glory [rebirth]

"Your Highness." Paul was silent for a few seconds, and then replied, "The Black Swan Legion participated in the war for 13 years, of which I was in charge of the central region for four years. In 13 years, the Legion wiped out a total of 23167 enemy troops, captured 191 tanks of various types, 413 missiles of various types, intercepted two weapons of mass destruction, and destroyed a total of three large and small bases."

"Is this all your achievements?" Jiang Yao asked coldly, he put his hands behind his back, and his standing posture had an invisible sense of coercion.

"Yes, Your Highness." Paul said neither humble nor overbearing, his fingers stuck to the seam of his trousers, and he stood upright and looked at Jiang Yao, "The Black Swan Army sacrificed a total of 6312 officers and soldiers for this."

Jiang Yao stared at Paul for a long time, then suddenly snorted coldly, and scolded: "The 13 years of turmoil were exchanged for the lives of [-] soldiers? How do you explain the three battles in the Yarrow Highlands, the Wadi Valley, and the Lisha River? "

"..." Those three battles were the ones with the largest loss ratio since the Black Swan Legion entered the war. The reports submitted were tampered with, probably saying that the failure was due to mistakes in their own intelligence and poor command.

But Paul knows that the real reason is that Herman has been dragging the central area. Before the battle started, he had agreed with the commander at the time that he could only draw a draw and give the enemy a sigh of relief so that he could continue the protracted war. .In this way, the Black Swan Legion can continue to receive military expenses, and always maintain the best combat effectiveness. Most importantly, the military power in Herman's hands will not be handed over until Jiang Yao ascends the throne.

"Your Highness, it is well known that the black swan had an inner ghost in those three battles, and the intelligence department got false information, and the information provided to us was wrong, which led to the failure, and the black swan paid a heavy price for this. ’ Paul explained.

But Jiang Yao seemed to know it well, and if he didn't answer his words, Paul couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he continued: "After that, we intercepted a neutron bomb..."

"Dare to mention that neutron bomb?" Jiang Yao squinted his eyes and said, "I found two reports, which can be said to be exactly the same, and only one of them has different data. Do you want me to say more? You black people Swan Legion, what a skill, 294 citizens of the empire were easily wiped out by you."

Paul was shocked. He couldn't tell how much Jiang Yao knew. The report was handed in by him. The original document had been destroyed without leaving any evidence.

At that time, the prestige of the Black Swan was questioned. In order to appease the entire military, they had no choice but to speed up the progress here, and cooperated with the undercover agents in the central region to produce the neutron bomb.

However, due to time constraints, the interception was just over a certain village, causing all the people in the village to die, and their relatives were also silenced one after another.

How did Jiang Yao know about this?Paul remained calm, with sullen tone in his tone, and continued: "Your Highness, the neutron bomb was detonated in no man's land at that time. This file is well documented, and there is also a video record of the detonation at that time. I don't know where you came from Where did I get this news, but the Black Swan Legion has never changed their loyalty to the empire, and will never make any deceitful actions."

Jiang Yao stared at him with burning eyes. There was no flaw in Paul's expression. The two confronted each other outside the tent for more than a minute. In order to avoid suspicion, the other officers stood far away and could only hear a few clearly. Simple words, but the content is unknown.

"I hope so." Jiang Yao took one last deep look at him, and then walked past Paul.

Paul's palms were already sweating. Herman told him that Jiang Yao was nothing to fear at the moment. He had too little power and insufficient resources.I don't know anything about political relations and struggles, and I can't even handle interpersonal relationships well in military academy.

Such a crown prince is not their opponent at all, but when he confronted Jiang Yao today, he found that this is not the case.

He had to get in touch with Herman as soon as possible to find out what went wrong.

Damian followed Jiang Yao. He heard everything he said to Paul just now. He only experienced the last of these three battles, and he was still in another battlefield at the time. The news was still heard. , did not directly participate in the war.

After the tragic failure of the battle, although he had some doubts, but in the matter of war, mistakes are inevitable, and he did not think deeply about it.

But after hearing what Jiang Yao said, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

His premonition was absolutely right, for a seemingly ordinary matter with an explanation, the twists and turns behind it were so complicated that he couldn't imagine, in such a struggle, he was indeed walking on thin ice.

And Jiang Yao is more powerful than he imagined. The momentum he showed, the blank space and skills he spoke to him, did not look like a 20-year-old young man at all.This is something Damian can't figure out. Jiang Yao is about the same age as him, and most of them are in the military academy. If he wants to know so much information, he must have a very powerful intelligence network. how many people?

Jiang Yao asked him to speak on his behalf today, and participated in high-level meetings. Even the confrontation with Paul did not let him avoid suspicion, which undoubtedly regarded him as his confidant.

However, his file belonged to the Black Swan Legion. He stood on Jiang Yao's side and no one else knew about it, so it would be okay if Jiang Yao let him go undercover, so that he could better play the role of his identity.

But Jiang Yao exposed him directly in front of everyone, and he is currently the supreme commander of Black Swan in the central region.

Does Jiang Yao trust him or not?

After thinking of this, Damian was a little confused, he couldn't figure out what Jiang Yao was thinking.

Jiang Yao, who was walking in front, suddenly turned his head and glanced at him. Damian suddenly stopped, as if caught off guard, but Jiang Yao didn't say anything, just looked him up and down for a while, and then continued to walk forward go.

Damian: "..."

For some reason, Damian had the illusion that Jiang Yao had seen through his inner thoughts, so he stopped speculating and followed up again with his head down.

The radar on the side of the temporary headquarters has been built, and the missile defense system is monitoring the situation here in real time to ensure Jiang Yao's safety.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Ministry of National Defense held a press conference on time to inform the national media of the summary of today's missile attack, and announced that the next battle would be taken over by the crown prince.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was boiling and morale was high. Banners with Jiang Yao's name were even pulled out on the streets, wishing victory in the follow-up battle.

Capital, Schwartz Apartments.

Mu Qingtong rested on the bed, curled up slightly. He watched the live broadcast of the press conference held by the Ministry of National Defense. Almost every piece of news now has Jiang Yao's name, although the picture is still the scene of him giving a speech on National Day .

According to the news, Jiang Yao took over the Thorn Legion and directly commanded the battle in the central region, so he will not return to the capital in a short time, so the two of them will not have the chance to meet before the battle is over...

Mu Qingtong touched her lower abdomen and sighed.

Headquarters, inside the crown prince's tent.

The doctor had just checked Jiang Yao's ears and told him that there was nothing serious and that he could rest for a few days.

Jiang Yao was still resting on the chair with his eyes closed, and Damian stood beside him, keeping the gun in his hand.

The two remained silent, Jiang Yao frowned slightly, as if there were too many things to worry about.

Before the doctor came, Damian saw that Jiang Yao had tried to call Mu Qingtong's number, but he never got through.

"Your Highness..." After a while, Damian broke the silence.

"Huh?" Jiang Yao lazily responded.

"After pregnancy, people will be very emotionally unstable, fluctuate greatly, can't stand stimulation, and some will even develop serious mental illness." Damian said.

"So?" Jiang Yao's face was not very good-looking, he opened his eyes and stared at Damian sharply, "What do you want to say?"

"I just asked about Schwartz's situation." Damian said, took out his communicator and handed it to Jiang Yao, "He said that Qingtong is sleeping now, there is no major problem, but after he came back from the hospital... …crying a lot.”

"..." After Jiang Yao heard the last sentence, he paused when he stretched out his hand, and then he took it and read the long message.

Schwartz's information is very detailed, and the result sheet of the fetal examination is attached. Jiang Yao looked at the black and white imaging picture for a long time, with extremely complicated eyes, which seemed to be resentment, pity, and resentment.

Damian still couldn't figure out what Jiang Yao was thinking.

Schwartz forwarded the message to himself, then returned the communicator to Damian, and said to him: "See if everyone from the military department is here, and prepare for the next strategic deployment."

The dilapidated corridor was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke after the explosion, and the debris was burning on the ground, making a crackling sound.

Holding a loaded pistol in his hand, Jiang Yao ran towards the end of the corridor with blood on his face. Behind him were more than [-] special forces soldiers. Some of them had camouflage on their faces, and the other wore helmets. .

"Your Majesty! In, in front—" Getting closer to the destination, and gradually widening his vision, Schwartz shouted anxiously, waving his arms.

Jiang Yao almost flew over. At the end of the corridor was a semi-open-air hall. The medical staff were busy in it, doing emergency rescue measures, and they didn't even notice his arrival.

where is he?

Jiang Yao looked around anxiously, and Schwartz pointed in a direction.

The man was lying on a stretcher, his body was covered in blood, his face was pale, and the corner of his mouth was still bleeding. When he saw the person who had been praying for a long time coming, he smiled weakly, and then his expression became sad again.

Seeing Mu Qingtong's appearance, Jiang Yao almost knelt beside him. He looked at him in disbelief, and after making sure that his wrist was not injured, he held him back, threw away the gun, and gently touched his wrist with the other hand. to his forehead.

"Your Majesty..." The doctor saw Jiang Yao and saluted him.

Jiang Yao turned a deaf ear, his lower lip trembled, unable to say a word.

Mu Qingtong blinked, already extremely weak. He looked at Jiang Yao, and suddenly two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and said, "I'm sorry...Jiang Yao...the child is gone..."

Jiang Yao was completely dumbfounded, and subconsciously asked, "What child?"

Mu Qingtong's eyes were red, and he held his hand and touched his lower abdomen. Only then did Jiang Yao notice his strangeness. He didn't need to touch it with his hands, and his lower abdomen could be seen with the naked eye.

"I'm sorry..." Mu Qingtong didn't have the strength to pull Jiang Yao's hand, but Jiang Yao froze in the air and dared not touch it.

"My child..." Jiang Yao's eyes were red, his expression was unbelievable, his mind was blank, and he sat on the ground, unable to accept this fact at all.

When Jiang Yao was in a daze, Mu Qingtong needed to be rescued immediately without wasting time. The doctor had to separate the two and carried Mu Qingtong into the ambulance.

……

Jiang Yao woke up suddenly, seeing that it was still pitch black outside the tent, he held his forehead, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

He dreamed of that scene again, and he would never forget the scene at that time, the look in Mu Qingtong's eyes, and what he said to him.

He clearly remembered that Mu Qingtong died of hemorrhage on the third day, which was July 391, 7.
