheng family was gone, so the various resources and massive funds they left behind were indeed provided to the development of the Red Heart Society.

[And your words have caused the military minister to think. Yuncheng's economic scale is not even ranked in the entire federation.]

[Even so, the stolen money left by those noble families could have formed an elite army of 300,000.]

What about other cities?

What about the aristocratic families in the southern provinces?

[At a time when the Federation is in such dire straits, and they are so wealthy, it shouldn't be a problem for them to donate a little, right?]

[The next day, the military chief convened a meeting with the noble families.]

After describing the Federation's predicament on the northern battlefield, he hoped that the Federation's aristocratic families would contribute money or manpower to help the Federation overcome this crisis.

[As expected, the aristocratic families of the Federation began to cry poor.]

They used various tragic reasons to explain their poverty, but they all boiled down to one simple statement: the landlords had no more food to eat.

This infuriated the military chief, but when he tried to use force to force the aristocratic families to give up their interests, he aroused opposition from the entire military.

Almost everyone is against it.

[Of course, as subordinates, they couldn't say it openly.]

However, there is no problem in allowing them to express their views from the perspective of the overall situation, the people, and the federal government.

The military minister sat in his chair, lost in thought, watching as everyone had their own reasons for objecting.

[Some people's reasons are very reliable and can convince him.]

[But some people use excuses that are simply insulting to their own intelligence.]

[Let the noble families donate money, let the noble families donate extraordinary resources to build the army, what does it have to do with the common people? ]

[Someone even said something so foolish as to say that asking the noble families to donate money would likely cause opposition from the people, and would even make their peaceful lives even more difficult.] Such a foolish statement deserves to be hung up.

【But generally speaking, his measure was opposed by the entire military.】

Therefore, this idea is doomed to fail.

[This may also be the reason why the aristocratic families dare to ignore the military at will.]

If they don't cooperate, the federal military won't be able to function.

After a moment's silence, the military chief stared at the document before him regarding the "Transfer of the Red Heart Regiment to the Northern Frontier."

[Immediately afterwards, he mobilized his internal fighting spirit and completely crushed the document.]

[In October of the 131st year of the Supernatural Calendar, a rare event occurred: the battlefield in the northern part of the Federation did not collapse.]

[Even the White Eagle Empire's violent offensive has eased.]

From the perspective of the White Eagle Empire's military, the Federation currently has a 300,000-strong army hidden in the Abyss Battlefield. What about other locations?

[The Federation's repeated defeats on the northern battlefield, is there a possibility that they are plotting against the White Eagle Empire?]

[Once the White Eagle Empire enters the heartland of the Federation, will that be the end of the White Eagle Empire?]

[For this reason, the White Eagle Empire has suspended its fierce offensive.]

[This time, the northern defense line was not breached.]

Even when the Winter Empire acted as a mediator, the White Eagle Empire's military showed an extremely strong desire to negotiate.

[In December of the 131st year of the Supernatural Calendar, the old principal found you and said that he had several students working in other warbands.]

After hearing about the Red Heart Regiment, they wanted to be transferred to fight in the Red Heart Regiment.

[After all, the old principal is in the Red Heart Group. Who would want to follow someone else if they can follow the old principal?]

You originally thought that this group of people would be at most fourth-level professionals, but you didn't expect the old principal to directly bring in six fifth-level professionals and twenty-eight fourth-level professionals.

[For a moment, you were stunned.]

[These professionals are not from aristocratic families.]

[Even so, such results were still achieved.]

Therefore, you admire the old principal's teaching ability and his judgment of people.

【You are so good at judging people! 】

[In the same month, with the support of 300,000 Red Heart troops, Chi Xin began to frantically expand its influence in various provinces of the Federation.]

[This time, the development of the Red Heart Society did not suffer an overt blow.]

[Although the local forces in these areas are still rejecting the entry of the Red Heart Society, after all, they have seen the actions of the Red Heart Society in Nanyun Province, Nanhe Province, and Xishan Province.]

[That's completely giving the local forces no chance to survive!]

[As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot overpower a local snake, but the powerful dragon of the Chixin Society is willing to eat the local snake as food.]

[Under normal circumstances, they would have directly stopped it.]

[But now the Federation is in turmoil, and the Red Heart Society has once again displayed such a powerful military force.]

[Most importantly, the Red Heart Army is still in the Abyss Battlefield and has not gone to the northern frontier.]

[The Red Heart Society only has one A-rank regiment, yet they dare to annihilate the Yuncheng family.]

[Now with 300,000 Red Heart soldiers at our disposal, is there anything the Red Heart Society wouldn't dare to do?]

Therefore, they all chose to give in and wait for the future.

[In January of the 132nd year of the Transcendent Calendar, the negotiations between the three countries, which were proceeding steadily, suddenly collapsed.]

[The White Eagle Empire and the Winter Empire reached an agreement. Both countries sent troops to launch a fierce attack on the Federation.]

[This wave of attacks stunned the top brass of the Federation.]

【Aren’t they negotiating now?】

[Soon, the federal government investigated and found out the reason.]

[Spies within the Federation informed the White Eagle Empire of the Red Heart Army's origins, but as a precaution, the White Eagle Empire offered some strategic resources in exchange for them with the Winter Empire.]

[The two countries join forces to attack the Federation! ]

[After this incident, the Federation once again fell into a precarious chaos.]

In February of the 132nd year of the Transcendental Calendar, the White Eagle Empire temporarily suspended its offensive, promising to withdraw its troops if the Federation surrendered the 9th, 12th, and 17th Federal Regiments that had been slaughtering White Eagle Empire soldiers on the front lines, and paid a large sum of money as compensation.

[When this news came out, the whole country was shocked.]

【Everything has returned to the historical events you are familiar with.】

The inertia of history is fully demonstrated at this moment.

You knew the nature of the Federal General Manager very well, so you started making arrangements for public opinion in advance.

[Under your arrangement, Lin Xue will be fully responsible for the subsequent public opinion fermentation incident.]

[You then enter the Chixin Club, which has spent a huge amount of money collecting resources from all over the world to carefully build for you a top-notch fighting spirit training chamber.]

[The polishing of gold Dou Qi is completely different from that of silver and bronze Dou Qi.]

[The progress of the polishing of these two kinds of fighting spirit is innately connected.]

[Even when they were about to reach perfection, the difference between the two types of fighting spirit could be clearly seen.]

[But polishing golden fighting spirit is like polishing pure gold. No matter how hard you chisel and hammer, the golden fighting spirit will not change in the slightest.]

[This kind of polishing without seeing the future is the most torturous.]

[However, you have a time advantage far exceeding others, so even if the golden fighting spirit does not move, you can still maintain inner peace.]

[In March of the 132nd year of the Supernormal Calendar, a deputy minister of the Federation went to the Northern Territory in person, intending to sign the Northern Territory Treaty.]

[When this news came out, all members of the 9th, 12th, and 17th regiments had already been taken to the Federal Central Prison.]

[Who wouldn't be a child of destiny to become such a high ranking member of a chapter?]

[And for these gifted individuals, the situation had changed so drastically, and the moment they became heroes, they were devastated by the shock of being turned into helpless losers.]

[At this moment, the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment finally understood your previous hints and instructions.]

[The Federal General Office is the cradle of politicians! ]

[Politicians are the best at stabbing people in the back! ]

[But what if I know now? ]

It’s too late!

[From the moment they were imprisoned in the sealed prison and their extraordinary powers were locked away, they were destined to be taken to the White Eagle Empire for trial.]

[During this period, the Minister of the Army and the President of the War College came to visit.]

Their relatives and friends also came to visit one after another.

[But faced with the attitude of the Federation General Office and the decisions of several top families in the Federation, they were unable to resist.]

However, when the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment saw Lin Xue in the Federal Central Prison, a glimmer of hope for life suddenly emerged in his despairing heart.

[Although his life experience is quite legendary. ]

[But in front of a legendary figure like you, it seems ordinary.]

[You single-handedly founded the Red Heart Society, created the Red Heart Regiment, and created a Red Heart Army of 300,000.]

[Each of these incidents, any one of them, would be a major event that shook the Federation.]

[The most important thing is that you have been invincible and victorious along the way.]

[Thinking carefully, the Red Heart Society has experienced countless struggles, both large and small, since its founding.]

[But in this frequent struggle, the Chixin Society has never lost! ]

Even if you're in a disadvantageous position, it's just a strategic retreat, followed by a counterattack to knock the enemy to the ground. When these things happen to you, you're destined to be a leader with far-sightedness and thoughts that transcend your time.

[If he is truly beyond saving, then it shouldn't be Lin Xue who comes to visit him. You should come in person.]

[You anticipated this, and you didn't come in person this time.]

The meaning of this is self-evident.

As the second-in-command of the Red Heart Society, Lin Xue is fully responsible for the development of the Red Heart Society, handling conflicts, and even its shady activities such as assassinations.

[So she immediately understood what the Seventeenth Regiment's leader was thinking. Since he had already figured it out, there was no need for unnecessary nonsense or hints.]

[She came here this time to make the Ninth, Twelfth, and Seventeenth Regiments owe the Red Heart Society a huge favor.]

[Perhaps we could take this opportunity to incorporate these members of the Chapter who have lost hope in the Federation into the Red Heart Society.]

【You taught her these principles.】

【Unite, everything that can be united! 】

[Distinguish between the primary and secondary contradictions.]

[On the issue of the principal contradiction, all secondary contradictions must give way!]

[Since this is the case, she will naturally share your worries and help you expand the Red Heart Society to the greatest extent possible, allowing future innovative partners to shine even brighter.]

However, the Central Prison's monitoring system was well-developed, so Lin Xue didn't say much. She simply hinted to the Seventeenth Regiment's leader to inform the higher-ups of the Ninth and Twelfth Regiments of this news.

[We must let them know that when no one else was able to save them, it was the Chixin Society that saved them!]

The leader of the Seventeenth Regiment, who usually didn't understand things and even couldn't grasp hints, suddenly became enlightened in this desperate situation and understood Lin Xue's intentions.

Soon, the high-ranking members of the Chapter in the Central Prison learned that the Red Heart Society was trying to rescue them!

[Although the leaders of these numbered chapters have no hope for this matter, in desperate situations, they will cling to even a ray of light that comes through the cracks in the window.]

[The next day, a demonstration that swept across the entire federation broke out.]

[This war of public opinion, centered around Cloud City, Shangdu, and Dragon City, is spreading across the entire federation.]

[A large number of professionals, teams, and even forces held demonstrations, using strikes, school boycotts, business boycotts, and other means to oppose the Federation General Office's signing of the humiliating "Northern Treaty."]

[A hero of the Federation is definitely not a war criminal of another country! ]

[They massacred the soldiers of the White Eagle Empire because the White Eagle Empire is the enemy of the Federation!]

[Even if the enemies of the Federation have reached our doorstep, are we not allowed to fight back?]

[Their enemy is my hero! ]

We must not allow traitors to cede the national interests of the Federation. National interests must not be tarnished!

[The influence of the Red Heart Society began to fully erupt under Lin Xue's direct instructions.]

[There is no need to elaborate on the three provinces of Nanyun, Nanhe, and Xishan.]

[Everyone follows the instructions of the Red Heart Society and opposes in an unconventional way!]

[Even the official media of these three provinces directly pointed out that the Federation General Office's signing of the Northern Treaty was outright treason!]

[The person responsible for this matter must be sentenced to death! ]

After receiving the news, the relatives and friends of these numbered regiments, without hesitation, began to mobilize all their networks to cooperate in this public opinion campaign that affected the entire federation.

[At the same time, the Red Heart Regiment, the Guard Regiment, and the 300,000 Red Heart Army in the Abyss Battlefield directly stated that heroes must not be tried as war criminals!]

[This sentence resonated with all the army and the members of the regiment! ]

[The morale of the troops on the border instantly boiled over. Following the backlash from public opinion, the military mutiny was even more devastating.]

[With the tall man leading the charge, people from all walks of life in the Federation expressed their support!]

[We may lose the war, but our military morale must never waver! ]

[In April of the 132nd year of the Supernatural Calendar, just as the Federation was being swayed by public opinion and was about to abandon the signing of the Northern Treaty, the Winter Empire's army broke through the southern defenses.]

[For a time, the Federal Center was in danger.]

Lin Xue sensed that something was amiss, and the military's reaction was beyond her expectations.

[Normally speaking, the military would definitely stand on the side of the army.]

[Otherwise, a military department that is not recognized by the military will sooner or later be eliminated in the long river of history.]

[The military's silence, in a sense, also represents the attitude of the federal leadership on this matter.]

[The Federation still wants to sign the Northern Treaty to stabilize the White Eagle Empire.]

[In order to complete the task you gave me, Lin Xue simply chose to go all out.]

[Isn't the Federal General Office hesitant?]

【Aren’t you doing multiple-choice questions?】

【it is good! 】

[The Chixin Society will make the choice for them!]

[Thus, as public opinion throughout the federation was heated, an even more violent wave of strikes hit.]

【All of them! 】

The Federation General Office is worried that the White Eagle Empire will deal a fatal blow to the Federation. They must let them know that if they sign the Northern Border Treaty, the blows unleashed from within the Federation will only be more fatal!

[From now on, the Federation will be completely destroyed! ]

[The Red Heart Society's direct base was the first to respond to Lin Xue's call.]

[The noble families in other provinces, upon receiving the call from the Red Heart Society, chose to act in the opposite direction.]

[The Red Heart Society is rebelling against the Federation General Manager!]

【The center’s policy anyway! 】

How could they follow such an act of rebellion and treason?

However, facing the hypocritical behavior of these local forces, Lin Xue led the entire 300,000-strong Red Heart Army into action.

Every minute was precious right now, so she had no desire to play house with these aristocratic families and local forces.

【For this, Lin Xue has only one request! 】

【kill! 】

【Big Kill! 】

【Those who disobey will be killed! 】

【Eradicate this corrupt power completely! 】

[All of these wealthy families were killed under the orders of the Red Heart Society.]

[The General Manager of the Killing Federation should carefully consider the cost of signing the Northern Treaty!]

When 300,000 Red Heart soldiers began to rebel, and when all surrounding armies ignored this Red Heart riot, what choice did the Federation General Manager have?

[Under the actions of the 300,000-strong Red Heart Army, a bloodbath ensued overnight between the aristocratic families and local forces in Qingdong Province, adjacent to Nanhe Province.]

[Under such a rampant slaughter, the bloodshed in Qingdong Province was much more intense than in Yuncheng.]

[Of course, the Red Heart Army came from the lower classes, so they would not harm the people who also belong to the lower classes.]

Before the Qingdong Province massacre broke out, members of the Qingdong branch of the Red Heart Society began going door to door, informing people not to go out during specific times.

【As long as you don't go out, you are safe. 】

[As long as you don't go out to watch the fun, your life will not be harmed.]

[The next day, the Red Heart Army entered four provinces, including Dongshan Province and Beihu Province.]

[When the knife was at their necks, the high-ranking officials and media in these four provinces stated that they would defend the honor of the Red Heart Society to the death and would follow the Red Heart Society to fight against the Northern Treaty.]

[Not long after, the eighteen surrounding provinces responded to the strike and began a complete and utter struggle.]

The Red Heart Army's actions taught them that if they didn't obey, they would surely die!

[Who can resist the pure violence machine of the military? ]

[Perhaps the numbered regiments on the border could resist, but the Red Heart Army was created to vent the anger of these numbered regiments that resisted foreign enemies, so how could they resist?]

[Even if these chapter leaders give orders, the chapter soldiers will not obey.]

[In May of the 132nd year of the Transcendental Calendar, the Federation General Office dismissed and investigated the Vice Minister who signed the "Northern Treaty."]

[Everyone in the Federation will never obey! ]

[A treaty that is humiliating and detrimental to one's country cannot be signed, even if it means the destruction of one's country!]

Soon, news broke that the deputy chief had confessed his treasonous behavior in prison and committed suicide by taking poison.

[But everyone understands that this is just a fig leaf that the Federal General Manager is covering up for himself.]

When the members of the 9th, 12th, and 17th Regiments were released as wrongly accused heroes, they realized how much Chixin would sacrifice for them.

The members of the Ninth and Twelfth Regiments might not understand the Red Heart Society, but the Seventeenth Regiment knows it all too well.

[Even during the time when the two chapters were neighbors, they had a lot of exchanges.]

They never imagined that when the Federation General Office backstabbed them and the military abandoned them, it was their comrades, their former friends from the Red Heart Society who had fought alongside them and even protected each other, who risked their lives to save them.

[Thinking of this, the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment went to find the Ninth and Twelfth Regiments overnight.]

Friends!

[The Chixin Society has sacrificed so much to save us! ]

We must not allow our friends who help us to end up being targeted, suppressed, or even slaughtered by the Federal Office.

【As human beings, we should repay kindness! 】
