Arknights is too real, right?

Yan's northeastern border.

The sea of ​​​​people all over the mountains and plains could not be seen at a glance, and the heavy Origin Stone fluctuations made the birds flying in the sky afraid to approach.

If there were only 3 million people, it wouldn't be that shocking, because even Longmen's total population would be close to 3 million, and the total population of North China would even exceed 20 million.

However, if the word "military" is added to the end of 3 million, it will be a completely different matter.

Three million troops, this number even exceeds that of most world powers, including Victoria and Yan.

The 3 million people gathered at the border at this time can indeed be called an army, because at least more than half of them are equipped with sophisticated combat weapons.

The remaining half also possess the necessary qualities of a soldier, the belief in killing the enemy, and the determination to die.

Such a huge army can only be described as an army.

Lin Hong must be very confused when faced with this shocking fact. Not only Lin Hong, but probably the entire top management of Yan Kingdom are equally confused.

Take Victoria as an example. The total of the four military regions can be considered as comparable to Yandong's 3 million troops at this time. However, Victoria's overall economy is objectively more than dozens of times greater than Yandong's.

What is the army?

The army is the best proof that a country is strong. In this case, the more the better, because this way it will not be disturbed by foreign enemies.

But in reality, the military is not allowed to expand indefinitely because it is closely linked to the national economy.

To put it bluntly, after integrating labor force, productivity, trade interaction, etc., if a country can have 20 billion left over for military expenditure every year, then the country can only support an army worth 20 billion. If it exceeds 20 billion billion, it will break the balance of national development.

The military's annual expenditures are unimaginable to ordinary people, including recruitment, training, equipment, meals, retirement placement, etc. The most important point is that the military's "preparation" is far greater than "war".

If the military wants to maintain strong combat effectiveness and the belief in sacrificing for the country, it needs to be supported by high-intensity training and exercises at all times, including various welfare benefits.

In other words, armies exist only to fight wars or to wait to fight wars.

When there is no war, you cannot let a main force go to the mines to dig stones, nor can you let soldiers use sewing machines to make clothes, because this will seriously reduce the combat effectiveness and the quality of soldiers. This is something that only militiamen can do.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the army are directly proportional to the input.

This also proves why the military can reflect the strength of a country.

But now, this theory has been completely overturned by Yan Dong.

I have neither the support of strong national power nor huge military investment, but I do have an army of 3 million people with strong combat effectiveness.

If you ask where these 300 troops came from, there is only one answer.

Since the establishment of Yandong, the domestic hospitals for infected patients have received a total of more than 4 million infected patients.

There is no such thing as a wasted lunch.

Yandong did not spend a penny of military expenditures to build an army, but it spent tens of billions in drug costs to suppress the ore disease in these infected people.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Yanguo said that Governor Yandong lacked communication skills and was simply wrong.

Xia Feng knows how to communicate with infected people very well, because he is an infected person himself. At the same time, his communication is not expressed in words, but in actions.

There is no high-sounding righteousness, no pie drawn out of thin air, there is only one thing he can give.

That is, I can let you live.

Even if the remaining life is still very short, even if this desperate world remains unchanged, I can let you feel the last trace of warmth when you leave this world.

Because we have a common name - infected.

In this way, Yandong created a miracle in less than a year in a corner forgotten by the world.

That is, it will always be talked about by storytellers, but it will never be realized by any country or region.

In a true sense, all the people are soldiers.

The Yandong army spread over the mountains and plains with murderous intent, and the equipment made of [Black Feather Weapon] reflected the cold light.

If the beliefs of an army reach spiritual unity at a certain point in time, the combat effectiveness displayed will be invincible.

At this moment, the infected survivors who had followed Xia Feng to conquer the north in Victoria regained the feeling of seeing death as home.

The infected people who subsequently joined Yandong from all over the country also understood why the original Victoria could be overthrown by the black wings.

Someone once said that the stronger you are, the more vulnerable you are, but at this moment, this sentence seems to have been reversed.

The more vulnerable you are, the stronger you are.

Because of the fragility of life, the infected have nothing to lose, and it is for this reason that they are willing to use their last life to protect someone's kindness.

The roar of mountains and tsunamis echoed from the crowds all over the mountains and plains.

"ah!!!!"

There were no words, just hysterical roars, which were enough to penetrate the psychological defense of the 300,000-strong North China Army on the other side.

Yanguo, Fengyang City.

In the imperial city, Yan Guoxiang sat alone in the empty middle hall, holding in his hand a piece of information written by Lin Hong himself.

In the deserted room, Yan Guoxiang leaned decadently on the chair in the middle, as if he had aged ten years.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The guard who walked in presented a letter from Yandong.

"Prime Minister, this is the letter sent to you by Governor Yandong."

"I understand, get out."

"yes."

The door was closed again, and the nave fell into silence again.

Yan Guoxiang held Lin Hong's letter in his left hand and Xia Feng's letter in his right hand. The difference was that the letter Xia Feng sent him had never been opened.

I don't know how long it took, until the sky outside had darkened, and Prime Minister Yan Guo was still sitting on the chair blankly.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and a man wearing the same clothes as the shadow guard walked in silently and stood behind Yan Guoxiang.

After a long time, a deep female voice came from the shadows.

"Do you want me to do it?"

Prime Minister Yan's pupils flickered.

"what do you mean."

The female voice came again, only two words.

"Yandong."

Without answering, Prime Minister Yan slowly opened the letter Xia Feng wrote to him.

There was only one sentence in the letter.

[If 300,000 North China troops dare to step even half a step into Yandong, 3 million infected people will trample the entire North China region, and then Fengyang City. 】

Seeing the words on the letter, Prime Minister Yan sighed and closed his eyes gently.

"No, you go and rest."

After the figure in the darkness left silently, Yan Guoxiang opened his eyes.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that there was another sentence on the back of the letter. The handwriting was the same as the front, and it was obviously written by Xia Feng.

This sentence is on the back of the letter.

【I'm just kidding】
