Chapter 1152: 1152
After a long pause, Jiang Chen stood up and looked around at the top officials of the military government, then said slowly .
“NAC has been at peace for too long . ”
Chu Nan secretly sighed .
When he heard this sentence, he already guessed Jiang Chen’s choice .
However, he did not have any dissatisfaction in his mind . Even if he did not agree with the choice to fight the north, he would execute Jiang Chen’s orders without reservation .
The military government had no bureaucrats, only soldiers . The duty of soldiers was to obey the superior without any doubt .
“I know that war is never a good thing . I also know that NAC needs time to grow . ” After a pause, Jiang Chen raised his voice, “But the space for survival never grows by itself . We can’t hope CCCP knows to take the gains . We are very wealthy, wealthy to the point that survivors across the Pacific know about our wealth . If we don’t take care of the problem outside our border, then the trouble will come to us . If Shangjing falls, we will be next . ”
“This is not about the covenant, but about us . ”
“NAC needs a war . ”
“Now . ”
Jiang Chen responded to the eyes focused on him and said word by word .
Peace had lasted for too long . After the expansion of NAC’s territory to Wu City, it stopped its expansion . IT was not just the soldiers who began to slack, but every survivor under the NAC . In fact, from the beginning of the baby boom, Jiang Chen began to sense something had changed .
It was also for the same reason that he had the idea of ”something was missing” in the military exercise .
Until this moment, Jiang Chen finally understood what was missed .
NAC’s force was still the same, but the sharp blade lost the taint of blood .
Long-lasting peace had begun to rust the war machine . As civilization gradually recovered, the survivors had even begun to forget that they were on the wasteland, not the good times before the war .
War was the main theme of the wasteland .
Only the war could sweep away the mottled rust and let NAC, the behemoth born for war, re-energize its vitality .
Just as Jiang Chen’s voice faded, Cheng Weiguo immediately stood up, full of excitement .
“I’m willing to lead the First Corp!”
“The First Corp must stay put,” Jiang Chen shook his head . “Your mission is to build defense along the coast . ”
“But…” Cheng Weiguo’s expression was a little eager .
“No need to say more, I have already decided,” Jiang Chen raised his hand and stopped Cheng Weiguo’s words, “I am going to lead the troops to the north!”
…
War!
When the notice of war was posted on the public notice board, the expression of every NAC survivor was not gloomy but full of excitement .
That’s right, excitement!
Countless powerful opponents once stood in front of the NAC, but they lost to the General . Now the General had decided to “lead the army”, almost no one thought about the possibility of failure . In everyone’s mind, General meant victory .
The survivors lined up in front of the conscription points and eagerly looked in front of them with the goal of becoming a member of the expeditionary army . With a pocket full of war bonds, the merchants squeezed out from the crowded banks with satisfaction .
Stimulated by countless arms orders, the military factories in the Sixth Street operated like clockwork and pushed their capacity to the limit .
From the workers to the soldiers, every gear on the NAC war machine spun under the command of the war and it shook the land it stood on . Over the three-day period, 5,000 reverses were mobilized and completed the assembly in the northern suburbs of Wanghai . With Jiang Chen’s order, they could board the airship and fly north .
Of course, not everyone liked this war .
For example, Jiang Chen’s family, especially Sun Jiao, were full of resentment of the idea that he must leave two days after his return .
“It’s hard for you to come back . Can’t you just stay home for a while?” The delicious food lost its taste, and the chopsticks were placed on the bowls . Sun Jiao held her chin with one hand and sighed in resentment .
The dinner that was supposed to be full of joy was now somewhat gloomy . Even Lin Lin, who always expressed her appreciation for Yao Yao’s cooking, moved her chopsticks at a slower rate .
“It’s not that I don’t want to stay at home, but the trouble came too unexpectedly . ” Jiang Chen helplessly shrugged .
“Can’t you let other people go? For example, Han Junhua since she is very good anyway . ” Sun Jiao was persistent .
“It can only be me,” Jiang Chen shook his head . “To maintain the prestige of the general, I must do something . I have been sitting behind the scenes for too long, it is time for me to make another appearance . ”
Sun Jiao sighed and no longer tried to persuade him . She knew his personality very well . Although he was very easy-going most of the time and would act freely at her will, for matters that involved principles, it was difficult to persuade him .
“Be careful . ”
“Mhmm,” Jiang Chen responded with a reassuring smile . “Don’t worry too much, you know my ability . ”
Sun Jiao threw a menacing stare at Jiang Chen with her eyes red .
“I know, that’s why I’m afraid that you’ll not be careful!”
Jiang Chen focused on Sun Jian and watched her silently before he responded to the eyes full of care with a smile .
“I promise I will be careful . ”
Yao Yao pouted, then began to eat .
Lin Lin rolled her eyes, exaggeratedly spat out her tongue, and turned her head away from looking at the two people staring at each other .
The table suddenly turned quiet .
An odd quietness .
Just then, with her hands holding her chin, Sun Xiaorou, who didn’t speak at all, suddenly broke the silence .
“Speaking of which… Who will accompany brother-in-law on this expedition?”
The table was silent and soon fell into a deeper silence than before . Even Lin Lin put down her chopsticks .
Yao Yao secretively raised her small head and glanced at Jiang Chen . Then, her eyes quickly escaped to the window .
With her hands still holding her chin, Xiaorou smiled and looked at the petrified Jiang Chen .
Who should I choose?
Jiang Chen’s expression was a little awkward, and he realized the unnatural state of the atmosphere .
It seemed like a hard choice regardless…
At this moment, his eyes met with Xiaorou’s grin in her eyes .
Behind her, he seemed to see the tail of a little devil waving to him .
Jiang Chen suddenly realized what happened as he facepalmed .
This girl definitely did this intentionally!
Fortunately, she did not continue to make it difficult for Jiang Chen .
The little devil smiled, put her finger on her lips, and changed the subject .
“Well… in short, let’s wash the dishes first?”
