Chapter 647 A springboard, a bigger goal!
"If the war breaks out, the Beiyue Army will be like a time bomb that may explode behind us at any time!"
Qin Feng said coldly: "After all, only by protecting your back can you continue to fight the enemy!"
"This 300,000 is just a conservative estimate. If we add up the scattered troops around us, we estimate there are more than 100,000!"
"Such a huge base should never be underestimated!"
After listening to Qin Feng's words, the officer named Li swallowed hard. Damn it, these Gallic soldiers are determined to wipe them out in one fell swoop!
Seeing that Qin Feng stopped talking, Officer Li didn't dare to ask anything. He just suppressed his emotions and looked at the scenery outside the car window, but his mind was already in a state of confusion.
Soon, after a bumpy journey, Qin Feng and officer Li arrived at the command center.
"Commander-in-chief, Commander Bai has prepared everything, and all the officers are here, waiting for you!" As soon as Bai Chongxi's deputy saw Qin Feng get off the car, he hurried over to report.
"Got it!" Qin Feng nodded slightly.
As the sun was about to set, news came from the Beiyue Army that they agreed to peace!
However, it was really difficult for them to withdraw overnight, not to mention that their logistical facilities were also difficult to manage.
So they proposed to withdraw from these eight provincial capitals, which is the territory of their expeditionary force, before noon tomorrow!
In addition, Qin Feng not only has to provide them with material assistance, but also has to provide them with a certain amount of food and fodder to allow them to survive this period!
"Commander-in-Chief, I suggest you don't give them anything. The Beiyue Army is really taking advantage of you!"
"This is just like treating us like the stupid sons of the local landlord. We are given weapons and food. Where in the world can we find such a good job?"
"No matter what, these Beiyue troops are just a bunch of insignificant troops. We can defeat the Gaul army effortlessly, so it won't be easy to defeat these Beiyue troops, right?"
The bearded officer, who had always been the main attacker, spoke in a rough voice.
As expected, the bearded officer's words immediately aroused the agreement of many people present at the meeting.
"I agree. The Beiyue Army is simply bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. We just can't be too nice to them!"
"Let's just start a war, and we can save ourselves the trouble of talking nonsense with them. If we agree to their conditions now, the Beiyue Army might even ask for more!"
"To be honest, Commander-in-Chief, these Beiyue troops have no bottom line. Keeping them around is a disaster. Since we have to wipe them out sooner or later, why not now?"
"This will save us trouble in the future!"
At this time, Zhang Gan also began to express his thoughts.
As soon as the two of them said this, all the officers present couldn't wait to express their thoughts.
For a moment, no one was willing to give in to the other, and they seemed to be competing to see whose voice was louder. The noise made Bai Chongxi's head hurt.
He stood up suddenly and shouted, "Whoever makes noise again, get out of here!"
Following Bai Chongxi's angry rebuke, the officers present became like quails, shrinking their necks and becoming quiet immediately.
At this moment, it seemed that the only sound that could be heard in the entire conference room was the sound of one's own heartbeat.
"Just because we have taken over eight provincial capitals in a row, do you think you can be so arrogant?"
"Have you forgotten how Xia Nation was beaten by Mao Xiong Nation?"
Looking at the subordinates in front of him, Bai Chongxi just felt a little embarrassed.
He paused, then spoke again: "Since coming to Yuenan, everyone has been reborn, right? Do you really think you are some powerful general?"
"The previous defeat has been written off?"
"In these eight battles in eight provinces, if there is no commander-in-chief to deploy troops, can you win half of them?"
Bai Chongxi took two deep breaths, adjusted his emotions, and then spoke again.
"The only target of this conference is the Gauls!"
"I know that you all have high aspirations, thinking that the Gauls are nothing, but you still lost to our expeditionary army!"
"After all, even Beiyue's biggest trump card has been taken by you!"
Having said that, Bai Chongxi looked around, his eyes swept over these officers one by one, and spoke with an extremely solemn expression.
"But your opponent this time is not 200,000, nor 300,000, but 400,000!"
"There are a total of 400,000 Gallic troops, and we only have five days left!"
"This is just a conservative calculation. There will be more than 400,000 troops and the time will be less than five days!"
"Faced with such a large number of opponents, you still have to waste time in this limited time and say these meaningless words here!"
"If you really have the strength, point your guns at the Gauls!"
"A bunch of complacent people who don't even know there's a sword hanging over their heads!"
Bai Chongxi's words touched their hearts word by word.
Except for Qin Feng, all the officers present had a look of regret and a hint of shock on their faces.
They never expected that the Gallic army would act so quickly. Before they could think about it carefully, they heard the commander-in-chief speak again.
"Do you know how long the Beiyue Army has been established?"
Listening to the commander-in-chief's words, Zhang Gan guessed, "Commander-in-chief, it must have been quite a while, five years, right?"
"No, not five years, not ten years!"
"It's only nine years away from the 100th year!"
"Since Yuenan took control of the Gaul Army, these Beiyue troops have already formed guerrilla forces. It has been a hundred years now!"
"During this period, do you think the Gauls will not kill them all and want to completely wipe them out to prevent future troubles?"
Qin Feng's voice was cold, and his face was even colder.
"It's not that they don't want to, but that they can't do it!"
"Year after year, we have chased and intercepted them thousands of times, but to this day, we have not been able to completely wipe them out!"
"Do you think you can achieve this by winning a few battles and taking over the eight provincial capitals of Beiyue?"
Qin Feng looked at everyone with a sharp gaze, paused slightly, and then spoke again.
"Instead of wasting our time and energy on them, we might as well give them some sweet treats, and then use coercion and inducement to make them leave our territory willingly!"
"The time and energy saved in this way can be used to deal with more powerful enemies!"
“This is the only way to develop quickly!”
"If we wipe out Beiyue's army one by one, it will take us at least several years!"
"This will slow down our progress. Don't forget why we went south. Yuenan is just a stepping stone for us!"
