Chapter 335 "Is it done yet?"

First came the missile attack, then the artillery fire coverage, and finally the ground troops advanced deep into the arsenal under the cover of tanks, armored troops and various fighter planes.

After all, they are all regular troops and have experienced the "Gastrilla War". There are no big problems in the coordination of sea, land and air.

Some minor problems can be regarded as flaws.

It's a pity that after a lively coordinated sea, land and air battle, they discovered that they were lonely.

The fight lasted from midnight to the next morning, but there was not a single enemy in the arsenal.

In the end, it was judged based on the traces left at the scene that the enemy troops had withdrawn to the peripheral area.

The losses are uncountable.

I don’t know how many people died in the explosion, and I don’t know how many people were moved away.

Anyway, wise officers have already determined one thing: those little girls are no longer just a mob.

Attacking, calling for reinforcements, retreating, transporting supplies, and intelligence issues that are easily overlooked.

This is not a simple attack, but an organized and premeditated military operation.

Those little girls can already organize decent military operations.

It's only been a few days? !

If they continue to grow like this, what will happen in a month?What will happen a year from now?

Although they did not meet and communicate, these wise officers still came to a consensus: it was best to immediately launch a devastating attack on the Cursed Son entrenched in the outer area.

Some officers reported their thoughts directly to their superiors.

The result was not recognized.

The opinions of those politicians were not unified. Some felt that an attack should be launched, while others felt that the blockade should be carried out as planned.

They quarreled from morning to afternoon, and finally drew the Holy Emperor into the battle group.

"Lord Holy Emperor, what do you think?"

"Holy Son of Heaven..."

"..."

In such a quarrel, Shengtianzi realized one of the basic skills of politicians: taking sides.

Whichever side is beneficial to you, take the side.

Needless to say, she certainly did not support starting a war. She was a "pacifist" after all.

But in doing so she upset those who favored an immediate attack.

"Lord Holy Emperor, we hope you will consider it carefully..."

"Shut up, you actually dare to oppose Lord Sheng Tianzi's decision. Do you want to rebel?!"

"..."

So the two sides quarreled again.

In such quarrels, Shengtianzi realized one of the basic skills of politicians: forming cliques and fighting against differences.

The ideas and interests of these senior leaders are not unified.

In some respects they even have to compete with each other.

She can completely support one side to suppress the other.

As long as they can get benefits, some people are probably happy to obey her "orders".

Being the "Holy Emperor" is her greatest asset.

Regardless of whether they have real power or not.

Anyway, she is the supreme ruler in name, and as long as there is no rebellion, you have to obey her orders.

She is "righteousness" and "legitimacy".

None of these senior officials really paid attention to her.

But what if she could give them the "legitimacy" to attack their opponents?

There is a real example next door: holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.

She has no way to "hold the emperor" because she is the "holy emperor".

But she can make these high-level officials enter a state of "holding the emperor to order the princes".

Let them attack each other, let them kill each other.

She seeks power in such a battle.

For example, if a high-level executive fails in a struggle and a position becomes vacant, she can take the opportunity to support her own people in the leadership position.

Of course this is the most ideal situation.

Even if a close associate is appointed to the top, it is impossible to gain power all of a sudden.

Politicians are particular about forming cliques.

Even if someone steps down, power is still in the hands of his faction.

There is no use in appointing new leaders under these circumstances.

Therefore, if you want to truly grasp power, you must seek breakthroughs from the middle and lower levels.

She cooperated with a certain high-level executive and got rid of her opponent. She must be given a share of the subsequent profit distribution, right?

At that time, arrange more of your cronies at the middle level or even at the grassroots level, so that they can slowly grasp the power and climb up. In this way, not only will they have all the power, but at least some of it can be taken back.

She is still very young, only sixteen years old, and has a lot of time to complete this plan.

The problem is who her cronies are.

After thinking about it, Shengtianzi found that the only person willing to obey her orders was the guard captain Baohie Zhuoren.

This thirty-two-year-old man was from the Self-Defense Forces and was the chief graduate of the National Defense University.

Because he has no interest relationship with the senior management, he can be trusted for the time being.

The problem is that he is a radical.

And he is a guy who can only talk on paper. Although he is the chief graduate, he actually doesn't have much ability at all.

Because he wanted to be successful, he offered his loyalty to her, the Holy Emperor.

It stands to reason that it is a good target for utilization.

But Emperor Sheng didn't want to use this person.

The question is: besides protecting Zhuo Ren, who else can she trust?

Tiantong wood more?

Satomi Rentaro?

Although Tendo Kisara is willing to stand by her side, he is not considered to be her subordinate.

Satomi Rentaro even refused to participate in these matters.

He was adopted by the Tendo family when he was a child, and was brought into the circle of politicians by Tendo Kikunomagi, who also taught him a lot of knowledge that politicians need.

Theoretically speaking, Satomi Rentaro, who has learned these things, is very suitable for politics.

Too bad he didn't.

Although politicians do make people feel disgusting.

But as long as you have power, you can always make some changes.

Even just a little.

But he just didn't want to.

He has been telling Lan Yuan Yanzhu all day long about these great principles, but he is unwilling to practice them himself.

He claimed to be on the same side as Sheng Tianzi, but refused to actually do anything to help him.

He said that he liked Tendou Musara, so it would be fine if he didn't help her get revenge. What was even more outrageous was that he wanted to persuade Tendou Musara to let go of his hatred.

So this person is really...

Only rhetoric.

What is said is better than what is sung, and one principle follows another, but in fact nothing is done and nothing changes.

The big and little girls in this world are very innocent.

In other words, they all like to hear those beautiful words, so everyone in the original novel has a very high opinion of him.

That's different now.

Under the guidance of Byakuya and Misaka Mikoto, Aihara Enju saw through his pretense of talking but not doing, so he left directly and resisted.

Tendo Kisara also saw that Satomi Rentaro and her were not the same people.

Shengtianzi didn't think too much, but found that Rentaro Satomi couldn't really help her.

So in the end, the only one that can really be used is Tendo Kigen.

To protect Zhuo Ren?

Barely usable.

The plan seemed to be aborted before it even started.

Is it too late to cultivate cronies now?

Sheng Tianzi looked at the quarreling senior officials and fell into deep thought.

The reminders of "Initiator" and "Child of the Curse" kept ringing in her ears, which made her realize another possibility: maybe try to unite with those little girls?

……

<divclass="contentadv">As the spiritual leader and actual leader of the Cursed Sons, Aihara Yanzhu had never thought about joining forces with the Holy Emperor.

Because Bai Ye told her that Sheng Tianzi's "Supreme Leader of the Tokyo Region" was only in name only.

There are not many advantages to joining forces, and there are no disadvantages to not joining forces.

Then why join forces?

Of course, the situation will always change, and there may be a time to unite in the future.

But don’t think about it for now.

Before the Self-Defense Forces could react, a group of girls transported weapons and ammunition back to the outer area and quickly hid them in a pre-selected temporary warehouse.

The rebels went to the designated location to collect weapons and ammunition according to the predetermined plan.

It wasn't exactly orderly, but there was no chaos either.

The little girls who got the supplies quickly ran to the next position.

Some continued to confront the police, some were preparing to block the Self-Defense Forces, and some were responsible for air defense.

Everything went according to plan.

But they did not wait for the Self-Defense Forces' attack. They only saw the occasional fighter plane flying through the sky.

That was for a reconnaissance mission.

Although they had just received supplies, there were not many anti-aircraft missiles, so the girls did not attack.

In the afternoon, there was no sign of an attack by the Self-Defense Forces. The girls relaxed a little and let some of them be on guard while the others retreated to a safe place to rest.

The confrontation at the junction continues.

Aihara Enju, who had not rested for more than thirty hours, asked Qianju Natsuki to catch up on her sleep, while she went to the underground shelter to look for Byakuya.

Only Bai Ye exists in the underground shelter.

Girls and young girls have to work, and no one has time for her.

Bai Ye, who had finished drawing the map long ago, was making medicine.

Lan Yuan Yanzhu, who sat down next to him, opened his mouth wide and yawned, then raised his hand to rub his eyes, and then looked at the boy who was preparing the potion.

"Brother Bai Ye, is this a drug that suppresses the erosion rate?"

For the Cursed Child, there are two issues that urgently need to be addressed.

The first is to resist discrimination and persecution.

Another is the erosion rate of gastruzoan viruses.

You can rely on yourself to resist them. Even if there is no other way, you can use the simplest way to fight violence with violence.

But they can't develop drugs.

Because no one has learned this knowledge, and no one can teach them if they want to learn.

So we can only rely on Bai Ye in this regard.

"Yes, this is an improved version, and the effect is better than the previous one."

Bai Ye first answered the question, and then asked her opinion: "Do you think it is better to make it into a potion or a pill?"

After hearing this, Lan Yuan Yanzhu thought about it carefully, and then expressed his thoughts: "Pills are better, easy to store and carry."

Potions generally need to be stored in glass containers, which can be broken accidentally.

So pills are better.

"That's right."

Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

Lan Yuan Yanzhu, who was trying to keep his eyes open and awake, stared at the potion in his hand: "Is what Brother Bai Ye is making now a potion?"

"Well, do some tests to see the effect. If there are any problems, you need to adjust them."

"That's it."

Lan Yuan Yanzhu raised his hand to rub his eyes again.

I haven't slept for more than thirty hours, and I am still concentrating on my work. Now I feel really overwhelmed when I relax, and I really want to lie in bed and sleep comfortably.

But no, the three of them cannot sleep at the same time. At least one of them must stay awake.

After all, this is a special situation.

Shaking his head to dispel the sleepiness, he continued to ask: "Is there enough time to finish the medicine?"

"Probably okay."

After all, we are not playing with technology, and there is no need for such a long research and development cycle.

Aihara Yanzhu doesn't understand much about this, but what she knows is: drugs that only inhibit the erosion rate are far from enough.

It would be best if there was a cure for the cursed child.

Even if you don't mention this, there must be medicine to treat injuries. After all, there is a war and there will be many wounded people who need treatment.

Now that I had the opportunity, Aihara Enju, who was not good at beating around the bush, said directly: "Brother Bai Ye wants to leave, can't he stay? We still need your help in many places."

"Don't always think of relying on me. You have to find a way to solve the problem yourself."

"...You always say that."

The little girl pouted, expressing that she was a little unhappy: "Even if we have to rely on ourselves, it is only if we are capable. Now that we don't understand anything, what can we do on our own?"

"Well, yes, we can probably surrender directly."

"Brother Bai Ye."

The pouting little girl's expression was a bit more complaining.

surrender?

Now that they have begun to resist, they would rather die than surrender.

But before she died, she had to do more to help the children of the curse, at least to make their situation better.

"It's just a joke, don't be angry."

Bai Ye put down the potion that had been divided into several portions.

Then he said while washing his hands: "I need a few volunteers, please help me arrange it. Anyway, I will send people to scout the unexplored areas next, and ask them to bring these medicines just in case."

"I see."

Being a "guinea pig" for this drug research, all the initiators who decide to resist will be willing.

Because those who choose to resist are prepared to give up everything they have to seek benefits for their companions.

So without saying much, seeing Bai Ye washing and wiping her hands, the little girl asked again: "Have you finished it?"

"Ah."

Bai Ye nodded.

He turned to look at Lan Yuan Yanzhu, opened his mouth and was about to say something, when the little girl suddenly ran over and threw herself into his arms.

Ai Yuan Yanzhu was more relaxed holding him.

"Brother Bai Ye, don't leave, okay? You are our only support."

"...Why is it 'the only one'? Aren't there also Mikoto and the others?"

"Sister Mikoto and the others will also leave with you."

"Then there are teachers and instructors. That's what I worked hard to do. It can help you do a lot of things."

At least basic cultural education and military training are no problem.

But Lan Yuan Yanzhu, who was hiding in his arms, still shook his head: "They are all puppets made by you. There are many things that they cannot do at all."

"...Well, yes."

We need to make a few better dolls, otherwise we really won't be able to help them much.

But let’s wait until tonight to discuss this.

Gently stroke the head of the little girl in your arms.

"Are you exhausted? Get some sleep first. I'll help you keep an eye on things outside."

"……Um."

Lan Yuan Yanzhu didn't refuse because he was really too sleepy.

There are places to sleep in underground shelters.

Bai Ye picked her up and walked towards the place where she slept.

In fact, it's just paving the floor.

For these little girls, it doesn’t matter whether they have a bed or not. The key is to have sheets and quilts that can keep them warm.

Aihara Yanzhu, who was held in his arms like a princess, tried to look at his face with her eyes wide open.
